Probably Getting Moto X Monday Couple of Questions

Was debating on Moto X vs Nexus 5. Was going with the Nexus 5 but was hesitant due to camera and speaker issues and with the cyber monday deal for the Moto X, I'm probably going with the Moto X but have a couple of questions.
1) Is there anything else from the Nexus 5 version of Kit Kat that didn't make it other than the business search/caller ID and the Google Experience Launcher?
2) If I side load the Google Experience Launcher, how does (or does) that affect the Moto hands free "Ok Google Now" and other hands free tools ie. I think i understand "OK Google" with the GEL only works on the home screen for the Nexus 5 but the Moto X works on any screen. Does one supplant the other, do they co-exist?
Thanks!

1) Well, if you also count the camera that comes with stock KitKat, then yeah. I think the only thing you'll be missing out on would be Photosphere though.
2) OK Google is completely vaporized, everywhere. You don't see it in Google Now, you don't see it in your home screen... essentially everything will be redirected to the Moto Touchless Control first.

I fixed both speaker and camera with mods and Google is coming out with a major camera software update specifically for the Nexus soon.
I was really on the fence about these 2 and went to the store to try the moto x again yesterday. The Nexus 5 screen is just so much better and amazing. That extra smidge of size makes all the difference to me, not sure why. But Moto X is amazing in many ways so you can't go wrong. I'll stick with my N5 and maybe consider a Moto X 2 when they enhance to quad core and 1080p...

Color Calibration

Hey guys!
I had a Moto X for about 2 weeks now. I previously had a Galaxy Nexus.
One feature I miss a lot is the capacity to calibrate my screen. I find the Moto X to be much warmer than i'd like it to be.
Any tips about this?

I've been wondering the same thing too. On my N5 I'm using Franco's app, but I'm guessing it won't be possible on this phone since there are no kernels out to support this.

[Q] which on is better new moto x or nexus 6 ?

hi all i want to know which on is better new moto x or nexus 6 ?
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6604&idPhone2=6649
because i love to try moto voice active "ok google now" and i dont know nexus 6 can support this option or not ?

For me, its gonna be the moto x... The 6 looks amazing and I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it was priced 499$ for 32 and 549$ for 64... But I'm not shelling out 649-699$ + tax and shipping for a phone.
I might buy it from T-Mobile on contract. But I'm going to wait for the reviews and see the size comparisons. If its not too big I'd consider it. But I'm really leaning on the x right now

The nexus 6 if you like big phones. The SD805 is much better (I have it in my G3 Cat 6) and the 5.96in screen will really let you see what L has to offer. Its not a bad price for the phone after all its the cheapest of the SD805 powered phones. AOSP should run great on this beast and I bet the battery life will be good as well because of the largish battery.

Both run near Stock Android, except the Nexus 6 will launch with Android L while the Moto X (2014) will get it in the upcoming weeks or months.
The Nexus 6 has a much better display, bigger battery, optical-image-stabilization and the option to have 64 GBs storage.
The Moto X (2014) is cheaper, smaller and more compact which makes it easier to use in the hand.
Weight the options and go for whichever fits your needs better. Can't go wrong with either, honestly.

any body know about motorola nexus voice activator ?

Ok Google is supported even from the lock screen in Android L on the nexus 6 and the 9. It's in another post around here that links back to google's site where it's stated.
Actually here is the link where it's stated by google ( scroll down and click on show all features, then search for "ok google" on the page and you'll find it )

Much better display? In what way is it better?

Sorry I should have made it more clear: it has a bigger display and higher resolution.

Yes it has Moto's Active Display which is called "ambient display" and Always-on "OK Google" now. But these are more of Android L features it seems, either way it has them.

something like motorola touchless control ?

But this is available using the Google Now Launcher on phones like the Samsung S4 when the phone is charging. After phrasing like that, it'd be crappy if it did only work if it was charging but it's still ambiguous.

Nexus 9.

No, it works just like Moto Touchless Control. "Even if your screen is off, you can say "OK Google" on devices with digital signal processing support such as Nexus 6 and Nexus 9"
As for active display: "Standby time (Ambient Display on ): up to 250 hours
Standby time (Ambient Display off): up to 330 hours"
^ Only devices with AMOLED / OLED screens are appropriate for that task. That's why they got rid of the outdated LED notifications.

Moto X ROM

I have been struggling with the decision between the Moto X (2014) and the Nexus 6. I have a Moto X (2013) Developer Edition now.
What it boils down to is battery life vs features.
Is there anyway to load a Moto X ROM onto a Nexus 6 and for it to work?

I struggled with the same process myself. I ended up with the Nexus 6 for the following reasons.
1) Nexus 6 has "OK Google" with screen off
2) Moto Assist (drive portion) features can be replaced with "Agent" app.
3) Dynamic Notifications is a good replacement for moto display but some quirks with lollipop still need to be ironed out.
4) Screen size
5) Battery, but I obviously have no idea how the moto x 2014 battery would handle my habits but I felt better about going with a larger battery over the 2300mah from the moto x. Better to start with a larger tank and adjust from there. I average 4.5 to 5 hours and I'm off the charger from 8am and the phone lasts me until 10-11pm most nights.
6) ease of modifying a nexus over most other phones. It took me a while to start modding my moto x 2014 because of the voiding of the warranty with unlocked bootloader and then the variable hoops to get the phone rooted. My experience on the nexus devices from before was so much simpler.
More than likely I would have gone with the Moto X 2014 IF the nexus 6 did not have OK google with screen off. Its a feature I didn't realize how much I used until I went from my moto x to my nexus 5 and now it's a must have feature for me.
Sacrifices I've made.
1) phone handling. The original moto x was just so easy to handle, with absolutely zero strain to reach anything. the 2014 I played with posed a few strains here and there so I figured if I have to strain a little here and there might as well do it with a phablet.
2) there are a few moto voice commands i miss like "what's up" and "where's my phone" but commandr for google now has added a lot more features w/o having to use tasker and autovoice.
3) bugs and quirks of being on lollipop. You may experience the same with Moto X 2014 since it's on lollipop as well.

i did not know about the off screen OK Google feature, thanks!!! loving my N6 more and more but i wouldnt mind Moto assist on it.

Which feature of assist do you want? If its the text to speech, Agent "do not disturb" is very similar.

Any word on the Moto X Pro release date?

I believe it was due this month some time.

I was wondering the same thing? I'm hoping this will help us get some of the moto x features (since they are better implementations) on the nexus 6.

Yeah, I've been wondering about the release too.
If this caused some of the Moto X goodies to come our way...
Seriously, I'd be excited as all hell.

I love my Nexus 6, but there are so many things about it/Lollipop that I think this could fix.
Priority Notifications instead of vibrate is annoying
No called twice option to push through a call
Active display isn't near as good as my wife's Gen 1 moto x

Well, it has now gotten an unboxing. It can't be long now.
