I love my Moto X as well...my GS4 with stock (GPe) 4.4.x has mostly been sitting in a drawer for 6 months since I bought the Moto X, even though the GS4 is faster, larger hi-res screen, bigger battery and better camera. The size of the Moto X and Active Notifications are hard to beat. That being said, if OP is "stuck" with an N5 for the moment, I did find an app in the Play Store that mimics the Active Notifications that I installed on the GS4, and it works pretty well.

[Moto X General] Jason.DROID:
I chuckle a bit every time I see this. Its performance was on par with the flagships of the time, though I found the S4 with the quad-core S600 to be seriously lacking. But I can't stand TouchWiz anyway. I was just curious about how it performed and was not impressed.

But most people who have used the Moto X have never really said anything about needing more performance from the CPU. Yes, if it had a 1080p screen, it'd most likely need an S800 just because of the upgraded Adreno 330.
[Moto X General] biggiestuff:
If you like active notifications, have you tried dynamic notifications? It's exactly like Active Display except it actually has a few more features I like. One of being, if you get multiple notifications from several apps, you can actually switch to that notification and read it. With Active display only the latest one appears on top for you to read while the others appear at the bottom that you cannot switch over to read. On the S4 AMOLED it should look just as nice as the Moto X. It didn't look as good on the N5 screen but worked the same nonetheless.
[Moto X General] lensgrabber:
Any phone will break or screen will crack depending on the circumstances of the drop. I've seen so many Samsung and iPhones with cracked screens it's just ridiculous and the phones are still being used. That is amazing. Anyway, the Moto X has a outstanding build quality in my opinion but then again I've never dropped my X or any other phone for that matter. Don't let reports of people cracking their screen set you off a wonderful device. If you search hard enough you'll probably find a cracked screen story for any model of phone.

Now... future Moto phones, who knows. I know Moto has had great builds with the X line but with Lenovo taking over the building I'm hoping the quality remains but only time will tell.
[Moto X General] biggiestuff:
My buddy knocked my moto x out of my hand and upon initial inspection it looked perfectly fine. After several months I looked back and now i noticed the scuff marks. The white is pretty good at covering up scuffs from concrete. On black it would have shown up instantly.
[Moto X General] devilsdouble:
And when this type of app is used with phones like S4 or S5, how much additional battery drain does it cost? I mean Moto X has a separate core for this Active Display task, but other phones don't, so I guess it will kill the battery more with other phones (don't count the LCD panels)?
[Moto X General] biggiestuff:
I have it on my wife's nexus 5 and she still averages 4HOURS of sot. Phone sleeps well while her phone is tucked away in her bag at the hospital. I imagine it would work even better with the s4 because of the amoled screen. It would only light up the pixels it needs unlike the nexus 5. The app with primary features is free. Give it a whirl.
[Moto X General] Jamolah:
No I ended up returning the nexus 5 after 8 hours of using it.

I decided using a cracked motox is better than living with the shortcomings of the nexus5
[Moto X General] Nathan-NL:
Hey guys! I returned my Nexus 5 because of issues with the noise cancelling (mic). People could only hear me when I spoke directly into the phone.

Now I wonder, how's the Moto X's call quality?
[Moto X General] eksasol:
Motorola is known to have some of the best signal quality and voice quality among competitors, it's one of the main reason to go with this brand.

[Moto X General] Wutang200:
The call quality was the MAIN reason why I returned my Nexus 5! It was absolutely awful and nobody could ever hear me. I got sick of repeating almost every word I spoke when on the phone. Google will NOT acknowledge the issue and the other N5 users kept telling me it was my voice or carrier that were causing issues with the noise cancellation system.

The MAIN reason for me buying the X was the outstanding call quality with the lovely features a close second.

I know exactly how you feel but I can assure you, you won't experience a single issue with call quality on the Moto X.
[Moto X General] Nathan-NL:
Thank you for your reply. I was hoping you would answer my question. It seems rather ridiculous that your voice or carrier should be the issue. I don't think your voice suddenly changed when you bought the Moto X? :P

Before and after I bought the Nexus 5 with 32GB I considered the Moto X, but in my country it's only available with 16GB and not cheap. To be honest, the build quality of LG Nexus phones isn't really a pro to me either. I now use the Nexus 4 again and it feels better build. But perhaps that's easier to achieve with glass. And at least the call quality is normal/acceptable.

I just hope the Moto X + 1 will get a worldwide/EU release with 32GB/64GB and not too overpriced. Moto Maker would be totally awesome too of course.
[Moto X General] Wutang200:
LOL some of the N5 owners on here seriously told me to change the way I speak so the phone understands me better. I even offered to call some of them up to prove to them how clear my voice actually is. I was born and raised in the UK!

Then they told me to just wait for the next update, which has ONLY just hit the N5's last week or so (not that it fixes the issue).

Then they blamed my carrier just like Google. Carrier charged me for a new SIM card for no reason as they couldn't find any issues with it.

After that, I just gave up and decided to accept Google's refund and find something else. If I hadn't, I'd have still been waiting for a fix and would have been on my 30th replacement lol.

My Moto X is leagues ahead in terms of build quality compared to the N5. So far not a single dead pixel, nor any SIM card tray misalignment issues or mic issues or light bleed like on the N5's. Also I've not needed to get any warranty replacements at all.

I'm also waiting for the X+1 and hope it hits the UK the same time as the US. Even if it gets a late UK release, I'll just wait for it.
[Moto X General] Jamolah:
I guess that's why I can get a consistent LTE signal in my house where no ph9ne could.
[Moto X General] Nathan-NL:
It's as if you're not allowed to criticize the Nexus 5 around here. Why would we criticize it if there was no need to?

I'm really eager to see what the Moto X + 1 will offer, hopefully the screen won't be enormous and I hope support will be as good when Lenovo takes over. The only Nexus device I might still consider after this, is from HTC or Sony. Or Motorola of course, but Moto's are already very close to stock with almost as fast updates (or sometimes faster!).
[Moto X General] alpha-niner64:
I just want to make a point here regarding price. We all can agree that the Moto X is the most well-built phones out there considering what it intended to do. Why not reward the effort that it takes to achieve such a feat? You will rarely find any phone with the attention to detail that the Moto X has such as the signal quality, the water-resistant, the speaker quality, the slim-bezel and much more. Did you know that the Moto X/G contains a built in headphone amp(once tapped using a Faux kernel) can make listening experience comparable to a Wolfson-equipped phone? No other phone on the market has that (except for Samsung Exynos-equipped phones).

Since the topic is about the Nexus 5: beneath that S800 chip and display you're left with a underwhelming camera, poor speaker quality, bad battery life, underperforming signal strength(especially compared with the Galaxy S4, HTC One). Sure, one can simply bring up the price to justify those short-comings. But you know, one can also bring up the price to justify what makes the Moto X worth paying for considering Motorola has been good to its products and demonstrates innovation, rather than playing puppet to the spec/size wars. We know the Moto X+1 will come with at least a S800 chip which is good enough. If you back that up by a 1080 AMOLED display in a comfortable size and maintain everything that makes the Moto X so good for us....$400 seems more than a fair price and then some.
[Moto X General] :
I do agree the Moto x is a better phone overall.

But....having had an X, and now the wife has it....cause I missed flashing and got an N5.....I'll disagree with a few things...for fun. ;)

Yes, the Moto X design and build quality wins.

Cameras.....equal.

Battery life....nearly equal. For me and many others anyway. I averaged about 30 hours, with 6 and a half hours screen time on the X. On the N5 I average about 24 hours total and 6 hours screen time. With my same setup and usage on both.

Speaker....a bit better on the X.

Signal strength... For me, one bar better on the X only. I feared radio reception when I moved to the n5....and was pleasantly surprised. With my S2....the ONLY way where I live to make calls was outside. Texts sometimes too. And Data....no, never. With the X...no problems. And with the N5, no problems either. Tho it will cut out on and off on calls quicker than the X when the weather is messing with my signal. Lousy signal where I live.

So really, for me....they are fairly similar devices. With a small edge going to the X. But I got bored and got the N5. Lol
[Moto X General] Jamolah:
But then if you factor the touchless control, active display and no crackling noise when streaming music and that puts the motox ahead by a mile
[Moto X General] :
You may be right! ;)

While I miss not having to hit the power button to wake my phone.....I love my customizable notification led....different colors and speeds for different things. I prefer the light now for sure!

Yes, touch less is nice! I do use voice commands on the N5, but need to hit my shortcut to Google search first. Don't use Gel launcher.

And I don't have any crackling. Lol

Yes, the X has some nice features, no doubt. But its all taste. :)
[Moto X General] Wutang200:
Personally I didn't notice much difference in cameras other than a slightly better showing in the N5 camera due to the OIS.

Signal strength is leagues ahead of the N5 from personal experience. Calls used to cut in and out faster than a porn movie! It got so bad that I had to use my old S2 just for phone calls.

My Moto X hasn't ever cut in or out so far even when talking in my car at silly speeds.
[Moto X General] :
I guess it depends on carrier and location. Lol

My S2 was nearly unusable at home....aside from WiFi....data and radio only worked outside...and with my N5 I can walk all over the house. It is not quite as good as our X....but very close.
[Moto X General] Julianocas:
Did you know?
[Moto X General] :
That's only useful as a charge indicator tho. Which i knew and have setup. ;)

Its not a notification light.
[Moto X General] 350Rocket:
I'm only in here looking around because I think my girlfriend needs to try a moto x. She traded her iphone 5c for a bb q10 and hates it. Now she can't afford to get an iPhone again and since she likes my nexus 5 were looking at nexus 4's used in our price range. The moto x being almost the same software wise other than some bonus stuff makes it look really worth the price used.

Anyway having the nexus 5 I definitely disagree with some of the statements here....

The one I will confirm is that the first week I had the phone I had a call quality problem but it was fixed when I got the 2nd of 3 updates I've received in the couple months I've had it. No more issues and the signal strength is almost exactly the same as a gs3 and gs4 mini that belong to coworkers and we were trying to make calls out in the bush. He had 2 bars and failed to make a call and I made the call on 0-1 bars successfully. Monitored signal for a bit as we were trying to find a place to get signal.

Battery life is great for me. 0% drain overnight with WiFi etc off. I get 2 days and 3-4 hours of screen time or in heavy use up to 5 hours screen on time. Not the best but not bad by my standards. Best phone I've had yet.

The speaker is much better than the HTC one S I used to have and I overall liked that phone.

The camera may not be the best and software could be better but its the best camera phone I've had yet.

Build quality seems decent to me. I'm sure I'm missing something else I saw in here but I had to say something cause I'm reading a lot of stuff that has never affected me and people are talking like its the worst phone ever.
[Moto X General] :
Get her the X for sure. My wife loves hers! Never wants an iPhone again. ;)

I don't personally see the point in anyone getting a nexus whatever over the X.....UNLESS they are rooter and romming types. Then the Nexus is definitely the way to go.

Best X experience is root, stock and Gravity Box. ;)
[Moto X General] 350Rocket:
The nexus is the first phone I've had for this long and not rooted. Stock android is awesome. They both have there pros and con's and I would be happy with either but I think you're right. The x would probably be the phone for her.

For me the upside to the nexus is in a couple years when apps and Google services are more resource hungry than now the more powerful hardware will probably be noticeable. Right now its probably not.

My 4 year old HTC desire felt fast the first 2 years. Now even on cm7 it lags and runs like crap after Google apps update.
[Moto X General] kdog350:
The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have the best components and it runs better on 4.4.2 than my Mom's Galaxy s4. I'm not worried about how this phone will handle the future versions of android.
[Moto X General] alpha-niner64:
I think that will be quickly realized: the age of the Gnex as the aging drivers can no longer handle the syscalls that the newer version of Android will require. At least by that time, the GS4 will be about $150-$200 on the market: perfect for the upgrade!
[Moto X General] SymbioticGenius:
Well from what I understand android should be getting more lightweight as it updates. Problem is manufactures don't want to update old phones cause it conflicts with their sales goals. Unfortunately CM can only do so much. The MotoX is the closest thing I like to a nexus without having to CM a galaxy device.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the nexus, but I adore the MotoX. I've always liked Motorola and am thoroughly impressed with what they accomplished with this phone. I can't wait to see what they do with the next one regardless of how big it is
[Moto X General] 350Rocket:
Well they keep saying each new version is supposed to be easier on resources, etc but it sure doesn't seem like it. Kk doesn't run any better on older devices than jb or ICS did and it's much slower than GB was. Seems like it keeps getting more and more resource hungry. It just isn't noticeable on higher end devices like the n5 or moto x. But what happens in a few years who knows. Sure most people want to be on to the next thing less than a year from now but I like the idea of being able to use the same phone in 4 years if possible. My laptop works as good today as it did when I bought it 4 years ago so I see no reason to buy a new one.
[Moto X General] Jamolah:
Get you gf the motox she'll love it. I bet you after using it you may even leave your nexus 5 for the X. Other than screen size I see no advantage to the nexus 5
[Moto X General] 350Rocket:
I told her its probably the best bet for her besides iPhone and if she doesn't like it she can have my nexus and I'll use the moto x.
[Moto X General] :
No way will she want your N5 over the X. Lol

Same looking UI, but the N5 is missing the unique moto features. ?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiCASSiMO:
I lost the root on both of our Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 phones that were stock and updated to 4.4.3 via OTA. I didn't know how to correct it, as I couldn't find any information about it, and realized the solution (at least for me) was relatively simple (copy/paste from Jubakuba's Ultimate Nexus 4 Root Guide)

Obtaining Root Access and Custom Recovery:

Turn on USB Debugging.

To do so; you must first go to Settings>About>Build Number and click seven times.

The actual setting can then be found in Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging

Download the following:

SuperSU (CWM.zip)

CWM (Pick the version for your device)

Place the recovery-clockwork-VERSIONNUMBER-mako.img file into your C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder.

Put the SuperSU.zip on your phone.

Open another Command Prompt if it isn't still open. (Navigate to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools and shift + right click. Select "Open Command Window Here.")

With your phone plugged in type:

adb reboot bootloader (Hit Enter)

And wait for your phone to boot into the android again.

Now type:

fastboot flash recovery IMAGENAME.img

(Change the file name to the correct file name and Hit Enter)

Once that is finished: select the "Recovery Mode" option again on your phone.

You should get a new recovery menu here. Select "install zip from sd card" and "choose zip from sd card."

Find the SuperSU.zip that you transferred earlier and select "Yes" to installing.

Navigate back to "Reboot" and reboot your phone.

You're now rooted!​
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
silly guy.. you will ALWAYS lose root if updating via ota. and you will lose your custom recovery. all you need to do is flash a custom recovery onto your device via fastboot, then flash the latest supersu via the recovery, then boot up. that is all. its much easier to flash the latest rooted stock rom than take an ota.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc123:
How is it possible that you don't know how to re-root the phone this time.....if you rooted it previously in the first place? Someone else rooted it originally, bought it used from someone else that rooted it? Perplexing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
hahahaha as I read this I thought the same thing as well. How do you not know how to re-root a Nexus a Nexus? Easiest phone to root and why would you think that upgrading would not remove root.... Its ok it happens OP now in the future you will be more knowledgeable...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiCASSiMO:
You guys need to take it easy on someone who doesn't do this one a daily basis. Consider me a noob, who roots phones once in a blue moon with line-by-line instructions, and the moves on with life until an OTA or something else happens. If the rooting process is enough times, the knowledge eventually sticks, but in my case there are more important things to remember, like my anniversary or the names of my kids. :o
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
I see responses like yours all the time. I'm not saying that this is the most important thing in my life but if I'm going to try in root a piece of equipment that I've paid a decent amount of money for I'm going to make sure I know what the heck I'm doing.

Anyone know how to increase free storage on internal memory? When I go into TWRP, it says that the internal memory size is only 11GB. Anyone know how to increase this? This is the total available size of the memory, and not the free space :/ By comparison, the micro SD card says 7.7GB and it's an 8GB card. Anyone have thoughts on how to improve this?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] scottharris4:
11 is what you have available after it's formatted and after Android is installed. You don't get 16 GB out of the box.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] aybesea69:
Sure... For the tablet, root it and use titanium to remove a bunch of useless crap. It's what you should do regardless.

A standard kitkat ROM is only 200mb. A TW ROM is over a gig, packed. That should tell you what you need to know.

I wish someone would release a true AOSP ROM for the TM-520.Until then, deflating TW and running Nova is as close as I can get.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Benjamin1966:
Does titanium remove TW? I use nova but not rooted yet. I'm not sure what you meant when you said deflate TW.

I have been using an unlocked Note 2 for quite some time, and I just picked up a used one for my wife. I started it up and see it's running Alliance 26 (current version), but when I reboot into recovery I get the stock recovery with the dead robot. It boots fine though, and the ROM seems to be running OK. I've been unlocked for so long, I don't know what to look for anymore.

It's running MJ9, and the device status says "official", just like my unlocked pbone. I see no indication of safestrap, but I'm not familiar with it anyway, so I'm not sure what to look for.

Am I going to be safe to Odin TWRP or even flash stock? I'd really just like to start completely clean and flash my ROM of choice, whatever I decide it should be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] savaytse66:
A little more info from Download mode:

Custom binary download: Yes (1 counts)

Current binary: Samsung official

System status: official

Knox warranty void: 1

I tried to flash current TWRP with Odin 3.07 without success. It just boots to stock recovery. The ROM boots fine though, so if the bootloader is locked, how would the custom ROM have got on there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] savaytse66:
Ok, it turns out the phone is locked but running safestrap. For some reason on boot, the safestrap menu (recovery or continue) was not popping up, I couldn't tell what was going on. I just reinstalled SS and all seems well.
