It’s no secret we love Android. That’s why every one of our Moto phones is built on a foundation of pure Android - it’s easier to use, delivers amazing performance and lets you choose how you want to use your phone. So we have more sweet Android news to share...
When a new version of Android is announced, one of the first questions on everyone's mind is "when will my device be getting updated?" Fortunately, Motorola has moved towards complete transparency and providing timely updates over the past couple of years, and with the announcement of Lollipop it is providing details on what Moto owners can expect in the coming weeks.
That the Moto X, G, and E are all getting Lollipop is probably a good sign. Here's what the Official Statement Reveals :
Once Android 5.0 L is officially released, we intend to bring this latest upgrade to many of our other Motorola devices, as well. This includes Moto X (1st and 2nd Gen), Moto G (1st and 2nd Gen), Moto G with 4G LTE, Moto E(yaay !! ), Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx and Droid Mini.
Motorola is fantastic.... it updates even a very much low end Phone i.e Moto E to Lollipop. Cheers Moto !!
Don't Forget to Press THANKS.... It never hurts to click THANKS !!
Happy to hear that. Thanks for the information. Now the question is when do we expect it?

I know Everybody is eager as Android M is just launched. But people going to ask about it still anyhow. So i am opening this thread to DE-clutter other lollipop Threads with the Android M stuff. You can ask anything you want.... All info is really appreciated.....
It will be ported guys. I guarantee it.
That would be great

When i was in HTC community there were lot of ports of ROMs but here in moto g original development is way too good. So we basically don't need ports. It will be great to see how 1 GB roms will going to handle new M
I'm wondering if the Low-Power 'Doze Mode' requires specific hardware, such as low-power cpu cores. If this was the case; the feature would not function on Moto G.

I think that it will be just a new driver for power management. Now let's wait for Motorola confirmation about Moto G and Android M. The rumored launch is in august and august is in the Q3 2015 (July -> September). The bad thing is that Google doesn't upload the developer preview code to AOSP so no costum ROM till release date just ported apps.

Nah, i don't think so, because nexus 6 doesn't have an LP core, so that would be total nonsense from google.

I read its only effective on shelf devices particularly tablets which are left idle for a lot of time
So its benefit on a smartphone is very little

I totally agree with what you have to say lets wait for Motorola to confirm but I really have my doubts if we'll get it, but if somehow the Moto G 2nd gen gets it there is a chance that it could be back ported to our devices

Yes I don't think our device has any chance of getting it but 2nd gen may get it.
And as for the porting someone , may be @lost101 will surely port it to device
And if someone doesn't port, no need to worry as our device is officially supported by CM
At least gpe edition or moto g 4g edition will get it
As gpe is supposed to get updates for 1.5 yes
But it may expand to 2 yes
Don't worry our moto g is immortal
Will get updates every time

Was talking to a support rep on the Motorola website, he said we would get it!
I was amazed that he would already have that information and that they would be giving it out already, so il take it with a pinch of salt, but it sounds good to me at the same time.

Think a jar of salt would be better needed than a pinch .....moto reps are notoriously unreliable for update info .... but we're bound to get a few ports
Here we go again. People pestering support rather than using support for ermm... Support!

at the time of writing this the android police link was offline. But if that has something to take with minimizing the wakelocks feature when the phone kept without use for longer periods, its nothing but they tweaked the activity manager. I discussed that with one developer he said let the source come then he can tell something about it. But he said it is not very big thing.... But who knows what is under the hood..
Nexus has got developer preview of M, my friend told nothing so exciting except some addons. i wonder is our Falcon able to handle M
dudes and dudettes, falcon and peregrine are 2 years old devices, I highly doubt that we get another update. Has been enough for a medium-end device, time to go to CM
To state some facts: (Assumes Android updates are only provided for 2 years)
Moto G (Falcon) went on sale in November 2013 (Update support ends November 2015)
Moto G GPE (Falcon) went on sale January 2014 (Update support ends January 2016)
Moto G 4G (Peregrine) went on sale June 2014 (Update support ends June 2016)
Moto G (Titan) went on sale September 2014 (Update support ends September 2016)
Historically Motorola releases new versions of Android first for Moto X during November, then Moto G, in December. I would not be surprised to see an Android M release for Moto G GPE in Novemeber 2015.
From what I have seen of Android M; I suspect there will be no issue with 'Falcon' hardware being able to run it as fluidly as Lollipop. Also Moto G (2015) (Titan) has identical hardware for the most-part.

According to the blog, it is stated that these upgrades are not set in stone yet, and they may change the list of devices that will get the upgrade.

Since the internals of the Moto G 2014 is very similar to the Moto G 2013, I am hoping that they might roll out 6.0 to our devices also.
Fingers crossed.
I think I'll just wait for the AOSP build from Alberto97.
Same here Buddy @moralesnery
The good news is that Google released the Nexus Android 6.0 images. The bad is that the AOSP isn't updated

some days will pass before wee see the release of the 6.0 code to AOSP.
Bad news, Motorola support page says this about the Moto G (2013)
MOTO G
This device will remain on Android 5.1 (Lollipop)
Do you have the latest Motorola software? Find out.
Shock horror, 2 year old hardware no longer getting updated... Long live custom ROMs.
Having owned a Desire HD and a Sensation which got only one major version upgrade, I'd say the 2013 G had a great run.
Sent from my XT1572 using Tapatalk
It's funny that the 2014 G is exactly the same hardware apart from the camera module and bigger screen (yet same resolution), and is getting the M update.
But yeah, there has to be a cutoff point somewhere even if it's the same product after all. 4.3 -> 4.4.2 -> 4.4.4 -> 5.0.2 -> 5.1, not bad at all! Alberto's AOSP will be excellent as usual.
Oh, well.
We can always count on a great dev to treat us crack-flashers and root junkies with some custom-ROM love.
Thanks XDA DEVs!

Don't believe anything unless you see it published in an Official Motorola account (G+,Twitter, Fb) or a serious tech Blog (or here in the news section).
Dont play with my heart
it is sad it wont get official 6.0 since android one phones will get it, also moto e, moto g 2014, etc
it is not about specs, it it just about age
but yes, compared to samsung, and other motorola did a good job, not perfect
i believe nexus 4 should get it too
Hey there Moto G Users! I'll be doing a custom Rom for the Moto G using Marshmallow and Lollipop... MarshPop is what it's going to be called... It maybe released as soon as I work all the bugs out of it... Expect it in the near future though! Since Marshmallow is basically Lollipop with Added features I maybe able to work all the issues out!
Cheers to all of the Developers! P.S. I've worked on the Transform Ultra from Samsung!
Thanks for Participation in reading!

It's really sad that stupid lenovo will phase out the Motorola brand. What do you think guys?
http://www.androidauthority.com/motorola-is-going-away-says-lenovo-666417/
why sell it google? you were supposed to save Moto not leave it in darkness
It's really shocking ,, although it wldnt have mattered more ,bcoz what's in a name after all but to my and others Moto Fans full disaapointement ,They have clearly said in their statement from 2016 there will not be low to mid devices by Moto , those will be replaced by Lenovo Vibe series ,.
Thats means We are the owners of pretty last G and E series . Lenovo Vibe will be with their crap Lenovo UI ,, yesterday had a chance to play with Lenonvo K3 note ,, what a crap that device is , hangs like anything,15 min use and device start getting warm,and Ui is plain ugly and totally jerking ass even its hardware on par with G . 15 min usage and I started hating that device . It's really foolish if those G and E series will be kiled for Lenovo Vibe ,,
Moto name will be used for premium X series and tht wld be not more than 2 years after that Moto will also go and only Lenonvo will left.
This is transitioning phase ,they want to make it clear that they will replace Moto by Lenovo ,so they taking small steps in that direction ..
So yes Moto is already gone in mid to low and ,for premium X ,2 years max, after seeing all this .
Lenovo u r [email protected]##[email protected]###
Lenovo higher-ups announced that their company, which has owned Motorola since 2014, will be phasing out the brand name.
This doesn’t mean that the Moto line is dead, however. Moto smartphones will still be in production in the coming years, complete with their familiar M-brand symbol. However, these devices will also have Lenovo’s branding and iconography.

Google bought Motorola with a strategy. With the acquisition, Google also got all the patents that Motorola had filed since the beginning. And when they sold Motorola to Lenovo, Google kept the patents and now they license them to Lenovo, and rest manufacturers. Google is smart and cunning

Its not as simple as that,,,There willnot be G and E series anymore ,, Moto will be used for X only "for the time being ". Lenovo earlier said they will handle their mobile division to Motorola ,, months later they are giving Motorola mobile division to their own.
This is corporate transition phase , it will take time but eventually it will be complete. Wait for 1 more year ,u will not see left Moto logo also

Well, look at the Nokia. It must be dead after the agreement with MS, but more and more news point that Nokia will recover, and produce their own trademark phones.
This might happen with Motorola.

keeping Brand Motorola intact and combining lenovo mobile Division under Motorola Brand would be the better Option for Lenovo than killing Motorola

Moto G is Snapdragon 400, quite good for even today standards. The bad thing was the 1GiB RAM on Moto G 2014, that is whats limiting it's potential.

The older devices like MOTO G1 , MOTO G2 , MOTO E1 will soon lose support and development from the Motorola Devs . Then it is us who have to develop and update it to keep it up-to-date.
I've been watching some videos and photos of people getting Oreo on their moto G5 plus, yet I haven't seen any stock Oreo roms
What is happening?
And thanks for reading my not so good English
It is a beta testing of the stock ROM. Only a select few people that have enrolled in the Motorola Feedback Network will get it. The global release will happen in a couple of months. You have to wait.

I didn't think so, because we all know Moto does NOT give specifics about updates... EVER.... they never have and in the official forums they have been very clear that is their policy and they never will give specifics.
We all want it to come out, but making up stuff or spreading unsubstantiated rumors does not help.

As a long time Motorola user I can tell you that all these chat Infos are nonsens.
As @acejavelin said, Motorola never announced anything about update ETA. You will find these " some chat helper said" posts from Falcon over Titan until now and always the answers are useless.
All that these guys are able to do is telling you to do a factory reset. They have no clue when an update arrives, maybe they are told to say something like "within the next weeks" just to calm down the countless users that are asking for it.
These posts are useless even in combination with a screenshot. So don't post rumours that will never be confirmed and don't help anyone.
And don't crosspost these stuff in several threads!

I doubt this would happen, Moto users are not so lucky in the firmware update department!
But if you say so...then "I would give away free sweets riding a royal elephant" like those royal kings.
Coming back to the point..i strongly disagree that moto would give a certain timeline or a date, their culture is different; they believe in uncertainty and chaos.
Moto would make a grand entry with (nectar) Oreo (ahem..32-bit) for their dying devices, like a savior.
Peace out.
Motorola link saying Oreo is available
I found a link saying Oreo is available and I can't post the link because I'm a newbie on this forum. You should be able to find it by searching "MS130856 motorola" on google.
It doesn't seem to be available to my phone. Any idea when the Oreo 8.1 info might have been posted and when it will actually be available on my G5 plus?

Depends on where you come from. Oreo is available in India and Brazil, some users also confirm it's rolled out in Mexico and GB.
Threre are several threads around about it, also some OTA are available also fastboot firmwares.
Just search in this forum and you'll find all informations. For pending regions: Motorola never gave a timeline and most probably never will.
Edit:
Oreo won't make your life better, gives you wealth or makes your love life better. No offense, just kidding....
