If anyone does not want the vibration to occur when opening the camera with the wrist twist method, I found that it can be turned off by using the Xposed mod: (you need root) install AppOpsXposed then going to App Ops in setting, go to device, and turn off vibration rights on the camera app. No more vibration! I was also looking for a way to turn off vibration when unlocking in active display (though the 4.4 update made it a lot less intense) but I haven't found a way without just turning all vibration off. I have a love hate thing with haptic feedback. Anyway, hope this helps someone.

You can probably do this without Xposed and just using App Ops (and/or App Ops X). I saw that camera had vibrate but didn't make the connection to the twist to launch gesture. I don't mind it because it tells me that it worked.

Annoyed by the haptic feedback?
Well, I guess that if you read this thread you are
I found an easy way to disable it, and I want to share it with the community.
Download lbe latest version from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422479
After it got downloaded turn of wi-fi and data usage (I will explain why later). Install it, open it.
In the notification panel you will see the lbe icon, click on it. A control panel window will pop up and you will see that amongst other toggles there's a "haptic" icon. Disable it, reboot, done!
Then if it worked you can choose to use lbe, or to uninstall it.
As for me I uninstalled it because first it uses a lot of battery juice, and then the fact that it's a chinese closed source app, and that it connects to some web sites to do who knows what, disturbed me (that's why I told you to disable wi-fi and data before to install it). Plus some people complained that it messed their phone, so use at your own risks if you decide to keep it.
Enjoy your grand without haptic feedback, such a relief!
This is the battery saving application I'm using. Already included haptic feedback.. One doubt y to disable haptic disable.. It automatically disable haptic feedback when u enabled power saving mode. If u disable power saving mode. Haptic feedback automatically turns on..

I've made some progress debloating and customizing, but there are some more things I'd like to do:
1. Remove Quick Settings from notification panel - In landscape view, there is simply not enough screen real estate for the actual notifications because the Quick Settings (and 'clear notifications' row) take up half the screen. I would like to remove them or have them scroll up and off screen when scrolling through notifications. Can this even be done with a custom ROM?
2. Tether without pin lock screen. [updated] FoxFi worked fine for me unrooted, except that I had to use the PIN lockscreen. The instruction on PdaNet's site (change certificate to Wi-fi, etc.) did not work. I eventually found X Tether. Once installed, it shows up as Moto Tether. It seems to allow the native WiFi hotspot to work on its own, but I haven't used it much yet. The easiest way I have found to turn it on/off, is using a widget. I haven't been able to put the widget in an app folder, which I would prefer.
3. Minimal notification panel - figured this one out.
4. Bypass Samsung lockscreen before DynamicNotifications - Not sure if this is possible. Sometime, when I turn the phone on, it goes to the stock lock screen before switching to DynamicNotifications. I saw that DynamicNotifications shows up as a module in Xposed, but it just said something about disabling a message that I don't recall getting.
5. A better dialer and contacts - any recommendations on getting solid, vanilla-like Dialer and Contacts? I tried a couple apps from the Play Store, but they were kind of sloppy in one way or another.
6. No auto play music when turning on radio in car - When I turn on my bluetooth receiver in the car, the last track always starts playing - even if I paused it before I turned off the car last. I kind of wish it would only continue playing if it was playing when the receiver was disconnected. Not a big deal, but thought I'd ask.
7. Update phone when checking exchange emails on computer - When I read, archive, delete, etc. emails in Outlook, they continue to pile up in Email app until I open the email app. Seems like my Galaxy Nexus didn't do that.
8. Remove TouchWiz blue from everything - all the menus and apps still have that Samsung blue theme. I'm not sure how to remove that.
9. Reduce icons on notification bar - I would like to remove the Bluetooth icon. There is a blank icon when I use Rotation Locker in the background to keep everything landscape while I'm in the car. It looks bad having the space between icons and I'd like to get rid of it. There is a battery icon that appears when the battery is charged. I'd like to remove that as well.
10. Make folders only one icon on display - figured this one out.
11. Remove battery icon that appears when S5 is fully charged - There is a white battery with "100" on it that appears when the battery is charged. That makes 3 battery icons total when it's charged. Ridiculous!
12. Disable camera shutter sound and boot sound - Wanam has a setting for this. I have it checked, but the camera and boot still make their sounds.
Edit: added another.
Edit2: and another

Do you really think what I am asking is too unreasonable?
Is this the best thread for these questions? I figured at least a few would have gotten answers.
Not sure about the boot sound but I use Automateit to silence the shutter sound. I have it set to silence the phone when opening the camera and then it returns the phone to full volume when I close it. If the phone is on silent it doesn't make the shutter sound.

Yeah, I guess I'll just use Tasker to do that. Would be nice if the Wanam option worked though.
Also you can turn off the percentage in settings-battery. It's near the top

I guess I don't see XDA as a place to come and post a wish list of features I would like to have. I approach it as a place where devs share their work. I limit my questions to things like 'does anyone know if their is a ROM that does xy or z'
Since I'm an end-user by which I mean I don't code, I stay super respectful of those who do and live by the motto 'read more and post less'. While I think it has grown from its roots, it is first and foremost a forum for devs and technically knowledgeable people, and/or people with a genuine desire to become that. I'm just a guest. I'd never go to someone's party with a list of the foods I want prepared.
Anyway that's how I see it, and how I approach the site.
Though I do see now that apparently you are working on doing some themeing so take the above for whatever it is worth.

That's essentially what I did. I spent time searching, reading, and learning as far as I could without help. I was able to accomplish some on my own, but I ended up with a list of things I still wanted to do. So, I put them all in one post.
If you wouldn't use the "Q&A/Help" section to post questions like I do, that's fine. I have used many forums for many years, and I know that different people use them for a variety of reasons. I'm not going to spend any more time justifying my post. I hope that you can find a better use of your time beyond complaining about other people's posts.
Dude you asked if you you had asked for too much. I replied about how 'I' view being on XDA. No on asked you to justify anything. But consider it dropped.

I eventually found X Tether. Once installed, it shows up as Moto Tether. It seems to allow the native WiFi hotspot to work on its own, but I haven't used it much yet.

I was able to change the lock screen options back to all being available for selection with FoxFi in use by doing the Lock the phone from Device Manager on Google. As soon as I did the remote lock, all of my lock screen options returned even with FoxFi installed and operational. I read about doing this on another post here somewhere...
Hi,
Is there a way to make watch's vibrations on notification stronger or longer, except installing custom ROM? It can be mod, or something that i need to root my watch or unlock it's bootloader to use, but i just want to stay stock. I have used custom ROM on my lg g watch but it had lately a lot of dangerous crashes and at the end I realised that except better vibrations it doesnt have anything "new" so i guess i dont need it that much. I will appreciate every answer
If you are willing to root your phone and run Xposed, then yes you can.
The vibrations on the watch are set by the vibration attached to the actual notification on the phone. You can test this out if you like, using the trial version of Tasker (if you don't already have it). Just make a notification that has a custom vibration pattern. The watch will vibrate accordingly.
To modify other apps notifications, I use the paid version of GravityBox Xposed module. I can set the vibration pattern for each individual app. My texts do something akin to an SOS, and my emails go short - long - short. You can't increase the intensity of the vibration this way, but longer vibrations and patterns are far more notifiable for me.
Edit: I forgot to mention, Xposed does not yet support 5.0 Roms.

But can i do it with tasker only then? I tried vibration pattern but im not sure what i have to write there... (empty line just comes up and i have to write something - i guess length of vibrations, so i tried "200,200,200,200,200" and it didnt work)
You could definitely make supplementary notifications with Tasker, but I don't think it can modify existing ones. I would basically have it monitor for any notification you are interested in, then post a second notification with your custom pattern. Then use a wait for as long as the vibration needs and cancel the second notification. You'll get the original with its short pulse, then your own longer one. The Tasker notification will show up briefly on the watch, but will go away once canceled.
To get Tasker to vibrate the watch, you need the Notify Vibrate command. The vibrate pattern is a series of pause and vibrate times. So 500,500,500,500 is wait a half second, vibrate a half second, wait a half, vibrate a half.
With last update Light Flow added support for vibrations in wear device, easy to configure and you can set different vibration paths without double notifications other apps I tried give. Highly recommended!

Hi guys, I thought this would help you, so I wrote a (I hope) noob-friendly guide.
Basically, this fixes the screen turning on in your pocket and detecting random touches. It keeps on happening to me, I end up randomly calling people/emailing the president and it's really annoying when it happens.
This does NOT fix the flashlight turning on due to detecting a 'V' gesture (for that you gotta disable the gesture itself, sorry, can't prevent that happening).
So basically you gotta install this app (Glimpse Notifications) (Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with this dude, just sharing for fun) and do the initial setup. Then, in the app itself, go into the Extras menu and enable Lockscreen menu and enable 'Lock when covered' and the next two options you can set as per your preference (I use 'only in Lockscreen' and '600ms'. You can also enable a double tap to lock on the lockscreen if you're using the Beta version (available in the Extras menu).
Oh, and to prevent it from closing in the background, enable the Persistant Notification in Extras and go to your notification bar, long press on the notification and tap the crossed bell (assuming you're running Cyanogen OS/CyanogenMod/a ROM based on it) to hide it.
That's pretty much it, you're set!
P.S. I know you can get similar functionality using Gravity Screen etc. but this is free, and it's only polling your sensor when the screen is on and you're in your lockscreen, so it should barely use any battery (and uses only around 8mb RAM).
P.S.S. It's my first thread on XDA, any feedback would be appreciated
Good job!
My friend had a similar problem, this seemed to work for him, thanks!
Anytime!

Christ almighty... a fix for this issue. I've actually had this happen all the time with disastrous battery drain as a result :/
I have disabled as many vibration settings as I can but there is one in particular I cannot find the setting to disable. There is a very, very short vibration when pressing the fingerprint sensor to go back to the home screen. I didn't notice it until I installed Nova Launcher. Nova Launcher didn't have any setting to disable it so I uninstalled Nova Launcher but the vibration is still there.
Is this a configurable setting?
I just got the phone so doing a factory reset is still an open option at this point.
You can disable all vibration with the extended stock kernel on here. I believe that's the only way

This vibration is really annoying..and it also drains battery.. you get an option in gravity box , xposed module to disable this vibration..but you have to root your phone.

Better you dnt go for installing the xposed framework..although it disables the fingerprint unlock vibration..you might sometime face other problems in your phone after rooting your phone...lot of people have been complaining about this annoying vibration..hope moto would fix this issue in future updates...wait for it..that's better i think.

Rooting it's self wasn't too bad and I haven't had any problems. I enjoyed the aosp rom I was using but went back to stock for the better camera. Speaking of that rom, Fingerprint gestures work without the vibration on that rom so maybe it's just some line in build prop?

This is an option that you get after installing garvitybox in xposed modules..gravitybox have support till marshmallow and iam not sure whether it works with nougat..if you have rooted ur phone..just try this..and also try the vibrafix app in playstore..some people have been telling that this app has fixed this issue of vibration in their one plus3
You can flash custom kernel like ElementalX and disable vibration.
