[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hokies:
Hey everybody, I have a few questions regarding the new Moto X pure., this seems like an awesome site and I'm excited to be part of the community. I have been reading through the forums and doing some research, I'm just looking for some clarification.

Some background info: grandfathered in with an unlimited data plan from Verizon. Been using an S4 for the past couple years (full retail), it is not rooted, FoxFi for tethering. Main uses for phone are pictures, phone stuff (calls/texts), games, and tethering.

The moto x pure seems like a perfect fit. Sounds like foxfi doesn't work with motorola. I know that speculating on being able to root is a tough subject but things sound promising.

Questions:

How does one transfer current phone data and plan to the newly purchased moto x pure? Should moto x pure be rooted first?

What is a good tethering app?

How does one keep phone "simple", driving factor for rooting is to gain ability to tether?

If phone has ability for external storage, why would people want >16GB?

Lastly, how sweet is that bamboo back gonna look?!?! Wonder if you could woodburn some designs in there?

Thanks again, appreciate any response.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spike96:
I'm in the same boat as you, (upgrading from Verizon Galaxy S4) but unfortunately I lost my unlimited data plan already because of someone else on the account.

Anyway, you can keep the unlimited data plan very easily. The only thing you need to do to get Verizon service on your new Moto X Pure is get a working Verizon nano sim card, and you can do this two ways.

1. This option is great because you don't have to deal with Verizon at all. You take your micro sim card from your S4, cut it along the edges, and transform it into nano sim card. I know this sounds risky, but there are countless tutorials on how to do this, and there are even cutters you can buy on Amazon for about $4 that will cut it perfectly. Further, the only information on the sim card that needs to be read by the phone is in the very center, so there is room for some error.

2. You can call Verizon customer service or go to a store and ask for a new nano sim. Just don't talk to them about changing plans and you will be able to get a free nano sim and keep your data plan.

I have some high confidence that someone is going to root this Moto X fairly easily. We already have an unlocked bootloader, and that has made some methods possible that we could probably achieve root with. But you do not need to root it first. I'm going to play around with stock android and see how long I can live without root. (I'll probably give up in the first month XD)

As for tethering options, I remember reading somewhere on this forum that Motorola was going to add a native option. Whether the app is free to use or not has yet to be determined, but if all else fails, I use Barnacle Wifi Tethering and it is very consistent.

Your Moto X will be "simple" out of the box. That is one of the selling points. It's not gonna have touchwiz or any other unwanted skins, but it'll be pure android (hence the "Moto X Pure"). Further, the Moto X is being sold directly to consumers so the carriers can't get their mitts on it and load it up with bloatware. So as long as you don't download too many apps, your phone will be simple and fast.

Internal storage: You're right, 16GB and a microsd card slot will be sufficient for many users. I was considering this option as well. However, I have a 64GB microsd, which I keep over 45GB of music on and I don't want anything else on the card. So I bought a 32GB phone, which I'll keep apps, photos, and videos on, while the card will hold all of my music. It's all about personal preference.

BTW, android Marshmallow (the new android release coming this Fall) will allow the microsd card to be considered apart of the phone storage. So you can put anything on it that you would on your phone's storage. Buying a 16GB phone and a 64GB/ 128GB microsd card can definitely save people money!

I don't know anything about the bamboo or other wood designs, I got black leather with champagne accents. So excited, haha.

Spike 96, I want to thank for this info! I'm new to this forum and have the same exact issue... I've been with Verizon with unlimited data plan for a long time. Got this new Moto XPU from BB store. Now is there a sequence to set this unit? Or simply cut the Micro SIM to Nano SIM, put in the Moto X, turn it on and set?

Your response would be greatly appreciated!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j37hr0:
Use a cutting tool. They have one in most of the T-Mobile stores in the area, not sure about Verizon stores, but they should. Go in ask if they have a sim cutter and if you can use it.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
I highly advise against cutting down a SIM, especially since we have a SIM tray and not a slot, too many jams and breakage issues.

Go to the local T-Mobile or Verizon store, whichever is applicable, and have them transfer your number to a real nano SIM.

There are plenty of referenced out there as to why you should never do this a quick Google search will find, including it could compromise your warranty... Apple was kind of famous for this, and there is no reason that Moto couldn't consider this "abuse" as well (although I have no point of reference for that statement). Also note that very old full size SIMs can have stuff in them beyond the edges of the 4FF SIM size.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gredzky99:
I want to thank you for an advice. I ordered one from amazon and work on that. Verizon blocked users like me from getting a new Nano SIM, I would be very surprise if they let me use the tool to cut it... Problem is with new unit and new Nano is that Verizon will not activate it on old grandfathered unlimited plan. Based on conversation with Verizon rep, that plan is coded different and new Moto XPE thru new Nano would coded differently. To me it's clean talk, Verizon doesn't want to have new, better and faster phones on old unlimited plan because I would burning their data...

I will try cutting the SIM. Thanks again!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
You should do some Googling... Lots of people have gotten nano Sims on unlimited data plans, but your call. Good luck and enjoy your new phone
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeck411:
I have grandfather unlimited data and I cut my sim myself with a tool I bought on amazon. I popped the newly cut nano sim into my moto x pure and it was good to go. Verizon signal pops right on when you turn your phone on and it does not mess up your plan. I have been using this cut sim since the phones came out.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Singularity - Kernel Adiutor v12

So, [MENTION=4392154]apophis9283[/MENTION] gave me the second post. Yeah, apparently he knows "knows people in high places"? So he says anyway.

Anyway. Given the huge issues we were having with UKM and Synapse, we're now just going to be heavily modifying Kernel Adiutor to have the options that we want. However, this is my first delve into app development... I've always been more of a kernel guy (C mostly).

Keep in mind that this is a Work In Progress. Some features have not been included yet, others are broken from upstream (automatic downloading and flashing of zips). Hopefully everything will be added/fixed quickly, but I offer no ETA's.

*Important Note: Many Roms (especially CM based) have a long delay in the amount of time that the BOOT_COMPLETE broadcast takes before it's sent. Most roms include, as part of init, default values that get set on boot complete. This interferes with this app setting it's values on boot. To work-around this, increase the delay for setting values on boot to something around 20 seconds. On AOSP based roms this doesn't appear to be an issue.

Without Further Ado,

Here's the download link for V12

Also, the link to our Github for legal reasons ;)

The Github commit history will also serve as a changelog. I'll try to keep the commit messages clear so that it's obvious what's added/changed. I'll also do my best to add markers in the form of empty commits in the history so that it's easy to see what's been changed since the last version that you installed.

These apks will be signed by me, so you will not be able to update them from the playstore.

Our github shows where it was forked from, but just as an additional courtesy and to render proper credits. The original github is here none of this would be possible with Grarak's work. While the about page in our app is modified (to help reduce erroneous info being submitted to his github and g+) the rate app and donate popups still point to his links so that he can get proper respects.

Eventually, I may submit my changes to him as pull requests... But I'm unsure the coding is clean enough to really do so.

*edit*

Starting with V4, I've added support for High Brightness Mode intents to toggle the mode from apps like tasker.

Toggle on: com.singularity.kerneladiutor.action.HBM_ON

Toggle off: com.singularity.kerneladiutor.action.HBM_OFF

Do you test it with bliss rom？

I need to get more commits cause i dont think im caught up, but, it should work. Just in case make a backup
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
This is no longer associated with blissrom its a stand alone kernel that I will actively develop
[Nexus 6 Android Development] II_DiE_4:
Thanks for the kernel.

Just a suggestion, can you tweak the governors?

They are all in their basic settings,which are horrible.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
You can, I personally set smartmax eps and preservative. I set those specifically for maximum battery without causing lag

use synapse and set the governor and the tweakables are below the governors
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pantmunu:
Doesn't boot on chroma. Bootloop heaven. :p
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dirtyjersey856:
Wow is an understatement when reading all the governors, schedulers, ect on this op.lol. Reminds me of a certain kernel I used to run on my old S3. Might have to try this.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
I may need a commit i had seen awhile back that makes it work with aosp and cm based roms
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pantmunu:
Wait. So its cm based.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
Yes, but i believe thers a commit that makes it work with both

I've pulled your zimage out and used it in another boot and it boots on AOSP
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dachfenster:
Couldn't get it over the Google logo on Pure Nexus - thought maybe it's because that I'm running f2fs.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wase4711:
works nice for me on Blisspop
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
I use synapse. Theres an updated version of UKM in the OP.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
Im making a build now. In all seriousness you should not be having issues. As you see from the post above. Hes running it fine on bliss
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wase4711:
you can use synapse on Bliss, even though its got Kernel auditor baked in?

should I wait for 1.2 to change things, or is 1.0 basically the same?

thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Psych0t1c20:
I know, it's weird. Disable fc notifications was checked. I'll uncheck, and flash again.

[MENTION=4392154]apophis9283[/MENTION] Is this kernel a good combo with dirty unicorns?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
I cant speak to that. Ive never run said rom. You can always make a backup if you dont like it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] miguelito18:
kk, thanks. I'll try and report back.

btw, the settings you posted earlier.. are okay even if I want to play high end games like mortal kombat or asphalt8?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
if powersave causes issue for the gpu, use msm-adreno-tz. Its the next best thing in power saving
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Psych0t1c20:
Ok got it to boot. Did a clean flash again, flashed your kernel, rebooted. Still having the really slow bootanimation though. Idk why.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
It boots with conservative. Id have to look into having it boot with a governor that ramps up a little faster
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DreamFX:
Weird. Mine defaulted to zzmoove for some reason on newest build. Really smooth no matter what governor I use. Thanks so much for your kernel!

No boot lag or anything. Boots up pretty instant on cyanide rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
Its not weird. My zip uses the ramdisk of whatever you have. So if the ramdisk for Bliss is set to zzmoove. Then thats what itll be. I have not touched the kernel shaun is using now
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
Im experimenting with kernel mode for power suspend. Well see what happens
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
Version 1.2 is up. Minor stuff. Im not going to be doing anything else today cause I dont want to plug in my phone. I want to see the battery stats I can get
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wase4711:
using your settings on version 1.1 last night, I lost 13% of battery in 8 hours...not the best, but not bad

will flash 1.2 today and see how that is
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
I promise I will keep trying everything I can to squeeze the battery to the max.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] khw1959:
Should have proof read my post. The governor change did NOT cause the problems to recur. And I did not like the Resound either. This N6 has been the most fun.

After a a few hours I have 1 reboot with the Handsent app using SwiftKey. SwiftKey ran fine when used everywhere else and the keyboard is more responsive than prior 3 kernels. I intend to test more along the lines that Handsent may not like the GPU governor. Nothing in testing indicates a kernel issue. I will be looking at the application now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apophis9283:
I believe in having as many options as I can possibly fit in the kernel. After doing some testing and what not there are things that needed fixed. Some things modified or taken out. More so than options, stability and battery life are more important.
