Motorola released separate OTAs for the US and UK versions, if one of those has a complete boot.img, anything is possible.

Custom Clock Faces

I noticed when looking at the file system that there is a folder for each clock face.

Look like there is a set of images and a XML document for each of the faces.

Has anyone figured out the XML format and how can create custom faces?

p.s - DroidExplorer works awesome to view the file system from a PC
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
I'll take a look at it, but first i need to figure out how to get a launcher to flash with the Rom. I have another idea that I'm going to try tonight, so keep your fingers crossed. The first 20-30 builds I've done so far have turned up no good.
[Other SmartWatches] sixtycent_:
well I have also rooted my Motoactv whit MotoACTV Root Tool, but im unable to do certain things like search in the Bar Search which forces close, how can I install all the default apps that normally comes with android devices, I don't get the commands that you posted, should I use Command Prompt?

pd: I was able to install Amazon appstore but when I try to install an app it says that "......please click here to add an address to you account (this will open your browser) and try again"
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
You can't. It doesn't work. Period.

Straight from the wiki:

"Q: Can I flash google apps or the android market?

A: No. There is currently NO working version of the android market or the google services framework. Amazon's Market app works, otherwise you will have to sideload apps to your ACTV from another device."

GoogleServicesFramework will force close on you. Over and over. This has been discussed throughout this entire thread over and over. :P

There is absolutely no possible way to get the market to work, or the search bar as far as I know. I have managed to get the market open and logged into my google account, but any attempt to download (even with downloadprovider) results in a force close. There has been 0 progress on the google apps since that, that I'm aware of. If you or anyone else manage to get it working, there is a bounty up for anyone that can post working directions. :)
[Other SmartWatches] sixtycent_:
Your right sorry for my impatience, so i can't install apps from Google Play or Amazon app store? but i was able to install themes or widget from Go Strore directly on my MotoACTV..... also when i tried to use the search bar on Dolphin Mini or Youtube this won't work neither. Is this all related ?

Thanks again :)
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
You can use the amazon app store, and you can download themes from the go store (from the go launcher), assuming you're connected to a wifi network. I would assume the search bar problems would be due to the google search apk not working properly, but I'm not sure...
[Other SmartWatches] th3drow:
if you use the easy modder you can install the package installer easily. with that you can use the amazon app store perfectly fine. as far as the other search bars, those shouldn't have issues as far as i've seen.

Hi Everybody

I have some questions, my MotoActv is right now rooted with firm version 4.55.78, so if I want to update it to the 5.6 rooted version what should I do, also I want to know if all my apps and contend will be erased, finally, does my 1gb partition for apps2sd affects in any way the update?

Thanks a lot!
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Don't wipe data, only cache and dalvik, and flash the 5.6 rooted update over top of your current rom and it will keep all your current apps and data safe.

Regarding apps2sd, the partition itself shouldn't hurt anything, but you might have to re-flash apps2sd (or re set it up) when you flash 5.6. :)

ALSO...

Also... not sure if I publicly stated this or not, but Root Tool 1.1.4 contains a new "Return to Root" button. This button is a 1-click fix all and root. All you have to do is put your device (booting or not) into fastboot, run the one click button, it flashes the insecure bootloader, then all files for 4.55.78, then reboots your device, then roots it, then reboots into clockworkmod recovery. All in one click. So for those of you needing a true one-click root, that's it. But it's better if you do it the other way. ;)
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
uninstall/re-install Amazon. Dolphin worked fine for me til a recent upgrade. It FC on me now as well. I found setting my homepage to Google and just entering queries to be a work around. Personally; Youtube never worked for me either. No biggie.
[Other SmartWatches] sargist:
Ok... that's what I call a fast response, thank you very much.

I don't understand that "cache and dalvik" thing, how do I do that (I'm such a noob, actually if you search for "noob" on google images it pops out my photo :D )

Also where do I find and how can I flash the 5.6 rooted update.

I have just downloaded MotoActv root Tool 1.4
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
To clear cache and clear dalvik cache, reboot your device into recovery, as if you were going to flash a new Rom. To reboot into recovery, the best way I can advise is to use the Rom Manager app (install on your actv, run it, then select the second option down from the top; "Reboot into Recovery").

To navigate through recovery, use volume up and down to navigate, then press power to select an option.

Once in clockworkmod recovery, choose the "Wipe cache" option, then select "Advanced" to get to the advanced menu, then choose "Wipe Dalvik Cache".

Once done with that, you may then "Install zip from SD card" > "Choose zip to install"; and then choose the rom you downloaded onto the actv.

The rooted 5.6.0 zip can be found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1534073

Once you're done, press back, then select the option at the top to reboot your device.
[Other SmartWatches] delboydell:
i was refering to the amazon market place..
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
In that case, I would try modding the build.prop to trick it.
[Other SmartWatches] sargist:
Thanks!!!

ClearD Thank you very much!,

Everything is working perfectly as far as I've seen, even the partition I created for apps2sd is working, I just ran the script and after the reboot is working as goog as before the update.

I really want to thank you and also if you need to test anything or if there is any way I can help you just tell me.

help!!! atrix 4g

while installing epilson rom by evogp, using aroma insaller, everything went great but im stuck in the boot logo and it stays like that forever and ever. so i wanted to reboot into recovey by pressing vol down while its on. but the catch is my vol down botton is messed up and cant access the recovery menu. i tried to adb it but my phone wont even connect to computer
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
This is not an atrix thread, this thread is for the motoactv sports watch. Please post in your appropriate thread. :)

But it sounds to me like you need a new phone. You shouldn't even TRY flashing roms without a volume down button...

EDIT: Not sure if there is one available, but you might try restoring with an RUU from the manufacturer, if there is one available. Not sure how motorola did things with the Atrix.

5.6.0 Flashing problems

Could someone please help me, I'm probably doing something stupid but for the life of me I cannot get 5.6.0 (rooted) to flash. I have the 16gb model and have tried just about everything. To get back to "home base" I have used the root tool 1.14 and selected "return to rooted stock" this works fine and gets me back to a rooted 4.55.78 which works perfectly. Reboot into recovery, clear davlik and cache, flash 5.6.0 rooted and it appears to "hang" at unpacking boot.img, then it reboots and just hangs at the "M" forever. I have tried this 6 ways to sunday, flashing the 5.6.0 boot.img separately, dancing up and down on one foot, rubbing my head and patting my belly....

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I said I am probably doing (or not doing) something very stupid...
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Thank you for being thorough. You don't know how much we appreciate that here.

I am guessing your problem is that the 5.6.0 (and all builds) were made from (and for) the 8 Gb model. I am not sure of the changes, but the 8 gb version and 16 gb version have their own updates, from what I understand, and the builds we have so far were built for only the 8Gb model.
[Other SmartWatches] blaxer:
Ahh that makes sense I should have thought of that. Is there anything I can do to help the process? If it's even something that somebody wants to address? Could I grab some logs or something? Anything I could do to help... Thanks, I really appreciate it.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
I'm not sure we have the links to the update files for the 16gb version. :( If it sticks at the M, before the boot animation, then it's most likely the boot image that's broken, from what I understand. To help that issue, we'd need the update zip from the 16 gb version from the motorola server that contains a boot image we can use. Does that make sense?
[Other SmartWatches] kensikora:
Okay, I have to ask. What's the deal with this "shake to wake" deal? Is this a Motorola thing, or something enabled by an app I've yet to download? I'm on 4.55.78, and I want that.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
New feature in 5.6.0, download the rooted zip and flash it. I'm not sure how to turn it off... it's kind of nice, but I'm constantly turning on my watch when I'm not trying to... not sure how good it is on battery life. :)
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
In the native launcher; tap the main watch display. it will bring up a menu, scroll down to "wake device" and deselect gesture control.;)

For the 16-gig model? Those numbers are the same as the 8 gig, I thought the 16 had a different sequence, but don't quote me on that... this would be a good question for CEnnis91 lol.

You have to manually push them to /system/app using adb. You'll need to google how to mount /system as rw using adb before you can do that.

[Other SmartWatches] sixtycent_:
Thanks for the fast response. What i used is the MotoACTV Easy Modder to install the apps in the MotoACTV, also im not very familiar with ADB is that the same as Command Prompt?

Can you also tell me which lockscreen are you using? im currently using Go Launcher and Go locker doesn't show in landscape mode, I was looking for Ultimate Rotation Control but i couldn't find it outside the Market, I tried using Titanium Backup Pro from my SGS2 but when i tried to installed from Google Play it says that ''my device isn't compatible with this item'' I was wondering if you can attach the apk please.

Yep Solved thanks ClearD

Just found out... theres a new menu...

This is like the coolest christmas present I've recieved! Big thanks to cmw and the XDA Forums!

.. I couldn't get recovery to work so I just plugged in another one (My dad's) and ran the old "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Was able to update from there.

Edit:How do you tone down the sensitivity on the flick wrist thingy!

Everytime I like move it the screen comes on!!!

It's annoying (and its gonna be at 12 when I go to sleep :D)

Double Edit:

Nevermind saw the last page.
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
You are correct, the 16gb model uses different a versioning. It would be 4.56.78-4.56.97. I already have those files anyway there's nothing useful in there as far as I'm concerned. What is exactly trying to be accomplished?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
I believe he was trying to get a rooted 5.6.0 for his 16 Gb model, as the version for 8 gig wouldn't boot. Please correct if I'm mistaken. :)

anyone know how the calories work? I woke up this morning, took it off the charger and it was at 0 steps like i would expect, but like 350 calories burned.
[Other SmartWatches] bdaman80:
Maybe it it assuming 350 to be alive at that point in time. To be honest though. Mine does the same, it will have 0 steps and a thousand or two calories just sitting at home while at work.
[Other SmartWatches] th3drow:
ya i was kinda thinking that too, but it doesn't seem like i would burn that many calories just doing nothing for a few hours, and it doesn't make sense that it calculates your like bodies normal calorie burn anyways, when its an exercise device.
[Other SmartWatches] antEris:
It seems to base those numbers off what the average person your height weight and age would burn in a day withought activity. Then adds to it with how many calories its recorded movement "should" use. :D your body takes gas to run, even of you are just idling.
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
Every night at midnight (your time) the steps and calories reset. It counts the calories from that time that you would burn based upon your height/weight/bmi/age etc. All of the info you give it when you set up the device. It's actually pretty acurate. By the time I wake up in the morning I've burned 400 or so calories while sleeping.

I did back to stock... after that my motoctv can`t connect with motoactv.com by motocast. My display is little cut. How can I update my rooted device to the newest version?? fastboot flash boot 5.6.0.img nothing change still 4.55.78
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
There are so many things wrong with that, I'm not even sure where to begin.

You need to read up on flashing with clockworkmod, first of all...

1. 5.6.0 is not an image, it's a zip.

2. You can't flash a zip with fastboot.

3. If it WERE an image for the whole rom, it wouldn't only be a boot image.

4. You need to flash it through clockworkmod recovery.

After putting the 5.6.0 rooted zip file on your watch through USB, restart your watch (to restart adb), then use the command "adb reboot recovery" and flash it through clockworkmod.

Anyone interested in buying my 8gb MotoActv (working) with a broken screen?

Yesterday I was putting my MotoActv on (with a watch strap) and it slipped out of my hands and fell to the floor (only a few feet). It landed apparently on the corner and that also apparently has 0 impact resistance. So quick tip, look into some kind of bumper/impact resistant option (even though Moto has offered none) for yours. Since it does work (powers on and responds to touch) I'm thinking it would be a good option for one of the developers to use with testing. It's already rooted. Anyway, it's obviously an as-is kind of thing since I dropped it, but it does work and I'd pack it with all kinds of foam to ship to ensure the least amount of movement during shipment.

Is anyone interested in buying it? It would come with the wrist strap as well. I'm looking to get $100 as all I want right now is a Fitbit, which I used to have until I lost it on a run a few weeks ago. Matt on the Moto forums said a new screen is $69, so for $169 you could have a "good as new" one if that's what you wanted too. I figure it's not worth me replacing the screen since I know I'll drop it again =|

OK, I think that I have read a lot and tried a lot too, I have copied over my contacts2.db and it accompanying dbs to /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases as well checking/making permissions (at first 666 then 660) user.group set to app_0.app_0 as I have read elsewhere. Still with GO Contacts I cannot see/edit/add to the db, I would love to have my contacts on my watch, but without sync or frameworks I cannot get them from Google so I wished to import a vcf, but helas it cannot write/edit the db. Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about? Does anyone have maybe a 3rd party app that can/will import and write to the db? Do I need to add/register some special "so" or xml that I have not yet thought of? Major thanks in advance.

It appears that the 5.6.0 updated aided the cause to getting Market working on this device. This is not to take away from what Ianas has done, but from what he says, he's done exactly what a few of us have done on 4.55.78 but received better results on 5.6.0.

[Other SmartWatches] droidhackzor:
myo,

i have been working on getting bt to work with other devices other than "sensors" and so far, it seems that the device's firmware doesn't have the coding in the bt discovery service to alow for proper pairing..."button or code" it seems the device's code is designed specificlly for non-interaction devices to be paired, the reason i was working on this originaly is because i wanted to pair it with my phone as an external bluetooth gps unit. but again i beleave the coding is missing from the bt discovery services.

EDIT: mind you im not as proficiant at this as some of the more advanced members of this forum so i could be wrong when it comes to the coding. it's just an observation.

If you are referring to the old one that slides, Idk but i know several keyboards i tried stopped working on 5.6,the one that still works for me is "flit keyboard". Try that one. As for amazon, i don't use it, i use dropbox, google docs or apk's downloader for chromium on Linux to transfer the apk's
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
The problem would be the version of android they run, as well as the resources we have available in our /system. Just "modding" apks isn't as easy as it sounds. :) Speaking from experience. It took me a good 24 HOURS of total dev time (about 6-7 days I think) just to mod the quicksettings in the systemui.apk from the desire HD to the Inspire 4G, and they have the same specs except for a 4-bar signal meter and a 5-bar one.

This sounds like an issue with the google search provider... also, I think 5.6.0 brings out its own keyboard. Do you not like the new larger one? I think it's decent lol.
