Is it possible to create a setup that will allow me to feed all my questions into Google search without touch? I want to imitate the new feature from the moto X phone where I can say a hotword at anytime and I will be able to search Google now. I.e: OK Google Now: "who founded Google?" To which it would feed that as a Google search command and return the result as i had normally used Google voice search
Watch this video and see how she searches with touching anything (this is what I'm trying to achieve):

Just be patience and wait a few weeks.
I´m sure some developers (and Google itself) will port this feature to the nexus 4
If they even Google make this feature for the Nexus devices, I prolly won't use it because it'll prolly eat too much battery. It has to be on all the time trying to listen to your voice. Plus if you don't use Google now search feature often this feature won't benefit you.

yes you can do it combining 2 apps , tasker and autovoice.
Hopefully the ROM is ported since the dual moto x is optimized significantly better than the wasteland software Google put in this thing. The optimization is so ridiculous that the dual krait outperforms the quad S600. Yes the moto x is faster cause the moto engineers don't just push device into the market free fall style. /morning rant

But you still need some kind of trigger.
The "magic" of the moto X is the "always on" microphone with a special DSP which is capable to do the voice recognition while consuming next to nothing of energy. While current phones would be forced to do this via general CPU and would kill a battery in a pinch.
Depending on the implementation this even could be a win for privacy, since the processing is taking place locally in the phone and not somewhere "in the cloud". I would be very uncomfortable with a phone which constantly listens to me and relays it to the el goog, microsoft, apple or somebody else.

Its an updated Google now...I received the update this morning then when you open up Google now there is a slide informing you to say OK Google now and some sample questions. Even before the update all you need to do is say Google and you can speak to it.

He didn't ask if it will consume more battery on a nexus4, the same as i didn't ask why the hell would anyone want to put his nexus4 in an "always listening" mode, he wanted to know if it was possible to implement
And you don't need a trigger with the combination i mentioned, voice commands work even with screen off.

And you're basing that performance from a crappy benchmark that couldn't even see the device had a dual core chip.
There is no magic sauce here. Faulty testing.

Seriously, if you are gonna whine in every thread because you are not happy with your phone, just sell it and get a different phone. The N4 is not for everyone and obviously you are one of those it is not for.

Hey guys
I saw that the new Moto X has an assist feature which automatically puts your phone into a drive mode when the phone senses you are driving.
The biggest feature I am interested in is the phone reading my text messages while I drive.
Can we port this to the nexus 4?

I would love this as well. I see over here they have the completed dump of the phone. They have been toying around with the APKs, but I am far from a dev. If we could get assist and the "Ok Google Now" feature that'd be swell. :cyclops:
:good:+1 Either or both of these would be awesome if they wouldn't be heavy on battery, etc.
Nah, it wouldn't be as good as on the Moto X because that has a separate processor core for language processing and for listening out for your voice. It will drain the battery, although I think with tasker it would be cool to set it up so that it only listens for your voice when its charging or at home KR something.

Just found a Moto-Assist-equivalent free app! It's called Agent https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tryagent
The Motorola launched new features for moto x, some of these features can be installed on a nexus 4 as the bike asistit ?
This feature of the Moto X is one I really want. Any chance we can get this working on on N4?

Given that the MotoX is stock Android with the exception of this feature, I might just get one. I have had the N4 since October (November?) when it first came out.....
Can some1 post it for Nexus 4 ?!
Motorola has made the app available for droids and moto x on Play store ::
See " Touchless Control " on play store ..
or here is the link ... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.audiomonitor
Can some1 port it for our lovely nexus 4 ?!?!
Yes please. That would be epic. The only thing I like about Moto X
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.RSen.OpenMic
This is probably the closest we have to Touchless Controls as of now.
As a proud Nexus 4 owner, running the Nexus 5's Google Experience Launcher, and unrooted, I can categorically declare that the Nexus 5's touchless control with the always on "ok google" hotword detection works flawlessly on the Nexus 4.
You need to make sure you have the GEL apk file installed, and the latest play store update of Google Search.
You need to make sure your voice search settings are set to US English (just like on the N5).
Admittedly, if you, like me, installed the packages from the N5 system dump, you would have found that the hotword worked, but the search would crash.
However that seems to be fixed and working perfectly in the latest Play Store Google Search update, which incorporates the GEL in its code.
So you just need those three requirements I've listed above, and the touchless control ought to work perfectly on the Nexus 4.
Well, it is on mine... I've just started using it today, and it has not crashed on me yet! Although, it remains to be seen what a drain on battery it may be...

I see, my bad, I've seen similar things posted about the N5 as well... People saying the N5's version of touchless control being hardware dependent, and not available on the N4.
Just got over excited about getting it to work on my N4, hah!

Some MotoX feature is still possible. If you used the latest AOKP nightly (for 4.3) they developed their own ActiveDisplay feature.
Since the G2 has a S800 processor, which includes an "always listening" feature, I was wondering if it would be possible to port Motorola's Touchless Control feature to the device.
Also since the X8 processor the Moto X has includes the "always listening" core from the S800 I thought perhaps it wouldn't be too hard to achieve this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.audiomonitor&hl=en
Attached is the apk of the feature and it can be installed on the G2 however it won't work.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated!
I would assume that this app could be at least linked in place of voice mate. While wet might not be able to wake her up with a phrase from sleep the results would be much better.

So pretty much replacing Voice Mate with Google Now?
Would that be easy to achieve?
Because I figured since the Moto X's X8 chip contain the S800's "always listening" core perhaps it would be possible to port it to the G2 and other S800 phones.
Here's instructions on porting moto active notifications with code I think. I'm not knowledgable in this area, but would be a GR8 addition to a G2 rom.... anyone wanna give it a shot?

Isn't active notifications different than the the voice controls?
But this would be a cool addition to the G2 if it's done well.
I wish this was possible.

looks like you'd need a custom kernel that activated active listening on the g2
I would definitely love to use it as well... Have you thought about starting a bounty thread for this one? I suppose a lot of ppl would like to donate it...
the hardware supports it.
it's just qualcomm don't share it with devs.
read it here
Motorola is offering the X at a stupid cheap price. I was wondering how the dev scene is for the phone? Is it fully unlocked including the kernel?
Its fully unlocked if you buy the Dev edition or T-Mobile unlocked edition, the latter lose its warranty when unlocking. As for the 'dev scene' you could find that out yourself, but there will be official CM for it.

Depends on which one your buying. Dev edition? Which carrier? Seems like most people (including myself) are just rooting and installing gravity box. The phone is so solid as is that I don't think most people feel the need to be flashaholics. Do yourself a huge favor and read up on all the development threads

I'm thinking about making the jump today as well. It's the Moto X with a wood back or the Nexus 5. Has anyone transitioned from a Nexus 4 to the Moto X?
Main thing I'm concerned with is the lack of dev's and ROM options in comparison to my Nexus.

Roms aren't in big demand here. Xposed and gravity box give all the same customizations. Plus cm based anything takes away the unique Moto x features.
If rom flashing is anyone's thing....I'd pass on the x.
Maybe when the x is done getting updates roms will start flowing....but don't see much happening before then.
