Moto X camera launching gestures now on all Android phones

One of the unique features of the Moto X phone was its camera launching gesture that allowed the user of the phone to twist their wrist twice in order to quickly open up the camera application. This is useful for obvious reasons but now the feature has come to other Android phones in the form of the quick camera app.

An XDA users decided that there would be demand for the service on other Android phones so an alpha version of an app called Quick Camera is now on the Google Play store and it mimics the Moto X’s intuitive gesture.
The app is simple. All you have to do is start the service. It runs in the background and it will open up the camera app if you twist your phone in quick succession. The accelerometer in the Android phone is used to register the gesture and since it is standard in nearly every Android phone this means it should work with almost any Android device on the market nowadays.
The app is in its alpha stage which is before the beta stage so it will still be buggy and will probably take up more battery life than the finished version will. If you’re interested in downloading it you can join the testing community here.
