Long Press volume to skip tracks when device locked

Hi guys, I'm just getting used to my new Moto X Play (coming from a dead Galaxy S4 running CM12.1). I'm trying to avoid rooting for the time being. Is there a way to use a long press of the volume keys to skip track? I'm trying with PowerAmp with no luck. Is this typically a custom ROM feature? Thanks
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToYeD:
Here's a noob question. I want to install Xposed. Which arm version do I need for this phone? I know the chip is ARMv8 but I don't know if that means I need arm or arm64.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droider007:
since x play has 64 bit architecture but uses 32 bit system.... u should use arm only... :)
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
It usually is a custom rom or xposed feature. I'd love for it to be baked into android though, it's awesome.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siarp:
Thanks for the reply, I've found the free app "Pocket Skip Track" which enable 2 quick presses of volume button to skip tracks when locked. Not quite a good a long press but works well!

How to change Kernels

Noob question -

I'm running squid2's Cyanogenmod ROM, with the stock kernel. I would like to install the "squid kernel", but I'm unsure of the correct procedure. Do I just flash it on top of what I'm running or do I have to clean install it? Can someone lay out the correct step by step procedure to install a custom kernel?

Also bonus question: If I wanted to update my ROM in the future to a newer version of the same ROM can I flash it over the top or do I have to do a clean install? Again, could someone lay out the best practise for upgrading or changing ROMs for this device?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
Generally speaking you can just flash a custom kernel over the ROM wipout any kind of wipe.

First make a nandroid backup and then select the kernel and flash away.

To upgrade the same ROM all you have to do is wipe the cache and dalvik and flash the new ROM and gapps. That's called a dirty flash. If your flashing the same ROM of a different android version though you have to clean install it again.

Slow data after unlock

I bought my X Play (XT1563) locked from Telus (Canada). I unlocked it to use with Wind, it connects and works, but it's really slow, especially when loading Google Play. I checked the Baseband version, and it says M8936_2020613.22.03.21.33R LUX_TELUS_CUST. I saw screenshots of the same model, and the baseband was different (ending in RETCA_CUST). Is there anythting I can do to improve data speeds, or maybe get the stock retail baseband?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tim3tripp3r:
Are you getting the "system version" and "baseband version" confused?

If you go check your phone you will see the baseband says lux_telus while the system says retca FWIW

Also did you set the connection speed under network providers to 3G or LTE preferred?

I'm not on Wind but know that they aren't the speediest network, do you have another phone to compare to?

Question about microSD storage

Hey guys. I have a quick question about microSD cards. I just got one for my moto X play (32GB) and I was curious about whether I should make it integrated or make the phone see it as external storage.

What are the ups and downs of both worlds if you happen to know them?

Some key curiosities I have in the case of choosing to make it count as "internal storage":

- will installing apps on the microSD make it use itself up faster (if such a thing exists) due to constant reading/writing on the card?

- could there be problems with the device even if turn it off when performing actions such as swapping SIM cards? (microSD and SIM card being in the same physical container).

In general I was wondering about your experience with this feature in android phones, to make microSD cards internal storage. Is it worth pursuing or not?

Thank you. :)
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tag68:
Using SD card as internal storage is usually a bad idea.

- The card is much slower than internal memory. It will slow down your device.

- Micro SD cards are known to have an often limited lifetime. Failure will happen much earlier because of extensive usage when used internally.

- Access is more complicated. If your device gets broken, how can you access your media data, the photos you took?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexT92:
Thanks for letting me know. I will use that SD card then mostly for storing music, videos and pictures or mine.

Which means in the majority of cases its purpose will be Read function (playing multimedia).

I hope these objects don't fail too soon given I might have heavy use of music players accessing files on the microSD, haha. ;)

[Help] camera and baterry being weird

Hi guys, I would like to thank in advance those who care to answer :)

I'm a completely noob. I won a used moto x play (not rooted) and the battery didn't charge above 70% also only charged with the phone turned off (when I plug the charger with the phone turned on the battery stops discharging but doesn't charge, just freeze at the % it is, the icon shows charging and "turbo charger connected" message shows normally). The back camera also didn't work, only the frontal worked. The person who gave it to me told me that the phone begin doing that after android was updated to 7.1 and the person just bought another phone and gave me this one. I have no money at all to buy another one, so I'm really hoping to fix it since warranty is already expired.

Here's what I did: factory wiped to see if the update was the problem, (it came back to 7.1 after the swipe because he wanted to and I couldn't stop it) and everything remained the same. "must be hardware" I thought, so I sent it to repair and got a brand new battery (original). Now it charges up to 80%... but only when the phone is turned off and the camera works trough other apk called open camera, the original camera app doesn't work. The message it displays is "camera is being used by other application" it showed this message even before I install the open camera app. So I imagine it can be a software problem since the battery is new and the camera works by the other app. I don't know that to do. Any suggestion welcome, I trust in this forum :)

is there confirmed method to root or change rom on stock Andoid Nougat?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tag68:
To be honest: The question suggest that you do not know what it means. "Changing ROM" is not a similar action like gaining root.

My opinion is that one who owns a device should have control over it. Not being allowed to see the file with WLAN passwords which are not stored encrypted is a ridiculous action. Crackers and thieves may have an exploit seeing it, but you who bought the device are not allowed to start privileged processes?

But in your case I think you should consider letting the device without modification. What do you want root/other rom for?

Having that said, rooting needs 3 steps.

1. Unlock bootloader

(clears all userspace! Your current data will be gone without possibility to recover if you don't have a backup)

2. Run twrp for the device

(Need a computer with adb and fastboot installed, start (fastboot boot <twrp>))

3. Flash Magisk zip

(should be stored in the internal memory or an sdcard in the device for this action, can usually be transferred from the computer while twrp is running before flashing).

On the most recent official stock available in reteu it worked fine, think it is nougat (Android 7). It wasn't the current Magisk, but I think it was about 19.0 which I used. Can't have a look as the devices are at home and I'm on vacation currently ;)

I have no doubt that the current Magisk will do its work like every version before did. Moto X Play is very friendly wrt root via Magisk, unlike Moto Z Play.

Didn't try any other ROMs.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_bud:
I set preferred to LTE, and I do have a phone on Wind to compare to, and it's much faster, it's a Nexus 5 by the way. I thought that maybe the Telus baseband would have some effect on speeds. Basically what I've noticed is that sometimes the speeds are good, comparable to the Nexus 5, but most of the time they're not great, and in case you're wondering the change happens in the same location, I'm in my room the speeds are good, the next second they're super slow, but I haven't even moved. It's weird I probably should have bought it from Wind. From what I read in other posts I'm assuming that the baseband has something to do with the modem. Is there anyway to change it to stock or am I stuck with it?

Hello there!

I don't own one, but I'm rather interested. Thus, I have questions (you don't say) :

- Is it true it doesn't have gyroscope ? (some says it doesn't, others don't talk about it)

- What does it "not" bring ? Is it a big matter ?

- Is it "dual sim + microSD", or "dual sim or one sim / one microSD" (like OnePlus X) ?

- Will it go up to Android "N" at least ? (I don't even know if it goes to Marshmallow)

And last question (I think, for now), should I really buy it ?

I was about to buy Moto Pure Edition from Amazon (-100$ Deal of the Day), but it doesn't ship in Belgium …

Anyway, thanks a lot for reading and helping !
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brom25:
I owe one, and I'm from Belgium too :D Got it on RueDuCommerce on a flash sale back in September for 350€.

To answer your questions:

- It does not have gyroscope on 5.1.1. It means that Photosphere does not work, even though some have managed to use it.

Google VR is not working as well. But on a pure daily basis, I never noticed the lack of gyro.

- It is a Dual Sim + Micro SD, have a nano sim of Proximus and one of Mobistar + 32gb micro sd

- It supports Android M. India, Brazil and Canada have already received the OTA update. Europe should arrive soon too.

- And to answer your last question, it depends on what you expect from your phone. Personally, after testing the latest flagships, I noticed that the battery life is what matters the most to me. The camera on the MXP is really great for an average person, the screen too. I never noticed any lags and what made me choose this one is the battery life. After a whole day of usage (Calls, SMS, WhatsApp, Messenger, Youtube, ...), I have around 50% left at the end of the day, with 3h30 SOT.

I'm really interested. it seems to be a really good choice, when compared to others, also for the battery.
