App summary
This app is targeted for select Motorola devices. For all other devices of all other OEMs or for all custom ROMs, this app will work in COMPATIBILITY mode.
This app may need Device Administrator permissions.
[Unsupported Moto devices:
Moto E3 series, M, C, G1, G2 (as they don't have Moto Display)
Moto E4 series is having some problems. This should be fixed from Version 4.0 of the app.
Moto X1 (unknown reason, probably a fault in Moto Display app itself)
Moto X2 and up, Moto Z, Z2 series (they have this functionality inbuilt)
]
This app brings up Moto Display when the device's proximity sensor detects motion while the screen is off. Plus there are some more features.
Extra features:
1) Music control notification - control music volume directly from Moto Display without touching volume rockers
2) Wave-n-hold for screen off - switch off the screen with the proximity sensor based gesture built in the app, no need to use the power button.
[This app doesn't activate Moto Display (or lock screen) while the device is in the pocket]
