So Nova just got an update that supports OK Google and it works flawlessly. It was the one item I was jealous of from the Moto phones.

Just curious, does "OK Google" wake Nova Launcher even screen off?

No - that's a hardware issue though. There's another thread complaining about how our phone doesn't have that capability while the OnePlus One does.

I wonder if that can be solved with a "Mic always on" type script.
When it first came out, I thought the MOTO X was the only one that could do it.
But my old RAZR MAXX (Not HD) would do the OK Google thing when I loaded CM11 on it. Shocked the hell out of me.

When the screen was off??

There is an Xposed Module that enables the OK google command for just about any third party launcher. Sense launcher, Apex, Nova, and just about every other launcher you can think of. Simple, install Xposed framework, enable, reboot. Install Ok google module, enable, reboot, done. It's cool that Nova natively supports it now though. I'm sure Apex will follow suit. That was the only feature that had me using the otherwise crappy GEL launcher.
does this work with screen on but locked?

Does anyone know of any app that performs a similar function to MIUI's Guard mode?
What it basically does is, hide your SMS, Call Log, and Gallery photos until you input the pass-code. It does not delete everything, it just hides it until guard mode is disabled. I would like it for those situations, were I'm at work, or visiting my parents, ect... and I don't want someone to accidentally stumble upon something incriminating in my phone while using it.
EDIT: It doesn't not hide the apps, it hides the things in the apps. So for example: I could still send sms without seeing every other sms I have on my phone.
I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for but it's the closest I could find. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.domobile.applock

I had to dump stock for nova launcher, drove me nuts that you couldn't center certain widgets on the stock launcher.

Does the stock launcher allow you to change app icons? I thought I read somewhere that you could..

Mine is really basic right now as well. I had switched to Nova launcher but when I did, I lost the Knock Knock feature. It'ls pretty damn handy... I hope we see icon packs made for the stock launcher or a way to enable the gestures without needing to use the stock launcher.

I just saw instructions in one of the g2 threads to use the knock feature with nova. I can't find it now. There is another app you need to download and set up the gesture in Nova.

How do you change icon size on this phone without rooting and while using the Google launcher? Not quite ready to root, yet. And I like the default launcher other than the icon size. A bit big for me.
Thanks.

Just won't happen without root. Even then it would probably require changing DPI settings.

Lol that was funny. Just use nova or my favorite Apex launcher. Although I believe Nova is only confirmed to work 100%. You can customize anything!

Use a 3rd party launcher like Nova or Apex. You can customize everything, including the icon size.
Is it possible to remove the Google Search bar from my stock launcher. It just bugs me being there, so have to use a Apex which I don't like using a 3rd party launcher.

The OP mentioned he doesn't want a third party launcher. You can try disabling Google Search. It worked on other versions of Android but I don't know if it will still work. One thing; anything that relies on search will not work.
I want it out of there as well, I've been on android since the begining and I have an exact layout I use. That location is where my clock widget goes and there isn't a chance in hell I will use their stock launcher until it can be moved.
visually disable that "Search bar", while still having the "Ok Google"
I would love to be able to simply visually disable that "Search bar", while still having the "Ok Google" voice function working (don't mind loosing the Google Now swipe too)!
if there is an app or some hack that can be applied to stock tooted ROM, pleas let me know.
Thanks
Is it possible to make the notification bar transparent and also the 3 touch buttons, like on stock launcher.

Yeah, I'm trying to like the stock launcher, but despite how pretty it is, I missed being able to change orientation and having more icons on the screen. I feel like the icons are oversized on stock.
