At the moment on XDA, there is a device forum for the Moto G4 and another one for the Moto G4 plus... Given these are 'similar' devices are there any thoughts on pooling discussions/ ROMs etc.
Note, the Moto G4 (X1622) device forum has little content, probably cause most people have bought the G4+.
Or have i got it wrong and due to the camera and fingerprint scanner, there is enough of a difference.?
Update:: just doing a quick dig, Motorola's codename for these devices is Athene for both as such has common released kernel source...
ta
I'd opt for combining, when the codename and kernel is the same for both. Also, when people want to know if it's wordt to go for one or the other it's nice to read replies on the question from both user groups without having to cross post.

Keep your eyes open - asking won't cause anything to spring out.

I am a moto g(2013) user and I found out that the development of moto g4/g4 plus,compare to the previous models,is extremely slow or even no significant progree at all.I wonder if it is the unpopularity of this device,or the difficulty in developing this devices from scratch.This bother me so much that I consider buying the moto g 2015 rather than this
Me too.. All moto g series phone are booting 7.0 but we are still way behind..
in my experience all of the moto series of devices have slower development. the G4 isn't a very popular phone for most devs, its a budget device. personally stock, rooted, elementalx and substratum are perfect for me right now. we should have android 7.0 by the holidays.
Why don't you develop some stuff instead? That way, we will have more things to flash.

are substratum themes fully compatible? can i fully theme notifcation bar etc using substratum?
You want faster development? Buy an extra G4Plus and send it as a gift to a developer. I know a couple that took the task of developing CM13 for various phones because they got the devices free.
I want to get rid of my Honor 7 which is totally dead regarding ROM support (and EMUI is awfull) and I want to choose a device with good support from developpers, especially for CyanogenMod.
I like the G4 Plus (especially because of it's fingerprint sensor) but I'm worrying that it will not have same support as the G4 version.
Are the ROM easy to port from G4?
Is it safer to choose the G4 or do you think the G4 Plus will catch up and gain the same activity ?

This kind of post should go in the "questions and answers" of the device, I can tell you that by reading the contents in the development sections, it seems the opposite.
G4 Plus seems more supported than the regular version, although I could be wrong.

It's true, wrong section, my mistake, and thanks for your answer!
Each rom here , support both g4 and g4 plus , there is no specific rom for either g4 plus or g4
Someone here could compile the ROM MIUI for the harpy, Cause no one is developing it, And she is the most sought at the moment. Already have for the bike g4, and g4 plus. Just does not have pro play.
I will be very happy if someone carries her to the harpy

Hello, going to be exchanging my Note 4 (910s) for a Moto X play- due to the lack of AOSP roms for 910s. I primarily love stock android and just want to be able to install future releases of android and such.. Are there any issues with the Moto XPlay? So far I've read that it has a heating issue..
LineageOS 14.1 is working well (no heating issue). But Oreo is not ready, and it's not sure it will be actively developed for the Moto X Play.
Except if you have a really good price, I don't see why you would replace your Note 4 (2015) for X Play (2015).
If you really wanna have latest AOSP, you must find a more recent phone. I guess OnePlus or LG are quite popular for that.
