Moto X,quite popular and bought for it's features rather than specs , primarily the always-on listening which allowed the users to control their smartphones by voice commands and the other one , active display which when the phone is listed displays the notifications on the lockscreen
The always-on listening worked out due to an additional co-processor , which also helped in saving battery by not using the main cores of the device
This feature was ported to a Nexus 5 which contains a Snapdragon 800 which contains an dedicated signal processing core that makes it to work out. Guillaume Lesniak from OmniROM was first to demo the capability in a short proof made by him in his Google+ page .In the video, he unlocked his Nexus 5 using two words that were "Hey Snapdragon" . It is currently not released due to legal restrictions on reverse engineering and releasing source code for public availability .
Nexus 5 infact Snapdragon 800 has a low-power DSP for language processing that can be used to copy the always-on listening features by a firmware upgrade and it might also be introduced by Google into it's next Android version.
Guillaume Lesniak aims to provide these features to open community as Android is an open source project after all legal settlements and when it's more stable

Rooting is the first step to customize your device. Without rooting absolutely 'extraordinary' nothing is possible. Just follow the steps.
1. Charge your device more than 80%.
2. Backup your contacts, messages, apps and everything you want. For the contacts and messages you can just about use anything off the Play Store with a few stars and good reviews. But for the apps I would personally recommend the Astro/ES File Manager app.
3. Download the zip file for root and place it directly on your SD card, not in any folder. Do not extract it.
4. Switch off your phone.
5. Press the Home button, Power button and the Volume Up button and keep holding it until the Samsung logo appears. Now let go of the buttons. You will see that some writings have come in red colour. This is called the Recovery Mode. Your touch screen wont work now. So don't panic if you touch the screen and nothing happens. Only the volume buttons, home button and the power buttons work now. Volume buttons for going up and down. Home button for selecting and Power key for going back to previous screen.
6. Select 'Apply update from sd card'.
7. Choose the file that you have downloaded and select yes.
8. After that you'll be taken to another screen where there will be an option 'Reboot system now'. Select it and be patient and wait for your phone to switch on.
9. Check your apps and if you see the Superuser app, it means you are rooted.
10. Now open it and update the binaries.
Download update.zip

1. INSTALLING ADB/FASTBOOT DRIVERS
The first thing you need to do is to install the adb/fastboot drivers. These are needed so that you can unlock your bootloader, root your phone and perform other adb/fastboot functions.
THE DRIVERS CAN NOW BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT. OPTION 1 IN THE MAIN MENU.
IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE WITH THE TOOLKIT INSTALLING THE DRIVERS PLEASE POST IN THIS THREAD WITH YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION AND ERROR MESSAGE.
a. If you dont want to use the ToolKit to install the drivers then the best best drivers to try are PdaNet for Android, download and run the 32-bit Windows 7/Vista/XP or 64-bit Windows 7/Vista and follow the instructions to install.
b. After the drivers have been installed disconnect the usb cable and shut down your phone. Keep holding the 'Volume Up' and 'Volume Down' buttons and press the 'Power' button to boot the phone into FastBoot Mode.
c. Goto your Control Panel on your PC and open the Device Manager. You want this open so you can see the FastBoot driver is installed or so you can install it manually.
d. Connect the usb cable. In the Device Manager a new item called 'Android 1.0' should pop up and then the driver should install automatically. Once it is installed you will have a new section in the Device Manager called Android Phone without an "!" meaning its installed correctly.
MAKE SURE YOU ENABLE USB DEBUGGING IN SETTINGS, DEVELOPER OPTIONS BEFORE CONNECTING THE USB CABLE IN ADB MODE SO THAT THE PC CAN DETECT THE PHONE PROPERLY.
Note 1: If the driver doesnt install automatically then double click on the Android 1.0 item, then click on the driver tab and select 'update driver'. Select 'browse my computer' and browse to the Google Nexus 4 ToolKit\driver folder. Make sure sub folders is ticked. Drivers should then be installed correctly.
--------------------------------------------------------------
2. USING MSKIPS' NEXUS 4 TOOLKIT
a. Download the Nexus 4 ToolKit package and install the ToolKit to your PC (to the default location if possible). The installation will create a Shortcut on your desktop called 'Nexus 4 ToolKit' for easy access. You have the option to include or exclude the drivers files at installation so if you already have your drivers set up and are just updating the ToolKit then you can untick the drivers if you wish.
b. Once the ToolKit is installed make sure your phone is booted and plugged in via USB cable and double click on the shortcut on your desktop to run it. If running the file directly please use the toolkit.exe file to start the Toolkit and not the tkmain.exe file or it may not work properly.
c. You will be asked if you want to check for an Update. If you type 'yes' this will download and check the latest version numbers against the versions in the ToolKit. If there is an update available then you will have the option to download and install it (professional only feature).
d. You will now be presented with a Model Selection Screen to choose the Model/Build that you are currently on. Type the number that corresponds to your desired selection. For example type '13' for GSM MODEL [MAKO] 4.2.2 [Build JDQ39]. If you cannot find the build your device is using then type 'h' to select the HELP option to get more info.
NOTE1: If you have a new build that isnt covered by the Toolkit you can also type 'a' in the Model Selection screen to see instructions on how to pull your stock image and send it to firmware.support@skipsoft.net so support can be added.
NOTE2: You can also type 00 on the Model Selection screen to go straight to the activation screen so you can type your code and upgrade to the Professional version.
e. The Toolkit will now locate and download the image pack for your chosen Model. This is a new feature so the Toolkit is not limited to how many Models can be added and it cuts down ALOT on the download size. After the zip file has finished downloading it will be extracted to the correct folders and the files checked to make sure everything is ok. If you cannot download the pack via the Toolkit then you can download it manually from http://goo.im/devs/mskip/toolkit/goo...files/MAKO.zip and extract the 2 folders to your installation folder.
f. When you enter the Main Menu you will see 'Adb Mode' and 'Fastboot Mode' at the top. If you have installed your drivers correctly then you will see your devices serial number under the text with 'device' next to it for the mode you are in. If you see this then your device is connected and you can carry on.
NOTE: If you haven't installed the drivers and don't see a serial number at the top then this is the FIRST thing you want to do so the Toolkit can operate properly. You may need to do this in adb and fastboot mode.
g. Each option in the ToolKit has full information on what it is and how to use it.

b. After the drivers have been installed disconnect the usb cable and shut down your phone. Keep holding the 'Volume Up' and 'Volume Down' buttons and press the 'Power' button to boot the phone into FastBoot Mode.
c. Goto your Control Panel on your PC and open the Device Manager. You want this open so you can see the FastBoot driver is installed or so you can install it manually.
d. Connect the usb cable. In the Device Manager a new item called 'Android 1.0' should pop up and then the driver should install automatically. Once it is installed you will have a new section in the Device Manager called Android Phone without an "!" meaning its installed correctly.
MAKE SURE YOU ENABLE USB DEBUGGING IN SETTINGS, DEVELOPER OPTIONS BEFORE CONNECTING THE USB CABLE IN ADB MODE SO THAT THE PC CAN DETECT THE PHONE PROPERLY.
Note 1: If the driver doesnt install automatically then double click on the Android 1.0 item, then click on the driver tab and select 'update driver'. Select 'browse my computer' and browse to the Google Nexus 4 ToolKit\driver folder. Make sure sub folders is ticked. Drivers should then be installed correctly.
--------------------------------------------------------------
2. USING MSKIPS' NEXUS 4 TOOLKIT
a. Download the Nexus 4 ToolKit package and install the ToolKit to your PC (to the default location if possible). The installation will create a Shortcut on your desktop called 'Nexus 4 ToolKit' for easy access. You have the option to include or exclude the drivers files at installation so if you already have your drivers set up and are just updating the ToolKit then you can untick the drivers if you wish.
b. Once the ToolKit is installed make sure your phone is booted and plugged in via USB cable and double click on the shortcut on your desktop to run it. If running the file directly please use the toolkit.exe file to start the Toolkit and not the tkmain.exe file or it may not work properly.
c. You will be asked if you want to check for an Update. If you type 'yes' this will download and check the latest version numbers against the versions in the ToolKit. If there is an update available then you will have the option to download and install it (professional only feature).
d. You will now be presented with a Model Selection Screen to choose the Model/Build that you are currently on. Type the number that corresponds to your desired selection. For example type '13' for GSM MODEL [MAKO] 4.2.2 [Build JDQ39]. If you cannot find the build your device is using then type 'h' to select the HELP option to get more info.
NOTE1: If you have a new build that isnt covered by the Toolkit you can also type 'a' in the Model Selection screen to see instructions on how to pull your stock image and send it to firmware.support@skipsoft.net so support can be added.
NOTE2: You can also type 00 on the Model Selection screen to go straight to the activation screen so you can type your code and upgrade to the Professional version.
e. The Toolkit will now locate and download the image pack for your chosen Model. This is a new feature so the Toolkit is not limited to how many Models can be added and it cuts down ALOT on the download size. After the zip file has finished downloading it will be extracted to the correct folders and the files checked to make sure everything is ok. If you cannot download the pack via the Toolkit then you can download it manually from http://goo.im/devs/mskip/toolkit/goo...files/MAKO.zip and extract the 2 folders to your installation folder.
f. When you enter the Main Menu you will see 'Adb Mode' and 'Fastboot Mode' at the top. If you have installed your drivers correctly then you will see your devices serial number under the text with 'device' next to it for the mode you are in. If you see this then your device is connected and you can carry on.
NOTE: If you haven't installed the drivers and don't see a serial number at the top then this is the FIRST thing you want to do so the Toolkit can operate properly. You may need to do this in adb and fastboot mode.
g. Each option in the ToolKit has full information on what it is and how to use it.

As with any process which involves tampering with your phone's firmware, rooting your device can have negative as well as positive consequences. Although it's unlikely, you could end up with a bricked and unresponsive handset -- so consider yourself warned. You'll also void your warranty.
Another thing to note is that this guide relates to the GT-i9505 with the Snapdragon 600 chipset, and not the octo-core variant. This process will also not work with S4 handsets which have the a software baseband ending in MDM. You can find out your baseband reference by going to Settings > More > About Phone. And finally, this guide assumes you're using Windows 7 on your PC.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS-
1.Backup your phone
2.Download Motochopper
3.Extract the files somewhere
4.Switch on USB Debugging by going into Settings>More>About Phone,Scroll Down to build number and tap it continuously ,this will enable Developer Menu which you will find in More of the Settings Menu. Go there and enable USB Debugging
5.Connect your phone using a USB Cable
6.Go to the folder where you have extracted the Motochopper and double click the 'Run' exe file
7.You will see a windows like this
8.Press Enter and follow the instructions carefully and your phone will be rooted :)
