Google search update broke moto voice unlock - Moto X Q&A

About a couple of months ago, I updated Google search, and it broke the ability of moto voice unlocking the screen
I am using pattern lock. Before certain commands allowed moto voice to open Google search even when the screen lock was on. For instance asking for weather would open the weather but you couldn't do anything else.
Now, with voice commands when locked, the screen turns on, it does the transcription and I hear the beep of Google search working in the background but the screen remains locked with the pattern displayed.
Anyone else experiencing this or is it just me?
I'm on kitkat with the T-Mobile version. Bootloader unlocked through tmo and rooted. I have xposed with only one module that adds more buttons to the status bar
Thanks

[Q] ICS lock screen always appears when opening apps

Hello everyone, my lock screen always appears whenever I open an app. Not all apps, but the google play store or SMS or something like that.
The steps I've done:
I've disabled the lock screen completely and removed all codes, and then added them again.
I use an application called No Lock which either enables or disables the lock screen. When I'm home, On GB at least, I use it to not lock the home screen because I don't need security at home. I click the widget to lock the screen when I leave the house to enable it. I've cycled through the on off for this application and still the same results.
Any ideas?

Lock screen widgets?

I just noticed that I can't seem to add add lockscreen widgets to my Moto X. On the lockscreen I have the camera if I swipe to the right but nothing happens if I try swiping to the left. On my Galaxy Nexus I get the plus icon that lets me add widgets.I don't have any security right now either, just swipe to unlock. Are lockscreen widgets supposed to work on the Moto X?
Never mind, got it working again. Activating the google apps device policy app with my university seems to have disabled them. When I tried to add my Moto X to my google device manger, it made me activate that. Oddly, after deactivating the device policy app, the Moto X still appears in my devices and I can use the find my phone feature.

[Q] Using Touchless Control with Pattern Lock screen

I read somewhere that when the phone first came out, you have to enter your pattern to unlock the phone after you said a touchless command to the phone. I then read that Motorola released an update that allows you to have Google application over the lockscreen so that you can use Touchless controls without having to unlock your pattern lock-protected phone.
Is this the case? I can't seem to find any threads online confirming the efficacy of the update.

[Q] Sense lockscreen not completely available on stock lollipop

Hey, I originally had a German T-Mobile branded M7 (T-MOB101) and yesterday, I changed its CID to switch to the unbranded European verison (HTC__102). Everything worked fine; I flashed 6.09.401.12, so I could receive the Lollipop upgrade via OTA to 7.19.401.2. However, after installing the OTA, I noticed that I don’t get the same Sense 6 experience that I briefly saw when I updated the original software to Lollipop (7.18.111.2).
In particular, I am missing additional functionality from the HTC Sense Lockscreen. The one I have does not have the swipe left/right functionality to access Blink Feed and more importantly the lock screen widget page. In fact, when I look at my security settings, I am completely missing the option for lock screen widgets.
I have found a screenshot which shows where the lock screen setting should be but instead, I just have the following options: Screen lock, Smart lock, Kid Mode, and Incoming phone calls.
I’ve also tried to update the lock screen via the Play Store, but when searching with the device, I cannot find the entry, and when looking at the app’s store website from my computer it tells me that it isn’t compatible with any of my phones.
Since I have seen this functionality working on the phone before (with the other lollipop version), I am now wondering what other options I might be missing too. Do you have any suggestion as to why this happens and how to unlock the functionalilty?

Google Assistant and Lockscreen

Before the update when I had Google now, I was able to use voice commands for non sensitive information from the lock screen or screen off. Now with Google assistant it pulls up the lock screen code for me to type in. Is there a way to fix this? If not, how can I revert back?
Use Smart Lock.

Smart Lock? Nexus 6 doesn't have voice unlock. Only face, place, and Bluetooth.
