My Moto X fly's on ART

Is it just me or does this phone fly on ART. My nexus 5 didn't seem so big of a difference. Its like night and day on my phone. Of course it took up 700mb of storage but I'm loving it!

It is great in the beginning but it starts lagging after two to three days of usage

I think you did talk about Running ART in your moto x so far. But i want to know it how it's possible to fly ART on my Moto X..?

I think he means the phone will take flight when art enabled.

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

My name is art and I like to fly.

Lol!
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.

So that . It's make "fly's on ART" :fingers-crossed:

Buuuuut....no xposed. The Moto x on stock and xposed go together like peanut butter and jam.

OMG this thread is cracking me up!! I'm tempted to make my moto x even faster but I have to agree that I cant give up Xposed!

ART>Xposed. JMHO

^ let me hit whatever your smoking! ;P

Moto X Camera Quality Improved!!! No Root Needed

I installed the Slimbean 4.3 Camera apk from another device and the camera quality has improved significantly!!! The only bugs are that panorama and video recording do not work..

I have the Google Camera 2.3.017.apk installed on my X and everything works splendid. I actually prefer it to the (confusing) stock camera app.

might want to change your title of the post to include the word camera.

I'm curious. How is the stock camera confusing? I found it to be one of the simplest interfaces ever.

There's no difference in picture quality either!

I agree the moto x camera app is the best interface I've used. Google camera is too hard to switch modes and has needless letterboxing.

Guess i should have been specific. It's the "carousel" settings thing i just find off-putting, that's all. I just prefer the Google camera version.

Very good idea....it really should say "CAMERA quality improved". Simply edit your first post, and click "GO ADVANCED". Then you can rename the thread.

Are you able to assign the "shake to start" gesture to opening a new camera app?

You can if your phone is rooted and Xposed is installed. There is a module called twisty switch that allows you to launch other apps with the wrist twist, instead of the stock camera app.

Probably should mention that the app A: Uses only 6MP of the 12 the X is capable of. And B: Duplicates the official Gallery app.

Didn't saw a real image improvement....

Use Moto Display on custom rom

Is there a way to use Moto Display on a custom rom?

You should be able to get moto display by flashing the zip linked to this post on a stock based custom ROM.
You could try the zip on an AOSP rom, but I'm not sure it would work. If you decide to try it make a backup first just in case it causes problems. You might be stuck with ambient display on AOSP roms.

There is this app from play store that nearly resembles moto display. Try it also https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay

If the ROM has CM Actions, gestures, you will have all the stock ROM actions. Like wave (turns ambient display into something like moto dispaly), lift to wake, chop chop for torch, and twist for camera.

Yeah, I've just found that the Moto stuff is more accurate because it actually uses those three extra motion sensors.

HI, give Glance plus a try..i tried many apps for getting functionality like Moto Display in CustomRoms, so far i find .. GlancePlus gets the job done if you tune it good :highfive:

What do you mean with this?
For example, i have a Moto G4 Play and i want to install "LineageOS 14.1". Do you think i'll still having the moto display?

You don't actually get Moto display on AOSP ROMs since they are not Moto stock based. However some AOSP ROMs have features​ baked in like ambient display that perform similar to Moto display. It will all depend on the ROM.

Could it work if I flash this zip file on a Lineageos 18 ROM? And how do you flash additional files on an already existing ROM?

Change soft buttons position

Hello,
I'm looking for suggestions about tweaking the soft buttons, more specifically I want to assign the buttons on the right to avoid the little stretching I have to do and also to not compromise my stable hold of the phone.
Thanks.

After installing with root access does the bottom soft disappear leaving the side pies only when you touch for them

I haven't specifically used it but I think that the Xposed module called "Gravity Box" might have that trick up it's sleeve. It comes in both Lollipop & Marshmallow flavors, there should be a dedicated thread under the Xposed modules here on XDA that you could browse through and ask questions about that possibility.

You are absolutely correct! I should've suggested that too as I'm using GravityBox myself (I'm not hiding the nav bar though).
In fact, since I wrote my original reply above I've had to remove LMT due to some incompatibility and am using GravityBox's similar PIE controls instead.

Have you tried enabling the ambient display using xposed?

Does it work? Does it work good?

Yes and yes. just need to enable the softkeys now.

On my desire eye, I had to use 2 for it to work.
Just look up "ambient" and there should be two.
