All I find is suggestions from a few years ago, so probably outdated or maybe there appeared some better tools in the meantime, there are some apps in the play store but I need something good privacy wise, no training demon, also small battery life impact would be nice
For your unfamiliar with moto gestures I’m talking about are chop for flashlight and twist for camera, they work irrespective of app you’re in or screen being on/off
Also changing songs with volume buttons was nice
Moto has a few gesture shortcuts, two of which are mentioned here: Chopping two times with the phone toggles the flashlight, twisting the wrist opens the camera and toggles front/back cam.
This, two display settings and gaming mode are the only customizations to the ROM, and as all of this is useful I’d argue it’s the best ROM by any manufacturer there is.
Ok, those are some seriously neat gestures. Any way to get them to other phones? XD
Well, this post is currently only about those two features, and there are only a few OK suggestions. And to also get the display and gaming features, you’d need much more work. Extracting the Moto apps as APKs wouldn’t work, as they require many daemons and services running in the background. So the only way to get those features that I see is to install the Moto ROM directly. There are all ROMs available, though they aren’t from Moto themselves. I do not think flashing it on another Phone would really work tho. So the only way I see to get all features perfectly would be by actually buying a Moto Phone.
The only downside of Moto Phones is the Camera, really. The 700€ edge 40 Pro is only behind the Galaxy S23 Ultra in Camera, display resolution (though who really needs 4k?) and battery size, but has a higher Hz refresh rate, 4 GB more RAM and charges nearly 3 times as fast. I personally got the Edge 20, which is more than enough (except for the camera). The latest to fully support bootloader unlocking and therefore Lineage is the Edge 30 tho, afaik.
Thanks for the info. It is not the same but the camera you can at least start by pressing the power button twice.
I have motorola phones for at least five years now amd didn’t know that the camera gesture can switch between front and back also. Thanks for that info!
