Coming from Motorola: Moto like features on OPO?

Unfortunately my moto X 2014 died, and its not in my budget to buy a new moto device right now (the additional cost of paying 20 for mofo to root, and 25 for sunshine to unlock bootloader also grates on my nerves).

I got a OPO instead off swappa within my budget, but i know I am going to miss some of the moto features. However, I know the opo is pretty adaptable too, and I was wondering what comparable features might be available either via ROM/mod/etc for the below.

1) Moto voice = screen off google now, without being plugged in. So i can say "ok google now" at any point, and my phone will light up and listen. I use this to find the phone when ive lost it around the house, when driving, etc. I use it at least 10X a day.

2) Quick gestures: The wrist flip to activate camera on moto is awesome, gets you into camera very fast from any state. Any similar feature, or perhaps knock code to jump right into camera? Physical button mapping?

3) Same as 2, but for turn on flashlight.

4) Active display.... this one, im probably going to lose with the screen not being oled. Any quick way to see my notifications without turning the phone all the way on?

5.1.1, some features are very laggy (phone, clock, notifications), why?

Hello guys,

I hope you can help me with this so please, read on. I am trying out 5.1.1 (CM 12.1) for a few weeks but I can't shake the feeling that something is wrong in my particular case.

I am running this version of CM12.1. No custom kernels, no kernel editing at all. I am running Nova Launcher. I have a 64GB external microSD card, which is half full and my internal storage has 3.8 GB of space left.

My issues are with the responsiveness. For example I have issues taking calls. It goes like this, if the screen is off (phone locked):
-caller hears one or sometimes even two rings
-my phone starts vibrating
-after one second or so my phone starts actually "ringing" with sound
-after two-three seconds the screen goes on and I am able to take the call
By that time the caller already has heard four or five rings and after the sixth one the mailbox kicks in. This is terrible. If the screen is on, the issue is nearly gone, since the phone is much more responsive.
My buddy's HTC ONE vibrates, rings and enables screen INSTANTLY when a call comes in. Yes, he has a stronger phone but I'd think the most basic function would always work.

I get similiar issues with timers, notifications etc. They feel "delayed", first the vibration, then the sound, then the screen. Looking at a black screen for 5 seconds while the timer is beeping crazy is not very nice.

The phone feels fine otherwise, some apps (Open Camera) take long to open up but I guess that's just the old age of the hardware. My main problems are with the core functions (phone...).

I like lollipop, especially ART, but I am thinking of going back to CM11, since it felt a bit more responsive and I had no troubles getting calls.

I am glad about any help I can get. Thanks in advance guys. XDA rocks.:fingers-crossed:

LG G4 Missing Features? Verizon Variant Only?

It seems the Verizon Variant lost some great stock features, http://www.androidcentral.com/here-a...er-variants-do

Since there is Root available now, has anyone found a way to install these missing features? I would really like Themes, Smart Settings, Custom Lockscreen, and LG Smart World. Cant see why Verizon would take out such basic and standard features? Not like Verizon is selling lock screens and themes, lol!

Note 5 spen features for note 4 5.1.1

I am on 5.1.1 COH4 and it's running mote stable, faster, snappier and just everything is so much better then the old versions of android so why are people still stuck in the old versions and developing???

Why isn't some Developer or anyone with the knowhow porting the note 5 spen to note 4 5.1.1 COH4 ?

There must be some of these people using 5.1.1 ?

Also is anyone working on porting note 5 rom over ?

I am willing to be a test subject if needed...

Comparison of ROMs and features

Whilst I am so glad to see a lot more ROMs (particularly Lollipop) being released here for the S3 Lte - I am often at a loss to know which ROM does what - e.g. what features each ROM has. I am not a very frequent flasher (sounded pretty nasty) and would appreciate it if any of you guys and girls who test and try out the latest ROMs could give their opinions on ROMs - I know this is a big ask.

All I really know at the moment is that Slim Rom lollipop is a light ROM with a lot of the bloat gone.

Thanks in advance.

:cool:

Greenify extra features

Hi,
Just a few ideas for some extended options (if possible):

*GCM push on per-app basis
*Disable Greenify when phone is on charge (i.e. let stuff sync overnight when on charge) - maybe done automatically? not sure

Thanks!

Need help restoring features.

So today, I installed the Noble ROM to my phone but for whatever reason I lost 2 features that I use quite a bit: Fingerprint scanner and Private mode.

When I try to set Fingerprints, it tells me there is an error with the scanner and to restart.
I have tried restarting, wiping the cache, even a complete reset and it still doesn't work.

When I try to enable Private mode, it tells me that it failed to enable. I tried clearing the data via Titanium but it still doesn't work.
I'm running the Canadian variant (SM-G920W8).

Wondering if there are any specific fixes to these issues, or how I can reinstall the stock ROM. When I tried flashing the stock firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...mware-t3086387 it gave me an error (tried TWRP and Odin)

[Q] TW features to keep and remove, xposed?

N910F. After playing around with a TW ROM, I've decided I need Xposed. I miss the customisation that was possible.

There are also a few features I don't like about TW:

* the S finder notification bar
* the quick settings bar
* large fonts in several areas (despite setting font size to tiny)
* bright colours etc.

... but I would like to keep the multi window facility from TW.

* Would it be possible to remove these features from a TW ROM using Xposed? Or add multi window to an AOSP ROM?
* Do I need a deodexed TW ROM for Xposed? Anyone got this working or is it still buggy?

Galaxy Tab S2 4G LTE Unboxing Review with Phone features

Testing out the Galaxy Tab S2 4G LTE version. So far I will be keeping the Tab S2! I wasn't going to upgrade from my Tab S, but after these last two days of using it on the road, it is a premium tablet! Samsung has come a long way from previous builds, not that I didn't like them just has stepped up.
Here is a look at the Galaxy Tab S2 4G LTE, it is a bit long as I was testing out the 4G LTE with Verizon SIM and AT&T. Also some web browsing and overall look.

Why do carriers block features?

Sometimes the answer to this question is obvious. Verizon blocking google wallet was clearly so they could force people to use their own wallet app, whatever the hell it was. What I want to know is why on my AT&T Note 5 I don't have Auto Restart or Smart Manager. Both very useful features I would love to have, blocked by my carrier. How do either of these features effect AT&T? I'm sure there is plenty more blocked that I just don't know about.

Does anyone have any insight as to a logical reason a service provider would want to block stuff like this?

Here is a link to the video where I discovered these missing features:

Please excuse how boring the guy talking is.

Camera features: Support for long exposures?

I haven't seen any in depth reviews of the new camera app so I thought I'd place the question here: How much manual control does the app allow? I'm interested in doing long exposures in the range of 15 to 30 seconds.

I plan to use a tripod or similar device and I've read in the manual that the app has a shutter release timer, but the manual doesn't say what the shutter speed range is... Can someone with the phone please report back here??

Thanks in advance,
F

Missing S-Pen Features?

Trying to use selective text/ photo whatever it's called. On note 4 I could select a group of words from a picture, post etc. and after selecting a T would pop up if I wanted to extract the text and allow me to copy to clipboard. Is this gone or am I just overlooking it. If they took this away that's bs [emoji35]

Need some help with Note 5 lack of features is it fixable??

Hi I am coming form a heavily used Note 2. As a business owner the Note 2 was my most important piece of equipment!!! Plus being always on the go it's flash video capabilities made being away from home easy. I never missed a basketball game or big fight. Watched them right on my phone. I remember being at a restaurant one Saturday night away from home and having the whole bar area crowd around my phone to watch a big fight. Pretty cool and useful. Unfortunately my Note 2 bit the dust and cant be fixed for reasonable money. Sprint store talked me into a Note 5 for my upgrade and contract renewal with a cheaper plan.

I was wondering if there are any ways to get similar apps or mods on my Note 5 Without rooting it. I am very dissapointed and feel like taking it back. Not impressed at all. Especially since I am out of pocket 0 and had to sign a 2 year plan. Maybe somebody can help or suggest some things. Or at least this can be a WARNING to potential buyers of the phones REAL LIFE CAPABILITIES AND LIMITS. Not some generic commercial hype or store sales pitch of since its a #5 it is better and does more things than the earlier numbered phones.

1. No live sports or new movie streams though web browsers
Lack of flash support ... I used flash websites to stream live sports or newer movies on my Note 2. I have downloaded the proper Adobe Flash version on the Note 5. I have also downloaded and enabled browsers like Firefox, Flash Fox, and Dolphin.
I have verified that flash is working. However, the sites for the live sports and movies DO NOT work. These sites all worked fine with the Note 2 stock browser.... Any other flash browser suggestions???? Anyway to download or install the Note 2 stock browser on Note 5?????

2. Mirroring. Watching EXACTLY what you see on your phone to a big TV.
All share Samsung data caster. I bought an expensive Samsung data caster that worked well to mirror my phone on to my living room TV.....Anyway to use this with my Note 5????? I don't see the option to on the phone.
Will a MHL cord to hdmi still mirror for a note 5??????

3. Using your internet and making a phone call at the same time.
Since I travel I use my phone as a modem for my laptop and computers....Tether... On my Note 2 with the PDA.net app it worked great. Was faster than any home internet I ever had. I could be on the phone and be browsing the web on my computer at the same time. It worked so well I cancelled my home ISP. It also came in handy even to just look things up on the phones internet while you were talking to clients.... I was VERY UPSET to find out that I can not do any of this on the Note 5. This is a major deal. I don't get this one at all. Any way to fix???????

4. Sound for music is not anything better.

5. Notifications and display are far less attention grabbing than on the Note 2. Easily miss texts or overlook them. The notification L.E.D.S are super WEAK.

6. My battery drains way faster! It does charge faster though. But I don't think this will be a good device to have where charging is not an option for a while.

7. You cant delete photos from the gallery... You have to open up the camera app to delete them... This seems so strange and pointless. Am I missing something here??????

Would appreciate any help or feedback on these issues. Thanks...

Moto features on other ROMs

GUI and other features

I wonder how the features of the actual router will be?

How will the web interface be?

I honestly don't care much for Wireless, But my actual internet performance and reliability. Along with a good upload QoS which even ASUS has messed up. It gets released on my birthday, but I`ll see how it plays out first. Either this or a Fresh pfsesne box will replace my R6300V2.



Also a small tid bit: One of my videos almost made the commercial :D got an email from Google and everything. But sadly I guess they decided against it. It was a 5 year old video after all and quality was pretty bad.

Edge+ with s-pen features

Hi,

I can't make up my mind about buying the note 5 or edge+, i wanted the edge+ design with the s-pen but samsung tried to reach a larger audience and as you know it wasn't an option. Do anyone know a way to get the the s-pen features on the edge+?
