Android P - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Do you guys think Android 9.0 is going to come to the moto g4 plus
Sent from my Moto G4 Plus using Tapatalk

No.

Not officially.

Motorola's policy appears to be one major OS update for its Moto G devices and supporting security updates. We've already had Nougat, and due to the advertising around the G4 Plus, are getting Oreo at some point as a resolution. Thus, we will likely not get Android P, you'd have to rely on custom ROM developers for that.

Pacient for a custom ROM, be really pacient......

We'll probably get every Android version up until "Z" ?

Stop conversation of Android-P,
I think, the OP only wanted to post in development section and that's why he made few unwanted posts in Q&A section.
I would request OP to ask Moderators to close this thread.
Because we all know we are not going to get P (even G4 is not going to get O), so this talk here doesn't mean anything.
If for custom ROMs, At least let Google officially announce P, then we will talk about P.

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.
We can still hope.

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!
I dont think falcon will get it.

It seems that it will keep its outstanding status for quite some time as the entire Moto G series, including the 2013 releases, is reported eligible for an Android 6.0 Marshmallow update.

it this speech even come from Moto IT speak-person?
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!

Is anyone slightly annoyed about the current cyanogen situation?

Here we are with our Moto X Style/Pure Edition way after it has been released. We have been given no confirmation by cyanogen that it will ever officialy support our phones. Their is a semi-working version of cyanogen if you build it yourself... What a chicks me is that the Moto e and g 2015 both run cyanogen 13 (albeit unofficial) and officially support cyanogen 12.1 so I'm just kinda curious if anyone else is slightly annoyed?
No, it'll be here when its ready.
I'm happy enough using Xposed.
AICP is pretty sweet.
Here's a good way to stop development dead in its tracks...

Yeah, AICP is CM based so it has all CM features.
In addition, CM will be officially supported for this device when all the tiny bugs we have left are fixed. (Mainly the Sprint bugs)
Take your time Hash. I'd rather it take longer and be right than quick and super buggy.

No, it doesn't slightly annoy me. But you making a thread like this may slightly annoy those who are in the process of developing an official CM build. Want one quicker? Learn Java, Android development, and help them out!

If you want a job doing, do it yourself. Otherwise, buy a phone that is already supported, or sit tight and wait in the hope that it will get CM (quite likely it will arrive sooner or later).

Just another noob. Gots to get his post count up. I really suggest you rethink your current position. Only 3 posts and this is what you come up with. WTF is wrong with people like you. Why must there always be that one post that pisses me off and I am not a Dev. I support what there doing with donations when I can. I suggest you do the same, then sit back and watch the magic happen. Patience is a virtue. Thanks devs for all your hard work the majority of us appreciate it.
To answer your question, no. Not even slightly annoyed...
The only thing annoying is the OP's impatience. How completely ungrateful.
And .... 3,2,1 closed.
Going nowhere, fast.

Will Moto X style/pure get Android N update?

I do hardly believe that Moto X style/pure might get N but there is no official news about it...
I tweeted Moto_Us and Moto_India but got same reply that
"We currently have no info.. For more info kindly stay updated"
Even Moto/Lenovo didnt make any announcement..
Whats going on?
Anyone has ideas what the truth is??

Voted no only because I'm doubtful we'll get it officially, but as the other people have said... custom roms bro.
I think it will get 7.0 by the end of the year. It got 6.0 pretty fast, and is still pretty much the flagship of Motorola. People just lost hope because of the ignored 6.0.1 update. I'm hoping to switch back to a Nexus anyway so I don't have to worry about updates anymore.

Being one of the few devices on official android site I think means we're getting 7.0 pretty soon

That site has been mentioned before... It has nothing to do with Nougat, just Android in general. The fact it appears there is not relevant.

But is it still a flagship with the new Moto Z's coming out? Way things have gone with Lenovo I'd not put money on it BUT never say never.
Well, if they abandon any real support for this phone in one year, I won't be coming back to Lenovo/Motorola. I'll just have to decide if expandable memory is still a deal maker/breaker with the next gen and go Nexus or something else.

Agreed!
Android 7 will be there!!!
With X-Style there aren't any technical/hardware issue or even a minor reason for not supporting the Android 7. So with this the liability of providing or not providing Android 7 will be with Motorola (Lenovo). Providing with Latest Android version being a USP of Moto phones, there is very chance that they will not risk reputation with this phone by excluding the update.
In-case this is not done for some reason then my steps would be:
1) Root and install Android 7 rom.
2) Buy a new Nexus phone.
3) Collect Invoice of all my Moto phone (Namely: Moto G (8gb), Moto G (16gb), Moto E (4gb), Moto G3, Moto G Turbo, Moto X Style).
4) Submit the collected Invoice plus the nexus invoice to Motorola with update as why they lost a loyal customer.
*Infact I was planing this for the delayed patch, and made my disappointment by tweeting the same to motorola. Were they assured me of early notification of update.*
[rant] motorola sucks/how to kill a perfectly good device
Motorola/Lenovo service has been horrible both in replacing defective hardware and with software updates even though they committed to timely release! They will probably at some point release Nougat on this device but really how long will it take (see where we are with MM updates!!) ? And as far as custom roms are concerned we're seeing so little developper activity for this device that I think everyone has already moved on! This was my first non-Nexus device in a long while and I'm not eager to duplicate the experience. It's really too bad as I really liked the Moto X pure. :crying:
Ffs these threads need to stop. Yes the Moto x pure 2015 will get 7. IT WILL TAKE TIME release of n is rolling out give it a few months

The ZTE Axon 7 looks a lot like the X Pure, except with software support. They announced that they will be assisting Cyanogenmod.

Android p moto g5plus

will it ever come out to rom Android p moto g5plus?:cyclops:
of course a P rom will come, but when it is fully released and developers think it is stable for initial testing.. no ETA's of course
When the source is released or someone manages to port it to the Moto G5 plus like they did with the Moto Z (which is unlikely) or Motorola updates it to android p(much more unlikely)

I do not use stock, I always liked rom, it was about it.
All the roms present here not only keep the stock-like feeling on android, but also improve upon them by introducing new features that improve the android experience . I have no doubt that android p roms will bring some great improvements for our phones . I can't wait!!:laugh::fingers-crossed:
more likey alcatel will have P first ha its just a rip off, of samsung touchwiz

When are we getting oreo?

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.

Oh really? Got a verifiable link to that information? If not, don't post about it here...
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....
