I've been getting a few 'Insufficient Storage Available' messages when installing apps. Moving them to the SDCard manually was beginning to become tiresome, so after a little Googling I came across a way to set the default install location to the SDCard using an ADB command:

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

This way seems to be working well so far for me. Just keep in mind that widgets will need to be moved back to the phone.

To return to system default (let the system decide where to install) use:

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0

To always install to internal memory use:

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 1

Thanks for the tip to charge on the wall.

It was working fine for the last few weeks until I just noticed a Force Close error message saying:

"Sorry! The application Mail (process com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.mail) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

Whether I click Force Close or not it just reboots and does the same thing soon after the launcher picker option comes up. It takes about a minute each time to complete the cycle. It just continues like this until the battery drains. The battery drains very quickly too. Sometimes I don't even have enough time to power off with the power button before it restarts.

A few times, after the above force close message, a similar one follows for Bluetooth Share.

I was previously using the watch using internet from my phone with Bluetooth tethering enabled. Autosync was disabled.

I have tried letting the battery run flat, charging with usb then powering up. But the cycle just begins. Haven't tried anything else to be honest.

Thanks for the help!

After re-installing first ClearDroid MotoACTV Version 1.1.3A and then Zeam launcher and rebooting (using MotoACTV easy modder 1.2), I still don't see Google Play (app drawer should just be home screen, menu, apps right)? Right now I have just Amazon AppStore (which won't work, no keyboard support), Maps, WiFI Manager, Youtube, and a few others. Is it possible the Wiki is out of date? (gasp). Do I need to download the Google Apps separately (if so, which version from Cyanogen would work the best?)
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
It starts as Market. It has to update to Google Play via WiFi, which could take a while, just like every other Android device always did. :)

However, I don't think I included the amazon app store in 1.1.3...

Gnu, Your original batch file post was a big help. Thank you!
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
That's right, thanks ClearD, you'll have to launch Market from the apps drawer, enter your Google account details and it should update itself, show some force closes and then become Google Play. Make sure your Wifi is configured and is turned on (best way to do this is put the power widget on your homescreen) and doesn't turn off.

Hi, I followed speedyinks video tutorial on rooting the MotoACTV with the exception that I installed Launcher Pro through easymodder.

Launcher Pro comes up but all the apps force close stating, "Sorry! The application LauncherPro (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." or it states "Could not launch the requested activity."

In addition, trying to add a gmail account also fails.

I then tried the Honeycomb Launcher and Zeam and get the same errors.

Does anyone know why I am having this issue and how to fix it?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Are you using a Rom or a fresh root? If using a fresh root, you don't have the necessary files to do all that yet. Push the files in dproldan's contacts fix, that should help. Or just flash cleardroid.

I am using ClearDroid 1.3.1 for the ROM which I installed from zip in recovery mode. How do you flash cleardroid?

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Reading about flashing ROMs, it looked like that is what I did when I installed ClearDroid from the zip. Is this correct? And you were saying to flash ClearDroid only if I didnt already have the ROM installed? Sorry, I am unfamiliar with the terminology.

I'll look up what you mean by pushing dproidan's contacts fix.
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
I'd try redoing the entire process from scratch, following the Wiki.

Repeat the root using MotoACTV Root Tool V1.1.5. Then install ClearDroid MotoACTV Version 1.1.3A. Do this the same way you did before, recovery and choosing the zip from your SDCard, but before doing so choose the options in recovery to wipe the cache and dalvik cache (under advanced).

dproidan's contacts fix helps with force closes and is included in ClearDroid 1.1.3A.

Use Easy Modder V1.2 to install Zeam Launcher and remap the buttons and launch the Market app from the app drawer. Add a power widget to your homescreen and enable wifi. Keep an eye on it as it likes to turn off. Input your Google account details and allow it to update itself. Use the Market Search app to search Google Play as the search box doesn't work, or install apps from a web browser on your computer.
[Other SmartWatches] vwo05:
Thanks Margino,

I'll try redoing the process and wiping the caches. I dont think I wiped the cache when I did it.

Does dproldan's contact fix get pushed automatically when I install the ClearDroid Rom? Or do I have to do it manually through adb?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
It is included :)

I tried finding advice on how to get into fastboot with the newest stock ROM (1.7.2). I pressed the power and start button for various times, up to almost 20 seconds (after 7 the backlight flashes briefly) but the MotoaACTV root tool 1.1.5 doesn't recognize the device. Is there any new method? Does the device give any message or is it just a black screen?

Thanks and sorry for these newbie questions.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Haven't updated to it yet, not sure. Dproldan and Cennis91 were figuring it out a few posts back I believe, but I haven't checked it out just yet.

Hi, so I did exactly what you said and was able to get all the way through to installing Zeam Launcher and remapping the buttons. However, I am still unable to launch the Market app from the app drawer. When I try to sign it, it says I have no connection. So I tried to add the power widget by typing in adb, C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb install pw30.apk. It stated I had success but then the power widget didnt show up in the launcher. Am I not installing apk's correctly?

I then also tried to push the contacts fix even though I had installed the ClearDroid ROM. I typed in C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb push./Contacts_enabler_MotoACTV.zip/system/apps. It said I had success.

After all this, I still cannot launch the Market app and all other apps still force close. Am I missing something?
[Other SmartWatches] funnycreature:
I'll try that when I get home tonight, thanks all for the quick reply!

EDIT: It worked but unfortunately I don't have a micro USB cable with me right now. Got to wait until I'm home but at least I saw the fastboot screen :)

I am from ISRAEL and today I got my new watch, I have some questions:

1. Why I can't find my country (ISRAEL)?

2. How can I put HEBREW in my watch?

3. What I need to do now with my new watch (if I want to install on it a new rom), I

just unboxing it?

Thanks,

[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
You don't install the power widget, it is already on the watch. You just add it to your zeam screen and turn on WiFi. It comes standard with Android.

I used it a little bit, and it was difficult because it didn't scale well to the small screen. I prefer to use Google My Tracks or GPS essentials for tracking my runs - they both work great!

Just a thought to enhance device capabilities & compatibility

Since we all know that the MotoACTV is running Android 2.3 & the Sony Ericsson LiveView wristwatch is running Android 2.0, why can't we port the Sony Ericsson's LiveView wristwatch apps to the MotoACTV ? The LiveView apps are very useful specially on the small limited screen and the mobile phone sync capabilities are amazing.

Some ideas that crossed my mind:

- Using the BT stack provided with LiveView wristwatch to extend MotoACTV's bluetooth profiles.

- Using the LiveView's sync apps on MotoACTV to sync Android mobile phones.

- Enabling handsfree calls through Mic/headphone gateway via Bluetooth... (That would be awesome) "I'm" Android wristwatch already does this...

The beauty of MotoACTV is that it's rooted and opened wide now. So we could literally do whatever we want and upgrade it the way we see fit.

I also support the idea of opening a separate section for the MotoACTV to organize our collective effort into one huge resource center instead of having several scattered forums and blogs.

You should be hearing from me soon after I get my MotoACTV :-D

Good luck to you all.
[Other SmartWatches] NORCALkID:
This is am awesome idea and the kind of enthusiasm we need for this to become the wrist watch of choice. Lets make it happen

^ I agree with the above statement and have voted for the creation of a motoactv section.

Now, I've been having a lot of issues with google services framework and etc crashing/force closing in the background. Did I miss a step installing the google apps?

I tried to install runkeeper and cardiotrainer. Both seem to fail on the install from amazon app store. I dunno what's preventing them from installing... It just comes up "Installation failed."

Alright wasnt quite sure.. just been getting a lot of random force closes suddenly (even when not doing anything except using the timer function on the original motoactv launcher)

If the force closes are from the gapps, I have a batch file you can toss in my zip and it'll remove the gapps and fix the force closes.

Hey Im pretty new to the forum and the Motoactv is my first android device. This was my first android root and I completed it! I was pretty happy and I even put angry birds on it as a test app but I just ran into a problem today that I cant think of how to fix it and I need some help. When I rooted the device I installed the honeycomb launcher just to try it out as Im new to android but I realized Id be much happier with Zeam so I installed Zeam and but nothing changed on the motoactv. Then I looked and it showed Zeam as an app that I could launch and I could switch between the two launchers. I didn't like that though because it took most my ram and processing power to run both of those at the same time. So I thought why don't I Factory reset my device and start new and fresh so I wont have any glitches from before. Anyway here is my problem; after I tried to reset my device the device ran out of battery. Now the device will only turn on only if it is turned on through the fastboot but the fastboot wont do anything because all it displays is battery low and that it cant do anything. Now if I plug in my device to the ac adapter the led wont shine and the device wont charge but, if I plug the device into my computer it will light up for 10 min or so until it turns on and the red Motorola icon pops up but then the moto icon wont move like it normally does when it starts up it just stays the same and then the device will shut off with a couple of minutes because it wont charge when the device starts up. So I am stuck because every time I try to charge the device it will start up and then turnoff and repeat. I was thinking if there is some way of charging it so that I can install a fresh new system.img. Or if I should try to do something else but please help me! Thanks and I'm glad to see this device get some dedicated fans.
[Other SmartWatches] Sideburns4life:
Just plug it into the wall charger and wait about 30 minutes to an hour or so. You'll be able to boot it from there.

When I plug it in the wall the device it immediately powers up but it sticks to the red Motorola icon and the charging light wont light up. Also I cant shut down the device and put it in fastboot mode when it is plugged into the wall. Another thing is that the Motorola icon doesn't "pulse" or move like it normally does when it starts up it just stays as the icon and does not change at all. The second I unplug the device from the wall it just turns off due to not having any battery left, but I cant charge it! :confused:

motoactv

need help with the motoactv apk for evo 3d i can receive notification of text but cant get notification of incoming calls or missed calls please help
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
The MotoACTV apk is extremely limited if you don't own a motorola phone. I have an Evo 4G and also have the notifications, but phone calls and calendar events don't work. I believe this is only for Motorola phones.

The MotoACTV software is kinda worthless to me, doesn't work with Google Voice, Market Updates, etc.

So I finally got the watch setup for what I originally purchased it for... WarDriving and Wifi Penetration!

Below are the apps I am using and why.

Now as I drive around throughout the day doing service calls, all the Wifi Access Points I come across are logged. I get back home, upload to Wigle account, export to KML for Google Maps and I have a list of every Access Point I passed for the day.

All work well and do what I expect from them. If anyone else has any more suggestions, please let me know.
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
The power widget is included in the ROM. Long press the homescreen -> Widgets -> Power Control. It will appear on your homescreen. You can enable the wifi there and keep an eye on it in case it turns itself off after a while.

The files in the zip need to be extracted and pushed to \system\apps one at a time. You just copied the zip over. There's no need to do this because ClearD has included them in the ROM.

I'd recommend getting the wifi connection sorted out so the market works and gets updated to Google Play. Then if you're still getting apps force closing post which apps are doing this.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

It would be good to have our own XDA MotoACTV area where stickies could be used to explain the root and install process, but for the moment all the info you'll need is contained in the wiki and this thread over the last few weeks.
[Other SmartWatches] vwo05:
Thanks again! The long press on the homescreen is what I didn't know to do. That did it! I got it to work. Maybe if someone would add your advice above to the wiki, it would help out alot of people who have never done this before.

How do I get a keyboard or swype to show up in Maxthon or other apps?

In addition, I wanted to install a different launcher but wasn't able to this time around. I had installed Zeam, HC and launcher pro successfully before. So I tried returning my motoactv to stock again. I also wanted to return to stock so I could upgrade my firmware which I skipped last time. However, I must have messed up something through the last process and when I tried to "Return to Stock" in the root tool, I get the following errors.

-Flashing boot.img...

error: cannot load 'recovery.img'

-Flashing recovery.img...

error: cannot load 'recovery.img'

-Flashing system.img...

error: cannot load 'system.img'

-Rebooting...

rebooting...

finished. total time: 0.010s

It removed my launcher but I don't think it returned it to stock. Adb is still running and I have to stop it to get to MotoCast. When I go to motocast to update my firmware, the motoactv reboots to recovery mode. The first time, I thought it returned to stock so I proceeded to the rest of the process but it doesn't allow you to install ClearDroid either and states install is failed.

All I did different the last time before this happened was pushing that contactsfix zip file, trying to install the pw30apk and installing Launcher pro through adb instead of ClearDroid.

Does anyone know why I am unable to return to stock now? I had been able to do it before but not anymore.
[Other SmartWatches] vwo05:
Ok, I may have screwed this up even more trying to get it to return to stock. I clicked the "Restore Data" button in the root tool and loaded the boot, recovery, and system image when it prompted me. Now my motoactv has been stuck on the motorola logo for the past hour. What should I do to fix this so I can load bah into a launcher ? I tried the fixes explained in the wiki comands but with no success.
[Other SmartWatches] bigm79:
has anyone tried updating to the latest software 1.7.3?

im on 1.6.13 but motocast kept saying "the software update was not successful"

i have rooted and return to stock. able to update from 1.6.6 to 1.6.13. but not from 1.6.13 to 1.7.13.

also anyone have the 1.6.6 A8 stock image?

my set is the asia pacific set.
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
A MotoACTV containing an untouched stock ROM can be upgraded through MotoCast. I believe the lastest official ROM is version 1.7.2 (shown as 7.2 on the MotoACTV web site). When ClearD creates his modified ROM (please correct me if I'm wrong, ClearD) he takes one of those stock ROMs and enriches it (details on the wiki under the ROM section as to what is added). ClearDroid 1.1.3A is a modified stock ROM version 1.6.13. Once the MotoACTV has been modified it's not possible to update through MotoCast. If you return to stock to update to the lastest stock ROM and then install ClearDroid 1.1.3A, it will replace the stock 1.7.2 with a modified 1.6.13 ROM. Actually, I have no idea if 1.7.2 can be rooted?

If you want to return to stock have a look at CEnnis91's page. Moreover, the wiki contains more details in the FAQ at the bottom of the page.

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

Get into recovery, use a 'ADB reboot recovery' command. Do you have a ClearDroid ROM on your SDCard still? If not you'll have to push the ClearDroid zip onto the SDCard using ADB. Once in recovery do a wipe data/factory reset, clear cache and advanced -> wipe dalvik cache. Then apply update from SDCard etc., the same process as before. Good luck.
[Other SmartWatches] bigm79:
if 1.7.2/1.7.3 cannot be rooted.

i dont mind staying stock with 1.7.2/1.7.3.

and updated from 1.6.0.

but the updates are incremental.

i.e. motocast will first update to 1.6.7. then from 1.6.7 u have to check for new software and then motocast will update to 1.6.13. from 1.6.13 i tried to update to 1.7.3 but failed.

apparently one guy from the morotola forums managed to update to 1.7.3 by restoring to a previous backup. i do not have any backups at all. but i tried to make a backup from the root tool and then restore to it. but motocast is unable to initialize with my device.

i would really like to get the device up to date as i will be using it mainly for running. rooting was just a spur of the moment to have a bit of fun. would greatly appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this.
[Other SmartWatches] vwo05:
I should still have the ClearDroid zip on my rom. When I use the 'ADB reboot recovery' command, it states no devices found. Typing ADB devices also does not return the device serial number, just states 'List of devices attached'. My motoactv won't do anything now except get stuck on the motoactv logo. All of this happened after I tried the restore data option in the root tool.
