A few days ago, I would've agreed with you wholeheartedly, but being back on SwiftKey feels great. Fleksy has excellent gestures that SwiftKey still needs to learn from, but Fleksy's autocorrect just isn't up to par by comparison and lacks any kind of swiping. It's not a dealbreaker but it's nice to be able to lazily…

SwiftKey has had some real advancements recently, not just the themes. The autocorrect is spot-on. I switched to Fleksy for about four months but switching back to SwiftKey just before the big theme overhaul felt like a really good decision. They're not as good as Fleksy with gestures and they could still use some…

Oh, okay, I think I misread the app description. I thought it just pulled up that screen whenever you picked up the phone. Personally, the reason I love Active Display so much is that it shows you what notifications are there and what they are, not just some nonspecific light color or a vibration. Plus, with Active…

What's the advantage here over something like Active Display (or AcDisplay, for that matter)?

Yeah I did that for a while but then I had a lot of accidental activations so I went back to OK Google Now. I would love for them to let us just pick a phrase.

I just wish they'd offer a different phrase. "OK Google" has too many hard syllables that are easy to stumble over, especially if you have to say it multiple times. I was super excited about voice recognition on my Moto X but saying "OK Google Now" three times in a row to register gets tiresome. Good on Apple for…

I can't imagine trying to get away with not washing a shirt after a full day's wear. Like an undershirt I'm wearing to work under dress shirts, sure, I'm not gonna wash any of that every time. That undershirt is going to get gross. That's the point of it. The dress shirt will not be gross as a result and won't need to…

This is wonderful news. I really thought I was stuck using the Motorola Camera forever just out of convenience.

If I could just put in a request to someone more familiar with all this IFTTT stuff than me, can anyone make a recipe to update my phone's background with the day's weather according to drakeweather.com? That would be the best.

"If the company asks for a number on the application, leave it blank."

It'd also be cool to hear from him, on an unrelated note, what the best practices are for pitching stories to a busy guy like him.

That sounds great. Is Xposed for rooted phones only?

Same here. Plus they don't support labels or filters, which is equally crazy. I don't need Gmail to have some prediction system where it learns my preferences because I can just tell it "well this is a bill so label it a bill but skip the inbox."

For some reason, Android's robot lady voice makes every text hilarious. The first text it read for me—I was so excited to see the feature in action and a friend was in the car with me—was, "K." The second time was a friend saying something like, "Sadly, Peter and I will never be together. Our love burns too bright to…

Yeah, I actually wrote little blurbs for "gorgeous" and "sexy" then decided brevity was probably better. I could just keep going, too. It's like they're trying to make sure those words have absolutely zero meaning.

I was super impressed with a lot of the Moto X's features when I first got it, especially since it's my first smartphone (I held off for a REALLY long time), but now I think Active Notifications is the only feature I wouldn't be willing to give up going to another phone. I haven't really had a problem with it lighting…

You're missing my least favorite:

I'll try it out, thanks. How does it improve upon Active Notifications?

It doesn't make a lot of sense for other phones to have this app at all, in that case. The entire reason why Active Notifications exists is because of the AMOLED screen. But in the beta for this app, they've added pocket sensitivity with an "active mode" that will turn the display on when you take it out of your…

I have a Moto X but I've found a lot of the native features of it kind of buggy, so I'm always on the lookout for new ones. Great find, gonna try it out now.
