Unfortunately, they're a device bt device thing. The 16gb does not have a repack because cmw doesn't have a 16gb to grab these files from.

Hey jay,

I backed up my data and user data manually .. I want to use your batch script restore them ... Were do i place my imgs for that to happen?
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
Anyone try the hacked Motoactv.apk alongside their modded units? I have it loaded on my Evo 3D and so far...it just works to let me know I missed a call. Texts (using handcent) aren't coming thru and no "answer" prompt. Wondering if it was just me.

Update: got the call feature working with a reboot. Texts; make sure "privacy" isn't checked in options as it's set yes by default.
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
For v0.1, they go in the root folder along with Start.bat. I am working on the new version as I'm posting this that supports multiple backups.

Hop on the IRC if you're not busy.
[Other SmartWatches] got556:
You guys are really making me want to pick one of these up. Amazon has them for $209 with a free wrist strap. :-) What kind of battery life are you guys getting after modding?
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
Did a few tests, my experiences:

- Only using it as a Watch to check time on WidgetLocker Lockscreen I'm on my 3rd day without a charge and the battery is at 70%.

- Keeping the Wifi on, was able to go a full day and a half before I started really messing with it and killed the battery.
[Other SmartWatches] nosit1:
About 6 hours extremely heavy usage.

That's with wifi on, a couple of applications running, pushing it to its limits.
[Other SmartWatches] IseeBrickedPhones:
I have an 8gb version - my only difference between you guys devices and mine is the OS version number. I believe I have the same bootloader version from looking at CMW's pix.

Might bite the bullet and just do it if someone can confirm that their bootloader and the patched boot.img is 3.11 too.

I am hoping that CMW based his custom boot.img on 3.11 - then it may only be the root which doesnt work...
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
Thanks, heavy usage is just about the only battery test I haven't done lol
[Other SmartWatches] deciocavallo:

I am happy to report that the "rooting" method and boot.img work on my 16G MOTOACTV ver 4.56.76
[Other SmartWatches] reddog:
OK Jay4255..Thanks for the input. I will use rootexplorer to find the PackageName.

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

Where do I find the apk for Amazon Appstore tried Googling and not having any luck..
[Other SmartWatches] thejtdude:
system.img and userdata.img

I know this has been mentioned a few times in here but I cannot seem to track down a download anywhere. My system.img and userdata.img managed to get corrupted on my PC. Could someone help me and provide me with a copy of these?

Thanks in advance.

I have the 16 Gig watch and was able to successfully root and install a new launcher. All was well until I began to make some file changes in attempt to get the market to work.
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
For system integrity, I wouldn't recommend using the system.img from a 8gb version. You should hop on the IRC and find someone with a 16gb version like you have.
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
If you do NOT remove the stock launcher and Moto APKs:

MotoLauncher system: Workout functionality, Music (with radio), BT sync with Phone incl Receive calls; missed call notification; Recv Text messages; Weather updates. Non-Moto phones require the hacked Motoactv APK (confirmed working on an HTC Evo3D. I have a OG Evo 4G I will test on and an HTC Inspire as well) All BT notifications present a FC error message but the notifications do push.

Synced with phone via BT and with WiFi on: I managed nearly 8 hours with light-moderate use (including syncing via Airdroid and radio use). My phone needed to be plugged in before the Motoactv needed it.

I'll try again today while at work and see what I can manage.

I am very impressed for what amounts to a "Toy" I bought out of boredom.
[Other SmartWatches] spartan1987:
I just got my motoactv and it came with the new update 4.53.50. Is it possible yet to root? I also am having issues getting it to connect to WiFi bc of the firewall and I can't seem to find any answers to resolve it. My network is private and password protected, so I don't get why it's doing this. I disabled antivirus and windows firewall to check, but no dice. Help would be greatly appreciated!
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
Are you syncing your Actv to your computer and then finding the Wifi network (as per the instructions)? Motocast has the setup tool embedded.

Once rooted it was just a matter of connecting to a wifi source and entering the password key to jump on. My firewall had no affect on it.
[Other SmartWatches] spartan1987:
Yes I followed the instructions with Motocast.

I still need to know if I can root the ACTV on my current firmware. Need a dev here please. :)

EDIT: Nevermind, I got help from jay and i'm good to go. This is awesome!
[Other SmartWatches] manielse:
Just to close the loop on this subject: Sony Smartwatch dissected, found not very hacker-friendly liliputing. com/2012/04/sony-smartwatch-dissected-found-not-very-hacker-friendly.html

So it looks like the Sony Smartwatch APKs are essentially useless for the MotoACTV as they must make some calls to Sony's proprietary system (unless one could emulate the interaction which would be pretty difficult).

So now, I'm hoping we can find some info on the expensive imwatch and it's cool looking watch-optimized apps.

My new Plantronics BackBeat Go's work GREAT! http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/backbeat-go/
[Other SmartWatches] cleblanc92:
Volume +/- and Pause are all the Plantronics headset supports on any device and those work on the MotoActv as well as my Droid X.

I am not bluetooth expert, but I thought A2DP was supporting streaming of stereo audio and mic support, not so much a hardware control spec like track advance. I'll tell ya, if the MotoActv hardware buttons were not there I would really want a more capable BT headset but since I have the MotoActv in the arm or wrist band it's a non-issue for me.

I am looking forward to MotoActv 2.0, thinner, and better battery life. I am enjoying it so far!
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Thanks to dproldan's work, I just updated the ClearDroid rom to 1.1.2, now with a working (and updating) market! :)

Will put it out after thorough testing and probably a few more builds... I forgot to include the key layout. :p
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Woot, I'm stoked for that
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Market works on mine, just downloaded angry birds space (lol), and instead of including a key layout WITH the device, there's become a new interest in making a rooted APK that will actually change it on the fly, then reboot the device. Bdaman80 said he might try to check out that route. :)

Either way, the new version is uploaded to my server, and TEG will test it out tomorrow morning, and I'll post it here when he's done lol.
[Other SmartWatches] nycghost:

My MotoACTV 2.0 wish list:

1. Vibration/external audio (alarms)

2. Better battery life

3. Thinner

4. Better bluetooth

5. Pico projector

6. Camera for video chat (**** Tracy style!)

Oh, and...

7. Siri-like interface but with Dr. Theopolis' face/voice.
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
Would I be correct in thinking that some apps work, after installing (sideloading?) the .apk, and others force close? If so, is there a list of tested apps?
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
What is the Android version of the 5.6.0 ROM? I'm interested to know if I'll be able to connect through my work's HTTP proxy (as this isn't available in Gingerbread). At least the ACTV will be rooted so I can install a third party proxy support (I use ASProxy on my phone) but the problem is I have no way of knowing if it will work on the ACTV.

When I purchase an ACTV I will be happy to post working app lists, which features work etc., but the only issue keeping me from buying it is whether I can use an audio player that has bookmarking functionality. As the price tag is steep I need to be confident about that before I visit any shops.
[Other SmartWatches] ebennnett44:
Awesome! Can't wait to try ClearDroid 1.1.2

What do you guys think the odds are of ever getting a custom vanilla rom for this device? Not being able to use Slacker and Google music the way I do on all my other devices is going to drive me mad.
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
I dunno how you were spared so many FC's but I get a ton still. On or off wifi. Play does not work flawlessly; Search doesnt work and a separate app is needed for searching the market. Maps FC's; it wouldnt display my location (among a bunch of misc quirks) and I had to uninstall/re-install to restore basic functionality...but it still FC's. It was working better prior to the GAPPS install.

It was suggested by the OP to use Go Contacts to sync with the Google contacts; Using that app displays my contacts but I cannot access the individuals to view their info (FC's). Suggestions would be appreciated. Gmail works now (yay!).

All in all it's an improvement on the GAPPS development, but a long way from a stable fix.

If you install GAPPS, beware of the stability issues. You will need to re-install the modded package installer because the GAPPS file will not work. If you loaded Cyanogen wallpaper files, you will need to re-push them again. If you arent willing to deal with FC issues, dont install the GAPPS package.

If the search issue can be resolved I would def say this is worth it, otherwise gmail and market access with regular FC may not be worth the added hassles.
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Version 2.3.4, so yes, Gingerbread.
[Other SmartWatches] tansoftware:
Progress so far...

While I understand what difficulties you might be going through...

I'll share what I've accomplished so far:

- Stripped stock from all Motorola bloatware.

- Replaced framework, libs, and core files from Samsung P1000 & Droid X.

- No more FCs, achieved 95% stability.

- Removed Moto Launcher & replaced with GO Launcher EX.

- Installed, GO Facebook, Go Twitter, GO Weather, & GO Calendar, GO Contacts, GO Dialer.

- Modified internal USB settings. Now able to switch between Motorola Phone Portal,

Windows Media Sync, USB Mass Storage, Phone as modem, or None(Charge Only) as

USB settings.

- Accessed pull down status bar with full system notifications.

- Contacts fully working and syncing.

- Calendar fully working and syncing.

- Gmail fully working with notifications.

- Google Talk... Still working on this one. So far, text chatting works, incoming and

outgoing voice calls, incoming video chats crash.

- Google Maps, Latitude, spaces, and Navigation work perfectly without any FCs.

- Google Music, Google Gallery 3D, and Live wallpaper fully working.

- Droid VNC server working perfectly.

- Added new bluetooth libs to enable BT-DUN profile... Many other profiles on the way.

- Play is extremely stable and no longer crashes. (I'm running out of space :-P) You

should try Play's remote install option :-) Browse Play from your PC, login to your

Play account, search for any app you want, click install and choose your Moto watch

as target device, click install, Play will push app to your Moto Watch remotely :-D

- Enabled OpenGL Video acceleration. Played back FLV files in full frame and Audio.

- Youtube & VEVO still drop frames massively. More fine tuning required.

- Replaced Moto's stupid keyboard with "Perfect Keyboard" Amazing results. Full QWERTY

with enough space to see what you're typing.

- Search box libs are still missing. Still working on that.

- Skype still not logging in... Traced issue to missing Camera Libs. Should have a

solution soon by faking virtual cam.

Right now... I am very satisfied with the performance, stability, and usability of the watch.
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
Thank you. That is a much more detailed report. The average user will not have as modified a unit and would have had a much higher expectation that simply loading those modified files would solve all their problems.

We have enough people simply *****ing that slacker doesnt work; it's discouraging to a developer to take on issues when all they hear is negative comments with zero detailed feedback. Like wise it sucks to read how something works at curing 95% of issues only to find out it causes more issues than it solves if not loaded to an exact spec.

...and I hear ya on the space issue. 8 gigs and they only allot a tiny fraction system, WTF? I have to be real picky about what I install.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
For the world to test:

ClearDroid MotoACTV Version 1.1.2

Wipe cache and dalvik, then flash. There is no launcher included, and the rom will reset your key layout (change it back to whatever you use with jay's easymodder script).

The market may freeze once or twice the first couple of times you open it and sign in, but do not worry. That is the market updating to the latest market version. Hit the back button, wait a few seconds, then open it again.

The search button does not work yet, but the rest of the market works. Be sure to keep watch over your app storage space, as apps won't download if it is too low.
[Other SmartWatches] kensikora:
Wow, that is seriously modified. That definitely explains a lot.

So, how many of those modifications are going into ClearD's new ROM? I haven't been on this thread for a few days, I am feeling a little behind the times. I don't know who's working with whom on what. But working Play store is a huge deal, especially when it comes to updates.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Not nearly that many. I try to keep things simple while retaining all the stock functionality. :)

Dproldan's contacts fix, market app, market updater are the newest additions, along with all the previous things listed on the wiki. And app updates work perfectly.
[Other SmartWatches] kevina90:
Wow, thats great. When you're done with those missing libs I would love to see that. Mind uploading when you're done?
[Other SmartWatches] bercut65:

Cannot get 1.1.2 to boot, same problem as the 5.6.0 "stock" roms, hangs at the "M" logo. Tried without wipe and with no difference, this is a 16gb version if that matters...

Need help...

I'm currently experimenting with different bluetooth profiles as part of our custom Rom development.

I am facing difficulties with tethering the MotoACTV via Nook Tether to another phone...

What I would like to know is the following:

- Where would you install Nook tether on ? On the watch ? or the server phone ?

- What bluetooth profile is used to supply the watch with a BT internet connection ?

- What is the procedure to install nook tether and initiate an internet connection ?

- Which phones support such a profile ?

My ultimate goal is to mimic the same activity on blackberry phones utilizing the Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) to avoid incurring additional monthly data charges since BIS is unlimited. I have been able to activate the BT-DUN profile on my Blackberry phone through customized high level drivers. My PC sees the blackberry device as a DUN modem and connects to it. The Motoactv does not...

I would really appreciate any in depth info on this matter.

Thanks :-)
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Does it get to the boot animation at all? From what I understood from CEnnis91, the boot image in version 1.6.6 (the base used in CD 1.1.2) is the same for both the 8 and 16 gig versions. Are you doing a full wipe first or just flashing overtop of your existing rom?
[Other SmartWatches] sargist:
Hi, I've downloaded the file to SDcard, and through clockworkmod recovery I wiped the cache and the dalvik, when I choose the zip from sd card it says

"_MotoACTV_1.1.2_A.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted"

I'm currently on 5.60 rooted version, any idea of what I'm doing wrong???

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Looks like it might be a bad download, try downloading again? :)
[Other SmartWatches] sargist:
Hi, I've tried that with no success, actually it happened the same thing when I tried to update to 1.1.1 I had the same result, is there any other way to install the update?

Thanks again ;)
[Other SmartWatches] nosit1:
So far so well.

This doesn't contain the modified package installer?
[Other SmartWatches] blaxer:
I have done a full wipe, many permutations, including formatting /system prior to installing 1.1.2 and it just hangs at the "M", no boot animation. I have even tried fastboot flash boot using the boot.img in the 1.1.2 zip... no dice...
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Nope, clockworkmod only. You might try re-rooting. There was also an update to clockworkmod a while back, that may very well be your problem. Download root tool version 1.1.4 and run the "root" function again to reinstall the latest one. :)

THANK YOU! I just realized myself tonight that I forgot that. Working on 1.1.3 right now, but it's acting weird. :)

If it doesn't even get to the animation, chances are it's a bad boot image. Do you have a rooted 16G?
[Other SmartWatches] blaxer:
I am using the root tool 1.1.4, I can do a "stock rooted" works fine, CD 1.0.0 no problem, CD 1.1.0 no problem, CD 1.1.1_b stuck at "M", CD 1.1.2_A stuck at "M".... does that help? I have tried re-downloading everything several times...

Can't get any of these "stock" images to work, (stuck at "M"), http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1534073
[Other SmartWatches] sargist:
I re-rooted again as you said and got the same results, I wonder if my 1gb partition has anything to do or the app I use to enter clockworkmod (ROM Manager)

Any other piece of advice?

Thanks again for your support
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
Are there any differences between MotoACTVs sold in the US and the EU that will cause problems with rooting or getting the ROM to work?
[Other SmartWatches] kensikora:
Still no dice for me. It causes constant soft reboots. It's definitely the GoogleServicesFramework.apk, since removing that through ADB shell stops the reboots.

This was the same issue that I had when I tried pushing the Google Apps on my own.
[Other SmartWatches] goWYO:
Well all, I rooted, it worked fine (except I couldn't use the original motoactv functionality) and now I decided that I liked it better as a workout aid.... so I "returned to stock" with the root tool from ClearD... and now I have the same old motoactv... with less storage.. and no ability to connect to my computer. I can still manipulate it through with adb.. but I cannot get my computer to recognize it as storage to load music! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Ideally I'd like to wipe the partition too... but I'd settle for just getting it to mount as a USB. Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
Open an ADB shell and isue this command

am start -a com.android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS

Untick the first option. This is permanent. You'll have to reroot for adb to work again.
[Other SmartWatches] chino0131:
You should be able to use both the original functions as well as the rooted functions. Did you map buttons? I set my music button to "Home", which allowed me to choose between the stock Moto launcher and Zeam anytime I wanted. I can still use all functions perfectly. Only difference is when plugging in to the computer, I have to stop ADB to get the Moto app on my computer to recognize the Motoactv. Try the link below and use the MotoActv Easy Modder if you wana keep the rooted functions as well as the stock. If not, try ClearD's tool again to return to stock. If your Actv isnt recognized on the computer, try the Easy Modder option to stop adb, or type in the following command: adb shell stop adbd. Hope that helps
[Other SmartWatches] goWYO:
So i'm working through Jaysen's interface (easy modder?).. in the "run a custom ADB Command" feature, and i type :

adb shell (gets me into shell)

am start -a com.android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS

it says:

Starting: Intent { act=com.android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS }

.. then all i get is the $ sign for a new command

@ Chino - If i can't get it to return to stock correctly.. I'll go ahead and run it in split mode. Truth be told.. i bought this off a kid who was modding it and didn't know what he was doing... so i've been retracing his steps.. and getting it all pieced back together. I finally got Zeam working and ran the browser... and realized.. that this screen is ridiculously small haha.. i've got all the root functions that i need on my phone.. so i've just not been seeing the benefit to having my watch rooted. BUT, if i COULD do both, and have them both WORK... i'd do it i think. So, having used ClearD's "return to stock" ... do i have to root again and start all over? am i going to have to form another partition? (yep... i guess i'm THAT guy.)

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

Well, i'm not sure if it was the command from dproldan.. or what, but when i connected to my computer this time.. it gave me the option on my motoactv to disable usb debugging.. and viola.. all just like normal again. Does this mean i'm officially un-rooted, if the command didn't work like normal? or did my motoactv just finally remember to give me the option to turn debugging off??
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
Yes, that was the command I gave you. You had to untick the option on the motoactv display.

You are still rooted. But you can't access it from adb anymore, so there's no difference.
[Other SmartWatches] goWYO:
Got it! K.. last question (unlikely, i know) now that i've done that, can i go through the root process again? or have i essentially locked the door behind me?
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
1) I would not suggest removing ADB like that. Use GS script and run a stop ADB command instead (will restart after a reboot or can be manually turned on with a start ADB script).

2) Sounds like the stock launcher was removed. You may want to back up everything, wipe the unit and start from scratch.

I have full access to the Motoactv launcher and Zeam installed. Truth be told I use the Moto as intended 90% and only check email etc once in a while. There is no need to re-map keys with the use of button savior.
[Other SmartWatches] blaxer:
I have some more information, I don't think it's the boot.img at all. I was able to use the root tool 1.1.4, return to stock then fastboot erase boot / fastboot flash boot.img using the boot.img inside the CD 1.1.2_A zip and it booted just fine.

The problem seems to be with CWM and the update.zip's themselves, I cannot seem to get it to finish all the way it pretty much always hangs at the end and reboots itself. Is there any way to get a 1.1.2_a system.img to try? I think it might work... I am using CWMR5x_F100_recoveryB.img recovery....

Thanks!
