[Q] Touchless controls on Rooted Moto X? - Moto X Q&A

My Developer Edition Moto X should be arriving in the mail next week.
I am debating if I want to root and install custom roms, kernels, etc.
My favorite is cyanogenmod.
I am wondering if I flash cm, will I keep touchless controls. Can I wake my phone up when the screen is locked with my voice?
Or will this be rom - specific?
Also, if anyone has any recommendations for roms or kernels that would improve the phone I would really appreciate it.
Above all: I want to keep touchless controls

you lose touchless if you go with cm...
If you are used to cm, follow this to get a very similar end result. Good luck!

[Q] Moto Features Package?

Is it possible to put all the Moto X specific features into one flashable zip that will work on any rom? Basically I want to explore other roms, but I don't want to lose Touchless Control or Active Notifications. If it hasn't been done yet, I'm sure some brave soul will figure it out eventually.

There's similar apps that replace active notifications and some Roms do have it built in to the ROM but for touchless control no and probably never will be ported

Custom rom with custom voice control

Does anyone know a good custom rom where I can use my own phrase to turn the display on? the current one is set to "Hi Galaxy" with no other way to change that phrase. Also, is there a function where I can replace S voice with Google voice control in a custom ROM? Currently I am using S for Switch Voice and its good, but doesn't work all the time.
also, this is a more general question. If I have a Canadian locked phone (Rogers), do I still use the ROMS for at&t or can I go with the Samsung note 3 rom page? i was using att for my S3 and i9000

[Q] Touchless control and active display is not working for CyanogenMod on my moto x

Hi guys,
I recently flashed new CyanogenMod 11 on my moto x and I lost active display and touchless control app can anyone tell me how do I get back these two app
You don't.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the only ROMs that have Touchless & Active are stock-based ROMs. So AOKP, AOSP, PA, & CM ROMs do not have these features.
I tried using Peekbut not as good as stock AD

I installed peek and it worked but it's not so great as stock. Is there no rom's that support stock Active display and touchless?

That the reason i stay with the stock rom. But just wondering which specific features do you want of CM?, because you can implement nearly all with modules on Xposed Framework, especially with GravityBox.

Ya I have xposed and gravity box which is good but not accurate lik the stock one :/.
I am getting back to stock now having location issue and exchange servers and camera not working well on Cynogenmod 11
There is a Play store app that is similar to active display I believe, but that is the best you'll get.
And it will use far more battery, as it won't run off the low voltage core.
If you just want to flash ROMs but keep Moto features you should check out Eclipse or Krypton. Also checkout Faux kernel (not a rom but still modding fun and great battery life boost got me). AOSP implementation of active display is pretty awful compared to native active display, in my opinion.
Will v give that a try. Right now I'm in PAC ROM and so far it's good but still as you said native active display is the best

I tried using PAC for a few days. The battery drain for me was terrible. Every time I pulled my phone out of my pocket the screen was on. I think I screwed up by having active display and their notification screen enabled. Additionally, the 'blame the split screen' crashes were amusing the first few times but quickly became infuriating.
I'm currently trying out slimrom on my moto x. It doesn't have active display, but it's probably the smoothest rom I've used on the phone. I'm using an app from the Play Store, DynamicNotifications, which is a better option, imo, verse the built in AOSP version (which I believe is based on AcDisplay, but I could be completely wrong about that).
I'm going to give slim a try for a few days, but I don't think anything will work as well Eclipse.
If you're set on an AOSP rom, give slim a chance. If you want a feature packed AOSP rom, check out LiquidSmooth (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-liquidsmooth-v3-1-moto-x-ghost-t2781356). I think LS has the same features or almost the same features as PAC, but it didn't crash nearly as much on my device. I actually made it a full week before switching back to Eclipse.
I will try LS this time

[Q] ROM which retains Moto Features

Basically I'm looking for a ROM which retains custom features like Active Display (don't like the custom one from Play Store), the wrist flick for camera, Touchless control, etc. I've already used Eclipse and it's a great ROM however recently it's minor glitches have gotten in my way.
Try Krypton or Epsilon. They are both in the Dev section. I think Epsilon is GSM only though. I'm running Krypton and it is very good.

My biggest problem is the Dialer crash when swapping calls. I'm kinda forced to switch calls a lot at work and it's not working for me without that feature.

Oh yeah. Forgot about that. I think you can replace the nexus dialer with the stock Moto X one and the bug goes away.

The stock ROM retains these features.

[Q] Stock 4.4.4 + Xposed Framework or Cyanogenmod 12/other roms

I recently rooted my moto X 2013 and used cm12 for about 1 week. It's solid but i prefer active display over ambient display and the ability to use shake for camera & moto voice. Today i switched back to stock and got xposed framework. I'm already liking it more than cm12. what do you guys prefer?
I prefer stock roms :fingers-crossed:
Stock. Everything works as it should, and I am so accustomed to xposed and its feature set that I couldn't think twice. I need a daily driver phone wise and this phone has been fantastic.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
stock for sure. it's like having aosp but better cause everything works. especially with xposed.
You can do something like Carbon or CM11 with Xposed. Its much powerful than CM12 which is still in nightlies and has few major bugs like call audio, BT etc
Stock or stock-based rom with GravityBox.
Eclipse FTW!! Xposed hacks and slashes your framework. Eclipse is stock based so everything works and mods are hard coded like they should be. Just my opinion.

That and YouTube Adaway are all I need..so far.
I threw smooth progress bar on there too just for fun.
I tried cm12 a couple of days ago. It a really nice, but I just couldn't handle not having gravity box, just because I use it for custom vibration patterns for notifications going to my watch.
I was also surprised how much I missed Active Notifications, especially the quick swipe to on when I pick it up. That was the feature I thought was the silliest when I bought the phone. Go figure... Back to eclipse I went.
