Active Display

Hey guys,
I have the Moto G 4G/LTE (XT1039)
Recently, I have been unsuccessfully attempting and working around for ways to make "Active Display" to work on our phones... No such luck!!
So, I decided to try and experiment with possible replacement apps that can do the same or similar job...
And the best replacement app I have found so far to "Active Display" is:
• AC Display
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay&hl=en
This app ? Is definitely my favorite.
Works well and is fully compatible with the Moto G sensors and even with the lock screen using the music player as well.
I really liked the look of the Deprecated version:
• AC Display (Deprecated)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.activedisplay&hl=en
? But the sensors don't work!
I also tried:
• Dynamic notifications
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications&hl=en_GB
But I found this app being faulty on my phone, and the sensors definitely unresponsive or other times working the wrong way around...
So, if you guys have any other suggestions?
? Please share your thoughts and suggestions!

??? ? please can you elaborate?
"Amoled display" for what?
I'm really trying to understand your point, but I fail to understand your logic.
Saying that, I understand that you are only repeating the same comment from other forums participants.
? If you download "AC Display (Deprecated)" you will find that is the exact carbon copy of "Active Display" from Motorola. Unfortunately the sensors on that app don't work. The App was "Deprecated".
The reason for that, was that the developer was worried that Motorola would put a stop on his app development.
(Check is comments on Google+)
So he changed the layout of the app to stop the obvious resemblance to the Motorola app and he launched the current "AC Display" that does a similar job to the original with working sensors as well, but with a different esthetic look.
The app is still in development.
My point here is:
Not so long ago we didn't had "driving mode" and "home mode" on the Moto G.
Today Motorola finally give us that.
In the exact same way they can give us "Active Display" taylored for our phones.
In reality, Motorola/Lenovo can easily give us some power saving version of Moto voice if they desire, since they have already give us the home and driving mode.
? Everything is possible, for as long there is a will, than there is a way...
But realistically they will leave the premium options for the more expensive Moto X.

i think than you..
according to me an obstacle for the touchless control and the active display of motorola is the presence of one micro processor dedicate to this functiones..but everything is possible..
motorola developers have tried to porting a version lite of the active display ... this is established from the presence of the process Active Display Lite..

The active display from the moto X doesn't work on the Moto G because the moto X has an Amoled display which can turn single pixels on and off.

AC display works well on my moto g XT1033, was searching for this kind of app since 2 months. Thanks alot. :laugh::good:

The problem is that the crucial apps are optimized for different hardware on the Moto X.

Moto Voice - Selfie

Hi all,
Last Moto device I had was a Moto X 2014. I remember being able to say "okay Moto X, take a selfie" and it would launch the front camera and start a timer to take a pic.
When trying the same command with the Z, it just launches the camera app, rear facing at that.
Is there any way to change the result of the voice command you give? Or is this just something that needs ironing out through a software update?
Thanks

Google kept breaking Moto voice with its updates to Google app so Moto just changed it so that Moto voice only triggers Google. The end result it a faster less buggy trigger. Its better overall but you do lose Moto's supplemental voice commands such as "Take a Selfie"

[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.

Scheduler for moto screen "breathing" ?

Hey,
I noticed that the Moto G has a scheduler in the 'Moto' app, in the 'screen' menu options. I don't see it in my Z play. Do you guys have it?
Basically, it allows for a 'sleep time' where the phone stops checking for movement and doesn't wake the screen automatically. Quite handy.
I'm having trouble to understand why the Moto g would have it and not us.
Thanks for your insights !

Is the Moto g on nougat? Maybe it's coming for us? They updated the Moto G before Z Play because it's much more popular.

Not the Moto G I have, no, so it must be something else.

Which Moto g? 1st gen, 2nd get, 3rd gen, G4 play/plus?

G4, sorry. Not play, plus, just G4.

Like do not disturb under notifications?

Basically yes, except here it's for screen breathing, not notifications.

Using custom rom "one button navigation" on moto g5 plus

I wanted to go to Android 9 so installed Carbon 7.0 on my Motorola G5 Plus. I like it a lot but in stock Motorola (through the Moto App) I was able to use my fingerprint reader to do "one button navigation". I am not able to find how I can set this up under the custom rom. Does anyone have any experience or help in doing this? I turned on the gestures in the android settings but that just results on a pill on the bottom of my screen and would like to go back to using my fingerprint reader. Thanks for your help and if I am posting this incorrectly please let me know!

This forum is for Moto g5(Cedric) not for Moto g5+(potter) you can post your questions there. If you want finger print guester then you can get in the pixel experience ROM(potter), you just need to set how it works such as (right to left)recent and other functions to get it work.
