[Q] Dialer in 4.4

Hello,
I just switched from a Nexus 4 to the Moto X (on T-Mobile, running stock). I noticed that my dialer in the Moto X is missing the Google Now functionality (it's not searching local businesses, etc)
Is this happening to anybody else? Is there a setting that I'm missing that turned the feature off?
I found a support entry from Google (Use caller ID by Google) but the option listed (Menu > Settings > Caller ID by Google) is not available on my phone.
I'm going to go home and check on my Nexus 4.
Never mind, I figured it out. Please delete me
Thanks!

Just what did you figure out?

Probably that it's a feature only available on Nexus devices.

Yeah, That's what I came up with... which is why I asked.

Ya I read in an article it didn't make the cut, but all you have to do is install it, it's posted the forums

Has anyone figured out how to get this working with the stock launcher? I'd really like to use the Google Dialer but I don't want to have to use Nova.

Use one of shortcut creating apps in the store. See thebdialer tread in Apps forum.

I'm assuming you're talking about the Google Experience Launcher like the Nexus 5 has? I have the Verizon version of this phone and my launcher is the same as yours....he installed something. Google "GEL launcher apk" and follow the instructions.
Here is the Launcher, I just installed it on my phone, no issues.

I installed GEL too. After that I couldn't use some moto features like the camera shake move. And the active notifications were gone as well.

Strange, I have it installed as well but I didn't lose any moto features. Did you install it as a system app?

I installed GEL without issue, as well.

Thanks for the link installed with no issues. As with any new launcher I restarted phone after install

Now it works flawlessly on my phone as well. Thanks

[CM11][Official] Cyanogenmod Support Dropped

As stated in this blog post we are now OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED BY CYANOGENMOD!!
As stated in this blog post:
Unified builds – Motorola G and more
First, we’re proud to announce that the Motorola G is now an officially supported device in CyanogenMod. This popular budget phone will carry the designation of ‘falcon’ – with a unified build for both the xt1032 and xt1034 variants. We are in the beginning stages of supporting the multi-sim capable xt1033, so please be patient as we work through that process.
Additional Motorola devices are also seeing the benefits of unification, and in the spirit of our last batch of unified builds, a handy list is provided for the newest batch:
Previous Motorola X and Droid Maxx Dev Edition: xt1053, xt1058, xt1060, xt1055 & xt1080 (latter two previously unreleased)
Now: moto_msm8960dt
Previous RAZR HD, Photon Q, Atrix HD, etc. : xt897, xt901, xt905, xt907, xt905, xt925, xt926, mb886 (and the former xt897c)
Now: moto_msm8960
The new ‘msm’ designations are based on the common architecture used in these devices. As always, source for these unified device projects are available on our Github.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_moto_msm8960dt
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_moto_msm8960
Nightlies for all of the devices mentioned above, including the Moto G, are now available.

Happy Flashing
UPDATE: SEP 17
We are no longer supported by Cyanogenmod:
we are officially dropping support for the ‘obake’ device (Moto Droid Maxx Dev Edition) moving forward. This change is in effect starting tonight. Existing Moto X users on the former ‘moto_msm8960dt’ device can update to ‘ghost’ builds without wiping. The obake support is officially being retired due to lack of a maintainer (and poor sales of the platform in general).

no, afraid it won't. It replaces the kernel and that's not possible with a locked bootloader.

I just flashed cm11, everything works smooth except that the signal is showing abnormal, it seems it has no signal but it has signal indeed, maybe a small bug that will be fixed in the future?

thank you for this cyanogenmod...the beginning of custom roms for the xt1080mdev

How to disable software buttons?

So, any obvious risks involved with me installing this on my bootloader unlocked XT1030? I notice that it's not listed in the supported devices.
Appreciate any info.

i dont think is gonna be any risk, but just in case, make a backup with twrp, install the rom and if it just doesnt boot, just restore your backup and youre on the road again.

In the spirit of adventure, I gave it a go. Installed and it booted up fine. Looks good so far, and seems to run very smoothly. Will have to do some more poking around and test things like calls, and such.
Updates: Found two issues with CM11 on my unlocked Droid Mini so far.
Soft buttons are showing. Looking for better solution still.
Workaround (by lesdense, thanks!):
- Set settings > interface > expanded desktop style: status Bar visible
- Power > expanded desktop
Note: Unfortunately, nav buttons still pop up in certain situations.
Using a T-Mobile SIM, only CDMA settings showed. I was unable to access any GSM or APN options.
Solution:
- Boot to fastboot (power off, press vol down + power, release power)
- fastboot oem config carrier tmo
Note: Other carrier options are "vzw" (default), "att", "sprint" (no clue if that works with this phone).
The phone now shows GSM options, and APNs for T-Mobile US, MetroPCS, Simple, and StraightTalk. Calls, SMS, and MMS work properly. Edge, 3G, H+, and LTE all negotiate properly, and hand-off properly during calls.
More updates as I have them. =)
Cheers!

My Droid Maxx can't be rooted (already on 4.4 when I got it) so I can't say for certain how to remove software buttons on the Maxx/Ultra/Mini but if it works like my rooted Razr Maxx HD then go to Settings, Interface, Expanded Desktop. Your choices are Disabled (default), Status Bar Visible (meaning the NavBar is removed but the Status Bar on top stays) or Status Bar Hidden. I like and use the Status Bar so I chose the second option. Then click the Power button, select Expanded Desktop and choose Enabled. You may have to reboot, I can't remember. But that has reliably gotten rid of software navigation buttons for me on several rooted Razr Maxx and Razr Maxx HD phones.

Are there any good xposed modules for the g flex?

I tried gravity box, only tested the status bar options and they didn't seem to work. I'm rooted.

Do all the options in the G2 Xposed Pro work for us then?

will using this hinder up from getting updates?

well, in order for xposed to work you must be rooted. And once your rooted the updates will fail, so....... yes. yes it will.

Actually this is wrong.....Rooting won't make the updates fail, a custom recovery would.
Sent from my LG-D959 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

No it won't hinder you from updates like pit bull said. But if you plan to keep the availability to root and customize your phone with xposed you will not want to take any updates. As soon as we get this bootloader / work around/ recovery figured out there will be no need to update to gain new software perks or enhancements. You will be able to flash the newest, smoothest, fastest, shiniest versions of the latest updates or android versions. Just like updating but the devs will fix any future lock downs built into the software and tweak them to be better all around than stock. So just like getting updates but BETTER!

well thats funny because I am rooted and have NO custom recovery (AT&T) and everytime my phone trys to update itself it fails and I get a message saying that since my phone is suspected of being rooted it cannot update....

is it worth rooting?

Previously I've used Samsung devices, which I root the moment I get them. I've tried stock and its horrible, rooting is pretty much necessary. But then I got this phone and its got just about everything I wanted in a ROM on my Samsung devices. What has been the experience of you lot? Is it that big of a difference?

It's just like everyone else says. 100% personal preference.

I root all my devices primarily for Xposed framework. It's something I pretty much can't live without. The stock ROM on the X is near flawless as is, so I have no desire to flash a custom ROM, but Xposed gives me the little flourishes that I like that aren't offered by the stock ROM.
Aside from flashing ROMs on your Samsungs, were there any root apps that you grew accustomed to using? Maybe Titanium Backup? If so, then root. If not, don't. You'll have an amazing experience either way.

Couple random little things, like viper4android, but your sentiment was the general mimpression I had as well.

It is all personal preference. I used to root for the Roms, but the Moto X 2014 is nearly perfect on stock. I still root because I like to be able to install an ad blocker and be able to reboot rather than just powering off.

Although I initially rooted my X on KitKat for xposed, I believe its perfectly good even left as stock. I only rooted after moving to Lollipop to reduce the DPI as that's the one thing about stock X that really gets on my nerves. Everything else is gravy.

I thought you could do this with an adb command and doesn't need root? Pretty sure that is the case.

It is, yeah. But I've always been more comfortable doing it via apps or build.prop editors..so..
Besides, I tend to change it around quite a few times till I've settled on one that suits me best. I'd rather not be tied down to a computer to do it. Rooting is just a one-time hassle so I prefer it that way. Plus, greenify, adblock, etc.
