remap buttons

Hi all.

I purchased a motoactv yesterday. i rooted it no problem, but i keep getting a failure when trying to remap the buttons.

See:

http://screencast.com/t/lVUNdfHtOtK

i didnt see the manual method for remapping them. it looks to be a permission problem.

Also. now that its rooted, how can i connect it to my PC and manage music/wifi networks and such through the moto app? it seems to default to the ADB connection now.

i must say i like the device, ill really like it when i can map the buttons and switch between stock and zeam. i hope i can add pandora, wifi manager, gmaps, gvoice and weather.

also, i thought (wrongly i guess) that email alerts came over too, not just calls and text. im syncing to a razr...hopefully they will add that at some point.

Appears to be a issue with mounting the file system as read / write. Have you rebooted and tried?

Basically all the script is doing is sending the files.

If you use command line adb. and issue command adb devices and then adb remount what does it tell you?

I flashed the Clear Droid ROM using recovery and now when I start the device it hangs at the Motorola icon. Have to hard shut down to get it to turn off.

What are the steps to getting back to square one?! :)
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
What steps did you take to flash? You might try a re download, as you're the first I'm hearing of anything bad so far lol. Do you have the latest version of the recovery found in root tool version 1.1.3? There was an update, the first recovery didn't work completely.

To get back, just use return to stock in the root tool. You can re root or anything you need from there, easy as pie. :)
[Other SmartWatches] galatians51:
If I return to stock, will I still get the unknown serial number error? I want to return to stock and test the new update when it comes.

So I can't figure this one out maybe I just did not see it. I want to run Gmail and have contacts and calendar on the watch. Can someone help?

Thank you again
[Other SmartWatches] soskey22:
Have you try to install the gmail apk from your bionic on your motoactv, ? I havent try that app on my motoactive, but i think it may work, i have the app called " google services" and it works fine in my motoactive, for contacts, if you live in the usa you can intall google voice, and for calendar there are some calendars app in the amazon market or slideme market.

To get the most out of it, keep it at 120. Some apps stop working at any lower.

Has anyone had any luck getting the MotoActv drivers on Windows 8? Seriously, this is pissing me off. I tried changing the compatibility settings: no go. I even changed the msi using Orca and still, I get the incompatible message. I just rooted it on my Windows 7 laptop... but if anyone has any idea what I could do, please help... I'm about to throw my computer against a wall.

Fail to boot
[Other SmartWatches] MinionOfEckerd:
My Motoactv is currently failing to boot. It's not recognized by ADB while attempting to boot. Is there another way to be able to return it to stock to try and flashing the ROM again? Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
If you can get to fastboot, you can reload and having it up and running. Power down, Vol - and Power
[Other SmartWatches] NORCALkID:
I tried this last you rom last night and it worked well for me ...no issues at all I even used the advanced restore feature in the recovery to restore data
[Other SmartWatches] MinionOfEckerd:
Had to put it back onto the charger, let it charge while it was trying to boot over and over again then it had enough charge for fastboot. Downloaded the tools, returned to stock then got back to square one. Flashed the ROM and now I'm back to business! :D
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Excellent! I'm guessing the first one may have been a bad download... But that's just a guess lol.

I'm on my phone, will be out of town for a few days, so I can't update anything yet.

CEnnis91 is working on a new base to build from that will incorporate the updates pre-patched.

I have a questions how do I get the nook color tethering to grab a different device.
[Other SmartWatches] Moose8106:
I wanted to unroot so I could go to the latest update... but everytime I unroot, adb turns back on and the device isn't detected. I tried going through adb and stopping adbd but that doesn't work unless I am rooted (despite the device showing up in adb devices!!!). Any tips? Or can I update despite the root?

Also: Just a bump on my previous question, any luck with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview? The Motohelper and Motocast usb drivers refuse to install on it no matter what I try. Any help would be appreciated.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
You'll need to contact Motorola about the drivers... I'm not sure how to port drivers.

As has been said over and over again, you cannot update once you root. Period. You might try turning off ADB before you unroot, as the root tool uses fastboot for that, not ADB. Fastboot is in the stock boot image, ADB is not. However, nobody has been able to update yet, even after running the return to stock script. I'm still not sure why yet.
[Other SmartWatches] Moose8106:
I just about tried everything.... I used Orca to remove the compatibility check and nothing!

I knew that you couldn't update after root, but I did try turning off adb before returning to stock. That's a bummer.... no one is able to update after returning to stock? Oh well, it would have been nice to get that new update that's coming out in a few days.

P.S. If adb isn't in the stock image, how is it that it is shown in adb devices after I used return to stock (not questioning you, just curious)?

And just to be clear: the MotoActv was rooted when I bought it. I didn't root it without reading the note on the wiki Hahaha
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
...and now I have a Motoactv with beats audio.:D

well, to be honest I'm waiting to confirm once my wife gets back from her run so I can compare the sound of the stock player vs the modified player. Sounds bass driven to me but that isnt very scientific, is it.

Nandroid and give it a shot. it is a system wide mod. Used the 3/02/12 file. DL'd and installed via recovery. reports that it altered stock and non-stock players alike. There is no visual que that it is active so you have to play it by ear. I was gonna play a track a few times, load and replay track...but my wife has a Motoactv that is stock so I am gonna wait til she gets home so I can play tracks back to back without having to roll back, load, roll back etc.

OK: side by side there is a slight difference (even my wife could hear it and she was blind testing). The track has a slightly deeper sound, the headphones had a better bass presence. Night and day? No. but not a bad mod at all...assuming you dont bootloop (BACKUP, Clear cache!)
[Other SmartWatches] tineprogramming:
What files are you using . i got boot loop :mad:
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
As long as you backed up, you can fastboot, re-load image and root, reboot into recovery and restore your backup within a few minutes.

ADB not working

Hello there guys I can't get my MotoACTV 8GB to be recognized at ADB in any way... already unistalled the moto provided files and installed a modified one that I got from Tine's tutorial still no dice.

When I run the command "ADB devices" got nothing found... I've tried it on fastboot mode and in the regular mode with the watch turned on.

I've got the upgrade from Motorola to the firmware version: 4.55.97

What am I doing wrong? can someone point me a working version of the adb drivers?

Just to take the oportunity of your attention: I was a Motorola phone owner and I know that any small modification to the original software/firmware you'r automatically out of any OTA upgrade... Have any of you that still on 4.55.78 version got any OTA upgrade so far?

Now I have a Galaxy Nexus phone and with the hacked APK from MotoCast I still can't get calls to work with the watch... anyone have any clue about it too? Navigating to the lost threads in the forum that talk about this hacked APK I saw a lot of different reports, some saying everything is working... some others saying that nothing works... and I can tell by my experience that the Weather and the SMS notifications (with no update to the phone even when you read/delete the sms) are working good.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Ok, just got to the hotel. I wrote the root tool and I'm not sure of about half of what you're talking about. Did you root? Before rooting, did you flash the modified boot image that enables ADB?

Did you go here first: http://motoactv.wikispaces.com/ ?
[Other SmartWatches] Itslame:
So you were able to fastboot and load the altered image? are you trying to do this manually or with the help of the root/easy modder file?

OTA updates....everyone needs to stop asking about them. They dont exist once you root the unit. Period. Some of the guys are working on it but it isnt ready yet.

You can pair a Motoactv without the APK; You will only have call functionality (no texts/email). The hacked software is buggy and I stopped using it. The weather app was pointless. The Motoactv will only connect to your phone (for calls) when a headset is plugged in. So if your calling your phone and it isnt doing anything, make sure you have a headset plugged in.

I'm not familiar with Tines method (and I am too lazy to read up on it) but the wiki covers the whole process:

Hi CEnnis91,

Jay, Cleard, you and others are doing a great job! Please please get this update (march 7th) included in the ROM , please count my 3$ for the same once done!!

ATTENTION ClearD AND ROM DEVELOPERS

So the 4.55.97 update contains an updated boot.img file, in a patch format, if you didn't already notice. I was able to patch and unpack the boot.img to see what has changed (not much):

Both init.mapphone_cdma.rc and init.mapphone_umts.rc now contain:

# GPS UART1 timeout interface
chown radio system /sys/devices/platform/omap-uart.1/uart0_sleep_timeout

This isn't a big deal, but i patched this boot.img as well to be rooted, meaning that we have 2 different boot.imgs laying around. One for 4.55.78 (should it ever be used) and one for 4.55.97. It is at this time, I suggest we stop with the fastboot flashing of the boot.imgs (except for the initial rooting itself), and fully shift to update.zip format, as it is more well known and easier for users.

I will be releasing 4 update.zips in a short amount of time:

1) stock-4.55.78

2) rooted-4.55.78

3) stock-4.55.97

4) rooted-4.55.97

Each update.zip will contain it's own proper boot.img, and each rooted zip will just contain su (and it's app), and busybox. This should create a good base for up-and-coming ROM developers looking to play around and learn. I plan on doing the same for the March 7th update as well ( hopefully it will appear on their servers early ;) )

RANDOM SIDE NOTE: this device does not seem to like asserts in its updater-scripts, I believe it's a combination of the device and the recovery image. It's not a big deal, but just try to keep your asserts to detect devices to a minimum. (Using them to flash a boot.img is fine)

ClearD, please add any and all useful information to the wiki, and update your tool accordingly when i release the boot.imgs. =)
[Other SmartWatches] NORCALkID:
On my epic 4g touch we are having an issue with asserts also ...if we wipe or format /system ...assert fails so we just don't wipe /system...

Kinda felt like I just posted a bunch of crap but I hope its relevant
[Other SmartWatches] fernandoavc:
Sorry I went to sleep then BANG this thread just grown like 5 replies ! I got no time to test it all.. I was just guessing I should connect adb first but I though I am wrong... I need a fastboot flash BOOT.IMG first right?

Thank you all for the prompt responses I will try that and let you know ... I am acessing the wiki you created now and will go from there.

About the call notification I'd tried with my Moto bluetooth headset and nothing happened... I will try with the one who came with my MotoACTV just to see if there's any different behavior.

[Other SmartWatches] fernandoavc:
Just for information purposes I'd tried the motocast apk on my Galaxy nexus and the SMS came ok but the calling didn't showed up only if I am using the wired earphone that came with it. As I own an Atrix also I've tried the same test and it works even with the Bluetooth earphone that I bought. Maybe some of the changes made to the apk to work messed also with the Bluetooth part...
[Other SmartWatches] RayToombs:
OK I did not realize what I missed and I am reading over the information and searched the thread but did not se anyone else ask the question.

Can I use the motoactv easy modder and just go to the custom ADB commands to follow these commands below.

1) Download this file: CWMR5x_F100_recoveryA.img

2) adb push CWMR5x_F100_recoveryA.img /data/local/

3) adb shell (become root)

4) dd if=/data/local/CWMR5x_F100_recoveryA.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p13

5) exit adb from the device

6) adb reboot recovery (you should be in CWMR now)

also does each of the steps get typed into the command line with the exception of the stuff in parenthesis?

Never mind I am all set I just get nervous doing this stuff.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Recovery A is obsolete. We are using a newer version that is flashed automatically in the "root" function of the root tool. Why are you flashing it manually, may I ask?
[Other SmartWatches] RayToombs:
I did a little more reading and now I see that. Thank you very much.

Has anyone had luck getting the gapps on?

I rooted and flashed in recovery (the stock 4.55.97 and the the rooted version 4.55.97) and I stay on 4.55.78 no matter what! The flashes go through successfully...

Yes. Please setup an official Forum for this device. I just DL the rooted 4.55.97. Been checking through this xda thread, the motoactv wikispaces page, and even some github accounts for updates occasionally. Organizing this information would be great. What is the status on adding gApps into the root tools?

BTW. Great job guys. I was very worried about getting this device but found you devs supporting it and decided to jump on board. I just ordered a series of sensors for it also and am really excited about this.

I'm still hoping we can get one of the updates to the people that used the original root method. I'm still stuck on old firmware. :-(
[Other SmartWatches] RayToombs:
Can you not do the return to stock then upgrade and reboot?
[Other SmartWatches] elkay:
I asked a few days ago and was told there was no way back to complete stock once you flashed the bootloader to do the original root method.
[Other SmartWatches] RayToombs:
Just so I am clear will we be able to return to stock if we used the root tool?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
The "return to stock" feature is something I built INTO the root tool, so yes. Absolutely. ;)

I just noticed the pictures of the tool that I uploaded are MIA, so I'll upload a new one tonight too, and also try to put it into the wiki.

For those of you worrying about the new updates, don't fret. CEnnis91 has them patched, and I'll put out a Rom ASAP built from his new base. We still won't be able to physically update, but it will suffice. :)
[Other SmartWatches] elkay:
Awesome! I figured as much with needing to manually update, that's no issue at all. I'm not new to rooting and modding. I was just surprised that with an unlocked bootloader that we had no way back to stock to get up to current unrooted, then reroot. If you don't mind, could you toss a reply on this thread when that update package is available? Thanks a bunch! :-D

Sorry if I'm repeating question here but let me ask you something:

I didn't rooted my device yet (don't even unlocked it by replace the boot.img) cause I know Motorola always check before the updates for any system mod then turn updates unable to be applied.

When you mention "return to stock" should we read as "able to update from OTA or regular Motorola means"?
[Other SmartWatches] NORCALkID:
Return to stock will not allow you to receive otas or updates
