Decent ROM with active display working? - Moto X Q&A

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.

Navigation Ring, Quick Setting and Ribbon

Hi,
I have the AT&T model, stock build 4.2.2 before the camera patch.
There is a navigation ring (swipe from nav bar). The single entry is Google Now. I can't find any way to change it.
There is no ribbon.
Quick setting is there. However, I can't change it (add or remove).
I've gone through the settings but could not find anything. I am probably missing something really obvious.
Can anyone point me to the right direction?
Thanks
You can't change those on stock.

How about 4.4? Same?

Pretty sure those are all AOKP rom features that you are looking for.

That's sad. I thought Moto is closer to stock. My wife has all these on SGS4.

Moto is closest phone to stock, the SGS4 has more thing added by Samsung.
Root and use gravitybox and you can do most of those things

I just got OTA update to camera patch. So step 1 of SlapMyMoto done . Won't have time probably till Tue.

I think I misunderstand this whole thing. I always thought close-to-stock means openness (and thus customization). I guess that's not the case at all
Is there an app can change some of them (the first annoying is goolge now) without rooting?
Thanks
Settled in SwithPro
Actually, Widgetsoid appears to be better.
The only missing piece now is how to change the navigation ring. Minimally, I want to disable it!

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.

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.

Any app to change the default "twist" camera?

I would love to get rid of the crappy Moto Camera app when I use the twist for camera feature. I remember that the 1st Gen had an app, wondering if anyone has found one that works for us here.
It was called twisty switch. If I remember correctly it was an Xposed module.
Crap so nothing on 5.0 that we know of.

You can use tasker to set that up. Not quite as good as stock moto, but still.

Looking for something different rom wise

I have a nexus 6, iver tried all the roms. I love the phone, but getting tired of the blandness of the os's. Does anyone know of any unique roms or anything? Yes, i know its a nexus rom and i bought it for the true google experience. BUT, its very customization as well. so i dont want to hear the whole its a nexus argument please.
If your looking for a ROM that's loaded with features, I'd suggest Blisspop.

damn, thanks man. I remember when i have my galaxy nexus, it was so much for visually appealing. could change everything in the status bar, icons, move anything where i wanted, and everything else. from kitkat on, i havent been able to mod anything besides battery, even then its pushing it. If i could develop something i would, not skilled in coding. Thanks for the reply though!

Apparently can do some of those changes in Xposed. I don't use or recommend Xposed as it breaks a lot of other things. Most logcats we see with problems show Xposed as the culprit. Xposed should only be used with stock as it breaks a lot of rom mods.

I used to change a lot and use a lot of roms. Now I basically run stock with theme and the mods I need hardcoded. Having every mod in the book just causes problems. lol

Yes. Never been anything else that even remotely approaches JBSourcery. What a grand time that was. I had steam punk icons and boot animations, dragons and wizards wallpaper, and could change it around in almost limitless ways.

I run encrypted. You really only see the difference in download. Read/write speed. I probably make most of it up running odexed verses rom deodex. Mine fast. Everything immediate. No waiting.

What magisk rom are u using and why?

I'm currently using Renovate ICE. I like it because of features like edge lighting and auto HBM. Plus a very responsive Dev team.
Renovate because it implements additional features to OOS, whereas others seem to focus more on optimizations and debloating, which I am not interested in.
Renovate makes stock OOS feel kind of like OOS+, or what OOS should be by default.
Was on renovate but it didn't really give me anything i absolutely needed so just running custom kernel and a few other magisk mods. Waiting for AOSP to get all the kinks out.

Hey,
Never tried this rom before. Could you please a picture of the Edge lighting feature and how it works comparing to the stock OOS?
Is it true that you have to pay subscription to use Renovate ? Or it is free version of it?

Currently it's like the horizon lighting. But the dev is working on getting it to light up like a led.
