Ok so I don't have root access because I accidentally hit yes one day but oh well. I'm seeing all these apps coming out for users with root access when i started thinking why if google doesn't want us to have root access do they allow apps in the market specifically for root access users? It makes no sense and is a complete contradiction!
google doesn't mind us having root access, t-mobile minds it, so together with google, they prevent it on the G1... dont link google android with the g1 like that.. google wants us to have root on android to make things better (thats what linux is all about) tmobile wants to block that access.
Not allowing root access prevents people who don't understand linux commands from entering the wrong command thus rendering their phone unusable. These are the people that have the potential to create a nightmare for Tmobile. If you have root access and you know how to use it, then it is not a problem.
We are screwed if we patched our phones basically.
Hopefully these programs will come soon for non-root phones.

Just putting this out there, when i first got my G1 i rooted it. When t-mobiles app "MyAccount" came out i installed it but it would not load it said this android ver not supported. so i called up tmo for basic support thinking maybe its my account or something. So the rep asked me if i was rooted, i figured what the hell, so i said yes i was rooted and running a hacked rom, they said "ok we would like to support rooted phones as well" they also asked where i got the rom or which one was it, i played dumb on this i just said some made up rom name. so long story short, sure enough a couple weeks later there was an update and the myaccount app worked. I gotta give them credit for that. I was tempted to ask how they feel about wifi tether for root users, lol. i didn't wanna rock the boat.
Root is meant for people who know what they are doing and for developers.
I keep seeing system apps being updated via the play store. So Motorola can update all apps without a system update?

It would be more accurate to say that Google can, but yes this is the way they've been gradually moving to. Now instead of having to wait for a new version of the OS (and the eternity it takes carriers and manufacturers to distribute it), Google just pushes core app updates through the play store.
As someone who just made the mistake of signing up with Verizon I am VERY happy about this.

It's more complicated than that, fellas. Allow me:
If you see a Google App on the market, that means it's no longer open source. So others can't use it unless they agree to Google's terms and have a Google qualified device. So basically, amazon and the likes that build from android's open source can't use them. So anything in the market can't be used like the open-source base code.
Long story short: if it's in the market, it's closed-sourced. Make sense?

If they can receive updates from the play store it means they were signed by Google when they were added to the system partition which means they were already closed source when they were packaged with the stock ROM, your answer doesn't make any sense.

Google apps have always been updated via the Play Store, so I'm not really sure what talk of the Google apps has to do with this thread. I assumed the OP was talking about the Motorola system apps, a lot of which have been put on the Play Store recently. Those were always closed-source anyway.
OP, yeah, it's so Motorola can update the apps without having to send out a system update. Google started putting more and more of the core Android apps (with some Googley modifications) on the Play Store over the past year or so to accomplish this, and now Motorola is following suit. They know the carriers really slow down system updates, so the more they can circumvent the carriers, the more updated they can keep their phones.

Google doesn't need to Market-link their apps to remove them from non-conforming vendors devices. As all Google apps are the property of Google, and always have been, Google can simply send you a C&D letter. Ask Cyanogen about that!
True, but they don't update the AOSP anymore. You're left with that "old" code. Only propitiatory apps get the new features and updates.

I read that article back when it came out. A lot of the points are true, but it still has nothing to do with this thread. Motorola is already in control of their phones (minus the part where the carriers delay the updates). This allows them to circumvent the carriers for minor updates.

Don't see how, but whatever. I'm done here.
While they are all proprietary and all, the end reason is so that the apps and new features can be put on all devices (given they meet specs and all) and they can use/take advantage of all the new features of said apps w/out having to update the actual OS to the newest version of android. It's some what of an end run around the carriers/manufactures to get the updates to the people sooner rather then waiting for them to put out an update to the devices. That's pretty much the main reason for putting them on the market and updating them that way. If they didn't want to do the end run around carriers to get the updates to the phone then they wouldn't have put them on the market like that. The apps (like moto's camera and touchless controls and googles calendar & play apps) are already closed source/proprietary so the logic of putting them on the market automatically makes them closed source doesn't make sense as there are a lot of apps that are on the market that are open source.
Did you even read the link? I won't answer anyone until they read it.
And I'm done too. Bored.

i think where all of this differing of opinions is coming in is what is actually being talked about. your post have to do with the prior open source of googles apps that are now closed source. But the other folks are saying that they could have made those apps closed source and pushed them through updates via FW rather through the play store. The reason they push them through the play store isn't so that they can now be closed source, as they could do that by pushing them through FW updates. So while google is trying to take control (which imo rightfully so on their part, i don't like it but they did free work for a long time to get to the market share they are at so its inevitable that they are trying to cash in on their work now, given plenty of other devs helped as well not working for google), their reason for updating system.aks through the play store is not so they can keep it closed source, because they can do that in other ways as well.
They could also be putting aosp apps in the system/app and update them through he play store if they wanted to. I don't see how them being closed source and making the, get updated through the play store instead of through FW udpates has any bearing on the closed source taking control back aspect.
I'm not even arguing here, im just trying to figure out why you think or "know" that to be the case.

scanned the second one. read the first. All they said was when they move it to the play store that is the same as making it closed source. Which is true. But that doesn't mean they couldn't have not allowed them to udpate through the play store and just had them update when they released new OS/FW for the phone. They could have still made those closed source in doing so. Just because they chose to make them close sourced and moved to the play store doesn't mean that they couldn't have made them closed sourced and had them update through new android updates or FWs right?
I don't see why because they chose to put them in the play store, it was to take over is what Im getting at. If they chose not to put them in the play store and update them with new android updates, they still could have made them closed source so "take over" or whatever. Since they could make them closed source either way, doesn't that mean they chose to put them in the play store for other reasons?
Hello, I have a droid maxx and coming from a rooted HTC rez I enjoyed my WiFi tethering... A lot. I was hoping for the same on this phone, and I had it on 4.2.2 but I was a soak tester so I lost it.

Trying to tether my Droid Maxx
I damaged my Droid Maxx that WAS running 4.2.2 which allowed FoxFi to wifi tether my unlimited data plan. But my replacement device came with 4.4.4 (SU6-7 & 24.3.7.obake-maxx_verizon.en.US), and FoxFi doesn’t support it passed 4.3 on my device.
I really want my tethering back (without paying twice for my unlimited data!).
Supposedly a Daniel Pocock authored this method to unblock tether on 4.4 with no root required:
pmf .silvrback. com / fixing-tethering-on-android-kitkat (if ya needed the source...)
1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
4. Start an adb shell: adb shell
5. In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
I did steps 1-3 of installing, downloading, degugging, and plugging in USB cable. Problem is I have no idea how to do 4 or 5. Nor do I know if this will even work.
Can anyone help me execute steps 4 and 5, or even comment on accuracy/reliability of this method.
Plan B
While I prefer the laziness and safety of not rooting. I’m willing to do what it takes to get my tethering back. If I end up rooting, I’d like to reduce apps permissions and maybe try a ROM (Lollypop?)… But I’d need much more education on the whole topic, recovery, the whole bit. Obviously some methods are WAY more complicated than others (rootjunky). Tempting are the “easy” root methods like: towelroot, oneclickroot.com, kingoapp, SRSroot, etc., but again, my knowledge is lacking and I’d happily settle for getting my tether back.
Plan C
I've seen some pay for services online that will root my phone for me priced $20-40. Depending on their level of support to help secure my rooted device, apps, etc. I'd SO be willing to pay a reasonable one-time fee to a bona fide expert to just "get er done" rather than struggle to find good info and learn all this. I can't even follow what looked like simple instructions above :[. Any input on this idea is welcome as well. (Is the desperation obvious? lol).
Super Thanks!
I've been searching this and other forums all day...
I found something from "crash xxL" here
xda-developers Motorola Droid Ultra Droid Ultra General Droid Mini/Maxx/Ultra Root [SU6-7] by CrashXXL
But its all greek to me. I can't "run" anything, or "start a shell", I must be retarded, lol. The SDK Android studio app might as well be Greek as well - I've look thru all the menus but its obvious I'm way out of my league here. I used to consider myself somewhat of a techie, but not after this exercise!
Is there hope for us mere mortals?
If the method on my last post seems viable i'd like to try it. Otherwise I figure I'll just have to pay one of those websites, rather than pay VZW another $30 monthly for the privilege of using the data I've already purchased.
Really need that tether back. Even if i get it rooted, I'm not sure how to "fix" the tether problem...sigh...
ANY help is appreciated
Just to check... I have a Droid Maxx XT1080M NON ROOTED. I am using it in a GSM network and I can tether without problem (USB, WIFI and BLUETOOTH).
This is not available to other Droid Ultras/Maxx??
Semi-Solved
I Solved my issue of trying to use my unlimited data via hot spot. Apparently Big Red V corrupts android OS with an added subscription process for the hot spot function. They want us to pay an additional $30/mo to use our hot spot. Technically that's illegal & against FCC rules, so they call it a "device feature" instead - which actuality is a device hobbling practice (read extortion) imho. FoxFi app has circumvented this subscription process in the past, but the carrier breaks this with each and every update. Android 4.4 has pretty much locked down the boot loader most commonly used to ROOT. What's a user to do but choose a phone with unadulterated Android OS, which was my solution. Moto has come to the rescue with the X pure edition! Now turning the hot spot on and off is super simple -- right in the pull down menu of android 5 and 6. Yay for unlocked, pure Android phones that are free of carrier manipulation! No Root Necessary! Thanks Moto!:good:
Any chance we could get this ported to the droid maxx? Even with unlocked bootloader?
Thanks!

Of course the app is going to get updated to the new name but from the article it's saying the features won't make it. I guess I should be a bit clearer with my words. I'm just relaying the message, I'm not just pulling this stuff out of thin
air.
Perhaps you should read through it as well. By the following it seems more likely the 2013 moto x is NOT getting the new features like the 2014 Moto X.
Without touching your smartphone at all, you can get directions, set an alarm or pretty much anything—just by talking. Moto Voice is always ready. Say “Do I need an umbrella?” and it gives you the weather. Tell it you’re going home, and Moto Voice will get you there. Say "Find your phone" for your phone to make it ring so you can track it down.
On your new Moto X (2nd generation), there’s even more:
To make Moto Voice more personal to you, create your own launch phrase, like “Hello Moto X” and teach it your voice. Say “Play Beethoven on YouTube” to play music videos on YouTube. You can also interact with your favorite apps like Facebook and WhatsApp with your voice.
I found this one very vague reference on Gizmodo's article:
One major disappointment? Motorola's software updates won't be coming to last year's Moto X. Sorry, folks; it's a dead-end device. Which is a real shame, given that it's only a year old.

It was added right after the software section of the article so I'm guessing it's multiple software updates that won't be coming to the gen1 X. So far it looks like the customized wake-up phrase isn't coming. HOPEFULLY a dev here will be able to remedy that. I have faith, but if it's tied into the features of the snapdragon 801 then it might be a tall task.
It looks like Punit Soni says that we will be getting some of the new features of the new Moto X
"The new Moto X, the new Moto G, Moto 360 and Moto Hint.
I hope you like our line-up. The Specs are great and we have all new and improved software features across the board which make these devices work even better.
And better still, all that software will come to all our existing users too (as long as the Hardware allows it)

photo caching has little to nothing to do with the sensor. it has to do with processing power and RAM allocation. a dedicated camera (even SLR) that can take multiple shots per second will run in to buffering issues once you've reached the max threshold (bottleneck in file writing/caching).
frankly i don't see why the camera apk couldn't come to the old X. the high-level description was that it basically takes three pictures. to do this, the phone has to cache frames of rolling images and save them once you hit the shutter. based on the description, it's buffering 3 frames out of possible 60/s (i don't see it being higher than that). so technically your shot would take all of 3s to snap, save and preview.
i'd like to see more demo/reviews on this tech to find out if my assumptions are correct.

It's not like gizmodo doesn't have a positive reputation. They were questioned about it today and they indicated they were told at the press event that the features wouldn't come to the G1 moto x. It's also not uncommon for Companies to change their stance on certains things as well. The next thing we should wonder (non moto related) is whether or not Sony remote play will come to the Xperia Z2. It's as capable as the Z3. Maybe they'll change their stance on that as well if there is enough demand.

Ah gotcha. Thought maybe it had something to do with shutter speed.
Quite frankly I'm looking forward to the new X. I know some people are grumbling about the size increase(rightfully so), but that's where the market is going. I see more people holding huge Samsung devices than any other, including iPhones(which I used to see everywhere). In fact, on my team of 13 here at work, only 4 have iPhones. The rest all have Galaxy phones... Excluding me of course, who made the right choice.

I came to Moto X from the HTC One M7. The new camera features in the new moto x sound like a subset of what the HTC One has. While they are nifty, I don't really miss them. The most useful is the highlight clip. However, I can get that from G+ Photos' auto-awesome. The number one feature on the moto x that I find indispensable is Touchless Control, so I sure hope the new Moto Voice will come to gen 1 moto x.
Does anyone have apk?
Got an update today but everything still says touchless control, aside from the play store. Haven't had a chance to test it out yet.
