It all depends on what device developers own if they have the 2 sim XT1022 then that's what they use for testing and what will get released initially as it's convenient to use a device they actually own. where as with XT1021 if they don't own that they have to rely on others to test which will slow the whole process down. Hope this helps clear some things up.

I think yes. The developer 'percy_g2' could send his build to CM devs and gain an OFFICIAL support for the phone. :fingers-crossed:

For me (and for now), Carbon ROM is developed with sources from CM11. Due to slowly updates of Carbon, I had more instability in games such Minecraft, Asphalt, and console emulators.
Cheers!
EDIT: I don't use GApps.
CM11 by percy_g2 is having issues with wifi even the stable version so right now no custom rom is stable
As for unlocking bootloader yes indian moto e XT1022 can be unlocked

Steps to Install 5.1.1
Well,
You can install a custom rom....for me worked perfectly a Google AOSP 5.1.1 because is the same Nexus Device Rom.
1st step is unlock your device and is mandatory - We know this process unlock Bootloader-
You can get your unlock code from motorola , there are steps explained in the moto web page
2nd step is flash recovery
This process is put a little Software to reset cache and flash rom from zip file... for me worked fine TWRP
You need copy your rom to the device to be flashed
And the last is flash a logo to remove ugly wearning screen and install Gapps -Software from Google , chrome, maps, drive,andoid play etc....-
That`s all man...
Hi all, need advice on a Moto Z [XT1650-05 Griffin] China version. I recently purchased this phone and it does not comes with Google Play Services and unfortunately the device prevent me from manually install them into the phone (the services stopped automatically) even with downloaded APK from apkmirror.
Have anyone trying to install Google Play Services into the phone ? or is there a way to install it ? Need advice from all gurus. Appreciated.
Thanks.
flash other regions' firmware, like EU's or US's, there are some choices on this forum. and boot img and system img from all variants of moto z's firmware can be inter-flashed, even other imgs (exclude the bootloader and gpt img). remember there always are risks when flashing or fastbooting anything unofficial.
I'm using the Chinese version with Euro firmware because I'm a google service user and I like the stock Android. It is suggested to flash Euro firmware to the Chinese model for the two models has the same hardware(except the dual sim slot).
For the latest version XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_RETEU-EMEA_6.0.1_MPL24.246-17_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-03_CFC_EMEA.xml, just unlock the BL and completely flash it with RSD Lite(Erase command should be included, remember to backup), and all the function will be alright, the dual SIM card work fine, too. But if you live in China and use vpn for google play service, the battery life will be a little shorter than normal.
By the way, you can also flash open Gapps to the Chinese firmware with TWRP recovery if you like Lenovo's UI.

if you don't mind me asking, can I flash this rom with RSD for the chinese XT1650-05 version?
XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_RETEU-EMEA_6.0.1_MPL24.246-17
I flashed @JackyGreen rooted rom on my 1650-05 and have no problem at all
Going from experience with earlier Moto cross-flashes: They work fine with no side effects but one.
You'll most likely but cut off from future OTAs so any update will have to be installed manually. But that's easily done if you follow this forum.

True, but the beauty of Moto cross-flashes was, that they could be performed without a custom bootloader and even without bootloader unlock. Not sure if that's still the case with the Z series (I see no reason why it wouldn't, tbh) but it was true for the previous X series.

I've never had a Moto with android before (I come from LG mainly, with some experiment with different brands...) but... more I know them, more I like them!
The impression I had is that they are really hard to brick... quite every error can be recovered eventually.... :fingers-crossed:

Hello, I haven't tested that rom, but as the instructions by JackyGreen, it could be flashed by either RSD or adb commands.

Hello guys!
I have a motorola MOTO E 1st generation.
The internal memory is an SD card 2Gb, locked in a metal cage welded to the motherboard.
When this smartphone was released It was rumored that a hardware MOD would replaced the SD, but Motorola had said That no one would never do it.
I wonder: have you tried it? did you manage it?
It is the only thing missing in this device.
thanks for everything!
What hardware Mod are you talking of? Please post a link.
For Jio sim

No u can't. Moto e does not have LTE bands.
Hi,
My wife has a Cricket XT1021 Moto E (sim unlocked/Bootloader UNLOCKABLE). She recently got a new car and would like to connect with Android Auto, but her phone is Kit Kat 4.4.4 and the app only runs on lollipop or higher. She is not interested in upgrading the phone because she likes the size of the Moto E. All the new phones are too large for her liking...even the 5 inch models.
The next option is to upgrade to Lollipop but I'm not entirely sure how to go about it. Checking for updates on the phone (with data & wi-fi) says it has the latest firmware, which I know is not true. I have downloaded the Cricket 5.1 zips from here, but am not sure of the differences between version LPC23 and version LPCS23. I have found instruction to upgrade to the Soak test here:
www. droid views .com/install-android-5-0-2-lollipop-ota-zip-moto-e (remove spaces for link)
Can I just follow those same instructions and simply replace the soak test zip with one of the versions I downloaded? I am fairly confident that will work I am just not clear which zip to use.
I appreciate your advice. I have rooted and flashed all my phones, but hers...I cannot screw up for obvious reasons.
