So I'm new to rooting my Pure (not in general, been rooting forever) and I just installed AICP and have a few questions.
I realized right away there is no active display (Moto display? is there a difference?) which I'm guessing is due to the fact that AICP is an AOSP-based rom, which after some searching, I'm finding is incompatible with non-stock roms. This is new to me as I thought Moto's stock firmware WAS AOSP to begin with.
Basically, first of all, what's the major differences between moto's stock FW and AOSP? I'm coming from an LG G2 and a Galaxy S3 before that so I knew those systems were heavily modified and skinned by the manufacturer, but I was under the impression that the moto X was as close to AOSP as you could get - but apparently not *the same thing*.
And, if I can't get moto/active display on AOSP, is there a good alternative? I tried enabling ambient display but it doesn't work at all for some reason. Also if AOSP roms are fundamentally different from stock, does that mean there's some way I can enable DT2W somehow? That was probably my favorite feature of LG's phones and while the moto display didn't fully scratch that itch, I got used to it enough while I was unrooted. If none of this is possible, should I just use a stock ROM? What will I be losing (or unwillingly gaining, through bloatware I guess) by not going the AOSP route?
EDIT: I should probably add that I just disable the lock screen entirely. Hence why I really like being able to just DT2W or wave and swipe to get into the phone. Additionally I never really cared about the battery drain because I always carry a little Anker portable battery with me.
