Yea trust me I tried that, usually you can click on the apk through Root Explorer and act like your gonna install it and it will show you what the icon looks like, I just cant find the MF lol
MobileAP is what it usually is called... might be under a different name.
I can't find it either on my 2.2 powered Epic.
FYI, I have removed it 1,000 times on various Epics with 2.1 using titanium backup or root explorer.

you can extract the app folder to ur sd and then look in the the folder in astro (astro showes the icons for apks) find the sprint hotspot one and then look at the name and pow delete that mofo lol (in system)

Then why would it be listed under applications as it's own entity?
This is the first I heard that it was part of settings and couldn't be removed.

I mean to actually browse your applications that you have installed. I've never heard of one apk putting two icons into your applications. This case, settings.apk throwing both Settings and the Hotspot in there.
Oh well. Traded my Sprint Tab in for AT&T Friday.

That's how it works... I know. You like the ATT Tab better?
They sound really sweet, techy yet classy!
These would sound great on our phones no?
Any ideas on how to do this?
Really sucks that Moto chose stupid MTP protocol for the USB port.
They're in system\media\audio\notifications.
You can get to them with a file manager App like Astro. Probably the easiest way is to download the Xoom Files dump that somebody linked to awhile back.
Or, using Astro, you can select them all and copy them to your Download folder, which is accessible to your PC through the USB cable.
Please share if you have them
Thanks.

I love my motox but one of the features I miss about my S3/Note2 was the gallery feature where you could create folders and move pics around within the gallery app. It was so convenient!
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
check out a different gallery app like quick pic!
Or a file manager like ES File Explorer
Parker, I know but I don't like downloading apps for existing functionally I find it redundant.
This should be functionality built into android
Solutions, I have been using a filer Explorer but it's cumbersome. Samsung's solution was so elegant

That's kind of the point of Android in general and Moto X in particular. It doesn't have all the extra crap that bloats the Samsung devices. If you want a feature, download an app. Simple.

All that bloat on touchwiz and others like it....is used by some, but just bloat to others. I much prefer adding the apps I want....versus having to debloat all the stuff I don't want. ?
Thats just me.
Sent from my N5, N7, Moto X, G Tab 3 or S2.....
IMO, that type of functionality should be in the stock gallery app...
Let me add.....if you aren't rooted....bloat can be a nightmare. At least on a vanilla android system....there's very little to debloat, so not having root isn't as dire. ?

I would argue that if you want to create directories and move files around, a file manager is the tool of choice, just as it is on a pc. Putting that functionality into every app that accesses files is redundant and unnecessary.
Yea that's always been kind of weird that you can't do that. I recently started using Dropbox to save all my photos which is nice. You can create folders on there to keep them organized! Also, you'll get extra space (500Mb) to store photos once you activate the auto-upload thing.
The WORST thing is picture messages from iPhone users. They all come to me in the STUPID slideshow format that sucks. You can't even zoom in on the pictures and I've noticed in particular with the Moto X that the play/pause buttons disappear. So now I have to wait the 15-20 seconds for the next slide to look at the pic. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? Other than the obvious of installing a different SMS/MMS app or using Hangouts? I prefer the stock application and this is the only gripe I have with it.

problem is, your thinking like a software engineer, not an end user I want to be able to move my pictures around from where I look at them, not have to go into some other app, do it there and then go back and check it all out from the gallery app.

What I do is long press on those messages and say Save Attachments. That way they just go to your downloads folder and you can view them at full size and at your leisure.

I am thinking like a computer user, who has used Finder (Mac), Explorer (Win), and File Browser (Linux) to manipulate files, and prefer one interface for it.
For me, the most compelling reason for Android IS user access to the file system. If you want all file management from within the apps that access those files, you're a prime candidate for iOS.
Not trying to be snarky about this, I simply prefer to use file management tools for file management, rather than seeing numerous interfaces from numerous apps, and the additional overhead they require.
This app helps, still not as elegant as the touchwiz version but it's OK

I was going to get the gs5 today but driving home from a place I didn't know saying "OK Google, navigate me home." Made me think twice about getting it. I use these features way too often to not have it on a device anymore. Sure I could of looked it up but that takes me waking and unlocking the phone then putting the address in, which I know it seems that I'm being lazy but these features help out a lot!

It may be built into Android in the future if users want it, but for the most part, core Android apps provide basic functionality. Manufacturers build on AOSP with their own software tweaks or go closed source with a specific software suite (most of Samsung's S-apps are redundant when Google offers the same apps).
This is kind of analogous to editing with MS Paint or Adobe Photoshop. You can do it in both, but one obviously has more features.

On the GS5, you'd just go into Google Now and say the same thing. It's definitely more convenient with Touchless Control though.

There's nothing about the S5 (although the paying with PayPal with your fingerprint is handy) that is appealing enough to make me leave my motox. I've said, I'll never own another phone that doesn't have touchless control.

Why is the Motorola Camera app from Google Play not available for the nexus 4?It says that it requires a 4.4.2 device,which my N4 is,but I am unable to install it simply because "it's not compatible".Please enlight me about this issue.I don't know,I might not have fully understood something about the app and its compatibility.

I did...tried to install various versions,all failed.
One of the older versions is working 100%. You just have to copy the apk into your system folder and then either wait for it to appear in app drawer or just reboot. I loved this app on my previous phone but not on n4. Its only advantage is the long touch burst mode with which you take continue shots very fast and clear. If you still can't find a working version I might have it in my drive folder so just pm me to give you a link.

This is for the Amazon ads version of the g4 play. What this is supposed to do is patch in memory the build.prop file to allow tethering when the phone tries to check in with the carrier to see if tethering is allowed. No it does not need an unlocked bootloader. If it's the same as the fix I've been working with him on then it is only a temporary fix as rebooting the phone will lose the option and the app has to be run again.
@ledothis you may want to describe to them how long it takes to run the app and what they'll see on their screen.

Thanks. Yes, I'd like to know more. I was reading the progress made on removing the ads from the Amazon version and saw your request to do the same to the build.prop file to allow tethering, but I didn't see any more info on that until this thread.
I have the Verizon Prepaid version and I'd like to know what it does to see if it could work on that.

It appears to go through similar processes as the adb instructions. I got the moto logo for awhile and then it went black. But it stayed there for quite a while. Almost ten minutes. So I just rebooted the phone. I'll try again tonight after a clean reboot.

Ok I had a chance to do it again yesterday. The app says patching assets and then restarting and then the phone stored at the moto logo screen for over 5 minutes. I then just rebooted. Should it take that long? I don't remember the adb exploit taking that long.

Tethering/hotspot just requires a simple build.prop entry
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
this app does the job for you.
you can also freeze the entitlement app with titanium

Are you on an Amazon version of the g4 play? And what entitlement app? Don't you have to have root to freeze apps? No root on this device.
If you ran this app can you tell me how long it took the app to make the change and return to a usable state?

yes, root is required for any of the changes at all in this thread.
However, for USB tether, easytether works without any root access.

You do not need root. We are dealing with a unique case for marshmallow g4 play phones. Wrhenal has confirmed this.

Yeh it shouldn't take 5 minutes. It should be about 30 seconds. I need to retest the app on my phone I have a feeling I left out a file when I packaged up the application.
Everything up until it restarting sounded good though.

I have found this issue and resolved it.
Attached is a new apk to try.

This app only works on Marshmallow. (ie. 6.0.1 android).
The app does not work with the 2017 security patch

Same issue. Patching assets (actually takes longer than the first one), then restarting... and then either a black screen (with backlight you can see) or the Moto logo and it just sits and sits... Waited almost 5 minutes once and nothing. But more than a minute each time.
I then cleared the data/cache of the app and still the same thing. I just can't get it to work.
For info:
I'm on 6.0.1 , Patch level July 1, 2016
Build: MPI24.241-2.35-1
Do I need something in developer options turned on?
Oh well..
Yeh sorry guys I just retried the app on my phone and it wasn't working.
There is some intermittent issue that I need to solve.
I am busy tonight but I will take a look tomorrow.

Okay I just got back from my camping trip. had no cell service at all where we were so it didn't matter. I've downloaded this copy and tested it and it appears to be working fine. I ran the app and let it patch the assets restart came up allows hotspot reboot hotspot is lost rerun the program let it restart and hotspot is back again.
Would be interesting if some people in the ad removal thread who have already upgraded to nougat could test this and see if it worked.
