[Q] SILENT LOCKSCREEN (feature from Moto x)

I love the new feature from new Google-Motorola phone "Moto X". The new "Silent Lockscreen Notification" feature is so neat, nice, useful...
I just love it
Unfortunately I am not a developer, so I don't have the skills to port it to our HOX but, wouldn't it be a great feature to have?
Youtube /watch?v=lbGmfk8yaZU, sorry i am not allowed to post external links as a newbie in XDA
The lockscreen feature is presented at 2 minute 30s mark.
:fingers-crossed:
What do you think? Would you like to see this feature in your Custom ROM?
Cheers

Active display

Totally useless on the One X because we don't have an OLED screen.

Not totally useless, only a bit more power consuming because the whole display would have to be activated instead only of part of it.
But screen would only glow in intervals (you could slow down the interval) when new notification arrives and when you take it out of pocket or flip it downside up with use of proximity sensor.
Bu yes, i agree, our battery is already a bit week.. :/

Seems pretty neat

Porting it to sense is impossible duo to sense framework work.
How ever its possible to port it to aosp if the necessary sources are out....
IMO its useless because its a battery sucker

there is an app called NoLED from the play store that does something somewhat similar. its not the same thing but it does give you a floating notification on the screen and tells you what app its from.
And yeah, LCD screens will use more power and will prevent the phone from properly sleeping. You can tune it to only turn on the screen if you flip it over.

Or you can use Active Notifications,it's verry verry similar to the Moto X:

Only Works on Devices with Android 4.3 for now
Edit. Looks like its experimental on 4.1.2 and 4.2.2. Anyone tried it yet?

Posted without reading the app description. When this app came out it only worked on 4.3 devices but now it works on the One X. Best to use with Low brightness.

Or you can create a Tasker profile that will make your screen pulse every few minutes until you dismiss the notification...

The app use a lot of battery. But it looks great!

Motorola touchless control APK

Here's a link to check it out. Not sure if it works. If anybody wants to test out the APK, please report back with your results.

Thanks but the app is only installable on the ULTRA, MAXX, Mini, and Moto X.
it installs without problems, but doesn't appear in appdrawer, and playstore says it's incompatible with the One

I have installed the .apk, but can't start it, as it isn't present as an actual app. I think, we also need the settings app directly from the Moto X/Droid Series, in order to be able to set up the actual touchless cotrols app.

Application installed just fine on my Telus Galaxy S3 with CM10.2. Added the activities shortcut through Nova Launcher. Tried to launch each activity but it just crashed.
Rebooted and continuous errors.
There's something unique in Motorola's framework similar to TouchWiz/Sense etc. I know this is the HTC One forums, but I felt like trying it out

lol i like how the OP post an apk wants people to test but it too scared to test it himself

wont work...but
why not try something that really works (touchless gesture that is)

Maybe we can try by changing the build.prop of the phone. We did the same with Facebook Home and it seemed to work. Anyone can try this out?

are you following me from phone to phone over the years? :silly:
i've got the air gestures half working (screen on, scroll through browser etc) gonna try and get the rest working later on...
as for motorola touchless control apk it will never work without the motorola chip inside

Touchless controls is going to require a Motorola Phone. It requires a specific low-core processor that allows the phone to be constantly listening, if we kept the mic in our phones on 24/7 without Motorola's specific hardware, our battery would die in 1 hour.

That would be the other way round.

No luck. I give up. Had a couple of responses earlier, like opening browser when it was already opened and requesting root.

Have you guys tryd using a logcat to see what it keeps looking for before it crashes just saying then we could have a better understanding.

Talking of Tom Cruise, he's like Sense 5. Remember the sense on our desire? Sense 5 looks just like that. I wonder how mimi Rogers looks like standing next to him today.

I was at work and couldn't download it and play with it. I have since tried it (it failed for me too), and have done some more digging. Apparently, the Moto X has a core in it's processor made to do just this. We do not have that core. Looks like this is a lost cause...

Stop saying core! It's a DSP, noting 'core' about that. .
But yes, this is useless without that chip. There is a app on play store that does the same thing and you can even set the wake phrase ('Jarvis!'). Haven't tried it so I cannot comment on battery, but I'm sure it uses quite a bit.

Nexus 5
Is this going to be able to work with the nexus 5 because is has the same snapdragon 800 or will it still struggle? So disappointed the nexus 5 doesn't feature some of the moto x impressive features like touchless control and amazing battery. Otherwise it is a great phone!

Didn't anybody tell you? We're obliged to mess around with our phones, edit build.props, you know, stuff that could render our devices as, well.....paperweights really, just so the op can laugh at our expense.
How about OP, you install on your device, if it doesn't work....bad times, if it does work, post a solution. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

[Q] Google fit periodically heart rate check

hello world ,
first of all I'm really happy with my moto 360, but one thing bothers me . It is the Heart rate moniture . I'm searching and looking around for a app That atomatically checks my heart rate every 5 minutes and uploads the data to google fit. but in the past two weeks I couldn't find anything...
I know that moto body does this but I deactivaded it because I use google fit and think moto body is worthless. I hope someone knows a way or I inspire someone to programm it (in that case I devenetly wanna be a alpha tester : o)
hope to hear soon of you!
I use the moto 360 on Android 5.0.1 and a sony xperia Z3 compact on 4.4.4

u rooted?
how u deactivated the stock moto body app?

I'm not rooted.
First of all when moto body is activated it check your heart every 5 min (so every 5 min it turns on the green led.) if you go to the moto body app and scroll to the settings menu than turn of all the notifications and than it is deactivated. You can check it by looking for 5 min at the heart rate monitor!

But does anyone now how to get it work for google fit?
(how can i move this treat to the android wear forum not the moto 360)

shoot, I cant even get heart beat to register when the 360 is set to check for it through googlefit.... if i change it to motobody then it returns results in the guage but never get a reading when set to google fit.

But is there a way to make a app or anything for this?

This is perfect, thank you!!

I tried this app for the same exact reason, however, you need to pay to get the features that you want. Also its a huge battery hog. Im really surprised that these features haven't been thoroughly implemented in Android Wear yet. Im really hoping that we can get the moto wellness tracker a backup and restore feature, as i enjoy flashing roms and requires a 360 reset which in turn, erases all moto data.

thanks, great app

*bump*
Since the App got deleted on the Play Store.. Is there any other way to get the Heart Rate from the 360 into Fit?
Ultimately i was thinking about doing it with AutoWear and Tasker to use the Rates also for other things, like checking if you still wear the Watch or combine the Rate with the Active Tasker Profile. Things like that...
I just did'nt found a way to insert data with Tasker into fit yet.

The app just got updated to 0.4 maby your bug is fixed

nah, i'm doing it with Tasker and AutoWear right now.. The only thing that still bothers me is that i can't turn off the screen while Fit is measuring the Heartrate (or at least turn it off, after he executed it) because &screenoff& somehow doesnt work. But at least he also sends the Rate back to Tasker, so that i could interact with it. And this way i can easily check if it is Working, which is the Problem with Clinche which did'nt got my heartrate for 4 hours without me noticing it.
But i still don't like the Fact that i need to use an App on the Watch

Can someone upload heart rate os apk, its no longer available on google store

Always on screen

HELLO ;
Is it possible to port the always on display from G5 to our device? Is some one did it or attend to do?

There is an app in play store called always on , you can try that.
Probably you gonna have a battery drain that will convince you to stop using it because the g3 haven't been built for it.
The whole backlight will be on all the time, the g5 can light up just a para of the LEDs, meaning just a minor battery consumption.

You can install an app called
,GLANCE PLUS, .apk
Then you have, always on,
On your g3.
That's all.

[APP][Moto Display]Activate Moto Display by waving over proximity sensor

Hello everybody.
We all know that Moto Display is very useful and shows incoming notification. In Moto G and E devices, it activates when the phone is moved from its position, or when a flip cover over the phone is opened. However I have heard that in Moto X devices, it activates even if you wave over the proximity sensor.
So I thought of making a small app that does the same. It is on Play Store.
MotoDisplay handwave
This might be helpful to some people like me. Do hit the Thanks button if it helped you.

Great app, and very useful!

Thanks. This works very well and hardly uses any battery (despite the warning).

Thanks, works perfectly. I found this on the play store first when looking for something that added this functionality. I ended up turning off the wave/hold to shut down screen because it locked the screen even though smart lock should have kept it unlocked.

You are welcome.
I have been pointed out that to programmatically lock the screen, one needs device administrator permission. But after locking the screen, smart lock doesn't work. So it is an Android limitation.

Yes, and your app did correctly ask for admin permission and did lock the screen correctly. I assumed that it was an Android issue as opposed to an issue with your app.

I am now running LineageOS, which does not have Moto Display...So logically, your app will not work (yet . Would someone please post apk's for Moto Display and related files (if any)? Thanks!

I had made a similar request, but someone told me that to make Moto Display work on custom ROMs, you would need to make a separate kernel.

Is it possible to wake up the screen without Moto display being active ? I don't like the "stock" moto display feature(moving the phone to activate).

You can disable Moto Display. But the phone won't be activated. I will add a feature to activate the lock screen of the phone in this app.

Thanks for the quick response !
Looking forward to this feature !

Nice application.
