Hello!
A friend of mine, and i, each have a 16GB WiFi Nexus 7 2013.
While the screen is OFF (Nexus sleeping), my friend's nexus can be woken up by saying "Ok Google".
Mine ONLY works if my nexus has the screen on already (I dont have lock screen enabled).
His is completely bone stock and recently updated OTA with Kit Kat 4.4 KRT16S already.
I have TWRP recovery, and had 4.3 Stock Root.
NOW, i kept the custom recovery, but i flashed Stock Kit Kat 4.4 KRT16S NO ROOT.
and jealous (and lazy).. and i want my nexus to operate just like my friends... so either somethings wrong or maybe lemme know what i gotta flash. Thank you for your time.
Weird that your friends can wake even when the screen is not on... Never heard of that ( unless you have another app.)
What's launcher does your friend have installed? And make sure he does not have any other apps that enable him to do this. Check out "open mic+"

He is using the stock launcher that came with Kit Kat.
I couldn't even get it to work on the stock launcher, so i decided to look for and install the Google Launcher. I even tried reinstalling Google Now. I have looked at Open Mic+ in the past when i had a custom ROM, but i rather have the real thing from Google.

Well the real thing from the moto x (always listening) would require source code to be merged to work.

Your friend isn't running stock. Stop making up stories.

If he is using the stock launcher that came with the nexus 7 and 4.4, he should not even be able to wake the device from thee home screen, much less a locked device... Only from Google now.
Only the moto x (and other Motorola phones with the special chip) should be able to wake from locked device. Not even nexus 5 can do that... Don't know what's up with your friends tablet

He's not asking about battery life. He wants MotoX-like voice commands while it's asleep.

Or you can use Nexus 7 toolkit to download and flash back to stock with one step
tbh, grab WUG's nexus toolkit.
click the great "revert to stock" button
select stock nakasi 4.1.2
blah blah blah
once back and running, relock bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
back running stock 4.1.2

I'm curious if you are stock and didn't lose tablet mode or anything like that what you find so horrible about about 4.2?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I have to agree this update should not have been released, I'm stock on the nexus 7 and its so buggy! It keeps stuttering, taken ages to load webpages , all that project butter has gone, not happy, funny enough it's perfect on my galaxy nexus which is running 4.2 stock rooted, BTW I got the update ota
---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------
To add to this, I've just tried to set up a second user and the setup crashed once , gave me a blank screen for 10 seconds every time I pressed next, then the launcher crashed twice , gave me a blank screen for over a minute, stuttering when swiping side to side, even now as I type this its not registering a click then I click again and I get two letters ..... And pinch zoom is jerky! Wtf happened?!?! Hope there's a fix on the way, this is the one device I'm reluctant to root and install custom ROM simply because 4.1 was perfect
Guys just download nexus 7 toolkit and flash 4.1 image... Sorry, but even me (girl) was able to do this succesfully.
Lmfao ok ok you guys win haha but i am stock and it was official update. Im good on pcs but this is my first tablet, android is new to me anyway im on pain pills for broken leg from a motorcycle accident so my head is definitely not all there lately but ya lets hear the jokes about that now. And no that pervert in my pic is not me, although it fits my brain power lately lol

Thanks for your reasoned response. I'm sure people will try to help you if you keep the tone more conciliatory. Could you be more specific about what has ruined your experience with the update? I honestly don't see that much different, other than having to wait a few days for devs to update borked apps. Stickmount is my biggest concern, and some of the video players. They'll get updated though. Hang in there and if you decide to go back, the Nexus Root Kit threads and WUGS toolkit thread at Android Forums can get you there if you carefully read the detailed instructions.

The dev for stickymount says it may not be solvable, Multi-user by default is a nightmare.
I will learn from this not to jump the gun, but mostly I read that the update was good. Youtube app crashes within a min, firefox, boat browser crash, amazon app store wont save my login now, there's more but cant think of at the moment. Oh Gmail app crashes, Google currents crashes and I haven't tried half of my other apps yet but I've seen enough to know this is complete crap. Im just mad that i have to illegally root and use someone's homemade software to restore my tablet, not sure it is illegal to root, nor would I care but it's the point.

Yeah i noticed after updating that some of my apps that reinstalled after the update would crash when i tried opening them for the 1st time. i unistalled then reinstalled them and they worked fine after that. i too am not really liking the update hopefully i can find a way to revert back to 4.1.2 easily or theres some work arounds (especially for stick mount as mentioned earlier)
All this talk about apps not working is not on the new OS....well it kinda is but not really.
android releases the OS and DEVS have to update their apps to work with the new OS. they do this with the android SDK (i think) IMO, google SHOULD release the SDK for the new OS about a month out. giving Devs the option to update their apps before the OS hits getting rid of all "these" types of posts.
also, FWIW, i did a clean install of 4.2 and i haven't had a singe app crash on me except MX player (which was updated yesterday for 4.2) other than that, everything is smooth, fast, working wonderfully. i know its not what you want to hear, but maybe a clean wipe of the device would be best. Google wont put out a crappy update....but sometimes, for some reasons unknown, it doesn't take well to and update with all the user apps and their data. at the very lease, clear cache and see how it works.

Completely agree. They new update 4.2 corrected a lot of bugs. The power management is a lot better and the memory management too. Ive run some test and saw that the system load is quite inferior to what it was before due to a more clean management process

Look how easy this was when a decent person helps, thanks for the help! All rooted and flashed back! Thanks to all who actually helped!
First I wanna ask anyone who says the 4.2 update is terrible if they even tried a full data wipe/factory reset? If not, try that before accusing Google of releasing buggy firmware. It could be your stinkin data/apps fault

Most to all the people were decent. Plenty of people pointed you in the right direction, or linked to a guide. You gotta do a little researching and educate yourself a little so you understand the whole process.

Nope, it's not illegal to root.. it will supposedly be illegal to unlock a phone (for another network) without the network's consent though.
Just think..there's no reason at all running custom firmware/roms/rooting can be illegal on a nexus device, why do you think the bootloader is effortlessly unlockable?
And if you think about it, no, it's not really crazy that is a "hassle" to revert to old firmware, because
A) most devices (Apple comes to mind) you can't do this, unless certain conditions apply (if you backed up SHSH blobs, etc etc)
B) if you understood the process of flashing the stock rom, and if you had ADB/fastboot setup correctly, it's simple as pie to flash the old firmware. And the "homemade software" is just an interface for n00bs (like yourself) and would not exist if it didn't use adb and fastboot behind the hood. And if you think it was hard to do what you did, you should try to do it on a device with a locked bootloader: (droid x2 comes to mind) it's a nightmare
So basically, Google has this wonderful OS and provides devs and users alike these wonderful tools (and Nexus hardware to match) at our disposable.
Idk about you, but I say kudos Google!

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...

Some MotoX feature is still possible. If you used the latest AOKP nightly (for 4.3) they developed their own ActiveDisplay feature.
I thought that with KitKat, you'll be able to say "Hey Google!" to activate the voice search. I can't seem to find a setting to enable it. Is this a Nexus 5 only feature?

Have you ever looked at an Android blog? If you pick one, any one of them, you can pretty easily see where the "OK Google" comes from and how to get it running on your phone. Its the Google Experience Launcher, not Android 4.4.

I would say if you want a really stable ROM, go with Alliance Build 2 which is NE9. It is stable and still offers a ton of custom options. I get great battery life with it as well. If you want to be completely up to date, I've used OptimalROM which is NI2. It seemed pretty stable. I haven't tried ACHERON ROM yet but it looks very good as well. I've said in many other threads that I see no advantage of NI2 over NE9 at the moment. It's really up to you in the end though.
Does KitKat really have better battery life as it's advertised? I just got a replacement gs5 today through squaretrade insurance and I'm shocked its still on stock NCG!

The best and easiest way I know of to get rid of it is to use Xposed and gravity box. It will let you disable specific notifications that you do not want. There isn't a built in function to disable the notification.

guess it isnt as big of a deal, usually sprint rolls these out over time so people who dont have it can sideload, but it seems like they pushed it 100% now. i flashed stock and immediately started to update
Maybe not, i couldn't get a link.
Total file size is 1016.85MB. Downloading it now on my Note 4 as I type this.
I'm so excited! Can't wait to update after work!
Boner...
Just updated. here are some observations that I've made based on the app's that I use on a day to day basis / general observations that I noticed. Smoother. Sweet 5.0 transitions. Contextual colors for the notification bar. Smart Lock (via Moto 360). New keyboard. New calendar: simply more lollipop-esque. It's awesome. Finger print scanner seems to have improved (which I guess I wouldn't be using as much because of smart lock). I usually use Hangouts bc the stock Messaging app was 1)too laggy 2)couldnt read multiple texts on Moto 360. With new update, i tried out the new messaging app. Lollipoped, AS smooth and fast as the the new Messenger app by Google and it allows me to read threads on my Moto 360. I'm sold. Camera app has been slightly tweaked. In Modes we now see fast and slow mo as options as opposed to going deeper into the settings to change it..And best of all: multi tasking capacitive button is finally faster. I never used it bc it was so slow to respond.
Im on rooted with stock recovery ...do I need to unroot to take the ota? Thanks
