Update Added an APK that fixes Transparent Status and Nav on Android L. It does nothing else new over 1.3.0.

Retribution is a Launcher3 based launcher with the following new features:

- Workspace grid rows and columns are adjustable to 1 above or below the device default.

- Search Bar can be hidden. The work space expands to take up its space in Portrait or in Landscape if the Dock is also Hidden.

- Optional Dock with the work space expanding over the freed space when the Dock isn't present.

- Ideal Icon sizes are calculated automatically based on the work space configuration.

- Icon sizes are additionally adjustable to between 75% and 125% of the calculated size

- Icon pack support (all common types) with a selector that shows a sample of icons from each installed pack. (Based on the Widget Selector)

- Folder Color customization. (Choices between grey opaque, black opaque, grey translucent, black translucent, and the default White.)

- Choose between the old black folder icon and the new white.

- (unsupported) Optional landscape orientation on phones.

- Support for Android 4.0.3 and 4.1 in addition to the 4.2+ Launcher3 supported. (note there are slight differences, unrelated to my new features on those versions. See the Play Store Listing for details.)

I do not try to duplicate the Google Now features in the Google Now Launcher. That can't be done well in a way that offers anything over existing ways to use Google Now. I have ideas for the Custom Page that Now occupies in that Launcher but haven't started that yet.

Available for Free from the Play Store below, or through the attached APK.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nbehary.retribution

New in 1.3.0 (Free)

Bug Fixes (apply to both Free and Pro)

- App Drawer Sort menu now properly displays the current sort method.

- Sort method is saved and preserved.

- Grid changes should always take effect now. (They weren't sometimes)

Also, there's a paid ($2.49) Pro unlock Key which adds the following:

- Applications can be placed in Groups used to filter the App Drawer (and other) display.

- Workspace folder colors can be set individually. (except for the icon, which if colored, always uses the set system background color)

- The work space grid is adjustable to between 2 and 12 rows and columns.

- Icon and Label sizes are adjustable to any value (well, any above 1dp/sp)

- Folder colors expanded to allow any of the 3 folder components (Icon Labels, Folder Name,and Background) to be set to any color.

- Quickly scroll through the App Drawer, Widgets, and Icon Packs by swiping the Page Indicator in each.

- In addition to the normal black or white, folder icon backgrounds can be colored to match the folder background color.

Available here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nbehary.retribution.pro_key

Very good launcher, maybe it could be more simple.
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
I like grid adjustment option of this launcher. But which I dislike most of launcher 3 is few second delay of appearing and disappearing of application drawer. Can developer focus on this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] nbehary:
What device? I've never noticed any real delay. If possible I am interested in addressing an issue like that.

Correction, maybe. I've assumed my phone is just slow which it is, but there are cases on it where it does take overly long that may be something else. (I can't recreate on the 2013 N7, but it that's not surprising.) I'll investigate that.

[General Questions and Answers] freshjr:
For those of you that haven't heard, Siri Eyes Free is Apple's iPhone intergration with select Honda and Chevy cars.

What happens is that the car's interior microphone and the steering wheel voice button both act as a proxy to funnel input to the phone over bluetooth.

Did anyone hack together an Android app to work with iOS's input api? All I really want is to send text messages / initiate calls using google now voice.

I could get an iphone for testing. I have a laptop and a phone with bluetooth, if those can record the raw bluetooth signal
[General Questions and Answers] surge919:
I picked up a car that has Siri Eyes Free (after a firmware update) and have an Android so I'm bumping this .
[General Questions and Answers] Alpione:
Nearly a year later I'll bump this as well. Any ideas here? Just moved from an iPhone and lack of voice integration over Bluetooth is a bummer. Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] cr08:
Another bump on this for visbility and hopefully some additional useful information. Long story made short I recently got a new car, a Ford C-Max with MyFord Touch, that has Siri Eyes Free capability (as of v 3.6/3.8). Sadly the car I upgraded from had a cheap <$100 aftermarket radio that happily activated Google Now through the standard BT voice dial button and allowed me full hands free functionality and would like to get that back.

What I have found upon a little digging is Apple has published developer documentation which covers Eyes Free functionality:

https://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers/BluetoothDesignGuidelines.pdf

As someone who can somewhat understand and comprehend this information but couldn't code to save his life, it appears to be fairly simplistic and is just a handful of custom BT serial commands, simple back and forth request/acknowledge commands, and an SCO audio link. Most of the user interface setup seems like it may be on the accessory/head unit end rather than the phone.

I would love to take a whack at this but unfortunately would not know where to begin. My first thought is would something like this with the serial BT communication, establishing an audio link, and triggering Google Now, be able to all be done without root?

If anyone begins on this or also wants to have a go at it, I'd definitely be willing to help where I can including testing and debugging.

No matter what I try to do, I can't seem to get my Nexus 4 to download things remotely from the install button on the Play Store website. It does it fine for the Nexus 7, but not for my phone.

I choose my phone, click install and the button changes to installed, but nothing happens on my phone. What could be causing this?

I have the latest Cyanogenmod. It has never been a problem before now with any other versions. It seems as if the Play Store knows the device exists since it is in the list when I choose to install something. The phone also receives push notifications from PushBullet and Google Voice.

[Moto X Q&A] YankInDaSouth:
I currently have a Note 3 (Verizon) and I'm thinking about selling it and grabbing the Developer Edition Moto X ...

I don't find myself utilizing the Note Series features all that much anymore (SPen, Multi Window, etc) and use very little of the Samsung features offered. Call quality and data connectivity have been ify for me lately and I know Moto can't be beat in that department.

I'm concerned about the reduction in screen real estate for sure (ironic because the larger form factor was my concern when going to the Note 2 LOL). So, I thought I would see if any former Note 3 users made the switch and get their input ...

Thanks

Note 3 .... that is all!!
[Moto X Q&A] leearnold0911:
I switched from a Note 3. I bought the X for the hell of it and never picked the Note 3 back up. I just factory reset it and handed it to the wife. You won't miss that thing for a second. We're RVing for the winter and the spot we're in is really iffy on Verizon service. The note 3 is struggling to simply send a text and my X has 1-2 bars of 4g (enough to tether for some Netflix). DO IT!!
[Moto X Q&A] chrisbass:
Pretty much the same scenario here. Had the Note 3 and gave it to the wife when I got a cyber Monday deal X. Don't get me wrong...a 32gb Note 3 with a 64gb sd and 5.7 inch screen was quite nice (only ever used a little over half available storage) I absolutely prefer the X. It's just perfectly usable.
[Moto X Q&A] dxwilliams40:
I picked up one free for my wife with an early upgrade. She is satisfied with her gs3. So only time will tell. I use my lg g2 more than my note 3 anyway.
[Moto X Q&A] asteinmetz54:
I have never personally owned a note 3, but my girlfriend has one so I've played around with it. I used to have an s3 and the only thing i missed was external battery and sd card. Other than that, I wouldn't trade my Moto x for anything. Features like active display and touchless control and Motos almost stock experience and fast updates sure does make it hard for me to like any other phone.
[Moto X Q&A] YankInDaSouth:
Good stuff!! Thanks for the feedback all!! I may go to a local Verizon store today and mess around with one ... I'm torn because I really like the N3 (aside from depleted signal as compared to N2) but the form factor of the N3 is not like the N2 either, not as comfortable in the hand as the N2 was. Hard to explain LOL

I may sit tight and see what the KitKat upgrade does for the N3 signal-wise, if anything. Or Sammy and Verizon may drag their feet on the update and piss me off prompting me to get the Moto X LOL

Thanks again for all your thoughts/input!!
[Moto X Q&A] kwhopper1:
I just sold my note 2 and my Moto X dev. edition will be here friday.
[Moto X Q&A] bengadget:
I had a Note 2, then an HTC One, then went to my current Note 3. I went back because although I DESPISE Touchwiz, I couldn't overlook the multiwindow/pen window features. For the past few months, I've stopped using those features and tried other apps for that kind of multitasking. Between the apps Viral, NinjaSMS, and Floating Apps (caught it on sale for a dollar, a complete steal), I am completely comfortable not using the Touchwiz multiapp features. And frankly, I'm over 5+ inch phones.

Now I was considering dumping this for a Nexus 5, I completely wrote off the X as a mid-tier forgettable phone. But across the net, people just never stopped talking about it, and after reading about it, I think it will be perfect. I'm looking forward to the Touchless Controls, especially as I've been using Tasker and Autovoice a lot. I have OpenMic+, but it's, of course, no substitute. I was worried about it being too small but I played with it in a Best Buy. It's fine, and the 720p screen is fine. And since I don't need roms anymore with GravityBox, and I've always been a software over hardware guy, I think the X Developer Edition will be perfect.
[Moto X Q&A] aldouse:
Sold my n2 for the x. Couldn't be happier
[Moto X Q&A] YankInDaSouth:
Question I forgot to ask ... How's the camera on the X? Loved my N2 camera not so pleased with N3 camera. However, I owned Motorola phones before and the camera was always a friggin turd! (I'm looking at you Razr Maxx HD) ... so, has Moto improved their camera yet?
[Moto X Q&A] bengadget:
It's not the best, but I've heard that, since the update, it's no slouch. There's a "Pictures Taken With the X" thread on the next page with some great shots, especially on the last couple pages.
[Moto X Q&A] YankInDaSouth:
Man, I probably should have went to my local Verizon store and played with the X prior to posting this thread LOL

DAMN that's one tiny phone!! There is no way in the world I can go to a phone that small again after dealing with the Note 2 and now the Note 3!! I may be able to do the Droid Maxx, but even that might be tough ... these phablets have spoiled me I tell ya LOL
[Moto X Q&A] ballisticn8:
I'm looking at selling my Note 3 and moving to the Moto X right now myself so this was a nice thread to find. I like the screen, and the storage (64 gig card here + 32 gig internal) but the signal and gps quality of the Note 3 just cant match anything Moto puts out and the X has some features I think I will really use unlike the features found on the Note 3 that I use some of rarely.

Local market is pretty empty for a 32 gig model Moto X but as soon as I can find one I'm doing a swap + cash or just outright selling the Note 3 and buying the Moto X.
[Moto X Q&A] YankInDaSouth:
I agree about the many useless (to me anyway) Note 3 features and signal woes, but I just don't think I can go THAT small!
[Moto X Q&A] ballisticn8:
That's what she said? Alright, now that I got that out of my system, I know its smaller but I am looking fwd to one handing a device easily again. I'm 6'1" and have gigantic hands (2xl motorcycle gloves) and I have trouble one handing this device. Granted NFL mobile and movies look amazing on the Note 3 but the ability to use one hand to grab the phone, unlock it, click on the dialer, punch in the number and hit call is something I cant do with the Note 3. And the Moto X while smaller, well it isn't like its Droid Eris or iPhone screen sized lol.
[Moto X Q&A] YankInDaSouth:
LOL ... I'm right at 6' tall as well and I've always been told I have large hands (the ladies love large hands HAHA) and, while it's not easy, I can manage to do certain things one handed on the N3. But, when I went into the Verizon store to play with the X there was just no way I could type on that phone! After an typing for too long the hair on my thumb knuckles might catch on fire from all the friction LOL (I'm a hairy Italian LOL)

I liked the feel of the Droid Maxx, but sadly it's priced so high there's no way I could sell the Note 3 at a price that could offset the price of the Maxx ... Guess I have to live with the N3 and pray an update fixes things for me.
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
Typing is so old school, you should try swiping around the keyboard. The Moto X screen is the perfect size for it, it is very fast and works great one handed.
[Moto X Q&A] YankInDaSouth:
I'm not a very good speller, so swiping never did work out well for me LOL

I do use voice to text a lot, but that's not convenient at the office ;)

The touchless controls and interactive display of the Moto X is very intriguing! Plus I really like the new direction and approach Motorola has taken lately ... Unlike Samsung which continues with an Apple-like confining experience. (was reading how the KitKat update "broke" third party accessories! Lame!!)

Note 3 .... that is all!!
[Moto X Q&A] thatdude02:
I know it isn't exactly the same but I've come from a Galaxy Note 1 to Nexus 4 to Moto X. I told myself that I would mess around with the Nexus 4 and root it and have the X as a backup. Boy was I wrong.

Now I really did love the sheer gigantic size of the Note, mostly because it fit in my hands pretty much perfectly, but there is something about the curved back and dimple in the back of the Moto X that just forces me to hold onto it for as long as I can! In a way I do wish the phone was a bit bigger as it is a bit awkward to grasp at times, but at the same time I prefer a smaller phone for single handed use.

Battery life was a HUGE issue for me and I was presently surprised by a good 13-17 hours of use on a slow day (which is perfect!) LTE just made it so much better (4g on Nexus 4 yuck!).

The last and probably the most important reason why I'm not going back is the built in software. Now I really see the appeal of Multi-window on the Note, but from there the Moto X wins. Active notifications are amazing!! I do not think I could go back to and LED or turning on the screen. Touch less controls I find somewhat gimmicky at times (Google now is somewhat limited where I live in Canada) but is really cool when you can tell who is phoning when you are driving. The always listening function makes up for this however. The flicking of the wrist to start the camera is a strange motion that doesn't always work the first time but is extremely convenient.

Personally if I could afford the Note 3 I would probably give it a shot. However as I have a Nexus 7, if I really want a big screen at that moment I just fire up a portable hotspot and go from there. I don't think I would be giving this phone up unless Samsung makes a Note with their version of active notifications and Touch less control. Just my two cents though! Everyone have a good day!
[Moto X Q&A] YankInDaSouth:
Nice write up! Lots of interesting points you've made ... thanks for the input!

Multi-Window, Pen Window and pop-up browser are Note 3 features I would truly miss, but honestly, I did without them before and probably could do without them again (but do I want too LOL) ... I really hope Motorola comes out with a larger device that offers the same features as the Moto X ... the size of the X is really the only thing holding me back right now. Even if it were slightly bigger, say the size of the Droid Maxx or Ultra I would not hesitate ...
[Moto X Q&A] :
The size may be a selling point tho...? I had a few reasons for choosing the x....one of which was the size. Just felt better...and it's plenty big enough for me. Doesn't seem much bigger than my s2 screen...tho it is a bit, and I didn't replace my s2 cause of its size. I think Motorola went smaller very much on purpose. ;)

So they may not want to increase the size. That's why they made the Maxx. But yes, its more expensive ....tho more on par with other flagship prices, whereas the x is cheaper than just about every other companies top phones.

Sent from my Moto X cellular telephone...
[Moto X Q&A] YankInDaSouth:
I definitely see what you're saying, but I'd think that the Moto X might be too small for me. I know it's not exactly a small screen size at 4.7 inches, but I fear the device itself is too small. Ironic because not too long ago, pre smartphones, it was about the smallest phone possible (scenes from the movie Zoolander come to mind LOL)

Note 3 .... that is all!!
[Moto X Q&A] :
That leaves you with the maxx. It is similar in price to other top phones. Keep in mind its extraordinary battery. ;)

Sent from my Moto X cellular telephone...
[Moto X Q&A] YankInDaSouth:
Yeah, the price is killer as I will have to buy it out right due to no upgrade :( Those funds would come from the sale of my Note 3, which I doubt I can get over $600 for ...

Note 3 .... that is all!!
