Hey Nexus 5 owners,
Just saw this break my news feed:
https://plus.google.com/106978520009932034644/posts/H4CiUhBRghi
Proof that we can have Always Listening on the nexus 5. Hopefully this gets some big attention because it's one of the most wanted Moto X features available!
Sorry if this is a double post, but I don't think so considering it's 6 hours old.
Incredible! This deserves to be posted in general!

Rated newsworthy. Hopefully this gets featured on the portal and gets the attention it deserves. Can't wait to see what comes of this! Thanks for the post.
That would be so awesome if they could port that; it's the feature I miss from my Moto X the most (besides Active Display)
This is amazing because they can use that hack to use the low powered core for other features like tap on and music playing.

would be awesome making it usable for every N5 owner! Looking forward to it!
I'm surprised that this has not caused the Nexus 5 forum to XpLoDWilD. Guillaume does some excellent work.
I to think this a big seller for X. I am anxious to see what the X2 is like. But also really love me N5.
I read somewhere that we can't have always listening because it needs trademark from nuance, both moto x and note 3 have it but nexus 5 doesn't.

The main reason we don't have an always listening feature is because of the complications and licensing at the hardware level. Google chose to use the low-core processor for a step counter, which I think is a lot less useful thank touchless control. Hopefully Guillame can prepare a version free of copyright infringement or trademarks/licensing and allow us N5 users to make full use of our S800!

Sorry for the slow reply! I was debating between general and apps but ultimately chose this section because I thought it was more related to an app, but I still hope everyone sees it It's proof that our S800 chip is capable of more than just a pedometer.
You can message a mod and ask them to move it for you. It would definitely get more attention there.
I agree. I would much rather have the always listening feature instead of a pedometer. I still have my Virgin Mobile step counter/pedometer from my old job. I can't login to the site anymore or anything, but it still works fine if I want to keep track of my steps.

Funny that this is a built in feature of the snapdragon 800 CPU.
Wonder why it hasn't been used on any phone yet....

The question is did Google keep that patent or hand it down to lenovo
As the deal was they sell moto to lenovo for stock and cash and keep a handful of patents but the rest goes to lenovo question is did they keep that active listening patent

I hope google kept that feature since that was the most talked about feature of the Moto X. Maybe the next Nexus will have that feature.

I'd like to have this on my Sony Xperia Z Ultra
This would be amazing to have on the Nexus.
This would be fantastic if we see it on the N5.
Y'all think they'll be available, seeing as how this seems to be based on the droid turbo with most of the same hardware?
I had a moto x (2013) and loved those features, just wasn't crazy about the battery life.
A nexus 6 with working active display/moto voice would be amazing.
It looks like Google has incorporated similar features into Android itself.
There's something new called Ambient Display, which is similar to Moto Display.
You can say "OK Google" with the screen off, which is functionally similar to Moto Voice — albeit without the custom launch phrases.
Moto Voice records your voice and then pipes that recording into Google Now. Since this new feature launches Google Now directly, it's probably a lot faster than Moto Voice.
Is there anything setting need to do before OK Google works with screen off?

To be honest I rather have Moto Display than Ambient Display, Google's version just has soo many flaws, and sometimes its not consistent and not only that, theres not much features
If porting the Moto Display and other goodies from the X will be possible I'll be keeping a close eye out
I exported most of the files required for it, but am stuck at the Motorola-specific signature process... And life is getting in the way as well.
Anyone see that China is getting the moto x pro? It's basically the nexus 6 without the nexus branding. Any bets on whether it'll come with the moto tweaks and that a ROM can be made for the nexus 6?
Does anyone know if the moto voice has been ported for the Nexus 6? I like that the moto voice will read your messages to you.

Not yet. I think the best bet would be perhaps getting a dump from the Moto X Pro, which is the Chinese variation of the Nexus 6. China doesn't have Google services, so the Nexus branding has been dropped and all Google apps, but Moto looks to have added their apps to it. Some pics here, which you can see some of the icons on the home screen (unsure if it will have all of the Moto apps though).

Theres a Moto X Pro system dump in this thread.
The Moto X Pro bootanimation.zip uses video files and videodesc.txt instead of .png images and desc.txt like Nexus 6, but it works by just copying /system/bin/bootanimation file from Moto X Pro to Nexus 6, changing permissions and rebooting. Can the same be said for the Moto Apps? Just copy all the apks from /system/priv-app on Moto X Pro to same place on Nexus 6, as well as the /system/lib and /system/bin files?
If anyone knows how to do this it would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime I'll be searching for threads that point me in the right direction and trying the method I mentioned to see what happens.

Agreed. I see what you did there.
If it turns out to be true and even if they they just push it to those who oped in for soak test and whatnot and not a full out release in the next few weeks i am happy with Lenovo and this phone. I love what Lenovo did with the phone. I said updates will make or break it and i was scared about that when they said they could not commit to the security patches. But were getting those patches and have a word on the update so far so good. Hope they keep it up. This is the best phone out all around.
I'll still believe it when I see it. Moto has really been sucking badly on updates the last few years.

I agree 100% the funny part is I decided I needed a non samsung device as soon as I saw that lil wayne commercial that had him dumping champagne on the phone. I told coworkers that wanted the Note 7 prior to the release to get this phone instead because Samsung spent far too much for lil wayne for proper research and development, they all made fun of me...until the note started exploding.

Off topic but the issue is simple with the Note 7. I checked this my self. But its not cheap for them and the "Fixed" ones were not fixed and there was no way for them to fix it.
Simple version. The IC samsung chosen to handle the monitoring of the voltage for the battery was the cheapest they could find. That being said they can be way off in terms of calibration. The note 7 i had charged my battery to 4.9v. Phone would read 4.405v but a fluke on the batt reads 4.921v. And that is dangerous. So for all i know they could be charging to 5+ volts and no wounder they are bursting into flames. Issue has nothing to do with the battery and changing it wont do a thing. Its an issue with the ic on the board. And the IC has been used in other things that handle li-ion and li-po related charging and also caused problems on them.
Back on topic.
So we get 7.0 before the end of the year. Im guessing November. So far so good on the updates. But im wondering if they are going 7.0 or just going to jump to 7.1. Chances are no 7.1 that fast but so far the updates have been good. And the moto mod updates have been amazing. I would like to see 7.0 by Nov. 17th. But we prob wont see the roll out start until the end of Nov.
Does anyone know if Nougat will return the ability to save to SD or move apps to external sd?

Not that I'm aware of. I've done plenty of soak tests for previous Moto devices and I got invites for soak tests for the camera and projector (which I don't have either), but I never got one for the phone. The update just popped up for me last night.
So far the only Nougat issues I'm having is the fact that my Ambient Moto Display no longer works. Slightly annoying, but it could be worse.

Great that means it's a general release!
Do a hard reset, it's always recommended to do a hard reset after a major update for optimal performance and user experience.
Strike my last statement. I just got it working. I need up just clearing the data for the Moto app and set it up again. Moto Display seems to work perfectly fine now.

Any info about 64bit/32bit?
moto g5s plus
This device will be upgraded to the Android 8 (Oreo) release of Android, pending partner support.
Do you have the latest Motorola software
I bought mine at Best Buy
Will almost certainly be 32Bit.
And we will still be waiting a while because the notes say that we get security up thru June 1st which hasn't happened yet. So implementing that will take probably a week at least. Soak testing will take probably 2 weeks, so we will probably see it late June/early July.
It sucks that they aren't doing anything about our awful camera(s).
Android OEMs get the contents of the security updates weeks in advance, so it's understandable that they'd release the June security update a few days early. It happens all the time with manufacturers that actually release updates often.

The camera on the G5+ was better than the dual setup on the G5s+ that's what I think the guy above is referring to.

It's been coming since it was announced a year ago "from this fall". It'll be coming in a few months. Nothing to see here - literally.

I would be very surprised if they did. To be honest though, why would you even want to continue? Lineage will likely have Q for it in a year, but the build quality just isn't that same anymore. They still haven't resolved a problem where Android Auto doesn't work for their builds on an X4. I gave up and ordered the Pixel 3a. I would encourage others to do the same.
Nevermind Q, I'm still waiting for P.
We need to wait up to July or August to know about Motorola device list. I am excited about one plus 3t, they started from marshmallow and now gets pie update too, that means 4 android versions even if the device isn't android one. We can hope for good things to come true.

Not likely on Google's side, because the Android Auto app works fine on LOS 15.1 for many phones as well as for the X4 when on stock. Only on LOS 16 there is AFAIK no device where Android Auto works with the car unit.
Wait wait wait.... https://www.androidcentral.com/here-are-phones-we-know-will-get-android-q

TBH, now that I have the Moto X4 and seen Android Pie in action, I don't think an SD Card slot matters as much anymore. With Google Photos backing up everything (in a lower resolution) and backing up full quality photos to a PC, the need is much less. I only have it to download videos offline so that I can watch when there is no internet connection. Even then I have abundant storage space so I think it is overkill.
