Moto X features on Nexus 6 - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This has probably been asked before but a search didn't yield any satisfying responses either way.
The Moto X has a handful of features unique to itself that are very nice to have. I had the first generation and fell in love with it. With my Nexus 6 I love having the Nexus feel, but I want some of the features.
Have any ROMs ported over some of the software features of the Moto X? Some features are in Lollipop, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried to port over the gesture to launch the camera, or try to port over the breathing active display (Google's variant is very underwhelming and not very responsive to light changes). Since Motorola made the hardware, I wasn't sure if there was some cross compatibility, or if any attempt had been made.

N5 getting Moto X always listening feature in future update?

from this article by the verge, it seems like n5 will get an update that will add always listening feature in mid november? or am i understanding this article incorrectly given that it's true?

I was under the impression that the N5 had this out of the box...
Reading the comments, opinion seems divided. I thought it wouldn't be able to cos of different processor.
Also, I think the update he's referring to is the update that happened last week with launch of 4.4.
That does seem to be what the article is saying:
Speech recognition is receiving some upgrades as well. With the update you'll be able to wake up your Nexus 5 and search just by saying "OK, Google," like on the Moto X.

I would take it with a grain of salt, however.
n5's listening mode currently only works in homescreen unlike the moto x. it doesn't work through sleep or lockscreen.

Nope. If you're on the homescreen you can "OK Google" to start a search but it won't do it if the screen is off like the Moto X.
the verge has a pretty good track record and honestly with the hardware ability to do this function its a no brainer that it will be altered in the future

Me too, because the article is about Android Kitkat, not the Nexus 5 specifically. And we know that a dedicated chip is required to have this wakup by voice function (otherwise the phone will not be able to enter deep sleep). So if it were true, the article would have mentioned that the chip is present.
Therefore the article quote should be read this way in my opinion:
With the update you'll be able to (manually) wake up your Nexus 5 and (then) search just by saying "OK, Google," like on the Moto X.

i read conflicting info on n5's hardware capability to imitate moto x's always listening feature. i know the snapdragon 800 has a mini coprocessor of some sort that allows always listening, but i also read somewhere that its a bit different from the dedicated low power core moto x has. regardless , i hope it's true. i was swaying toward moto x for a bit before committing to n5 cause of this feature.

It is different because it's backed into Snapdragon here, but it's exactly the needed thing. Samsung took advantage of it in Note 3. You can wake it up by saying "Hi Galaxy".

This.
Technically it's not a separate core, but rather one of the cores runs at a low speed when doing mundane tasks. This *does* work with the screen powered off, which is how the Note 3 can be awoken with voice.
I would imagine it will get added with an option to control whether it's on or off in settings.
I'm hoping that it gets added with an update as well. I read the verge's comment the same way as a lot of people that an update to the google search coming in the next few weeks would add the wake by voice feature; but it could just be poor phrasing.

i ordered a n5 (to lock in my inventory) but i might return it for a motox because touch-less controls (and active notifications) are just too useful...

The s-800 chip does have a dedicated component to do similar things such as motion sensing and always on listening, so perhaps this can be repurposed. i do believe qualcomm demoed this, it just may not be as power friendly as the moto x

Sorry but The Verge article is misleading. They are talking about the KitKat update that is already available. And we already know it can't be done while the screen is off. If this was truly coming, Google would be singing it from the hilltops. I think the article needs to be updated to clear up that obvious error.

Would not be surprising
Read somewhere the low power core stuff is being used for other sensors like pedometer instead. So not likely to be in a future update as it would kill other features. May be possible via custom rom/kernel.

Always Listening PROOF of Concept

Hey Nexus 5 owners,
Just saw this break my news feed:
https://plus.google.com/106978520009932034644/posts/H4CiUhBRghi
Proof that we can have Always Listening on the nexus 5. Hopefully this gets some big attention because it's one of the most wanted Moto X features available!
Sorry if this is a double post, but I don't think so considering it's 6 hours old.
Incredible! This deserves to be posted in general!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Rated newsworthy. Hopefully this gets featured on the portal and gets the attention it deserves. Can't wait to see what comes of this! Thanks for the post.
That would be so awesome if they could port that; it's the feature I miss from my Moto X the most (besides Active Display)
This is amazing because they can use that hack to use the low powered core for other features like tap on and music playing.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
would be awesome making it usable for every N5 owner! Looking forward to it!
I'm surprised that this has not caused the Nexus 5 forum to XpLoDWilD. Guillaume does some excellent work.
I to think this a big seller for X. I am anxious to see what the X2 is like. But also really love me N5.
I read somewhere that we can't have always listening because it needs trademark from nuance, both moto x and note 3 have it but nexus 5 doesn't.

The main reason we don't have an always listening feature is because of the complications and licensing at the hardware level. Google chose to use the low-core processor for a step counter, which I think is a lot less useful thank touchless control. Hopefully Guillame can prepare a version free of copyright infringement or trademarks/licensing and allow us N5 users to make full use of our S800!

Sorry for the slow reply! I was debating between general and apps but ultimately chose this section because I thought it was more related to an app, but I still hope everyone sees it It's proof that our S800 chip is capable of more than just a pedometer.
You can message a mod and ask them to move it for you. It would definitely get more attention there.
I agree. I would much rather have the always listening feature instead of a pedometer. I still have my Virgin Mobile step counter/pedometer from my old job. I can't login to the site anymore or anything, but it still works fine if I want to keep track of my steps.

As the deal was they sell moto to lenovo for stock and cash and keep a handful of patents but the rest goes to lenovo question is did they keep that active listening patent

I hope google kept that feature since that was the most talked about feature of the Moto X. Maybe the next Nexus will have that feature.

Nexus 6 Notifications

One of my last hang ups on getting the Nexus 6 is how it will handle notifications. I know it will have Ambient Display, but from what I have been able to read, its not going to pulse like the Active Display of the normal Moto phones. Has anyone seen how the Nexus 6 will handle notifications yet?
This is exactly what I'm trying to find out, i keep checking all the unboxing and first hands on video and reviews
and they just keep talking about the size, specs and camera, i might have to pass on this nexus if it doesn't pulse in some form, i just can always keep picking up my phone check for a message.
Yep. If it doesn't pulse or blink or something, it will be a poor choice. Knowing you have a notification from across the room or in a dark room, is one of the things I like about 95% of Android phones.
The last phone I had without an LED light was the GS2, and I had to use other means.
It seems like such a simple request for anyone with the phone to check as well. Every unboxing and first impressions video I have watched (far too many) have all said that "it has moto x like notifications and that's a good thing" but every time they show the settings it doesn't indicate that it pulses or breathes. I was hoping that DL would have answered this question when they got their test units, but even they haven't yet.
I'm pretty sure Google knows it's silly to send a visible notification only once. I'm confident they've incorporated some form of pulse or renotification of some kind. Fingers crossed
In any case if it is or not just remember this. ITS A SOFTWARE FEATURE.
I mean come on guys, we are XDA. If its not perfect I am sure one or some of us here will be able to modify the feature to allow whatever we want. The feature is baked into 5.0 android now and is Open, all we have to do is work on a expanded settings system to customize it if it already does not have one. Hell if Xposed gets properly ported to ART we can surely see a module for it!
Stop acting like its the end of the world if it does/doesn't have the exact feature of software design as the Moto X. Its a software feature and if demand needs it I am sure we will find a way to make it happen. Have faith in XDA and the Developers.

Its definitely not the end of the world. I'm not being dramatic and condemning the phone if it doesn't have it. Just looking for an answer to what I hope Google realizes is a basic need. I've been rooting and roming since the OG Droid days here so I know what XDA can do, I just don't believe this is a feature that I should need to rely on the Devs here to create.
First of all, it's something you can turn off. So if it doesn't work the way you want it to you don't have to use it.
Google is also pushing Android Wear which makes anything like Moto Display (ie Active Display) pointless cause you can see it on your wrist faster anyway.

The battery on the G watch is really great actually.
And if you don't want Android wear, don't buy it. But that's where Google is going so some features that used to be present on phones that aren't as necessary now will potentially be removed.
Ambient display on N6 works similar to Moto X. It will pulse when the notification arrives. After that it will pulse every few minutes, in an adaptive time period - the longer you don't pick it up, the period between pulses will increase.
And of course custom rom's will be able to tweak this, I hope.

Seems very unreliable, he had to try multiple times. Also why is pick up to activate so unreliable?
I really wish they'd copied the Moto version and added the sensors.
this seems like it will just nuke the battery in comparison to an LED.... I may end up just leaving this off.
won't this turn on constantly in a pocket as well?

Moto X Pro

Now that Moto is making a version of the Nexus 6 but with their software for China will it be possible to port moto assist/moto voice and display? It would be great if we could get these feature on the Nexus 6 and since this is identical in every way except for it not saying Nexus and having motos software tweaks.

No, the Moto ones are much better. Goto a carrier store and try Moto voice and display and then let me know if you still think they are the same. Ambient display isn't as good as the Moto one, and google now is nice (and used with moto voice) but you can't use custom commands with it.
My favorite thing about my wife's moto x is to be able to twist the phone twice to activate the camera. Theres some other cool features she has that I don't but that is by far my favorite

The twist to activate camera is cool, I really like the moto display because its a better version of the ambient display on the Nexus even though the Moto has both. I wouldn't trade my Nexus for the Moto, I just want the Moto tweaks. I do like the voice commands and how you can make up any phrase to activate it (which can be funny sometimes depending on what you use)

Most of the internet agrees that ambient display is far nicer than motorola, actually showing you the notification instead of just the fact that there is one.
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/0...-display-is-a-very-cool-take-on-moto-display/
What they say about not being able to use sensors (proximity/IR/motion) to refresh the ambient display is.... not entirely true. AOSP 5 does have ALL of this provision in the source code, but it has to be activated with an appropriate sensor (if available).
As for custom commands with google now... you really should look into this more, since there *are* ways to do that with google now. For example, tasker with autovoice.
As far as the quality of voice dictation goes, the google implementation (which probably uses the same backend) is pretty solid... as far as voice recognition goes.

I understand where you are coming from but some people including myself prefer the Moto display. I don't care if I can't gesture over it, I just like the way the Moto Display looks compared to the ambient one. If it could work without the added sensors (which it will since the X Pro will likely have this) then I'm fine with that.
I know there are ways to implement the custom voice commands, however its more natural the way that its done on the X. I have tried some other alternatives but I wasn't a fan of them. The Nexus 6 has a low power chip for active listening if I recall correctly so this shouldn't be a issue if and when we can port those features over.
I also wouldn't say that the "majority of people prefer the ambient display" we can't generalize things like that because after all statistics can be very bias and wrong if they are not collected correctly. I have seen reviews including AP (android police) who stated they liked the Moto version better, but again its user preference.
I'm not saying you are wrong at all, I would just prefer the Moto tweaks on my Nexus phone because I like them.

I'm mostly on board with you. I like the ambient display looks vs moto display but I wish the screen wouldn't light up fully when interacting with the notification. In my opinion it totally defeats the purpose of having it black and white. Ambient display is inconsistent in which sometimes it doesn't come up. Moto display is the better functioning of the two.

Don't forget moto display with moto assist has a night mode which went light up the screen when you're sleeping or in a movie. Of course you could use priority notifications but this is more convenient in my opinion.

Neither removed it. You have to sign up with the community, then click on the link to join the beta, and wait for it to show up for you in the Play Store (some show up in minutes, one or two took over an hour to show up after joining both). This is how pretty much all of betas through the Play Store are handled. I just checked and put screenshots attached to this post.

[REQUEST] Moto Display CM 12.1 Port

Here is a zip file on my Google Drive containing a full backup of all the Moto apps (Display, Actions, Voice, Assist) from SU4TL_44. Would one of you kind developers please port these to cm or your own custom ROMs? Please&thank you
[Update] Thanks to @ChazzMatt for pointing out that this has already been done over on the Moto Maxx forums, which got split due to us Turbo owners getting jealous.
Why would you want this? CM already has ambient display which works just as well (I personally think it works better but that's just my opinion).

Oh, I meant all the Moto apps. I really like the ability to customize the voice commands launch phrase like saying "hey droid turbo" instead of "ok google." And the simplicity of Moto actions far surpasses Tasker and the like for things like setting vibrate mode at work.

CM has all the features that stock has other than being able to change the launch phrase, and I doubt anyone cares enough to take the time to port it. If you can't live without it just stay on stock.
Edit: Not trying to be a jerk, but CM 12.1 still has bugs that need to be worked out for the Maxx/Turbo and we still don't have VoLTE officially which I would assume both have a higher priority than these. It may happen eventually but it wouldn't be easy to do so I don't think many would want to take it on.

I assumed VoLTE would have a higher priority, but I wanted to post a request up so devs would start thinking about it.
Also: Looks like my "dream" came true after all! Computerfreek274 made a port of Mokee open source ROM here, and is working on porting all Moto apps from the Turbo to it, including the Moto suite and Verizon's visual voicemail.

That's pretty awesome, once it's working on one it should work for all AOSP ROMs.

Sweet, this is exactly what I was hoping for. Hopefully if it works they can port Moto features into most roms (or make a way for us to implement it.)

When @computerfreek274 finishes porting everything to his custom ROM, I'm going to test them out on Cyanogenmod. If that works, I'll get his permission to make a post with download links for each app (moto apps will stay bundled, obviously)

That'd be great, let us know if it works.
I'm super excited now.
You guys are asking for stuff already done.
Almost everything has already been ported back in early November for Resurrection Remix which @baybutcher27 did. Moto put the same stuff on all the Quarks and the Droid Turbo is just the last to get freedom. Other devs, other ROMs are there for the Quarks for months now. But the forums got split before that happened (because Droid Turbo owners didn't like seeing all the Quark dev work they couldn't participate in at the time), so you have to venture over to the Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx forum...
However while he ported most everything, he decided to not include it in the ROM as default, letting users install what they wanted.
See this page. Read it carefully.

______
and that's beside the fact that almost all ROMs already have the same functionality, even it the feature doesn't have the same exact name...
Moto Voice = OK Google
Moto Display = Ambient Display
______
but again, @baybutcher27 has done the work to port most Moto apps. Go read that page. If you install RR ROM, you can decide which Moto suite apps to install with only a couple of exceptions.

Thanks so much for reminding me that the forums got split. Haven't really frequented much since root but now with the bootloader unlocked I'm excited to customize everything.
Moto Display = Ambient Display

It's the same on the Quark, maybe not other Android devices -- because the Quark CM DEV did fantastic coding for the IR sensors.
Why are you digging up old posts from 2015?

We HAVE shake for torch and everything -- on CM12.1 (which is now obsolete), on CM13 and all Marshmallow custom ROMs, and now on Nougat (CM14 based).

Just saying that it's not the same isn't going to solve anything. You have to elaborate or nobody will be able to help you (or interested in helping you, for that matter).

Why would you want this? CM already has ambient display which works just as well (I personally think it works better but that's just my opinion).

Bc i like the way Moto Display looks with the circular notifications instead of a full bar across the screen. I prefer moto display and would most definitely be interested in this. One reason why i dislike CM roms.

I think what he means is that with the Moto Display you get that circular notification where you can swipe left to ignore and swipe right to jump to that notification. Whereas with the CM ambient display you have the full bar across the screen like a regular notification.
