Oruxmaps

Has anyone installed and gotten Oruxmaps working on the Motoactv? For me, the home screen on orux is a little too stretched for the moto, but that's still workable. The problem is that I can't select an online map because their map selection popup window is filled with options so there's no room to choose a map. T. ultimate GPS app is Oruxmaps and it would be awesome to get this working. Any ideas to fix this?

Also, I notice just before the screen times out, the backlight turns off and you still see the screen but with no backlight. Is it possible to turn the backlight off like this with a setting? I would love to use it with the backlight off but display still on during the day to glance and see the time quickly without draining too much battery. If not now, maybe in a Rom update? Thanks

I would love to see your ROM implement the newest firmware. I just got my MotoACTV for Christmas and couldn't wait to root it and install something! Loving your ROM so far, thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
Some new firmware for the MA would always be welcome!

The main reason I run DPRom instead of ClearDroid is that CD lagged quite a bit.

There are other reasons but I cannot recall now.
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
I used both roms but in the end stuck with DPRom only because it had more menu's and functioned more like a phone. I also liked the home key mappings that he had setup for it.

Either way both are incredibly awesome and you can't go wrong.

Anyone got any help?

Does anyone get apps like angry birds working on this rom? If so, how?
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
Ive seen the likes of Angry Birds and GTA3 running on it, but ive never managed to get it running myself.

I belive thery were shown running on Cleardroid, whereas im using DP ROM.

ClearD, are you gonna start a new thread for your possible new ROM?
[Other SmartWatches] Atarii:
+1 on this. I'm also on DPRom and always get FC for Angry Birds etc
[Other SmartWatches] housej55:
Gertting Consistent FC's on Google Apps (Google Play Store) now. I can see my programs, but when I select "All" programs, it says it cannot connect, then I get get a FC error. Is there any way to reinstall the Gapps file for this build?

Spotify offline

Hey KingConan, I'm having real issues with spotify - how did you get all of your playlists synced up? I can sync around 5 or so songs and then it goes offline again. Very frustrating!

Would you be able to let me know what version of spotify you're using, and if you did any other tweaking besides the DPRRom and spotify? I've tried the WifiOn included with CloIP but no luck - spotify just keeps going offline.

Thanks very much

[Other SmartWatches] delboydell:
Ive had no problems running angry birds on any of the roms, either side loaded from the .apk file or installed from google play(from my pc then select the motoactv from your devices) make sure wifi stays on though.

got the wifi icon working!

Have to share this... after countless hours, I finally got the f**king wifi signal icon to show in the status bar.

It really bugged me that we couldn't easily see if wifi was on/off, as it was too easy to forget and leave wifi on.
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
If you could tell us how you did it rather than just tell us that you did do it,that would be fantastic!

:)
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
Looks AWESOME dproldan, any word on when this will be packaged into a new rom? :)

It would be absolutely fantastic if you could figure out how to include the normal bluetooth profiles into the Motoactv!

I am really looking for the SPP profile!

Thanks,

[Other SmartWatches] goges:
nice ,any patch or new rom available soon?
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
I was zipping the images of a new version a few hours ago when a tragedy happened. A full glass of water over my macbook pro :( I was talking with atarii on the chat when this happened...

I've dissasembled and dryed it completely. It's booting now, but there's some water between the lcd layers that's going to take longer. The colors are all messed up too, I hope it's not permanently damaged... I'm just leaving it tonight buried in rice and hope for the best.

Thinking about having kids? Be ready for this kind of things!

Anyway, no data has been lost, so tomorrow we'll have a new rom to flash.

I will publish the changes to systemUi needed to make the wifi icon appear tomorrow too, of course.

Next tasks: fixing audio input and the search force closes. Any idea?
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
Shiiiiit, no way! Thats some damn bad luck.

Thanks for a new release though.

With regards to the Search FC, maybe we could get some logcats?

Ive not got a clue what to look for but it seems a good place to start
[Other SmartWatches] Atarii:
Holy ****! I saw you leave the chat, but had no idea it was because of something like that! Fingers-crossed everything is ok :good:
[Other SmartWatches] mazlana:
I've just fully charge my motoactv, and had downloaded all files needed to flash my motoactv, and a few second about to do the flash, but reading this means it will be better to wait for the new Rom tomorrow :)

Have you seen the first post? ;)
[Other SmartWatches] Boogerwooger:
Hey Guys,

I tried to install the Rom via the IMG Flasher, and putting the boot.img, preinstall.img, and system.img into the "images folder" located next to the Flasher. However, the result is a boot-loop screen with the M logo animated, frozen, then black, then the M logo animated and so on.

Here is a screenshot of the boot process, as I noticed there were some errors:

Please let me know if there is any way I can fix this.

PS: I already went and flashed stock root after the 1st attempt but before the 2nd, and got right into the starting menu (dates, etc) so my Motoactv has no problem booting. It DID have a different problem this morning where it was just stuck on the M logo (non animated), so I had to flash it to stock root after that as well.
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
I haven´t checked if ImageFlasher erases the user and cache partition. Maybe ClearD can tell us.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
The errors are not really errors, that's the image flasher telling you it didn't locate those files, so it isn't flashing them.
[Other SmartWatches] Atarii:
Thanks for the new ROM dproldan, just installed it. :)

One thing, I can't seem to disable wifi via the Settings after it's been enabled. Is this correct?
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
Oops!, you're right, that's a bug. Will take a look at it asap. We'll have to use the power widget meanwhile.
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
Not trying to flash the missing partitions is the right thing I to do.

DPRom needs to erase the user and cache partitions with "fastboot -w"

I don't know if your program does it. Would it be possible to add a selection button for that?
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
Im trying to get my Motoactv to show as a USB drive on my computer but its just not having it!

Any pointers?

It says something about connecting my motoactv device to the internet?

I dont want internet, i just want it to connect as a usb device! aaaaaaaargh
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Sure can, brother. Will need a little bit of time, as I'm off work until tomorrow night, but I should be able to add it in then. :)
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:

[Other SmartWatches] goges:
my power widget doesn't turn off the wifi aswell ...

power widget show its off ... but i still can online ;)

btw, the new ver. dont have the shortcut back to original launcher ?

some bug i found,

1) Wifi indicator not always show, sometime disappear

2) Widget menu never update, my menu only show " Calender, News&weather, Play Store, Power Control, Search X2", all other app's widget not show at all
[Other SmartWatches] Boogerwooger:
I just wanna thank you guys, for giving your time to working on the Motoactv, and I feel fortunate that I got it right at the time when all these wifi fixes are being implemented.

Keep being awesome!
[Other SmartWatches] goges:
oh sorry .. i found out that i have to move the app to phone then will show at widget menu .
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
Great, that worked!

It showed up as a USB device and I copied across the DPRom v9 file.

Now, I'm trying adb reboot recovery and its saying device not found.

I tried on a Terminal Emu on the actual device 'su, adb reboot recovery' and it says 'adb: not found.'

EDIT:

adb kill-server

adb start-server

then

adb reboot recovery :)

EDIT:

but its not a CWM flashable zip is it .... :P
[Other SmartWatches] funnycreature:
I rediscovered my interest in the MotoACTV after a long hiatus. I would love to have a selection of ROMs for it! I want to use Zombies, Run! on it once it gets warmer :D No better motivation than something half-dead chasing you!
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
Hey DP, great work on getting the WiFi icon in the notification area.

Could you do the same with the time? Being a watch and all :)

Also, is there any chance of getting an icon for Settings in the app drawer?
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
I just updated mine (no wipe followed update steps as I always have) everything works great so far. Looks like everything worked. I LOVE the wifi icon. Makes things so much better while in the launcher.

Any chance you could package this with superSU in the future? It's a pain to switch on this device and I would assume that most people these days use superSU instead of super user.

My hope for the next rom would be some custom watch faces if possible. I'm not very artistic myself or I would offer to help. Maybe someone else on here could team up with you and add a few watch face? Either way, awesome rom. THANK YOU SO MUCH for keeping my device updated.
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
You could use UCCW, you can get all the custom faces you want.

But your after Motoactv faces I presume.
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
Looks as if the old music button double tap to switch launchers is gone. Any way to reset that as the binding?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Extract, then flash in Fastboot via image flasher. :)
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
Yeah i got mixed up with your ROM for a split second!

Any news on your ROM? You gonna start a thread on xda?
[Other SmartWatches] peixeazul:
Just installed this myself. The double tap is mapped to the power button (on/off switch). :)

Hey there, just wanted to post my experience thus far.

Used the ImgFlasher to flash this ROM late last night. The first boot took FOREVER (or like ten minutes). In fact thought I had a bootloop going, but it finally turned over. (Probably my own fault as I didn't realize I had worn the battery down so far in my night of flashing different ROMs. It doesn't like to Fastboot with no charge :laugh: )

I love a lot of things about the ROM. Wifi icon is the bomb.

That said, I'm experiencing a couple issues that worry me immensely about using the device for it's intended purpose.

Cannot seem to pair it with my MOTOACTV app on my RAZR. It scans and scans, the device shows up in the list on the app, but they cannot complete a pairing. Anyone else noted issues with that? I'd like to keep the stock functionality with the added benefit provided from this ROM.

Serious battery drain. Down to 50% already at 11am when I was at full charge at 7am. Am I alone in that? (Could be that tinkering with wifi a little since it's new.

Lastly, anyone know how to re-sync all my old data from MOTOACTV.com?

Thanks for all the work! :good:
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
For whatever reason it keeps moving my apps to the "sdcard" and I keep losing my live wallpaper/widgets etc. Losing widgets is a huge problem for me because I'm using adw launcher ex. The last update of adw ex changed how you place widgets and now it doesn't fit on the screen.

If anyone knows an alternative way to place widgets on adw launcher ex I would appreciate it.

Thank you for the double tap power/launcher binding tip piexeazul.

[Other SmartWatches] ra111:
ok - so took the plunge and downloaded and installed this over my existing rooted device. Noticed the zip only has 3 files - so there were some errors that appeared when i flashed using ClearD flash utility.. what a mistake..... those missing files appear to be of significance as my device is now in a boot loop.

Further more, trying to get back to Fastboot i get the loop of battery too low cannot program. Hard close and open - no joy.

Did the 30second Start, Music, Power - nothing. Did the 10+ seconds vol up + down + start + power = no cigar.... fear I'm stuck and will need to dig out a wall adaptor to fully charge again.

Where did i go wrong? :(

thanks in advance:
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
You needed to move widgets to Phone in settings. Follow the steps in the OP for flit keyboard.
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
I appreciate the response but I don't think you understand the question/problem.

I know HOW to place widgets and yes I know they need to be on the internal memory not on the sdcard but the problem is that adw launcher ex changed the way widgets are added. A four icon window opens when you hold on the home screen. The problem is the screen is too small and the add widget section is below and you cannot scroll down to click it. I had it setup before adw launcher updated so I just didn't change my widgets at all. Now that this update moved apps to sdcard it cleared the widgets (as expected) I've moved them back to internal but haven't found a way to select the widgets button in adw launcher ex. I hate to switch launchers because adw settings allow for 0 transition speed and 0 desktop bounce making the watch look even faster.
[Other SmartWatches] vinokirk:
First thing I'd do would be charge the device for an hour or two.

Then follow the steps in the OP.

You'll need the android SDK.

It seems daunting, but it's quite easy.

Is there an Irc chat room for this rom?

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

Could you change the DPI temporally, so the buttons you need to press show on the screen?

I had to change the DPI to something silly, like 70 once to geta button to show once.
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
Yeah I've thought about it but have been afraid to try. I'm afraid that I won't be able to select things to change it back after or that it won't boot. Maybe I can make a cwm backup first and then give it a shot. I wish there was some sort of widget picker app or some way to disable the new feature of adw launcher ex. I no longer have an old copy of the app either :(

I'm sure anderweb of adw launcher ex didn't design that feature with this small of screen in mind.
[Other SmartWatches] peixeazul:
FWIW, I basically had the same thing late last night/early this morning with fastboot telling me it couldn't program without charging.

I let it sit at the Motorola logo for a good 10-20mins so that it could charge. I super worried about not getting to fastboot myself but it eventually relented and when I came back it was in set up mode asking for country.

How long did you let it sit before panicking? (I panicked early).
[Other SmartWatches] Atarii:
Yea sure #motoactv on freenode.net

I also had something similar; my battery seems very random and sometimes fastboot will say low charge one minute, then 60% the next.

You can edit the DPI via adb; change "ro.sf.lcd_density=120" to 100 in /system/build.prop. That way you can change it back again, even if you can't see items on screen :good:
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
I'm not sure why but it seems like all my settings are being lost each time the watch reboots or is powered down. Any ideas?
[Other SmartWatches] ra111:
thank you for the fast response: I did find a charger! :) I couldnt get ADB to work in cmd though once installed from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

sorry to sidetrack - any thoughts?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Maybe, gotta see what I can come up with first though. I know what I want, but I'm not as skilled as dproldan with this device yet.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Read back a couple of pages. The files are not missing, the utility searches for any/all possible files to flash, and "errors" if it doesn't find a certain file. That doesn't mean the file is needed, it just means the tool didn't find it to flash.

The bootloop may be from not wiping data before flashing, which is always common practice, but is something I'll be trying to implement into the img flasher tonight.

The command is:

fastboot -w
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Any and all tools I've created thus far already contain the adb and Fastboot drivers, meaning you do not need the sdk to use them. You cannot access adb unless the device is booted, also. You cannot access fastboot unless the device is in fastboot mode.

Recovery does not allow adb. Recovery also does not make backups.

If you need a backup, make one in the root tool using the backup command there in fastboot please, as it's the best way currently available as far as I know.
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
I am so frustrated with this thing right now. I changed the dpi to 100, placed my widgets (beautiful widgets etc) changed my dpi back and the widgets are all gone. I open the bw app and it shows my list of widgets that I created by they are off the home screen.
[Other SmartWatches] ra111:
Aha!! - sorted it :) - I went back to motoactv wiki and flashed back to Stock with root. - now boots back to regular Moto (YES!) - next re-downloading as zip and this time will copy to SD folder and then recovery mode. I presume a "Wipe Dalvik" is in order ahead of loading zip?

thanks again for the advice and help - i took a look back through the forum and indeed there are threads I saw on this too.

Fingers crossed this time around. :)

PS - tried to install XBMC - not enough storage (odd since I expanded to 1GB using Link2SD) soo - lets see what happens next :)

[Other SmartWatches] Atarii:

------------------

On a different note, I just thought I'd note down some stuff I've been working on tonight:

Wifi

It seems you can disable the wifi through the "Wireless & network settings" menu on this new Beta9 ROM sometimes. Not sure what caused it to not work before (dproldan you said you experienced this too?) :confused:

Search FC

Here's a logcat of the search FC: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=YRuQ6S8N

The root cause looks to be from SearchableSources.java (source-code here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/QuickSearchBox/+/gingerbread/src/com/android/quicksearchbox/SearchableSources.java) found in QuickSearchBox.apk. The FC appears to happen because it cannot get a list of suggestion sources (I think the getSearchablesInGlobalSearch() property of mSearchManager is causing the NullPointerException). Next step is to figure out why this is happening i.e. is this a permissions issue, is this a missing framework etc?

Bluetooth

I was digging around with the Bluetooth and have found how to enable HFAG, HSAG, OPUSH and PBAP Bluetooth profiles (these are just commented out in the RAMDisk). However, I don't use bluetooth, so am not sure if anyone would find them useful?

LiveDataHandler

Does anyone know a clean way to disable this (the service which records your steps/calories burned etc.)? I've found the SensorService in the framework, so could disable it there, but didn't know if there is a proper setting to disable/enable it? All I could find was increasing the sensor delay to 3 seconds (Marathon mode). I never use this stuff, so is eating up battery running in the background the whole time.

Anyways, the IRC chat was pretty dead, so I thought I'd just lay my notes down here incase it inspires anyone else :)
[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
+1

Can't wait to try out the new ROM but sadly my MotoACTV is having its screen repaired at Motorola at the moment.

The Wifi icon is a great addition! Would it be too much hassle to do the same thing with the time so it can be seen at all times (apart from full screen apps, of course)? I use SuperStatusbar to display the time at the moment but its Wifi indicator doesn't work properly.
[Other SmartWatches] sashapont:
Does USB Flash drives work with this ROM?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Working on several things at once, but got 3 things done so far tonight:

-Just pulled cdrom.img for atarii

-Getting my environment set up on this laptop to update flash tool for dproldan

-Just got a working 1.7.10 (identical to 1.7.12) rom set up/flashed/running.

So far tonight, I'm a happy camper, albeit a sleepy one. Still working.

EDIT: Atarii: http://www.cleardroidroms.com/download/cdrom.rar

The rest will have to wait until tomorrow. I've made a list for myself, so hopefully I can get it all working. :) First is the flasher, the download for the software took a LOT longer tonight than expected... as did the upload of that cdrom.rar file. It's pretty big, and my workplace has something like dialup.
