I just received an update to Touchless Control.
The version is now 4.3.10.1
What's New
- Enhanced end-of-speech detection for improved accuracy and faster responses
- New ""What's Up"" / ""Read Notifications"" voice command that reads out new notifications so you never miss a thing
- ""What's Up"" / ""Read Notifications"" fully launched for U.S. English, Spanish, and Italian and in beta for other languages / regions.
- Compatible only with Android 4.4 KitKat
- Bug fixes
I had to toggle Touchless Control off and then back on to have it work after the update.
Update - March 12th - new version 4.3.11.1 (seems to just be bug fixes)
Wow, I'm impressed!

This update is so awesome
This is a nice update, but here is hoping it is just the beginning. Why not add all kinds of stuff to it, such as being able to ask it the status of wifi, then turn it on or off. Google technically supports the feature, it just needs to be enabled in the phone.
With enough engineering effort the possibilities of Touchless Control and Active Notifications are near endless and could be one heck of a Motorola exclusive feature.
Pretty damn cool but looks like it doesn't work well with 3rd party texting apps.
For example, I'm using Hello SMS and instead of saying the sender's name, it says, "You have received a notification from Hello" and then the message.

It's a lot faster though. Wow!
Took advantage of the new version on the drive home today. I don't use driving assist mode so the read notifications feature really rocks. It had no problems reading out the subject of an email I received, it read both text messages and a gchat I received. All while sitting in the holster clipped to my hip.
Just downloaded the update, very cool

After watching the movie Iron man a few days ago the potential of this is limitless! I would like my own personal Jarvis!

What I like about the Moto X is that many of its key features (Active Display, Touchless Controls) are actually apps that can be updated independently of the ROM itself. And Google itself, with Maps, Hangouts, Chrome, Calendar, GMail, etc.... all of those are now just apps that have their own update schedule.
I know not being on the latest OS can be pain for other phones, but can we all agree that we're in a much better shape than the Android 2.3 days where apps were tied to the OS?
Any republic wireless user get the update? Still on 3.15.01.
No update available in play store.
Can the apk be side loaded?

i really appreciate the foresight to move those types of updates to the play store. with that said as an att customer it still bites that we have not been updated to 4.2.2.
Thanks for updated sharing.. I am going now updated...:fingers-crossed:
Anyone know whether this can be installed on the Moto X if you are running CyanogenMod (or does it require something in the Moto Rom framework?). I'm guessing no, and can test it myself later, but it's such a killer feature that I have no interest in CyanogenMod right now otherwise...

Then flash back to stock. Moto x stock rooted with gravity box is all you need. You got all the great features of the moto x plus the perks of being rooted and being able to customize your device.
MOTO X SLAPPED

None of these core components (touchless control, active notifications, etc.) can be installed on the CM or other 3rd party builds.

Yeah... because that's what I asked.... I'm not running cm, I'm running stock plus gravitybox. I asked a simple question - please improve your reading comprehension skills. And anyway, that is only sufficient until moto stops supporting the phone and cm is on android 5.0 and the x is stuck at 4.4.2....

That's what I figured. Thanks for confirming. Here's to hoping that the work being done right now that's in proof of concept phase will work out!
There was another update today, version is now 4.3.11.1

Yea, I just got it too. I don't see any thing new in the Play Store change-log though. Maybe just bug fixes?
The new Touchless Control is great. Has the latest update to Active Display been fixed to not break it?
The new update got me using it again. Bug fixes including something along the line of better hotword detection something of which was needed. Along with the read notifications. I'm falling in love with this phone all over again.

Hello fellow DT2 owners i have recently bought a moto x force aka European variant of DT2 but it is missing the circles widget which used to have on previous moto phones. is their anywhere i can download the official apk for circles. Thanks for reading.
This may work, but you need root: http://www.droidviews.com/install-motorola-droid-turbo-circle-weather-widget-android-device/
Or you can try XWidget from the Play store
Thanks I managed to find one seems to be ok.
I don't know if anyone else noticed this but the new Moto is more Google than ever. Is this part of the deal with Lenovo? To keep things as Google as possible? If so, I'm super excited.
Let me explain how I came to this conclusion.
I've owned all the Moto phones since Google acquired Motorola Mobility. All of them had some extra Moto apps, Moto Gallery, Messages, Alert, Migrate, Connect, E-Mail etc except this year. This year they were different. They removed all the apps except the Moto Camera and the Moto app (except the droids since they have the Verizon bloatware and Verizon launcher, the unlocked ones come with Google Now Launcher and Google Messenger). Now all the Moto phones have the same look as a Nexus with 2 - 3 extra additions that we know and love. If that is not enough to convince you, take a look at the design guidelines of their website, it looks like something made by Google. Same font, same writing style everything, just different logo. Still not convinced? Take a look at the new Moto logo on top of the fingerprint scanner, it's using Google's own custom font from the new android logo. The custom font was made for Google only. No other brand has the right to use this font, and it is not available anywhere. Google says on their android developer page that the custom font may not be used by anyone so that means Google has its designers take care of Moto.
What do you think? Does it all make sense now?
I would very much agree!
However, the true test of their relationship with Google will be how long it takes for us to get Nougat.
FYI - finally (and silently) received updates to the Play Store and possibly other Google Services components on a 3rd gen HDX running CM 12.1 that supports the enhanced Play Store functionality announced several months ago. Last updated/used date is suspect but the section showing which library apps are not installed on a specific device is a welcome addition.
Not sure how long this might take to hit 5th gen devices; some may already have it. Might score with a GAaps refresh or may get enabled upstream as part of a gradual rollout.
