Moto Voice, Action and assist with CyanogenMod 12.1 - X 2014 General

Hey guys,
After moving from stock to cm there are some features that I missed a bit.
The Moto Voice is one of them:
Yesterday I managed to install the Moto Voice app directly from the Playstore to my Moto X 2014 (xt1092). I tried the same with several devices but none of them can see it on the Playstore.
You might want to see if you're able to download it but there is an issue (as always ^^), the app is installed and running but doesn't react to anything, I'll join some screen shots to let you see that.
As you can see on the screen shots other features like assist or action are working.
There might be some way to fix the problem of Moto Voice, I'll continue to try to find a fix and I'll share with you the progress of the work.
You can also try to find a fix on your way too that would be a big help
Hit the thanks button if you would like to see Moto Voice coming to our Moto X running CyanogenMod
Hope I've helped you

Moto Voice works with the low power processor and needs support in the kernel and I think that is not in the public domain so difficult if not impossible to make work. Install the Google Now Launcher and "Ok, Google" comes pretty close to what Moto Voice does and everything it does do is a few seconds faster than Moto Voice (because most of what Moto Voice does, it just passes to Ok, Google anyway.)
Motorola is dropping Moto Assist in Marshmallow so that won't be a consideration in the future.
All of the Moto Actions are supported in CM 12.1 in Settings->Gestures.

Yeah the best thing with Moto Voice was that it runs in background even while the screen is off, and yeah, it makes sense that it is run by the low power processor ^^.
I didn't know Motorola was was going to drop moto assist, that's pretty sad, also its pity that at the time Motorola was Google and that haven't made a fully open source Smartphone :/
Well thanks for illuminate on that issue

Moto Assist , is another app which is already disabled in my MotoG
as Moto app will have the Assist integrated in it already; it will be unncessary to put again Moto Assist APK seperately , so the MotoAssist APK which used to be earlier is being removed
i am on MotoG i am currently seaching for MotoVoice , and i found this thread.. hope you find the solution bro all the best
if you can help me .. please visit this thread and see it bro

Moto Display (Re: Music Controls for Google Play Music Update)

It has been noticed that with new version of Google Play Music that Moto Display only shows thumb up, previous track and pause/play buttons.
It has also been noted that Moto Display looks for the 1st 3 available options in an app, and since the Google Play Music app was updated the first 3 options are not as useful as they had been.
My question is who is responsible for the fix? Does Google need to update the app again to be more compatible with Moto Display, or does Motorola have to update Moto Display?
This is a useful feature to me that I would love to take advantage of, and I would like to know who to express my concern to..
thanks
This is a Motorola fix. There is a thread somewhere that shows the MotoDisplay app basically just picks the first three "controls" that the music app has available, which is normally Back-Play/Pause-Next. Now it's Thumbs Up - Back - Pause.

If someone does find a fix, please post it here - it's annoying the heck out of me that the second-most-used option (forward) has been replaced by thumbs up, so you have to unlock just to forward the track.
I'm looking for this fix as well...
I made a post in the moto forums.. The mod said this "Fix coming in Always on Display updates, starting next month. I understand it will be more than one release before this is addressed for all software versions. Hang in there!" No help at all, as usual. To remedy the situation for the time being, I uninstalled all google play music updates and downloaded the latest version of it from apk mirror that has the correct music controls on moto display. Version 6.1.2116T.2441907 Make sure you uncheck auto updates in the play store and dont update.
Thank you for the post op, and thanks for the build number for the apk

Moto Assist

I just updated to MM and lost Moto Assist. Basically, when I get in the car I was setup to automatically read me my SMS messages, or when I got to work to automatically silence my phone. Can this be done without having to install a 3rd party app?
Yes. It took me a while to find it too. Open the moto app, press on the 3 little stars in the upper right, press on voice, press on talk to me and you should see a Drive option there.
There's an app I read and he uploaded the assist app with double chop flash light but I don't know if anyone has that app for MM, I tried to downloaded the assist 2.6.1 apk but it said "assist not compatibe" . Now I don't know what to do to restore that feature unless I downgrade to 5.1.1:crying:

Google instead of Moto Voice?

Long story short, I've been trying to use Tasker to launch the Google Voice Search overlay whenever Moto Voice is activated. It works relatively well, though it doesn't work when Moto Voice is launched while the screen is off. Moto Voice launches but Google Voice Search never overrides it.
I would use the built in feature from the Google App but it doesn't work while the screen is off like Moto Voice does.
I recall there being an xposed module called "okgooglenowtriggerintent" that would help with this on the Moto x 2013. Does anyone know if it still works or if there's an alternative to it?
Thanks in advance!

Missing Moto Assist Option

Hey everyone,
I just bought my Moto X Pure just yesterday (long time wanting...but being a dad forces you to wait for what you want), and I noticed when I initially started my phone which was at Lollipop I had all 4 options in the Moto "See What I Can Do" section (Assist, Actions, Voice, Display). When I let the phone update to MM I noticed when I came back to that screen the Assist option was gone. I'm thinking, ok let's try deleting the data of the Moto app and that should fix it....false. Then I tried factory resetting the phone thinking that would do it...false. I've no other options, PlayStore shows the moto assist framework is installed, and the latest version of the app i'm seeing is 4.0.21.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Moto voice

Hey guys
I like the moto voice trick but I find google app voice commands to be more responsive and especiallly working better offline I mean for exemple I wasn't able to set alarm offline in moto app while I could in google app
But "Ok google" won't work while the screen is locked so is there anyway to make it work while device is locked or to make moto app work better offline?? Thx in advance
the option is built into settinga to make google now work at the lock screen. If you meant screen off, googling for ok google screen off and installing the first result (the app) gets you there
