Thanks to Motorola's wonderful versioning with the Motoactv (/sarcasm) knowing what version has what can be a bit confusing. From what I understand the 1.6.6 (or Blur_Version.5.6.12) update found here: (http://bit.ly/HC0LaY) was the last version that gave the free Golf app access. I'm not quite sure what you mean by the updated version, if you mean that you can access it without a separate launcher, then YES this is that version. This particular ota was pulled by Motorola for obvious reason, and they swapped it quickly with a 1.6.7 version on April 16th (http://bit.ly/JLHaBo) (or Blur_Version.5.6.13 -- I think), but they never really announced it. However since then they've released another ota, which is still available for download 1.6.12 (http://bit.ly/KqUNJ6) (or Blur_Version.5.6.24) which I believe is the latest version as of this post.

If you are just worried about getting the latest version, don't worry there. The shortened version of how to update and root would be as followed: 1) flash the stock version based on your model (8/16); 2) update over Motocast; 3) send the automatic rooting zip to your sdcard; 4) flash a file that lets you instantly boot into recovery from fastboot; 5) flash the rooting zip -- done.

If you were able to understand on first go, congrats! because I had to read that over 3x to make sure I said everything correctly. =)

I believe runinintowalls is correct: people who got 1.6.6 in time are on the upgrade path 1.6.12->1.6.N which includes the golf application, while people who didn't are on 1.6.7->1.6.13->1.6.(N+1) path. The 1.6.12 version has a newer golf application with improved score calculation and club selection, which I doubt is in the version ClearD is including in his ROMs.

It would be useful if the Root Tool was updated so that "Return to Stock" would go to 1.6.6 or 1.6.12 so that anyone could return to the stock upgrade path with the golf beta application.

FINALLY!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23338342

Well, here's my Memorial Day weekend present for everyone. Finally releasing the images I've been holding on to for quite some time. But, I didn't want to disappoint so I released everything you will ever need to root and return to stock. Seems like there was one little blip, dproldan found that the MacOSX binary i used doesn't work (didn't have a Mac to work with =/). However, he graciously gave me his working copy of it which I've uploaded for you to download if you need it:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5849675/android/f100/fastboot-Darwin

When/if you extract the zip (see the official post for details) place this in the bin/ directory (overwrite the existing), make sure it can be executed, and continue as normal. I will update the files when get the chance.

Thanks for all your patience guys, enjoy!

I will look into it further then. Worst case: I believe the 16gb doesn't have this type of upgrading, and considering the entire system.img is identical (apart from a few timestamps) we can just pull the golf.apk from there. =)
[Other SmartWatches] fernandoavc:
I don't :) I only use bt to connect to my phone to grab notifications from SMS or calling ppl just because of the sound I can't hear phone ringing.... I did the root and stuff but to be honest I haven't found any practical use for the watch than to workout... If I use it as a regular watch ppl use to think it's an iPod.... For internet access/GPS/etc I still use my Gnex...
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
I actually use the watch alot. I was asking phil about bluetooth tethering phone instead of wifi tether. Love my motoactv.

[Other SmartWatches] fernandoavc:
Oh sorry! :)

I use that a lot too but as it was meant to! As I go everyday to the gym then I use it heavily!

I would also love to know how the MotoACTV does when constantly tethered via Bluetooth DUN. That's my plan since it is less taxing on the battery than wifi.

What's the difference between CEnnis91's and ClearD's ROMs?
[Other SmartWatches] PhilPan:
I'm on AOKP on my nexus; and I use Nook Color BT tether on MotoACTV....it works all day for me....I don't work out or or anything, but basic usage and texts and stuff works all day long.
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
Mine are only stock images at the moment. But you will be able to update and root any version yourself without waiting for us to update our ROMs.
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
4-5 days?? Whats your secret? :p I get about 3 days without bluetooth notifications, and 2 days with them enabled.
[Other SmartWatches] Triumph:
Thanks so much CEnnis91!!

I used the 16gb stock back to 1.6.6 and was able then to update to 1.6.12.

i originally had a 16gb then got stuck on the N8 branch accidentally going back to stock with the root tool. Was finally able to get back to N16 with these new images.
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
another method for the HOME button

Don't know if this has been discussed before, but I found that double-pressing the power button generates a different keycode, it is defined as keycode 247 in cpcap-key-kl. Changing it to HOME, allows you to change between launchers, leaving the original start button for its stock funtion and eliminating the need for a "soft-button" application.

Attached is a modified cpcap-key.kl if you want to try this route, extract it somewhere in your computer and install it from a terminal:

adb remount

adb push cpcap-key.kl /system/usr/keylayout/

Reboot now. If you have another launcher installed, double press the power button and it should ask you which one to use.

Enjoy!

Short update on Motoactv battery live.

Was using motoactive for 40K run today. First 20K was listening podcasts with Doggcacher with Pressto engine to speed up the playback to 1.75. Battery ran down to 50%. Then I ran out of podcasts - switched to native motoactv music player. Was tracking my workout on build in motoactv running application. In the last 20K lost only 30% battery! Came back after 4hrs 15min with 20% battery left. Was using wired headset the whole time.

So the short of it is that Presto engine must be taxing CPU too much :( Other than that its a great device for sports and day to day use.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
It will be done. There will be a lot of changes coming soon (dual-version fastboot return to stock), thanks to CEnnis91 and [mbm]'s work. They are incredible!

Ideas? Suggestions? Sort of like dsixda's kitchen, I'm just trying to make things a little easier for the non-adb/fastboot friendly users. :)
[Other SmartWatches] tansoftware:
Excellent work :-) Will apply your patch and see what happens.

Have you been able to find anything with regards to the search-box crashes yet ?
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
Interesting, what was the original function of the double pressing?
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
It is mapped as POWER_DOUBLE, but it doesn't seem to be used anywhere by the system.

Been researching it for some time. I'm pretty sure it is related to all the things motorola removed from the standard Settings application. As a result, the system is not keeping a list of "searchables", things like apps, internet, mails, etc. When you press any search button, the apps try to access that list, they get an empty object and force close.

My next approach will be to try and copy that "searchables" list from another device. I'm hoping that it is stored in a database somewhere.
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
/data/data/ com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/shared_prefs/SearchSettings.xml would be the file you're after. Hopefully I can contribute some help to the search issues now that the stock images are done.
[Other SmartWatches] tansoftware:
Interesting finding... I'll thoroughly look into that.

Thanks for the tip.
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
Not sure if it will lead to anything tbh, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to look.

2 things not working since root - SMS and Calls

ever since i rooted (Actually didn't try before i rooted it) i am unable to

1) answer calls w/ my Motoactv with wired headsets - can only see that call is coming in and can "silence it"

2) Am not receiving text messages -only receiving meeting alerts and weather alerts

I've checked all the settings a couple of times - not quite sure what i am doing wrong.

Has this happened to anyone else? any thoughts?

Thanks

MotoACTV Wiki and ClearDroid MotoACTV Version 1.1.3A.
[Other SmartWatches] :
Hi All,

I received my MotoACTV today and I have it rooted with ClearDroid installed. Now my question is about how to use it. Are you using the Motorola app to receive your notifications? If you do that, does it rule out using the Nook BlueTooth Tether app? Is it one or the other?
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
Updating the images I posted a few days ago, they will be uploaded shortly. I will be adding the md5sums of the newest images, check to make sure you have the correct one. 2 changes:

1) fixed the MacOSX binary

2) added the Windows binary, and added a flash-all.bat to manually flash in Windows
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
New update

New OTA pushed from Motorola today (or at least that's when we found it), looks to be pretty interesting, go ahead and grab it. According to dproldan, it might take you a little longer to get into fastboot, just hold the keycode a little longer.
[Other SmartWatches] :
Ok, I figured out the BT thing. I got the rom installed and everything seems to be ok, except that Dolphin Mini force closes when I try to type. Any ideas?
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Yeah, dont use dolphin mini. It's known not to work. I use boat browser mini personally.
[Other SmartWatches] :
Awesome, thanks!! BTW, are you the same speedyink with the youtube videos of the MotoACTV? If so, those are great!! They really pushed me over the edge to exchange my WiMM for the ACTV.
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
I would recommend to hold this upgrade for a few days.

Using two launchers as we've been doing is not easy anymore, and it's eating the battery like crazy.

More questions!

Is the LED a no go? If so, how are you being notified of new messages, etc?

Is anyone using eBuddy with DeskSMS? If so, how reliable do you find it to be?

Gmail settings: I can't find account settings to switch on GMail Sync. As a consequence, GMail isn't pushed to my watch. I have to refresh for new messages.

How do you add a second GMail account?
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
im using ebuddy and desksms together works pretty well, i wouldnt say flawless since i lose wifi connection from time to time but other than that works great.
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Yes, that would be me. Thanks man, appreciate it. Glad my videos are of some use. I was curious about the wimm one, but it certainly doesn't look like you can customize it near as much since you're pretty much stuck in that wimm interface afaik

What's the version number of the new update? Interested in looking it up
[Other SmartWatches] jiexi:
yup, it was between wimm one and this. glad we both made the right choice

I've got coaching enabled in the stock settings but it's keeping silent during runs. The music dips in volume at intervals during the workout which I assume is when the coaching is suppose to speak. Is that right?
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
It was version 7, blur version 5.7. Or 1.7.

The update has been pulled. I found it by pure luck as I was restoring my device to stock, luckily Cennis was able to download it. I prefer not to link it here, look at the irc logs for yesterday.
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
has anyone been using the golf feature? i've opened it many times and downloaded all my courses i plan to play at and i plan on using it next weekend so went to test it out and apparently you need the start button to work to get it going and by "to work" i mean it needs to work as a start button and i have it set as my home button, what other configurations do others have that work well? was thinking about making the music home and the volume down menu since i never plan on turning the volume down lol.
[Other SmartWatches] alessio9899:
i have same problem too
[Other SmartWatches] lownox:
I keep mine mapped like stock and use button savior app to use the home button as needed.
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
good idea. maybe ill try that instead of remapping the buttons the way i was thinkin.

Can anyone else confirm the audio coaching not working? I haven't had a chance to field test my unit yet, but that was kind of an important feature for me.

yet more questions

First, I want to thank all of you that have answered my questions so far. Thanks for your guidance!! Ok... here are two more questions / issues.

1. i'm running 1.1.3a. I have google play music installed. It works great (streaming), but i cant get sound to my bluetooth headphones. When I use a wired pair there are no problems. The headset was paired correctly. I was able to use the bluetooth headphone when I was in stock just fine. Any ideas?

2. When using google play store and a few other apps, when I try to search for something, I get a F.C. Is there something that I could have screwed up?
[Other SmartWatches] lownox:
FC during market search is normal. Ppl are working on a fix afaik. I can't answer the Bluetooth issue you're having. Sorry.
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Ahh, thanks. New version number, nice, must have a few changes then.
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
In my experience I've found that only certain apps will take hold of wireless bluetooth from the stock music player. If you have an app installed that can take control then you'll lose the ability to use wireless bluetooth with the stock player until you uninstall the app. Astro Player is an example of this.
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
I use google music with my bluetooth headphones no problem i have the motorola s10 bluetooth headset works awesome with my motoactv playing PLAY MUSIC lol.
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
so i know version 7 just came out yesterday just curious if cleard or any other devs are working on a new updated rom with this update on it? apparently its got another golf update and social integration now, not that i dont already have facebook on the watch but would be nice the way i've seen the pics of having it integrated. just curious.

keep up the great work guys.

You know, I've been meaning for a while now to not wear the Motoactv (I hate watch tan, lol), but I haven't been able to bring myself up to it yet. The text notifications are really handy since I usually don't notice I have a text otherwise, it's kind of hard to miss a blinking white light on your wrist. Also it's got all my notes on it (including my spending budget). It really is a cool as hell toy and it's gotten a lot of attention
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
I haven't seen the "official" new update but I saw the unofficial one that Motorola pulled. In that ota they updated files in /preinstall. This means you have 2 options: 1) make the user update to the latest version (unrooted) BEFORE they flash ClearDroid (or any future available rom) or 2) include a full preinstall image to flash like I do in the stock/rooted roms (this will double the file size at least). I havent decided the best method yet, Motorola doesn't always update preinstall.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Argh. That sucks... And makes things a bit more difficult. Preinstall contents are just in the two /app folders after first boot though, correct?

[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
And svox data (text to speech) which is probably the only thing that is getting updated. Realistically it may not be very important this go around, but it wouldn't be a good practice to having your preinstall partition lag behind in updates; it could create some odd errors and/or performance issues.

Can someone help me out please? I've been trying to install copilot on my watch, but it's never worked. I've got it on my phone but would be handy to have it on my watch so I can get navigation without an internet connection.

I tried installing the apk through adb.

I tried creating a backup from the phone using Titanium then restoring to phone.

Hey guys, just picked up a 16GB Motoactv today, and have to say, am really enjoying it, and its potential to be the coolest/nerdiest device I have (which is saying a lot). So, after reading the Wiki today I went through the rooting/etc process, and have a few questions, any input would be much appreciated.

After rooting the device (thanks CEnnis91 and Utkanos!) I got to 7) and installed ClearDroid MotoACTV Version 1.1.3A. It mentions Google Play being in the rom, the contacts fix, and PackageInstaller also being there, but I saw none of that after installing? I'm wondering:

A) How should I go about getting the Play Store or Market search installed assuming I'm not missing it from ClearDroid (running Zeam launcher now)? My ultimate goal is to install runkeeper and a few other apps, but no luck so far. Have tried Amazon AppStore, but can't get keyboard to work.

B) How are people getting gmail and google music installed? I grabbed gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip from another post in this thread, but that included none of the apps I wanted (and they were crashing too, leading me to believe I need contact fix, see below).

C) For the contact fix, I'm getting read-only file system when trying to copy to /system/app, is there a way to copy those with fs in writeable mode?

D) For the Honeycomb launcher from MotoACTV Root Tool V1.1.5, it comes with a bunch of apps when I select the tasks button, including Google Music and the Play store. All of those crash when I try to access them, any way to fix?

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
The package installer and contacts fix will run in the background and...

A) Google Play will be in the apps drawer. You can assign a swipe action using Zeam to open the apps draw. Have you used MotoACTV Easy Modder V1.2 by Jay4255 to remap the Start and Music buttons to home and menu?

Once Google Play is launched you can attached your Google account to your MotoACTV. It's useful to add a power control widget to your homescreen so your Wifi keeps alive and use the browser on you computer to push install apps to your watch from Google Play. That's an easy way to install the market search app, or any other apps that you would like. I'd recommend an LCD density changer as some apps will be more useable if the screen density is set to 100.

B) GMail is also in the apps drawer. I assume Google Music is available through Google Play. Once you attach your Google account your emails will become available. Autosync tends to force close a lot but if you enable it (again using the power widget) it will sync, just ok the force closes until it syncs. Check out this post for more details.

C) Have you tried 'adb remount' first?

D) Can't help you there but Zeam Launcher is good launcher to get the watch set up, and then you have the option to install another launcher if you wish, ADW for example.

Sleep mode

Hi all,

Thanks for all your help! This little gadget and your help is very appreciated!

Though, I have two questions, which I haven't seen answered anywhere else.

1. I have used the root tool, but after the 1.1.3 all apps seems to crash (play, maps, etc.) . Anyone else experiencing this? And maybe a stupid question in this regard; does the motoactv spent considerably more battery after rooting it and installing a launcher?

2. Another thing that bugs me. It seems that the gadget goes into some kind of sleep mode after a while and the bt connection to the phone is lost. After I shake the wrist and wake the watch the connection is immidiately established. Anyone know the exact sleeping rules and how it work? Is it always active and connected when it sense some motion from being on the wrist? It is a bit annoying if the connection is lost and you miss some messages.

Thanks guys!

My watch has been stuck in a cycle for the last 24 hours. It reboots, then immediately reports an error with yahoo mail and force closes. Then it reboots before I can do anything. I can't enter recovery mode because of low battery and it will only charge up to 5% then start the process again until the battery is drained. Even when i manage to power off it will only charge up to 5%.

I'm away from the weekend and don't have a pc.

Any suggestions?
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
Which ROM do you have installed? How did you root your MotoACTV?
[Other SmartWatches] auz-auz:
I have Cleardroid 1.1.3a. I followed the method on the wiki and used Cleadroid root tool v1.1.5.
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
Not having a computer is a pain, but once you have access to one again you could try getting into recovery by issuing an 'adb reboot recovery' from a command prompt (with adb installed on your computer) and wiping everything including the dalvik cache, and reflashing the rom. Or returning to stock using the Root Tool and repeating the root procedure/ROM flash.

When you say you can't get into recovery are you trying to get to it by holding power and start when turning on the watch? If so that's Fastboot mode which needs a certain amount of battery to use and is different to recovery mode. I don't believe there is a way to get into recovery without having a USB connection to a computer, or the watch fully booting.
[Other SmartWatches] auz-auz:
Yes I was pressing the power and start button together.

Thanks for the archive, I'll give it a go when I get back home.

Make sure you're charging with the wall charger, not a usb port from another device also. Turn the device off (start + power for 7 seconds) and let it charge on the wall.

What kind of loop are you having, exactly? And can you explain every step you took up to this point?

It sounds like you may be having a problem with yahoo mail?
