One of my relatives owns the XT1770.
According to him the XT1770 has an ambient display and one the feature suddenly stopped working.
I tried looking around in settings but found no such option.
Does the XT1770 have an ambient display? If yes, where is the option to enable it?

I can't verify that this will work for that phone, I don't have that model, but if it is supported: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/enable-ambient-display-for-easier-interaction/

maybe it is reffering the moto display in moto app.

Thread title.
It would be absurd not to include them as this phone can clearly run Active Not. But maybe theyre not adding them so people who want this feature pay $300 more for the Moto X.
I believe Active Display requires an AMOLED type Display which is only found on the old and new Moto X. The Display technology of the Moto G, which is an IPS LCD, function differently and afaik just isnt capable of this feature.
No, even if it does have AMOLED Motorola won't allow it, since it's reserved for the X. But they did update the Assist app to show more features to the G. You can download the third-party Active Display app called AcDisplay.
And you can use Light Flow to control the LED.
Can someone tell me or direct me to what active notification/moto display is?

Just search for Moto X Active Display on YouTube, it is now renamed to Moto Display.
So, the IR blasters on the Moto X are pretty radical and Active Display really is perfect... well, almost.
Personally I think Active Display looks pretty bad, so I was wondering if it is possible to disable it and use Ambient Display from Lollipop instead? Will it function the same? What about third party apps like AcDisplay, are they capable of using the IR blasters?
On that note are there any other apps that can use the IR blasters for anything else, not necessarily for notifications?
According to Motorola if you use Ambient Display, Moto Display (Active Display) will be disabled meaning the gesture using the IR sensors will not work.
"The Moto Actions Approach gesture will not wake Ambient Display." -Moto X 2014 changelog
I was curious about this myself and was hoping there was a 3rd party solution for this. I too would like to use the approach gesture to turn on ambient display instead of active display.
These aren't ir blasters, they're just sensors.

+1! An exposed module would be great.
Using a Moto Maxx, but I guess it should work just the same right?
Can we reach a dev to get on board?
Hi all,
The only reason i have not installed a custom rom yet is because I do not want to lose the amazing moto actions. Can we use the moto actions on a custom rom in any way?
Thanks guys
Cheers

I have built the actions that seem important to me as a new implementations of actions for CyanogenMod. Probably all customs ROMs are reusing that work. Look in the CM 12.0 thread for a screen shot of the options that are going to be configurable in CM 12.1.
That said, what actions to you use?

sorry for the late reply.
thats great. I mainly use the twist to open camera, the hand swype over the phone to check if i have any notifications. Have these been implemented?

Yes those are implemented. I just like to ask people what they use in case there are other useful gestures I haven't implemented (I honestly never used stock on my phone so I depend on others to give me feedback on what is useful related to stock behaviour....).
Is Moto voice the only thing that doesn't have an alternative?
Moto display?

Ambient Display just wakes the screen when you get a notific. Moto Display actually wakes it every time you pick the phone up,or nudge it, which is super handy to check the time and all. I have been asking if this is possible in CM13 but so far no one has replied.

Moto Display handles notifications differently from Ambient display. See this link:
http://www.androidcentral.com/inside-moto-x-active-display?_ga=1.123258498.820442600.1451317275
I prefer the way Moto Display notifies and then allows a peek at the information. I have not been able to get Ambient Display to behave the same way. I believe that Moto Display also uses the display differently from Ambient Display. Moto Display is supposed to only light the pixels required for the notification to save battery as opposed to energizing the whole display.
I wonder if the Moto Display apk can be sideloaded and installed on CM13? Moto and Moto Actions can be downloaded from the Play store but they do not include Moto Display functionality. Moto Voice can also be downloaded from the Play Store.

@squid2 recently added support for Moto Camera and Gallery in CM13 for Moto E2 Otus. I can't even download Actions or Moto. Could you please ask him if it is possible for this app as well, even on Lux maybe?

noob. You can download from Play. But you can't use it on custom ROM (CM). Try yourself !
there's a flashable zip for moto display its for stock moto x 2015 but i flashed the zip on my moto x 2014 running nx rom, it seems it can work but for some reason the ambient display turns on when i turn on moto display....is there any way to fix this i guess it needs a little workaround maybe ?
but 'moto' and 'moto actions' needs to be installed as well from playstore
i've attached the flashable zip
for the IR sensors to work with moto display extract the arm.rar and paste those to files into system/lib and give root permission and reboot
i did not create this zip i found it on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63574299&postcount=2

yes it will work no doubt but i guess it needs a little workaround i fisrt tried on NX ROM....flashed the zip via and then you need to go to playstore and install moto and moto actions as well to see moto display and now i've flashed it on RR ROM, it gets installed the only thing for both of the rom is that when moto display is enabled ambient display turns on as well and that's the problem...if there was a way to disable ambient display or delete it...then i guess moto display would had triggered
it needs a little workaround to be fully functional like i said
I didn't knew moto gesture was needed. I can install it and I see the two : "motorola gesture" and "moto screen" in the home menu of the Moto app
But when i wave my hand over the device it activate the screen with the ambient display design (just the clock and notification like in the notification center (rectangular))
I don't know if i'm missing something but i'd like to help you if I can cause i miss this feature from the stock rom
I don't understand if you have both Ambient display AND Moto Display (I think it would be weird )
Oh and by the way sorry is the traduction & the English aren't perfect, i'm french and my device is in french too ..

yeah i can do that but how will i contact the author of the rom ?? can you tell him this instead....or i was also thinking that on the next build of rr rom for moto x 2014 the ambient display should be removed and there should be moto display instead ?
and i also have libactions_irservice_stm.so file all those if its needed

oh you have to enable root explorer swipe from left to right in your es file explorer scroll down and enable root explorer it will then ask you for permission grant it and then copy those two lib file in your system/lib and paste there and give root permission
but still it doesn't works even after giving root permission to those two files maybe something is missing or could be due to ambient display

So I just happened to come across this thread, interesting that it seems to work with the stock version of the MotoDisplay APK... (it hasn't been modified or anything)
Does the NX Rom have a custom APK to determine if the proximity sensor has been tripped (I know the CM rom's have this)? If so, then it could be that which is triggering the Active Display, and you would just change it to calling the MotoDisplay methods instead...

all the custom roms including NX rom or RR rom has ambient display feature, when moto display enabled the ambient display turns on as well and so ambient display triggers but if i go into settings and disable ambient display it seems that the IR sensors does not work with moto display, the IR sensors are linked to display, i think we are missing something here if we could turn on those IR sensors with a file or lib/IR sensors service libs or if we could link those sensors with moto display then disabling ambeint display may work with moto display when hand waved, also yesterday i tried an app called active notify, enabling ambient display and active notify works when active notify is set as default lockscreen while disabling the ambient display does not works as the IR sensors turns off. So i think that if we can somehow link those IR sensors with moto display then i guess it will get the job done
I was asking myself, did you take a look of other forums like MotoG2 (even if it don't has an Amoled screen, the forum is really active) or MotoX Pure/style/play ? Maybe someone tried to port the Moto display feature on other phones.
Anyone knows why moto camera and pick up to wake ambient display doesnt work on roms?
Yeah I have the same question about the pick to wake ambient display..
I have also the same question
