I wouldnt say its useless but yea, it will kill your battery, why would anyone want it? pressing power button to turn on display, see what notification you have and then turn it off is that much more time consuming? at least for me personal, its not a good trade-off

Don't think it'll do wonders on a LCD display, OLED sure, but on LCD it's going to drain the battery much faster. I've purchased DynamicNotification premium features it does most of the things that Motorola's official app can.

Apk doesn't seem to work . shows up in settings but nothing beyond that

According to that link, the Moto X has it because it has AMOLED screen. Where did you see the Moto G will get Active-display features?

Hey all,
My apologies but I can't find the post anymore (think Punit Soni might have put it up on Google Plus? Or Mark Rose? Don't know).
They will import some but not all active display features to the Moto G. With regards to mohan.n - I thought so too, but apparently they figured out a way!
I don't have the time anymore to check for this post but if someone here has the time please do go ahead and post!
Cheers,

Only some features will be ported, not all! And you need to wait a new compatible aon version on play

Actually, it looks more like a stub app they plan on updating through the app store at a later date.

I can confirm that Moto e came with the 'placeholder' acdisplay app out of the box

We probably need an update to the app, the current version shows up in settings, but if changed they switch back, and it doesn't work anyways.

For me Dashclock with DashNotifier (or Apex Notifier or Nova TeslaUnread with those Pro version launchers in my case) is more than enough. Hardly if any resources hogging. Click on message, email, etc. and you'll go straight to them if new messages, etc. when unlocking lockscreen. I never have to use power button because my case has sleep wake function ( Orzly Multi Functional Wallet Case voor Moto G - Carbon).

[req] moto x lock screen?

I'm not sure if this is where I would post this. But does anyone know if it would be possible to port the moto x lock screen to the n4? I just really like the idea of being able to see a preview of your text message without unlocking your phone. Thank you. And sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

i myself just got the Nexus and was asking same question.
Found very nice solution - NiLS Notifications Lock Screen in Google Play.
try it out, worked well for me:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget&hl=en
The only downside of using such application that I found is that it eats up more battery...and there's no way to fix that because nexus 4 doesn't have an amoled screen thus your whole screen lights up rather than just a portion of the screen where the icon is...so you might wanna take that in consideration...but its the closest thing to moto x loxkscreen

Actually, what he said was "My Moto X fly's on ART" which I can only take to mean he has a fly on his Moto X, which either is "on ART" or possesses "on ART."
Myself, Being that I am ART, can confirm that I am not a fly, but am on a Moto X

BTW ART includes a dalvik compatibility feature, or so I presume. As mine always boots with, a persistent, "android is upgrading" for a few apps. The count goes down as I uninstall some apps.

Just saw this posted a few minutes ago at Modaco (meaning I just happened upon it, not that it's only minutes old) and thought "Now this is a damned cool development for the Moto G..." and it is.
Glad to see something going on with it, and I'm still considering the upgraded one with the proper microSD slot next month as well - LTE means nothing much to me since with T-Mobile HSPA+ I get damned fast speed as it is.
But an interesting turn of events to the Moto G community, definitely.
i know this is not the right thread... but anyone working on Firefox os 2.0? tons of features are being added there (and bugs)

OK google functionality is disabled for the moto x. I installed it earlier and it is disabled.
You can activate it in the parameters.
I switch to this launcher too but with Google Now disabled. So, its nearly the same than the stock.

Had it on for a day, hasn't affected my battery life largely, I haven't noticed a sudden drop in battery because of it. Like is said above the 'OK google' hotword is disabled, so basically same battery life as stock launcher. I like it

Its already part if touchless control it would be redundant to also have it in search.

You have a Moto X. Lol no need for that. ?
The OK GOOGLE NOW function for Moto x is under touch less control.. Don't think it matters what launcher you are using but I might be wrong...I have never used the google now launcher
I'm just curios. Besides the fact that Google Now is somehow disabled (I turned off because it was draining my battery when enabled). is the Google Launcher better than the stock one?
Better in what? It's just different...
In customization for example. Moto X's stock launcher does not enable to add or remove desktops.
In performance, stock is ok but is this faster and/or more responsive?
Things like that.

You can't add and remove desktops but you can add/remove widgets on both launchers.
They're both almost the same but the Google Launcher has nicer looking flat icons reminiscent of iOS 7.
Performance wise, I've not noticed any difference at all.
In regards to battery life, I'm still testing it out but seems similar to the Motorola launcher so far.
You CAN add delete homescreens on Google Now Launcher... Merely remove everything on what homescreen you are trying to get rid of, and it goes away. To add a homescreen make a widget or drag an icon from the drawer and drag it to the far right. Icons are NOT different. They are the same as before... Battery life and performance are the same as far as I can tell. Not really any other customizing, unless you are rooted and have xposed with the GEL module.

I know i have touchless control to do that. But it wouls have been better to have both, right? Touchless control is slower than the default okay google keyword functionality of the google search app. So by having both of them would have been better. So we could have used touchless control only when screen is off. I had the ok google keyword before the google search update and i used to keep both of them on. So whenever i said okay google while in the google search app it used to trigger the google voice recognition and while playing games or any apps it used to trigger the touchless control.

Unlike touchless control tho.... Google search will take a bigger toll on battery... And it won't work of your screen is off.
If it's better or not.... I couldn't say.
Don't use Google search on my N5...not the any screen detection anyway... Cause it does hurt battery life.

[APP] Prism Assistant

Over the time of using HTC devices. I came to realize I used Blinkfeed for more of a news app than a Homescreen. Needless to say, finding ways of launching Blinkfeed along side another launcher can be tedious or "Rooty" routes. I found several different ways of launching or creating a shortcut for Blinkfeed in many different fassions. From using Nova launcher gesture actions to exposed module SenseToolbox. Im not a fan of rooting my new high class smartphone so i developed an easier method. This application was first designed for the HTCM7, than updated for the M8 and now revamped for the HTC10.
Prism Assistant is an intelligent shortcut to Blinkfeed or Sense Home. It has a combination of shortcuts allowed to the user for whatever they find easier to view their Blinkfeed to their advantage. Now, Sense Home needs to be installed on your device first for this application to work correctly. If your using a aosp or Cyanogenmod based custom rom, the unofficial port of Blinkfeed will work just as good. Prism Assistant will detect if Sense Home is or not installed and take action to help you.
PA allows the following for HTC10 devices
-Blinkfeed launcher shortcut
-Notification Listener shortcut
-Replace Google On Tap with Blinkfeed
You can grab Prism Assistant on Google Play here for a small fee https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.NxIndustries.Flip
Or
Free load and grab the apk here and wanna give it a test run first https://www.dropbox.com/s/u4qp6d746i9efii/PA-20.0-release.apk?dl=0
^i will update the dropbox version soon for anyone who doesn't have Google play or XDA Labs
Any comments, suggestions, and feedback welcomed.
Custom rom developers are welcomed to PM me for instructions of how to add Home Assist action provider shortcut to Sense Home if they would like the tweak baked in. Giving credit is the only requirement.
Reserved
One more screenshot...
Bump.
I will be looking into making Prism Assistant a more diverse app soon by giving users a choice to choose what application to set the Home Assistant activity to so its useful to users who also use Blinkfeed.

Prism Assistant has recieved one of its final end of life updates this weekend also making the app free to all and ads will appear in the toolbar (very easy to evade) and a minimal material design. Links have been updated and some quirks patched.
Another update will be pushed soon for final patches.
