Hey guys,
can you check in smart action, I'm trying to add location trigger. It says no locations, please add by pressing the plus button. But I don't see plus button. May anybody check this?
Plus sign should be in upper right hand corner... good luck

heh, however no plus here. I'll look why it is..

Are you rooted and bloat-frozen (or bloat-deleted)?
The only time I've ever seen what you describe is when I froze "Social Location" thinking "it's just more Verizon social media integration crap". But it's not, or at least not entirely. It's the actual location engine that Smart Actions uses. (That's right, Google's basic location framework isn't good enough. )
Caveats: This was .219 Gingerbread stock and rooted. I haven't tried repeating the performance with .217 ICS stock and rooted.
I fixed the problem, deleted richlocationvzw and lccvzw apks. Restored and all fine

I guess that's it. (I don't know the apk names for the "services" I mentioned... it seems possible that those are the same ones, or the ICS "successors".)
Glad you got it fixed.
To anyone compiling a "de-bloat" list for stock ICS, please note that.

Moto app v2.2.8
here is the link
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/motorola-mobility-llc/
did anyone try to update, what is working and what is not?
The fact they are Moto updates means everything should be working Otherwise they probably wouldn't be released
So yes, clearly they are working. And working great. UI changes are meh though. And you can ALWAYS downgrade if the updates don't work
i upgraded camera - nothing seems new, new icon
then upgraded gallery - 5.0 icon, highlight reel added like on 2014 moto x
The camera and gallery work the rest do not work at all and break touchless for me
Has anyone else actually loaded and tried these
update: motorola mobility llc. decided to remove all .apks from website, so who downloaded and installed enjoy new updates and everyone else, wait for OTA which will be coming soon
Anyone have these apks that they can share?
Just curious, thanks.
Can anyone upload the moto contextual services 5.18.063？The file in the apkmirror is not found, many thanks……

I got all working from my phone thanks! I had to remove assist and reboot before the new moto apk would install. Thanks for posting! All worked for me.

My touch less display still works fine also.

Made a back up with titanium back up and uninstalled it after. Rebooted, then installed moto.apk however when launching moto it says its not compatible with device. So I deleted moto and restored assist. So all worked for me except the moto.apk no issues with them yet as well.
yes... moto app is not working but it will be in future, i think that is one of main reason why they removed all apks (who apply for soak testing probably know what am i talking) and the other reason is when ppl install context and update services it mess up their statistic...

For anyone wanting to have the Motorola Camera on a custom rom,

I can confirm that it works great with the AICP rom
and the CM12.1 rom
This is an installable APK, not a system app, so it doesn't replace the system camera.
thanks for the heads up. cool to use on stock rom too bc you can turn noise reduction completely off which takes away that oil painting look. nice!

worked great on a rooted stock rom clark... tnks!!!
Thanks for this but I just can't get it to work a hundred percent. It's like the touch screen is just off. On initial start up I have to hit the back button to get off the start up screen. I can't get the video camera to work cause when I tap on the video icon it just takes a pic. I can barely mess with the settings because half the icons won't do a thing when I tap on them.
It's like the screen calibration is bad.
I've uninstalled, reinstalled and redownloaded the apk. Wiped data within the app. I'm running AICP. Didn't work right on the 10/14 build and still not working with the 10/16 build.
Any suggestions? Is this working fine for anyone else?

I am running the latest AICP 10/16,
I don't have any of the issues that you are describing,
the buttons all work when they are pressed
and the screen focuses and takes a picture where I touch the screen
Did you change your screen density off of the default 560 dpi?
Also I haven't changed any of the settings in the Moto Camera, just using it the way it installs at this time.
I had issue when changing DPI on the screen, all the icons didnt res correctly. I just used Xposed with App Settings and set the original DPI... It worked a treat
Thanks guys yeah I changed my DPI I'm sure that's the issue. I've used that Xposed Module before I'll go ahead and get that up and running.
Thanks again I should have thought about the DPI.
so nice to be able to turn off that bad noise reduction that happens even in daylight... pictures look so much better. I wish there was a way to set this to be the main camera app when you do the twist motin.

I use the xposed module "moto checkbox" for the same advanced settings. The advantage of using this module over the modded apk is that double twist still works

can confirm, but I think the previous posters were talking about using the apk on non-stock roms. hence the need for xposed twist mod.
Just a word of caution. I tried replacing my /system/priv-app/ apps (MotCamera and MotGallery2) with these on stock and it broke my build. Even after reverting the files, it was so screwed up that I had to do a nandroid restore to recover. It might be because of the package names.

It might be because these are specifically designed to NOT be put into the priv-app,
they are designed to be a separate APK that runs in addition to the camera.
There are other attempts elsewhere that try to replace the built-in camera, but all of them I tried break various other things on the phone.
Also is why the following line is in the Op

Is your system still odexed? Was there an arm folder in the same folder with the apk? If so and you didn't delete it when replacing the apk, that is most likely the issue.

So i tried this, and I was able to replace the system app. However it wouldn't work with the twist motion (probably package name.
The deodexed stock has the gallery features built in, so I was able to get the default camera to expose its features though moto checkbox and it works with moto assist.

I'm looking to strip out the proprietary bloatware that came preinstalled on my device (already got rid of a bunch of amazon stuff via the ADB), and I'm wondering how much of the moto crap I can get rid of too without losing my ability to get automatic security updates. Right now I'm looking at Moto, Moto Actions, Moto App launcher, Moto Display, and Motorola Notifications. I'm looking at going to a different launcher, and I'm just trying to work out which of these apps is essential for the phone to continue functioning properly. If it's safe to do, I would also appreciate some help finding those package names so I can nuke them via ADB as well.
Update: did more research. Stripped out everything aside from the moto app launcher that I replaced with Evie. Only reason it's still installed is the fact that I can't work out the actual APK name.

AT&T, but I got it unlocked from amazon. I ended up using the ADB to remove all of the amazon crap as well as almost all of the moto proprietary stuff, (I only left the launcher I think) and it's been fine so far.

So why bother keeping the launcher if you went with another? I'm about to remove em all too but I'm on Google Fi's Android One version. I don't think I need any of Motorola's bloatware and I hate the idea of excess apps taking my space, RAM, and battery EVER.
I am surprised there's no one else chiming in on what's needed to o keep her functional. I like lean and mean

Cine Shot (Partial Motion Still Photos) working on LG V30 - APP link & Instructions.
Hey all, been a while since I've had any new discoveries because I have been busy with a move across the country, but I think this one was worth waiting for :good:
This post is a tough one to categorize, as its an "app" and its a "mod" but I also needed to include a little guide to help you all get it working. So I went with the Apps and Mods section, but if an Admin thinks this should go in the Guides section, I am totally cool with that.
Pre Install Notes:
This has been tested on my Rooted & Frankensteined LG V30 ThinQ LS-L998 on Sprint running US99827a software Security Patch Jan 1.19.
I do not know if this will work on non rooted devices simply because I haven't been able to test it on one. I do believe that this will work the same on a non-root V30 but I'll wait for confirmation from one of you... SOOOO if you have a non rooted device and you try this out, please let us know if its working.
Thank Yous:
A big thanks to @trouble. for requesting the G8 stock system apps in the G8 section & thanks to @iknow786 for originally providing the files which I used to make the link to the cineshot app below. If I did not happen across that thread we wouldn't have this new trick, so thank you both. Also a big thanks to all of the awesome folks that have kept the V30 development alive and kicking this long into the devices lifecycle. Very cool to see so many talented people still doing things for this community every single day. I cant begin to list everyone, but if you are active in here, you know who the folks are that have been grinding away at this all this time.
Ok so lets get you CineShooting!
Step 1) Go to the following link...
https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Pxy8B1k19Q8ALiHc1FeYUHb3c8y4DnJI
Steo 1a) Download, and install the CineShot apk.
(Im hosting this on one of my drives, so if anyone has issues with the download, now or months from now, PM me and I'll fix it. If its a while from now and you just write "dead link" in this thread I prob won't see it, so that's why I am recommending a PM. )
(Since I have not yet figured out how to integrate this new app into our camera app, you will need to launch the CineShot main process using one of the programs I will mention in step 2. I am including some screenshots for those new to this. Hopefully this post will be updated in the future with how to integrate the cineshot capabilities into the regular camera section, but for now this is what we have)
Step 2) Once you have installed the CineShot apk to your device you will need a shortcut maker program to access it.
Personally I am partial to Shortcut Master, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite&hl=en but other apps like "QuicksShortcutMaker" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut&hl=en_US (tested and works) should word as well. So if you don't already have one, download one of those two or your own favorite.
Step 2a) Open your shortcut program and find CineShot by either scrolling to it or searching "Cine" or "CineShot". No matter which program you used you should see at least one option under the CineShot app ending with the words ".MainActivity ". Go ahead and favorite or create shortcut for this process, as you'll want to have a quick way to get back to CineShot mode. Now go ahead and click that option and your device should launch into cineshot mode.
Cine Shot Mode - How-To:
Pretty basic stuff here. Point and shoot at whatever you want (objects should be moving in your frame otherwise your just taking a normal picture). It will record 3 seconds. After it stabilizes your "video" it will then show you options to draw with your finger on the moving parts of the images that you still want to move. Do this, and then save. You now have a cineshot image with partial movement of the image.
That's it. Pretty easy stuff. If you followed the very simple steps you should be able to record using either your front or back camera, and cineshot should be fully working, or at least as fully as it can on our devices. Enjoy.
I don't have any fun stuff nearby to post a good example of a cool Cine Shot Pic, so if you guys and gals take any, please share so people can see what the fuss is about.
And as always, feel free to share the love with a click on that "Thanks" button if this post helped you out
*** Reserved for future post - updates ***
Side Note: From that same cache of G8 apks, I was able to get the My Avatar app partially working using the same steps as above but with that specific APK obviously. Unfortunately, while it will take my picture, it will not spit out an avatar, so some sort of framework or back end stuff is not enabled. Anyone that has access to the newer devices with this, if you can find the additional necessary files, we could prob get this working too.
Anyone interested in checking out the G8 stock apps in the original thread I mentioned above can find that thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g8/themes/lg-g8-preinstalled-apps-t3904050
Other apps that I got to install from the g8 are these: Humanavatar (My Avatar) LGContentsettings (Wallpaper and Theme. Not sure what this updates though) and an update to the Tasks app.
Be cautious installing things you don't know anything about. As always, its your phone, so beware, and there are no guarantees yada yada yada.
It doesn't integrate with the camera because only camera apps built for pie onwards have that functionality. Once enabled in camera config files it crashes the camera app immediately.

Any idea why it crashes it? I mean other than it wasnt meant to work. Since the actual mode is functional I wonder if anything is actually missing in the Oreos framework/camera that needs to be there.

Gotcha. That makes sense.
I'm glad you commented, as I was going to message you to ask your opinion on the My Avatar creation feature I mentioned after the original post. I can get it to snap a pic of my face, and it recognize I'm a person and takes the pic, but when it goes to process and spit out an Avatar it fails.
Since you're a good bit more advanced than I am, maybe you had an idea about what's keeping it from working.
