Reboot your computer and the device.

For those with battery drain issues: wait on a root tool update or (if you're able) just use CEnnis91's AnyRoot flash to make a new boot image. I'm about 90% sure it is the old boot image that's causing the problem with battery, as CEnnis91 mentioned earlier it has changed. I've got the new image made using his tool, but I need to update when I get home. I almost released a 1.1.6 tool, containing both 8 and 16 gig versions, but so far, there aren't any differences that I'm aware of.

I'll be home tomorrow. :)

Thank you all for your birthday wishes! They mean a lot to me!

[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
The only difference in the boot.imgs now are the timestamps, so having separate images is only relevant for stock images.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Even between 1.6.6 and 1.7.3?

Edit: oops, misread lol. No differences between the 8 and 16 gig versions, got it! :)

wifi turning off fix

This is a quick hack that will stop wifi from turning itself off.

extract the zip from the link and, depending on what version you are running, issue this commands from a terminal:

adb remount

adb shell mv /system/framework/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar1

adb push services66.jar /system/framework/services.jar

adb reboot

or

adb remount

adb shell mv /system/framework/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar1

adb push services72.jar /system/framework/services.jar

adb reboot

some background: The motoactv is keeping a list of which programs have started wifi, and checks if those programs are still alive every minute. If they're not running anymore, wifi is turned off.

The problem is happening because we usually turn on wifi using "settings" (or the power widget that calls settings), and settings gets killed after some browsing because the MotoACTV hasn't got a lot of memory.

I just edited the timer that is checking for the running programs.

Don't install this if you don't know how to get back, you can get bootloops if not correctly done.

MotoACTV Root Tool Version 1.1.6

MotoACTV Root Tool Version 1.1.6

Need someone to test it, but that's got the latest boot image (for 1.7.2/3) worked into it. :)

Going to give it a shot and see if all goes well, will report back on my findings.

Thanks for making such a great tool...

Did you tested it on your MotoACTV?

Thanks,

[Other SmartWatches] camaro1173:
I have just used the new tool and I am going to be gone for the rest of the day. I have not seen any problems right off the start, I am going to be taking bike ride today as well I will see if I find any problems.

So far I have installed GO Launcher v3

Drop box

lcd changer

so far I have not seen anything not working I have also tested that I still get notifications pushed to my watch, (yes they still work facebook texts weather )

I hope that the battery drain problem is gone I will report how the battery does for the day when I return tonight.

I hope you find this info helpful...

Well It is now all most 6pm about 3 hours later since the above post. Here are my thoughts on the battery.

1. It is a thousand times better !!!!!

Why do I say this, let me tell you my thoughts. I rooted my watch the night before. This morning I went and installed the above apps as you know. At this point it was 10 am with 90% of the battery left. I left the house for the day to see my dad few towns away about a 25 min motorcycle ride one way. My watch was paired to my phone and listening to the mp3 player for the whole trip there and back so total time about 1hr. Spent some time there and came home then spent about 1 1/2 hours cutting the grass with mp3 player on as well. Met up with a friend and we headed out to do some mountain biking. Turned on the workout for cycling, as all you know this in turn turns on the GPS so it tracks your route. Our total ride was just about 1hr, 8 miles long. So as you can see I have used it for a good amount of time today, even now as I type my watch is still paired to my phone. oh! by the way I also synced my workout. So you ask yourself as you read this long winded post what is left for battery now..... Ok at this very moment 8 hrs later I have an amazing 40% left so I would have to say the battery problem is no longer a problem.

2. Now that I know this is fixed I need to find out if anyone is going to make a simple stock rom with just the basic extra apps. Like launcher and installer apk and the rest of the apps needed to for the play store and to be able to turn wifi on and off. Well if anyone knows about someone making said Rom a heads up would be welcome.

I flashed the new boot.img with 1.1.6 but when rebooting and trying to root i still get two emulators are running and wont root and i cant use easy modder tool to reboot into recovery either ...any suggestions?

Edit: nvm a computer problem ...working now

edit: only issue im having now is i cant install apks to proper location as it has changed in 1.7.2 and i cant figure out how to turn off usb debugging so i can get stuff to my sd lol ...oh well lets test battery and then come back to this later
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
Woah woah, red flag hold up! First it's highly suggested that you never swap that kind of file while Android is actually running, but I do understand our limitations. I would suggest you turn this into an update.zip, but I won't demand it. I DO DEMAND this however:

Please, please, please 'chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar' after it has been pushed!!!

If not we could have A LOT of people with non-booting systems. dproldan probably didn't have an issue because Linux wouldn't mess up the permissions as much, but after downloading this ESPECIALLY to Windows the permissions could (and most likely will) get all messed up.

Has anyone tried this on the 1.7.3 up date and is this something we can flash in clock work recovery?
[Other SmartWatches] camaro1173:
Ya this is not a good idea at all to try and do I tried flashing this on 1.7.3 and ended up it boot loop after boot loop no fun at all.

I finally got it back and booted up but my problem now is that I am stuck at 1.7.2 I can not up date to 1.7.3 and I do not understand why not all the up date system say is that your device is up to date and shows version MA 1.7.2 N8

Does anyone have any idea how to get the next update?????

Any help is greatly welcome
[Other SmartWatches] IronChase:
I pushed services66.jar (after a backup) via Windows XP, and I'm running fine without any issues (I'm still on 1.6.6 M8). I've rebooted several times, and no problems. WiFi is staying on consistently without using a power widget or any other 'stay on' apps I've previously used.

I was unable to 'chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar'. I get an "unrecognizable command" error.

1.7.3 hasn't got the Golf application.
[Other SmartWatches] camaro1173:
Thanks for the info I do not need the golf thanks thought is that the only diff?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Motorola made 2 software branches for our device. One has golf, one does not. That is the only difference as far as I'm aware.

1.6.6 > 1.6.12 > 1.7.2 (all have golf)

1.6.7 > 1.6.13 > 1.7.3 (no golf)

Thanks for the update on this one question.

Is there a way to get in to recovery from Fast boot?

I ask because I am stuck at a boot loop I tried to flash the resinged-apps for 7.2 system and I did wipe the cache like it said and still stuck.

thank you again
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Thank you for the update. I'm very happy it works. :) It was one of those "it SHOULD work, so I'm gonna release it to test anyways" sort of things.

Thank you for being my alpha tester!

On to question 2; dproldan has released his stock rom, which looks amazing. I'll try to make an update also to my mod and see if I can include the launcher.

Try returning to stock (root tool) and then re-rooting. That's probably your best bet if you can only get into fastboot. Without ADB access, you can't get into recovery yet afaik.

OR: Try this command in fastboot:

fastboot -w

That will do a quick cache wipe in fastboot.
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
You'll know that something is wrong on the first reboot, also chmod is apart of busybox so you will need that.
[Other SmartWatches] camaro1173:
Thanks for the help I have gone the return to stock way before and it will get it out of the loop. The bad part is that you know have to go through all the updates again. I have done that 4 time to night I think I will start all over tomorrow after work.

by the way where would I find this Rom that dproldan released to down load and try out??

Thanks again for the help
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
You could always make a backup to avoid having to redownloading the updates.

Testing 1.1.6

so i just had my motoactv a few days ago, from amazon.uk (and i'm from belgium) so i have a EU version.

I followed all the latest posts and video's on youtube. The 1.1.6 tool worked with my 1.7.2 (also cant update to 1.7.3) but i also got the " two emulators" error.

In my case it was BlueStacks that was running on the background. I had some problems going in and out of adb for putting ClearDroid_MotoACTV_1.1.3_A on the sd. So i did the process like 5 times. I installed launcher pro and started installing dropbox, msn, facebook,skype, all the stuff from the market.

Wifi does go off after a while and i have to put it on again.

1 Big problem for me is that i had to "go back to stock rom" but the 1.1.6 tool put a US version on my device... I can live with it but it would be cool if there was an option in the tool that lets you choose between EU and US.

The keyboard was invisible when using dropbox, in messenger and skype and facebook the motoactv gave errors "force close" when pushing to much at a time.

After using facebook it went into a boot loop. I see the motorola logo and the led and the "complete action using" launcherpro screen but here i have 2 sec that it responds and then it goes back to the motorola logo screen.

I can put the screen off by holding power and start.

So i bought the motoactv to be able to use it as an android device but (not like in the youtube video's) there are still alot of force closes.

However thanks for everyone working on the "project", it's fascinating to see how "users" change the rules!
[Other SmartWatches] camaro1173:
ClearD you are right it was a few pages back and this is what has been giving me all the boot problems, in less I am doing some thing wrong when installing it.

Here is the way that I have been installing it

1 wipe data (I believe that in his post he says just to wipe cache)

2 wipe cache

3 go to in stall zip

4 chose zip form sd card

4 then install said zip

I thought this is the correct way to install correct me if I am wrong please.

[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
There are no differences between EU and US.

They need pushed via ADB to /system/app and chmodded to 644 permissions afterwards. They can't just be installed that easily.

Hi I seen that Dproldan posted about his rom a few pages back.

My problem is that every time I go and on stall from cw recovery I end up in boot loop with it unless I am doing g something wrong.

To start with his link goes to google docs I assume that you just down load them all in a zip file. This is what I did.

I then place them on sd card go to recovery clear cache and data and install the zip right.

ClearD please give mr a hand with this if you can thank you.

Missing fastboot drivers

Hi could anyone shed any light on this problem?

I have used and rooted my 8gb device with no problems, yesterday I gave the return to stock a try to get the latest offical updates.

That all worked fine , but when I now enter fastboot mode and connect the usb to my pc I get the double tone and usb device not reconized message, and thus unable to flash anything.

Usb mode works fine in normal mode and I can access the storage area fine?

[Other SmartWatches] camaro1173:
I think the reason that it does not see it any more is that your no longer rooted. Will the modified boot img You might have to redo step 1 in the tool just pick the right version of system IE 1.7.2/1.7.3

I hope this helps.

I too am getting this error.

I have been away for a few days and now I am in a situation where I have to re-learn everything. Luckily the motoactv wikispaces web page should make it easy. I looked and saw that I have Root Tool 1.1.6

I have the wifi and the battery problems so I am forced to upgrade to resolve them.

Does anyone have any warnings or suggestions before I re-attempt to do this? Should I restore back to rooted stock or should I go back to unrooted stock?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
What is the exact error, and where is it shown? Can you copy/paste all of it for me?

If you're on 1.7.2 or 1.7.3, the button combination to take your device into fastboot has changed. You no longer use start + power, you now use volume down + power (like most other android devices lol).

Were you taking it into fastboot properly? Also, did you try restarting your computer?
[Other SmartWatches] delboydell:
I am on 1.6.13.

yes I have tried restaring my pc, and I have tried entering fast boot by using both ways(it enters fast boot holding power and either vol up, vol down,start).

the drivers just have gone missing? as it works fine as mass storage when booted normally.
[Other SmartWatches] EvilGenius210:
When I try to click the link to download the new tool it says...

and does not even show the web page. It also does it on the wikispace web page link as well.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
On 1.6.13, you have to enter fastboot with start + power, I believe... and on 1.7.2/3, you have to use volume down + power. Volume up + power is not fastboot, iirc.

I'll look more into it after...

Great. My server has erased about 10 or more of my links. Effing wonderful. I'll have to go in and fix it tonight. Sorry for the delay guys.

EDIT: That one link has been restored. There are still 11 missing. No Rom for a while, until I go in and manually enter every PHP link again. That's what I get for not backing up often enough.

[Other SmartWatches] auz-auz:
I use Copilot live. Initially It wouldn't install properly. But when I returned to stock then rerooted and reflashed, and made it my first installation it worked.

With Google maps you can try to cache the map area when you have WiFi. But that doesn't always help when you change destination. Alternatively you can tether to your phone through bluetooth using Nook Tether on the motoactv and use the phones mobile data.

I noticed that you can download official weather, facebook and twitter app for motoactv. Does it mean there should be some way to install dedicated apps w/o rooting device?

I believe Motorola is planning a Motoactv 2. I recently received an invitation for a 'exercise device survey'. Asked me for my devices I had a singled out the Motoactv. 30 minutes long yadayada. What I wanted in a new one. Sponsored by Motorola Mobility.

Okay, so I'm new to these forums and I just bought a 16GB MOTOACTV primarily as a music player for running/workouts. But since I bought the 16GB model, and knowing that it can be rooted, I'm really curious as to finding some expanded uses for this device.

I'm going to go read through this thread right now from start to finish (as quickly as I can with it being over 200 pages long...probably read bits and pieces throughout today), but in the meantime, I'm curious about the best uses that are unlocked by rooting it. Any quick insight some of you guys could provide while I read the backlog of this thread would be much appreciated.

First off, does it lose any of it's native capabilities by rooting it? Like, whatever software is already installed on it, does that continue to function after rooting?

Secondly, for those of you who have rooted yours, what's the killer applications that you've found use for on a device of this size? I think I saw Google Maps being a pretty cool one on such a small device. Does using Google Maps require a constant data connection from a phone, or is it all GPS / offline based?

I'm currently charging my MOTOACTV for the first time, so I haven't even turned it on yet. As such, I'm not familiar with the software that's pre-installed on the device. I saw someone in the following Youtube video had installed a stopwatch app, and that sort of obvious functionality for a watch-type device would seem ideal, of course, if it wasn't already included with the pre-installed software.

[can't post the Youtube link, not really that important anyway]

I've got an unlocked Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile to pair up with this. Really curious as to what the potential of unlocking this device can bring :)

Motoactv as a watch

Hi all,

Thank you so much for the great advances in hacking this little beauty. As I wear it as a watch all day, I needed a proper clock. I have tried quite a few widgets, but none of them fit 100% to the motoactv resolution.

So I did what a true nerd does. I made one.

I work as a webdesigner, so I am not the greatest app developer - but I know html/css. So I created one using the canvas element,and made a bundle using phonegap.

This is a very early alpha. All it does is showing an analogue clock. But I hope to add selectable backgrounds, date and other useful stuff.

One question I have though - my wifi seems to be crappy on large files. When I use spotify, i can only sync a file or two before it goes slow and spotify toggles between online/offline. I have the same behavior using box.net. When I used reverse teathering, i got to sync a couple of files this morning. Has anyone experienced the same? It would be handy to be able to sync larger files without a cable. (I´ve used the bat scripts, have two launchers (tried both) - factory reset and the whole deal to no help.)

And another tip. To use audible, use dpi changer to log in - after that, the application works at normal dpi.

(I have NO idea if my signing of the APK is ok. It works on my watch, but please tell if I´ve done something odd)

-- Edit --

Removed APK, as I had compiled it with all kinds of crazy permissions from standard phonegap. New APK uploaded in later post :)
[Other SmartWatches] NORCALkID:
I have had issues with my wifi at home and i think it might have to do with the type of security you router has but thats probably me talking out my ass lol. When i hook my Actv to my phones wifi tether i have no problems at all

[Other SmartWatches] kjartanm:
actvClock v.1.1

..and I made some tweaks.

- No toolbar

- Now with date

- .. and no more insane permissions. I had just ticked off standard phonegap, so the application wanted all sorts of insane permissions :)

I hope this works better.
