Hi, i took the plunge and rooted my actv, all went ok however the background on the standard motoactv side looks a little screwed up.

It seem to have some sort of display issue, have any of you seen this before?

I have re-flashed the ROM, changed the clock face a few times.

The android display looks fine.
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
I don't see any problem in your picture. The background is a different image for DPRom.

is it like these screenshots?:

ClearD,

I'm really wishing I could get that kind of life on mine. I primarily use mine as a watch too and I only get about 3 days with the shake to wake off. What all are you running on yours and what do you have turned off so I can try to match it?

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] fernandoavc:
+1... Mine lasts almost the same of yours and I have the DPRom... CleaD probably uses his own ROM.... right?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
I leave wifi and Bluetooth off unless I need them and keep the screen brightness at about half. :)

@ClearD: difference btw your ROM and Dproldan's? Does CWM reovery work on DP's ROM, ie if i want to switch from DP's to yours? It appears you are still active on yours, so any further enhancements/updates you are after? Also on the battery 'saga', what really makes a BIG difference is taking down few notches the display brightness from the default 75% to say smthg below 50%...with this and BT paired with the phone on and shake wake on, i have 'squeezed' almost 3days. I still have all Moto stock on and haven't done a workout during this period...workout with BT headset + music drains easily 30% in just 90mins for me...

New Motoactv Owner

Hello All,

I just purchased one of these devices to use while running. I am interested in rooted capabilities. I have a heavily modded Samsung GS2 and would like to sync some feature between the two. I also have some JayBird BudX headphones to use with this. My ideal setup would be this:

Tether watch to 4G phone

Use ANT+ heart rate mon

best running app (stock or runkeeper)?

best gps/maps (stock or google maps)?

Spotifiy

best media player for mp3s (stock/other)?

notifications mail/text/calls

Good clock to use.

I really do not care about games and such, I just want a clean looking interface with easy access.

Thx

Josh

It took me 2 days (on and off) to read through all 52 pages. I am rooted and currently running this rom. It seems to be the best solution as of yet, however there is room from improvement.

Setup:

Launcher Pro (doesn't load after reboot...yes i moved it from the SD card to the device.)

Beautiful widgets (works but widget doesn't load after reboot?... yes i moved it from the SD card to the device.) (Power Widget doesn't populate after a reboot either)

Gmail

Google Maps (so surprised how well this works!!!)

Play store w/the market search app

Clockwork (used to reboot to ROM manager - I thought this would be useful for backups, does it work or not? Fast boot backups only?

Google Music - my plan was to install and pin my music for offline use however my Bluetooth headset doesn't work with Google music. Google music does work when listening to music through a wired head set via a 3.5mm headphone jack. Any ideas, i would really like to used Bluetooth with Google Music.

Hats off to the developer....more features than any other ROM.

Any ideas with Google Music will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kesnik
[Other SmartWatches] kesnik:
Ok, I started over.......

The problems i was having with Launcher Pro and Beautiful widgets has resolved itself.

The only issue i am having is with Google Music not sending sound to my bluetooth headset, it works with the 3.5mm jack.

Is it possible to change Google Music's output fromt he headphone jack to a Bluetooth headset? Is it possible to sync (using the "pin" function in Google Music) from the cloud to the device and play it with another app?

Thanks,

Kesnik
[Other SmartWatches] thr07:
I believe this is due to the fact that several BT profiles are not activated in Motoactv's source code. I have the same issue with TuneIn Radio when tethering the device with my mobile. I think Atarii did some work on releasing more BT profiles i did install them but still issue persists.

Hey

How to switch the music button with the workout button, so the workout will be -> manu and music will remain for changing the tracks etc
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
How to assign the Start (workout button) to MENU and the Music button to MUSIC.

If you have a windows machine I found the following works:

1. Download and install the free Android Commander

2. Connect your MA with the USB cable and make sure Settings -> Application Settings -> Development -> USB Debugging is enabled.

3. Launch Android Commander and navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/ on your MA.

4. Copy G2-keypad.kl onto your computer and open it using a notepad program. I use Notepad++ as it displays the contents in columns, rather than all over the place like Windows' Notepad.

5. Make a backup of the original G2-keypad.kl file (rename it to G2-keypad.kl.bak or keep a copy on your computer).

6. Edit the contents so that MENU is assigned to key 220 and MEDIA is assigned to key 387.

key 220 MENU WAKE_DROPPED

key 387 MEDIA WAKE_DROPPED

7. Copy the altered G2-keypad.kl file back to your MA and reboot.

You can also do this issuing ADB commands but using Android Commander is much more user-friendly.

#Check your MA is recognised (you'll see a device in the list)

>adb devices

#Mount the filesystem

>adb remount

#Copy G2-keypad.kl from your MA onto your desktop

>adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/G2-keypad.kl %USERPROFILE%/Desktop

#Do you edits to G2-keypad.kl as above

#Copy G2-keypad.kl back to your MA

>adb push %USERPROFILE%/Desktop/G2-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout

#Reboot

>adb reboot

Swap %USERPROFILE%/Desktop for a folder on your computer if you're using a Mac

DPRomBeta9 with original Wifi timeout

dproldan,

Would it be possible to get a build of your DPRomBeta9 with the original Wifi timeout (instead of 24 hours)? It would seem that change is most likely the cause of the "Wifi stuck on" issue.

Incidentally, I am able to force Wifi off using the Airplane Mode widget from Beautiful Widgets (which also turns off Bluetooth) even though the Wifi widget does not work. Other airplane mode switches may do the same thing, in case people are looking for an alternative to rebooting.
[Other SmartWatches] heat22:
Dprombeta 8.1 works way better than dprombeta 9! As noted above, the 24hr wifi setting must be the issue and since u can't turn off wifi it makes it useless do to battery drain. I experienced bluetooth connectivity issues as well and I refuse to constantly turn off my motoactv and reload my ICS keyboard everytime. The constant wifi kills the battery in like 4-5 hours. GO WITH DPROMBETA 8.1! The wifi icon ain't worth the headache. Thanks for the 8.1 rom! Running smooth now

Juice Defender Ultimate doesn't seem to do anything. It works amazingly on my Galaxy Note so I don't know why its not able to stop the wifi from running on my motoactv. Bluetooth dun worked before I tried the boot.img from Atarii but I can't pair my Motorola H500 bluetooth headset so I gave it a shot. Still won't connect though. Tried my boy's bluetooth headset (Looxci), same, won't connect but at least it shows in the list after it fails to pair unlike my H500. Any ideas? Tried that bluetooth zero app already.

I don't know if that helps but I used to pick phone calls from my phone using my s10-hd from Motorola pairing him directly to my phone then pairing it also with my motoactv then when somebody calls me I can answer through the phone (seems that only the with a wired earphone you are able to pick it from the motoactv directly)

That's the thing. My H500 will not connect/pair with my Motoactv at all. The H500 pairs with my phone fine. My Motoactv also pairs with my phone fine, just not with my H500 or the other bluetooth headset I've tried. It just hangs at "connecting..." Also the motoactv does NOT see my H500 again after it fails to connect the first time I try. I have to reflash and start from scratch just for it to even see/find it again but then it just hangs on connecting...

Hey guys, been using this rom for months now and I wanted to share how I got my wifi to turn on automatically when I unlock my watch to save battery.

what u need:

Dprom8.1 installed (10 min wifi timeout)

WidgetLocker app

Wifi by Timer app

Use google to find the apks. Turn off shake to wake, install the apps, configure widget locker how you like, then check the "Enable wifi when phone is being unlocked" setting in the Wifi by Timer app. You can even schedule a wifi turn on interval using this app if you like.
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
Cleard will this work on your build?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
I don't know, and wrong thread to ask lol. :p Possibly, but wifi wouldn't be able to stay on as long as Dprom, obviously. :)
[Other SmartWatches] scottay:
Out of curiousity, is it necessary to use "WidgetLocker"? Does this ensure that the MotoACTV goes into "lock" mode?

I have been trying something similar, but the inverse, of using "Smart Connection Manager" app to automatically turn off Wifi on DPRom9, but I'm not exactly sure if it's working all the time. I'll have to compare the features in "Wifi by Timer" app to "Smart Connection Manager".

Unfortunately i can't make the BT tethering with the phone to work... (installed BT PAN etc. process as per Wiki, got a connection but no app seems to be able to access the phone connection even browser, maps etc.) any suggestions?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Dproldan explained that in another post today actually:

"Bluetooth in Android 2.3.4 was not developed enough for tethering. When you create a pan connection, the system is not being notified that a network is up and ready. Any program that checks with the system gives an error, while others that just try and connect directly will work fine."

Sent using XDA-funded carrier pigeons
[Other SmartWatches] Saeviomage:
Fundamentally it comes down to a single android system call that returns the current network status. It only checks for Wifi and 3g connectivity. You can see how that works by having wifi on and connect to a wifi network that has no internet access. Then connect to your phone PAN. Apps will check the connectivity function and find the connection is up, and work over the bluetooth connection.

Unfortunately having the wifi on and connected is what we are trying to avoid, so it's not a real solution.

One solution would be to modify the system functions to always return that networking is up. Apps still have to check the results of networking functions, so it should cause minimal issues doing so. The main problem with doing this is that apps which distinguish between wifi and 3g to avoid hogging data will assume they're always on wifi (or 3g, depending on exactly what we return), but that seems like a small price to pay.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44034334#post44034334 <-- supposedly this is xposed working on gingerbread. This would let us quickly fix both the bluetooth tethering issue (ie - by making the connection manager return true all the time) and the play store crash (by handling the null return value from the quick search provider function appropriately).

I've installed the 2.2 Xposed on my dprom9 motoactv, and it seems to be working - it's showing process totals and the like, and everything is humming along just fine.

Unfortunately the pre-compiled apks fail to install because they are for later android versions (I assume this is also why the repository doesn't show any entries). I'll grab the source for per-app settings (per app dpi! woo!) and see if I can get it working under gb, and maybe add the 'always connected' patch to it as well.
[Other SmartWatches] fernandoavc:

XposedAppSettings for per app DPI

Following up on [MENTION=5160112]Saeviomage[/MENTION]'s lead, Per app DPI is working! [MENTION=3818339]liudongmiao[/MENTION] recently added the XposedAppSettings module:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44034334&postcount=2315

I installed XposedInstaller-2.2-20131006.apk and XposedAppSettings-1.5-20131006.apk on DPRomBeta9, but it should work on ClearD's ROM as well. I didn't notice it working until I moved these Applications "To Phone", but it's possible this is not necessary (for one or both) as I wasn't consistent on rebooting. Others should report their experience to determine the case. So far I have only changed the DPI for Zeam, GMail, and XAppSettings itself to 90 (while keeping default at 120), and forced XAppSettings to portrait as an experiment, but all seems to function properly.

[Other SmartWatches] Saeviomage:
Also on the topic of wifi not turning off - the 100% reliable way to turn it off is to turn airplane mode on. After you do that, you can then turn bluetooth back on.

I have a llama profile that does exactly that when I unplug from a charger.

Do you use wifi or gps for location? How is battery life using llama. I've used tasker on my phones forever, but tasker doesnt work on MA, so I am trying out llama.

I don't use either on my motoactv. I don't have anything location-dependant that I really want my watch to do, so I'm afraid I can't really answer your question. I just have profiles to switch wifi on and off when I connect and disconnect to a charger, and another to switch my keyboard on boot using a locale plugin for secure actions.
