I just watched review on Phone Dog and his phone has regular android quick setting bar on top. Was it different in review models and they changed it afterwards ?
Actually other reviews have it that way as well. Is there a way to enable that ?
any one please tell me how to get screen off gesture for moto g
( in any rom or seprate application )
for stock and stock-based: xposed - gravity box - status bar - double tap to sleep
(for example)
a lot of custom roms have it include
sweep2sleep from optimus kernel.
another way: per app - nova launcher prime offers a lot of options to turn off screen
I use nova launcher, have the option to turn off the screen double tap

Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus - Android™ 7.0 Nougat Release Notes
INTRODUCTION
We are excited to announce a new software update for Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus by Motorola. This update brings Android™ 7.0 Nougat to your phone along with other improvements.
For more information on Motorola updates and repairs, visit us at www.motorola.com/motog.
NOTE: You cannot downgrade to a previous software version after installing this update.
ENHANCEMENTS
Android™ 7.0 Nougat improves your mobile experience with new multitasking features, more efficient notification controls and improved data saver and battery features.
After installing the software update you may notice changes that include:
Productivity
Quick switch between apps: Multitasking in your phone just got even easier. Double tap the overview/recent apps button to switch between your two most recently used apps.
Multi-window view: Android Nougat supports multi-window view, so you can run two apps side by side in your screen. For example, reply a text message while watching a video, or browse the internet during a video call. Activate multi-window view by long-pressing the overview/recent apps button while in a compatible app. Important: the developer of the app needs to enable multi-window view.
Work mode: For Android for Work users, Android Nougat comes with a new work mode toggle, which allows you to conveniently turn on and off your device's work apps and related notifications for a better work-life balance.
Performance
Data saver: Data saver helps reduce cellular data usage. When Data saver is on, apps running in the background won't be able to access cellular data. An app you're currently using can access data, but may do so less frequently. You can also choose which apps have unrestricted cellular data access. To turn Data saver on, open Settings from the app tray and go to "Data usage", then tap on "Data saver". To adjust data access for individual apps, got to "Unrestricted data access".
Doze on the Go: Android Nougat comes with an improved Doze mode. Now your device goes into lower power usage when you are not using it and the screen is off, even if you're on the move.
JIT compiler: The new JIT compiler improves runtime device performance, helps reduce the amount of storage space required for apps, and helps make app and system updates much faster.
Stability improvements: Includes changes that address bugs and help improve the stability of your phone.
Notifications
Notification direct reply: Android Nougat lets you quickly reply to messages right from the notifications. When you receive a message, swipe the status bar down and tap "Reply" on the message notification. Then type and send your response, all without opening the app. Works on compatible applications.
Bundled notifications: Get more information at a glance! In Android Nougat, multiple notifications from the same app are bundled together into a single notification group. Drag the status bar down and tap the group to expand it and see or take action on individual notifications.
Notification controls: You now have more control over notifications. Just press and hold on a notification to toggle the settings. You can silence or block future alerts from an app in the notification itself.
Usability
Custom quick settings: Android Nougat lets you rearrange the quick setting tiles, so you can find your commonly used settings faster. Just swipe the status bar down with two fingers, then tap "Edit" at the bottom of the quick settings panel.
Quick settings bar: A new settings bar was added at the top of the notification shade, so you can conveniently access your quick settings when reading your alerts.
Improved settings navigation: Find the right setting faster with an updated navigation menu in Settings.
Settings suggestions: Android Nougat gives you meaningful suggestions for how to get more out of your device. Find them at the top of the Settings menu.
Lock screen wallpaper: You can now have different wallpapers on your phone's homescreen and lockscreen. To set the wallpapers, long-press on an empty space in your home screen, then tap "Wallpapers". Once you select an image, tap "Set wallpaper" at the top of the screen, you will be prompt to set the selected wallpaper for the home screen, lock screen or both.
Improved system backup coverage: Android backup covers more device settings in Android Nougat, including accessibility settings, run-time permissions for apps, Wi-Fi hotspot settings and Wi-Fi network restrictions.
New and updated emoji: Do you speak fluent Emoji? Bring your words to life with all-new emoji, including redesigned human emoji with multiple skin tones.
Emergency information: Emergency Information lets you add information such as name, blood type, allergies, and an emergency contact so that emergency responders can view this information through your device's lock screen. To add or edit emergency information, open Settings from the app tray, scroll down to "Users", then tap on "Emergency information".
Accessibility
Accessibility settings in initial setup: Now you can configure accessibility features for your phone during the setup tutorial. Set magnification gesture, font size, display size, and TalkBack right out of the box.
Accessibility mono output: Assists users with hearing loss in one ear by combining stereo left and right channel output to a single mono stream. To turn Mono audio on, open Settings from the app tray, then go to "Accessibility" and scroll down until you find the "Mono audio" switch.
Variable text to speech: Allows setting a wider range for speech speed and pitches. Open Settings from the app tray, then go to "Accessibility" and scroll down to "Text-to-speech output". Use the sliders to adjust the speech rate and pitch.
Size of display elements: In Android Nougat not only can you change the font size, but also the size of the display elements, like icons and images. To adjust the size of your display elements, open Settings from the app tray and tap "Display", then scroll down and select "Display size".
Authentication
Trusted face improvements: Unlocking your phone with Trusted face is easier than ever. Trusted face, a part of Smart Lock, has new facial recognition, which is less sensitive to conditions like lighting, facial decorations and how you hold your phone.
Call screening: Allows the default phone app to screen/block incoming calls.
Internationalization
Multi locale language support and preferences: Now you can add multiple languages in your device settings to customize experiences for you, like showing search results in multiple languages and not offering to translate webpages in a language you already know. You can even sort your language preferences so that apps can pick the right keyboard & text for you.
Locales by language: We added the option to select locales for commonly used languages. When you add a new language, you will be prompted to select the locale (if supported for the selected language).
Moto experiences
New Moto action: We added a new Moto action to your phone: Swipe to shrink the screen. To learn more about this action, open the Moto app from the app tray, then go to "Actions" and tap "Swipe to shrink the screen".
Fingerprint sensor for screen lock (Moto G Plus only): We added a new setting to disable and enable locking the screen when the screen is on and you touch the fingerprint sensor. To access this setting, open Settings from the app tray, scroll down to "Security", then tap on the screen lock gear icon.
INSTRUCTIONS

If you have received a notification message for this update:
Select "Yes, I’m in".

Why not skip 7.0 and go straight to 7.1 instead cool features with this one like Smart Storage or App Shortcuts in Google Now Launcher.
excellent news
Please update to camera2 API and fix the SD card issues....
That was quick. I hope they don't neglect the MXPE.

Hmm., sounds pretty typical to me. Hoping for a MFN invite, but as you know, their opt-in options are strangely missing. I should be opted in already, but it's still odd.
According to their history, we'll get nougat in Jan.
Possibly 7.1
now available for G4, our turn will be after Z play gets it Q1 2017
Just upgraded from the Moto One Action to the G Stylus, definite upgrade for sure.
One thing that concerns me is that they appear to have removed the One-Button Navigation option for 3rd party launchers, I know 3rd party launchers as a default in Android 10 don't integrate with the gesture navigation as of yet and default to the 3-button option.
The Moto One Action runs Android 10 but had that Moto one-button option, is it hidden or just gone on this newer model?
I'm using the one button/gesture system navigation with the included launcher on the stylus. Worked out of the box. There's a setting under settings, system, gestures, system navigation to enable it.

Again, fully aware that with a stock launcher the default Android 10 one-button nav works fine, I am speaking specifically about the Moto Gestures that allowed their version of one-button nav on Android 10.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about using the included launcher with system navigation gestures on the Stylus since you mentioned the lack of gesture system navigation with a 3rd party launcher. I don't have a Moto One Action so I guess I'm unclear about what referring to. I don't have a Moto Gestures app on my Stylus. I do have a Moto Actions app that includes touch screen & accelerator gestures such as chopping to toggle the flash(light), three finger screenshot, swipe to shrink, etc. Perhaps that's what you're looking for.
Hopefully Google keeps their promise and enables gesture system navigation soon. Then we'll see how long Motorola takes to release an update.

All good, no worries. These features are also on the G7, X4 and the Moto One series, if it was a specific thing to one model I wouldn't even be questioning why those chose to remove actual helpful functions. There's no technical reason for not having them on the newer model(s).

it's not a thing on Android 10-launched Motos, they removed it in favor of Google's gesture navigation

Hi, The issue with the Android 10 Google One Button Navigation is that in the Google version, the longer bar, the back page feature which worked well in the Moto G, shorter bar, does not work in Googles bar.
One example is if you are using the Amazon Shopping app and selected a product to view, you cannot swipe left in the long Google bar to return to the menu as you can do with the shorter Moto G bar. You need to return to the Amazon Home page and then start the search from the beginning again.
This error also occurs within other apps when wanting to swipe left to return to a previous page.
When selecting the longer Google Bar in the Moto G8, the same problem occurs when navigating within an app. Fortunately the Moto G8 affords the option of choosing the Moto G shorter Navigation Bar.
If you swipe left in the longer Google bar, it goes back to the previous screen of the previous app.
Please can someone suggest how to get the shorter Moto G bar back again? We have Moto G7, G8 and G9 phones, the G7 and G8 still have the shorter Moto G bar, the Moto G9 does not have the option to select it in the Navigation settings and we really don't want to go back to the three button navigation. Thank you.

Can someone raise this with the Motorola team? I just returned my Moto G 5G phone because of stupid the android 10 system longer bar navigation. I really wanted Motorola's own one shorter bar nav!!!!
I've been debating this phone vs the g power for more storage, but it seems like the g power has more root support for it and more hacking in general that has been done for it? Anyone that can give me some feedback here? I was hoping there'd be a lot more options for custom ROMs or am I missing something?
To force one button navigation with a 3rd party launcher use adb and enter:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
(to disable: just change "enable" to "disable")

to go back with Google's gesture navigation, you swipe in from either edge of the screen
@tendiez01 - Thank you for that "swipe in from either edge of the screen" suggestion, it works perfectly.
Hi,
Have this phone (exactly "Moto G Pro"):
1. Double Tap to Wake (native) ?
2. work fine on it "XDA Navigation Gestures" ?
3a. is possible (while phone sleep) using FingerPrint for PowerOn and direct to home? (i plane using NovaLauncher)
3b. swiping (while phone is on) over FingerPrint show Notifications?
4. Have any type of "AmbientDisplay"? i mean, phone sleep on desk, i pick up it (without pres key, lcd, fingerprint) and for some sec is show time, notification icons, "etc"...
BTW: actualy i have Nokia 7 Plus, but after some update, lost AmbientDisplay, after replace broken LCD lost DoubleTabToWake and Proximity sensor is always on (while incoming&outgoing call is always black lcd and if need interaction must disable sensor before call)... Then i try find good replacement with AndroidOne(on market with A10), FingerPrint on back, DoubleTapToWake and nice to have stereo speaker, and "Moto G Pro" look as one of fev with stylus (although not "digitizer/wacom" but "only" capacitive) as nice bonus
Thanks
nobody have "Moto G Pro" ?
I know it has something similar to your ambient display question although Motorola calls it something different. I use it. When you pick up your phone or it knows your looking at it, it will display date, notification, etc. I don't think double tap to wake is supported natively.
@bigrooster88 thanks, i finally buy "Moto G Pro" and to me #0 question:
1 - practically yes in Settings/Display/PeekDisplay/Settings/TapToWake - this for one tap show PeekDisplay, with second tap&move switch do home/last_app, then for my use is same as dt2w
2 - XDA Navigation Gestures work like a charm
3a - yes FP (if not locked) go direct to home/last_app
3b - swiping over FP can be enabled to pulldown notification bar
4 - similar as AmbientDisplay[Nokia] have Motorola PeekDisplay and is better...
then i am satisfied
Yes I like peek display
