Moto X 1st gen now updated to Android 5.1

The Android 5.1 update for the Moto X 1st gen is finally rolling out…in Brazil. I know, not exactly what you wanted to hear, but hey, at least it is rolling out to the 1st gen Xs after what has been months of delays. If the update is headed to devices in Brazil, then Motorola must be getting it ready for US carrier variants too. 

So what’s new in the update? It’s a lot like the original 5.0 update that rolled out to the Moto X (2nd gen), only this has all sorts of bug fixes that likely won’t be mentioned in the changelog we have pasted below. It does talk about Smart Lock (trusted devices), Material Design, new notification controls, Do Not Disturb mode, the addition of the flashlight shortcut to the quick settings menu, and use of ART.

Speaking of the changelog, it was translated from Portugese to English, so please excuse some of the misspellings and other oddities.

You will notice an immediate visual fully renovated and colored in your device, since fluid animations to new themes, colors and widgets for applications and the system.

n order to alert you to the latest relevant information, the format and the operation of notifications evolved:

• notifications will appear on the lock screen, classified intelligently by type and sender.
• open a notification with two rings, swipe left or right to delete or remove all notifications from the list of background.
• can set the priority and the privacy of notifications for each application.
• notifications with higher priority will appear briefly on other applications, so you can decide what action to take.
• when you cancel a notification on a device, this is also canceled in its other Android devices if they are connected to the Internet.
