So, I received my Moto X in the mail today. Everything was working as advertised. The Active display and the shake gesture to launch camera.
Then I downloaded LightFlow simply for its beautiful notification settings. I set my custom notifications and everything. Disabling dibrate/tone settings for native apps. Once I did this, everything stopped. No more Active Display. No vibrate/tone for notifications. Even the shake to launch camera function doesn't work. At all. I haven't uninstalled LightFlow yet but I'll try that.
What's going on? Is this a common issue?
Thanks.
Light flow? I don't think the x has a notification LED. Uninstall light flow

If you disabled things with LightFlow it is logical that that would be the reason it stopped working. Curious why you'd use an app to disable notifications and not just turn them off in the apps themselves?
What they said above. Lightflow's accessibility features are likely intercepting the notification before it gets to active display. Uninstalling lightflow should fix it.

No no, I disabled the notifications from other apps so there wouldn't be two notifications for them. Active Display along with the gesture for camera launch works now. But now I can't hear the notifications nor is there a vibrate for the ones I set up through LightFlow. I know there are no LED's (although, the app says there are...?) on the Moto X, I just love LightFlow's customization options for notifications. I love repeating ringtones and custom vibrate etc. Most ofthe time I have my phone in my pocket so sometimes I don't think to take it out to look at the device.
(I'm still used to my Galaxy Nexus)
uninstall light flow. There's a thread on here that shows the Moto X does have a LED behind the ear piece like the Razr HD had, but it isn't wired to work.

So, I'd have to use the stock notification method? I love Active Display and prefer it over a notification LED, but I want custom vibrations and repeating ringtones and all that stuff.
Active Display and Quick Capture
I'm on stock rooted verizon but don't have lightflow and never have. I also have the issue of active display and quick capture occasionally not working until I reboot. It seems fine in safe mode but the only apps of significance I've installed are dolphin browser/jetpack + flash, dead space mobile, juice defender, wifi tether, pandora, adaway, and rom manager. I'm not sure which could be causing the issue, does anyone have an insight?
Additionally, the terrible stock app for selecting backgrounds always zooms in after a reboot yet the third party apps don't place the image the same way (zoomed out and focused on the corner) leaving me no choice but to reset the wallpaper at every boot. Any solutions?

Of those apps you installed I would be most suspect of juice defender causing problems with how the phone normally is sleeping and waking up for active display to work.

I run juice defender literally the entire time my phone is on but I only occasionally get the active display/quick capture failure so I'm not as certain. Regardless I have uninstalled it for the time being as a test. I use Pandora a lot which changes the lock screen so I suspect that I'll disable that next.
Old vs. 2014 Moto X Active Display
I notice that one of the features of the 2014 Moto X Active Display is that one only needs to wave a hand over the device to activate the display. But my 2013 Moto X does that too. So is this really a new feature? Or am I missing something?

Our old one uses the proximity sensor. The new, 4 IR and is more responsive.

Did you solve this problem? Please help!
Turn off ambient display fix it for me!! FIXED

Moto display, the nexus version seems inferior to what the moto x has.
I'd like to be able to have moto actions too so that I see my notifications with a wave of my hand.
Moto Voice, on the moto x it's always on (even when the screen is off) and you can change the phrase from ok Google
And double twist to start the Camera
Also I'm coming from a locked BL Samsung so I'm used to features and lag, which nexus 6 rom has the most features?
Bro, go with Bliss Pop ROM. Feature packed and has the OK Google everywhere. As for the twist to start camera thing, would be cool to have but seems moot. I mean either swipe from the bottom right of the unlock screen or say OK Google, then launch camera.?
So... it looks like Motorola came up with a way to utilize Moto Display on the 2nd Generation Moto E without an AMOLED screen - probably similar to how Peek works things. I wonder if they'll port that over to the Moto G 2nd Gen - or if they'll wait and stick it on a 3rd generation Moto G.
I read something somewhere that the second G was supposed to get it but not sure how accurate that source was. Also not really sure what implications this will have on battery life.
If they do implement it however, I hope there is a way to disable it. I'd be willing to test it but will probably not use it.

If you want to really use Moto Display, use the AcDisplay app on the Play Store. It does practicaly the same
Moto display is Ambient Display???
If yes, Is a thing already present on 5.0
Ambient Display - While your phone’s display is off, Ambient Display can show notifications without turning on the full display. This will be triggered when a notification arrives. You will see notifications similar to that shown on the lock screen. You can turn this feature on in the Display menu in Settings, and note that it will increase the power consumption of your device.
Moto G (2nd Generation) - Android™ 5.0 Lollipop - Release Notes
Or you talking about something else?
see my pic, i'm on stock + xposed is not a custom ROM.
It's similar, yes, but it is definitely NOT the same. With moto display, the phone turns on and shows you the notification when you pick it up, move it, take it out of you pocket. That's really the part that I would like to see happen on the Moto G.
Yeah, I am aware that it could affect battery life. My battery life is fine, I would still like to see how it would be.
Test the App 'Gravity Screen' from Playstore. It has the same functions as you described...
Yep, have that installed. Still working on tweaking the settings, but as of yet, I haven't found it as reliable as the same type of features on the first generation Moto X.
the functions that you want are from this app... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.aon or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.motodisplay
Moto E is not on supported list...
I did not see a E 2nd Gen, but i don't think it will have that, only have the Ambient Display, like Moto g on L...
If it have, must be easy to port to G, the hardware is very close....
If is something different from that moto app, share a video a demo, because i'm curios.

Here's the official announcement video. The time index of talking about Active Display is about..... 2:49 or so. It's definitely there. And yeah, I know about Ambient Display, ACDisplay, Dynamic Notifications, Peek, and Gravity Switch, and all the things one can do to try to hack the feature in. They work, more or less. But on my Moto X 2013, active display simply works more reliably. If the Moto E feature ends up ported to the G, I'd be very happy to see it.
custom rom
Guys,
Is there any chance to get any custom rom for moto e 2nd gen because i'm thinking of buying this phone
Looks like the Moto G 3rd gen ended up with Moto Display / Active Display like the Moto E 2nd Gen. Not sure if that means AMOLED screen on it, or if it's using some other way to keep the battery use down.

i download the moto g 3° rom, copy all the files that are related to moto display (all that i think is need maybe there is more), i don't plan to make it work, because i don't use it:silly:, but if you wanna here a zip...
the zip flash ok, but don't work in the rom i'm at (AOSP) it gives a FC ''com.motorola.system'' or some like that did not print the error.
if you try and not work use the Cleaner-MotoDisplay_3.0 will remove every file of the zip MotoDisplay_3.0
have fun... :good:

Right....it's missing LED Notification light on 3rdG.....so how the "Moto Display" works ? If I put it on my office desk, should I pick it up everytime I want to see the notification ? Because every few minutes I go to different rooms.

A bit late, but, should this work? I flashed it but I don't know how to access the feature. Should it have created an app or a settings option? I am using CM12.1, it has Ambient Display but it doesn't work quite as well as the stock Moto Display.
Moto G2 had ambient display built in with 12.1 . Sadly, they removed the feature around August. It had to do something with the kernel was not intended to support it.
I miss moto display so much. Has anyone been able to port out the motorola active display app for other phones? Anyway to replace the google ambient display with motorola?
Ive tried Notific, acdisplay, dynamic notifications, glimpse and they're all buggy and none of them work as well as moto display.
Is there any alternative apps out there? Any roms with moto display support?
I heard resurrection remix has moto permissions to download the moto apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...73&postcount=2) Do all remix's have this?
Thanks

Hello everyone,
can anyone tell me if Android One version of Moto X4 have any of the Moto features from the retail model?
I'm on XT1900-7 (Retail EU) version, stuck on 8.0 and I'm thinking about switching to an Android One firmware, but I use a lot of Moto features and I don't know if I'll find them in A1.
These are the features I'm talking about:
- Moto Gestures (shake to camera, hammer to flash, three-finger screenshot, etc)
- Moto Display (a LOT better than stock Ambient Display!)
- One-button navigation (back-recent-home with fingerprint sensor)
Thanks in advance.

A1 is missing the One Button Navigation, and there does not appear to be away to enable it. There was a hack in pre-Oreo that you could do, and then take each OTA since then.
The others are there.

Thanks. What about Moto Voice, Moto Key and the Moto Launcher?
Also, Phone and Contacts apps are Google ones or Moto ones?

Moto Voice and Key are not present, and the apps are from Google.
