Yeah, I totally agree. It was size-mismatch issue..

And again, I'm using your batch file so many times. And it saved me lots of time. Many thanks!

Can you give me an idea of how you change the font to the one you suggest? Also, love to have details on how you set your dpi, others that have done it appear to have issues when the reboot where it reverts back to default. Thanks for the input, as far as the weather goes, it's charging and has radios on so I at least get the day's high/lows as well as the 5 day forecast which is fine for what I want.

Attached is a copy of the MotoACTV's boot animation. I'm not good with graphics, but maybe someone here is and wants to debrand this thing as much as I do... Have fun.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Alright guys, just read through 30 pages and ordered my ACTV tonight. I'll try to work on a ROM for the thing (no promises, but TRY), probably using Zeam launcher and possibly including a few apps cooked in, for anyone that wants it. It'll be a little while though, as I have to actually get my watch first lol.

I can't wait to get started on this thing. :)

Also, from Here, could we pull the recovery for a modder to work on, possibly?

And what would you like to see in the boot animation? I could whip up something simple right now, but it wouldn't be anything special...

I was considered taking this apart and messing with it, but works has been so hectic.

Jay4255 How do you tell if Busybox was installed? I can not get the density to change using LCD Density Changer..it stays @ 120.. any suggestions?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Began working on a boot animation... right now it's just a plain carbon fiber background though, there's no animation to it lol. Keep in mind, I'm not much of an image editor, but for those out there who are, I'll post the file.

The background uses 40 images total, numbered 00-39. In the zip I'm posting, I've got all 40 new images renamed and sized correctly to replace the stock ones. It was quite tedious, so I'm praying you guys like carbon fiber. :p

FWIW, the boot animation uses the "store" compression type (non-compressed) for everything inside it, so make sure you don't try to compress it when zipping. :)

I'll keep working on it.

Update: Modified one a bit, will be uploading the newer one, it's got 6 frames, 1 second interval between frames, for a total of 6 seconds, and it only plays once, rather than repeating, so it will stick on the last frame until it actually boots. If the interval is too long, please let me know and I'll shorten the delay to make it faster. Since I don't own one yet, I can't judge the time frame. :p

Andddd if that one's too messy, I can redo it in GIMP. It looks as though I may have lost some resolution during the jpg compression... :(

Also unsure if you can just straight replace it, or if it'll need pushed through adb...
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
On the watch, navigate to /system/xbin and busybox if it's installed, you'll see it in there. If it's not there, you can download the installer from the market on another device and transfer it over.

Nice work on the boot animation ClearD, glad someone is tinkering with it. I'm also working on a ROM, but I just started classes and don't have much time to play around with it.

I'm trying to return to stock but it still says waiting for device as if it is not in fastboot mode

I've got some loop here and no idea how to get out of it. I somehow crushed Boat Browser Mini and it happened. Here is a video how it looks like: tinypic.com/r/2cqieko/6

Sorry for the poor quality and shaking hands. There's an error saying that calendar app has crushed and it need to be closed.

I tried to get into safemode by pushing power and music at once, led blinked, a text "Safe mode" appeared and the loop went on and on.

If anyone could tell me how to fix it I'd be grateful.

I can provide any other detail you want.

Thanks in advance

Fastboot is volume down + power, hold them both until it shows the black screen. I can't view your links from my phone. Check the wiki for more information though.

Is there any way I could keep my fit music or copy those settings somehow or it'll be gone every time I use Return to stock option?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Returning to stock returns EVERYTHING to stock, no settings can be saved or kept, or else it wouldn't be stock. ;)

It uses full system images, not just individual files, to overwrite the entire partition on your device. :)

MOTOACTV Problem

Hello,

I have a very big problem with my motoactv, could anybody help me?

I buyed my unit a month ago, I rooted it, flashed a rom and it worked flawlessly. My problem began a few days ago, I charged it and after few hours I noticed that my motoactv won´t turn up.

I tried everything, wall charger, usb chargen in my PC but nothing seems to work.

With AC Wall charger:

I will show the M Logo, then shows a battery but nothings happen, y try to go in fastboot mode but it says low battery and after few seconds go down...

With USB

Nothing happens, only white led but nothing else....

I am very worried and I don´t know what to do...

Could antone help me??

Thank you in advance!!!!
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
I've seen that behaviour before. Just keep trying to recharge the battery. White led on is good. Fastboot mode is bad.

HELP!

Hi People

I have just scored a MOTOACTV from a friend. It doesn't boot, just sits on the "M" screen forever with the animation repeating, I tried for over five minutes. I have a bootloader 03.14 from holding "music+power" and from "sound up+power" (I know I'm supposed to use "sound down+power" but this does not get to a bootloader screen??) but the bootloader screen never says "fastboot".

I have tried Ubuntu and Windows and several versions of fastboot on both platforms and can't ever get it to be seen when I use "fastboot devices" and it sits waiting forever if I try to run "fastboot -w" or "fastboot flash boot boot.img".

I can do the "start+sound up+sound down+power" and it seems to get me reset, but I can't get fastboot to see it.

Any other tricks???

Thanks in advance!

Plug your unit into a wall charger or car charger (NOT to a computer), and see if it will charge some then. :)

It'll let you flash in fastboot mode without needing the device charged (it powers the device in fastboot mode, but doesn't CHARGE it). Once it's flashed properly again, you can charge it from the wall. :)

I got my MotoACTV today, and I've been trying to root it, and get android apps and stuff.

So I rooted it using the Root Tool by ClearD, and I installed launcher, but when I tried to

flash the images from the DPRom, in the command prompt it looked like most of it failed,

and now my MotoACTV is in a bootloop. I can turn it off, and boot fastboot, but when I try to

turn it on it is stuck at the Motorola logo.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Return to stock from the root tool as soon as you can, then charge back to 100% before going any further. Don't let your battery get too low or you'll be forced to buy a factory cable.

HELP Still stuck with no FASTBOOT MODE!

Hi Guys

I hate to bother you all, but I'm still stuck. My MOTOACTV still won't get to FASTBOOT MODE. I tried every combination of buttons and can get bootloader but no fastboot mode.

The other issue is that the MOTOACTV is stuck on "M" when I boot it!

Please help!
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
It's Volume Down + Power. Turn the device off, then hold them both while the device turns on. Keep holding them. The screen will flash once, then boot into fastboot mode. :)
[Other SmartWatches] feyd2blak:
Thanks for the response, appreciated!

When I do Vol Down + Power it immediately shows the "M" and then tried to boot. I say tries because I can't get it to boot all the way to android.

I do get a bootloader 03.14 with either Vol Up + Power and Music + Power. This seems weird to me after reading through the forum. It seems the older boot.img's had Start + Power as the trigger and, as you say, now it's Vol Down + Power.

Thanks again

and if I try to uninstall any APK I get this:

fixed the "more than one device and emulator" by terminating adb.exe.

Now I can uninstall, and remap (couldnt do that either), but I still cant install apps.

Hey guys, I got many more questions, so imma just try to sum everything up in this reply, instead of creating several replies.

At the moment, I am using the DPRom without too much problems, I've downloaded a few apps, but I haven't messed around with settings.

1. This is my second day with the MotoACTV, and I am noticing that the battery is draining really quickly. Even when I'm not using it. Any of you got any tips, or work arounds to make it last longer. Is it the ROM? :crying:

2. How can I get back to the normal launcher, when I set Zeam launcher as default. It will be nice to have the regular one, when I exercise.

3. When I turn adb off, to reach the SD card trough my computer, how do I turn it back on? :confused:

4. Are there any treads listing working apps for the Motoactv? I'd like to contribute with some I found out :angel:

5. I've just started to receive errors that there is no space left on the watch, when I try to install an APK. But MotoCast says I have 4,8 GB left. And I am sure, I havent used all the 8 gb. What to do?

6. Is there any ROM or APK that fixes the search crashing? Especially in browsers..

7. Is it possible to get the common android keyboard. I dont really like the Flit Keyboard.

8. Have anyone asked XDA admins to make a sub forum for Motoactv?

9. Anyone made a launcher where you have to unlock the watch first? I think it would be nice to turn on the watch just to see the watch, and if I wanted to use some apps I had to click/slide or something on the clock.

If I find a solution myself, I'll strike out the question and insert solution/answer.

Thanks alot for the help, I appreciate it.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
1. Dunno. Make sure you turn wifi and bluetooth off when you're not using them.

2. Don't set a default launcher. You'll need to find it in a settings menu somewhere to change it back if it's even there, which I doubt, so you may wind up having to wipe and reflash. I always tell everyone not to set anything as default. :p

3. Reboot the watch. :)

4. motoactv.wikispaces.com

5. The apps don't install to that area, it's internal. You can't use that memory for apps. Your app memory is full.

6. Market search APK will let you search the market, but other than that, no.

7. Maybe, but you won't be able to use it very well. I left the keyboard alone (stock) in mine for now.

8. Yes. It never got done. We have a smart watch sub forum area now though.

9. Yes. I think dproldan's reactive rom has a stock lock on it. Otherwise, you can download a lock app. :)

Never used rsd lite for the actv.

However, I am pretty sure the fastboot mode is in the bootloader, not the boot.img. Bootloader 3.14 should be volume down and power... Can you explain how you're trying it? You may have a corrupt bootloader...

Sent using XDA-funded carrier pigeons
[Other SmartWatches] feyd2blak:
Thanks for the reply.

"Bootloader 3.14 should be volume down and power" - The first thing I do is hold "Start + Power" until it shuts down, then if I try to hold "Vol Down + Power" the OS boots. If I hold "Vol Up + Power" I get into the botloader but no fastboot....very frustrating!

"You may have a corrupt bootloader" - I am beginning to think that too. I was hoping I could do something about it through either some bootloader command or through RSD. Is there a way of fixing a corrupt bootloader???

Here's hoping! ;)
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
The three people that might know would be cennis91, utkanos, or mbm. But sadly, I think that if you could get a bootloader, you'd probably need fastboot to flash it. Check xda for the Motoactv info thread and from there, check cennis91's thread. I think his stuff is flashable through rsd lite, but I'm not sure if it'll help you or not. You might have to send it back for a reflash from Motorola. :(

Thank you, I'll PM them with a request. It would be a pain if I had to send it to Motorola, and no doubt expensive!

How do you get Play Store on ReACTV rom? When I flashed the images I didn't have it. I tried installing the apk for it, but when I get the notification that I have to add a google account and I click "yes", I get returned to the home-screen..

In my opinion ReACTV is the best looking ROM so far :good:

Hi again,

Thanks for the help but....

I have made the cable, and it worked.... now I have reflashed the stock rom... the problem is that the i can´t charge it. I have tried from the wall and didn´t work. I have also tried with a normal microusb cable.

Any ideas??

Thanks!!
[Other SmartWatches] Jakmalmo:
Couldn't find this contacts fix anywhere :crying:

I installed this, and now I can get pass the "Add a device" message, but after I enter my username and password it just takes forever to log in, and after 2-3 minutes I get the error "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server". My Wi-Fi is good, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I guess we are on the right track, but a small thing is missing..
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
You can't charge with the factory cable. I've explained that a million times. It only works to reflash and your device will never charge from it (for those just reading this).

Using the stock cable that came with your actv, boot the device with it plugged into the wall charger. When the white charge light comes on during boot, it is charging.

Sorry, maybe i have not well explained. I knew that factory cable wont charge the device, my problem is that the original cable don't work too...

After the stockflashing with MOTOACTV ROOT TOOL i use the ac charger with original cable and I can see again the 5,20,60, 100% battery, then nothing happens...

I am in the same situation from last week...v:)

No, I have tried with different cables and AC chargers and no response....

I have made that:

Motoactv root tool.

Option Return to stock.

All was ok...

Then I have changed the cable... I tried to charge with wall charger and original cable but same thing at last week... only the battery issue.

When I try to charge through usb only white led... nothing else....

[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
If the white led is lighting up, that means it's charging. If the power is too low, it won't boot. Leave it charging for a while and come back to it. :)

Hi!

I don't have enough posts to post in the DPRom thread, but I have an install of DPRom9 on my Motoactv.

Yesterday I checked the battery usage for my MotoACTV running the ReACTV ROM, and a certain task stood out from the others.

"Cell-standby". In the picture I attached you can see it has used 81 percent of my battery.

As I understand after googling it, it has to do with connecting to mobile networks, 3G/GSM or something.

But as far as I know, MotoACTV can only connect to WiFI, so that would mean "cell-standby" is a waste of battery usage.

Is there any way I can disable it?

Well, now I tried to first put the watch into Airplane-mode, and then start WiFi while being in airplane mode, so that might work.

Also read a place that you could disable system apps by renaming from "test.apk" to for example "oldtest.apk.old", so I

downloaded Root Explorer, and used that trick on some of the stuff that was listed in system/app (Phone.apk, TelephonyProvider.apk

OK, yesterday I did a f****ng stupid thing. I managed to shower with my MotoACTV, because I forgot to take it off my wrist.

I showered with it for like 4 minutes, and then I noticed and got out and put the watch in some towels and let it try for 20 minutes.

The 3 first times I tried to turn it on, it just got stuck on the Motorola screen logo, so I had to force shut it down.

The fourth time I got it on, and it seemed like everything worked fine except for date & time was changed, and it looked like

some of the buttons was remapped. So I connect the watch to the computer, because I wanted to remap it back. Suddenly the

watch goes black and I can't get it on for a long time.

Later that day I connected it to the wallcharger, and I got into some sort of Bootloader, and thats what I get into now if I try to

boot it. When I turn it on it takes a while, and then the screen goes grey (like fastboot), and when I release the buttons I get this message:

I've tried to connect it to the computer, and the charging light goes on but the computer only recognize it as something new called

"SE Flash OMAP3630 MI", and when I go into attributes on it it says "Motorola Flash Interface". I cannot access the SD card, because it doesnt show up under My computer. If I type 'adb devices' it doesnt come on any list. And easy modder wont work, probably because it isnt recognized.

I feel so stupid, I've only had it for a few days, bought it for 160 $, I really like it, and now I might have broken it.

Please help me!! I think all I got to do is to get it proper connected to the computer so I can factory reset. Something is obviously working because it turns on and bootloader says everything is okay.
[Other SmartWatches] elkay:
It might be toast. Cardinal rule of wet electronics - when possible get the battery out ASAP (not an option here), and always leave the device powered down for at least 24 hours. You likely had some residual moisture still in the device that eventually shorted some contacts. You could try putting the watch in a zip-lock bag of rice or coffee grounds for a day or two and see if it can draw the last of the moisture out, or if you're feeling brave dissect it to check for moisture or burnt tracks/components (last ditch effort). Sorry man..

Battery in different ROMs

Does anyone have experience with battery life differences after installing a ROM? I'm new to MOTOACTV, willing to do the steps to root/etc but don't want to risk poorer battery performance as I use the watch for running. Which, if any, have the most positive impact on battery life, or are they basically all the same in that regard?

Thanks
