Moto X Active Display not working?

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?

Any alternatives for Blurred System UI?

the Xposed module that would give you're notification panel a blurred effect. seems to have disappeared earlier last year. Just wondering if there are any alternatives you guys may know of. I have a rooted Note 5, 5.1.1 btw.
edit: suggest of any system tweaking mods would help

It's still in there as an exposed module. I tried it yesterday but it doesn't play ball with the toggle tiles.

Yeah an update needs to be released for this phone. It's not 100% working yet. I'm having trouble finding modules that actually would work.

Marshmallow update for Axon pro released

ZTE has released the marshmallow update for this beast. How's the update coming along for everyone so far?
The new update adds stock android features with little to no skinning.
Known issues/changes
•Some users are reporting stock launcher crashes, the problem can be alleviated by using a different launcher.
•Dolby Sound has gone missing, evidence provided by Arsenic53 suggest ZTE done goofed and accidentally removed it.
•The quick settings panel is now Dark and Transparent (very classy)
•Average RAM usage has gone up considerably due to system apps being badly optimized...or maybe they're just being rebellious?
•Bootloader still locked
•Battery drains quicker.
•Nice new booting screen
•Annoying WIFI calling issue has been resolved.
•Some users have reported lag even during the booting process.
•A user has reported that He/She cannot see the screen on some occasions especially when charging.
•The lockscreen is now closer to the stock version. The dialer shortcut has been replaced with a Google now voice function and the annoying "# more notifications" thing has been removed.
•Bloatware app "rockmyrun" can no longer be disabled.
P.S someone please link zte usa's twitter to this thread so they can go over it. Leave a reply so i can remove this message.

Taking forever to download...

Dolby atmos app is missing and the app drawer seems to be the old app drawer itself.hope the new marshmallow type app drawer is crashing.slight lag here and there and does doze feature in this update I can't find any setting menu for it.

The doze feature doesnt come with a dedicated settings tab. if you want to choose which apps get dozed and which dont, go to apps(settings) click the gear and click battery optimization; from there you can white list certain apps from doze (I recommend greenify if you want doze to activate in just a few minutes as opposed to an hour.)

This is what I got when I inquired about Dolby sound. Maybe they will release an update to add it back soon.

Auto-closing apps in background on Nougat

My Oneplus 3T is autoclosing apps that I am using while running, they are running in the background to give me timing and track my GPS, they are just randomly closed.
I have disabled Aggressive Doze and Auto-close high power apps but it is still happening. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

Yes, activate the lock (top right / multitasking screen) or flash a custom kernel (like: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ernel-franco-kernel-r1-28th-november-t3508904) which supports more background apps (limit raised to 60 from stock 32)

hello, does the lock solve the issue, could you please confirm ?

There are some hidden settings which might cause this
1. Apps - Setting - Apps auto-launch . Make sure it's turned off
2. Advanced - Recent app management - Make sure Normal clear is selected.

There is option in setting that close the application as soon you clear it from recent apps ....Setting/system UI/advanced
...Make sure it desabled.....Enjoy your device

I can't find any such setting. Which phone are you using now?

You have to start system UI tuner then you will be able to see this setting that's why

How about battery optimization setting? apps > gear > special access > battery optimization > apps in Not optimized list?
Yeah, I know. There's Doze, Aggressive Doze, and this Battery Optimization.

I'm having the same issue. Tried Franco Kernel and it didn't help.

I have tried locking Pokemon Go and it seemed to be working until today when it was killed in the background and I had to reload.
I'm not sure if this is a PoGo issue or a OnePlus issue.
I have now turned off battery optimisations for PoGo to see how that goes.

So far none of the solutions listed have worked for me. I have same problem with Pokemon Go, Lyft, and Uber. I'm on stock 7.0 not rooted. I tried the Beta 7.1.1 and no difference.

I started my torrent download and i slept as it was downloading in background, but in the morning the download dissappear how to fix this

Same Problem
I'm also having the same problem with PoGo. I can't find this lock button.

I have the same issue with some apps, including PoGo and Firefox and probably Discord (chat application). I bought this device with 6 GB to have not these issues. I'm quite disappointed. The issue occured with Android 6, with what the device was shipped, and with the latest Android 7.1. Maybe it doesn't have 6 GB at all and they did cheat me?
The lock button on the task manager screen does just prevent apps to be swiped away in my opinion.

i have the same issue when playing with pokemon go. very annoying. especially when its connected to my pogo plus. never had an issue with my s7e.

glad i'm not the only one. NPR app closes by itself when I'm listening to it.. I've noticed flipboard closing while i'm using it as well.

Just use a custom kernel, stock one has a limit on 32 max apps open. Other than that the solutions are those given already (Lock icon, disable battery opt for that app, disable doze, etc.)

Are you rooted and why?

Just as the title says I'm just asking those of you who are rooted and a quick brief explanation of why? Even those not rooted I would also encourage to Express your reasonings.
Personally I'm not rooted right now because I don't have TWRP and Google pay is iffy at the moment but I would love to root for substratum, adaway, and Viper sound mods.
Thanks guys.

Google Pay works with a simple fix in Termux app - no issues with it unless you use EdXposed.
I'm rooted for modding, theming, ability to install custom kernel, Button Mapper capabilities, Swift Backup, ability to fix device ambient EQ, ability to mod Active Edge, ability to use Lawnchair with QuickStep recents. mod accent colors to cool neon colors, iYTPB YouTube mod.. Substratum (not using currently but will be soon), ability to hide navbar.. the list goes on.
I'm rooted because this is a Google device with open source code and active development so modding and customizing my device is easy, fun, and I am able to see the changes being made without the blind guesswork and hackery involved in trying to develop for so many half-baked source release devices.

rooted so I can use;
- AdAway
- ViPER4Android
- EdXposed
As previously mentioned, Gpay is working fine.
And you don't "need" TWRP to root the P4XL.

Thanks for your input guys but I'm a little confused through googling I see a magisk module that supposedly does all the necessary scripting in the background and then like mentioned here I see manually editing via termux. So I'm just wondering what is the exact procedure or is there a thread I can't seem to find with the exact instructions?

I recommend this Termux fix, believe spaceman860 from DU is the first I saw using this but could be wrong, copying this from Telegram
Gpay fix v2
1. Install Termux app and open the app
2. Type pkg install sqlite hit enter and let it install.
3. Type su hit enter
4. Copy and paste this then hit enter
am force-stop /data/data/com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel && chmod 777 /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/dg.db && /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/dg.db "update main set c='0' where a like '%attest%';" && chmod 444 /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/dg.db
5. Reboot

I'm rooted mainly so I can install a custom kernel. I always end up rooting for one small reason or another.

Because i can

Adaway for now.

I root for,
AdAway
YouTube Vanced
Active Edge Mod
Custom Fonts
Themes (Swift Installer and Substratum)
Viper4Android
Centre Clock Mod
Build prop edits (just to change volume steps, really)
Screen recorder with internal audio recording
iOS Emojis
Some Tasker stuff that requires root
Swift Backup
SD Maid Pro

Main feature is custom kernel... It can realy provide a boost

@rickysidhu_ can you give me a link to the screen recording app please?

Because I use:
Custom Kernels (battery saving)
BlackenedMod (battery saving)
AdAway (no ads!)
YouTube Vanced (YouTube without ads and other cool features!)
Custom Themes (just a better colour palate for OEM colours in styles)
Viper4Android (awesome sound on speakers/earphones)
Centre Clock Mod (purely aesthetic)
TiB (backing up and restoring apps)

I haven't rooted since the first pixel. Haven't needed to. Adguard premium does what I need along with YouTube vanced.
I'll never bother messing with my phones again.

I'm rocking a P3xl, but I rooted for...
Advanced Charging Control module - allows me to control how the battery is charged - (ie lower the max charge to 80% and other things that should increase overall battery life)
Active Edge Mod (mostly standard settings, but can squeeze to take a picture when the camera is open instead of having to press the shutter button on the screen. This really helps when trying to hold the phone with one hand).
Viper4Android
AdAway
YouTube Vanced
ExperimentalX kernel - great kernel and it has high brightness mode (HBM) support too. (Like the Pixel 4 series, the 3a series has a max brightness that is actually lower than the screen is capable of. HBM overrides this and truly maxes the brightness. It really helps when using the phone outside in bright sunlight).
With the Pixel 4 series, I think being able to map the Soli gestures for other things might be very interesting too.

FINGERFACE!!!!!! How can Google release a flagship model with no FP sensor before getting all the banking/security apps to support the Face-unlock API???

They don't call it the bleeding edge for nothing and something had to come first; there would never be support without need and there is no need until someone creates it. Realistically Google has used their power over the ecosystem to require support and it's going to be ubiquitous in the near future. For now, some of us have to bleed a little bit...

No need to bleed, just root and install EdXposed and Fingerface.

No longer feel the need to root. System is working just fine and I'm using DNS66 from f-Droid with AdAway hosts. It's working absolutely fine without rooting.
