Sorry that I'm digging up such an old thread but I was NOT able to find anything on this:

I'm not able to see the NCTether widget at all. I can see the app but not the widget.

Can I confirm which rom works and what additional steps/other software are needed?

Thanks!

Turn wifi and bluetooth off, turn screen dimmer to halfway, then turn off shake to wake.

The app is stored on the sdcard when you install it. It needs moved to phone through the settings - application manager area. You'll probably need to link to it in your launcher to access the setting.

Actually, I don't have to do anything special to get it to work. Make sure bluetooth is enabled on both devices. Also make sure that Bluetooth tethering is enabled. Once you activate the Nook tether app (turns green), check the status on your phone. The bluetooth icon should now have inward arrows surrounding it. Finally check the paired bluetooth device settings. The Motoactv should have Internet connection sharing enabled.

BTW someone suggested to download the BT Auto Tethering app to enable bluetooth tethering at startup.

*edit* Just like wifi the Nook tethering app gets disconnected fast. The issue may be the same, but I think if you are syncing from the Motoactv app, I think they tend to interfere with one another.

I think that this has to do with the condition some of us purchased our watches. If you bought a reconditioned device, then most likely the battery will not perform at its best. Especially if the device was used for over a year or so.

*edit* Also I think battery life is not the same on all of our devices like inconsistencies between memory and processors. I can get around three days with turning everything off.

Hi, I'm an absolute newbie here and I wanna root my motoactv. it's an 8gb at software 1.7.3 N8 and I keep seeing stuff about it bootlooping and such so I'm trying to avoid destroying my device as best as possible lmao Either way, if I could possibly get some help that would be much appreciated. I found this a link to a website on wikispaces but I'm slightly sceptical to follow it because I cannot find the firmware. I've seen it said that I need to find the About section of the Settings but I don't see it. Help? T_T
[Other SmartWatches] SasakiKaemon:
Ok I rooted and flashed my motoactv but now my computer doesn't recognize it. I tried the adb thing but it's just not working. I go to device manager and it recognizes theres an adb device but i go to command and input adb shell stop adbd NOTHING. T_T
[Other SmartWatches] hellblog:
been using cleard rom and its fantastico!

Have a question about viewing things from the phone via bluetooth on the watch like the sonysmartwatch.. how can i achieve that? any ideas?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Do you have the adb drivers installed? If not, I can get you a link to miniadb, which has everything you need in a neat little zip.

Such as images and things? Possibly a bluetooth file explorer perhaps.

I tried SDK as an adb thingy....didn't quite work. My Device Manager shows ADB Devices and when I connect my Motoactv, it makes the sound that it connects and it charges but I cannot access it. When I do CMD - adb shell stop adbd it states that adb does not exist. Or when I put adb devices it states it does not exist either. I followed the instructions given to me in the sdk, including setting up the path. It still doesn't work. Thank you thank you for any help given and to recieve if you can. I have rooted it and flashed it.

Dunno if it'll link will work or not from phone, but if it doesn't, just copy and paste to the address bar and download. Extract the folder to your desktop and run the runme.bat file to open an adb or fastboot command prompt. That's it. Easy as pie. And both work.

Hi,

just wanted to ask if you've had any success pairing your motoactv to an external bluetooth gps. I was considering the possibility of buying one of these devices and to use an external BT gps (garmin glo) rather than the integrated one. I usually do that with my phone by using the app 'bluetooth gps'. Do you know if that app works in the motoactv?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best,

Angel

Now, I have a new problem. So, I get cleardroid on the watch. I get through the reboot recovery and wipe the daggon thing but when I go to install the rom it aborts it and does not turn on. It stays stuck on the M. I heard it could be the contacts enabler I need to install but I'm afraid I don't know how to install it. I tried doing it in the reboot recovery but that didn't work. T_T help?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Return to stock, flash modified boot image, root, boot, then flash rom without wiping and see if it boots then.

Thanks to a passionate user of Augmented SmartWatch Pro (who happens to be a developer also) we now have a solution that requires no custom rom, no Notify my android and no root and no software on the MotoACTV - it uses the Motorola notification system.

Looking for people to help test - try this trial apk - note a new flag must be enabled (Other Device Options->MotoACTV Watch Options and enable the first two options).

Alright. Where to begin...

To stop ADB on the device after rooting, plug it into the computer and open an ADB command prompt, then type

Code:

adb shell stop adbd

Yep nothing happened this time it was just a coincidence... anyway.... I still haven't got any notification on my motoactv .. no gtalk, email or other.... I'm using the dprom9 ROM... I was reading the help and already set that two first options over the motoactv settings... another thing is that it detects my motoactv but there is a red msg telling that notify my android isn't installed.. do I need that?

Enviado de meu Nexus 7 usando o Tapatalk 2
[Other SmartWatches] aleekwen:
Ensure all other options (the last three) under MotoACTV are disabled and only the first two are enabled.

You can ignore the message (on the status screen)

If you open the motoactv app on android does it recognize the plugin and is it connected to MotoACTV OK over BT?

thanks

[Other SmartWatches] fernandoavc:
Hey thanks for the quick reply!

Yes over the motoactv options I'd only set the two first options... see the screen below that shows also that yes it's connected to my cell over Bluetooth:

[Other SmartWatches] aleekwen:
if you try test notification option does it work and show in MotoACTV?

If so then the notifications for each app must be enabled individually to be shown on watch.

If not we have a more fundamental problem here.

[Other SmartWatches] fernandoavc:
Yeah probably we do... the test doesn't do anything... I'll probably have to back to stock maybe.. I saw some info telling that it was tested with ClearD ROM and also stock one is that right? Maybe I should move to them....

Uninstall the app and reinstall with this newer one - also maybe even uninstall the motorola app also it may be dependent on order of installs.

Music player

Hey guys....

I don't usually post on forums for fear of being flamed for asking something stupid..... but....

I want to be able to use Zeam solely without launcher2, but there aren't any music players out there that really show up looking right. Is there a way to get the player that launcher2 uses installed as its own app, or does anyone know of an app out there like it? I was hoping someone made one like the nano with the left/right slide, but the market doesnt have anything. I've just recently come to the actv from wearing a nano on my wrist for a year. My primary use is as an mp3 player. using this gives me access to a few extra perks like netflix.

any advice? I checked running programs and 'music' shows up in there, so i went and found what i thought would be the right thing in /system/app but it just comes up as an apk and i dont think that would be what i was looking for. Any way to maybe make a shortcut to just that player?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I'm from Israel and I bought the MotoACTV in the United States and therefore I have an American version.

Now I want to update the European version device Can I do it?

Please if you can help me and bring me the European version.

Is it the European version : MA_1710_8GB_EU

and how do I install it on my MotoActv (I have now the ClearDroid_ACTV_1.1.6_D on my MotoActv).

Please help me!!!

Thanks,

I have my 8gb mostly set up, but it will not let me download and install apps from either google play on the device("no connection") or remotely via web browser on another device.

Also is there a way to put "unsupported" play apps on this thing?(trying to test usb audio recorder pro on it)
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
How do you have it set up? Which Rom are you using? Most of them come with this ability already. To sideload, use ADB.
[Other SmartWatches] Nexus Avro:
Stuff

This is [MENTION=1478148]ClearD[/MENTION]....

I have like 5 posts on my account, so I cannot comment on the thread specific to your rom. I understand XDA's policy but its still crap that I can't give you feedback you are asking for. So anyway. I'm going to work on upping my post count over 10, but I usually don't post unless I've drained all resources and have to actually ask about something. Hence.... low post count. I'll just have to go say hi to people in the Nexus 7 forums or something.

Anyway.... 3 things:

1. I have a copy of your alpha. I just got done reloading everything from your last release so i'll make a backup and reflash and let you know what I encounter.

2. I know nothing about actually editing this stuff. I had Android kitchen and Android multitool open last night and almost went cross-eyed... So I leave the genius work up to you. There should be an XML in Launcher2.apk in /system/app (this is all based on an assumption) that tells the launcher what the spacing on the icons in the app drawer should be... If the launcher were a normal one that is. In Zeam you can specify icons per column/row. You obviously cant if you are jumping from the motoactv screen into the drawer.. and with 120dpi, my icons look like jumbled mashed ass. Can you either tell me how to fix that or incorporate it somehow?

3. Lastly, You seem to pay more attention to this than some of the other developers.... Shouldn't this get its own area on XDA? The smart watches are just a catch-all of posts. This thing is a true android device and deserves its own category. Any way we can suggest to XDA that they clean this up a bit? I'm sure you noticed how many people are asking "what is adb? how do i root? what does this do?" etc.. probably half the posts here could be cleaned up if XDA organized this a bit.

And of course, thank you for your hard work on the rom. It's people like you that allow me to continue to geek out in comfort.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
1. Excellent! Thank you!

2. I shall try indeed. The current edit made Launcher2 incompatible without dirty flashing it over an already booted version, so if I make the edit on mine, then add the new data.img into the next version, it should work for everyone else too. It's sloppy, but it works. So, I'll try to do that. I haven't yet really messed around deep inside the system apks, so we'll see what we can come up with.

3. Yes, it should! I mean hell, we've been around here for months and months working on this now. This page alone is over 300 pages or something now, isn't it? At least we have the new "Smart watch" area, where I started a full actv info post right here which includes this post and all of the known roms and information we have available that I know of so far. It's my new "go-to" of sorts.

Then again, right now, I've got 7 XDA threads constantly opened about the actv...
[Other SmartWatches] Nexus Avro:
Yeah... I went and looked at the Ouya forum and even they are more organized and most of our Ouyas are stuck in customs somewhere in China for all I know. Yeah... they've been developing for like 5 months but you've been doing it for over a year.

Coming back to the fact that I know nothing about shoving my hands inside android itself and playing with the guts... And I dont even know if this is possible.... but isnt there a way to hack each section of the moto launcher down into it's own piece and encapsulate it into an apk or a widget? I mean... like. Say I wanted to run DP's ReACTV but still wanted the moto music player or the clock + pedometer + calorie thing (they dont make a widget that displays in that exact format... i looked for like 3 hours). is there a way to grab just that part? Maybe I'm blowing out my ass; I don't know.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
2 part answer; yes and no.

Short answer: It all depends on the existing framework.

Long answer: Dproldan's ReACTV rom is AOSP based, meaning it has AOSP framework as the underlying... well... framework. In order to have the original ACTV apps working, they have required resources that need to be accessed that are only available in the actual ACTV framework. Meaning, without the ACTV launcher and resources, they can't function and force close. Could it be done? Sure, but it would be a ridiculously difficult undertaking that's well beyond my own abilities, and possibly even his. Closest thing is a secondary launcher, otherwise it's basically one or the other at this point. :(

Just a heads up

bluetooth PAN for root users

"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.bluetoothpan&hl=en"

Is miles better than nook color tether. It runs as a service and not a widget, and has configuration options (if you've got multiple paired devices, you can choose which one to PAN over). Only problem is that it has ads.

That issue is actually a fundamental bug with android. Basically the functions that report connectivity ignore everything that isn't a mobile or wifi connection. As I understand it, using a usb ethernet adapter suffers the same problem on units with USB OTG.

It is possible to have wifi connected and have all data flow over the bluetooth DUN with clever routing, and everything works, but that doesn't actually help us with our primary goal, which is to have connectivity without the power bill that wifi incurs.

Hey. I just snagged a Motoactv in good condition for $60 dollars just wanting to check it out. Its a nice little thing.

I just rooted it (following the wiki site) and was trying to get into CMW last night when I knocked out and woke up to find the watch on the CMW recovery mode. I am familiar with rooting and such (HD2, S3, Moto Atrix).

Thing is that when trying to flash the CDroid over CMW, cant. The external drive connection in normal mode wont show. Nor when trying to mount USB in CMW.

Any idea what to do?
