Moto X will definetly get the Android L (probably its last update) .
The question is if we will be getting a dev preview too or just when it releases in October.

I know, but maybe companies have access to the source code.
I could only hope Motorola can make a dev preview for us too. I know it is a long shot, but I can only dream.
Regardless, all APKs will be taken out of the Nexus 5 preview and will probably work for every phone (new Gmail for exemple).

Yeah, I'm hoping too, but at least we'll have some APKs to play with. Maybe someone will ape some features via Xposed too. I love having new toys, like a brand new OS, but I am so happy with the current form of my Moto X that I won't be completely bummed if even the developer edition Moto X devices don't see a preview release.

I can't wait to use the new keyboard as well. It looked really good.
I'm waiting the moto 360 for now!!
If moto X doesn't update to the latest android L, I definetly flash a custom ROM or buy a nexus phone
I think it's quite likely that the X will get Android L when it's done, as even the Moto E is promised to get it. There will always be CyanogenMod and thelike, but I won't give up touchless controls and active notifications :/
As for the beta - Don't think so, but one can hope. Maybe kind of like motorola's soak-tests.
Punti from Motorola is on record as saying that the Moto X, G and I assume the E. ...will be supported for two years guranteed...
He even responded to one of my posts on G+ in which he confirmed it.

Just got my Moto G a couple of days ago from Virgin in Canada, opened the box and booted it up and it was running 4.4.4 out of box. Was cool to see that
Kind of excited for the upcoming Android L release. Hopefully we'll get it on all devices.
Everyone says this device wont get L, but it is pretty sure it will get it... So, just be patient!! One of the funniest things I've read about this subject is that this phone won't get L because of its 4.5" screen.. thats ridiculous! since Nexus 4 is getting L and it has 4.6" screen!

Agreed. Not only that but it's less than a year old still. I'd be surprised if a phone made by a Google company didn't receive the flagship update, especially when they have a GPE version of it (one of two phones even on the GPE program currently) and especially when the launch model is still only 11 months old.

Early 2015 Android L for Moto X.
Two months.. :/
Android 5.0 L Eligible And Ineligible Smartphones: Motorola, Samsung Galaxy And Sony Xperia
http://www.androidorigin.com/androi...o-x-moto-g-htc-one-m8-note-4-galaxy-s5-xperia
Until 2015.......
Motorola have been pretty good about providing timely updates, even beating out some Nexus devices. Punit Soni himself confirmed the 2013 X will get Android L, so there's that. However, with the 2014 X out now, it could get pushed back. I think January 2015 is a solid target month to expect the 2013 X to get updated.
I wouldn't be surprised of Motorola decides to just cancel the update they've done it before with the photon 4g
Sent from my XT1058 using XDA Free mobile app
Even if we do get L, it would take long time
I doubt it will take anywhere near that long, that sounds more like a timeline for heavily skinned device. The moto x is pretty barebones with only a few apps so i'd say it'll be a relatively quick update. I'd guess mid November with mid December being the latest.
It’s Official: Android 5.0 Lollipop Coming to Moto X, Moto G, Moto E and More
Keeping in mind that Motorola made the brand new Nexus 6, I am pretty sure it must be an easy task to push L very soon to all its devices. But this was the same with the previous update. Moto promised that they will push the 4.4.4 update very soon but they took quite some time due to carrier issues and quite a few other stuff to all its devices.
I just hope we all also get the L soon so that we can lick our LOLLIPOPs :victory:
It shouldn't be long for us, remember how fast the update for 4.4 came
I'm pretty sure 5.0 will be fast to port and release. After all, Moto probably got 5.0 before anyone else due to the Nexus 6. I wouldn't be amused if it's almost done for Moto X 2014.

Android Lollipop features
I've been following Android Police's covering of all the Android Lollipop Dev Preview (which is basically as close to the finished OS as you can get before the final release) features. It seems that the Nexus 6 (and also Android 5.0) will be coming with an always listening feature for hotword detection of "OK Google" and something akin to Moto Display called "Ambient screen". It seems that Google is really utilizing those patents it acquired from Motorola before selling it to Lenovo. I would love to try these features out! Maybe someone will make a basic ROM of 5.0 (here's to hoping!)... At any rate it seems more and more that the Moto X 2013 was really a beta test of some of Google's 5.0 features. Can't wait for the official release!!!

No, they're still owned by Google. Lenovo still hopes to have their acquisition of Motorola Mobility close by end of 2014. It's taking longer than many expected, but it's not done just yet.

I just found out, http://www.cnet.com/news/lenovo-closes-acquisition-of-motorola-mobility-from-google/
How is possible that Moto G 2nd generation have lollipop before that moto x 2013?????
So with the second gen moto G and X starting to get lollipop, how much longer do you guys think untill we start seeing our soak tests?
Is the Verizon Moto X and G getting the update or just the gsm version? If the Verizon Moto X is getting it, then it shouldn't too much longer for us. maybe a few weeks I would guess.
Nope just unlocked gsm versions. I'm thinking January if moto keeps with their quick updates like last year.

Let's hope xposed will be compatible with ART by then. Who knows, maybe a Lollipop based AOSP ROM will be released before Verizon's. Either way, not in a big hurry since my phone is pretty much running all Lollipop Gapps. The only thing not updated is the dialer.

droid maxx will probably get the update in about a week or two...werent the 2013 droids the first to get 4.4.4? even before nexus if i remember right...
either way im really loving an improved battery and LTE on T-mobile on my droid maxx after the su5 23.3.24 update
My guess is that the 2013 Droids won't see Lollipop until 2015. Motorola will want to update the 2014 Moto X, the 2014 Moto G, and the 2013 Moto X, maybe the 2013 Moto G and E, and Verizon will want to update the Turbo, before both get around to the Ultra/Maxx/Mini. The 2012 Droids (Razr M and Razr HD series) got a KitKat update in May. Hopefully the update will get to the 2013 Droids before next May, but I think we still have to wait for those other phones to be updated first.
In depth review of Lollipop: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/11/android-5-0-lollipop-thoroughly-reviewed/
Based on Nexus reviews(6) Lollipop has integrated Google Now with hot word detection so the Moto Assist app will be obsolete. It also means much quicker operation without the extra app handing off data to Google Now.

At the expense of more battery drain. I think I'll stick with touchless controls/Moto Voice and its use of the low power processor. (The assist app announces text messages and voice calls while you're driving, so I think you mean Moto Voice...)

May not be so soon according to this. If I understand correctly that the Droid Ultra/Maxx has the same processor as the 2013 Moto X but someone correct me if I am wrong on that.
On the downside, Motorola tweeted via its official support Twitter account about the status of the Moto X (2013) Lollipop update, suggesting that it was still some way off.

@ac2k9 Moto X (1st Gen) will get L, but chipset requires more effort. We're working to deliver satisfactory experience, performance.

Or "If" it is... Seriously, at this point I am hoping that they do make us wait till 5.1.. With the reports of fixes and improvements, it will be worth it...
Here is my theory why: Our phones are reaching the outer edges of carrier,OEM and Google support. If we get 5.0, 5.01 or 5.02,,, we may not see another update beyond that. We could be stuck with whatever they give us for good. I am checking like everyone else for the update, but aside from my own personal desire for instant gratification, I believe we may be better off to not get it with a shot at 5.1...
This is very difficult for me since this is the first Android device I have had with no unlocked bootloader or root. But the phone still rocks pretty hard.

Seriously, it's not coming until after the Droid Turbo, and almost certainly after the 2013 moto x on Verizon. Neither phone is even in a soak test right now.
Last year the 2012 Droids got KitKat in may. I'd say that's the earliest the Maxx gets Lollipop this year.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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
