I apologize I wasn't able to assist you with this problem. I have been out of town all weekend and JUST got back home. I am glad to see that you got the issue resolved. I'm curious as to why it wouldn't work when you double clicked the bat, That's what I do and it runs fine. Maybe Right click and Run as Admin?
[Other SmartWatches] NORCALkID:
I love this damn watch
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Okay, okay. How'd you do it. I can't get mine to look that sexy. :) Directions?

Is that a GOLauncher Theme?
[Other SmartWatches] killerb777:
not a problem. if it wasn't for all your hard work on the actv, we wouldn't have these capabilities. I found it odd it didn't work too. maybe its the way win7 has the directories setup. *shrug* All is good now though. thx
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
Woohoo! 500th post.
[Other SmartWatches] NORCALkID:
Not to dificult just have to sit down and fix setting to your liking im using go launcher and made it so when i swipe up it gets rid of the dock . Also made the the home screens 5 x10 (this number can be less i just moved it to that) so i could move and adjust my widgets better.

The date and clock widget is one called ClockQ and this one has a lot of settings and font styles you can try.

The bottom widget is minimal text and im using it to check the status of my battery. This also has a lot of settings you can mess with to your liking.

The last is background .. I used picspeed it has a database like zedge. Has very nice backgrounds . I personally liked all the abstract ones.

Both the widgets have a purpose besides telling time and battery . the clock one i use to get to settings and the bottom battery one to access the stock text notification app.

And yes im using an ics theme on go launcher:)

Woot! Got it today, just hacking it now (straight from box to hack, muahaha)

Wish me luck!

Edit: Gah, I'm stuck on part 3. Everything goes great until it starts running the exploit and it tells you to wait a few minutes. I never do see "enjoy" pop up on the screen, it doesn't appear to be doing anything. I can still wake the device. I'm gonna keep fiddling with it...
[Other SmartWatches] NORCALkID:
Theres a part when it gets stuck you have to disconect and reconnect the device
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Arg, nevermind, I got it working, User error :rolleyes:

Now to work on getting a launcher installed.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Good call. I've not yet figured out how to make the computer disconnect and reconnect the device for us... so it's sort of stuck that way for now. :(

The exploit ends, then it won't do any other commands until we disconnect and reconnect. A simple adb reboot or something won't work... it apparently is something they needed to fix in the exploit itself that never got done?

Accelerometer-activated display

HI

Is there an application or a solution using the accelerometer to activate the dimmed screen through the routine what-is-the-time-now wrist rotation ?

This could be the perfect alternative to the always-on screen that wastes a lot of power and prevents the use of the MA as an everyday watch.

CWMR ported

Hello,

I have ported CWMR 5.0.2.7 to the Motoactv (F100) device.

#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/

The procedure for this is as follows. You MUST have working adb knowledge to use this and you must be able to restore using the available tool should any problems arise. This is considered an ALPHA release that may need additional work. I did not have access to the device during the port so all testing was done through TheEndGame7. THERE MAY BE ISSUES, you are warned.

1) Download this file: CWMR5x_F100_recoveryA.img

2) adb push CWMR5x_F100_recoveryA.img /data/local/

3) adb shell (become root)

4) dd if=/data/local/CWMR5x_F100_recoveryA.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p13

5) exit adb from the device

6) adb reboot recovery (you should be in CWMR now)

The source for the device config is here. Please feel free to go wild with development on this because I do not have the device and likely won't be contributing much more except bug fixes. If you use this source, please give credit where it's due.

NOTE: there are missing images(known). This is because the ramdisk is EXTREMELY finicky on this device and it WILL NOT BOOT past 3.66mb in size. I trimmed out things that weren't needed in order to make this work. The basic functionality you need should be there. adb is also not functioning properly yet within recovery.

Enjoy :-)

P.S: Got my new replacement :-D Should start contributing soon :-)
[Other SmartWatches] nosit1:
Few questions: What did you do to initiate the replacement?

Any hassle?

How long did they take to replace it?
[Other SmartWatches] tansoftware:
Noth'n much really... E-mailed the on line store I bought it from. They referred me to Motorola's service hotline. Called the service center, acted extremely dumb when they asked me about firmware upgrades & fastboot :-P They confirmed it was a hardware failure, Motorola sent a service ticket to the on line merchant. Contacted the online merchant for a replacement, they sent me a RMA form with instructions on how to return the item. Three days later got confirmation that they received the defective watch and that they had shipped the new replacement one. Just got it today afternoon :-) All in all, it took a week.
[Other SmartWatches] nosit1:
Time to play dumb man again on the ticket system!
[Other SmartWatches] tansoftware:
Yeah... But the real challenge now is to figure out why this failure happened and to avoid it while testing our rom builds. And should it happen again, how to fix it without returning the watch...
[Other SmartWatches] ydaraishy:
Was it a charge/power failure or was it something else?

It will be interesting to see what happens when using a Motorola factory cable with the device and fastboot battery usage...

i have some questions

with using a cdma verizon galaxy nexus, is the apk working for notification of text, caller id, google apps like gtalk and similar?

im hearing conflicting reports and would like to know for sure.

thanks
[Other SmartWatches] NORCALkID:
Text notifications work when synced to the phone app... caller I'd only works on most when you plug a wired headset to the motoactv. The motoactv apk does not work with gtalk and similar as far as I know. In order for the apk to work on your gnex need to find a hacked apk

MotoACTV Root Tool Version 1.1.0

Update:

-Automatically installs clockworkmod recovery during root process :)
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
Good job, the update is looking great. I will be releasing a newer version of my batch script later tonight. Unless we have any major developments, it will probably be my last update since ClearD is making great progress, and I don't have as much time as before since classes started.

The latest version will ditch SuperOneClick and manually root the device and install busybox, install the custom recovery, adds reboot into recovery under tools menu, and fixes a few typos.

[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
So for us who have already rooted it we just reroot it? Or unroot it then reroot it? Thanks in advance!
[Other SmartWatches] NORCALkID:
If you look on he motoactv bounty page their are instructions on how to do it through adb or you can also wail till jay post the updated easymodder script
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
If you're rooted, you can either run jay's flash-recovery script, or just re-root, which won't hurt a thing either. No need to unroot, but if you do, be sure to make a backup first.

[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Thanks, that's what I was wondering.
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
Dunno if this is a bug: Installed recovery via Jay/ClearD Motoactv tool, rebooted, poked around, rebooted (via ADB stop) to remount and add a zip.....and then nothing. No backlight, no splash logo, charge light on when plugged into PC but light off when plugged into charger. Held Power for 3, 5, 10, 20 seconds. Power + Vol down. Power + Vol up. Power + Start....and finally Power + Music (which finally booted up).

Weird.

anyway, re-installed Gapps (CM7 package) but no deal. still force closes. Mount SD via recovery didnt work either. I had to ADB push the file.

Off topic: My Motoactv was properly installed on 2 PC's (driver wise)and would properly mount when ADB was stopped but now my laptop wont install the Motoactv (fails to find the drivers to install...even tho it was working prior).

Annoying.
[Other SmartWatches] Jimmy586:
Well, it looks like someone has listened... I didn't see a thread anywhere else, so I'll post it here, some one has rooted the motoactv. the story, along with a link to a how to is available, just google it. I was gonna post a link, but I can't.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Itslame, there are bugs with just about everything you posted there, I will explain when I go home.

Jimmy, have you even read this thread? I mean I'm on my phone so I can't see everything, but... Really?

I'm going to continue the trend, like everyone else on this page and use the same quote... The device was rooted awhile ago, we have since created tools, posted tips, remapped buttons, and even created a custom recovery. Like everyone else, I would strongly suggest reading the full thread.

Here's the latest batch script! Side note, this is my 100th Post! ^__^

To install the Custom Recovery (Credits goto utkanos) Goto Restore -> Recovery -> custom -> recovery.img

I ditched SuperOneClick to save space in the zip, and just used the zergRush Exploit (Credits goto Exploid Team). There is a known issue where the exploit freezes after it says "Killing ADB server and restarting as root... Enjoy". At this point, you need to unplug the USB cable and plug it back in for the script to continue.

Alright. Where to begin...

To stop ADB on the device after rooting, plug it into the computer and open an ADB command prompt, then type

adb shell stop adbd

That will allow you to access the USB mass storage on the device.

The code to reset the device when it malfunctions, aka the "battery pull code" is to hold Start + Power for 7 seconds. The device will shut off and you can restart with the power button.

Google Apps DO NOT WORK. Period. There is NO working google apps zip or market for this device yet. The googleservicesframework and vending apks WILL force close on you. Repeatedly. And many more errors will occur. To stop that, you'll need to manually uninstall the installed apk's through jay's script. That's the easiest way.
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
Just to clear any confusion... If you installed the GApps zip and are now getting the force closures, you may PM me for a script to uninstall the GApps. It is not built into my batch file, it is a separate batch file I created for testing.
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Nice work!

I'm assuming there's no untethered way to enter recovery yet (ie: button press on bootup)
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Rom Manager's "reboot into recovery" button works for some, but I can't guarantee all.
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
If you followed my GScripts post awhile back, you can create a script to reboot into recovery.

Plug in USB cable

Stop ADB (This enables Mass Storage)

Open My Computer

Open MotoACTV (Not the CDRom partition)

Open gscripts folder (If it's not there, download the zip from my GScripts post)

Create a new Text file named RebootRecovery.sh (Remove the .txt extension)

Open it with notepad type "reboot recovery" (No quotes) and close and save it.

Unplug USB cable

Open GScripts

Press Menu

Add Script

Load Script

Click RebootRecovery.sh

You can now open GScript and tap on RebootRecovery.

I thought the Battery code sequence that worked for me involved Power+Music but I could be mistaken. There was a lot of swearing involved, LOL!

My ADB command wasnt "ADB stop", I typed out the full command. I abbreviated it for the post.

Gapps was just a stab in the dark. I had no expectation of it really working. My previous attempt resulted in cert auth failures when trying to load the individual apks vs installing the entire zip via recovery. Less FC's than before but still present. Oh well.

mounting the SD via recovery...yea or nea?

I got the same problem with same programmes

wish someone could help
[Other SmartWatches] killerb777:
I wonder if its because of a missing app its associated with (even though gmaps is installed) or a 3g data connection. I believe all these other apps work off of gmaps while allsports gps uses its own maps, works offline with no data needed and installs fine.
[Other SmartWatches] d2tw4all:
This may sound dumb but...

Forgive my android ignorance, and I'm glad we have a custom recovery, but can someone explain just what having recovery actually does for us??? Clearly it has value since so many asked for it and there was a bounty and all, but I have no understanding of what having the recovery now actually gives us...

Tom
[Other SmartWatches] NORCALkID:
Having a recovery is being one step closer to fully customizing this device it allows us to flash custom roms/kernels and make backups of roms install updates and such. Makes life more simple when it comes to installing stuff also if the devs get usb support with recovery in theory it will make our devices a little less brickable. I think :)

The recovery is still in alpha so if you are not sure dont mess with it untill we can get use out of it... Its functional but dev may be working on it more
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Correct, Norcal. The current recovery is in alpha stage, it works for making backups, but cannot flash to the device or restore backups yet. If you try either of those, you'll need to restore through the root tool to get your device out of the bootloop that it currently causes. Utkanos and CEnnis91 are working hard on figuring out the problem, and I've got an early alpha Rom set up for us with speed tweaks and lots of includes. Need it to be able to flash, though. ;)

New Motoactv ver 5.0

Hi

There is a new update in the MA site,ver 5.0 , in a rooted device, can we upgrade safely?

thanks

NA
[Other SmartWatches] NORCALkID:
Just like any other update ... Will probably break root and if you try it at your OWN RISK also theis is NO active devs looking for ways to root this thing so if you do loose root you are sol
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Correct, but we'll need to find a root for it anyways, as it's going to be the same for all future versions and everyone new that comes here will update to it.

If it keeps android version 2.3.4 and doesn't lock the bootloader, we should still be golden. I think TEG is testing that right now, as he has an extra unit to mess with.

Hi

I used the Motoactv root tool (return to stock), all went well, I ran the original setup but when I connect it to my PC or Mac , it is not recognized at all, I uninstalled the original software from the PC but I'm not able to install it again, the PC and MAC cant see it even as a disk,

Can you help

[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
As stated about 5 times already in this thread, open an ADB command prompt and type:

adb shell stop adbd

or just "Stop ADB" from Jay's script. Either one should work. :)
[Other SmartWatches] SOGJC:
Someone know how to revert to stock, like when I first open it?

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] nosit1:
All it will do its help out bugs in the software most likely for people that are using the Motoactv like we are. Haha.
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
Negative. Stopping ADB allows me to mount the drive. Windows detects it properly and loads the drivers. Start ADB and it wont recognize it again. No biggie, I have another PC that will recognize it so I can run ADB on that one...it just sucks cause my laptop is what I use to root devices so I have to transfer tools back and forth.
