I just saw on moto news this.
https://plus.google.com/106984013892934805292/posts/FQoszHnY3sH
there is app updates for:
Motorola Gallery v304100
Motorola Camera v5.0.7.1
Motorola Help v1.4.32
Motorola Update Services v7.0.1
Motorola Contextual Services v5.18.063
Motorola Migrate v1.6.0.30
Moto app v2.2.8
here is the link
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/motorola-mobility-llc/
did anyone try to update, what is working and what is not?
The fact they are Moto updates means everything should be working Otherwise they probably wouldn't be released
So yes, clearly they are working. And working great. UI changes are meh though. And you can ALWAYS downgrade if the updates don't work
i upgraded camera - nothing seems new, new icon
then upgraded gallery - 5.0 icon, highlight reel added like on 2014 moto x
The camera and gallery work the rest do not work at all and break touchless for me
Has anyone else actually loaded and tried these
update: motorola mobility llc. decided to remove all .apks from website, so who downloaded and installed enjoy new updates and everyone else, wait for OTA which will be coming soon
Anyone have these apks that they can share?
Just curious, thanks.
Can anyone upload the moto contextual services 5.18.063？The file in the apkmirror is not found, many thanks……

Camera and gallery would be nice.
Here you are... This is the one i downloaded... Just tell me if it works

Many thanks…I download the service,but it failed to install…Mine is droid razr maxx,i think it is the question…The moto assist ported in my phone works fine, just the home mode could not work, i think it belongs to the moto contextual service issue.so i want to the new version

Thanks they all worked here except for one.
i can't download.... why?
Thanks, I couldn't get them to download properly but I'll try again from my desktop. Maybe mediafire isn't liking the mobile download right now.
I got all working from my phone thanks! I had to remove assist and reboot before the new moto apk would install. Thanks for posting! All worked for me.
Update. Moto app installs but says it is not for this device.
My touch less display still works fine also.
What do you mean by remove assist?

Made a back up with titanium back up and uninstalled it after. Rebooted, then installed moto.apk however when launching moto it says its not compatible with device. So I deleted moto and restored assist. So all worked for me except the moto.apk no issues with them yet as well.
yes... moto app is not working but it will be in future, i think that is one of main reason why they removed all apks (who apply for soak testing probably know what am i talking) and the other reason is when ppl install context and update services it mess up their statistic...

Anyone try it yet? Might have to do some engineering to work with our resolution, but curious if it installs/works. Would love to see if that multi-frame buffer feature works.
EDIT: apk for camera and gallery were posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55296808&postcount=1
Gonna try it out.
EDIT2: Ok I tried it. Installs right over top. Nothing seems changed/improved, but it is recognized as a newer version.
I tested, and my videos are getting a ultra weird clicks in audio...
Anyone have the original camera from 4.4.4 ?
Here is the camera.apk from the new moto x works 100% tested......

Working fine here, you can uninstall updates in app info to get back to previous version.
what is the reason going from the old one to this?
doesnt the new camera app have a "best shot" function or something? is it not on this apk?

i've been running the apk since it was made available and i've never received the notification.
I was just exploring random things on the M Preview and found an app called "com.motorola.triggerenroll" I downloaded QuickShortcutMaker on the Play Store and attempted to open it, but I got the error in the screen shot below. Has anyone else seen this? Also, is there a way to get this working? And, more importantly, is this actually a sign Moto Actions is coming to the Nexus 6? Or, is it the more likely scenario of wishful thinking on my part?
It's on lollipop as well. Don't know what it does

I posted this on Reddit and somebody pointed out an AOSP commit that says this is for the OK Google everywhere command. Although I disabled this app and was able to set it up just fine, so it seems pretty pointless.

its for ok google to work, when the screens off and not plugged in. its part of how we got it to work on all roms, back in december. since it wasnt included in aosp for some odd reason.
For anyone wanting to have the Motorola Camera on a custom rom,
or one with more options,
check out this thread by S0bes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/themes-apps/app-camera-galery-t3216944
I can confirm that it works great with the AICP rom
and the CM12.1 rom
This is an installable APK, not a system app, so it doesn't replace the system camera.
thanks for the heads up. cool to use on stock rom too bc you can turn noise reduction completely off which takes away that oil painting look. nice!
Sent from my Moto X Pure Edition
worked great on a rooted stock rom clark... tnks!!!
Thanks for this but I just can't get it to work a hundred percent. It's like the touch screen is just off. On initial start up I have to hit the back button to get off the start up screen. I can't get the video camera to work cause when I tap on the video icon it just takes a pic. I can barely mess with the settings because half the icons won't do a thing when I tap on them.
It's like the screen calibration is bad.
I've uninstalled, reinstalled and redownloaded the apk. Wiped data within the app. I'm running AICP. Didn't work right on the 10/14 build and still not working with the 10/16 build.
Any suggestions? Is this working fine for anyone else?

I am running the latest AICP 10/16,
I don't have any of the issues that you are describing,
the buttons all work when they are pressed
and the screen focuses and takes a picture where I touch the screen
Did you change your screen density off of the default 560 dpi?
Also I haven't changed any of the settings in the Moto Camera, just using it the way it installs at this time.
I had issue when changing DPI on the screen, all the icons didnt res correctly. I just used Xposed with App Settings and set the original DPI... It worked a treat
Thanks guys yeah I changed my DPI I'm sure that's the issue. I've used that Xposed Module before I'll go ahead and get that up and running.
Thanks again I should have thought about the DPI.
so nice to be able to turn off that bad noise reduction that happens even in daylight... pictures look so much better. I wish there was a way to set this to be the main camera app when you do the twist motin.

can confirm, but I think the previous posters were talking about using the apk on non-stock roms. hence the need for xposed twist mod.
Just a word of caution. I tried replacing my /system/priv-app/ apps (MotCamera and MotGallery2) with these on stock and it broke my build. Even after reverting the files, it was so screwed up that I had to do a nandroid restore to recover. It might be because of the package names.

It might be because these are specifically designed to NOT be put into the priv-app,
they are designed to be a separate APK that runs in addition to the camera.
There are other attempts elsewhere that try to replace the built-in camera, but all of them I tried break various other things on the phone.
Also is why the following line is in the Op

Is your system still odexed? Was there an arm folder in the same folder with the apk? If so and you didn't delete it when replacing the apk, that is most likely the issue.

So i tried this, and I was able to replace the system app. However it wouldn't work with the twist motion (probably package name.
The deodexed stock has the gallery features built in, so I was able to get the default camera to expose its features though moto checkbox and it works with moto assist.

I'm looking to strip out the proprietary bloatware that came preinstalled on my device (already got rid of a bunch of amazon stuff via the ADB), and I'm wondering how much of the moto crap I can get rid of too without losing my ability to get automatic security updates. Right now I'm looking at Moto, Moto Actions, Moto App launcher, Moto Display, and Motorola Notifications. I'm looking at going to a different launcher, and I'm just trying to work out which of these apps is essential for the phone to continue functioning properly. If it's safe to do, I would also appreciate some help finding those package names so I can nuke them via ADB as well.
Update: did more research. Stripped out everything aside from the moto app launcher that I replaced with Evie. Only reason it's still installed is the fact that I can't work out the actual APK name.

AT&T, but I got it unlocked from amazon. I ended up using the ADB to remove all of the amazon crap as well as almost all of the moto proprietary stuff, (I only left the launcher I think) and it's been fine so far.

So why bother keeping the launcher if you went with another? I'm about to remove em all too but I'm on Google Fi's Android One version. I don't think I need any of Motorola's bloatware and I hate the idea of excess apps taking my space, RAM, and battery EVER.
I am surprised there's no one else chiming in on what's needed to o keep her functional. I like lean and mean

Hey all. For anyone that hasn't already done so, the gallery app from the V40 (I'm guessing) is compatible with our devices. Personally feel it's a big improvement over the original.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/lgele...-release/gallery-7-0-45-android-apk-download/
Edit: I've also updated the stock camera and quick memo apps using the current ones on apk mirror and they work well. Mileage may vary on all of this as I'm running a bunch of magisk modules (anxious by whiskeyomega for example which already mods the camera) so that's why I'm not giving a feature run down of each since it may differ on stock devices.

That's the same camera version in my module, Whiskeyomega (not tagging to not bother them) was just where the needed code for the dual speaker and DAC code was from.
Warning for others: Anyways you should always be weary of updating OEM apps via regular install methods (outside of the Play Store) as they aren't always uninstallable via regular methods. And you'll have to delete the data/app/*app name* folder in twrp if you ever end up with a non boot or something.
Also if you ever do want the updated versions from newer phones just download roms, kdz, dumps and extract what you want. You can get newer stuff sooner.

Very good point. I made the mistake of assuming everyone has a recent backup....
Just now I almost had to restore my phone thanks to some apks that I wanted to try out. So please don't be a guinea pig with this kind of thing unless you know you can revert back to a working version if the worst happens. (For reference I tried updating system ui, network, and settings packages that were all just posted recently and ended up uninstalling those due to system ui loop and then subsequent crashes)
That being said, the gallery app seems like a pretty safe update across the devices but everyone's risk is their own to take.

You can uninstall an OEM app that you tried to install but didn't work. Just go to Apps & notifications/App info/ then choose your app. If your OEM app doesn't have the uninstall option, look at the top right for the three dot menu, then select uninstall updates. Now your back to where you started.
