As mentioned at the first page, this rom is already rooted, so you don't have to root it first, just do the "fastboot" command using command prompt (read instruction carefully) and for me i installed the motorola driver before do the fastboot, no problem flashing this rom for me, make sure you follow all the instruction at the first page. fyi, i'v just bought my motoactv 3 days ago and flash with this rom last night..:)

Regards,

Mazlana
[Other SmartWatches] Jinx Lumos Joke:
Thanks for the help, I've tried it already, to flash the three images (boot, preinstall, system) with ClearD's "IMG Flasher" and it was all done, but than it stucked at the animated M logo... (or just loaded 15 minutes, until the battery gone out....)

So, should I try to flash again, with the flasher tool? :confused:

Edit: i flashed again, and I stucked again... (I've waited a couple of minutes, thats for sure. At least I think 30 minutes is more tha a couple... :) )
[Other SmartWatches] peixeazul:
I've attempted using the Image Flasher twice with no luck and stuck at the Motorola boot logo. Used the other method (i.e. issue fastboot -w command, etc) and it came right up...
[Other SmartWatches] Jinx Lumos Joke:
ThanKs. Same for me. Now its working. :)

A bit frustrating, that we can't search, but I'll get used to it...

Anyway, any tips for a good keyboard replacement? Because I won't ever get used to this flip one...

Thanks For this amazing ROM! ;)

Edit: can we use the Play Store at all? Beacuse I started downloading Angry Birds and Facebook, but neither can downloaded in 5 minutes...
[Other SmartWatches] Atarii:
Just thought I'd mention here, I've found out why Angry Birds won't work anymore (black screen). The latest version silently errors on startup because it fails to create an Amazon payment provider handler.

Easy fix, just install an older version (I found 2.0.0 works) :good:

Have you installed MarketSearch.apk? That lets you search on the Play Store on the device.

Play Store downloads fine here, do they not download because your wifi is turning off?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
These issues are because you need to wipe the device before flashing. The image flasher only flashes the images, it doesn't issue the wipe command (yet). This is the update to the tool that I'm making (hopefully tonight) for dproldan. :) I'll be adding a second button to issue the wipe command.

Update: Download MotoACTV Image Flasher V2

fastboot hang issue

soo - heres a weird one - i did finally get the rom loaded this morning; success at last!! - but was missing market. So - tried to install ClearDroid over the top; it went into a boot cycle.. Great... sooo... charged fully, used motoACTV Root 1.1.6 and re-loaded stock+root

then went to CWM and loaded ClearDroid. Ran Easymodder 1.2 and copied 3 .img files to folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are.

Set motoactv back to fastboot.

then went to Custom ADB command from Easymodder 1.2 and did fastboot -w - this worked, but when i did the next command - fastloader flash boot boot.img it just hung waiting for device.

Gave the Motoimageflasher v2 a shot.... seemed to work! - but... oh dear. This sent the device back to logo loop again (like Friday).

I was sooo close!! - any ideas why the fastboot command worked for -w but then hung waiting for device on boot.img?

thank you

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

just tried it again using the method on your first post link - downloaded and copied "C:\Android" to folder - and now i can issue commands from CMD line in Windows. Did all the commands - and back to the looping red logo once more.... :(:(
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Wipe, then flash.
[Other SmartWatches] Boogerwooger:
DProm is working like a charm. Currently I'm syncing all my podcasts via dropsync and am a happy camper! :)

I was wondering If there is any way you guys could take a look at this issue...

I'm trying to use Headset Button Controller (didn't mess with any of the new Rom's settings yet), but it doesn't work, nor does it show up in DEBUG mode. The only thing that happens is that music turns on (from the Motorola app which isnt listed) The music doesn't pause when I press the button either (or anything else I would program in Headset Button Controler)

Obviously, the headset works with the watch as it did turn the music on, but the native music player seems to have a cold dead grip on it, and I have no idea of how to change this in any of the .kl files.

Please help if you can.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Just realized I messed up something. Gonna remove the reboot from the wipe button, then add another new button for "reboot". Oops.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Download MotoACTV Image Flasher V3

Let's try this one...

This should work best. I removed the automatic reboot from the flash and wipe functions, then made a separate reboot button. :good:

EDIT: Why are people still downloading versions 1 and 2? Yes, I can see you... USE THIS ONE! JEEZE.
[Other SmartWatches] gtrab:
Hi guys, I know this is off-topic but I am desperate for help.

My power button stopped working after playing football under heavy rain and getting a hard hit. I dunno why but now (fortunately enough) the "start" button is acting as the "power" button: I can turn my MotoACTV on and off by pressing it, it lets me access fastboot too (menu+vol instead of power+vol) :confused:

I've performed a factory reset, I've reverted to stock, etc and the power button is still dead while the "start" button keeps acting as "power", so I'm pretty sure it must be a hardware issue.

Problem is I can't start any sports activities since there's no actual "start". Since I never use the music button, I was thinking of remapping it to act as "start". Can somebody please help me or tell me how to do it?

Thanks in advance

Motoactv easy modder can help you remap buttons once you're rooted
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
my motoactv no longer has been syncing with motoactv.com and when i try to go to the accounts and sync to force sync it it just reboots (which i know is a problem with calendar sync) just wondering if theres any way i can get this to sync? even after just enabling wifi and connecting still wont pull my data to motoactv.com's site.
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
I knew about the start button previously, but that only opens the exersize panel, I couldn't get out of it to see my watch face etc. Thank you for the double power tip, that worked perfectly.
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
Settings, application settings, development, unselect first option "debugging".
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
Any reason why superuser fails to update? Something to do with the way it's rooted maybe? I can try to remove superuser with titanium backup and install a fresh copy from the market if you think that will work. Each time it says "Application cannot be installed in the default install location"
[Other SmartWatches] Ke1evraTi:
This was explained earlier, either in this thread or the other. SU can't update because it needs to stay in the local storage to work and Google Play installs apps by default to the SD. It doesn't matter though because the updates are not very significant. If you really want the latest version you will have to push it over adb.

Notification

Flashed this today and I'm not sure if anyone else has run into the issue but my notification light won't stop blinking, even after going into settings>notifications and set it to not blink when receiving a notification. Any thoughts?
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
So far, i've seen it blinking for:

Motoactv notifications from phone.

Low battery.

Plugged to USB

Gmail received.

Check those
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
That's fine, just annoying to see an update each time I look at the my apps section of the market :(
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
Found a way to do exactly this! coming soon with a 1.7.10 update...
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
Any reason why apps keep returning? I've removed explorer (i have root explorer installed) and zeam etc and they keep coming back. I've removed them with titanium backup etc and they keep restoring themselves or something. At first I thought it was just after reboots but after hitting the music button I see they have returned again.
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
I made a mistake somewhere, sorry about that.

You can remove them from /preinstall/app/
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
Thank you sir :) Keep up the good work. Still my favorite rom for motoactv.
[Other SmartWatches] jiexi:
anyone wanna post pictures of their motoactv with dprom on it? Or at least point out the main features that makes this more usuable than ClearD's rom?

I like the idea of pure stock launcher though, a lot.
[Other SmartWatches] sargist:
Awesome, I'll try it in the morning!

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
It doesn't look any different but it does have more built into it. Gtalk, calendar, email etc all come loaded. Also the options missing in ClearD's are available in this rom. It runs more like a phone. Plus I really enjoy the button settup. A lot of useful software comes preloaded and gets you started. I love ClearD's work but I must say while ClearD was out, DPRom picked up the slack. My wish would be that he and some of the others would get together and make a rom. Obviously a lot of talent here.
[Other SmartWatches] lirona:
Hi all,

If I have "ClearDroid_MotoACTV_1.1.3_A" ROM and I want to flash this ROM what I need to do?

Thanks,

Arie.
[Other SmartWatches] sargist:
Hey, I've been using it and I must say I'm very impressed

Very practical the metod to conect it in mass storage mode

I liked a lot the galaxy and nexus backscreens

I want to ask how can I change the buttons, cause I really like the MUSIC button as it is originally to pause, go to next an previous song, su I would like to change the MENU to the START button

THANKS

OHH by the way I strongly recommend you to use SLIDE IT keyboard (with the language pack of your choice, works great!!!
[Other SmartWatches] Jrbourque:
Follow the exact method and commands in the op
[Other SmartWatches] Ke1evraTi:
It seems that there is a script that runs at least on reboot that causes apps to be reinstalled.

I found that uninstalling Gmail has stopped all the fcs, both on google frameworks and gapps.
[Other SmartWatches] jiexi:
Any word on that system UI patch? As in getting rid of the "No Service" thing in the notifications pull down. Also, does DProm do battery percentage in increments of 1% or is it the 10% thing also. Battery life, good?
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
Yes, the script is there to install a few apps. I made a mistake with the naming of those packages and the script didn't realize when the user uninstalled them. It's fixed for the next version.

Another way to avoid FCs is turning off the Calendar Sync from Settings, Account and Sync Settings, your account...
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
It's working fine for me.

The accounts and sync settings have nothing to do with the MotoACTV workout sync.

You need to set it up in Settings, personal profile, MotoCast ID.

To force sync it, go to Settings, Wireless, WorkOut sync, and press Sync now.
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
Thank you very much :)
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
I have discovered through trial and error that 2.1.0 is the latest version that will work
[Other SmartWatches] 2d2d2d:
Thanks, worked perfectly! But, now it not mounted as USB-storage. When I insert the cable to PC(debian), motoactv only charged. before flashing it was mounted as USB-disk and CD-disk. How to solve this problem?
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
Settings, application settings, development settings, uncheck first option "debug"
[Other SmartWatches] funnycreature:
I should call this the "EDIT thread"

I really like what this ROM enables my little friend to do... but I was wondering why so many apps (DPI changer, screenshot tool, etc.) are unable to gain root access while other programs like Titanium Backup have no issues. I am running SuperUser Elite since trying to install SuperSU didn't work because I can't access the buttons to confirm root rights for apps (the default to always grant SU rights doesn't seem to work there either).

Any suggestions? When it comes to rooting details I am not very experienced.

EDIT:

Does anyone have experience adding a bluetooth keyboard? This could help with a lot of my issues since I can use it to navigate through the menus/buttons blindly

EDIT 2:

I installed Bluez IME and the HID add-on. Now I'm able to connect to the BT keyboard but I cannot see a way to change the Flit keyboard to the BT keyboard. Any pointers where to do that?

EDIT 3:

OK, I got it working! I reinstalled Flit keyboard and went into the settings. Enable Bluez IME and I can use it now! Hope that helps others. Let me know if you need more details.

EDIT 4:

I installed SuperSU Pro and everything works now. I have no idea what I was smoking before or which settings I changed to make it work. Either way, I'm a happy camper off to bigger and better things!
[Other SmartWatches] Boogerwooger:
Anyone having problems with having to choose the home screen all over again. each time you restart the Motoactv?
[Other SmartWatches] funnycreature:
I chose to have the option between the two launchers at startup. Makes it easy to use the MotoACTV as intended ;) Do you have trouble selecting the ZEAM launcher as default?
[Other SmartWatches] Atarii:
I am having a similar problem; it seems to lose user settings on restart. For me, the keyboard settings is lost on reboot, so I have to re-select flit each time
[Other SmartWatches] mclife:
I was having various issues where settings wouldn't persist across reboot, but after doing a factory reset and setting things up again (this time I didn't enable calendar sync and didn't setup motocast ID) everything is working way smoother.
[Other SmartWatches] gtrab:
Thanks ClearD but Motoactv easy modder has only preset remappings, no custom remappings, and it doesn't have the preset option to remap music to start. I need to do it manually.
[Other SmartWatches] BalorNG:
Greetings!

I've followed instruction to a point, and it works reasonably well - unfortunately, I cannot install endomondo so far, search does not work (and finding it in play store w/o it is impossible), and adb install gives "MIssing shared library" error. So is downoading it to internal sd and running it in root explorer. Simply pushing it - gives out a error 'read only memory'.

What am I doing wrong? Since some people reported installing it successfully, it must be something on my side.

Also, can it be paired it with ANT+ speed/cadence sensors? Or any other 'third-party' program for that matter? I read that ANT+ implementation of Mototactv is proprietary.

Motorolla portal does not even work with Opera, and I refuse to use any other browser just for that purpose alone. And besides, I like endomondo.
[Other SmartWatches] tubbycyclist:
Works OK for me.

There is a blog at sootie8.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/motoactv-rooted-how-to-install-endomondo.html that describes how to get endomondo working. IT describes how you l need to copy a couple of files from the gapps package to /system (after remounting as read/write), but then it solves the dependency problem on gmaps and it should run.

I have used to track runs, and it works fine but I have not paired with any sensors as yet - but have got a cadence sensor I could try it on if I remember

Ignore the warning messages about installing TTS when you first run it - speech works fine.Unfortunately the screen rotates and this is a little painful but the app is usable.
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
You have moved keyboard to phone right? Excuse me if you have already :)
[Other SmartWatches] Atarii:
I was being dumb :( I had moved it to phone, but then i updated the app, which moved it back! I had forgot to move it to the phone again. Thanks for the pointer! :good:
[Other SmartWatches] Mr. Argent:
Grabbin' the new update! hopefully this'll make C:Geo play nice with the accelerometer. the onscreen compass/Geocache direction indicator isn't all that useful if it points north wherever i'm facing...

Top notch ROM otherwise, though! it's nice having both the perks of Moto's UI and stock-ish android stuff!

EDIT: I can't seem to turn off the wi-fi to conserve battery. that's propably not normal, is it?
[Other SmartWatches] mclife:
I'm trying to get bluetooth tether working. Anyone have success? Here's what I'm doing.

Paired watch with phone (GNote running CM10.1) via motoactv app. Turned on bluetooth tethering on the phone (Tethering & portable hotspot settings)

Installed busybox, installed nook color tether, created widget, and activated it.

The widget turns green indicating everything succeeded. Even on the phone it shows the message "Sharing this phones internet connection to 1 device."

After all that, still no internet access on the watch. Any ideas?
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
I also have some problems using this.

I do the steps you do and i can use Boat Browser to surf the Internet, but that's it, i can't use Talk, Email or anything else that requires Internet connectivity. I can only use a web browser.

Someone a couple of pages ago mentioned that they had got some hidden Bluetooth modes working; i wonder if this may help us?

Edit: I do not pair using the Motoactv app, i just pair the motoactv with my phone in the normal way.
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
SleepAnalysis package

Hi, something neat to play with...

Motorola developed another "activity" called SleepAnalysis for the MotoACTV but it never was enabled.

Yesterday, in the IRC with Atarii, I thought of giving it an icon an see if I could enable it. Bingo! It seems to work quite well!

The idea of this app is to help you track how many hours of sleep you get everyday and, using your input and the accelerometer data, the quality of your sleep.

It gives you some advices about your sleep and plots the data in a couple of ways.

Attached is a package for DPRom9. to install it, connect your motoACTV to your computer and, from a command line:

adb remount
adb push SleepAnalysis.apk /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/SleepAnalysis.apk

No reboot is needed, you should have a new icon in the App list called SleepAnalysis. Be sure to read the first instaructions, as they won't appear anymore.

I will include this in the next DPRom.

Thoughts about why it wasn't enabled by Motorola?

Enjoy!
[Other SmartWatches] jamesking420:
Is it possible to run the strava app on this ROM?

Also, can it share my phones internet connection over bluetooth?

My MotoActv is on it's way, and if I could run those apps on the device it would be great!
[Other SmartWatches] Boogerwooger:
The problem is unless I press the permanent select check which makes it super hard to correctly press the launcher I need I have to keep choosing between launchers when pressing the home button (to go back to the first page)

EDIT: Also, I'm using Launcherpro.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
That's a feature, not a bug :) I don't think anyone would want either launcher permanently.
[Other SmartWatches] jamesking420:
Is it still necessary to follow the following instruction...

.

Given the following comment for beta 9?
[Other SmartWatches] mclife:
How are you pairing without using the Motoactv app? I can't seem to pair unless the motoactv app is running. How do you put the watch in discovery mode?
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
Can we just install this apk like through dropbox on the motoactv? thats how i've been installing all other apps.
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
i use Zeam Launcher permanently. Its mapped to the Music button. What I've got is an icon for the Motoactv launcher on my homescreen So i can use it whenever i want.

I can't remember wherei got the apk from now. I'll search later.

I was having trouble accessing the sdcard of my Motoactv.

I used the command adb shell stop adbd on my computer and, hey presto, it worked! I could see the sdcard of my Motoactv on my computer.

I then had trouble giving adb commands to my Motoactv from my computer, but i used the adb kill-server and adb start-server commands and the adb reboot recovery command worked again.

I've come to it tonight though and that procedure is not working anymore.

Ive even tried it on a Terminal Emulator on my Motoactv and im getting adb: not found

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

Hmmmm, I did it before on DPRomBeta8.1 im sure.

Ive had a look now (beta9) and there isnt the option for it.
[Other SmartWatches] mclife:
Ok, now I too can access the internet through boat browser, but not anything else (using bluetooth tethering). Will keep digging.
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
Atarii, I wonder if what you discovered would get more than just the browser working when Bluetooth tethering.
[Other SmartWatches] Atarii:
I will upload a test boot.img with those bluetooth profiles enabled to try it
[Other SmartWatches] tubbycyclist:
Endomondo and ANT+

Tried Endomondo on the MotoActv today - and Garmin Cadence ANT Sensor did not work. I am going to have a look at the app as there are hints that it can be hacked around with, and I will try and look at the screen rotation at the same time. Will report back if can get it working, as there seems to be a consensus that MotoActv development has been stopped at Motorola.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
If adb is not found, the drivers are not available. Make sure your file path is correct and that the adb files are in the location you're using a command prompt from (in windows) or that your path is set properly.
[Other SmartWatches] Atarii:
Ok I created a test boot.img with those Bluetooth profiles enabled. You can download it from here: http://bit.ly/Sn4P5X

Flash the usual way via fastboot:

fastboot flash boot boot_BTTest.img
fastboot reboot

Disclaimer: this is a test build; is no way guaranteed to work, fix bluetooth issues or not break your device

That said, I have flashed it and it boots fine. :)

Through this method, there are a number of other profiles:

DID SP DUN LAN FAX OPUSH FTP PRINT HS HSAG HF HFAG SAP PBAP MAP
NAP GN PANU HCRP HID KEYB WIIMOTE CIP CTP A2SRC A2SNK AVRCT AVRTG
UDIUE UDITE SEMCHLA SR1 SYNCML SYNCMLSERV ACTIVESYNC HOTSYNC
PALMOS NOKID PCSUITE NFTP NSYNCML NGAGE APPLE ISYNC GATT

Obviously some of these won't work without the backend support.

Dproldan mentioned that a lot of bluetooth is filtered out by the Settings.apk, so any changes may still be blocked by that. I'll have a look in this area and see what else I can do. Hopefully there's more that can be done with the bluetooth on this device! :)

Sidenote: It didn't take long to create the test boot.img, but DropBox was down overnight so I couldn't link to it!
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
Yeah didnt work that way :( oh well, installed it the way you said and it worked great last night thanks.

What do people use to restore all their apps and stuff on their motoactv when you install updates to roms? on my phone i use titanium not sure if anyones tried that on the motoactv. Only problem i have with upgrading roms is having to reinstall everything and get everything set back up again on the device. anyway around that?

I'd like to second the issue on the headset controls no longer working. For me, play / pause and next / previous track do not work, but the tripple click fit song activation still does work. Anyone have a fix for this?
