It's about Thunderhawk web browser and Vitrual Pool Mobile (a pool game). They both work in horizontal mode. Having my screen aligned vertically (default) they work fine, I can awnser calls, read notifications and come back to the program without any problem. When I set the today screen to the horizontal alignment the programs starts and works fine, but after a call or a notification is displayed on the screen, the alignment suddenly changes to vertical and upside down! The program is displayed normally, so I have to guess where to touch the screen in order to exit to the today screen. After coming back to today screen everything works fine, the screen is aligned horizontally, as it was before the call or a notification came. My rom is AKU2, I use O2 and have made some standard registry hacks (cache size, edge icon, etc.). Help!

It has come to light that the GPe Moto G uses EXT4 for the userdata partition, rather than F2FS like other models. Something worth considering if you plan to buy this version, or flash it's ROM.

F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System)

One reason ANDROID become slow over time is the lack of instructions TRIMM before version 4.0.

The MotoG has the TRIMM and F2FS that allow a very good performance, lack of F2FS in GOOGLE version is bad news

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
At this time; it looks like they deliberately reduced the performance of the GPe version. Unless they have changed from using eMMC to NAND for internal memory, tests should reflect the downgrade. Perhaps they have deliberately done this to minimize sales cannibalization of other GPe devices.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cra1g321:
I cant' see many people checking what file-system the phone uses before deciding on which one to choose ;)

I flashed the GPE ROM today to my UK Moto G, and although i do like that it uses less RAM,

I think i have decided to go back to the UK Kitkat.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
I was thinking more from the perspective that the GPe Moto G may now be clearly slower than the other devices in the range, whereas before (using f2fs) the difference wasn't so obvious. That would influence sales.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealthmopped:

There is no difference in antutu. Both reach about 16850-17000 points.

I have used the normal one for 2 month, now after google sold Motorola to Lenovo i decided to flash it into a GP-edition.

( All Custom roms I tried, don't work well )

The Phone has about 300mb more space on sd and the feel is that it is faster than the normal version. Mayby because of about 60mb more free ram when it operates.

It should be easy enough to format the GPe's userdata partition to F2FS.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Well, I can tell after reading the drivel quoted in the OP that it's complete bull****.

1) eMMC smokes NAND in performance and has done so for years.

2) Every device on the market has used eMMC for years. The last time I saw a device with dedicated NAND instead of eMMC was the original Samsung Aries (Galaxy S1) family. The last Nexus to use NAND was the Nexus S. Galaxy S2 and all newer devices have been eMMC. (In the case of Nexus devices - the Galaxy Nexus was eMMC as have all Nexus devices since it. Galaxy Nexus was particularly notorious for the fact that Google first discovered the infamous "Samsung Superbrick" bug during prototype development. Google forced Samsung to fix their defective eMMC for the GNex, but Samsung continued to use the defective flash for months in their own devices and also provided it to other manufacturers.)

3) eMMC is far more than just a soldered-on MicroSD. While there is a common subset of functionality, eMMC supports transfer speeds and bus widths significantly wider/faster than MicroSD. (e.g. eMMC will always be SIGNIFICANTLY faster than MicroSD, unless possibly you compare 3-year-old eMMC against brand new MicroSD.)

It's questionable as to whether f2fs really provides that much benefit over ext4. It seems to depend partly on the performance of the underlying device - on MicroSDs it provides a performance benefit. On SATA SSDs it provides little to no performance benefit in most cases, and is slower in some. eMMC is somewhere in between these. In the one benchmark in http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_f2fs_benchmarks&num=1 where f2fs significantly outperformed everything else, there was clear evidence it was doing so by sacrificing data integrity. (Think along the lines of that horrific per-file fsync disable patch some kernels have. It's awesome for benchmark epeen but horrible for data integrity.)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Some more information:

Beyond the anecdotal evidence above that f2fs has data integrity issues, I can now personally confirm that f2fs is far poorer than ext4 at data integrity.

In the process of bringing up omni, a bug was causing frequent reboots of the device during bootup. This caused a large number of "ghost files" on the filesystem. They would appear if you did "ls *" but spit out an error that they didn't exist. Not good when that happens on your dalvik cache.

These files couldn't be created, nor could their directory entries be deleted. An attempt to run fsck.f2fs would just crash with an assertion error. To fix the issue I had to completely reformat the /data partition. (Not just a typical wipe/factory reset which leaves the "sdcard" contents in /data/media)

With ext4, those files would have been deletable and fsck would've actually done something.

I thought I would lose performance with gpe but no. Can't feel that. I like seeing more free ram but there is no feelable performance change

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgauze:
Will it be more difficult to get CM11 running on the GPE version with the ext4 filesystem on /data? Flashing a ROM alone won't change the filesystem on /data (afaik), but will there be an option for format to ext4 on any of the recoveries?

I'd rather buy the GPE version, but my ultimate goal is to get CM11 running on it, so I hope it won't be a problem.

F2FS Put to the Test Against EXT4

www.xda-developers.com/android/f2fs-put-to-the-test-against-ext4​
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rknize:
Two things.

1) fsck.f2fs is currently more of a debug tool than a repair tool. It makes no attempt to fix errors that it finds and typically bails on the first major problem it sees.

2) The F2FS driver in the G and X has a number of differences compared to the upstream kernel. They are available in our git hub. The problems that you encountered would be expected with the upstream driver.

I followed a tutorial on XDA about getting back to stock rom and after flashing custom recovery and moving the stock rom to SD card i flashed it from recovery and it failed in the process.

Now the phone just boots into recovery, can anyone please post me a quick tutorial on getting the stock firmware back? i would really appreciate it.

So I'll be getting a Verizon Moto X soon and I plan to root via SlapMyMoto. My question is this: If my device ever needs to be serviced for warranty or resold at a later date, will I be able to unroot with ease back to 100% stock 4.4 without a trace of the rooting? The process is so convoluted that I worry it breaks certain things and I won't be able to switch back to pure stock. Has anyone tried this?
[Moto X Q&A] enriquejones666:
"100% stock without a trace of rooting"... No. You can easily flash back to the stock 4.2.2 image, But the system write protect that "WpNoMo" disables, does not revert back (meaning, the system wp will remain disabled). So, it will be nearly indistinguishable from stock, but a trained expert could easily detect it (a single command sent over adb will tell you wp is off).

Will the stock recovery return when flashing back to 4.2.2? I wanna make sure the buyer can upgrade OTA and whatever like stock.
[Moto X Q&A] gerodive:
This. For all practical purposes, will the phone pass a warranty test and be resellable to act like a normal phone with OTA updates and the like?
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
Yes it will. Like stock depends on whether or not you disabled write protection completely.

I believe the answer is yes because the 4.4 OTA tripped the counter.
[Moto X Q&A] gerodive:
What does that mean? Apologies for my relative ignorance in this field.
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
From what I've read, the 4.4 OTA trips the flash counter within the bootloader as if you had flashed something yourself manually. What I gathered from that is there's no way to distinguish a previously rooted Moto X from a completely stock Moto X with the 4.4 OTA.
[Moto X Q&A] gerodive:
That's good to hear. So I'll be able to root 4.4, unroot, and get whatever the newest OTA is (probably 4.4.2) without any issue?
