Someone over in the note 3 forums said you guys here in the moto x section had an apk that would let me change the "ok google" activation command to be whatever I want
anyone know where I can find this so I can try it on my note 3 and see if it works?

Hi everyone, I'm new here. Don't know how to navigate around this forum but hope I'm in the right place?
I've had my MOTO X for 3 weeks now and having trouble with emoticons/emoji. How on earth do you send them on text? I've downloaded from the playstore, gone into settings, activated emoji keyboard but still I can't send them via text. I've just left iPhone and still learning. Am I doing something wrong?

You know the return key on the Google keyboard? Hold that down for a couple of seconds, then a small popup window will allow you to drag your finger to the "emoji" symbol

So from what i can tell phones using DSP chips will be able to use ok google now from stock android. Our Moto X's do use that for the Motorola assist features. Does this mean that android lollipop could help go around moto assist? I don't like the delays that Moto assist comes with, and getting to use Google now through stock would be amazing. They only mention that Nexus 6 and 9, will be able to use it, but i don't see why our phone wouldn't be able to.
It might be able to in theory, but is it possible to disable assist? Havent got the phone so i dont know lol

Yes, assist can be disabled. The problem is because assist and the files for it are installed, it disables one from saying "ok, google" and letting google now take over. Assist needs to be on if you want to do voice related things. Unless I'm missing something, I haven't found a way to allow google now voice commands to work with assist on or off

If you disable Moto Voice, Google Search "Ok Google" will work just fine....
I know if you turn moto assist off it will allow ok google hotword with the google launcher. So hopefully the files that allow lollipop to use dsp chip will be included in the software, so it doesn't have to be integrated into moto voice. Cant wait for Lollipop, had L with my Nexus and coming back to kitkat was like a slap to the face.

I know that on the 2013 X this did not work. There is an internal, hidden config flag in Google Search that lists the devices on which hotword detection is permanently disabled -- meaning that nothing you did to to moto touchless controls would help.
That being said, there is an app out there, UnleashTheGoogle, that will un-hide all of the hidden settings in Google Search and then you can just remove your phone from the blacklist (if the '14 X is in there)
So after the recent Moto Voice update, i can't get the Google Now hot word Detection to work at all. Going into Google Settings to try to train it to listen to me, it won't activate the mic at all to listen to me, completely refuses too. Plus, to top it off, Moto Voice now says "Opening Google" Whenever it is too retarded to be able to do what i want it to with my voice, which is ridiculous. I Force closed Moto Voice, and the google now search bar had the mic showing that it was ready for voice. (The filled in one.) but did not respond to Ok Google, and by the time i went to train it, Moto Voice had restarted. I might try freezing Moto Voice with Titanium and seeing if i can get google now to work then. All in all, this is disappointing as it stands.
Ok! So Freezing the Moto Voice app did it for me. (That or yelling ok google at my phone for 5-10 minutes in the training voice part of Google Now Voice Settings.) Regardless i can activate Ok Google again from any screen. Though, my Google Now Settings includes the check box for google searching from the Lock Screen, it doesn't seem to work. That might come with Lollipop proper... -crosses fingers.
Edit: It will allow it to Google Search from lockscreen , But not with sound off... that is the feature that might come with Lollipop.
Anyone know if the Nexus 6 will come with active listening similar to that of the Moto X? It's one of my favorite features about the Moto X.
Do not think of the device as Moto X think of the device as nexus...aka PURE AND COMPLETE stock android. So anything you love about the MOto X odd of you finding it on N6 (unless n6) has it own version, you wont see it.
Hope that answer your question
Aw that's a bummer. There are some Moto apps on the playstore. Hopefully they are usable on the Nexus 6.

Scroll to the bottom and click "SEE ALL FEATURES." Here's one of the things it says:
OK Google
Easy access to information and performing tasks
Even if your screen is off, you can say "OK Google" on devices with digital signal processing support such as Nexus 6 and Nexus 9
Talk to Google on the go to get quick answers, send a text, get directions and more
The nexus 6 will respond to 'Ok Google' when off. It says so right on the Android L features page.
It won't have any of the advanced listening features.

Other than the ability to set a custom listing phrase, what are the "advanced listening features"?

In regards to the texting thing. I hope they fix it to use GV number with hangouts. With the nexus 5 if I use voice commands to send a text it uses my carrier number. Same with virtually every other app that sends stuff auto via text messages,

This is already available with the Google Launcher on my S4 (so long as the phone is charging). Time will tell if this is available on the Nexus 6 from idle when it's not charging.
When using moto voice commands Google search opens but says "opening Google" which is annoying. I had moto x 2014 and 2013, neither did this.
Anyone figure out how to disable this?

Based on comments/threads I've seen for the '14 X, it started doing this as well with the most recent update to moto Voice
Everyone says theirs is doing this but yet my Turbo doesn't. It just passes the query to Google Search. Weird.
Same here, annoying as can be. I set my M8 up w/ Nova and Google Now always listening and never had this. My wife's Ultra from last year simply does what you ask. None of this passing to Google. Between this and the inability for data/talk I'm having second thoughts. If only, if only, if only the N6 wasn't so damm big. Turbo is perfect size but seems to use half finished software.
Is it possible to install and use Moto Voice app on the Nexus 6? ..considering it has the hardware to support it and is motorola. It just has a few more helpful voice commands like the 'find my phone' which would be nice to have.
No, as that is a Motorola app and the Nexus does not use Motorola software.

Have you even tried? Your answer isn't really useful...
There was a port of moto suite to the max or maybe razor don't remember which just Google moto port and look on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687141
This may work
I hope there's a Dev that can hack/port it over to the N6. I love Moto suite
+1 for hoping that the Moto Suite will work with N6.
It is simple, its already there.. All u need to do is
1. Settings> language and input >language, also select English(India) .
2. Then scroll down go to voice input and select enhanced google services (click on the gear wheel)> languages, select english india and then on "ok" google detection , u will now see "retrain voice model" try anything that stats with ok . i have ok moto as mine..
Iam not sure if step 1 is required or not but i stumbled upon it by accident and those are the settings i have now, all though my keyboard language say English(US)
