[Q] Updated to Kit Kat - GEL, OK Google, etc

Hey folks,
I got my Moto G today and couldn't resist updating to 4.4.2
Just a quick question - are features like the Google Experience Launcher, OK Google activation from the home screen, and accessing Google Now via a side swipe all Nexus-only features?
If so, I assume these can be sideloaded?
Thanks all!

Tut tut - don't be lazy use search and you will find all your questions have already been answered.

[Q] Motorola Camera on Google Play Edition

Hello!
This is my first post and my very first Android phone of all time - so excuse me if I asked something that is so obvious. I am still learning!
I have a Moto G Google Play Edition and I am very happy about everything with it (It's my travel phone, my primary driver is an iPhone 5S and a BlackBerry Z10) I read a lot of article about this phone before I settled on my very first Android and I heard a lot of good things about using stock Android. There is just one catch, the stock Camera app sucks and does not take HDR pictures. Is there a way to load the Motorola Camera App on this phone without rooting? I googled a few methods on the internet and doesn't seem to work (Obviously it wouldn't install from the Google Play Store, I also tried downloading the apk but it doesn't install on my phone.)
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
:good:

if you want functions this has loads. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.almalence.opencam

It's nice but it's not the same interface

[Completed] Problem with Play store

When I open the play store app it goes straight to the apps section and not the home page. When in the apps section it only shows 5 tabs - Categories, Want Quick Suggestions, Top Free, Top New Free, and Trending. On top of that most of the apps shown on top of the respective tabs are worthless apps with fake reviews and download numbers. I think that this may be a fake play store, but I can't be sure. I tried uninstalling the updates and clearing the data, but the problem still persists. As of now this problem can be seen on my phone, and my dad's phone and tab. I also tried the Web interface but it's the same story, even in my laptop and my pc. I tried opening the link for the Nexus 5 on my pc and laptop, but it shows that 'Devices on play store are not available in your country' , even though the nexus devices and the android wear devices are available in India. Please Help Me.
Thanks in advance
P. S. : I reside in India and use the Indian Play Store.

[Completed] how to get chinese apps preinstalled (e.g. "beauty center") back?!

i ordered the new cubot x9 and today it arrived. it is a very nice phone with a great software and great preinstalled apps. unfortunately i updated the phone and now there are some apps missing. it is very annoying and i have no idea why they are so stupid to remove apps after update. before the update there was an app called "beauty center" where you can change the style of your phone, how the apps look etc. i want this one and the other missing apps back. it is possible without root?
thx for help!

Hi,
The apps are likely simply discontinued and/or not compatible with the new version. Being a less popular device, It may be hard to find the apk's and try to install them.
You could try asking here,

[Completed] Can't sign into any Google Play game... At All.

Recently, I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) and also installed Modded Google Play Store from the same Developers who made Lucky Patcher. I installed the latest one last week and only realized a problem today.
When going into an Game that requires Google Play Games/Google Play Services, the option to log in does NOT appear. When I try to log in myself (That is pressing the Log In button within the apl of the game) the option also does not appear. Modded Google Play Store works perfectly, but when I open Google Play Games, nothing but a white screen appears. Note I also have Freedom installed in my phone.
Can anyone please give me an insight or a solution to this problem? Unrooting my phone would be, of course, a last resort for me, along with uninstalling lucky patcher. I have seen posts saying to delete the Hosts file, but that didn't do anything. Any help would really make my day. Thanks.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
Unfortunally this is a problem regarding the modded GApps but i suggest you to flash the original ones from here in order to see if it's not even a phone/ROM problem and for futher questions you can also ask here to the general forum: Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
