(REQ) Moto X touchless control & active notifications

Hi
I just wanted to know if there is a way to get the Google now touchless control and the active notifications on the lock screen on the nexus 7.

Use this app for Active Notifications, Check this Video for Active Voice..

It's probably possible but
1. N7 doesn't have the dedicated core to listening for a key term
2. It doesn't have an AMOLED display.
Which means, if someone gets it functioning here, don't expect good battery life.

I did some research and found that if you use the Tasker app along with the AutoVoice app you can create a continuouse recognise task and create a phrase that triggers tasker to execute a task you have pre-selected. A good feature is that the app is listening for that phrase even when the screen is turned off. That is very similar to the Moto X.
Obviously this will use more battery that the Moto X because the Moto X has a CPU Core dedicated to language recognition, etc.
There is also a youtube video demonstrating the use of these apps

Okay google now beep

Is there a way to turn on a beep or some sort of notification to confirm that the moto x actually heard you?
Like when you say "okay google now" (BEEP) then command?

No option that i'm aware of.
Being this is an app on the Google Play Store, you might have better luck submitting feedback asking for this feature in the meantime.

even i am looking for this. I just posted in the app page in playstore

Secure lock screen and moto x features

I'm thinking of getting a moto x on Monday to replace my aging galaxy nexus on Verizon (and still keep my unlimited data for a while longer). Can someone describe how features like active notifications and the always on hotword detection work when using pattern/pin lock? Can you still view the active notifications and just enter your pattern/pin when swiping to go directly to the notification? Thanks.

Yes on the active notifications bit. They work like normal but still require a pattern after you swipe. I have barely used the hotword, but it does seem to work just fine.

When using the pin/password lock, accessing the touchless control is still available but to get the results, you have unlock the device.

[Q] Dialer in 4.4

Hello,
I just switched from a Nexus 4 to the Moto X (on T-Mobile, running stock). I noticed that my dialer in the Moto X is missing the Google Now functionality (it's not searching local businesses, etc)
Is this happening to anybody else? Is there a setting that I'm missing that turned the feature off?
I found a support entry from Google (Use caller ID by Google) but the option listed (Menu > Settings > Caller ID by Google) is not available on my phone.
I'm going to go home and check on my Nexus 4.
Never mind, I figured it out. Please delete me
Thanks!

Just what did you figure out?

Probably that it's a feature only available on Nexus devices.

Yeah, That's what I came up with... which is why I asked.

Ya I read in an article it didn't make the cut, but all you have to do is install it, it's posted the forums

Has anyone figured out how to get this working with the stock launcher? I'd really like to use the Google Dialer but I don't want to have to use Nova.

Use one of shortcut creating apps in the store. See thebdialer tread in Apps forum.

Hotword detection anywhere in latest Search update

Looks like the latest Google Search update is testing always listening (lock screen, apps) for OK Google Hotword detection. Only for "certain accounts" at the moment though.
with Search 3.5 installed, certain Google accounts are now able to use “OK Google” Hotword detection in any screen, including the lock screen and third-party apps. Unfortunately, this feature is only available on a few accounts at the moment, but hopefully the rollout continues quickly.

This has been a highly requested feature since the launch of the N5. Anyone have one of these mythical accounts?

Type in " OK Google Everywhere" in the search app and then go to settings and you will now see the option.

Can you just install the APKs in order to get the updates without having to wait for our turn? Even on a Rom?
Thanks in advance

Nope

I tried with the APK but didn't work for me and others. Someone said we got to wait.

I guess your account isn't one of the few.
Do you guys think it is just random accounts, or would these account holders know ahead of time that they have these special permissions? I'm assuming it's for accounts which signed up for some beta testing.

You are right. It might be for early beta testers.

Started working for me as soon as I installed the apk. Haven't done anything special as such to get it. You can get the hotword detection working from settings. Basically, it works exactly like a moto x except it doesn't work when the phone is both not being charged and also the screen is off. Waiting for custom hotwords now, "OK Google" seems kinda lame.

I read that it's being released in waves to different users and you also have to be on the latest Google play services 5.* But it is being rolled out in a back end search update in waves, few reports of users already having it.

Usually you are able to, except for this particular app now. So I'm sad.

I have it, lol.

WIll this work with italian language? Thanks...

I guess my account is part of "the few"??? I went to Google Settings -> Voice -> "OK Google" Detection and saw a few extra options including detect anywhere. Ticked those options and worked great even on Nova Launcher with Nova's native OK Google feature DISABLED.

I was watching an Android wear video on YouTube on my phone and with this turned on when the person in the video said "OK google" my phone heard it and tried to search.

Haha it's the "XBOX ON" issue all over again. I think maybe it should stop listening when the speaker is outputting sound since they're right next to each other.

Here's the link for the apk http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=f...1c8ecbba2b5ce81b6d0337194d149d219daab5a3b7513
Works great for me. Woohoo!
