[Q]Ambient Display|Marshmallow - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to enable Ambient Display in Stock Marshmallow, like it used to in Stock Lollipop?
I know, Moto Display is supposed to be efficient than Ambient Display, but MD messes up when one changes dpi, while AD doesn't.
Thanks

My answer (grain of salt here ) is no , not unless you run a custom rom or possible there is an xposed module or get an app that mimics that feature.

If you're rooted, you can install XPosed and use the App Settings module to keep MD at stock, while changing the rest of the UI.

Did you really manage to get ambient display? Would you mind listing some steps using that xposed module?
Thanks!

I just found the answer:
Just rename MotoDisplay_3.0.apk in /system/priv-app, restart and you're good to go (for example add .bak at the end).
By the way, the AD settings just returned to the Settings>Display after this.
Thanks to @dsnti

[Q] Wallpaper Issue!

Can anyone tell me how its possible to have a different wallpaper on your screen from your lock screen? I am by no means a newb and I can not figure out how to accomplish it without third party software and I find it amazing that in android 4.2 this isn't possible....

Not possible on Stock Android at this point. You would need a third party alternative.

Easy to do as long as your rooted, install xposed framework first and find gravity box apk, everything can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2421453
.After you install xposed framework reboot and install gravity box, make sure you enable the gravity box module through xposed framework and reboot again. Go to gravity box lock screen and you can change the picture for the lock screen with any you desire and again reboot

Xposed framework is a great little mod, basically you can mod any stock ROM, no need for a custom ROM anymore, you get have dual panel view and so much more even themes can be installed without a 3 rd party app or launcher

You may have some issues with xposed framework work correctly as your root method is not permanent, I would suggest do a soft reboot in between xposed framework and the modules as it seems after you do a full reboot, root is broken. It should work if jcase gets the bugs ironed out

Got the dev edition for vrzn, now what?

Thus far I have:
-Unlocked the bootloader, installed recovery, and Rooted (installed all my fav rooted apps)
-Installed Xposed for gravitybox
-Gotten tethering to work (what a pain that rooting doesnt just solve that problem)
-Deleted bloatware
Am I missing anything others are doing?

If I drop the stock OS can I still use moto connect? I also wasnt sure i wanted to drop moto's active display either. On my gnex I used aokp and would love to go back eventually.

agree....don't flash the ROM...the motorola one is very good. You should get rid of the annoying unlock message. What are your favorite rooted apps. I use titanium backup pro....but would appreciate pointers to other good apps.

Ive done all of that except the n5 phone hack. Not sure I am going to do that mod just yet. i guess ive done everything thus far for the most part. I was just checking to make sure i wasnt missing something big. I have noticed the voice 'ok google' thing doesnt really work too well.

of course u will lose some feature of stock rom
but modifying hardware is just possible with flashing another kernel

you could either replace the modified statusbar.xml with an original that you backed up or extracted from a factory image.
OR just flash the system.img from the factory image.

It's so basic every other ROM has it! I don't quite understand why the dev's decision to exclude it is because it takes up too much space. Is the Nexus 6P not one of the biggest phones out there? I'm sure the majority of ROM users adjust the dpi to allow for more space. And it's an option that can be enabled or disabled! The dev allows every other icon/text to be enabled/disabled, why not one more? The ROM is great overall though so it just sucks not having this haha.
Very cool!

Stock Android Notification Tray

Is there any way to get stock Android Notification Tray in our p8 lite....???
Hi bud if you wanna customize your layout and look I would suggest nova launcher you can have a app tray and set different gestures
Nova launcher is in google play
To change your default launcher got to settings-apps - advanced - default app settings
If you want more features from it root your phone follow the mega thread instructions for that
Hope this helps

Android N-ify only works on vanilla android or aosp roms etc. You need to flash aosp rom then install N-ify Xposed module.

I spoke with the developer. Huawei Atock Rom is heavily modified and thus N-ify is not supported ....

I think I'm gonna wait for cm 13. There is a thread (currently closed from mods) and I think that we might have something sooner or later. Furthermore why I should role back to Lollipop? If I could install Nougat at once ... I would, but N-ify is .... just a taste (that I want of course) and nothing more than visualization!
Isn't it possible by modding the SystemUI.apk a little bit..???

Ok. I have tested this app myself now. It seems to work but it doesn't modify actual notification menu. So I guess neither of us is wrong. It creates a new one and it doesn't work with notification button in navigation bar. On pressing it open original notification menu. By the way it's very buggy.

What "original one"? From the OP? If so, use that one.
They're all safe to use. You could decompile the APK and see for yourself.
