Thoughts on 5.1 update for 2013 moto x - Moto X General

Talk about a hyped up long awaited update.
I got so tired of waiting that I dumped my x and upgraded phones. Threw the moto in the drawer and forgot about it. As soon as I saw 5.1 was coming I dusted it off. Returned it to stock and took 3 updates that finally landed me on the long awaited lollipop.
Man am I ever disappointed. I have already had three freezes and a reboot. The UI now looks like it was designed for a ten year old. Notifications won't clear. What used to be assist is now lumped into "moto" and doesn't always work. I hate to say it, but I'm going to toss this old moto x back in the drawer. I will however follow this thread from an HTC m8. I know, I know. Not much better but at least it doesn't look like a ten year old designed it.

HTC M8 ... designed by a rapey old uncle ...
That's better?

Maybe you're doing it wrong.

Why don't you try CyanogenMod 12.1? Its great

anybody still here? :P

Hey guys, just wanted to know... I made a few little modifications to the ticker in my spare time, like making the AM/PM stand on its own, so that you can make it smaller (which I did), and I even made an option in settings to remove the Am/Pm completely... Text also comes up when you hold the weather icon too now...

So is the newest mod a standalone or patched onto your everything mod?
Well I was never really here, but my wife is using this phone now on EC09, and I am seriously considering an upgrade to a galaxy s3.
I was planning on giving her my Dinc, but she really only complains about battery life on this phone, and battery life isn't going to get any better with the dinc lol.

I just came from a Galaxy S4 and moving to Moto X was the best decision I ever did. It certainly deserve to be on top!
Moto X has a much better battery life, it doesn't lag AT ALL, active notifications, voice recognition, almost no bloatware (google apps don't count).

Moto X arrived today!

After 8 days of waiting here in Singapore, it finally arrives! I've been using the G Flex for a few weeks now and I have to say the moto x unique features blows me off! Though the specs isn't that high end as the Flex (s800) it works pretty well with very little lags here and there. Got the developer edition for myself. Will do more testing with the device, good job Motorola!

The m8 gpe and sense use different kernels... For example you can't use the gpe elemental kernel on a sense ROM. Also when faux was developing his kernel for the m8.. The sense kernel worked with WiFi and gpe had WiFi issues that to my knowledge have yet to be solved.
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Franco develops kernels for the nexus range. I have used them in the past.
Being Nexus kernels they are for GPE Only. He won't develop outside of that.
BTW.. the 300 requests have been exceeded.
Yes! I ran Franco kernels on my galaxy nexus. Top notch stuff

M8 ordered. You win.
W00T! I used Franco's kernel on my VZW Gnex up until two weeks ago when I got my M8. That kernel absolutely made the thing fly for a two year old phone. Plus I have his paid app so I got auto updates and access to all the tweaks in one simple format.
Of course.. and I'm here on Verizon...

Same here. If it's GPE only then I'll have to use a GPE ROM.

I'm really happy with ARHD 5.5 right now with Elemental kernel. If it's possible to use Franco with a sense ROM then I would give him a few weeks to iron out any bugs and then flash. But if not, I won't be too upset because I've got a pretty good thing going already.
Franco just released the first boot image for GPE users on google+!
Go grab it and make sure to leave constructive feedback!
