What's the reason for slow development for this phone?

[mahendru1992]

Despite the release of kernel sources, why isn't there much development for this phone? Is it because most developers don't have this phone, or because they're waiting for the release of lollipop?
I kinda now wish that I'd bought the Moto G 1st gen lol.

Wish I knew! My guess is that they're waiting for Lollipop. Then again, this phone is still young. So not many people / developers own this device. And Motorola isn't Samsung or HTC. It's a small fish in the smartphone ocean!

Yeah, but moto g has like ****loads of ROMs.
But, any how here's to speedy development

Fingers crossed

Drivers were released a few days ago, so yeah, they are coming

Yeah I hope so too. I'm also hoping that a developer does comment here and make us stop worrying

Slow development??? The phone was released less than two months ago. Not to mention in stock mode it is already a kick-ass phone.

But as with all things, there is always somebody who isn't happy with the status quo.

Chill Bro! I'm not happy, but certainly I'm not complaining also here.
And why I'm asking is because when the kernel sources weren't released, everybody was saying that wait till they release, and we'll get speedy development of ROMs and kernels. But now that sources have been released, no development. I was kinda disappointed.
I had a s3 before, and that phone had ROMs in the 1st month only. So yes I'm comparing. Kill me

On a side note, hows your battery life mate, I can barely make it through a day.


I Read on gsm arena that the endurance time was 50hrs.But I could see my meter spiraling downwards



Me thinks somethings wrong with my battery :cyclops:

Bdw Im using a dual sim version

Same here. Sometimes the battery lasts long enough, most of the time is goes empty very quickly and the top right corner of my XT1068 gets warm. Not hot, but warm. Don't know about the internal layout so don't know if it's related.

Wondering if I should RMA it or replace kernel/ROM and hope for the best.

How come? Mine lasts easily through the day! Look carefully at the apps you're using: which one is consuming the most? Greenify it! Furthermore avoid using 3g. 2g Is fine for just Whatsapp etc! And don't use animated backgrounds!

No problem my friend. I understand the desire to improve on a good thing. I am sure we'll see some custom ROM's showing up soon.

I get a full day's use out of it before I have to charge. But I play several games off and on throughout the day. On days where I don't do any game playing it will last two days.

I am on the single SIM model (XT1063)

What do you have running in the background?

 

[metalrules321]

What do you have running in the background?

Pretty much empty.

I rooted and removed most of the moto and google bloats

The only persistent ones are whatsapp, viper4android and faux sound


And Im not playing games on it too except for maybe a round of pocket tanks and subway surfer and not using any animated wallpapers


I disabled my second sim just to see what results i get

I usually recommend this to everyone, but if you're having battery drain problems, just use ubounced, a xposed module. I had around 8-10 hours of standby, but after using it, My standby increased to 24-26 hours, and Screen On Time was around 4-5 hours. I don't micromanage at all i.e 3g is on all the time, no WiFi, sync is on

Do you think is safe buying Moto 2014 then? I mean development will popout? Or better buy 2013 LTE ?

I just think is early. Just wait for some devs who can relieve us but we should receive modding aswell! Wait before buying !
