I received my VZW Moto X in the mail yesterday and played with it most of the day before accepting the Kit Kat OTA.
I can't help but notice the change in the digital clock widget... I really liked the bold hour with the thin minutes... any way to get that back without resorting to another app like HD Widgets?
Also, I'm coming from a GS3 and was able to hide apps from displaying in the app drawer on my old phone, which I can't seem to be able to do on my Moto X... is that a Samsung/Touchwiz feature? I ask because I have a couple paid apps with unlock key apps that I got used to not having to see.
I also notice the lack of Developer Options at the bottom of the Settings menu... is that because I'm on VZW?
These are really just minor annoyances and not major problems, but any help would be appreciated.

to enable developer options..
go into settings, scroll to bottom select About Phone..
Then scroll to the bottom and press the build number repeatedly until the developer countdown finishes. voila! you have developer options.
Sorry, I cannot help you with the other things.

It would be complicated, but you could side load an older APK of deskclockgoogle.apk from a 4.2 ROM and disable the preinstalled version. Some additional tweaks might be required. Alternatively, the Chronus app that's available in the market looks identical and lets you customize a ton more.
Check those unlock key apps to see if they give you a native option to hide the icons from the launcher. Otherwise, you can use a custom launcher like Nova to hide the apps you don't want to see.
I tried Chronus but for some reason I can't add the widget to the home screen, it just doesn't show up on the widget menu. I can add it to my lock screen, just not my home screen. Is it a 4.4 compatibility issue maybe?
Edit: Never mind... For some reason it's available in the widget menu now... Weird.

I have just updated to 4.2.2 in my HTC One. I found the Quick Settings is very useful when I am going to toggle settings like WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE, Air Plane mode etc.
But it is very stupid to use 2-fingers pulling down the Quick Toggles directly, especially I am using my phone with one hand only. Pull the the Notification Bar and then press the button upper right to launch the Quick Settings is also slow and inconvenience.
I know Nova Launcher has got a shortcut to pop up the Quick Settings instantly, but I really want to have the original Sense Launcher. Is that any app or widget can launch the Quick Toggles page as a shortcut???
P.S. My phone has not yet rooted... I hope for a non-rooted solution.
I'm actually curious about this as well. I don't have 4.2.2 yet, but from what I've seen, I don't think that I'll like having to either use 2 fingers or pull down the menu and select the secondary menu. I'm currently using the Quick Toggles app from Google Play, and it does the job, but it would be great to just use the stock feature.

Hello everyone,
I just got my OPO and Im in the process of trying to customize it the way I want it. I know what i want to do but I haven't been able to figure out how to accomplish it despite searching. In simplest term I am looking for a more functional lock screen. A major priority is launching google now without unlocking the phone. I searched for Ok google anywhere, but only came up with aftermarket apps. I previously had some version of jellybean on my kindle where the lockscreen allowed me to choose between unlocking the phone, and launching google now. Is there something I can install or a similar rom for Kit Kat and the OPO?
So far I installed an app called Slidelock which displays messages and notifications on the lock screen iphone style. It works great but an option that lets me quick reply from there would be even better. I haven't come across such an app or setting. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.

You can "call" Google now from any screen including the lock screen just:
Open Google Now
Settings
Voice
"Ok Goole" Detection
And select the options you want: From Anyscreen and From Lock Screen
Done.

For notifications. Try echo notifications
I think its much better then slidelock and nlis notifications. 100% free no ads
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
echo replaces the lockscreen, which makes it a no no for me, but some people do like that.
Nils you can set up by changing to aosp lockscreen on the opo, (settings lockscreen, disable custom lockscreen) then adding the widget, moving widget to default position then swapping back to custom lockscreen in the lockscreen settings.
DashClock?
I've got a Moto X Developer Edition with Lollipop 5.1 on it. I love everything about it except for the fact that some of my app notifications show up as white squares on my status bar instead of the regular app icon which used to show up for me on status bar when I had KitKat. I had been told that this only happens with apps that haven't been optimized for Lollipop. I was willing to accept this until I got Lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 a few weeks ago. I noticed on the tablet that all of the appropriate app icons show up as normal on my tablet whereas the same notification on my Moto X shows up as just a plain white square. I then have to swipe down for my notifications to see which one it is and read it. Is there something that I'm missing in Motorola that will help me fix this issue?
I've got this a lot on two apps in particular. One of them is the 14News app (local news app in my area) and the other one is NASCAR Mobile.
Any help I can get on this would be very greatly appreciated.

Did you try powering down and restarting your phone?

In Settings, Sounds & Notifications, App Notifications, each app is listed, select an app, slide priority on. It might activate display of the icon. Not sure though. You might try clearing an app data, uninstall, then reinstall the app.

This may not be possible but I figured that I'd ask anyway. Is there any way to get the notification icons that pop up on the status bar to be more like the KitKat icons? I've got some notifications that show up as a plain white square on my status bar ever since I upgraded to Lollipop a few months ago.
Let me give you an example of couple that I'm running into. I have the NASCAR Mobile app on my phone. I also have the 14News app (local news) on my phone. Anytime I get notifications from either of these apps, I get a plain white square on my status bar and I have to take the time out and look and see what it is. I'm wondering if it is something in the Motorola settings that I'm missing because I am also running Lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (8") tablet and I don't have these issues on that device at all.
Any help that can be given to me on this would definitely be greatly appreciated.

do you have greenify? sometimes the system will lump those together if they've gone inactive for awhile and are greenified.

I've never had Greenify on my Moto X at all. These apps that I was talking about are apps that I use and get notifications from several times per week and I'd like to be able to tell at a glance which app is giving me the notification on my phone.
By the way, I've marked both apps as priority and I still get the plain white squares on these app notifications.

then perhaps it's due to too many notifications (sometimes from the same app). I noticed that on some apps like fb. on other apps like scrabble, there is a number embedded on the notification icon.
i believe there is a setting to tell whether or not to group them together or not.
There isn't anything like that on my status bar at all.
Are you asking if its possible to change the notification icon style on Lollipop to that of KitKat/Jellybean then yes its possible with the use of some Xposed mods. If the notification icons themselves appear distorted due to some reason then I'm afraid there is something wrong with the apps perhaps. A screenshot or two would have been really helpful in getting a better understanding of your issue here.
If you're asking about notification ticker, there's a module for Xposed by the name of 'Enable Notification Ticker'. I have it installed myself.

I'm not really talking about a notification ticker. I have tried these before and found them to be more annoying than useful for me. Thank you anyway for your input.

Generally Battery Percentage not show in Moto Mobiles but in this video i'll show you how to enable battery percentage in all Moto Devices without Any app Or ROOT. Its working in My Moto G5 Plus (All Moto). Thanks

Or u can use this app...
as it turns out, you need to have Dev Options turned OFF before turning UI tuner. Then you can enable it. after you see the option, you can enable dev options again
Thats how it worked in my case anyways.
I love you
Nice thing, thanx
Just looked at the video... This is great, but I don't like the number inside the battery... Too tiny to actually read. Anyone have an app to show it as a number next to the battery? My old LG had that as an option in the battery settings... I preferred that. ?

Worked even with dev options on for me though
hmmm. weird. oh well, glad its working
anyone know how to enable the % to the right of the battery instead of within it?
I've done some extensive searching and I could not find an answer. I'd imagine this is a setting in the ROM.
I am now wondering if anyone has found an app that maybe does this. Certainly some apps provide a battery indicator, but specifically one that always sits immediately to the left of the battery icon.
Good work

For those who don't have the System UI Tuner active here is how to enable it:
http://www.greenbot.com/article/3156309/android/androids-system-ui-tuner-what-it-is-and-how-to-use-it.html
First, you need to pull down the notification shade. Then, tap and hold the gear icon in the top right of the screen for a few seconds (on newer phones you’ll feel a vibration upon activation). Once you let go, the tiny cog will roll away and you’ll be taken to the Settings app and a box will appear saying, “Congrats! System UI has been added to Settings.”
To get to the menu, scroll all the way to the bottom of the settings screen. In the second-to-last spot, you’ll see a new System UI Tuner option, right above the About phone tab. Tap it and you’ll open up a set of options for tweaking the interface.
