I bought a pair of Airpods specifically for my Pixel 2xl and have had zero problems with them. I do have an iPad that I used to set up gestures and I use AssistantTrigger to add a gesture for launching Assistant, which works quite well. You may be able to set the gesture commands from that app...

Wow, feels like forever since I've posted on XDA... Good to be back. Here's the thing, Android Messages is the default Google SMS/MMS client that has the potential fur RCS delivery depending on the carrier you are on. I doubt we see it ever get anything near iMessage capabilities. You're more...

Sorry if I wasn't clear. The XT1060 is the Verizon Moto X model number, the XT1050 is not. I believe the XT1050, which is used for regional carriers, has CDMA capabilities like the Verizon model (again, the XT1060). If it's still on 4.4.2, the Verizon model can be unlocked via Sunshine as well...

All Verizon LTE phones come SIM unlocked, meaning that they work fine on GSM carriers. The only problem that might show up is that LTE bands will likely not match, meaning the device is limited to HSPA+. As for which is easier to root, the Verizon one will not be easy to root unless it's a...

That's a feature that CM has added up the tree. Try pulling down from the middle and it should just be the notifications. It's a quick toggle pull from the right side and will probably in the future be optional (I assume that's how it worked in CM11, that you could turn it on/off and move it to...

I ran into this problem when I dirty flashed. With a wipe and a reinstall, it is working just fine for me now. I know it's a pain to wipe everything, but such is the life of a crack flasher.

If your bootloader is unlocked, yes, you can keep root, though you will need to the reflash supersu.zip (or have twrp automagically do it). Otherwise, no. There is no root available for unlocked 4.4.4. If you don't have an unlocked bootloader, check out the Sunshine thread in the general...

It's been noted a few times, but the fix is to toggle speaker phone on and off when you make or receive the call. That will fix it, but it must be performed on a per call basis.

As long as you don't flash the SBF or parts of the SBF for a version lower than what you are using, you will be fine. If you flash this ROM, make a backup first, since it is safe to restore the backup, since all you are really changing is the system.img. Again, as a safety precaution, either...

I think you misunderstand. The $25 unlock is a third-party exploit developed by JCase and a number of other talented developers. If you are on VZW, that is the only way to unlock, but it is far from official. Plus, it rarely works on 4.4.4 for the Moto X. I think most people would be ok if VZW...

I'm not sure the answer or a fix, but you may be better served checking out the Moto X (2014) forum. This forum is for the 2013 model and may not completely answer your question. Good luck, mate.

Safestrap is essentially just a workaround for phones with unlockable bootloaders. It provides the means to install custom ROMs in a secondary 'slot', though they still rely heavily on the main stock ROM; hence why KJ says that the ROMs have to be made for your device and confirmed to work with...

No. The developer preview is only for the Nexus 5 and 2013 Nexus 7. Your device and the image would not play nice and bad things would probably happen. Not even worth the risk of trying.

You won't be able to use the phone on your Verizon account. It wouldn't be provisioned correctly and there are no (legal) ways to convert a phone like that to run on Verizon. Even if you were trying for an LTE only device, I don't think the RW version has the correct bands to run on Verizon, if...

You can install the Google Now Launcher in the 2013 X, it just isn't installed by default. This is partially due to the fact that it only recently became available for all on the Play Store. I really think this is all a non-issue since it is available, it just isn't installed as the default as...

You absolutely CANNOT downgrade. Moto X support wouldn't say you can't if you really could. It has been documented extensively here on XDA. Even Googling 'Moto X Brick' will show you a lot of instances of what downgrading will do. samwathegreat and a lot of other highly regarded members here...

Yep. This method works just fine. I used it once I updated to 4.4.4 on VZW when it released.

No one know for sure, but the rumor is that the X+1 will be larger. That is still to be determined though. The current X is an excellent size though, and the red back with black buttons sounds pretty slick. As for your second question, I don't know if there is a thread specifically for...

Yeah, you may consider trying it again. I haven't had any issues. Make sure you have busybox installed and up to date, as that could cause some problems.

I haven't used Gravity Box for a while since I have been using ART, but I have used SoftKeyZ Root. I think it's like $1 in the Play Store (link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.janis605.softkeyz), but it provides a number of soft keys that people have uploaded that are...

Just a shot in the dark here, but did you check that your notification volume was up. It could be off/too low and that might cause the problem. If that's not it, you may need to do a full reset to fix it. Good luck!

Here are my impressions: 1. Battery life: I bought my Moto X after KitKat was released and have had up and down battery life. However, on 4.4.4, my battery has improved greatly. With a Maxx, your battery should still be good on 4.4.4, but I can't say for 100% sure, since I don't have that...

Being able to unlock the bootloader and root regardless of Android version is the major selling point for the dev edition over the retail/motomaker.

Exactly. It looks like samwathegreat should have you covered. He is an awesome asset to the community, so follow his directions and you will be good to go!

You are correct that they are Windows tools, but you can flash the FXZ manually using fastboot and mfastboot (one command requires mfastboot). Just don't run the command to erase user data, and you should be fine. Takes about 10 minutes to do.

Well thanks a lot for your help. Still a great resource. I will keep playing around with things and maybe get it to work. Thanks again!

Exactly. adb devices has been my test command. Yeah, I tried closing out the session, I logged off using the 'exit' command and quit Terminal. Just odd that it installs fine and shows up in /usr/bin, but I can't get it to work. I am running the beta of OS X Yosemite, but I doubt that would...

Thanks for looking into this for me. Yes, it did ask for my password. Here is what I get after running the installer: Jareds-MBP:ADBinstall Jared$ ./install.sh This will install ADB, Fastboot and mFastboot on your computer. Root Permissions required. Please type your password. Password...

Hey, thanks for creating this script. However, I am running into a problem. I run ./install.sh, it runs through the install text, but when I try to run an adb command to test it out, I get the following error: -bash: ./adb: No such file or directory. I went into /usr/bin/ and adb, fastboot and...

Exactly what KidJoe said. Check his guide linked in his signature, as it is extremely comprehensive. Read through it well. Specifically look at items #4 and #7 since they apply to what you are wanting to do.

I am assuming it's the XT1053, so: unlock the bootloader on Moto's site, flash TWRP, and reboot. That should prompt you to install SU and you will be rooted. You can check the stickies in the general thread for more detail.

So I just used the Mac toolkit that is posted in this developer thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/toolkit-moto-x-dev-edition-mac-osx-v2-02-t2666560. The creator doesn't support it anymore, but it comes with up to date adb, fastboot and mfastboot files that you can run...

A couple questions, have you tried going into Developer options and selected "Revoke USB debugging authorization" and then tried plugging it back into your computer? That might cause the prompt to come back. Also, am I right to assume that you are talking about connecting to the phone while you...

The problem with making it compatible with iOS is that it would need to hook into the notification system of iOS. I highly doubt that Apple makes those APIs available to the general public. Android Wear is basically an extension of notifications and would likely lose all but watch functionality...

I think he means wait until August. Not 8 months, rather 8th month (06 is June, 08 is August). Just a thought.

Thanks for clarifying that. I stand corrected. ;)

I would be wary using that method. Looking at the comments, one was posted before 4.4.2, 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 was released, so it is probably an older guide meant to be used with 4.4 only. The other comment (yeah, there are only two) asked if it works with 4.4.2, but no answer was given. Attempting...

This is the Play Store link for the app referenced in the article in the OP: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.shenye.android.inputmethod.latin Remember that you have to go into keyboard settings and select this keyboard for the input, and you have to go in to advanced...

Also, using safestrap takes up more space on your device, since you have an underlying core OS (as samwathegreat puts it), essentially meaning that you have two full ROMs on your phone. If you have the 16gb Moto X, that will suck up a good chunk of space (though that's not the end of the world)...

I'm having the same problem. I left a comment on the Play Store to see if that might elevate the issue. It's frustrating that it's been this way for almost a month now.

I was torn on what to get. Obviously the 360's design is fantastic. For a poor graduate student, though, it is going to (likely) be well above my price range at the moment. I have $150 from the recall of my FitBit Force and decided to go with the Gear Live because of the AMOLED screen and the...

If you download that Mac toolkit, it includes all of the developer tools that are needed to unlock/root/etc. That includes adb, fastboot and mfastboot. It's nice because it's all in the same location and you don't have to download the entire SDK.

I think they may have that information on the provider's website. You may want/need to plan ahead to determine what carriers are there (which you probably know already) and check out their sites, or you can probably Google '[Carrier Name] apn settings' and find it that way. I've never been in a...

Any Verizon LTE phone should automatically be sim unlocked without the bootloader being unlocked due to Block C agreements requiring Verizon to allow any compatible phone to use the network. Since LTE is basically the evolution of GSM, most (I won't say all, because there may be an exception)...

I don't know of anyone on here who has gotten any spam using the PayPal method with the Chinese guy. If you don't have an unlockable version or a dev version, it will likely be the only possibility ever. Motorola have locked these things down tight.

If your Moto X was built in 2014 this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/china-middleman-t2751177) can give you information on who to contact to unlock the bootloader and thus open up the possibility for root. It'll run you $45, but if you are really committed to root, that's...

I think the rep told you wrong. According to this link (found on the page that you linked under the "Find Your Device" section) https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215, it only works with the Verizon Dev Edition. You can give it a go, but it will probably reject...

Kind of following what KidJoe said, you can use mfastboot that's included in the zip. You are correct though, it is a toolbox built for an unlocked bootloader, so most of it won't work. I just know the mfastboot is in the zip and has worked for me to flash twrp. Sorry I wasn't very clear about...

Under the Development thread there is a Mac Toolkit. The guy who made it isn't supporting it anymore, but it includes mfastboot. You can manually flash the files with it. I haven't searched for the exact commands, but they should be easily procurable via a quick search.

If it was from Sprint, it may be a different story. If you got the new one from them, you are probably fine.
