ANT Radio Service

Hi, there !

Do you know the ANT Radio Service by ANT Wireless on the Google Play ?

In the description, it supports Motorola MOTOACTV.

You can also get the files from the developers page as Android_ANT_SDK_20120625.zip.

I installed Android_ANTRadioService_3-0.apk to the /system/app,

and Android_AntPlusDemo_2-4.apk to /data/app, then wipe cache & Dalvik cache

and reboot.

When I launched the Ant+Demo, but it warns ANT not supported.

So I searched the internet, I found some files are included in the Sony Ericsson

Xperia series. I extracterd the files from CM7. They are,

system/app/AntHalService.apk

system/etc/permissions/com.dsi.ant.antradio_library.xml

system/framework/com.dsi.ant.antradio_library.jar

system/lib/libanthal.so.

But now, Ant+Demo stopped "Enabling ANT+".

Any idea ?

Amazon Appstore for APKs over 30megs

Just dropping some info for any impending google searches on the subject related to APKs over 30megs and trying to download them from Google Market.

I tried to download Battleheart which clocks in at 45megs in size. I should have known I was going to run into problems when the product info page stated in capital letters that some devices like the Galaxy S have problems downloading the app, stating theres insufficient space for the download. I decided to give it a go anyway and ran into the same problem, the MotoActv doesn't like APKs larger than 30 megabytes. Luckily I was able to refund the purchase, and the dev's FAQ stated other users have bypassed this issue by downloading the app from the Amazon App store. I'm happy to confirm that this worked, and installed without fail.

This is definitely a plus, and seems to sidestep Google Market's device requirements for installation, as I was able to install quite a few apps I couldn't back on google's marketplace. The downside is that it's caveat emptor in this respect, however you can always have a go with the "lite" version first before making a final purchase if one is available.

Now all I need is to find a way to get the accelerometer to work in ClearD's rom and I think I could crown D's rom the king for micro-gaming. It's definitely the best for very resource hungry games like Shadowgun or Dead Trigger, but having the accelerometer would open the doors for a few more staple games I've been missing.

Oh yeah, just a quick edit about Grand Theft Auto 3 on the MotoActv. After purchasing and doing the 414 meg asset download I was sad to find my screen was black, however the game appeared to be running with all the button and map overlays present. The fix was quite simple, go into the display settings, turn the level of detail to low and disable the realtime effects. Draw distance can remain on the far end as it doesn't affect the game's speed in this case. Also, to gain a smoother framerate, mount your motoactv or use root browser to move all the music tracks to a separate folder outside of the AUDIO directory. They clock in between 8 and 10 megs each, so just set the list type by size to make things easier. You should notice a considerable speed increase, and this can be taken farther by removing all the sounds entirely, which is what I have done as I don't game with headphones on anyway.

This works for a number of games, particularly ones that stutter when sounds are played, for instance Age of Zombies or Zombie Dash. In Zombie Dash, the game pauses to play jumping sound effects, or shotgun sound effects. Simply disabling sound and music makes the game silky smooth. For games that still stutter even with sound disabled in the preferences, like Age of Zombies, just copy the APK to your desktop, rename it to a ZIP file and explore the contents to remove all the sound files. Revert the filename back to APK and reinstall for smooth gaming :)

definitely not for runners

I have to strongly recommend against the MotoACTV for any real runners out there.

Personally I really like the device, except for one very fatal flaw:

(from https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/82519/p/8199,8200#w3)

I've had great battery life, run 17 miles with it, kept the screen on the whole time (running in predawn hours it's fantastic not having to find a light button) and had over 40% battery when done. The GPS quality is very good, usually less than 30 seconds or so to locking. I don't use the MotoACTV website, as I have a script that automatically grabs the data and converts it ready to post to runkeeper (or any other decent site) and I'm working on a way to automate that completely.

But during my first 12 mile run with the MotoACTV my "music" button got stuck on, and I couldn't navigate away from the music menu. Ok, I disabled the music button. Next run Volume UP got stuck. Disabled that. Then the "back" button on the screen became flaky. Sent it in for repairs, got it back a little more than a week later. First run with it (15 miles) was fantastic. Next run my HR strap quit connecting. Next run same. Didn't take it on the next run since it was too frustrating. Next run (17 miles) the "back" button on the screen kept getting triggered, and it self-navigate back to the main watch page. I couldn't tap the screen fast enough to get the workout page back up fast enough to see how far I'd run. Very frustrating. Of course the "workout" button had stopped working so I couldn't just press it to get back, and there was no way to stop the workout in the end except turn off the MotoACTV.

So I have now disabled volume up, music, and mapped volume down to workout, and it is still totally unusable after a few miles.

I'm sure all of this is because I have the audacity to sweat while I'm working out.

So Friday my Garmin 910 is arriving and my MotoACTV will be a very cute little paper weight.
[Other SmartWatches] stoudamire:
I can understand your frustration, but fortunately my experience as a "real runner" is better than yours. Currently, I run about 80km per week.

I´ve had some problems with the so-called "music player freakout" but changing to a non-motorola headset resolved it (https://forums.motorola.com/posts/afa48ade91).

The only real drawback for me is the portal which is kind of useless as it is missing some basic functions. The only good part is the planning function. Therefore, I use the portal only for planning interval workouts.

@freefly: Are you continuing to work on the automatic script?

Have fun with your new Forerunner.

I received yesterday the motoactv. I'm very happy with it. I flashed Dproldan ROM very easily.

My target is run with Spotify offline in the background and that's what I tried first. The current version of Spotify from the Play market gives me a white screen and I can't make it work.

Thankfully I had in my HDD the previous version just before the big update that changed the whole interface. I's perfect and i'ts ok in the tiny screen.

I can share it to you if anyone needs it:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzaMP518F9_8eUlkVUkxRXNmbUU

That's how it looks like:
[Other SmartWatches] x999x:
new verswion works fine. are you connected to wifi on its initial launch? The white screen fades out to reveal the interface.

Is it landscape view like that by default on that version? Or is it because you have Dprolan's rom installed? The new version opens up to portrait view (sideways) when looking at the watch normally. Not a deal breaker, but I'd consider switching to get back to landscape view.

Disassembling Your MOTOACTV

I made quick video on how to Disassembling Your MOTOACTV

i did this as it got wet and died after cleaning it is up and running.
[Other SmartWatches] king conan:
Yes I have Dproldan ROM, does it have more problems with apps than the other ROM?

And yes the current spotify changes to portrait but I can't login because I only see a white screen...

What I haven't tried is to update spotify from the working version.

Other weird issue is that wifi disconnects and it's a pain to download playlists... Is it possible to force the wifi connection to keep it on?
[Other SmartWatches] superdave:
Attached is a custom service for the MOTOACTV that will export the workout data table to a TCX file on the SD Card. The TCX file will be automatically created every time a workout ends and will be named with the unique id of the workout. This app is a work in progress, try at your own risk.

,Dave

Update: Service now exports Garmin TCX file.

Added export app to manual export workouts.

Update2: Version 1.2.

Lap Heart Beat Average skipped if 0.

Skip Lat/Lon if not valid

Version 1.3

Corrected naming of auto entered lap.

[Other SmartWatches] x999x:
I'm thinking of trying the version of Spotify that you posted, it may work in landscape orientation for me as I don't have the accelerometer active in ClearD's rom. The current version of Spotify does work with ClearD's rom.

As for app/rom compatibility, I'm not certain that there are specific reasons why some apps work more reliably for me with ClearD's Rom, but it's just been the case thus far. I have tried DProldan's rom twice now, and although it is much more robust as a whole, I just can't get some games to work on it. That's not a big deal for most of the users here, however for me, my motoactv is more for recreation and I enjoy using it mostly for games.

If you are using the latest 8.1 version of DProldan's rom, it should have wifi working just fine, although I think it mentions it cuts off at 10 minutes as he intended it to. There should be a post in that same thread which has a modified "services.jar" file and instructions on how to push it to the watch so that wifi stays on until you elect to turn it off (which works better for spotify.)

---

Edit

Just installed your version of Spotify, it does work in landscape more by default. Its definitely not as pretty as the updated spotify, but it is a little easier on the eyes in landscape. I'll give this a go for a while and see which version I prefer.

Does anyone have any suggestion/opinion about what you think is the best Bluetooth earphones device for workout using motoactv ?

I had one from Motorola that stopped work probably because of the sweat... the device was the MOTOROKR S305 and I really don't recommend it... I had 2 of them that just stopped with no explanation in a short period of time (2 months).... thanks in advance!
[Other SmartWatches] atsic:
Tried the one that automatically does everything. Unfortunately I have some problem on my device. Have old workouts with wrong date 12/2012, being a future date i think it takes always this one as last workout to export.

Tryed the other app, the Motoactv_export.apk in order to pick up the workout i need. Installed it through adb but when i launch it (adb shell start Motoactv_export.apk) gives me an error. It says Error: activity not started unable to resolve Intent.

Am I doing something wrong??? Is there any other way to start the app???
[Other SmartWatches] superdave:
atsic,

I do rely on the the content provider to give me the latest activity id, but, could change this to manually find the last one if people have issues with future activities. I updated the above thread, but, to start the manual app without a launcher use

adb shell am start -n com.sdsoft.motoactv_export/com.sdsoft.motoactv_export.MainActivity

[Other SmartWatches] atsic:
Thanks to your help I managed to start the app. I did a full wipe anyway so I will not have problem with future workouts. I'm not going to sync it anymore with motoactv portal, is useless!!!

Thanks a lot for your work, it really changed the future perspectives of this device! Should start a new tread just for this app!!!

The best would be also have the chance to be able to plan training and upload them on the device avoiding Motoactv portal.... but i think this is just dreaming... ;)

The latest update turns a non-golf 8GB MotoACTV into a golf edition. You can go from 1.7.11 to 1.7.12

Either somebody at motorola made a huge mistake or they decided to merge both golf and non-golf updates. Strange, because the golf edition with 1.7.10 cannot be updated to 1.7.12 yet.

I thought about it a little and realized the likelihood of it being a mistake is quite slim; the updater-script needs to check the sha1sums of the files it updated. I do agree that something is not right about this situation leaving the 1.7.10 versions behind; hopefully we will have more information shortly.

fastboot problems

Somehow, I cannot use both, ADB and fastboot, on my MotoACTV despite it functioned before.

I´m using WIN7 64BIT. I´m quite sure this is driver related as I can use ADB and fastboot with my other android devices.

What have I tried so far:

1. Uninstall and reinstall Motocast and Motorola device manager

2. Uninstall Motocast and Motorola device manager and only reinstall Motorola device manager

3. Install modified ADB drivers as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1454685

4. Factory reset

Any further ideas?

Once this guy is rooted and/or rommed, how functional is it in relation to stock?

I use RunKeeper a lot and from all of my Googling, it seems like you can use the MOTOACTV and export/import into RK, but it seems a bit hokey. I can continue to use my phone and it's inherent GPS issues (which aren't terrible) or I could pick up a new MOTOACTV since I'm a geek.

Would I be unsatisfied by a stock MOTOACTV and regret the decision? Would rooting/romming it be the answer? Should I stick with my Evo? LOL
