Hi,
I have notice two things different from Nexus :
- Preinstalled calendar app is not the Google native calendar that we can found in Play Store. ( but it's easy to do the replacement ).
- Native E-Mail app from play store is not compatible with new Moto X : this one is annoying...
Did someone notice it ?
Edit : ok, just contacted Moto Support because the Play Store is telling me E-Mail app not compatible with new Moto X.
They should contact me later to give me answer.

I thought other than the special Moto features (e.g. Moto Voice) it was stock android. So it has it's own Moto email and calendar apps?
Is is stock android e-mail app. But for an unknown reason you can't update it with the version from play store.
I have asked support about this and i'm still waiting for an answer.

This is rather petty...
I used the original X for a while and loved the touch less control, but always hated the marginally but noticeably longer wait for the spoken request to be inputted into the google search app. The google hotword detection (within the google app) was not compatible. I am considering buying the New X and was wondering if anyone knew of a way to use the default google voice search without using moto voice?
You have to choose one or the other, unfortunately.
Hi, i got a Moto X Pro, essentially a Nexus 6 from China but it comes without Google Play store and else.
I tried to install both Google play Store APK and Google Play services APK , the framework and loggin, i log in my google account but when i try to open App store i get the "google services stopped" error. Restart the phone and no luck. Please help my out!. Thanks!

Has it 2 sim slots, FM and TV? :cyclops: :laugh:
Are you still in China? My work has a plan there and I know in parts of China Google does not work due to the government blocks it. I know this because when we have to go over to support the factory we can not use google there.
nahh he got the phone from someone that came from china (i know oscar) but basically he intends to use the phone in Mexico ..
i have that phone on my hands after a brick, i recently restored to factory default firmware due to a bad Update that happened after he rooted and tried to update... (i think it doesnt have any security measures for the updates :/)
so basically
i want to know how similar is to the nexus 6 and if the phone can be loaded with the normal nexus 6 frimware
or if there is away to add a good set of google apps (like on ROMS) @oscarcorreab
I have the exact same issue. I have tried everything including root techniques, installing google apk via third party to make google services work but the google play services not working pop up annoys me constantly. How does one make the moto x pro work ? I have bought this phone now I need to be able to use google play store on it.
I'm trying to see if I can install moto active display on a custom ROM.
I downloaded Moto, Moto Voice, Motorola Modality Services, and Moto Active Display from various places online since Google play store says that my device is not compatible.
All installed fine, but cannot seem to launch active display. Having trouble find the apk with the system/priv-app or system/apk.
Any ideas, or will this be fruitless?
I'm thinking that there has to be a setting within the build.prop or a missing apk/lib file that could do the trick.
Thx!

Moto apps use specialized hardware that uses proprietary drivers (not open source). Custom ROMS unfortunately cannot make use of that hardware, therefore, moto apps cannot function on custom ROM.
Install AC Display app from Play. It's similar to Moto Display with loads of options.
But still it cant match Moto Display.

My objective is to enable this reported feature on my new Moto X4. Motorola help says "Simply open the Moto Alexa app and sign into your Amazon account. Then, train your device using the voice prompts provided. Now say "Alexa" even when the phone is locked and Alexa will activate! Easy!"
NOTso easy so far, as there is no "Moto Alexa" app in the play store. Further, there is a "Moto" App on the X4 that contains "Moto Actions" and Moto Display" but no "Moto Alexa". Any help in this area would be appreciated.
Did you try just downloading Alexa from the Play Store?
Where did you buy the phone from? The Android one or Fi version will not have alexa working only google assistant.
Adding the Alexa App does nothing to enable "Alexa Functionality" in the Moto X4. I did purchase vua Project Fi/Google. I was hoping that the embedded Alexa Functionality in the European Version of the Moto X4 could be enabled/ and used in the USA. I have no use for Google's voice assistants.
The Android One version announced that it would not come with the Moto Alexa or Moto Voice.
I have a similar problem. I'd like to enable voice control for the native camera app. The Motorola website seems to indicate that the Moto App has a Voice controls section but mine does not. Google assistant will respond to voice commands to open the camera but will not "take a photo" or "take a selfie." Surprising that Project Fi seems to have disabled camera voice commands in their version.
Anyone knows a way to install and use google phone/dialer app instead of the default moto that comes preinstalled and is a system app, impossible to uninstall without root.
I prefer Google's dialer because of the spam filter.
I am stock on the retail version, BL locked, no root.
Thanks
Just try out an apk from a third party source.
Google Phone
This is the one that's installed on the X4 Project Fi version. You don't have to uninstall the Moto one just make the Google dialer the default.

Unfortunately, this one fails to install....
EDIT - That said, I did find this, and it installs!!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-phone-v14-0-175904292-bubble-t3708218
But no spam filter...
That APK says "Does not work:
1. Spam Caller ID (automatically filter suspected spam calls)"
My Android one x4 came with Google phone app but no caller ID / spam setting. Cannot find any info on this defect.
