I wonder if it fixes the search key while in the app drawer bug.

On any GB blur phone; if you open the app drawer, and then press the search key (or start typing if you have a physical) the launcher FCs.

Okay, mad props to Moto still supporting an old phone but honestly, why? This isn't even the most current X.

Maybe when Google took over they found some updates that were never sent out and now they are sending them out. It really wouldn't surprise me if that were true...

Because there were issues that needed to be fixed?
