[Q] Why Moto X 4.4.4 (2013) still on old launcher? - Moto X Q&A

Hello everyone,
I am using 2013 Moto X which is currently on 4.4.4 and it is having old launcher where the icons are small etc.
My wife is using 2014 Moto G which is also on 4.4.4 but got a small update couple of days back in which the launcher got updated to the google now launcher where the icons are big and swiping to the left brings up the google now page.
I know that google now launcher is available on play store but why is Moto X not getting the update where the google now launcher is stock?

Since when is the Google Now Launcher stock on the Moto X?

Ya I know its not stock on Moto X but then again why is it stock in the Moto G (2014)?

It is stock on the 2014 Moto X.
I personally prefer the AOSP launcher over the Google Launcher.

But why don't we get the google now launcher on the 2013 moto x
Will we see if when the 2013 moto x gets android l

You can install the Google Now Launcher in the 2013 X, it just isn't installed by default. This is partially due to the fact that it only recently became available for all on the Play Store. I really think this is all a non-issue since it is available, it just isn't installed as the default as in the 2014 line (X and G). It will likely be included as default with L, but we won't know for sure until the 2013 X gets Android L.

as of right now there is nothing. if you install the apk for the new moto voice it will install but you cannot finish settign up the hotword detection probably because of hardware issues.
When motorola announced the new X they said they will bring the moto suite to deviced whose hardware will support it. but i see no reason why the 2013 moto x won't get the update seeign as those its hardware was designed with voice recognition in mind. the chip has 2 cores set aside for that purpose but for now time will tell. im sure if for some reason moto doesnt bring the suite to the old X someone will than port them to the old X
i find it...

[Q] Features from the Moto X (2014) to be backported to 2013 Moto X

Hi all,
Just wanted to start a discussion about the feasibility of porting all of the Moto X (2014) features to the Moto X 2013.
I'd like active notifications with the 3 icons; also the feature that keeps the screen on if you are looking at the screen.
Not so important (for me at least) is custom "OK google now" command, and i guess the floating notifications dismiss can't be done...
Any thoughts on the hardware supporting this since we have the X8 coprocessors and Moto X (2014) uses the snapdragon SOC to implement these feature?
Your answer could've been found me searching: https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z12bv5ibcozrilhw304cjrnj1nf3sbbjejw

MOTO X 2014, Android 5.1 Update

Was just searching the net for past 2 days.... as soon as android 5.1 was released, there is not even a single news/ Rumors about moto x and android 5.1, So i figured
Lets Start a new thread, and something or the other is bound to come up!, got my android L update for MOTO X european version from right here so i figured lets start here.
if anyone has any information let us hear it
from what i found, there's some news on moto g running android 5.1, moto x 2013 being considered.
does that mean, we have lost the top priority :fingers-crossed:
i seem so eager coz this 5.1 is REALLY stable, i have got a nexus 6, just updated it... its smoother, some pesky bugs before, nothing now.
~~~~my moto x is suffering from bluetooth audio stuttering , among other bugs.
Did you see any change in camera quality on your Nexus6?
I mean do you think the new 5.1 will make the MotoX able to shoot in RAW and Camera-2 API will now be supported? Because that is the biggest thing which needs improvement in MotoX, and performance boost will be a boon, rest it seems stable on 5.0 as well.

Interesting, i can check it out , if someone can guide me how to .
P.s. the camera sensor itself is older version so don't expect it to be too good, samsung, oneplus one , oppo , nexus 6 all high end devices in latter 2014 use IMX 214 or IMX 240.. which are both 2014 released sensors ... On the other hand MOTO X uses IMX 135, which is released on JANUARY 2013, 2 years old now, Motorola has a reputation for increasing their, profits by using atleast one old part in their fabulous devices (HINT: moto 360, ti processor is sooo old, its parent company stopped supporting it and it drains battery too, could have easily used snapdragon400 but.... moto)
Moto X Pure Edition ( XT1095)
Well I'm searching daily for Moto X 2014 android 5.1 update but I'm not able to find anything. I had Nexus 6 I sold one week before 5.1 update, but I've tried it on my brothers Nexus 5 and its was really fast, especially the dialer app feels snappy now(but that was factory reset so not confident about that yet)..
Would love to hear more about Moto X 2014 android 5.1 update

Motorola contacted people about a week ago about participating in a soak test for the Pure Edition. So far the update hasn't rolled out to anyone.

As @chrisrozon says, there is no oficial release out yet of 5.1 for any victara (xt1095, xt1097, xt1092, etc). What is "out there" is a leaked soak test OTA. It's working but clearly unfinished; it has some serious battery draining wakelocks for some people.
Anyway, as soon as 5.1 is officially released (or after a few days if you're cautious), most people with non pure versions will be able to flash it and use it without reflashing original modem, since the new baseband of the xt1095 has been modified to work internationally. At least in latinamerica many of us could use the 5.1 soak with no baseband modification.
So if you're planning to convert your moto x to pure edition, i advice to do it once the 5.1 official release is out.
Cheers!
Manuel.

Add Moto Actions etc

Is there anyway to add Moto display, actions, and etc that is on Moto X 2014? I understand if this is possible I'd have to run a custom ROM.
At the moment, No.
The Moto X Pro that is releasing in China is a rebranded Nexus 6 with no Google services/apps. However will have all the Moto apps such as Display and Voice w/ all the others.
Some people have been theorizing since it will have the same chipset and internals as our Nexus 6 that a system dump of the X Pro could allow the possibility of porting over these features.
No word on when there will be a system dump or if there will be one or even if porting would work. All we can do is wait.
