Will Moto Suite be compatible with N6? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Would be nice to get some Moto apps like moto voice, display and assist on the phone.

Good question. I am speculating no. A lot of the original Moto experience is now inside Lollipop, so you get OK Google Now and all of that. I don't think the 6 has the extra IR sensors.

I did read in the L change log that it will support ok Google while the screen is turned off. Was hoping for the reading texts aloud and respond while driving. AGENT app will help with that if it's not available on the n6. Active display I guess could be replaced with dynamic since it's an amoled screen.

How does Dynamic handle security passcode on the phone? Since DN's security feature isn't built-in, it acts really weird and could easily be bypassed. I would think Moto Display would be tighter.

Moto display world be tighter for sure but if it's not compatible then dynamic would be the alternative. I'm hoping moto suite somehow is compatible but I'm not optimistic about it

I think it is AMOLED.

Not sure if it will have moto voice, but it will have "Ok Google" with the screen off.

This is the one question I'm really hoping the answer is yes. I really like the Moto Suite on the Moto X 2014, but the storage and battery size on the N6 are a big selling point to me. I don't want to have to choose, so I'm hoping the two devices are similar enough that someone figures out a way to hack the Moto Apps onto it.
(I know some of the functionality of the Moto Apps is already baked into Lolipop, but it's sounding like Moto's implementation is more fully featured.)

We've never had any OEM software on previous devices so I don't see why this would change

I guess the closest thing we got were the Google play edition phones that had stock android but a few tweaks to work with the infrared blasters and HTC camera.

That's the reverse though. That was Google releasing their stuff to OEM. Not OEM releasing their stuff to Google.
GPE had OEM frameworks.

You can ask this question about any new device that comes out. Would you upgrade from your current phone to a newer phone? And my answer is that if your current phone does everything you need it to, then there's no point in upgrading.

N5 pros over MotoX
- colourful LED notifications
- strong dev community
- processor
Moto X pros over N5
- everything else
So unless those few things bother you, just stick with the Moto X
If the Nexus 5 releases with a larger battery option I will be all over it.
If it has the same size battery as the moto x I will not be picking it up.
This phone has me absolutely addicted to all day battery life.

N5 probably won't be on Verizon at the $400 price point. But I would be all over it on a gsm carrier.

I'm getting the N5 the moment it's out. That doesn't mean I'm switching though. The Moto X will likely remain my primary phone. I just like wasting my money on things I don't need.

Am I the only person here who couldn't care less about what version of android the X gets updated to? The phone is perfect as is. I bought it for the features it was advertised to have, and Motorola delivered in spades. From this point on, if it never receives another update, I will still be just as happy with it.
Switching seems a bit crazy, but if I didn't already own the Moto X and wasn't majorly dissapointed with my Nexus 7, then yeah, I'd probably go for the Nexus 5, since I think it looks nice and its cheaper. Either way, I already own the Moto X and I'm very happy with it.

1) Moto X got rid of the LED notifications because they're using active notifications which are more helpful.
2) Yes that may be true
3) Processors aren't everything but fine.

I agree. 4.3 was an incremental update and 4.4 barely more than that. On this device I doubt either update will really make much of a difference... Not that I don't want them, it just doesn't seem important when the phone runs spectacularly as it is. That's the same reason I don't care about the lack of development.

Yes, processors aren't everything but the N5 with out a doubt has a better CPU and GPU and will have a better dev community which will lead to a better working phone. Active notifications are awesome but only if you're near your phone. If your phone is charging on a desk a couple of meters away from you and you hear it vibrate how will active notification tell you what happened?

It still flashes on screen every few seconds if you have a new text, email, missed call, etc. The only time this feature auto shuts off to my knowledge is at night (configurable) and when the phone is in your pocket or face down.
Besides all that, I'm sure the N5 will be a great phone with great support, however the chances of it coming to Verizon are slim to none so its not even an option for a lot of us.

You wont be able to tell what it is. With an RGB LED you can set different colours to represent different types of notifications.
Anyway, I keep hearing everyone say Verizon has terrible phone options. What's so special about Verizon that you guys stay (I'm from Canada)?
Verizon has the best signal, but has a soviet union business model and is expensive. However it works everywhere. Only reason I stay is cause I use my phone for business. My bonus is sticking 20+ gigs to them every month

[Q] SmartActions?

Coming from the Bionic as a past phone, I liked Moto's Smart Actions. Its not on the X, but Assist is. Assist only has 2 profiles, and there doesn't seem to be a way to add any others. Am I just missing something? Is there away to add more profiles or choices?
Using SmartActions on my Bionic was pretty seamless, I didn't see any negative impact on battery,and I didn't know it was running. If there is no way to add to Moto Assist on the X, is there any way to get Smart Actions onto a non-rooted X? (the listing in Plays says the X is incompatible, so wont download it,).
If not, what are your suggestions for a good, simple, alternative?
I'm really only looking to do a couple of things...
1. When at work (based on GPS location), turn off wifi, and set phone to vibrate.
2. When I leave work, return to previous settings
3. When at home (based on GPS location), Turn ON wifi, bluetooth, set phone to loudest volume
Thanks!

works fine on my moto x. so far i am only using three of them, work, run, drive.
Looks good.. missing only phone triggered actions; in my case "VIP" phone calls (i.e. the Wife) coming thru even when silenced (as at work). Any possibilities for this in Trigger? Tasker etc are too complicated/ advanced for me..
I like an app called automateit found on the playstore.

[Q] How long do you think until 5.0 for Moto X Pure Edition?

So now that Android 5.0 Lollipop is announced, we get to the (impatient) waiting game.
How long do you think before 5.0 finds its way to the Moto X Pure Edition?
They said in the coming weeks for the Nexus 5/7/10 and GPE phones. My speculation is 5-10 days for Nexus, 11-17 days for GPE, 18-30 days before X PE sees the update, and another 1-2 months before it finds its way to the carrier versions.
Here is where they will announce it:

Is it just me, or is there no way to pick the Pure Edition on there? I know it doesn't matter currently, but thought it was odd.
With the original moto x pure edition it was about a month after nexus devices that the moto got its update so I would say a couple of weeks after the nexus so late Nov...
They are pushing the vanilla expierence for the pure, and one of the boasts said it would be almost days after nexus, but that cant be reliable. For someone who had rocked L on their nexus 5 it cant come soon enough.
Anyone know how long after the pure moto x (2013) got updated for the at&t moto x to get it?
Sent from my XT1097 using XDA Free mobile app
With the old moto x it was about 2 months after the pure got updated
Quick question: if I bought my phone full price does that mean it is the pure edition?

It will come when it will come. All the speculation won't make it get here any faster. Moto's track record with the 2013 models, including the Droid line, was stellar. Very quick update to KitKat. My Droid Maxx got it before even the Moto X crowd.

My personal unknowing opinion, by end of next month.
Something tells me it'll be really fast.
Like, same day/next day fast (I'm talking about Pure Edition of course)
The OS on the Moto X is as bare as it can possibly be. There's nothing to port, really.
All Moto-specific features (Moto Assist, Moto Voice etc.) are separate PlayStore apps.
And Nexus 6 pretty much is Moto X, only blown up. So there's no tangible reason for one handset to get Lollipop waaay before the other.

I mean they look the same, but they have completely different specs so saying that the N6 is a blown up Moto X is not an accurate statement.

I am believing it'll be really fast too. Trusted devices doesn't need to be incorporated anymore. Google has their own ambient mode, so Moto could follow that. In Lollipop, the "ok Google" anytime is like Moto Voice, so perhaps less code to deal with. Lollipop looks like it does all the heavy lifting for Moto features. Motorola may have less work to do, except the camera app. They better focus on the camera app. They have no excuse since the APIs are there

Moto has the final Lollipop build and has probably already been setting it up for updating. The only thing that could hold it up would be carriers.

Nexus 6 and the Lack of Moto Suite

I'm really torn. I strongly prefer the size, battery and specs of the Nexus 6 over the MotoX. The only thing that gives me pause is the lack of Moto Suite. I find the Moto Suite features valuable (things like read/respond to text while driving, etc.). I also like the always listening Moto Hint Bluetooth Earpiece and it's advanced features that presumably only work with Moto phones. I know theres been some talk of the possibility of Moto Suite possibly being made available/porting to the Nexus 6. Any recent information/thoughts on this?
I would really like to see this also. Maybe it can be ported to the Nexus 6 somehow.

I do have a Moto X the old one it's my work phone and it's actually has a lot of good stuff. Very useful and fun. If the hardware is the same as moto I believe someone will do it.
Agent app is a good replacement for moto assist texting while driving feature. It works basically the same. I used it on my nexus 5. I'll miss small things about touchless control like "what's up?" And how it will read your notifications. The option voice command a call and it'll automatically use speaker phone. "Find my phone" and it'll start ringing so you can locate it in a room.

I'm not sure what you expected? This is a phone made by Motorola for Google's Nexus line of devices. The Nexus line of devices are very well known to be AOSP (Plus the required drivers and kernel to make it work) + Google Services and that's it. If you want a device that has this, wait for Motorola to make a device with the same or better internals, same screen but not a Nexus device, look for alternatives to the Moto Suite on the play store, or figure out how to make the Moto Suite work on the Nexus 6.
Thanks for all the replies/suggestions so far. No, I wasn't/am not now "expecting" anything. However, I think I reflect a lot of others feelings that the Nexus 6 with Moto Suite included would be a better device. Alternatives in the Play Store are a possibility, however incomplete and far from seamless. Somehow getting the Moto Suite itself to work would be ideal. (Generating ideas of how to accomplish this is the purpose of this thread). Although I'm still "on the fence", waiting for Motorola to make a device with a similar screen size and same or better internals is certainly a possibility for me.

Moto Suite works on every phone made by Motorola, except Nexus 6, it is totally unacceptable esp since the hardware is completely compatible.
We can assume that some Moto apps that are available in the play store will be available to install.
My friend has a Moto G GPE and he was able to install Moto Mirgrate, Help, and camera, no modifications needed. However, Moto Assist shows as incompatible with the device.

Since this is AOSP the framework files are most likely not there. This is also not an ordinary Moto device, this is a Motorola device designed for Googles Nexus line.

It makes perfect sense and is totally acceptable. Moto suite is a feature for Motorola's flagship devices(I.e. all of them, x,g,e). The Nexus 6 is not a Motorola device. Its a Google device only manufactured by Motorola.
We are however already seeing many of the great features that were exclusive to the first round of moto devices from last year built into Android such as Ambient Notifications, always listening "OK google" which is great. I'm sure well see more to come as google kept a lot when they sold Motorola.

Ambient display looks similar but in no way is close to moto display. Moto display uses the low power contextual processor in order to save battery. Ambient display uses the amoled ability to fire up specific pixels in order not to waste battery. The minute you interact with ambient display the screen fires up 100 percent. Moto display let's you interact without ever using the primary processor until you unlock. It's a step in the right direction but not there just yet.

As the OP, I don't want to see this thread go down the path of of bickering of what "should be" expected or not. Even as a "pure android" device, no one has ever stated that the Moto Suite would be a negative. All seem to agree it would make it a better device. This is a community of techies/hackers. After the device comes out, perhaps a path will be found to implement it. For those of us who feel this feature is important enough (myself included), we will wait and see what happens after the product is in the hands of developers. If it's not possible, than waiting for a future Moto device with similar specs to the Nexus 6 is an alternative.

Porting moto Assist to N6

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...

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.

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.
