Hey all,
Just wanted to get some opinions on this. My Bionic has been having a fair amount of issues as of late. It seems every CLNR replacement phone I have gotten has had one issue or another. Verizon offered to bump me up to the Razr for my trouble and time. The question is when I got my Bionic I got the extended battery with it. Would you make the trade? Or push for the Razr Maxx since it is a closer comparison to the Bionic w/ extended battery? (Which was purchased at Verizon as well) Just looking for some conversation on it, and maybe some ideas on what I should do...
Thanks in advance!
push for the galaxy nexus, best of both worlds.
You think the Nexus trumps Bionic and Razr Maxx?
maybe not on battery life, but the developer support and (half-ass) google support really makes a good choice. NFC is very nice also.
Wait for Razr HD?
I believe the Moto G has almost similar hardware to our AHD, thus got me wondering is there any such thing as rom port for AHD?

I'm sure @dhacker29 can tell you how much of an epic fail suggesting that, and creating this thread was.
Hey guys. I am looking for some opinions on these 2 phones. I currently have a rooted/bootloader unlocked verizon LG go but I am strongly considering selling it and buying a Moto X. I owned last year's moto x and once rooted, it was the best android phone I ever owned.
I like the smaller size of this year's moto x when compared to the g3 and also the fact that it runs a stock version of Android. I know at some point the g3 will get aosp roms that will solve the stock Android issue but you never really know how buggy those my be.
My concern about going with the moto x is losing root for things like adaway, greenify, and mobile hotspot. Also concerned about the battery life on the moto x. Should these items be a concern or can they be address without root?
I really like the moto x smaller footprint. Granted when it was announced, I was disappointed that it grew so much but all phones are bigger now and I think it's size is the best of what's available on verizon.
Please give me your thoughts. Thanks.

Hey guys. Total XDA noob here.
I got my n6 came from the 2013 motox.
I love the n6 but there's one thing I miss bad enough to consider going back to the x.
Moto assist.
So this is a request/challenge. Can anyone help me get the apk for moto assist up and running on my N6?
And I'm decent for a noob with side loading and what not.

I second this. As it would be awesome.
Moto assist is nice but I really miss Moto display...ambient display is terrible. Is there any precedence for porting an oem software to a non supported device?

I actually tried that yesterday, Assist installs just fine but when launched it displays an "Unsupported device" message. Modality won't even install. My Nexus 6 isn't rooted though so I didn't try modifying the build.prop but setting it to a 2014 Moto X might do the trick.
Maybe all it takes is a simple build.prop edit to make the app believe it's a 2014 X?
Can anyone walk me through setting the build.prop to a motox 2014? Or would that cause me to lose other functionality in other apps?
The moto assist app works on a partition of its dual core processor. I don't think it is as simple as changing a build.prop.
What part of assist do you want? If it's the voice texting while driving try the Agent App. It's a pretty good replacement for the driving portion of moto assist.
Anyone try the APKs from the Droid Turbo system dump? Since they're practically identical wrt specs & resolution, I'd expect those files to work with the N6... except Lollipop isn't out yet on that platform...

Pretty much just the driving portion

Yeah then try agent. You'll have to configure it initially because its set to auto reply to texts while driving. It reads your texts to you and asks if you want to reply in basically the same way. It detects your driving when connected to specific Bluetooth devices. It has motion detection but it is in beta but I never tested it since I preferred to activate when connected to Bluetooth.
I've been thinking a lot about this. Truthfully the whole voice command/response with the moto x was a far better experience. What are the chances of a custom ROM that incorporates the moto x features? I don't know what I'm gonna do without those features
Good point. I just bought a 2013 Moto X to see what the world knows about Moto phones that I did not. I got the DE edition for $229, great price.
I'm really liking the hands free aspect of the Moto apps. I was psyched to buy the N6, but it's lack of the Moto apps has me hesitating. I really miss Qi charging & believe it was a misstep to not include it on either Moto. Cool to see the new Druid, but is on Verizon only. Be very cool if these apps or a rom could be developed to incorporate these features. In the meantime, I'm biding time with the Moto X until there's N6 stock or a similar Moto phone to the Droid that will work with AT&T.

Yea I'm missing my x but the n6 is a better device overall. We'll see what happens over the next couple weeks with development. I'd pay to have the x's feature set though.
I'd really like to get Moto Display ported as well... Don't like the play store alternatives.
was anyone successfully able to get moto assist to work with the N6?
Moto X Pro will bring some hope
As motorola is launching Moto X Pro there is a hope that Nexus 6 can get moto Assist, as both share same configuration. :good:

Not yet, but possibly soon
Ah those features would be pretty nice on the N6
They come in handy, its a nice suite of features. I look forward to this as well.
I believe it was due this month some time.
I was wondering the same thing? I'm hoping this will help us get some of the moto x features (since they are better implementations) on the nexus 6.
Yeah, I've been wondering about the release too.
If this caused some of the Moto X goodies to come our way...
Seriously, I'd be excited as all hell.
I love my Nexus 6, but there are so many things about it/Lollipop that I think this could fix.
Priority Notifications instead of vibrate is annoying
No called twice option to push through a call
Active display isn't near as good as my wife's Gen 1 moto x
Well, it has now gotten an unboxing. It can't be long now.

Xt1115 I can't find what bands it supports but hopefully we can just port over the framework and apps
