Getting my MA on Saturday. Did I join the party too late :D

Whats everyones favorite rom, Cleardroid or DPRom?
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
It's never too late, especially since there's not a better option for a smart watch out there yet.

Cleardroid is very stable, and maybe slightly snappier, whereas DPRom has more features (like working accelerometer in apps), but slightly less stable; I get this weird bug from time to time when I turn my screen on it looks all funky, like the refresh rate is off. A quick off on for the screen and it's back to normal, so I'm not too annoyed by it, worth the tradeoff for the other benefits imo.
[Other SmartWatches] carnagecjb:
Any idea if there are any plans to update either of these ROMs to the newest version of the software?
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
OK, got my MA. I'm looking at the Root tool and the options are:

1) Version 4.55.78 or 4.55.97

2) Version 1.6.0, 1.6.6, 1.6.7, 1.6.12, or 1.6.13

3) Version 1.7.2 or 1.7.3

Mine is on version 4.57.71. From what ive read I presume I can use option 1, right? I could update the MA but, it would then be on 4.57.78.

EDIT:

Just use option 1 and it will install :)

Hi Guys,

my motoactv got rained on, and suffered a big outage. It's working again now, but the battery is clearly toast lasting about 2hr idle. Moto are completely terrible and don't seem to support this product properly. All I want is a new battery, I can't seem to find whether anyone has found a 3rd party battery which fits.

If im wrong, pls let me know, i'd really appreciate it.

thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] dsmithuk:
batteries...

cracked it open, this seems to be the closest...

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/669510912/rechargeable_3_7V_small_lithium_polymer.html

trouble is the minimum order quantity ...
[Other SmartWatches] aiiro:
If You cracked it open, could You give the exact measurements in millimeters and maybe a picture (so that it's clear how the wiring goes), so others who will have the same problem in the future can search on their own? Maybe in the future there will be more options, and probably many people produce more relevant search results anyway. Just a suggestion, I think it's reasonable...
[Other SmartWatches] dsmithuk:
measurements were 37mmx16mmx5mm. theres a youtube on pulling the motoactv apart. I just used a credit card down the sides to gently lever the screen out.
[Other SmartWatches] aiiro:
OK, thanks, found it. I saw that the battery had some texts on the bottom side (on white paper), I guess those were not any help while searching for the replacement? In theory it should be possible to track down the factory that makes those and they are probably not making these only for MotoActv...

tip* if you press back button/arrow you will get launcher choice, so you dont need to remap the home key ;)

(i´m just saying cause i cant find this anywhere and this may help some people):p

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i notice that the feature "turn three times your arm and screen stay on " is only working on stock launcher.

1st question, is only on my device that this happens??

2cond question, is there any way to use it on other launchers ??

Square app

Dunno if anyone really cares but Square app works on the MotoACTV if you have a wifi connection and the card reader plugged into the audio jack. I'm a small business owner so I could see this coming in handy to take a payment as a last resort if my phone wasn't working for some reason. Might be a little difficult for the customer to sign their signature on the tiny touch screen but it's still functional.

(Running DPROM & Launcher Pro Plus).
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
I've never been able to use any audio input application. Doesn't Square use audio in to read cards?

hello i was trying to root my motoactv using this http://motoactv.wikispaces.com/guide-root guide.

i downloaded the tool and i started following the instructions but every time i try doing anyithing (for example task 1 "flash modified boot image") or run in the prompt these commands

- fastboot devices

- fastboot flash boot boot.img

- fastboot reboot

it says "waiting for the device" and it does nothing i think my computer doesn't recognise motoactv when in fastboot (it doesn't say it's connected or something like that) while when it's normal mode i ask me what to do with it

do you think i need some drivers?maybe it's windows 8 that can't run the root tool or the motoactv properly?

my software version is 4.55.97

Would you buy a MOTOACTV today?

Hello everybody,

Would you buy a motoactv today?

I am aware of battery issues, waterproof, lack of support, etc..

I normally use my Android phone + Endomondo but I've always liked the MotoACTV solution. (Smaller than a phone, watch, android, MP3 player, GPS built-in, Bluetooth, HRM ANT+ ready...)

Is it possible to run Endomondo on rooted motoactv? Are there any bugs? Does it work properly? I really like endomondo and that could be the reason to root this brilliant device. At this point, I wouldn't try to use the stock MotoACTV software as I already have all data on Endomondo. The future of MotoACTV website is really unclear and it concerns me.

Thank you for any response

Hello, my motoactv will not charge, go into recovery, or boot up whatsoever. When i plug it in to the wall the light shoes for a split second, when I plug it in to my computer the light shows for about 15 seconds, or until I hold start and power for 7 seconds to attempt to boot into recovery.

[Other SmartWatches] richdaley:
I am thinking the same thing as you. I am also in the market for one of these and I am wondering what apps will work. I am a pretty experienced Android "rooter/ROMer" and I a guessing that I can get it working. I also like mapmyrun and I am progressing through the couch to 5k and 5k to 10k running programs. I am feeling pretty confident that these apps will all work if the device is rooted with app installer, market etc installed. It is pretty much exactly the same as any other Android device (ARM processor, GPS, etc) so the only problem I can imagine is if the apps are restricted to certain screen sizes. I have seen videos of people running NES emulators and playing Angry Birds so I am feeling pretty good about it running my workout programs. I am bidding for one on eBay. If I get one, I will let you know.
[Other SmartWatches] Runner2k:
Pretty good.

Can you send me a PM in case you buy and root the MotoACTV?

Endomondo is all I would need.

the main appeal of the Motoactv for me is that it combines my love for wierd watches with my love for wierd computer form factors. Also, it reminds me quite a bit of the Q-Watch and the **** Tracy watch, too, both of which are things i'd love to see defictionalized.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Is everyone here still asking the same questions that have been answered months before? :)
[Other SmartWatches] carnagecjb:
Actually, the thread seems to have pretty much died, which is a shame, now that I've actually gotten a MotoActv myself.

I haven't gotten around to rooting or flashing it yet, I'm kind of on the fence about going backwards with the versioning, and being unable to update if they release a newer version...

Any idea if there will be any substantial updates to any of the ROMs?

[Other SmartWatches] x999x:
Just realized you can use the motoactv to create ad hoc wifi networks. My motoactv use really tapered off once the novelty wore off, but finding this one critical use has had it on my wrist every day :)

Why would this matter? For me, I got an iphone 5 and lost my jailbreak that allowed me to share my 3g with my iPad via the MyWi app. Thanks to a few sneaky apps that made it into the App Store like DiscoRecorder, HandyLight or FlashArmy that have secret tethering abilities, I'm once again able to share my 4g from my iphone 5 to my ipad. The problem is that you need a computer to create an adhoc network for the "magic" to happen. This isn't always possible when traveling as I like to travel light, so over the holidays I gave Barnacle a go on the motoactv to see if I could use that in place of a computer/laptop. After about 10 minutes of tinkering, it worked! Now that the network settings are cached I can be up and tethering in less than 10 seconds, 5 of which is just switching the Barnacle server on and off to get the iDevices to pair up.

Barnacle is free in the play store, pm me if you have any questions. This also works on rooted nook simple touch, which you can pick up refurbed for 49 bux from b&n's ebay shop.
[Other SmartWatches] Mr. Argent:
My Motoactv 8gb has arrived! waiting for it to charge to 100% so i can root it and install google play/a more stockish launcher...
[Other SmartWatches] x999x:
Good deal on the 100% charge. I'm on my second motoactv because of that mistake, decided to dump another rom on it while at 60% and wound up in a loop. Ended up getting a 2nd motoactv in a shorter time than the dev cable from hong kong to revive the first one. Luckily both watches were heavily discounted on ebay, about $80 each. 1st watch is now spare parts, I wanted to see what was inside :p
[Other SmartWatches] Mr. Argent:
Agh, the Motoactv Root Tool just gets stuck on (waiting for device). please say i don't have to install any drivers for this, unsigned drivers are a PITA to install under this version of Windows...

[Other SmartWatches] Mr. Argent:
Ah, that will propably be it. I just sort of took the same approach as i did with my old Nook Tablet and went 'Hell, i'll never use the built-in stuff -- I just want the hardware!'...

EDIT : now the Motoactv is not acknowledging that it's connected over USB to my desktop at all... Windows makes the 'USB Connected' sound but there's nothing at all from the Motoactv's side. ADB/Fastboot work, though, as i managed to get DPRom installed.

I don't know if this has been answered or not, but I'd appreciate it if someone did:

After rooting and booting into clockwork recovery with my rom that I want to install (ClearDroid MotoACTV Version 1.1.3A),

I wipe doing the standard wipes, and then whenever i go to flash the rom, the text shows up normal and such, but when it gets to flashing the boot image, the phone reboots and hangs at the Motorola M symbol and sticks there.

Then I have to use the MotoACTV Root Tool to go back to stock. I haven't tried flashing another rom, but i plan to do it.

Did I miss something? Bad file? Im not really sure,

Headset Button Controller

Hey Guys.

I rooted my Motoactv and everything works that I need to, except for using "Headset Button Controller" to play and pause specific players (like beyondpod for example).

All that happens is the stock Motorola music player comes on. I tried editing the .kl files including changing Key 226 to MEDIA_NEXT but it did no good. I'm curious if there is any way to fix this so that "Headset Button Controller" can be used.
[Other SmartWatches] Atarii:

[Other SmartWatches] Boogerwooger:
Yes. The other thing that happens is when I long click it says "you have not selected a fit song yet".
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Working on my actv right now. Having to uninstall and reinstall motocast (ugh) to get things to work. But it might be worth it. Let's see what we can come up with, from the new base. Assuming I can get it installed tonight.

Agenda:

- Install new base

- Fastboot install CEnnis91/Utkanos' custom dev-cwm build

- Pull boot from dev-cwm

- Insecure boot + root + adb new base

- Pull new rooted base

- Create new Rom

- ?????

- Profit!

EDIT: Well, I did it a strange way, and now can't clear the misc.img's reboot-recovery, and am low on battery, so this is on hold until I get my factory cable out in a little bit and fix it. :)

EDIT 2: I think it finally cleared without having to use the factory cable (good news for me anyways), so I'm gonna take my 5% battery and let it charge for a good long while before trying to flash the rom I just made.
[Other SmartWatches] Boogerwooger:
I'm on the ClearDroid rom right now, and tried to find the solution to the going away wifi problems (especially due to me using dropsync to sync my beyondpod podcasts). Rather than having to factory reset and switch to the DProm, I'd like to see if I can stick with Cleardroid. I'd try dproldan's wifi fix but not sure where to put the .jar file... Do you know if this coming ROM will be able to address the wifi problem once and for all?
[Other SmartWatches] mikleinad:

ah, you're correct. the actual card reader does not work, even though when you plug it in the app recognizes that it's plugged in. The application itself does work though, meaning you can manually enter in credit card info and have the payment go through as long as you're connected to a wifi network.

Hey guys, so I'm on my winter break from school, so I might have a little extra time on my hands. (I haven't even picked up my Motoactv in a few months, as I don't have enough time to devote to it.) But with this little extra time, I was wondering if we were in need of updated stock images? I know Motorola has released quite a few updates (as well as updated source code to the kernel, if you guys hadn't seen), so I'm guessing my stock images probably require a few updates via Motocast at this point. I haven't checked through the forums, so maybe someone else has taken the reigns, just wondering if you guys need new updated stock images.

ClearD? dproldan?
[Other SmartWatches] Atarii:
Hey CEnnis91, good to see some more action in here again :D

Your latest stock images are 1.7.10 right? There's been 1.7.11 and 1.7.12 released, but they are exactly the same as 1.7.10. The only changes are the timestamps and version numbers in the build.prop.

I tried finding something for about an hour but this thread is one of the few dealing with the MotoACTV. I wonder if the Zombies Run support would be able to share details about what worked. I don't think that Matt over at the Moto forum is still interested in getting this worked into the standard software. Maybe someone else here can chime in what TTS could work or how ZR could be forced to recognize whatever TTS te MotoACTV has installed already.
