[Nexus 5X General] blinkin:
Coming from MX 2014 Pure (Germany):

- hated delayed Lollipop update (we got it 2 months after the USA)

- battery was subpar

- camera was **** especially in low light conditions

+ cool moto features but almost all of them are now incorporated into M

+ size was perfect

+ moto maker

The smoothness of 5X is much better than on MX 2014 PE. Battery is holding much longer.

I was considering MX2015 but:

- no fingerprint scanner (motorola got screwed in 2014 by apple buying that fingerprint company but for the 2015 models there is no excuse not to have it!)

- too big

- unlocking voids warranty (at least in 2014 model I could flash custom rom and here I don't want to wait for the "official" M update because it will most probably come much later)
[Nexus 5X General] rydare:
I was considering a Motorola phone and even recommended the Moto G to people who asked, but with the acquisition by Lenovo and the abandonment of the Moto E after promising updates, I can no longer consider or recommend Motorola phones. I am pretty sure it will only get worse as time goes on and Motorola becomes even less Google and more Lenovo. I heard they were laying tons of people off.

Plus being able to unlock and relock the bootloader on the Nexus 5X and still having warranty pushed me over the edge. Also guaranteed updates for two years, and a great developer scene is likely.
[Nexus 5X General] _jordan_:
Moto x is a phablet just like the nexus 6. I didn't want a phablet so I didn't consider the moto x.

[Nexus 5X General] Nidstang:
Agree 100%. My last two phones were Motos, and they would have been my first choice for a new one, but I was suspicious after the sale to Lenovo and the recent debacle around their updates sealed the deal for me. To my knowledge Moto still has not articulated a firm policy regarding software updates and security patches going forward (it's possible I missed something, though, since I stopped paying attention once I pre-ordered the 5X).

The Moto E situation was particularly egregious. I know that if you read the fine print they probably complied with the letter of their advertising but the fact is that they tried to sell people on the idea of being the OEM to go to for updates and they completely violated the spirit (perhaps not the letter) of that advertising by providing only one incremental update and then dropping it.
[Nexus 5X General] P.Fan:
Moto X Style definitely has a better screen than the 5X, also the video was a lot more stabilized than the 5X. Moto X Style has 2 front facing, loud, clear speaker, where the 5X only has one
[Nexus 5X General] DroidsOnRoids:
How am I biased when I bought the Motorola first?

The Motorola had it goods, but the bad outweighed it.
[Nexus 5X General] gerg004:
I was sooo close to ordering the MXPE. I literally had my customized, Moto Maker'd device in the cart ready to check out when i started looking more into the 5x. Which from spec release until about 2 weeks ago I'd written off as my next device.

Then I spent some time researching and reading and researching, finally deciding on the 5x. Couldn't be happier. I've never had the MXP in my hands, but I'm in love with my Nexus, and the eventual development will be the cherry on top.

The size and weight of this thing is near perfect. The screen and speaker and sound on earbuds are nowhere near as bad as some may have made it seem.

I literally have 3 gripes about this phone. One major and 2 minor that aren't that big of a deal and I am already over.

1. No SD card. Pretty obvious.

2. 3.5mm jack is on the bottom. No big deal.

3. Bezels take up too much screen space, especially on the sides.

Honestly 2 and 3 never crossed my mind as a deal breaker. And no SD card I can live with, just need to steam my music instead of store it.

Sorry for the long rant, I just wanted to share I was on the fence between these two phones and couldn't be happier that I chose the Nexus.
[Nexus 5X General] axemred:
The biggest reason is phone size. I wasn't interested in a large phone.

A second reason is that I don't really trust Moto anymore after my experience with a carrier Moto X 2014. Their builds were buggy and their update frequency and availability tapers off quickly over time.
[Nexus 5X General] Endoran:
This. Plus the fingerprint scanner.
[Nexus 5X General] Jayliya:
dev phone

Nexus device provides pure android experience.
[Nexus 5X General] aysiu:
The Moto X 2013 is an amazing phone. It came with the innovations of the twist-to-launch-camera, "OK Google Now," and active notifications. It was also just the right size. The camera on it is awful, though, so I was due for an upgrade.

I considered the Moto X Pure because of microSD expansion and the front-facing stereo speakers.

I opted for the Nexus 5x for the fingerprint scanner, the better camera, the timely OTA updates, the possibility of Project Fi (haven't signed up yet, though), and the smaller size.
[Nexus 5X General] propov:
Now have Z5 from couple of days.But seriosly looking for N5X. Z5 is super phone,with 99% super camera , 100% no lags and very very good battery.New SONYs is very close to pure Android with no preinstaled apps(only 2 or 3). But its very uncofortable for me with this rectangular body. Im afreid that it can cut trough my pants pocket. Sounds like joke, but for me this is real problem.

I had N5 and love it because its very elegant soft back finsh , good grip, perfect ergonomic body forms. I dislike the camera and battery perrformance. But now in N5x this things is improved and for me it seems like a best device on the market now.
[Nexus 5X General] elecday:
I am also ready to buy a new smartphone,but had not decide to buy which one.
[Nexus 5X General] nickhell:
I also come from XT1092 RETDEALL

I Have hated this phone since day one.

Bugs everywhere (not all of them moto's guilty but they took months to update and fix some and some persisted, till I installed CM at least).

***** cameras, lag in front camera and focus video problems on the main camera untill they finally fixed it, not the lag though (got last christmas gift openings all blurred out)

They said PE where considered developer ED but only the US version (and took months to clarify)

Amoled burn marks in less than a year.

Always with battery exhaustion anxiety.

I promised myself not to buy any moto product anymore. And just hope you are right with the smoothness and battery life. Waiting for it to come home this week.

The only things im going to miss are the waves and twists to perform actions.
[Nexus 5X General] tim k:
I'll echo some of the comments here.

Being on a VZW unlimited plan with corp discounts has me stuck to VZW. I was dealing with a 2014 Moto X until I couldn't take it anymore. No VoLTE, No Marshmallow, Battery dying at 15% left. And no response from Motorola. I too have lost faith in Moto and no longer trust them. Nexus it was. Plus, I refuse to buy a ginormous phone. 5.2" is the absolute max and I have huge hands. I just don't want a phone that big. I miss some Moto features but I'll live with the loss of that and the gains a Nexus brings. Especially the fingerprint scanner.
[Nexus 5X General] Rektifying:
This is a good thread for me, kinda.

Here I sit. What is right in front of me as I type this? A Brand New Cloud White Nexus 6, and a Brand New Carbon Black Nexus 5X. One of them has to go. This is very hard for me!!!!

I will sum up a long story and comparison and keep it short and sweet. I have to decide between a beasty media device with a huge display and dual stereo speakers OR a more functional device with a better camera and a fingerprint sensor.

The display's are the only thing that are making this so hard. The colors / blacks are better on the 6, but the whites / grays are better on the 5X. I just need to decide if a "better" display and dual stereo speakers is worth sacrificing form factor, finger print sensor, and a better camera. Every time I lean more to the 5X I turn on the Nexus 6 display and the debate starts all over. lol. Talk about first world problems...

I have seen the posts / reviews where the 5X can have a yellows display, where the whites are yellowish. That is definitely not a problem here, my 5X whites are WHITE. They are whiter than the whites on the Nexus 6, which have a very small creamy tint to them. This definitely is no early model though. I just got it today and it came with MDB08L stock. Not sure if that matters or not.

Anyways, anyone want to help me make up my mind for me? lol

[Sprint LG G4] pstoric:
I think it was after the most recent update that I noticed the signal dropping completely and coming back often which I didn't notice before. Not a huge deal because it comes back so quickly but in NYC there should be a pretty solid signal everywhere above ground. Anyone else notice this and anything I can do? Updating the PRL does not fix it.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
Hello community,

I was given the device last year and had been fairly satisfied with the performance of it. However, it has gotten laggy over the past couple weeks and a friend suggested to root and flash a rom on it. So, without any prior knowledge, I have been doing some research and browsing through the threads on this forum. I can see that there are guides but was very unsure if the methods would still work because I have noticed that most of them were last updated/edit a while ago. I know I shouldn't use the word 'latest' for doing this to a tablet that is fairly old in the market. However, it would be very helpful if someone can point me to some 'proven to work' or 'trust-worthy' guides of rooting, flashing recovery, and rom.

Also, just out of curiosity, please recommend which recovery and rom a first-timer should use if possible :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zte blade l:
try these roms.

hello ,

these are the things you need to do before flashing a ROM.

note: -the following things may void your warranty.

-do this on your own risk.

1. HOW TO ROOT

-First install kingo root on your windows PC. Then check USB debugging .

( settings. < about device < touch build number 7times < go back and select developer options < check USB debugging.)

-Open kingo root on the PC and connect your device and connect your device to the PC. Start root and do not remove the USB cable until it says finish.

-Now you have successfully rooted your device.

2.HOW TO INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY

- Go to the following link and download CLOCK WORK MOD(CWM)

LINK: https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

Select your device and install the recovery.

go into the app and install recovery .

3.BACK UP

download rom manager from playstore and do a backup( do a backup using this ap only if you are using CWM recovery.

link for ROM manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...mmanager&hl=en

Now the first thing you need to do is download this rom.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934533333

(note: you can flash the rom of p5110 for p5113)

now to flash the rom follow the following steps.

1. Go to recovery mode

2. (have the rom in your sd card)flash it there .

use this link to know how to flash a rom.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJfPwWjnWGY

now you can reboot after flashing.

to get inbuilt google apps and play store you need to install something called GAPPS (Google apps) download from this link.

http://opengapps.org/?api=5.1&variant=nano

now you flash this zip the same way you flashed the rom.

any problems plz notoce me.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
I was looking in the forum and someone said that I would also need to unlock the bootloader? If so, how do I do that?

Also, is there a difference between kingroot and towelroot? I saw a post in the forum here saying towelroot is fast and easy to root the tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zte blade l:
Not much difference.

Actually there is not much difference between kings root and towel root....towel root doesn't need a PC...but I have never used it so I can't assure you that it is safe.

And coming to the boot loader I don't know much about it but I didn't do anything like that before flashing a rom or rooting my tab2....

If you want further assistance about the boot loader I can help you with that..
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zte blade l:
it is not necessary to unloack bootloader for tab 2 as it comes with a unlocked bootloader from stock.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
Hey, it's been a while. Honestly speaking, when I first posted this thread, I didn't really have enough time to do the things so now I am finally back and trying to do it. So far, I know what recovery and rom I'm going to use with all the files downloaded and ready. Though, currently, I am still at the pre-root stage. I have read up things about kingoroot and not sure if I wanted to use it. So I looked around on the forum and wonder if Odin is still a working solution. Reading on the steps and guides, I was wondering if I need to have Kies installed?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zte blade l:
Kies is not needed as it never helped.

You can depend on odin it is your only saviour when you are in trouble.

I think rooting with kingroot is easy as it is just connecting to your PC and cick the start button.

So just notice me when your ready.

And there is also one good news...?

Tab 2 has got marshmallow.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
I have rooted the tablet. I did it with odin and twrp with flashing the updatedSuperSU zip folder.

I have tried flashing the CM12.1 rom yesterday but resulted in a boot loop. So for now, I'm just rooted and on stock rom until I or someone can find out what was the problem. I have read about the discussion with marshmallow but it seems to me that the project isn't really stable yet. From what I have researched lately, can I assume there's issue with the p51xx line of tablets? Because I saw many people having problems with p51xx and most people with the other tablets aren't having any.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billysam:
You first must update your tab to jelly bean bootloader, before trying out newer roms.

Or perhaps flash stock jb firmware with odin

Whatever you choose, both is ok.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2642005

Read here

The first thing you do, is take a nandroid backup, it's very important at every step, unless you are really ready to risk. It's better to have it.

Next Read through the rom threads, clear your mind and your tab too. You must format data.

Stay on twrp 2.8.7.2. Don't go to the latest one yet.

Flash rom, wait, it will boot up.

Every tab behave differently with every rom, sure you are going to face soft reboots, on some roms it will be a lot, on some it will be less. I would suggest you try both LP and kk first.

Remember, it's better to keep this tab updated than to stay on stock. This tab 2 series has a emmc bug and staying on stock or jumping back is a risk too. I have been on kk and lp. They both have kept this tab running great and away from that bug.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
Do I have to unroot first? Do you have a link to making a nandroid backup?

Edit: Oh, I looked at the link you included and it said that if I am on stock jb (4.2.2), I can skip the update bootloader part..
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] champ1919:
When you flashed the new rom, did you do a factory reset (wipe data)?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billysam:
Yes, that's what I meant too, if you're on jb already, you are fine. You don't have to unroot. For making a nandroid backup, use twrp recovery, there is an option for backup, select and backup all from there, if you get into bootloop or any other problem, as long as you can get back to recovery, you can restore from there. Most rom comes pre rooted.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zte blade l:
Did you clear dalvik cache in recovery before flashing rom?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
Yes, I cleared the top four options in recovery, and formatted data before flashing.

That's what I did. Let me just briefly summarize what I have done:

used odin with twrp

booted into recovery and made back up

cleared dalvik, cache, system, and data, formatted data

flashed update supersu, booted into system and checked root with root checker

rebooted into recovery, cleared dalvik, cache, system, and data, formatted data again

flashed cm12.1 and gapps, rebooted but ran into bootloop at splash screen

rebooted into recovery and restored back up

So I'm rooted and on stock 4.2.2 currently.

I did.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasengan82:
Updated the SDK to the latest and noticed fastboot oem unlock does not exist anymore. It is fastboot flashing unlock now. I've also noticed fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability that's supposed show whether the bootloader is locked or not. This command makes the nexus 6 freeze for 30 secs to 1 minute. During this time, no other fastboot command works. Can somebody try this command and verify that it does not work? You will need the latest SDK.

It's was all just an illusion
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasengan82:
I assumed the bootloader got updated in M so in theory it should understand the new fastboot commands lol.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Yes, there are significant changes in the bootloader to go along with changes to the security model. In particular, when you change contents on the system partition leaving dm-verity enabled, it reboots to bootloader with a "verity failed" flag in order to give that big red warning screen.

Please see here for details:

http://source.android.com/devices/tech/security/verifiedboot/verified-boot.html

Note that Nexus 6 is a "Class A" implementation, since CTS requires that devices that originally shipped withOUT verified boot enabled on an older Android version, do NOT implement boot partition validation (although this validation is available on Nexus 6 for developer use).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] metafizik:
I've had AOKP & TWRP installed for nearly 3 years. The phone started rebooting occasionally when I would go to manage apps and kill an app. It finally got hosed really good on the last reboot and it got stuck in a TWRP boot loop. I was able to use odin to reflash TWRP and after the initial flash I could get into TWRP recovery. Unfortunately I don't have any of the necessary image files on the sdcard. I then tried to flash a converted AOKP zip (now a tar converted with toolkit). I am not able to get either the toolkit or adb detect the device although I am able to flash with odin. I flashed the AOKP tar image with odin but now when it boot it stays on the Galaxy Note 2 screen and goes no further.

Now I can only get in download mode and since odin seems to be the only thing that is working for me my question is can I use it to flash AOKP and GAPPS (both of which I have on computer)? If so, what format does the AOKP file need to be? img, tar or what? Also can I convert the gapps zip file to a tar and use odin to flash it?

Much thanks in advance. I plan to purchase a new device soon but would like to get this working again as a backup.

Regards, ~metafizik
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Use a stock/rooted .tar image to restore the device partition structure.

It contains the PIT for remapping...

Once a stock rooted rom is flashed and running...flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 via Odin...

Then create a nandroid backup to SD CARD..

You can then flash AOKP and GAPPS as .zip files...in TWRP

It's a bit more work....but you'll have a clean backup and a way back if trouble hits...along with fresh partitions...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
I recommend flashing back to stock, get the phone set up using stock, install TWRP, take a nandroid backup, and then flash a custom ROM.
