The moto x style? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm just wondering if when the moto x style gets the software available, do you think we might get a ported ROM or at least ported apps?

There's a few threads about this. Here's just one:

Ahh thanks for the reply. That'll teach me to look first.

I wonder if the devs would have a better chance with the moto x style just because it'll be easier to obtain here in the states versus the moto x pro. I mean I'd stay with my nexus6 if I could get the moto enhancements. I just have my doubts. If it hasn't been done already, I'm starting to doubt it ever gets done.

Why would you think it would be easier to port from the Style than from a Moto X 2nd gen?

[Q] Omni ROM comimg anytime to the Moto X?

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone with the right Dev skills and some free time could work on bringing Omni ROM to the Moto X... I know we don't have much interest in these custom ROMs cuz we would be loosing the brilliant features we paid for... But you gotta say OMNI has some pretty cool features like split window etc as well.... So what say?!?

I second this so much. I love the stock rom, but I would love multiwindow.

If you want Split Window you should lookup the ROM that's forbidden from XDA. But I agree anyways.

I'll flash on the x when I'm over active notificaton and touchless...or updates stop...whichever comes first.
I flashed hundreds of roms on my S2 and N7 tho.
My daughter uses the tab 3 7" only....so I was going to leave it alone ...but it lagged horrifically out of the box. LOL. Its still stock, but rooted and debloated now and it is zippy now. Its no N7, but close.
Just don't have the patients for anything not 100 percent stable and fully functioning anymore. And the X is terribly sweet on stock with xposed. One day I'll tinker tho.

All I did to the tab 3 was factory reset, flash twrp and root. It was already WAY quicker....then I froze every single Samsung thing and some Google stuff. And greenified everything...especially all her games. Oh...and ad blocked. No more dating site ads on her kids games. Rediculous. LOL
I was almost ready to return it...my old Captivate was quicker than the tab 3 out of the box. Hate Samsung! LOL. Only bought it for her cause of price...and SD card for movies. Otherwise she'd have an N7 too.

Odin is an amazing tool I must say. LOL
In general...for the captivate and S2 anyway....you could flash this, that and the other thing with no brick worries....as long as you did it right. Screwed up? Odin stock back on. Any version.
Can't speak for S3 and S4...tho tab 3 seems just as easy.

Hey Guys! Just thought you guys should know that the new LiquidSmooth release for all the Ghost Variants has Multi Window! Plus it has OmniSwitch. It's pretty awesome. You can download it here: http://drdevs.com/devs/teamliquid/Nightly/Moto%20X%20Unified/

4.4.4? Already?

I just updated KitKat to 4.4.3 a few weeks back. Is there really already a 4.4.4 update? I saw this here, but I couldn't tell if 4.4.4 is intended for the Moto X or not.
The first few paragraphs of that link provide you with all the info you asked
Sent from my XT1060
Looks like the article was just mentioning the devices that got 4.4.3. I doubt carriers are going to go through the trouble of testing and rolling out 4.4.4 for the X if they've already put out 4.4.3. I think that's why they only confirmed the GPe Moto G for 4.4.4. Just my guess.
Does anyone know if the SSL bug got fixed in our 4.4.3?

Well, yes and no. I still can't figure out if there's going to be a 4.4.4 for the Moto X. No big deal, apparently, but I'd like to know. If I were hit by a bus tomorrow, for instance, I'd hate to leave this earth without having first gotten the latest Android update for my phone.:cyclops:

Yes, I find that weird too, I mean no disrespect to G or E owners but why X is prioritize last?
Also what does that mean "Indian users", what the hell will happen to users of elsewhere?

Its written Indian users because our phones are not bound by any carrier . So we receive our updates from Motorola directly. For other carrier based phones it depends on the carriers and not Motorola.
Also its little weird that Moto E is getting the update before X, Since X being the flagship phone :/

Guess that updating Moto G and E prior Mot X is rather a technical issue than question of a privilege. Moto X with its 8 core computing system needs much more adaptation than other ones, which based mostly on the plain AOSP . That's also the reason why is so difficult to mod a useful custom ROM for Moto X with full stock functionality.

[Q] Android update to the Moto X

I was just wondering if there are going to be further updates to the Moto X from 4.4?
Any idea how long they are going to support this device for?
I am betting android L, whatever version they number it, will be the end. And maybe a small bug fix update as usual. ?
I heard it would get "L".

L is already confirmed for the moto x. After that it will be getting close to 18 months old so I wont expect further major updates after that.

Thnks a lot for that; perhaps I need to root and get updates via XDA... I guess its already quite an old phone.

Moto X Active Display (Request)

I came from a Droid Maxx. I loved the active display feature and it's the feature that I miss most from my Maxx. Has anyone gotten Moto X's or Droid Turbo's Active Display to work with our N6? I realize there are apps in the Play Store that somewhat do this but they aren't the same.

With the new Motorola X Pro on the horizon which appears to be the clone of the Nexus running stock Moto software I don't expect many devs to bother porting it over. I think they will wait till it releases and port over bits from the framework to make it easier.

If we can get a system dump then it should be possible. I think devs will want to port features over and incorporate them into their ROMs.

If they can't post it I hope they are able to port the entire ROM. It would be so nice to run the stock Moto software as it will probably be Lollipop and include stuff like the Active Display, camera software, Moto Assist and other stuffs

Its possible I suppose but we have to see what we can get our hands on. I suspect that you could run stock moto firmware on the nexus since it's virtually the same device. The ROM will probably need to be modified in some way to do this if its even possible but I feel like the features will be ported before a whole ROM is

It has Ambient Display, which I believe is not exclusive to the N6 but built into Lollipop and only active for compatible hardware. It is also slightly different as Moto Display will continue to flash, or "breathe", the latest notification till you view or dismiss it. It is also heavily optimized specifically for the Moto X hardware and screen technology which makes for great battery life.

That's correct only AMOLED screened devices have the ambient display. My Nexus 9 did not have it in the display settings. Since the Nexus is a Motorola device and the same exact specs as the X Pro we can assume that there will be some porting done. There is a OP discussion Moto X Pro in the Q&A section if you want to check there.
I cant wait till someone ports it over, would love to see MOTO X features on my Nexus 6
I'm definitely for this, even if it's a pipe dream. It would be awesome to have the moto display instead of ambient display, it's much better

Things like this can be extremely difficult. Often the people who would like them to happen don't have the skills (or the inkling to learn) where as the people with the skills (or inkling to learn) don't care or want to get involved. Its quite rare that skills and would like meet up in a single person.

Near stock android but with very useful features
What I meant was I believe the Moto X pro is the Nexus 6 with Moto software. If someone makes a ROM from its system dump, maybe we could have all the Moto features.
Yep waiting for that too haha even looking on baidu to see if I get anything
Does anyone have the Moto X Pro? Because I can't find a system dump for the life of me! I want to port Moto Display so fast
It looks like it was released recently

We should have something fun in a month or two! I'll definitely donate to whoever starts porting features.
I can't really help with coding or testing but just want to come by and say thanks for everything. You guys have all my support.
