*I am not sure if the new Moto G4 actions works for other Moto models, but I think these actions are not tied to specific new sensors, so it should work... you do need the Virtual Lift Sensor for the Lift for Moto Voice however...

Works in cyanogend mod 13?
Very nice. Working on the VZW Stock MM Rom
Small thing I noticed in the directions:
Edit the permissions to be 0644 (rw-r---r---)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
octet 0644 corresponds to
Code:
(rw-[B]r--r--[/B])
which is only 2 dashes following each of the 'r's, atleast as displayed in RootExplorer app.
Not sure if there's an error in the instructions or a difference in the way RootExplorer shows the number of dashes. But either way, permission 0644, is the correct setting.
Do you have a bitcoin address that you accept donations at?
Thanks for bringing the Moto app updates!
Cheers.
Edit - Also, how will the Play Store react if Moto should ever update these apps? Will it recognize a new Moto version is released etc or will I need to keep an eye out on the forums/reddit etc?

That's probably my bad in the instructions, I'll update it, thanks
I don't have an easy way to translate bitcoin to cash... otherwise I would have something set up, I have a bitcoin wallet, but I don't really have much in it
It should recognize that a new version is released, then it will upgrade and put the new version in the data folder, then I would have to update that one and you can either put it in the data or system folder after it's all said and done...
MotoActions was updated to 02.037.02.
I modified the apk to enable the new Moto G4 actions and replaced the icon of Attentive Display.
Replace the file in /system/priv-app/MotoActions folder (delete the oat folder)
Edit the permissions to 0644 (rw-r--r--)
Reboot and done
PS: I'll try enable gesture Raise to ear soon.

Cool, what I wanted to try was installing it as a regular app, since it has the signatures for a regular app, this would allow it to work for anyone, even if they don't have root access

It would be nice but this is not possible.
Even keeping the signature, the application has been modified and not have the same integrity.
Only with root to be able to change the application.
And I finally enable gesture Raise to ear.
I will attach here the apk modified to replace manually and also a zip file for those who want to install easier way via TWRP.

Would it allow the app to be installed in the data partition instead? Potentially making it so someone can take an OTA update even if they are systemless rooted? I think that would be the best compromise
I added the TWRP package to the OP and gave you credit too!
I'll go ahead and create an uninstaller TWRP package for people needing to go back to stock for any reason...

That functionality was specifically made for the G4, so I wouldn't be surprised if you have to "train" it over time or if it need some more tweaks to get it running fine, just keep trying!

Hi Folks,
I created this mod for the Galaxy S4 I9505, However I think this mod would work on AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 as it running the same spec phone.
Could an experienced user test this mod and report back if it works, if not if they can upload the nfcnci.apk I will see if I can get the mod working on AT&T.
Before running the program please ensure you have a backup of nfcnci.apk and nfcnci.odex (if the file exists) depnending upon if your rom is odex or deodex just in case the mod does not work.
Now for the Mod
Lockscreen What this does is allows you to use nfc when the screen is on and in a locked status.
Screen Off Allows the use of NFC when the screen is off.
By default NFC only works when the phone screen is on and unlocked. (Suspect always had problem on this one as previously stated)
any feedback appreciated.
Remember to backup before flashing. for that just it case situation.
Enjoy Optimal
p.s. remember people that leaving the NFC on all the time can leave you phone open to security breaches. so please be careful when using this mod.
I can report that screen off mod works. Going to try lockscreen next. Dont know how i feel about NFC being on when screen is off.

thanks @DJsCrIBbLe for testing. In terms of screen off version it will be a security risk, However a number of users have requested it. I suppose they will just need to ensure they take all relevant security precautions. and protection of there phone
Because NFC can be breached and could cause all sorts of issues and hacks.
anyway thanks for testing its much appreciated.

Lock screen works too

Do you have the stock NFC version of this mod?
I bricked my GS4 i337's Google Wallet. Everything on my phone works, but I can't get into the Google Wallet App because it requires NFC and the toggle doesn't work anymore. I want to install a new ROM and/or use the current one WITH Google Wallet, but I can access it. Do you have a "revert to stock" version of the NFC mod for the i337?
Can anyone send me a copy of the two original files for the i337 nfcnci.odex and nfcnci.apk and tell me how I revert back?
Please help.

So neither of these mods worked for me. I'm stock SGH-I337M odex. I still have my regular nfc functionality but it's not working with screen off or at lock screen.

Any possible way you could take the Google Wallet modified files, make the edits, and post these? Would be handy for those with the Google Wallet mod.

The mod involves the following things:
Install Xposed Mod
Install Wallet Xposed module (hides root and phone model from Wallet's built-in search) and enable the module
Edit /system/build.prop to fool Wallet into thinking it's a Galaxy Nexus
Stop the system
Replace /system/app/NfcNci.apk
(Remove /system/app/NfcNci.odex)
Replace /system/app/NfcTest.apk
(Remove /system/app/NfcTest.odex)
Replace /system/etc/nfcee_access.xml
Replace /system/lib/libnfc-nci.so
Replace /system/lib/libnfc_nci_jni.so
Replace /system/lib/hw/nfc_nci.MSM8960.so
Clear dalvik cache
Reboot
Setup Google Wallet as you would normally. Get it completely initialized.
Restore build.prop to normal settings
Reboot
The original post includes two different methods of doing this, and I think both involve flashing a zip file from recovery. I don't like flashing zips like that, so I disassembled it and came up with the procedure above. ^_^

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.

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 I downloaded the correct one but when I connected my maxx to the computer it showed xt1053 for the sdcard. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah figured it was something like that it's no big deal like I posted there is a work around to get it to work and still keep the recent apps button. I would rather have that then the menu button.
Has anyone gotten Gravitybox LP version to work on Moto X 2014? I tried and I got caught in a bootloop
Update: If you are caught in a bootloop and can get into Recovery use one of these options to remove Gravitybox:
Option 1: The Gravitybox folder is in /data/data/com.ceco.lollipop.gravitybox
Option 2: If you can get to command console to access this folder you cant delete it.
So, assuming you have TWRP you can delete the folder with Advanced->Console->
Code: rm -R com.ceco.lollipop.gravitybox
Thank you @sk8darr
Option 3: I also discovered if you go to Wipe in TWRP>Advanced>Fix system;This is will also fix it but it will also break the Xposed Framework installation
I got bootloop too... I had to go to TWRP file manager and delete the gravitybox apk manually and problem fixed

Same here.
Gravity Box LP is still in alpha stage.
Soon the developer solves that.

Yeah, it actually messed me up real good. Had to do a whole wipe on my phone to get back to stock, then had to re-root after all was fixed. Major headache !

Note: This root method works on other LG Phones, but this thread is to focus only on the LS660/F60. Thanks.
Also I'll add some of my findings for the LG Tribute that might of got lost in the other thread while we wait for questions.
Agreed.
Sent From This RIDICULOUS LG TRIBUTE
I'll Add Some Of My Findings Here As Well...
Camera sounds annoy me and I couldn't find any tweak, app, or anything to disable them on the LG's Camera, so I figured it out myself. I have wrote a guide and included a .zip with the files you need to switch.
- How to disable your LG Camera Sounds -
Found by high247 of XDA-Developers for the Virgin Mobile LG Tribute LG660.
-# 01. You are going to need to be ROOTED on your phone and have a Root Explorer. I personally use Root Browser from the Play Store.
And you'll need the .ogg files from this .zip file.
I've you are not ROOTED please check Unjustified Dev's guide here on how to do so.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
-# 02. First move the .ogg files from this .zip to your phones SDcard.
cam_snap_0.ogg
camera_click.ogg
camstart.ogg
camstop.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
(I've included backups of all the orginal .ogg's in Backup-ogg in the .zip. Just delete the .bak off the end and they are the orginal files in case you want to switch back.)
-# 03. Ok now on to disableing the sounds on your phones Camera (For whatever reasons you might what to do so. For me, they just annoy me)
Open your Root Explorer and go to your SDcard and multi-copy the .ogg's you put there.
Now navigate to System folder, click that,
now locate the Media folder, click that,
now locate the Audio folder, click that,
now locate the UI folder, click that, then once inside the UI folder click PASTE to copy the files there. It might be useful to delete the old ones before hand.
-# 04. Almost done, now you have to change the to .ogg file permissions to 0644 rw-r--r--
(If your not good with permissions, when you select permissions just make sure Read is checked in every box and Write is only checked on Owner, everything else unchecked.)
-# 05. ALL DONE. No need to reboot or anything, just go to your Camera and see that the annoying sounds are gone.
ENJOY!

We need more detailed information to help, how did you get stuck for one?
I got the update for my Tribute and like a idiot I tried to install it but it just keeps booting into TWRP, I wiped the phone and than I restored a backup from my SD card that I had but it still reboots to TWRP, the backup installed successfully but it just keeps booting to TWRP, any ideas how to fix this? The backup has the TWRP recovery and root. I also tied the new rom and it still boots to TWRP.
What to Change that ugly color on your default LG Messaging App?
You need to install Xposed Framework on your rooted LS660/F60
1. Here is the Xposed Framework installer you need for G3 Tweakbox to work: http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk
2. Now download G3 Tweakbox from the Play Store and install it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...weaksbox&hl=en
3. Open Xposed Framework installer make sure the Xposed Framework is installed up to date and and then make sure you check the module for G3 Tweakbox and reboot your device before anything will work.
4. Now open G3 Tweakbox app, go to Messaging, scroll all the way to the bottom and you can change the color.
5. After you make changes Reboot your phone for them to take full effect. My messaging app now is Black.
And in this post I show what else I found that worked with G3 Tweakbox on the LS660, even some pictures : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59451127&postcount=766
NOTE: Not all tweak work. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

You were on ZV4 right? I believe you have to flash the boot.img for ZV4 from TWRP and that will fix it. You might have to flash from fastboot though I forget, its almost 3am here and its been a long day.
Extract the boot.img from this .zip and try that.
Ok so for whatever reason I just could not get the damn OTA updates to stop re-downloading, even after doing what cpshelley2 said to do. My problem was update.zip kept re-downloading to /cache/ and then the notification would pop up to install. I ran the adb command cpshelley2 suggested and turned OTA off, made sure the update.zip was deleted, long pressed the notification clicked app info went to manager cleared all.
And it would just keep downloading over and over again, giving me the notification to install over and over again, so what I found was apps named Disable Service and Autorun Manager on the play store, they are free and for root, that fixed this for me.
DisableSevice Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice&hl=en
AutorunManager Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun&hl=en
**WARNING DO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARE CHECKING AND UNCHECKING IN THESE PROGRAMS YOU COULD MESS SOMETHING UP!***
Open the Disable Services app, click where it says System near the top, then scroll down to Google Play services, click it, now scroll down almost all the way near the bottom and find SystemUpdateService then uncheck it will turn red.
Now open Autorun Manager and select Advance Mode, then in the top right click Settings, make sure Show System Entries and Enable System App Disable are both Checked, now find Google Play Services, click it to see a list of receivers, scroll down til you find com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver and com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver and com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$SecertCodeReceiver ,then un-check them.
Now your done.
Reboot phone and update.zip will stop downloading in /cache/ (**delete it one last time if it is there still**) and you will stop being notified about the ZV5 update.
Hope that helps someone else too. Any questions feel free to ask and remember I'm on the LG LS660 Virgin Mobile.
Hidden Custom Lock Screen Wallpaper Feature
Oh and I have found how to make custom lock screens for everyone else with the LG Tribute, its hidden in the Photos app, download or take whatever picture, open it in Photos, click the 3 dots in the top right bringing down a menu, click Set as.. click More.. Set as Lock screen wallpaper. Crop and set!
Took me forever to find that. Could not find any info anywhere on the internet. lol
Hope that helps someone else too!
Hidden Menu
Dial this number below.
5689#*660#
That unlocks the Hidden Menu.
If you Dial ##3424# it will ask you for a Six Digit Service Code or known as a MSL Service Code. ( No known working codes have been found as of this posting. )
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
How to Access the Sprint OMADM Hidden Menu, No Root Needed.
Download Activity Launcher from the play store.
Open Activity Launcher and at the top click on Recent Activities at the top and switch it to All Activities... Once you did that scroll all the way down the list to Software Updates and click on it... A list will appear showing all the activities it does... Scroll down to Sprint OMADM Hidden Menu, there are 3 you can access though 4 say Sprint OMADMA Hidden Menu.
One will let you change the carrier branding.
Hope that helps you and let us know what happens if you try it please.
NOTE: You can Edit Chameleon Node options in the Sprint OMADM Hidden Menu com.lge.lgdmsclient.ui.test.SPROmadmHiddenMenu such as "Brand Name" in Edit Chameleon Node... Click it... Then click GET... If you have Virgin Mobile that should pop up under Brand Name... Click it and edit to say what you want... Then click SET and reboot phone to take effect.
CHANGE SETTINGS ATE YOUR OWN RISK AND NEVER FACTORY RESET OUTSIDE OF YOUR DEFAULT BRANDING OPTION.
And that my friends is mostly what I have found so far for our phones that are useful.
Now any questions feel free to ask and I'll answer ASAP. 3am here so I'm off to bed now. Night my friends.

Introduction:
As we all know, the A2017U, and G come bundled with a few themes and that's it. Well, the Axon 7, Chinese variant, not only includes more, but also a theme store that you can download from. This thread contains packages from the Chinese ROM that will enable your phone to use the theme store with a small caveat--you have to register for a ZTE Account (more on that below) and log in to it in order to download themes. ZTE's theme engine is pretty basic and doesn't really allow for much customization, but anything is a welcome addition to what we currently have.
What ZTE's theme solution does:
-Changes Icons
-Changes wallpaper
-Basic color schemes for settings, and some ZTE apps
-Changes Lockscreen appearance
Procedure
First, you'll need to register an account here. It is all in Chinese, so I would suggest using Google Translate so that you can understand what you're doing. You'll need to click the "email registered" tab because registering with your phone number will not work. Once you have registered and validated your account, you can use it to log in to the theme store on your phone and begin downloading themes.
Current issues
ZTE's dynamic lock screen doesn't allow you to swipe to unlock your phone when you have notifications and they're visible. What you'll need to do is to tap the "bell" icon to hide your notifications in order to swipe to unlock. Fingerprints bypass this. I'm sure someone talented can decompile the two lock screen apps and figure out how to change this. I won't be doing it.
Download: ZTE-A2017-ThemeStoreMOD-by-freeza_DrakenFX
This flashable will include the following:
ZTE Account
Theme Store
Lock Screen Framework
ZTE Lock Now
app permissions whitelist so these apps should automatically be granted the proper permissions
Thanks
DrakenFX for being awesome, giving me the idea to try this, and giving me the ZTE Account registration link.
Great work! I know this a stretch but wondering if this works on LOS or RR?
EDIT: Finally tried it on RR. It didn't work. Guess it's only for stock atm.
So this way you can get the stock theme on the European model?

I guess there isn't a stock theme in there, but maybe there is. Could someone confirm?
All I want is a ZIP that gives me a dark theme for apps like Settings. I don't really want to install all this just to get access to a theme store that may or may not have a dark theme. If anybody spots one in there and can make a ZIP out of it, I'll be eternally grateful.
Sorry for the noob question, but how do I install this?
@freeza, is this a lock screen, could you share the theme name to download.
@freeza it's ok on A2017U 7.0, but seem not work well on A2017U 7.1.1 .
@freeza
How to flash this on stock 7.1.1

Were you rooted? or which variant are you? IF you can give a little more info, it wont be so hard to help
I registered with email, but logging in, in the app, only allows logging in with a phone number. What?
Edit: Nevermind, tapping "others" in the bottom left allows logging in by email.
Edit 2: And am I just doing something wrong, or do the icon packs not work? I thought it might just be an issue with Nova Launcher, but the icon themes don't seem to work on the stock launcher either.
Edit 3: I just noticed there's an app called Screen Lock installed now (which does exactly what it's name says) did that come as a part of this installer?

After I applied the theme

Is there a way to uninstall after flashing? I only installed it to see if I could figure out where the image for the clear view background (for axon 7 clearview windowed case) is stored. It didn't help me figure it out, so I was wondering if I can uninstall it. Thanks.

There's other ways, Im just not sure what's in the zip. You can check what's in the zip, what gets flashed to your system and then use root explorer or something similar to manually delete the apk/files that were flashed. Be careful though. Definitely backup before you do that.
