Ummm so this is odd, I followed your instructions and everything went without a hitch, no errors, except after I select the reboot option in CWM after loading cleardroid, it reboots, sits for a bit, and then boots into my original setup!?!? All my data is there from what I see, and all my apps, like I didn't do anything at all... Any ideas? Tried it twice, same result both times!

[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
Son of a *****....I just upgraded to 1.6.6 and re-rooted and got everything settled and they drop another update...
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
I've been using titanium backup to remove unwanted items and move things to the SDcard so I haven't tried the article I posted a few above. I'm just curious if it fixes any issues you guys have run into or anything like that. As it stands now I don't have a reason to do it.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Sorry I've not been around today. When it reboots, if you're only clearing cache and dalvik, all of your original apps, launcher, and data should be intact. Only the system folder will have changed.

To see if it worked, check your buttons on the top of the device. They should be remapped back to what they were when it came factory. After flashing, you need to remap your buttons to whatever you desire them to be using the easymodder.

The reason for this is because I couldn't find a good button combo for everyone, so I left it stock.

Bdaman80 is working on a rooted app that will let us change those on the fly, though, on the device. ;)
[Other SmartWatches] d2tw4all:
So yup they are remapped... I guess I was hoping someone had a ROM out there that would sort of make this more android like, and not leave things blank. How can I get the google play/market on this now? Otherwise, what is the advantage of using this ROM?

Tom
[Other SmartWatches] jiexi:
When I try 'adb devices' nothing shows up on the stuck logo or fastboot.

when i try 'fastboot boot recovery.img' it says recovery.img cannot be found.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
If the Rom flashed, the market should be on the device. It is included and works. Nobody has released a full AOSP rom for it yet, though. I can begin working on that if you like, but I don't normally like to take away anything from the original functionality of a device.

Return to stock via root tool (fastboot mode), then try again. Make sure it charges to 100% first though.

I swear, this is the most finicky device I've ever seen when it comes to flashing...
[Other SmartWatches] d2tw4all:
That's cool. I figured out how to get into market, and search doesn't work but otherwise it seems to function. Now at least I can play around with it more. I'm just looking for a really good clock/watch widget, not sure what you are using but the one I have isn't ideal...

---------- Post added at 05:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------

Also what's the deal with wifi turning itself off all the time, is there a timeout or something now? If so, how do I change it?

Tom
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
The WiFi, I'm not sure of... I use the power control widget to turn mine on and off, with WiFi Manager app to control it. :)

For the clock widget, I'm using Beautiful Widgets, which I pulled from my phone. It works pretty nicely, when scaled right lol. You can pull the skins from your sd card and everything. Actually... if play works, you might be able to direct download them to the device, now. It's been a while since I downloaded it.
[Other SmartWatches] Jeff:
Erratum

Good call, you were correct. I have changed the procedure to take into account the case sensitivity, I can see how this would effect results. You'll have to delete the CAPITAL Framework-res.apk, I suggest doing the entire procedure again to make sure the right files are in the right place, after a reboot when you no longer see the battery icon:

adb remount

adb shell

su

rm /system/framework/Framework-res.apk

exit

exit

Sorry for the typo...
[Other SmartWatches] jiexi:
Would it be helpful information that whenever I try flashing 1.2.2A or 1.2.2B, it always stops at "flashing boot" for awhile, then restarts and hangs at the "M".

When i flashed 1.0.0, it returned me back to recovery menu once it was done flashing.

Is it possible that the flash isn't being completed when I'm flashing 1.1.2B, or is it suppose to drop me out of recovery once its done?

This is driving me crazy z_z.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
It isn't supposed to do either of those things... Which recovery are you using? Specifically, how did you get it onto the device, and when did you flash the recovery?
[Other SmartWatches] jiexi:
I used your root tool v1.1.5.

Whats been happening is, after i get stuck in a bootloop after attempting to flash a rom, I use your root tool to "Return to Rooted Stock". So, whatever recovery is being flashed at that point/if any is the recovery.

In the recovery menu it says: CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
if i wanted to do the upgrade to the motoactv that was released 2 days ago and im currently running cleardroid 1.1.2b could i run the update on the computer after disabling the adb shell? or would this mess up the rom install on the device?

second part to the question guess only cleardroid can answer but in the next update to the rom would this new update from motoactv be in the updated rom? since im really liking the golf feature of the watch itself.
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
I've been running cleardroid 1.1.2b for a few days now and have done some app testing and here is what I've found:

ADW EX Launcher: Works great, I'm able to remove all lag and make home screen swiping lightning fast.

Android overclock: Works but you can't underclock/overclock (If we have a working kernel to test I'd love to try it.

Amazon Appstore: Works without issue

Beautiful Widgets: Works without issue

Button Savior: Must have for this device.

Cachemate: Works without issue

CF-Bench: Works without issue (Overall score of 1501) lol

Chainfire3d: Yes the driver works, even the snapdragon, powervr and tegra plugins

Adobe Air: Works without issue

Adobe Flash: Works without issue

Gmail: Works without issue

My tracks: GPS is slow at first but works without issue

Netflix: View is rotated the long way while picking movies but once you select it works great!

Google Music: Works without issue

ROM Toolbox Pro: Works without issue

Root Explorer: Works without issue

System Panel/Task Killer: Works without issue (though I wouldn't end tasks)

Flit Keyboard: A must for this device

Titanium Backup Pro: Works without issue, very useful for moving apps to SD Card.

xScope Browser: You can click bookmarks and surf the web but as soon as you try to type in the address bar the app crashes. Shame because the browser itself works REALLY well on this device.

4.53.50 is not a new firmware update, they all start out with that version. Then as soon as you plug it in and check for an update, there should be a new 4.55.78 version. Upgrade to it and then proceed with the rest of the guide.

[Other SmartWatches] cleblanc92:
Will a factory reset restore the original boot.img? If not, anyone have the stock file handy for 4.55.78 that I could get a hold of?

I'd like to have it on file and I did not grab mine before hand.
[Other SmartWatches] spartan1987:
go to IRC #motoactv and talk to jaysen. He hooked me up with it.
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
It wasn't possible to backup the old boot.img before replacing it with the new one. The new one enables ADB so that it could be rooted. Need to have access to ADB and be rooted in order to make backups.

You can restore the watch, it will still be rooted and have a custom boot.img but nobody will be able to tell it was messed with. To do so, run the following commands

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot -w

fastboot reboot
[Other SmartWatches] spartan1987:
Hey can this run crysis? :D
[Other SmartWatches] Sideburns4life:
I got rooted and everything ok, but I still want to use the MOTO launcher for day to day things. I installed the honeycomb launcher and the zeam launcher and remapped my Music button to the home button. I installed the launcher2.apk to try and get back to the original Moto Launcher to use on a day to day basis but all it does is force close when I try to select it. How can I get this to be the default launcher and work?

Also, I can't figure out how to get to a normal settings menu to activate wifi. All it does it take me to the original motoactv settings menu.
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
When clicking the Launcher2 from the Apps list, all it's going to do is the animated part when you first turn the watch on. Starts in the center, scrolls to the far right, to the far left, back to the center, then it disappears. If you still want to use the Moto apps, Install AnyCut and create shortcuts for them.

To access the Wifi Menu, from the Honeycomb launcher, click on Apps. Then click the 3rd button from the left on the bottom bar. Should show a popup where you can get into wifi settings. I don't use zeam, so I don't know how to access it from there.
[Other SmartWatches] Sideburns4life:
Ok So I figured out the wifi menu. No problems there. However, when using anycut, there is like 30 applications labeled "Workout." I've tried a few but they all seem to go to a specific workout screen. There is no way to get to the main menu.

Also. I really enjoyed using the clock widget with the handy stopwatch and timer from the original motoactv launcher. Is there any way to use all 3 launchers?
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
I setup HCL1.8 and then downloaded Button savior to switch launchers. I then reinstalled Launcher2 but it FC on me as well. I found by reflashing the system.img file that the Moto suite was reloaded properly over me configured HCL install (Note: my remapped keys switched back to default and needed to be re-edited). I now have all 3 launchers and full functionality of the original Moto apps.
[Other SmartWatches] Sideburns4life:
This actually works great for me to get all the launchers on there. My only problem is getting Button savior to work. It asks for superuser permissions and I have no idea how to accept because you can't scroll down to accept it.
[Other SmartWatches] NORCALkID:
You have to use the batchtool and remap a button to act as a menu option button... Once you do that then go to the superuser app and press your menu button and click on preferences then where it says automatic response select "ALLOW"
[Other SmartWatches] pattex123:
Hi,

thanks for all detailed descriptions on tweaking the MotoACTV, I live in germany and just received my device which I bought on ebay in the US :-)

I have a few questions since I am a Mac-User and very unfamiliar with the android scene :-(

- Is there a possibility to use the batch under winXP (running in parallels mode on my Mac?)

- or is there even a possibility to perform the complete procedure on a MAc?

- Where do I get the .apk's for installing the apps if I don't have an adroid phone?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Pat
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
Haven't tested it, but my batch should work on a Mac running Parallels with Windows XP or higher. As long as the watch is identified when it is plugged in USB.

If you don't have an Android device, you can download and Install the Android SDK, create a Virtual Android Device with google apps and copy them from the emulator. You can also just google them, there are quite a few 3rd party Android markets out that host individual files for download.

Can I use IPhone's 3G connection at MOTOACTV via bluetooth?

I've rooted and installed my personal apks. I'm enjoying rooted MOTOACTV.

But I want to use internet connection outside home. I have IPhone and it's under unlimited 3G data plan.

So I'm finding way to connect MOTOACTV and IPhone by bluetooth(by turning on iphone BT tethering capability), and use iphone's internet connectivity from MOTOACTV's apps.

MOTOACTV has modded setup profile, so I can only find 'smartphone connect' menu, but can't find any other way to do what I want.

Is there any idea you can suggest? THANKS!
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
Install AnyCut, it will allow you to access more than just the "limited" settings that comes on the watch. I would think you would have better luck finding a wifi tether for the iPhone than trying to do it over bluetooth.

If you get something working, be sure and post a guide. I'm sure it might help some of our other users.
[Other SmartWatches] nosit1:
I confirmed that bluetooth will only find a bluetooth headset. No keyboard, mouse, or phone.
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
Ah, yes. That's how I got back into recovery when stuck at the logo. Been trying to remember all day.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
I'm a little baffled, honestly. Try returning to STOCK, then update to the latest actv version via motocast, then flash the 5.6.0 boot image, then re-root, install a launcher, etc. You might be better off doing it manually for the time being.

No, you can't update without returning to stock. Yes, it will be included. It will also include the golf app.
[Other SmartWatches] d2tw4all:
Ok so did someone add a feature to the ROM so that when you flip your wrist, the watch turns on? Mine is definitely turning on by itself and it's only been doing it since I updated the ROM last night! Not super consistent, but I like the idea!

Live Wallpapers

As reported many, many, many posts ago, Live Wallpapers work. I've got one draining my battery right now (ClearDroid 1.1.2). I thought I'd attach the required files.

adb remount

adb push LiveWallpapers.apk /system/app/

adb push LiveWallpapersPicker.apk /system/app/
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
It was added in the official 1.6.0 update. Personally I'd like to drastically reduce the sensitivity, or turn if off completely, as it keeps turning the screen on.
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
I could use a display. I broke mine when I opened the device to take some pictures of the internals.

Do you think the display could still work? are you willing to sell your device for the parts or are you going to repair it?

[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
You can flash this boot image http://dl.opticaldelusion.org/boot-5.6.0-hack.img

It will disable the shake function and enable the accelerometer for android.

This was made by [mbm]
[Other SmartWatches] IronChase:
or you could just turn it off. If you haven't removed all the standard Moto software, when you tap the clock screen, you will get 4 choices: timepiece (clock face), stopwatch, timer, and wake device. The wake device or "Gesture Control" has a check box to turn it on & off.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
ClearDroid 1.1.2B has it built in, or should.

And IronChase is right, if you want the flick to wake turned off, just turn it off from the main motoactv launcher's clock face. :)
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
Can we get these included in the next version of cleardroid?
[Other SmartWatches] runinintowalls:
So if i install 1.1.2B on my MOTOACTV I will keep all of the functionality and have the golf app?
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
Yes, it has the golf built in. You didn't actually unlock anything when you downlaoded it. It's just a folder with some system files in it and they are included in the build. You will not lose golf.
[Other SmartWatches] runinintowalls:
But my MOTOACTV doesnt have golf on it. It was never installed and now the free version is done. I thought that Cleardroid was just gingerebread for the MOTOACTV.
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
No, Cleardroid is the original motoactv software with some goodies thrown in. You still have all original functionality. If you had Golf before, you won't loose it. If you didn't have Golf before, you will have it after flashing Cleardroid.
[Other SmartWatches] jiexi:
Got it to work... have to have 2 zips to flash.

1st zip is 1.1.2B with modified updater instructions to fail assert before flashing boot.

2nd zip is regular 1.1.2B.

Point of this is so that after flashing the 1st zip, it throws you back into recovery menu saying it failed, but already having flashed everything. 2nd zip flashes over the 1st one, this time without any trouble.

Multiple people have said that they have had to flash the rom twice for it to work. Basically the same thing.
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
What's this zip?
[Other SmartWatches] jiexi:
modify the updater_script of the regular 1.1.2B to have it fail before it flashes the boot image
[Other SmartWatches] runinintowalls:
That clears it up. Thank you!
[Other SmartWatches] kensikora:
For anyone who's wondering... I can now pretty much confirm that the Link2SD script breaks Shake to Wake and pedometer.

I was going nuts forever trying to figure out what was causing this problem, and I was afraid to flash newer ROMs for fear of somehow throwing off the delicate balance of this device. Then, today, I did a fresh install of ClearDroid 1.1.2B, shake and pedometer worked all day, and then stopped immediately after setting up my Link2SD this evening.

I'd love to tell you in more detail what part of the whole process breaks the functionality, but I'm just not that smart.

The moral of the story is... If you like flicking your wrist to turn on your Motoactv, don't try to use the TineProgramming Link2SD script.
[Other SmartWatches] jiexi:
just in time to save me. guess that means no angry birds, 30mb ridiculous.

Didn't install Link2SD script, shake to wake isnt working right now. must be some other app.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Angry birds is on mine. Just install it first, then move it to SD the old fashioned way, through settings > apps. It drops it to like 3 mb or something managable.
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
i have link2sd on my motoactv and my shake to wake and my pedometer/calorie counter is working perfectly. running 1.1.2b
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
Link2SD isnt the issue. I DONT have it and my shake to wake no longer works. I have gone thru the various levels of this issue on a completely fresh build, rooted-stock, modified ROM. I have had everything work, Ped/Cal work while shake2wake not, Cal only work etc. Motorola has created one of the most finicky pieces of hardware ever. Look at it wrong or use harsh words during a reboot and it'll boot loop on ya. Tine's program isnt the source.
[Other SmartWatches] fernandoavc:
To put some more fire in this discussion I use this watch a lot for work out and the shake to wake stops work when you are on a training session (when it shows a foot at status bar) and when you are done with your training it backs to normal.

This behavior makes sense to me since at work out you (at least should) shake your body a lot and it doesn't mean that you want to turn on the display.

By the records: I have a 8GB us 1.1.2b cleard ROM with very few apps since I use it only for work out.
[Other SmartWatches] runinintowalls:
I just installed the modified boot image and it does not have golf on it. I used the MOTOACTV root tool v1.1.5.
[Other SmartWatches] nosit1:
You need to flash over something like cleardroid rom.

Bluetooth compatibility to "Scosche myTREK"

Hey guys!

i'm thinking of buying an MotoACTV but i hate the chest strap heart monitor. So i was thinking

to combine the "Scosche myTREK Wireless Pulse Monitor" with the MotoACTV.

This pulse monitor is an armband which can connect to any Android 2.3.3 device via bluetooth.

Did anyone of you try that myTREK device with the MotoACTV?

Does anyone know alternative pulse monitors? The SF700 headphones from Motorola probably will never ship again. :-/

Thank you!
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
You're probably better off with an ANT+ heart rate monitor, rather than bluetooth. The device supports ANT+ devices, but bluetooth is hit or miss, it seems. Someone previously said they had different bluetooth stacks working on the device for more functionality, but we haven't seen it released yet.

You're absolutely right. I did a fresh install, had it working for a few hours, and then it quit for days.

Black/Grey menu listings

Can app menu listings be styled to something more visible? At the moment, when a menu is opened the background is black and the text is dark grey, or even darker grey (which I assume is the Android system default style). With the backlight on as low as possible to save battery it's very hard to read each menu entry. It reminds me of Zaphod Beeblebrox: "It's the weird colour scheme that freaks me. Every time you try to operate one of these weird black controls, which are labeled in black on a black background, a small black light lights up black to let you know you've done it".
