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

Just flashed a custom 4.2.2 N7 rom and sure enough, it's there - interesting enough, it's showing up also on my HTC DI2 running GingerBread (custom rom written over a year ago,) no prompt or option to cancel/postpone or decline, just auto-updated (except that it did not have the Location & Search sub-menu like the N7)
Suffice to say - easily integrated without crashing or freezing, enhancement across the board for all Google devices ... I think. :highfive:
The icon looks very unattractive. Now my app drawer has 3 similar icons side by side that are blue (Google Search), green (Google Settings), and red (Google+)
Hhmm, I don't have it. Dirty AOKP. I'll reboot and see
..
OK, after reboot it's there.
Now my Galaxy Note 2 stock 4.1.2 rooted got this...
It came with recent update of Google Play

Kitkat exchange issue work around?

Hey all-
With the while exchange email issue with kitkat how is everybody accessing their mail? I am using the lite version of touchdown for my email but I do not love it, is there a better app out there? Or better yet is there a non-rooted work around to use the default mail app?

I'm using cloudmagic. It's OK, but I prefer the stock app. I don't know of anyway to fix the issues with the stock app.
Have you looked at Aqua Mail?

I have used EE (Enhanced Email) for a while. It allows you to skip the exchange enforcement rules, and is based off stock android client.
I will try out EE I gave aquamail a test drive and did not love it

What Exchange issue are you talking about? There is some issue with pushing but if to change in setting to poll every 5, 10, 15 or whatever minutes instead of push it works OK. Definitely is not necessary to use 3rd party email app for this.

How does this work if the Moto X has Email.apk and Exchange.apk instead of EmailGoogle.apk and Exchange2Google.apk?
I was following another thread but it hasn't been updated with a non-flashable set of files (I don't have a custom recovery).

your talking to users who are likely NOT rooted (such as myself). This method doesn't work unless you're rooted. The manifests don't line up between the two installs, which prevents EmailGoogle.apk from installing on the X (without root).
The only way around this issue is to use a third party app or keep an eye on your account settings and if something is stuck (syncing now), uncheck sync and re-check.
I just stay on 4.2.2 until they release 4.4.2. It's not worth the effort.
Try MailWise (beta) from the Play Store. It's replaced the default email app to access email from Exchange servers. Pretty impressive app for stability, features, and developer responsiveness.

[Q] Cyanogenmod Moto x Sprint/Ting but banner says verizon

So I have a Moto x that I bought from ting. I unlocked the bootloader through the Motorola website. Then I flashed a nightly Cyanogenmod 11 room through TWRP custom recovery. All works well through ting. But the unlock screen and notification tray say Verizon wireless.
Anything I can do about That?
Also does anyone know when active notifications or touches or control might be added? Or can I add them myself?

What's ting? And good luck with seeing any of the Moto-specific apps getting added to CM. Grab them off the Play Store, I have no idea of they'll work or not.

The play store tells me they are not compatible with my device. Ting is an mvno carrier that uses Sprints network. When you call them during normal business hours a live human answers the phone, and the pricing is quite good. I highly recommend them.
Maybe I will go back to stock Android 4.4 and simply have root. Now I have to figure out how to do that.

That is the direct link to the download. It works great on my phone. But I miss the two features that make the moto x the moto x. Without the active notifications and touchless control I may as well get a Nexus 5.

CM11 Note 3 and Gear Manager

I was wondering if anybody has a note three and install the new CM 11 and I was wondering how gear manager in the features work. Like notifications
sent from my Note 3 or Galaxy Gear
Non will work ... It needs TW Framework I hope someone can built a hybrid that allows full noti's on the Gear...
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Iv experimented with this a little.
The strange thing is there's absolutely no activity when notifications are received on the phone using CM11 in regards to pushing to the gear. No errors nothing !
The APK used to detect if a notification comes in installed no problem.. its quite strange.
Yes @fOmey I have also experimented with it the only ones I could not get installed by titanium backup from a TouchWiz rom was the apk for s voice and weather. Also I got a few force closes after I reboot but it runs pretty fine I was actually surprised it was as easy as a titanium backup

you can download the seperate apk from the gear manager to install them individually. This way you should be able to get everything to work on a custom rom. NOTE weather and media controller DOESNT install in my experience so these features will not work

I did the same as you, I even had a load of tests with frameworks and whatever. I'm no advanced android developer, but afaik, isn't possible to make this work without the whole thing together, unless someone makes the touchwiz framework works in some AOSP rom.

Anyone tried to use the Google enhanced launcher? From N5?

I have a nexus 5, and love the newer KK launcher. I have my tf701 ordered and shipped but not delivered yet. Just wondering if anybody tried using the launcher?
http://nexus7.wonderhowto.com/how-t...erience-launcher-your-nexus-7-tablet-0149714/
Looks like it works with other tablets and phones too. It adds a Google now screen if you swipe all the way to the left and makes the bottom bar through. I don't it would hurt anything seeing as it is just an APK. Shouldn't need root or anything like that.

I thought it needed KitKat to work?
I think it will work on anything with jelly bean or newer. I'm not a hundred percent sure though. When I get my tablet in I will install it and give it a try.
Here's another thread about it.

I think a lot of it had to do with the Google Play services that were provided now. If you update completely Google now Google Voice, I think the google it. Launcher installed with just one apk.

I'm still on version 0.9.6.886092 because i can't update the google now launcher, probably because the TF701 doesn't has 4.4 yet. But it works fine =)
