Wrong camera activated on lock page

Running Stock 4.4.3, rooted, plus xposed.
I installed the Nexus 5 camera app from the Play Store sometime ago and was fairly happy with it. But now realize that the Moto G standard camera is better. So I just removed the Nexus 5 icon and replaced it with the Moto G camera. Job done, I thought.
But I have just discovered that the camera icon on the lock screen still activates the Nexus 5 camera.
How do I change the lock screen camera icon to activate the Moto G camera?
Can't seem to find out how. Thanks!

Go to Settings>Apps and find the Nexus 5 camera app. Click on it and select the option "Clear defaults". Now lock your phone again and go to the lockscreen camera page (swipe right). If you do everything as mentioned, you will hopefully get a prompt to select which camera to open as default on this page. Select the Moto G camera app and click always and you're good to go.
Cheers!
Edit: If you don't use the Nexus 5 camera at all you should consider uninstalling it either by dragging it from the app drawer to the uninstall option on the homescreen or from Settings>Apps>Nexus 5 camera.apk>Uninstall

Thanks! The first paragraph as you described worked fine. I decided to leave the N5 camera available because it has a timer option which the Moto G doesn't have.

What is the sense of this app? Work only as charger LED or when connected to PC.... I hope in future,notifiaction like Moto X Play LED is possible.

It also works using the LED Control App from the google play store. But I don't think that LED light is very useful

Didn't work for me

Didn't work for me, works only for charger and pc, i would like to recieve notification LED.

Very *exclusive*. Thanks anyway.

Search, it's posted all over the G4 forums.

can we enable it for notifications also?

Thank You :good:

It is kind of working. No blinking, the settings are not always respected - like if you set it to be on only during charging, it won't turn off at the end .
3 stars out of 5.

Works for notifications
Tasker is able to control the light. Means you can use it for notifications. There's also light flow that's able to control the light

have you tested using light flow.. not working for me
Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Yes light flow and Tasker both work fine. Play around with direct control, root and the different LEDs detected. Notification test feature is v useful in determining the right combo. Tasker works directly when selecting charging led.

Someone knows if moto G4 PLAY has hidden led too?

here it does not work, but I'll try again .. XT1640

[APP][Moto Display]Activate Moto Display by waving over proximity sensor

Hello everybody.
We all know that Moto Display is very useful and shows incoming notification. In Moto G and E devices, it activates when the phone is moved from its position, or when a flip cover over the phone is opened. However I have heard that in Moto X devices, it activates even if you wave over the proximity sensor.
So I thought of making a small app that does the same. It is on Play Store.

Its Says not an eligible device ( Moto E3 Power )?

Thanks for reporting. As far as I know, Moto E3 power has Moto Display.
This app checks for the availability of a package com.motorola.motodisplay. This is the package name of Moto Display in all Moto phones. Maybe that is not the package name in the case of E3.
It would be great if you could help me find out what is the package name in E3 as I don't have this device for testing purposes.
EDIT: E3 doesn't support Moto Display

It works perfectly with my moto g4 plus. What happens with the Music Volume Control Notification? I don't see.
And for the "Wave-n-hold for screen off" it works but when i touch my digital sensor my phone ask me for my pin to enter. Is ti normal?
Thank you for your great job!!!

Music volume control notification gives you an extra bubble on Moto Display to control the volume. Just like you can control Google Play Music directly from Moto Display.
The fingerprint sensor won't work with "wave and hold". It is an Android limitation and is normal.
Lastly, please reply in the relevant device's thread. This is for Moto E3 not G4.

Sorry, Moto E3 doesn't have Moto Display.

You can try Acdisplay... It is quite similar to moto dispaly.. it is available on play store for free... Go and try it...you are definitely gonna love it!

Thanks so much for this app. It's awesome!
Can we launch moto display in another way (eg via tasker)? In tasker I get a permission denied and I can't find the solution.
I'd like to put back the pulsing functionality in moto display. Simply have it wake the screen periodically to display notifications.
Thanks,
David.

Why is this app posted in MOTO E3 apps and themes if it's not compatible with the moto E3 /E3 power?

Sorry mate. I didn't know initially that Moto E3 doesn't have Moto Display.

No need to apologize!
I just think this post would be better being moved to a compatible device thread.
You know as well as I do people with an E3/E3 power will download it and then come here crying it doesn't work......

Double-tap, or Knock/Knock, to wake up the phone?

I got rather used to double-tapping the screen on my prior phones to either wake up or turn off the screen. I cannot find that feature within the Moto G7 Power Android 9 Pie configuration / setup. Looking around, this feature seems to be available in Android Pie generally.
What am I missing?

It's not a native feature. We're you using an LG phone? You can get it back if you use Nova launcher. At least for screen off, won't work for screen on.

As stated above, knock on is a feature of LG phones.
As an alternative, look for WaveUp on the play store. Open source app that turns in the wave feature not included in the G7.
Not as nice as the knock on, but one you get used to basically touching the proximity sensor, it works the same.

I know! A little frustrating to move BACKWARD in an operating system feature set!

It should become a moto gesture, that'd be EPIC.

LG even make a fridge with a knock-on light so you can see what drinks you've got in the door.
Sorry, nothing useful to add! It's not a native feature of pie, however.

Tap your screen to semi-wake so lockscreen clock (if set) will appear then scroll up from bottom of screen and pin input appears. Proximity sensor seems poor so many taps may be needed.

Wouldn't the Face Unlock be much easier and prevent the need for a double tap? Of course it wouldn't work in dark areas. Things like these I think they implement because it might be better or easier

If someone makes a custom kernel and adds DTTW then your in like flin.

Missed Call/SMS Rear Flash Notification App needed

Is there a missed Call/SMS Rear Flash Notification App that works on an unrooted Moto G Stylus? I have tried many & either they didn't work or I was using them incorrectly.
I even tried FrontFlash Notification by an XDA member. Which did work on my rooted Moto G7 Power. And I couldn't get it to work on my unrooted Stylus.
