Hi guys,
On my old Samsung I could flip the phone over to mute an incoming call.
I'd like to be able to do this on my N5.
Is there a way please?
I'm probably going to root this weekend if that helps.
I've searched this but can't come up with much.

Type in "Flip to Silent" or "Flip to Mute" in the Play Store and you should see a bunch of apps pop up. I don't know if any of them work with our phone but its worth a try.
Good luck and be sure to report if any of them work so you can help the next user that may have the same question.

I downloaded "flipservice" but nobody has called me. Reviews on Play seem good.
I've since downloaded Gravity Box on Exposed Modules so shall now uninstall "flipservice".

Unless you call yourself on a house phone or a friend's/family member's phone. Even though I never use features like that, I'm eager to know if it works. Its always nice to have options.

I was wondering if any developers would be willing to look in to the Moto Assist app, I know there's a few of us that would like to be able to toggle the driving functionality on and off at will.
I work from home programming, so it's great to be able to just vocally tell my phone to read me texts, or answer calls... but then I'd like to be able to turn it off when I go out to dinner haha. I've already tried work-arounds like forcing car mode on, or downloading other apps. Nothing works as well as the stock Moto Assist app, but unfortunately it only works when I'm driving, it must pull from the GPS.
Anyway, if someone could look into this that would be awesome, it's a bit beyond my ability regrettably. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
Like being able to say.. "okay Google now. Turn on moto assist"

New finding in SmartActionsHanashi.apk ... there's a service com.motorola.hanashi.CommunicationMediatorService (my guess on which service it is) and I think (I dont do much reverse engineering) we just need an app to activate the service after we edit the SmartActionsHanashi.apk to make the service exported (it is false ATM)...
I would try it myself but with no root I cant reinstall the SmartActionsHanashi.apk
Edit like 4
SmartActionsHanashi.apk also has all of the right resources. so i am 90% sure that this is the apk we are looking for.
If anyone would like to try my idea PM me, you WILL need root.

In all fairness, it's a completely different situation. I know with my Droid DNA it took MONTHS to see anything other than slightly modded stock ROMs.
I'm sure the Moto X community will pick up in the next few months but that being said i'll probably get a Nexus 5 to satisfy my urges.

New development assist app uses new modified smart actions app and there are rules in here that correspond to assist actions but using the ones they have all I can do is confuse the phone..... There are also strange actions that don't do anything except if in the driving sleeping meeting actions ....in the pictures I'm sitting at my desk but in the status bar you can see I'm "driving" but no texts are read and music didn't start either....

Edit the command i got to open the assist engine is
adb shell
su? idk i just used it
[email protected]:/ # am start com.motorola.contextual.smartrules2/.app.AboutActivity
AOV is Touchless Controls
I believe LED is Active Notification
use with caution i probably messed up my assist just now
Is anyone still working on this by chance? The only thing about my Moto X that I wish was different is having the ability to switch having the phone read my texts aloud on and off at will. I'm surprised that such a useful feature is limited to only driving when there are so many situations where it would be useful. Being able to do this without needing root access would be ideal.
This would be very useful and definitely be awesome for a work environment.
I am going to try and do it again. I have some new ideas on how to do it!
Will post in here and make a new thread if profit is achieved :fingers-crossed:
I would defiantly donate $10 for this.

Google have blocked access to it in 4.4 so the built-in app is no longer available.
Coming from CM10.2 I was hoping to at least be able to use this with my N5, but alas it's not so .

I believe they blocked the APIs used by the permissions editor which is why it crashes - but I'm struggling to find the reference I read that had this info.......

One of the best features ever introduced to android and they remove it. Might even downgrade my N7 because of this.

I downgraded my N4 back to 4.3. Disabling app ops is terrible. Even apple has this feature: iOS alerts you if any app wants to access your contacts, or your photos, or your camera, and you have a choice to allow or not. Android 4.3 does not alert you, but at least you have the option to dig into the App Ops and revoke access to certain things. 4.4 is the first time an android upgrade dissapointed me (they destroyed the alarm app, the keyboard, the wifi indicator's activity/internet access, and App Ops).
App ops was never an official feature, so they technically didn't remove anything.

I'm with you on the users defending Google like the can do no wrong, but definitely disagree about the YouTube g+ integration... They needed to clean YouTube up, and now I can see friend's comments on videos more easily and only view the comments and responses of certain people... That was a good idea..
I think Google is completely wrong by blocking this app ops function, if that's what happened here...

Ok, any idea how to sort the list of apps in app ops?
Let me start off by saying that I love and am thankful for all the hard work that developers put in to make awesome Roms. I've been rooting and flashing custom Roms since DAY 1 and enjoy it. But I've been noticing that when I flash a custom ROM its an upgrade for custom ability but a major downgrade in performance. For instance mobile data signal. Seems to get a lot slower than stock meaning OUT THE BOX. I've done comparisons in data using stock OUT THE BOX and all different custom roms and WOW what a big difference. Next is streaming videos. I noticed that OUT THE BOX I get that beautiful 1080p crispy no stutter image. Now when I root and flash a custom ROM the quality is NOT the same. Installing apps. Again OUT THE BOX stock installs apps from the play store way faster than when I'm running on a custom ROM. Sorry to say but I'm writing this using my nexus 5 that I just unrooted. I am NOT. I repeat I AM NOT TRYING TO DISCREDIT ANY Developers keep up the good work but please give me some feed back and let me know if I can help in any way to try and make these issues that I'm sure a lot of people are having. Keep up the good work developers!!!!!!

Disclaimer: I have no scientific evidence or tests of this at all. This is merely observations ive noticed. Could I be completely wrong? Yes. Do I think this is a deep conspiracy by devs to ruin all thats right with the world? No. Anyways...
I do notice that my wifi signal has been slightly weaker from the same places in my house. Could just be bad luck/router/etc. and its never really be debilitating or anything. I still maintain connection but it seems a solid 3-4 bar wifi connection from my bed room has always been a 1-2 bar connection on a custom ROM. Doesnt even seem to be unique to my N5, it was the same way on my One X as well.
I'm sure there is probably an easy fix, or if I really looked into it maybe I'm just going crazy and there is nothing wrong or different with my wifi. But i figured maybe someone else out there is dealing with the same situation, or at least maybe theres a big secret wifi fix that I have been oblivious to all these years lol
THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT WORK XDA DEVS. I cant say that enough though, TBH. Ive used this site since I had a HTC Fuze way back in the day, then onto my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate, and the work and knowledge on here is outstanding.
When you say "custom rom" do you mean "aosp based"? Because it wouldn't makes sense that this issue exists on "stock based" custom roms

I can understand how flashing an aosp rom with perhaps no source for gpu or video drivers could have a problem with video playback. This was the case on the s3.
I can also understand how having to use OpenRIL on an aosp build could cause radio performance to suffer.
However a custom rom which is based on stock, using a stock RIL, using stock drivers should not exhibit these issues compared to stock itself. Even if it is deodexed. This has been the case on all the android devices I have rooted, flashed stock roms on or even built roms for. Including the N5 and the S3.
If you think this is happening on all the devices you own, its either something to do with your choice of rom or its something you do to all your phones that causes these issues. There's no reason why a custom rom based on stock would under perform w
compared to stock, unless you're picking something that has been incorrectly tweaked or you've incorrectly tweaked yourself

I am also seeing that difference. My phone was constantly freezing when opening apps. Also when trying to take a picture, if I move the camera too fast, it seems like the phone can't keep up and reboots itself. So I went back to stock everything and kept my boot loader unlocked. Everything seems to be working just fine now. Its weird.

This article is totally irrelevant to this conversation because it's comparing 2 different versions of Android. We only have 4.4 roms for this phone. You're comparing different 4.4 roms to each other, not different versions of Android.
Hello everyone, as for the title, coming from a nexus 4 upgraded to kk stock and comparing it with nexus 5 stock firmware and 4.4.1 ota I found out a higher ram usage on the nexus 5. N4 had 300mb used on boot to get filled up to 500~700mb of used ram with no recents and never got past the 1,3~1,4 gb of used ram with open apps (kk). On nexus 5 i seem to have it in the inverted situation: more than 800~1gb of used ram with no recents. See attached below with no recents.
is that "normal" for you too or it is just my n5?
I know that free ram is wasted ram just wanted to know if it is just me phone is really smooth and fast though, nothing to complain about
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You may have a lot of background processes running (including cached). Right now, I have no recent apps and using 600mb.
Upon reboot I'm using 428mb.
It might be interesting to see how ART affects ram usage!

Not in the slightest. I know how RAM works and why it does what it does and I'm satisfied enough with that.
I'm on cm12.1 g900t s5
Got the app through amazon to support you guys.
I don't want my money back or nothing... I got 15 bucks comped to me in the amazon app store and wanted to use it to spread out my support where I though it should go.
I would like to be able to use the app without it crashing.
I did several searches and found tons of crash reports. So my issue doesn't seem to be isolated. What I didn't find was a fix.
I have tried tinkering with it myself. I inspected what activities and permissions were involved.
I seen the ad related activities. I thought I may have been on to something. I use adaway and thought the ad activities may be causing the crash if blocked. I was wrong it wasn't that . I removed the activities to test... Nada.
Why is there ad related activities in the paid app tho?
