Updated Motorola Apps 1/19/15 - X 2014 General

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...-apps-ready-download-apk-mirror-apk-download/
New Gallery, Camera, OTA, Voice and others.
Only one that would not install for me was Contextual services, which I think is a Moto G/X 2013 only app.
Camera and Gallery have new stock. icons!
I installed all fine (except Contextual Services) and everything works. I am not responsible if something happens to ur device....:good:
Moto Voice app is a lower version so not necessary.

Careful with AP's link to moto voice. It's a 6 version number and the current is 7.0.13.1. The current one is lower on the apk mirror page. Strange though, I already had that installed...

Exactly, is a lower version than the actual we have installed, I think thats because all these apps are compatible with Moto x 2013.

Thanks. OP updated

If you look on that dl page it shows that there is a newer version available, v 7.0.13.1.

Yes, but us 2014 moto folks already had that version (at least on lollipop).

Yup , just saw that now, my apologies.

I installed all of the updates on my VZW 2014 moto X running lollipop. All installed just fine. Two issues appear resolved: the attentive display seems to be working and the camera is much improved. Hopefully, others can confirm this.

I'll test the Camera out today. I use Camera+ though, so can't see myself going back to stock. But its worth a shot, plus I like the new icon.

What kind of improvements did you find in the camera?

The only improvement I've seen in the update for the camera is that the front facing camera doesn't lag as bad in low light. I haven't noticed better picture quality. It's still sub par in low light and decent in good lighting.

when will the be in the play store?

I believe these were meant for soak testers.

Regarding the camera, I perceive there to be a difference in the focus and capture speed. But, I have no empirical evidence.

Yeah I noticed a speed improvement as well.

Sigh I was hoping this was gonna be the big camera update like the one the moto x 2013 got last year

Seems the download links are down. Any alternative links?

Motorola has removed all links

And knowing moto, how much do you want to bet that those of us whom already downloaded and installed the apps, will have to uninstall them to get the new official ones....

Makes no sense, they do have the same signature therefore will be identified as official for further updates.
I did install both the Moto and camera apps, glad it fixed attentive display at least.

People w/ Froyo(HACK) and bugs

Just curiosity: Are people that are reporting "bugs" (though to me it sounds like apps that need to be updated for full compatibility with Froyo) running the OTA updated 2.2, or manually updated 2.2?
Edit: Changed name to Froyo(HACK) as recommended by someone since no one seems to be running a genuine OTA updated Froyo
Manually-updated using the official signed update from Google, for me. I don't have most of the bugs that have been reported here; the only one I'm currently aware of is that two applications I updated via the market this morning are no longer shown in the "Downloads" list, although they are labeled as "installed" when I search for them in the market. Other than that, no problems here.

No one on the entirety of XDA has upgraded via the OTA update. Everyone hacked.
(The OTA was press-only for people who attended Google I/O.)

I understand what you're saying.
However Google have released an OTA update to the MEDIA!
They'll grab this with both hands and show how the NEW messiah has fallen over again and how we should have all bought iPhones.....
I do believe this Froyo is HIGHLY unpolished and very dissapointing. It should have been released when it was fully ready.
I'm desperately trying to get back to CM but it seems to have screwed my phone and I'm stuck........

I think I'll just wait for the official Google OTA.
Good thing that people around here are chasing up all the last minute bugs for Google though. I am sure they would prefer to see them now rather than after releasing it to the general public.

good point lol
I'm waiting for the official Google too
Yeah I updated with Paul's version and I would have stayed on froyo but having annoying camera bugs.
I dont think Google meant this as an actual release since you Market isn't allowing protected apps etc with the froyo fingerprint. etc.
So i'm back on Cyan and all is well with the world.
I did however keep the newer radio to test it out.
It would be great if someone around here could change EVERY thread title that mentions this version to FROYOHACK so that once the real official one is released, we dont have to wade through all this pre-release BS. I know it is not possible but just thought.
What were your camera bugs?
I did Paul's too and mine worked 100%. Still have the new radio and according to speed tests it is doing better than the old one

I've posted it in the general forum. QIK app didn't work and if you use the stock camera app and slide to the camcorder then BACK to the camera, N1 would crash.
I posted the logcat and it appears there are some incompatibilities somewhere deep. I tried every kind of wipe and 'band-aid' that I could to get it working and failed miserably.
But I figured since i'm on an AT&T N1 that this release wasn't intended for me and there must be some kind of subtle differences.
*shrug* we'll see.

One thing I have learn is a app has a widget and it is moved to the sdcard it will show install but not show. I moved these to the phone and they show now.

Hah, as OP, I changed it. I didn't realize (though I had read it somewhere else) that the only people who got the OTA update were press/developers who went to I/O.
FOR THOSE JUST READING NOW: According to Paul (and where ever else I read online), anyone else with Froyo updated manually, so take current issues with a grain of salt.

The FM radio stuff was never announced OFFICIALLY. I do remember it being something rumored, but I don't ever remember Google saying it was an addition to Froyo. AND, even if it was announced, read my reiteration above about no normal consumers having the Official OTA update to Froyo.

Sort of ironic now, that people will avoid this thread in favour of ones without HACK in the title, as they will not want to accept that they have a hacked version on their device You cant win I guess.

i tried the guide which helped you flash the us sw on the EU version of the device, and it worked. I was running the US version for 1 day, tried updating, nothing worked, i kept it for about 26 hrs and no update popped up, i would've pulled the update and uploaded it. Now i returned to the EU version so i can benefit from the update when it rolls our for the EU versions. I can't say i'm disappointed, moto G is an awesome device, cant wait for january
I'll give my impressions once I actually get KitKat. I pre-ordered the US GSM model direct from Motorola, and I live right smack dab in the middle of the USA.....no update yet. =(

Nice try. There is nothing wrong with the camera hardware in this phone. There has been some sort of aggressive software filter that blurred the photos in 4.3 but it is fixed in kitkat. Perhaps you should see for yourself next time.

I have a XT1033 and after updating to kitkat I got no SIM signal..

Just updated my Moto G, but the Google now command "OK Google" doesn't work from outside Google Now. I have to click on the button first to enter now, and then it works.

Thanks it works now but not when the phone is inactive (black screen). I heard that Moto X can wake up at "OK Google" even when inactive, and I was hoping installing Kitkat would introduce this feature to Moto G, but I suppose I was wrong.
Thanks anyway!
^^that is MOTO X *ONLY* feature known as Touchless controls, which uses special X8 core on soc to always listen from you
However devs will never sit quitely
We have Open Mic+ and Utter!

Those on the 5.1 leak would have not received an update to Moto Actions through the play store. The version on the play store is 1.9.10. The version in 5.1 is 1.11.2. The version in 5.1 is a newer version that the one on the play store.

Moto G5 Plus App issue

I'm not sure where to put this thread but I put it hear. Earlier this year, around September Snapchat released this feature called sky filters which basically uses augmented reality using your primary camera. There's this feature called sky filters which changes the look of the sky. Peppr I know with s7 edges, s8s and iPhones have been able to get the filter to work. On the other hand, I have signed out of the beta, reinstalled the app, rebooted and performed a factory reset and I still don't have any luck. Is this because the g5 plus doesn't have the camera 2 API or is it because I'm on the stock 32 bit room(with an unlocked bootloader). This is frustrating for me. Should I flashing a 64 bit rom and try again because I have heard that moto phones have a stock 32 bit rom. Thanks .

T-mobile ATE6 update really helped with autofocus issues! Check it out

So we all know the s20 series has had problems with auto focus especially in the ultra that one was really jacked up. I have the regular galaxy s20 and also have autofocus problems. I have done numerous things to try to make it better I even did a full reset which I normally never do because I would just clear cache and data of said app and it would clear things up. but not this time autofocus was hit or miss for sure and problematic. And for a $1,000 device this Just is not right and don't cut it for me... shoot my old one plus seven pro had better autofocus! and that thing was like 600 bucks. Anyway I am pleased to say that with this new update it is pretty much 100% autofocus is much faster, actually really fast. and 10 out of 10 for me focused instantly. hopefully I don't get in trouble for this if I have to take it down mods just let me know.

Auto update hasn't hit the US. Maybe we'll see it combined with a June security
update soon.
Edit: I see it is hitting T-mobile and other US carriers this morning, but still with May security patch. US unlocked got ATD1 at the beginning of the month, not sure if T-mobile ever got that one, or just skipped straight to ATE6.

Yes t-mobile dropped the update. Just updated mine Friday night May 22nd at 11pm. And I gotta say this update definitely improved on the camera auto focus. And for me it definitely boosted up my battery.

This just came in, installing now, is very fast, the fingerprint is very fast, this update size is 462 mb For the S20 Ultra on T Mobile G988U
Definitely noticing better auto focus after the update.
Now I'm looking forward to Samsung's promised update to allow native gestures to be used on 3rd party launchers. Wish I weren't so anal about small quirks of the gestures that FNG has but the native gestures are the best IMO.
Man, I hate this. I'm on an unlocked s20 ultra and tmobile somehow pushed it out before Samsung does.
Yep def improved some things with this update....things i have found are the auto focus is blazing fast now and seems like fingerprint is a tad quicker....also idk if its me or what but sound seems to have improved coming out of the speakers for sure
After T-Mobile ATE6, my Samsung Keyboard forcloses. Anyone having this issue? I had to use voice command to download GBoard from Playstore because I wasn't able to type anything at all. Matter fact, the keyboard itself doesn't pop up. I've also wiped cache and deleted data through apps. Galaxy store says it's version 5.0.21.0

Type this in adb connected to s20 ultra while on home screen. I use nova launcher and native gesture at the same time. You'll have to do it again if you change the navigation type in settings or if you restart the device.

So I converted my US unlocked to T-Mobile version (never thought I’d ever say that! Lol) and yes, it’s so much better now. Camera snaps to focus very quickly. Night shot seems better also.

At least for the Ultra, an easy way to know they aren't the same: the current ATD1 software on the unlocked phone doesn't have the new macro prompt. ATD1 has been out for a month, the new improvements in ATE6 just surfaced in the past week. But ATD1 did roll out with the May security update already, I expect unlocked will get the improvements of ATE6 with June security in a week or so.
