I'm coming from a Droid Turbo and one features I use all the time is the Moto Action that allows you to wave your hand over the phone to turn on the Moto Display. In Moto Actions it's called "Approach for Moto Display". I was poking around a Moto G5 display unit and couldn't find this specific setting and because it was in demo mode, couldn't test it out.
Can someone confirm whether this feature exists in the G5?
Thanks!
Sorry to confirm it's not listed under Moto Actions on my G5 Plus. My Moto X Pure 2015 has 'Approach for Moto Display' so I know what it is. Probably the G5+ lacks the sensor(s) that enables it.
A member of this forum made an app for this phone to enable that feature. Works pretty well.

That really sucks, but I appreciate the confirmation. Is there something similar that replaced it? I thought I saw something in Moto Actions on that display unit that mentioned something about the Moto Display "pulsing". I think it was the first option in Actions.
Excellent! Sounds super promising. Thanks.

Hello,
I am considering buying moto g4 plus, but some reviews mentioned the phone doesn't sport that many sensors (including magnetometer). Could someone post a screenshot of sensors list using cpu-z app on the phone?
TIA
This what you're looking for?
Yeah! this is what i needed. Thanks!
so there really isnt any compass on this device though there are many other sensors
Buy this phone if u want a 1990 pc with great features! Instructions are simple, keep it under AC...

Motorola Moto G4 Plus Sensors
The previous takes out the requirement for a warning LED as it demonstrates to you the time and a sneak peak of your notices opening the telephone, the minute you move it. There is an LED to one side of the unique finger impression sensor, however we just saw it when it quickly lit up while charging the telephone. Moto Actions gives you a chance to trigger different movement based motions, which all work as promoted. There aren't any preloaded applications other than a record supervisor and the standard suite of Google applications.
I tried the Moto G4 at a store recently and really hated the display, so I decided to take advantage of the pricing for the Amazon Prime deal today and pickup the Pure X. One thing that I do like on the Moto G4+ is the advanced options in the Camera app, as well as the dedicated shutter button!
Any chance this can be ported over to Moto X Pure?
I miss moto display so much. Has anyone been able to port out the motorola active display app for other phones? Anyway to replace the google ambient display with motorola?
Ive tried Notific, acdisplay, dynamic notifications, glimpse and they're all buggy and none of them work as well as moto display.
Is there any alternative apps out there? Any roms with moto display support?
I heard resurrection remix has moto permissions to download the moto apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...73&postcount=2) Do all remix's have this?
Thanks

I have an app for all Moto devices.
MotoDisplay handwave
Due to some reason, this app isn't working on E3 devices. It would be extremely helpful if someone uploaded the Stock Moto Display apk here so that I can take a look.
You can get the apk via any app on play store that is used for app backup. I use ES Explorer.
Please help me get this device supported. Thanks.
Moto E3 comes with a Mediatek chipset and just like Moto M, is not engineered by Motorola. Hence like other Lenovo phones, it does not have Moto display sensor and nor the Moto display feature.
It uses notification led.
So, your app won't work on it and also it won't work on the newly launched Moto M.

What?! Are you sure? I think I saw Moto Display on an E3. Maybe that wasn't an E3, or I saw something else.
But why is everyone requesting me to update this app to get this device supported?
I will have to check things out. Thanks for your reply.
May be that was a G3 or G4 play as both are identical to E3.
I am sure E3 doesn't have moto display as I had the device and I myself tried porting Moto display & other moto apps but they didn't work due to Mediatek chipset.
Yes that must have been G4 or G4 Play. Also no video reviews of E3 mention of Moto Display in the device.
has somebody able to port moto actions apk for moto g4 plus.. from moto g5 for fingerprint based gestures..
i heard that someone is working in that project.. trying to bring it in moto g4 plus
is that true ?
please correct me.. if i am wrong... :fingers-crossed:
AFAIK, it won't work. Even the fingerprint sensor of athene is quite smaller than potter, which according to me doesn't provide much space for the 'said' gestures. However you can use Button Mapper app by @flar2 .
