Don't need root/custom rom, works great on my one s running stock 4.1.1/sense V4+

Haven't had any bugs for a while now.

As for the proximity sensor running constantly, that only happens when the app is active so when you take your phone out of your pocket or turn it around, the notification display will come on (exactly like the moto x), without that running, that feature wouldn't be possible, there is a setting to turn it of.

as far as i'm aware, dynamic notifications isn't the same as active notifications, it's like a chinese knockoff version :p
 
AFAIK that is the only app outside the true moto x system?

It is pretty much the exact same aside from some UI differences, however, you have more tweaks i.e. can change what the side swypes do, change the colour, privacy mode, custom timeout etc.

Is anyone else having problems with Google Play? I saw a couple of others comment on Twitter last night, wouldn't connect. I wiped Play data and the usual stuff but it didn't help.

This morning, I can download apps again, but when I go to 'My Apps' it's only what I've just downloaded, not all my current apps?!?
 
Not seen the reroute notification in new Maps before, quite nice it popped up whilst I was at a Standstill and just about to pass the exit for the route :)

Me! Not been able to download anything all day over WiFi or data. Also, Google+ has been failing to update occasionally. Seems Google Towers might be having issues.
 
Indeed. It is a great app but I can't help feel that's it's seriously dodgy. How do we check what permissions it has again...?

Especially now I've seen it's a Russian domain :p

EDIT: I've only got it installed on my Tab2 at the moment but when I stream within the app it doesn't hide the notification bar and home buttons. So it's not properly full screen. Anyone else have that issue?
