[Q] Custom ROMs - Will we be able to play around with Touchless Control?

[JohnnyCherries]

Since the Moto X and other recent Droids are available for root now, I'm wondering: will hackers be able to modify Touchless Control settings? Or is that a closed source part of Android that no one can touch except for Motorola?

Or at least, will we be able to write code that's specifically for the context and voice processors that are unique to the new Motorola phones?

I've never hacked around with Android ROMs but it seems to me that the addition of these processors could mean a playground with a lot of potential to hackers. Wouldn't mind taking a stab at it myself

It likely won't be possible. The best we may get is to at least be able to take the custom touchless binaries and compile them into a custom ROM so that we get all the benefits of stock x8 functions in custom ROMs. But I doubtthat code will be released fforttweaking. Compile the binaries is the most I'd expect which is enough for me, but we may not even get that.
