My experience and expectations regarding Moto X:
I've been using Moto X for a while now and I can generally say that I’m satisfied with the purchase. I have ATT model X1058, sim unlocked and unrooted. The phone perfectly suits my needs for business and everyday use. I’m not much of a gamer, I don’t use and neither have installed any game though. What I have installed or enabled and it is really very important to me, is: tethering, VPN, offline navigation, voice commands, personal certificate for access to the bank and other protected sites and voip for international calling. Everything works like a charm, expectedly sip functionality was removed from the system and I use Csipsimple for that purpose.
What disturbing me regarding this phone is locked bootloader and pretty much bloatware (mostly from ATT side, some junk from Motorola). I’m planning to root the phone as soon as the procedure become stable and remove all that crap.
I don’t expect that with the locked bootloader I’ll have chance to install a custom rom anytime soon. In fact I don’t really need it, what I really miss are minor changes. What annoying me is a massive bright white color among screens and apps. Starting with really ugly bootanimation (the winter one is nicer but still pretty white), continuing with cumbersome bright dialer following with Chrome, emails etc, everything flash bright light into your face whenever you grab the phone. It’s not only annoying, it destroys the main purpose of the beautiful amoled screen and drains your battery for no good. Anyway, I expected more from the battery regarding its capacity and special structure of the Motorola computing system.
Seeking the solution I ran to the GravityBox (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2556400), which appears to be really nice and functional. But then, unfortunatelly it doesn't support ART, which is my runtime option for one week now and it really makes the system fast and besides I haven't experienced any issues with it yet.
I don't really need everything from Gravitybox, although it has some useful features, what I need is a plain dark Moto x, which fit the Amoled screen the best and sucks the battery less. The only application I manage to replace on my unrooted phone with the dark one is stock sms with 8sms.
So I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688896). Since I'm not a developer, I would be grateful if someone who is familiar with the subject take a close look and advice me if:
replacing the framework-res.apk with Moto's if the latest is rooted enables dark experience on Moto x?
if so, does this theme has influence only on the background or on installed apps (at least the system ones –dialer, email…) as well?
Paint the Moto x black, get the most of the Amoled screen and the battery!
your post is soooooooooo confusing, stopped reading on the 4th line.
cheers :3

So I'll resume it... He wants ART and dark holo background to work together, but GravityBox doesn't support ART, as probably all xposed modules.
I'm not a dev either, so I can't help... But I'm also interested on the answer...
Is it possible to make Xposed Framework / Modules compatible with ART?

I apologize if I haven't made myself clear enough. But that is exactly what i want to said. Besides I wished someone to check whether is it possible to have the holo dark on Moto x if you flash the attached zip and replace contained framework-res.apk with one from Moto x. Just in case that ART wouldn't work with the GravityBox .

Whatever you do, don't just replace the framework-res.apk with another one. It has to be for the same phone--or else you'll have some serious issues.
However, it sounds like you don't have a problem with the MotoX--but instead, KitKat. In which case, this isn't the place for this.

Android patches into Lucky Patcher helps to replace even framework-res.apk without signatures issue
P.S. Looking for Holo Dark atleast just Mms.apk too
It's the 4.4.2 upgrade. Ever since it went on the phone I have to keep location services off or Android OS will eat my battery.
I wouldn't be worrying about this if there was an active CM dev effort for this phone, but it really looks like this phone is (already!) being dropped. Nobody's worked on the X8 unified build in a month. Starting to think this phone was a mistake.
I remember reading some of the blogs looking for a flagship phone with a mid-size screen. All the "mini" versions are dual core 1.7GHz systems. It's not that nobody would build a midsize with a hot quadcore, it's just that you can't fit enough battery for a hot quad behind a medium display. And by the time I went through all the available dual-core phones (at Verizon, anyway), really nothing comes close to the Moto X.
But I think this could be a dead end. The last three days or so I've been reading how Google's wrapping up 4.4.3, and it looks like these battery leaks are one of their priorities. But without CM, I wonder how long it will take to get that build through VZW and the other carriers.
Cm and what not aren't too popular, as you lose all those nice moto features.
And flip through this thread a bit and you'll see a lot of battery issues solved or worked around.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418077
But yes...depending what else is on your phone and accessing location services....location services can be a battery drain. Toggle when needed is usually my advice. But....there's ways to get it under control. Check out the thread I linked. Massive amounts of good info in there.

CM nightlys here http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960dt. I flashed one a couple builds back just check it out, I'm on Verizon (xt1060) unlocked with china code. Flashed back to stock just for moto features but all seemed well on CM. Didn't use it long enough to test battery. I believe they've unified the builds to work with all variants.

Yeah, the nightlies are generated automatically, and I imagine they include incremental CM changes. But like I said, it's been about a month since the last device-specific check-in, and the feedback I'm hearing is that the speaker phone is broken ever since then.
If you use the snapdragon battery guru app it helps soooo much I get 24 hours of battery daily . Make sure you turn your screen brightness down as much as possible also . Try OSE it was amazing on my atrix HD you can find the builds at Dr.devs website .

I found the BBC Weather was keeping my phone awake all the time. Only worked that out after a factory reset. I'd suggest giving your phone a wipe, it's not ideal at all but it sorted mine out. I reckon the 4.4.2 update has screwed up location somewhow.
Go to play store.
Check all your installed apps and uninstall any that have not been updated since kit kat release.
Restart phone
Worked for me, working for others, should work for you.
Moto X developer edition
They stopped working on individual devices, And are now doing Unified builds. MSM8960dt works on all Moto X phones, and I believe RAZR MAXX phones as well.Why do the same thing 8 times when it can be done once? Try PAC ROM. 8960DT, use it all day, and battery rarely dips below 60%.

I don't think that is what the poster above meant when he was talking about device specific builds.
By that he meant Moto X specific and not all individual moto x models.
Current nightless are adding new stuff that is getting added to all cm builds. But not fixing any known issues with our phone like the speaker phone issue. To fix that, some developer will have to work on Moto X specific code which will probably work on all Moto X models.
This is the main reason I am not running cm. ( That and active notifications. But I can live without active notifications if all basic functions are working properly including speakerphone and camera) . love the performance, but I need to use speakerphone a lot when speaking and working on my computer at the same time or when my hands are dirty.
From my Moto X, in your face!
I'm just about to buy a new flagship,of course my options are the G5 S7 and HTC10, each has its specific advantages, I like G5 features as modularity dual cameras IR blaster, I'm not concerned on metal glass finish since I put my phone always in some dumb-proof case coz I use to drop or put it where shouldn't be, that criteria its why looks like g5 s7 an htc10 are almost in a tie, few differentiator are htc10 front camera with ois and integrated dac cleanable Android, s7 wireless charging and small size, Knox .
I don't care on dac, slightly better camera or wireless charging are things I can live without .
But repairability , its something I really appreciate since I'm not strange on requiring to switch screens batteries or plugs even full body exchange, here the G5 shines also the IR blaster its useful for me coz I use to miss the remotes .
So I almost decided to go on an G5. But.....
Something I don't consider trivial its bloatware, while companies as ASUS allow full uninstall of 3rd party apps and most Asus apps while keeps few forks on stock Android apps , htc10 also seems its much better providing if one want so the closest to stick nexus-like experience , that's really great .
But this usually can be achieved on other phones thru little tricks, I want to know how much bloat left on the LG G5 after basic uninstall/cleanup , and what you can do on the rest (uninstall via root tools , frozen ir just replace with apps like Nova Launcher ).
What the state of the bloat nation on the G5?
Thanks in advance.
I just got myself a G5. I was worried about bloatware too but now looking at it, its really not that bad. There are about 3 useless apps (that I used Nova launcher to hide) but some of the apps are actually really cool. For example you can't uninstall a certain app called the quickremote, but upon further inspection it was LG's app for utilizing the IR sensor. It has so many codes at your disposal. Super useful. I'm not really the type who takes pictures on my phone either but the great cameras have actually tempted me to quite a few times now. The modules I haven't really got into and the battery life is actually pretty good. I recommend this phone.
I was pretty much exclusively a Nexus user (N1, N4, N5, N6) and the only reason I didn't get the 6P was because they weren't selling it through T-Mobile so I couldn't directly upgrade to it... so I feel your anxiety regarding the bloatware on other phones. It's a primary reason I don't see myself ever buying a Samsung phone!
That said, the situation on the G5 isn't that bad. The vast majority of the pre-installed stuff is actually able to just be deleted! There's a few that can't (like the Amazon app), but they don't intrude in the way things like the Lookout (I think it's called) app does. But even then, you CAN uninstall that one.
If you're worried about the bloat, you shouldn't. My issues more lie in the ways they tweaked the way Android behaves- like, when I swipe down on the notification bar, it drops all the way down to the quick settings, and you have to push it BACK UP to get to the rest of your notifications. Also: if you're on WiFi Calling, there's an omnipresent notification that can't be swiped away. Or, the Smart Home settings- I'd like for, when I'm not at home, for it to turn the WiFi off. It does this, but it sends a notification letting you know that it did. That's something that should just be invisible, but instead the thing wants to brag about it.
Anyway, I hope this was helpful. I'm really digging this phone despite it's quirks, and the bloat was only annoying in the first 10-15 minutes after starting the phone for the first time. Once I weeded it out, it's like it was never there.

My AT&T LG G5 is full of bloatware. It will not let me remove it either. At least I haven't found a way to remove it. My LG G2 which I had root, was great once I cleaned up all the bloat. But this G5 has been very disappointing because of the impact of all the bloat. There is easily 6 or more programs wasting battery and cpu, but I can't get rid of them and AT&T continues to update them., making them even bigger hogs. Doesn't look like they will ever root it (H-820) either. Could be a very nice phone but the bloat ruined it for me.

I just got a Moto G4 Plus after being a Samsung user (GS3 and GS5) for several years. So far it's a great phone, particularly for the price. One simple question that, for the life of me, I've been unable to find out is how often the weather is updated on the standard Time and Weather Widget. On the Samsung ones (also powered by Accuweather), it was configurable to as frequent as an hour. I can't seem to find how often it's updated or if there's a way to set the frequency. Thanks. (Apologies in advance if the answer is obvious.)

Are you sure that is stock Android on your K8?
There is not any root method at least not here, only for 2016 model, I doubt it will work with 2017, it will probably harm device.
However it can be possible that phone is lagging it's not flagship but it's not weak device my 2016 K8 works very well. Would you mind to explain lag and when it happened?

Its not exactly stock android but the design kind of is. My mom is using the k8 2016 and its way faster than my 2017 version. i figured out the lag issue is because android system itself is taking up 800 mb (this is without me installing anything at all. basically after i formatted i checked and it was 800 mb) and the ram is 1.4 gb so only 400 ish mb remains or 500 which makes it really slow. Also sorry for the really fast reply :3 didn't have an internet connection for a while.

I don't think I understand you or you don't understand something. I have 2016. K8 and system is taking up 2.6 GB and I have 1.5 GB of RAM so not ever will all system will go in RAM it's not even possible. Are you talking about 800 mb of RAM is taken by system? 700 MB is fine for apps except ones who need a large chunk of RAM, but even then Android will push out something out of RAM to make place for that app. Check for OTA updates, i still doubt phone is lagging, I mean it is budget phone but still..

To be honest I think something isn't right here. Because that is not how LG phone tiles look like, indeed this look like pure Android without UX on top of it, I don't know if LG started shipping phones with pure Android on them or is something else, would you mind go to settings and take screenshot of software info page?
However on these screenshots you provided it's average use in last x hours(to me there shows that chrome use 2.9 GB which is not possible), to see current go to developer options and to "running services.
It is K8 2017, idk why LG decided using stock-ish UI instead UX4.0/5.0 like K10 2017. It has the same (if not better) spect as 2016 version, and I don't know what causes the lag. Either some junk app/screen overlay app/bad software optimization.
From my experience, 2016 version has performance problem with some screen overlay apps like easy touch, bluelight filter, etc. But even on low ram apps still runs quite smooth.

Yeah I see, I did some digging and in YouTube there is two kinds one with UX and one without it, maybe I'm mistaking maybe both are stock I'm not sure how nougat under UX looks like. However they released k8 2017 and mediatek version runs nougat as I can understand (Russian edition and some other countries) and qcom versions runs nougat. LG never fails to amaze me with their actions, I mean seriously?
Any update in this tread? I've bought k8 2017 just a few hours ago. Besides the lag it also have this pop up ads which i cant get rid of even after removing their free apps.

Wait, so you bought brand new phone and it started to show popup ads, you didn't install any apps? I can't believe what some carriers do to the phones. Wait what stock browser? LG browser? I didn't seen it a long time on LG phones the seems to be moved to chrome. If it isn't new than you should flash stock firmware.

Model number: LG-X240k .I don't think it's the carrier's fault because I bought the phone in an LG store it self. The UI is the same as op. I also notice that Android OS (Android 6.0) takes about 900mb~ of memory without any running apps I have J5 prime with the same os only take about 300-400mb.

Don't look on that, that information is not reliable.
My mom got this phone too, just a couple of days. She asked me to install facebook and messenger app. To be estimated, I finished it for almost two hours. Becuase I need to install shareit and play services as well before shareit will work. Damn phone very laggy or may I say very slow. One app took more than 3 to 5 mins to finish. She got LG-X240.

It is K8 2017, idk why LG decided using stock-ish UI instead UX4.0/5.0 like K10 2017. It has the same (if not better) spect as 2016 version, and I don't know what causes the lag. Either some junk app/screen overlay app/bad software optimization.
From my experience, 2016 version has performance problem with some screen overlay apps like easy touch, bluelight filter, etc. But even on low ram apps still runs quite smooth.

Are you sure about that? cuz I have an LG K350Z and it runs overlays app without any problem. I even used bluelight filter on it since last year when I bought it.

Pretty sure, mine is K350K it lags a lot when scrolling on recent menu/multitask manager/whatever you called it is which is painful. Must be some lazy ass rom developer from my country's model. Hell not even any updates since sep-15 2017 (v10d), which is worse btw coz system root cannot be modified. This phone is officially abandoned I believe.

LOL, I even play DriftSpirits and Dirt Rally with mine while using an app called "Dimmer" (I stopped using Bluelight filter because it had ads) and I do have a lower fps while using it, but its nothing terrible.
About updates, I dont update since I installed its day one firmware and rooted it, so I can't tell if mine's still gets updates or not.
My main problem with my k350z is that I can't write or delete anything on my SDcard since I started using link2sd.
since then, I had to use my PC every time I need to manage my files.

Can't you just use adoptable storage instead link2sd? Never had any issue with SD card so far.

You're using Adoptable storage on it? I thought about using it but I thought link2SD would be easier.
Is there any bugs in doing it? I think it might not be a good idea since my 32gb card is a class 4.
would you help me in doing it? I already know how to do it but it is good to have someone that did it near in case I screw my phone up.
