YES! As an absolute inexperienced Android user I have always been wondering if there's a need to flash complete ROMs or if they can be "pieced together on the fly".

There was a pdf from Motorola pertaining to the changes. I don't remember exactly what it had to be honest; I haven't looked at it lately.
[Other SmartWatches] lirona:
I have some questions:

1. How can I install on my MotoACTV the: Google Calendar and Gmail and they will work.

2. If I have download the "ROM MANAGER v5.0.0.7" can I Reboot into Recovery or I need

first download the Recovery (from wher I can download it) on my MotoACTV and how?

3. Why when I extract the file: "ClearDroid_MotoACTV_1.1.3_A" I see there is a

package including the languages of Hebrew and on the MotoACTV has no Hebrew

language appears to me, how can I add the Hebrew language on my MotoACTV?

4. How do I sync the contacts that I have on google to my MotoACTV?

Thanks,

Arie.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
If you're rooted, and used the root tool (I assume AnyRoot does the same), you should already have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed on your device.

1. Not sure, I haven't played with them enough. I assume dproldan's contacts fix will assist with this.

2. Yes, it will allow you to reboot into recovery.

3. I am not sure.

4. Once again, dproldan's contacts fix may apply here as well.

Hope that helped a little bit. :P

No offense, but have you ever tried to use the search function?

You always ask questions which have been answered many times within this thread.

Please have a look at the first point of the xda forum rules:

It is very difficult to follow the thread if the same questions are asked all over again.

Regarding your question: Dropbox is an easy and fast way to transfer apk files from your computer to the device.

system version MA 1.7.3 N8

Hi all I just got my motactv 8GB and I have gone and read through all 228 pages and I have a question.

My system is 1.7.3 and the root tool V1.1.5 by ClearD does not have my system version as a option. When going to the first stage of flashing the modified boot image. Can I just use the highest version to flash and then root or does it have to bee added to the root tool any help will be great.

Thank you all in advanced for your help.
[Other SmartWatches] IronChase:
I think the easiest install tool for the Moto is found on the wiki page and mentioned frequently here - the MotoACTV Easy Modder v1.2 (also called Jay's Easy Modder here). When you install Easy Modder, you'll have a sub-directory on your PC for APKs. I just place any APK I want to install in that folder. Then when I run Easy Modder, from the menu I select #03 Mods, the from that sub-menu I select 04 Install Custom APK. When you select 04, it will actually list all the APKs in that folder. All you have to do is type in the file name, and it should install.

If you get an Insufficient Space error during an attempted APK install, type 98 to go back to the Mods sub-menu, and choose 05 Uninstall APK. When you chose 05, it will list all the APKs currently installed on the Moto. Be forewarned that the installed names don't always match the actual APK you might see in your filefolder (most start "com.*****), so you'll have to figure it out. Also, some of those APKs are not un-installable this way. You can also uninstall on the Moto itself, but as long as you are running Jay's Easy Modder, it might save a few steps of going back & forth & re-booting.

I would make sure I've made a backup (using the MotoACTV Root Tool V1.1.5, #3 Data Backup, also found on the wiki page). That way you can always go back to where you were if everything stops working for you (voice of experience).

Hope that helped. I'm still learning alot about my Moto, but it's a great device and fun to figure out.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Haven't tested it yet, but it should work afaik. If it does not, I can create you a new boot image to flash to make it work. :)

EDIT: Actually, on second though, I'll just test it now myself lol.
[Other SmartWatches] Jrbourque:
Are you still planning add on or staying with rom?
[Other SmartWatches] camaro1173:
:D OK sounds good I will wait to here the out come....
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Just created the first version of the mod, actually. :)

Will test that next after gaining root back from stock lol.
[Other SmartWatches] Jrbourque:
Score! Ill def test that out ...been wanting to go back to stock and either reflash rom or ur new mod pack...so ill just wait for that :-)
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Surprisingly, I missed this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27143674&postcount=2225

Whoops :) So, evidently, it works. The button combo for fastboot changes now though.

For versions 1.7.2 and 1.7.3, use volume down + power for about 5 seconds with the device turned off, and then tap power again rapidly. Thanks for the tip!

The newest boot image (for 1.6.6 and up) in the root tool does work with the latest versions. I just rooted 1.7.2.

Now, to flash the mod and make sure it still works...
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
If I remember correctly, the 1.7.2/3 update changed the boot.img, be sure to grab that. You could always use my AnyRoot, it pulls both the stock and rooted image and puts them on the sdcard.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Ah, you're the man! Lol and like a boss, I actually ran AnyRoot first thing before testing, to make a backup and a guaranteed-working insecure boot, in case it didn't work! :D

There are a few oddities, so I want to see what's up before I release a mod to anyone else... but the gist of it works. :)

None of the old apps are showing in the app drawer... so I'm going to check a few things and possibly update some of the files (as well as the boot image) to see what the problem is, or if they've changed it to not show them. :)

1.7.3 Battery life???

I dont know if its me or anything but i used ClearD tool v 1.1.5 returned to stock

Let Moto update twice to get to 1.7.3

used the tool again for root.

Now everything is working minus the battery life is non existent.

Every 20-30 mins im losing 10% battery and its getting hot on the back.

Any Ideas for me?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Possibly the boot image. Return back to stock 1.7.3 and don't root yet. I'll release a new root tool version soon with the correct boot image for the new versions.
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
Do you see SleepAnalysis.apk in /system/app?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Well, this isn't good.

On 1.7.2 rooted, it isn't giving me a launcher selection option at all, after installing ADW EX.

Still testing things... with the current mod that I created a little while ago, I was able to install ADW overtop of it.

EDIT: It appears that the home selection screen no longer pops up upon booting for version 1.7.2 and 1.7.3 with the correct boot image. I was able to get into ADW, and it appears that once you get in, the stock apps have disappeared from the drawer. The only one I see is Superuser. Odd...

EDIT 2: It appears now, that nothing is flashing through recovery. At least /data/app is not, and I'm unsure if /system is either... the changes aren't appearing as they should.

EDIT 3: Recovery report log:

mount: no mtd partition named "/dev/block/mmcblk1p18"

blk: partition "system" size 163840000 not a multiple of io_buffer_size 524288

Evidently something has changed? :confused:

For the time being, I've reverted back to my last 1.6.12 backup... I can't do much with this, yet. :(

EDIT 4: I might have figured it out... I had the parameters wrong lol. Let's try again again... :p

Device will not go into fastboot

Hi, while updating my Motoactv 8 GB the battery went dead. I managed to charge the battery (externally) but now I am not able to enter fastboot mode...

I have tried all the key combinations but this is the only screen that will pop up.

Wifi changes

OK- so this is what i found. With the latest ROM - wifi syncing seems to be "on demand" meaning that the old check box to turn wifi on before it looks for a new or "remembered" hot spot is gone. Now WIFI will turn on only when "wireless sync" is called upon. Since i have not tried to re-root my device and install a rom, if this setup remainds, does this mean that we will have issues connecting? Anyone else have any experiences with 1.7.2 and cleardroid?

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

See my feud below :-)

Was on 1.7.3 and used the old root tool - somehow broke Wifi so i no longer get the check box to turn wifi on - so when i try Wifi it turns on and off immediately after but still ACTS as if it's connected. Trying to return to 1.7.3 and see if it fixes anything.

Ok - may be in the clear. it appears the old checkbox to activate wifi is gone from the latest version. But connection is still spotty.

anyone on the latest version still have the "Wi Fi Checkbox" to turn wifi on on the Original Motoact settings tab?

Might be important to note that i am having these issues with the tether to my cell phone

The latest is that it shows the wifi access point is "remembered" but it won't reconnect. If i "forget" it and reconnect, it connects for a second then drops off.

Interestingly, after associating with this access point and having it be remembered, when i scan other wifi access points it shows my mobile phone as "disabled"

Truly annoying..
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
You only need to hold Volume down and power for about 7 seconds, no need to press it more times.

I have been playing with 1.7.2 since it came out.

Applications are now installed to /mnt/asec instead of /data/app, that's why they don't appear in the secondary launchers anymore. And that's why they now appear in the applications drawer of the stock launcher.

Want to try something new? in the link, you'll find a zip with the following modifications:

Settings. I have added Wifi Settings, Accounts and Sync Settings and Applications Settings.

Applications drawer, 4 columns so app icons don't overlap, smaller home button.

Framework. Notification LED set to white, now all applications can light up the notification LED.

New background for the stock launcher, just because.

If you install, for example, Gmail, these modifications allow you to set autosync for it, and when you receive a mail, the LED will blink.

This is very "stock", no extra applications are included. But everything you install to this, will be accesible from the stock launcher pressing the "MUSIC" button.

This has to be installed on a 7.2 system, from recovery. Be sure to wipe cache from recovery, or you'll get a bootloop.

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BxTLcy78OveNTjhuTzFCSVhOTmM

added some screenshots, (sorry they're in spanish)

Enjoy
[Other SmartWatches] mattyv:
DProldan, are you able to turn WIFI on and OFF at your command? I noticed that the newest version of 7.2 only turns the WIFI on when it wants to retrieve or send data. Is this the case with this version?

Also, what version of the root tool did you use for 7.2?

Finally, is the above a rom? or something you add over cleardroid?
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
Wifi stays on fine for me with this version. I added the android standard wifi settings to the stock settings dialogs, so you can access an on/off setting without installing anything else.

I used anyroot.zip that Cennis made.

The zip I provided is a modification to the stock rom, everything looks the same, but it allows you to access many more settings, and fixes the stock launcher apps drawer.

When you install this, you don't need an extra launcher.

ok, some fast instructions:

from here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23338342&postcount=1

get the stock images for your device, the anyroot.zip and the reboot-recovery.zip

Install the stock images using any of the methods describeb on that post.

Update your MotoACTV TWO or THRE TIMES with MotoCast. You should be at version 1.7.2/1.7.3 now.

Transfer the zip I provided and anyroot.zip to MotoACTV usb drive.

Turn off the MotoACTV and turn it on holding Volume Down and Power buttons until it shows fastboot.

extract reboot-recovery.zip to your harddrive and run the flash_all script

The MotoACTV should reboot to recovery now, install any-root.zip, install MotoACTVApps_resigned.zip

go back, wipe data, wipe cache. Reboot now.

It will take a couple minutes to reboot completely, follow the motoACTV setup procedure.

Done! Now look at settings and find the new things. Wireless Settings, Accounts settings, Application settings and sound settings.

from the main MotoACTV launcher, if you press "music" button, you'll see the apps drawer, it's empty now, but you can install programs using adb.

I'm in a trip at the moment, next weekend I'll set up a complete ROM for you to play with.

On 1.13b rom. I've installed livewallpaper.apk livewallpaperpicker.apk and gallery.apk. I also copied them to the system/app directory. I can click the wallpaper, click live wallpaper and see all the live wallpapers I have installed. As soon as I pick ANYTHING from the list it FC. Even the live wallpaper that is already working (the one with the grass/sun moon etc I forget what it's called)

I would really like to be able to change my live wallapper and I know others have done it. Thank you in advance.

[Other SmartWatches] yellowboy63:
You can't just put the live wallpaper on the sd, they have to be installed doing an adb push.

adb push LiveWallpapers.apk /system/app/

adb push LiveWallpapersPicker.apk /system/app/

I pushed both of those files with adb. Do I need to push the live wallpaper I want as well?

Like I've said before. I have live wallpaper working I just can't change it. The menu to change opens.

To be honest I can't remember how I got beautiful weather lwp working in the first place.

Fitness first, geekdom second

I think I'm a minority in this forum, but I actually want my watch to be first and foremost a fitness device that monitors my running and biking.

I also happen to be a software engineer that loves Android, so the fact that I can root this puppy and engage in hackery is a very close second.

With that in mind, yesterday I went for an hour run with a rooted device, all google-apps installed and logged in, and it ran out of battery right at the end (full disclosure: it only had 40% when I started). No idea what was sucking the life out of the thing, but I reverted to stock to give it a try again today. On a 45 minute run today, the battery meter went from 100% to 90%.

So, any thoughts on what was draining the battery so close in the rooted version? I had the following installed on the watch:

- zeam launcher (power app on home screen with wifi and sync turned off)

- google apps (logged in with my gmail-id. Note: this did contain the calendar app, which was missing from the ClearDroid rom)

That's it. I really wouldn't expect these to drain the battery (at least not with the wifi disabled).

I will now experiment: test it with just root, test with root + loader, and finally test with gapps. The problem is, I can only run and bike so far in a week :-)

Thanks all for paving the way and making this so much fun!
