Hi,
as seen from Motorola Android 5.1 release notes, only Moto Active Display utilizes special low-power processor for displaying notifications, but Ambient display feature, that is built-in Lolipop and CM12 mods doesn't use that advantage. My question is: are there any ROMs that are able to utilize it, except of stock-based ROMs? Maybe someone has managed to get Moto drivers for this processor and include it in their ROM?
Thanks,
a.
None, sorry. Only stock based roms.
as you can see in this gerrit review doze package was added to cm12.1 which can access moto sensors to detect pickup and other stuff. i dont know if it uses the low power sensors for detection.
Thanks! I wish they were able to do that, I really don't want notifications to drain the battery, that is why I'm still on rooted stock KitKat

Since the Moto X and other recent Droids are available for root now, I'm wondering: will hackers be able to modify Touchless Control settings? Or is that a closed source part of Android that no one can touch except for Motorola?
Or at least, will we be able to write code that's specifically for the context and voice processors that are unique to the new Motorola phones?
I've never hacked around with Android ROMs but it seems to me that the addition of these processors could mean a playground with a lot of potential to hackers. Wouldn't mind taking a stab at it myself
It likely won't be possible. The best we may get is to at least be able to take the custom touchless binaries and compile them into a custom ROM so that we get all the benefits of stock x8 functions in custom ROMs. But I doubtthat code will be released fforttweaking. Compile the binaries is the most I'd expect which is enough for me, but we may not even get that.
Hey everyone,
I unlocked my boot loader, rooted, and flashed CM11 on my Moto X a couple days ago. I am only missing the Active Display feature from stock and wanted to replace it with something from the play store. I am running into a problem with both acDisplay and Dynamic Notifications apps. They both work when I get notifications, however do not work at all when set to "active mode". They should be using proximity and motion sensors to imitate how the Moto X normally operates. Does anyone know a way to get them to work similar to how they are "advertised" to work?
I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to your issue..
But I wanted to say, any app that mimics Active Display will take a great toll on your battery life. Active display is designed to use an extremely small amount of battery on the Moto X.... Any other app will not be so battery friendly.
This is why the majority of users stick to stock, with Xposed and Gravity Box for customization.... Or use stock based roms, that have the unique moto features in them.

In not seeing where either of those apps claim to use the sensors in a similar way as stock active display. Where do you see that they are advertised to do so?
Edit: scratch that. I do see that acdisplay claims to use the sensors.... Not sure why it isn't working for you.
@KJ is correct that they will use much more battery than stock AD, which takes advantage of the low voltage components of the X.
Hi!
I've extensively googled, reddited and searched on XDA, but haven't found an answer.
Are there ROMs supporting the "voice anywhere"-feature (the sound processor of the Moto X) to be activated even with an activated lockscreen/handsfree?
I've setup my room with Philips Hue Lights and various interactions with other devices via tasker and all is controlled via the "Moto Voice/Auto Voice" feature.
I'm unrooted yet but would like to switch to a custom rom now, but haven't found anything conclusive whether the devs were able to implement the always-listening function.
Alas I think I can say for sure it doesn't exist ..there's one for the 1st gen so maybe there is hope
The ones for 2013 are only modified stock not aosp. Far as I know the moto specific features like touch less controls and active display or whatever they call them now are not open source this you will not find them on anything but stock

Does anyone know if I would get the benefits of Motorola's proprietary drivers used by Moto Display if I simply installed an AOSP ROM and then installed the Moto Display on top of it?
Well that's not really a thing, since those drivers are embedded in the stock firmware. Same for Moto Voice.
Ambient display and OK Google are really not worth the hassle of trying to make them work like Moto software, cause they can't.
Good news for Stock Motorola devices.
The newest moto apps are available and most of them work with Lux on Nougat.

My experience:
NOTE: I am on stock nougat build with custom Squid R22c kernel.
The following apps worked:
1. Contacts: I don't know why will it not!
2. FM Radio: Though I didn't see any significant changes yet.
3. Moto Display: This app is smooth! Except the landscape thing people are talking about, notification dots work. The LCD back-light fade in and out looks better with this version. No more abrupt brightness changes. The trigger is also better, even better than the original moto display back in the marshmallow days IMO. I rate it a 5/5 in my daily usage.
4. File Manager: Yes, it worked but no I didn't use it because I have solid explorer purchased.
5. Moto App launcher: The homescreen has no bugs but the google now feed doesn't work. (Just use the pixel launcher port, they're mostly similiar)
What crashed:
1. Moto App: It installed sucessfully but said device unsupported.
2. Camera: It didn't install on my device.
N.B. Strangely the moto display failed(Installed well but broke the lock button) on a Moto E4 plus on Mediatek SoC. The previous APK from the moto X4 did work well with it.
Does it have to be a stock ROM? And not maybe LineageOS?
How did you activate it?

I tested them on a stock ROM, it just replaced the stock moto apps.
As I think lineage OS doesn't natively support moto ennhancements, It may not work. But can you bring the attention of this to the developers? They might be able to port it to other Lineage Based ROMs.
