Active notifications update

For some reason when I check the play store for the active notifications update I get a device not compatible message. Would someone be so kind as to download it and post the updated apk? Thanks so much.

Thanks for posting it, but I don't think it's going to work for me. Pretty sure it's only for kitkat and I'm still on JB. Kind of a bummer, the new update allows you to disable vibration and I've been wanting that option since day one, but not at the expense of having to ditch JB. Oh well. Thanks again.

For some reason I actually like how it was before. I hope they add an option to enable vibration just for active display

I really, REALLY don't like kitkat. JB on my moto x is perfect and there is absolutely nothing that can be improved upon, at least IMO. Kitkat is just visually unappealing to me and doesn't offer any performance upgrades so I'm staying on JB. Just wish this active notifications update worked on JB but alas, I can't have my cake and eat it too.

Well I have kitkat on my N5 so I'm more than used to it. I'm really angry at Google for ditching the futuristic, Tron-ish look that JB has. Holo blue is gorgeous, especially on the amoled display of the X. Kitkat white is just... meh.
I have the att version so no unlockable BL. I don't care so much because stock + xposed has been wonderful for me. My X is superfast, fluid as hell, and has a battery that just refuses to die. I'm perfectly happy with it the way it is

Nice!
Motorola we want color. So many fun features could still be added to Active Notifications. Perhaps it won't happen until the X2 is released.

Would be cool to change it within the app... Didn't accomplish it tonight but I'll try again tommrow with eclipse instead of apk multi tool
If anyone's reading this what color would you guys want?

Is this app in the playstore? I can't find it.
edit: nvm, found it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.aon
However, after updating, I still don't have vibration control in the settings.
edit2: nvm, found it: you have to disable it from the global "Vibrate on touch" setting.

Decent ROM with active display working?

I've been testing some roms and so far none of them have a working active display.
Is there any decent ROM with a working active display?

Yea, i'm looking for one too. As close to stock\AOSP as possible would be great.

Pacman works decent IMO

Yep! Lesson learnt! Apparently, there's nothing like stock. I won't try another ROM ever again on my Moto X. Stock + XPosed is the sh*t !
The only thing missing are the themes, but i can live without those.

I recommend Acid + Acdisplay

Does XPosed allow you to dim the display by swiping across the notification bar? Honestly, that is the only setting I ever cared about with my previous ROMs and phones, which is why I always used something akin to PAC Roms.

Eclipse hands down.

[Q] home button thing

this may sound like a weird question, but help would be appreciated. i just got the turbo. i upgraded from a droid RAZR Maxx and not the new one the one from 2011 XT912 so the latest non rooted OS i had was JB i think. i rooted my phone and was using CM11 and it was awesome. but now i am using unrooted 4.4.4 and it is not awesome. first why is it a non stock thing to not be able to change quick setting tiles. that just is dumb. and why cant i add fonts? anyways i digress. the real question i have is when i hold down the home button a half circle thing pops up with a magnifying glass in the center. is there a way to add to this quick action bar items or is it strictly a search button when you hold down home.

I'm coming from CM11 on XT912 also. I miss a lot of the features from CM, hotspot in particular. Praying for root to help us out. But no, there's no way to change that with stock rom from what i know.

Check out Power Toggles from Play Store. Super customizable, only downside is it needs a notification icon to remain pinned to top of pull down.

Thanks i am using power toggles. mine was more of a question to learn exactly what i can and cannot do with locked down phone. some stuff just confuses me like this. they put what could be awesome things in the OS then for some reason lock it down so we cannot use. it is like here, you see this cheesecake, don't eat it.

Q: Root and then unRoot

Hi
I just moved from LG-G3 to N6, and like it for the most part. There are a couple of things I liked, which I believe I can achieve by rooting my N6
- Notification light
- Knock Code.
The rub is, that my corporate requires me to use AirWatch agent which doesn't work on Rooted devices. Is it possible for me to Root, install the notification light/knock code changes and then unRoot again (and retain these modifications)?
I hope the answer is yes
BTW, my Android version: 6.0.1, Build MMB29K

Probably not. Almost definite not for the light as it requires writing to the kernel's virtual file system to turn the light on or off... But maybe someone can correct me with some other way.

no. once you unroot, your mods won't work anymore. anyways.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/attention-questions-t3228454

Well the tap thing is xposed right? Never tried but I have heard since xposed installs its own framework to run its programs that you can unroot and things may still work. Though I think a lot of things that look for root look for xposed too, so your still likely out of luck.

Thanks a lot for all your help. Next time I will post to the right (Q&A) sub-forum
Sad, that the notification light is in the HW, but not enabled in Nexus

To be honest, I prefer ambient notifications compared to led. Much more info at a glance.

I don't like any notification, led nor ambient :angel:
I do like my notification led glowing when my phones charging though.

I like that as well. I'm using PureNexus ROM that provides configurable LEDs(like I've it enabled only for battery charging) + double tap to wake and sleep out of box. It has many more customization options and very stable as its very very close to stock. Have been using it for a while now.

Root, install the mods you want, then use xposed to install root cloak to hide root from airwatch.

Revert One UI recents mess?

Hello.
I managed to flash Pie onto a Note 9 thanks to another thread in this forum. All is well except I'm horribly aggrieved by the new horizontal recents screen. To make things worse, Good Lock is seemingly not yet compatible with Pie so I don't have any control over this new UI.
Any one else feel the same? Known way to change this?
Thanks!

Sadly no, but can recommend to try two things:
1) turn of recent apps recommendation in the recents options - it causes lag and the recents menu will be atleast smoother and cleaner.
2) you can try to turn on the "reduce animation" from settings - advanced. This changes the recents behaviour and when you swipe it will be "by one" and not continuous scroll, try it and device generally if you like the animations.
From there it's waiting for good lock for pie or going custom ROM, I fear.

Getting annoyed by the exact same things. At the moment no solution for that. Unless we downgrade to Oreo but than will the security updates will continue to come?

Unhelpful.
Nowhere does it say Good Lock is incompatible.

Think this way. With new recent arrangement the user can see full card and no more only half. Agree? In my opinion it's more useful right now, It's question of time and i'm sure you'll like it

Perhaps it's just muscle memory but what gets me is there's no inertia so you can't just fling through apps as you used to be able to. Oh well.

The hideous icons and loss of GoodLock are rubbing me the wrong way. I used Routines in GoodLock for a handful of functions that made things a lot easier. Hopefully the GoodLock upgrade comes soon, if not I am seriously considering going back to Oreo, there is nothing in Pie that is blowing me away as I find even the gesture navigation slower/more tedious than the standard nav bar.

Get used to less features in your "new" update. I can live with it but it is annoying that they are limiting your options in the name of what? Becoming nice and simple like an iPhone? O would buy an iPhone if I wanted less features [emoji3]
