Anybody seen the new motorola x phone's touchless google now feature??
can it be ported to the nexus 4??
please devs try to port it when phones come out..
i am sure many people would want it.
Thanks!
The moto x uses an extra CPU for that feature so it either wont be possible or very battery and hardware hungry.

Yep it's a specialized DSP-core that's NOT ARM based.

So does that mean it woudnt be ported...
Or it would be ported but would drain the battery life?

It will likely be ported, but according to the Moto article it specifically stated this special DSP allows them to have such great battery. The Nexus has a DSP, however the X has two new DSPs from Moto(as part of the "octo X8").
Two of the promoted features of the Moto X are Active Display and Always-on google now. To answer your question directly, yes they will be ported. But, will it be practical to use in everyday life? Probably not. This is because of the battery drain that these would have. Both these feature have some specialized hardware support (different screen, special CPU cores etc) for these functions and are kind of the main selling points of the device. So, it is unlikely that we're going to see this in full force on our Nexus devices.

Thanks for the information!!
So, I saw in that forum that there was some performace issues and stuff.
It's better with the update ?

So what?
Delete my thread if you want. I endup buying this one : Bq aquaris m5. Way better that the Motorola for his price.

My wife borrowed my X Play on Marshmallow for a day and she commented that it was so slow. Told me to buy a new phone lol. My question is will the x play ever get faster through updates?
What did she use it for and slow in comparison with which phone? Surely the x play is not blazingly fast as other flagship phones but it gets the job done while having a longer battery life

Skyping with her mom, texting during the day mostly. I guess I have gotten used to the speed and she is new to the lag
Try changing the animation speed in Developer options from stock to 0.5x or simply disabled it (0)

Is there anyway to speed up the scrolling speed?

Opening and closing apps is much faster now but scrolling speed is still slow

Using a mid range phone and expecting it to perform like flagship, I don't think it's right.
X play is smooth enough and lag free for daily use.
And although scrolling speed can't be increased or decreased although animations can be increased or decreased.

Did you read what I said previously? I'm not expecting anything. Don't put words in my mouth. I'm fine and used to the play myself

Marshmallow is much faster as lollipop. I do not have any lags also it is good at scrolling now. The update changed much for me in smoothness.
My girlfriend just bought the Moto X Play, I was going for the same but settled for the Moto x 2014 instead. She is always telling me how fast it is. She is a basic user. . browsing the web, messaging, the social apps etc. Certainly fast enough and then some. Her X Play is still on Lollipop.
I was playing around with a few settings on my G5 today when I thought of something - the real strength of the SD820 SOC lies in its GPU, not the CPU. Low and behold I found that enabling "Force GPU Rendering" shaves several tenths of a second off of the average input-to-response time for just about everything you do on this phone. I know it may use a bit more battery having it on, but the effect is quite striking. To demonstrate the difference, try double tapping to wake your screen without the option enabled and then try again with the option on. You should notice a remarkable jump in response time. Even in launching apps it is a very noticeable gain. Just thought I'd pass this on to those who haven't tried it.
Yup working great for me
Wowcha, it's incredibly faster when running like this, even typing runs quicker!
Thanks for the heads up dude

You're very welcome!
I think it also saves battery life as it takes stress off the CPU... If rooted install a kernel mngr app and view cpu-freq times... It stays low
And GPU sits just above its lowest freq with normal use.
So your phone stays cooler works faster and gets better battery life! Now just turn down those animations to .5x
And voilà! Better battery life!
The SD820 is truly magnificent and our version doesn't explode!
I can enable this in developer settings?

How do you make Developer Settings visible so this can be enabled? Forum search isn't working for me.

Go into settings and then to about phone, software info then tap on build number multiple times until it tells you you've gained developer settings.

Thanks, I know I had to do this years ago on my HTC One to enable USB debugging, but I'd forgotten the sequence.
Do you think it really saves a bit of battery compared to leaving it off? If it does save some battery I think I'll give it a whirl

The OP said it may cause a little extra battery drain, but, I've been using it, and I'll say that battery impact is entirely negligible and the speed of openings apps is extremely noticeable!!
I do however, always have animations turned off when I run any Android device.
Why forsake speed for a little useless animation and battery drain is what I say!!

What exactly are you guys seeing? I tried enabling and disabling it 10 times and I cant see any difference.. I tried double tap to wake up, swiping, typing, opening apps... Everything feels the same..

By offloading all on-screen graphics processing from the CPU (rather than just specified instances like in the case of 3D graphics), it is able to save valuable process time and thus respond to user commands more quickly. There is definitely a real difference here.
Thanks for the tip. This helped me. And I noticed the difference too. :victory:
Force GPU rendering: This setting forces apps to use hardware 2D rendering, even if they were written to not use it. It can make things look great, or it can temporarily bork your phone. Use with care. (link)
GPU consumes more power the CPU, hence you may observe 5-15% lower battery life with option enabled. (link)

Also most apps that support it have it enabled in the settings. It's off by default for battery life and compatibility issues, including making some games slower as they optimise between what to pass to GPU and not. Setting the flag overrides these optimisations.
In theory couldn't it make the phone run cooler though?

I got my phone last week on friday . It came with the software version v10c . I got 6 hours sot and the phone did not heat up without gpu rendering beeing enabled . On sataurday i updated to v10i and the phone got really hot that day and on sinday too . I tried to install v10d via Lg up but failed at it . I enabled force gpu rendering today and my device didnt get hot anymore . I am sitting at 75% with 2 hours screen on time . I was mostly on XDA and was using chrome . So i dont think , that the battery life decreases if you enable force gpu rendering .

Same for me. 100% identical, not a single improvement or change.
I have v20 t mobile
And phone lag too much
Too much lag and delay in every thing
Like cpu in power saving mod
I flashed cm rom and it has no problem
What causes this lag in stock LG rom?
Settings/Developer Options/Tick on "Force GPU Rendering" this should make this beast smoother/snappier" If root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps found on Play Store! LG V20 & LG G5 are snappy beasts, well optimised with Snapdragon 820 and is better than Samsung.

So this Force GPU Rendering should be unchecked or checked?
It is really weard
Sometimes phone fly
Sometimes lag very much
I dont exactly know the problem is
But that phone has bad software optimization

No problems here either. Which means it is time for you to do an app check.

I think my problem is from Facebook app and meesnger app. I removed them now my phone is flying
They are killing my v20
My phone lag with them
Opening any app lag
Opening settings lag
Opening state bar lag .

My v20 performance was like I'm using samsung note 2
Hahah
Read something about certain apps doing it mainly like Facebook Twitter and can't remember the other but I have neither on my phone and it runs fine.

Just in case there are still have people having this issue. I second this.
After removed Messenger Lite and Facebook app, I experience the responsiveness that I never experienced before.
It improved my gameplay experience for 王者榮耀 (Arena of Valor/ Honor of Kings/ Strike of Kings) as well. From unbearable lagginess with lowest graphic setting to smooth highest setting.
So, the Moto G4 has two screen color modes: standard and intense.
Does the intense one affect battery life? I have been searching for this and I can't find this information anywhere.

....why would it? It doesn't increase or decrease the intensity of the backlight. It just increases the saturation/vibrance of the colors.

Depends on the ROM- stock ROM has color modes built in and some other ROMs have the app.
