RECENT APPS:
Some of you may notice the recent apps button re-mapped as menu. This is due to a conflict between disabling the virtual keys and displaying the Menu. If you would like to revert this change, flash the "Recent Apps" patch in recovery. Be aware that if reverted, some apps might not display the menu button.

Circle Widget:
As you know, the Moto X does not have the Droid Circle Widgets from factory. If you would like to flash the widget, simply flash the Circle widget patch from the patches folder of the package. Credit to @CornholioGSM for the source from the Photon. Needed editing and updating to work with the Droid Maxx port.

Does this erase my SD card or does your XML script have save data. If not let everyone know to backup pictures music etc. This is basically an fxz file right.

It is a save data script.

Ok brother rebootinig now then just have to apply the zips hey does this have the power menu mod for reboot etc. and if not do you know how to make one for the life of me I can't get apktool to recompile the framework. Hey I thought this was from the xt1060 it says xt1053. Also I think you can change the device name in the build prop to see this as an xt1080 I change mine to samsung to use miilk music and the play store sees it as a samsung.

It is from the xt1060. My 4.4.3 port is the xt1053. You download the right one? Lol. It does not have the reboot mod. I can do some research and make a patch for it. Been running this port for over 24 hours now. Smoothhhhhhhh

I edited the build.prop to reflect 1080 but can't get it to report as 1080 when plugged into to the computer. Will research further.

Ok can check and see if you have an option for setting in google now. When I open the app the 3 dots to get into settings is not there also you cant launch google search just by saying "ok google" from the home screen you have to open the app.

Yeah that's a compatibility issue. Working on a patch for that. For now just use the recent apps button as the menu button. Should be set like that after the display patch.

Didn't try the google now thing.

Caseyk621 said:

To get the circles to work did you just transplant Motlauncher from the 1080? Or did you modify the app? I ask because I want to be able to use TiB to restore all my stuff. Home screens are really time consuming to set up his I like. And time setting everything back up is holding me back atm

I had to transfer permissions and lib files etc. Do this. Flash the port. Flash the display fix. Flash the circle widget. Then go to TiBu and restore data only to the launcher. That should yield the result you want. Again data only.

Now it says droid maxx I don't care as long as everything works and is seems to be all good except the google now.

Is the google thing present in the maxx firmware aswell?

bigv5150 said:

Well I found a work around I downloaded the google launcher it gave me the 3 dots to get into settings by sliding to the left screen that has google now on it. then search for google everywhere from that screen (you need to do this to get the option) and then open the settings. Click on voice and select ok google detection from there choose any screen. you will be able to now launch google even when using mot launcher. However there is still no menu in the google now app. And to answer your question yes this worked on the maxx 4.4.4. This is not a big issue I never change anything in google now and if I need to I just will change to the google launcher if I need to make any changes then switch back to the motlauncher so dont' kill yourself finding a fix it is not necessary.

Big, the recent apps button is the menu button. If you hit it, the menu pops up. That is unless you flashed the recent apps patch.

bigv5150 said:

I think you misunderstood me not the recent apps button that works fine I flashed the zip. If you open the google now app there is option for settings at the bottom of the page. There should be 3 dots so you can add or delete cards that you wish to pop up in google now. The only way to access that is through the google launcher now. Why I have no idea.

Its a compatibility issue. If you revert the recent apps button back to menu, you'll be able to access the menu anytime you tap that button. That's how I have mine set up.

Thats the way it was back in the droid RAZR/bionic days when we actually had menu buttons.
