[FAQ][ROM] Cyanogenmod 11 for Moto G

[pinguijxy]

Support thread for Cyanogenmod 11 for Moto G

Debug Thread

This thread is meant to be a Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting thread for all the lost souls that encountered trouble that is unrelated to the development of the rom.

Do you have trouble finding which variant is supported?
Are you afraid it will brick your phone?
Are you unsure about the procedure for flashing the rom?

This is the thread to ask your questions and I will try to answer a few of them already in the OP.

General questions on how to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery can be found in @matmutant's thread. This thread is only for Cyanogenmod specific questions.

[SIZE=+1]Q1: Which phone variant is officially supported?[/SIZE]

XT1031, XT1032, XT1033 and XT1034) and Google Play Edition (XT1032).​

[SIZE=+1]Q2: How do you flash the ROM if you come from stock/other custom rom?[/SIZE]

Follow the steps:

1. unlock the bootloader
2. flash custom recovery
3. wipe /cache
4. format /system
5. format /data
6. install latest zip
7. install Google Apps

[SIZE=+1]Q3: What to do if I want to update CM?[/SIZE]

All you have to do is flash the official CM on your device. You will get notifications about updates on your phone or you check manually in Settings -> About Phone -> CyanogenMod Updates. The OTA update works completely automatic with a supported recovery and you do not need to do anything else (no /cache wiping, /system or /data formating, no Google Apps installation).​

[SIZE=+1]Q4: Where do I get the latest download?[/SIZE]

You can find the downloads on the cyanogenmod information page. However, there are 4 different types (Nightly, milestone, release candidate, stable). You can find a description of the types on that page as well. Currently there are only nightlies and milestone builds available.​

[SIZE=+1]Q5: Which version do I need to download?[/SIZE]

Download the version with the latest timestamp (e.g. cm-11-20140219-NIGHTLY-falcon.zip ). It is a unified build and works with all supported devices alike.​

[SIZE=+1]Q6: Where can I find a change log?[/SIZE]

You can find a change log on cmxlog.com and in the cyanogen updater, just click on the version number of the OTA.​

[SIZE=+1]Q7: Which custom recovery should I use?[/SIZE]

Currently, there are 4 custom recoveries: CWM Advanced Edition, CWM, TWRP, CWMSwipe. You can get the letter three from the OP of the development thread or by using search.​

[SIZE=+1]Q8: I am getting an error when doing OTA Update on CWM Advanced Edition.[/SIZE]

The storage is set wrong in the recovery. Boot into recovery go to "Advanced" and click on "Storage set to /data/media/0". Reboot your phone and do the OTA Update.
​

[SIZE=+1]Q9: What is not working?[/SIZE]

Always remember that this is still an early build. It is far from perfect, however, mostly useable. You can find a list of bugs in the Debug Thread.​

[SIZE=+1]Q10: How to report a bug?[/SIZE]

Make sure that the bug persists after a clean install and is not just the result of a dirty flash. Format /cache, /system & /data, reinstall the rom and check for the bug. If it still persists report it in the Debug Thread​

[SIZE=+1]Q11: What is the AnTuTu Score for this ROM?[/SIZE]

It is around 17,000.​

[SIZE=+1]Q12: How can i enable On/Off screen with Flip Shell on MotoG under CM11?[/SIZE]

The Flip Shell should work out of the box since CM11-20140317-NIGHTLY.
​

[SIZE=+1]Q13: How to enable Immersive mode ?[/SIZE]

• Got to settings > interface > Expanded Desktop style.
• Choose between Disabled/Status bar visible/Status bar hidden.
• Long press power button and choose 'Expanded Desktop'

If there is something important coming in the discussions below, I will try to add this to the OP.

thanks to @dhacker29, @a1Pha, and all others that push the development of the Moto G.

 

[denzel09]

Hi thanks. There is also philz recovery.

 

[pinguijxy]

Hi thanks. There is also philz recovery.

Is it also known to work with the CM11 build from dhacker? I only tried CWM so far.

 

[denzel09]

Uhhmm i don't know the reasons why it should not work with cm 11, but if so it would really strange and the dev should know this.

 

[matmutant]

It is a nice idea to build a CM11 specific FAQ, though, it is pointless to duplicate global Q&A already hangin' in the already existing FAQs and Guides.
eg these ones :

[Q]: How do I unlock my bootloader?
[Q]: How do I install the recovery on my Moto G?

you should link to global RC-FAQ for general questions, and only keep CM specific questions here.

Thank you,

Yeah makes sense I will do that! Unfortunately, I am only allowed to post/edit every 5 minutes. I will change that asap

it works just checked!

 

[Gronnd]

I successfully instaled cm11 and its perfectly working. But I have a worry:

The CRT animation (from turn off screen) i'ts laggy. Its like at 2 fps or somethings, it isn't smooth at all. This lag is present also when I touch the multitask button, it takes like a second to show the apps. On some menus, the lag is present too.
The weirdest part is that a few hours ago, the lag dessappears, but now is back again.

Anyway with the same problem? or any solution? It will be appreciated

Those settings are all correct. Did you dirty flash the rom or did you wipe /cache and format /system & /data before you installed cm11?

 

[Gronnd]

I do all wipes and format.

I really dont know what i'm doing wrong.

can you go to settings -> apps -> running and see if you RAM is full? If that is not the case than I would recommend reinstalling cm and see if it was just a faulty flash.

I have 461 mb free, so its no RAM problem.
I think I will try the reinstall.

Is there any other wipe/formar/erase comand that you think I should use, if case this problem comes from a corrupted file?

If it is still present after a fresh install ( formate /cache /system /data) than it is probably a bug and you should report it to @dhacker29 in the development thread of CM11

[Gronnd]

What's the score in AnTuTu using this ROM?

Sorry if is a noob question but, is xposed framework compatible with this ROM?

Thanks for the info. I was wondering what the score is since I was unsure what to flash on my device, this or Nexus G+ ( Which scores over 18k )

And regarding your question, as long as you use Dalvik and not ART, it should work just fine

 

[Jeff.Wagen]

4 cores

Does someone know if the processor is working with all 4 cores now? Thanks!!
