I've noticed that a couple of apps (TuneIn in particular) once I've run them show in the list of running apps long after I've stopped using the app. Does anyone have a recommendation for a task killer that I can set up to just kill one or two apps? I know a lot of folks don't like task killers or think they are needed, but I can't think of another way to get rid of these apps.
If you're rooted, greenify app. Its perfect for such things.

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.

gs. I am loving my Moto X running 4.4.2 except that recently the YouTube app has started causing huge drops in battery life. This is the latest app for YouTube as well. I've been force closing it to try and curb the drain, but it's still pretty annoying. I've also cleared data and reinstalled updates to the app to no effect. Advice?
Question... Out of that time, how long was you using it? Lol

I'm having the same problem with the app keeping the device awake. Are you having this problem while connected to Wi-Fi? If so, do you have a Chromecast active on your Wi-Fi network?

On and off Wi-Fi and yes to the Chromecast.
Try unplugging all your Chromecast active on your Wi-Fi network and use your device normally after a full charge.
I suspect Chromecast keeps the YouTube app running in the background when you're done casting videos. I have no evidence though.

It seems to continue even after I've left the house for the day but I'll try just disabling Wi-Fi tomorrow and see if anything changes. Interesting theory.
Again guys, greenify you tube and it won't cause any trouble while its hibernated.

In the past I always rooted my phone to install a slimmer rom and remove bloat, but with the X I've not needed to do that. I honestly have not felt the need to root and I'm looking for a solution that sees my phone's OS operating as it should that doesn't require rooting.

I'm not sure, cause I'm rooted...and I've many times had to convert you tube to a user app in order to greenify it.....so you may not be able to even do it unrooted if you tube is a system app on your phone....but greenify will work on unrooted phones now, wont it? I don't know the limitations with it tho unrooted.
But yeah, if that won't work...not sure what an unrooted phone can do about it....especially if its a system app.

Same issue: used YouTube for less than a minute today, battery has drained much faster than usual. YouTube accounts for 30% of battery used which is crazy. I always kill apps when I've finished with them so something odd is going on "behind the scenes"..

Anything you want but system apps.

I greenify Google Play Music, Amazon Appstore, and Maps.
Maps ****ing KILLS my battery. After I greenified maps, then Google+ app just replaced it as far as battery usage goes. I couldn't greenify it with the free version so I just disabled it. Now I get 20+ hours of battery.

Did Greenify ask for root permissions? Sometimes it doesn't so it has no way of hibernating the apps and that error is caused

Yep, root permissions granted. Really don't know why they don't sleep, all was OK when using it on my Note II.

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.

It's not pre-loaded on my XT1068 and the app from playstore says "Your device is not compatible" which makes sense cause the app is for Motorola phones on jellybean.
So I think moto G voice control will not work on actual phones, maybe someone can make the playstore app work but 90% of the commands are possible with Google Now, like call someone, send SMS, play song/songlist /album/interpret. Only the commands for start WiFi and similar ones are Motorola specific.
