[Q] Alternate Camera Apps? - Moto X Q&A

I've read the reviews that say the Moto X camera is brilliant in some scenarios but frustrating when you want a bit more control (eg. high contrast scenarios). The obvious solution would be to just install a third party camera app for those situations. Has anyone tried this and what are the results like?

Do we need to be rooted in order to install the S4 camera?

[Q] Moto X Support HDVoice?

Does the Moto X support HD Voice? Thanks.
According to mashable, yes.
The Moto X also supports HD voice, although that feature only works with callers on the same network.

It should, but you need a specific option in build.prop for it to work. It won't work out of the box unless the carrier enables it, or maybe if you change build.prop.
I would think tmobile would have it enabled but it would be great to have it confirmed.

Does 4.4 increase camera quality?

I'm relatively new to the Moto X and I'm rooted on 4.2.2. I keep hearing these things about post-camera OTA updates and stuff. Does the 4.4 OTA update help out the camera quality? Or is all that handled through the Camera updates through the Play Store?
Basically I'm considering staying on 4.2.2 for a while since I'm rooted and have the OTA updates frozen. But I want to make sure that my camera software still gets updates.
Yes

Awesome, thanks for the quick answer!
4.4.2 is even better

Go 4.4.2 and leave the camera in HDR mode. I think it is fine, if I want to be a professional photographer I will buy a Leica!!

At first i want to talk about your phone. it s really nice. I have use it before. And obviously you can get Camera updates from Google Play Store

HRD mode is HORRIBLE in low light. For that reason I cannot recommend leaving it in HDR.
Yep, I have found that out as well. HDR mode should stay in Auto mode.

[Q] Apps safe to freeze?

I've been looking now for the past hour for a list of apps on our 4.4.2 Moto X that are safe to freeze. Me not finding the list tells me that it's probably right under my nose in a sticky or something but for the life of me I am not seeing it. I realize I am probably blind, but if somebody can link me to the thread (if there is one), I would greatly appreciate it.

They are not compatible
The applications of Moto X Play, do not work in Moto G 2014, having different hardware environment components, are for specific functions, because I have tested in the two models.

Its specifications are very similar to those of Moto X Play, but not equal. Unfortunately I can not post pictures, so you could see more detail. I can tell you that the Moto X Play has no gyro sensor, see the next image the first is the Nexus 4 and the second X Play.
http://i.blogs.es/2a7a02/moto-x-style-sensors/650_1200.jpg
Although Turbo is enhanced version, of the standard version of Moto G 2015 has no components X Play.
Also I have the Moto x 2014 and has many components that no longer X Play.
Make a simple test, pick up the phone and if you turn the screen without touching a button, and without using any external application, you might run dedicated applications to Moto X Play
