Challenge Accepted...

Here is your ROM. Only it's flashable through clockworkmod. (Thanks CEnnis91 for leading the way)

By the way, I think you could make your ROMs a LOT smaller--there seems to be a lot of duplication between the preinstall and system images.

Download here:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-N4FWXqTusJZ3oxOExTX2pKMm8

Just to make sure everything downloads properly:

MD5 (DPRomBeta7_CWM.zip) = fb8ce4be23f67955e5a52d2e0317c1b6

Your Mileage May Vary
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
Preinstall.img has extra packages included, those that you can uninstall later.

Also, if comingpming from a previous motoactv version, you want the latest preinstall.img
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Downloading! I gotta see how this was done. ;)

And for those that still need it, I posted the alpha version of the IMG Flasher in the Motoactv thread. :)

Update: I see what you did there, you wrote it to flash like a boot image. Why didn't I think of that. x] Very well done!

dproldan Hi,

Why I can not put an Widget of digital clock on the Home screen, I tried to put several types of digital clock with no success?

Thanks,

Arie.
[Other SmartWatches] lordscipio:
worked like a charm, thanks! The white backgrounds made some apps look weird (mixzing media player) and a lot of menus were white on white. The black background fixed all those issues. Thanks again!

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

try going to settings- application settings- manage applications. Then click on your widgets app or the app your widget came from ie a launcher and select the "move to phone button". All launchers and apps that have widgets should be moved "to phone"

hope that helps!

yeah freezing worked as expected, what settings did you set up for perfect keyboard? Flint is not bad at all. Will def give perfect keyboard a try

Hello Guys,

I´m an newbie an dI need help;-)

I bought the US version of these "watch" and like to change it to the EU version, cause of the german language and speech during training.

Is this possible and how?

I will be very happy if I can get some hints and explanations, I´m not familar with android systems:-/

Regards, TOM
[Other SmartWatches] lordscipio:
If you do a factory reset it will ask you what region you are in and you can go from there. To do a factory reset you simply go into settings -- general- factory reset. You will obviously lose all your data and account setup.

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

I am not experiencing the FCs with wifi, but did notice that wifi does turn off after a while, seems to be much better than without the fix though. Did you flash once you had your motoactiv account set up? That might be causing the FC issues, I did a factory reset to avoid problems. Also, did you disable calendar sync as stated in the OP? If not that might also be the problem...
[Other SmartWatches] Jye75:
Thanks, I'll give this a try :-)
[Other SmartWatches] ottovalvole:
Hey Thanks for the info.

You are sure that it will be possible in the US version to change to EU?

Is a root necessesary or do I need to flash a EU ROM?

Or is it just quick and dirty with original software out of the box?

Cheers TOM
[Other SmartWatches] lordscipio:
Not sure, you will probably need to flash a EU ROM. I remember it asking for the region when you do a factory reset, I would try that first to see if it works when you select a non-us region.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
EU has their own Rom version, but I don't think cennis91 made a stock version of it because there was almost no difference or something along those lines.

If yes, does someone owns one and can send it:laugh:?

[Other SmartWatches] lordscipio:
Quick question, does anyone know if this ROM will work with the 16GB version or is this only for the 8GB? If not, how hard would it be to port over? Thinking about upgrading mine to the 16GB one, but if the ROMs are incompatible them I'll stick with the 8 gig
[Other SmartWatches] misquia:
Can someone tell me tf this ROM would be able to easily transfer workout data to Endomondo or if Endomondo would work with this?
[Other SmartWatches] jackboa:
Hi

Yes endomondo works fine with it. but there are some bugs. Screen autorotate that you can not easily see workout data during workout. second thing is that shortcut to music does not work from endomondo. You have to turn music on by some extra installed player and then turn endomondo.

Besides that it works just fine.

[Other SmartWatches] youfeng:
Hi, I followed the instructions and pushed the new framework-res.apk to my Motoactv. But all my apps are denied root access. Am I missing something? Thanks.

[Other SmartWatches] lordscipio:
I know the price difference should always be negligible, but unfortunately it's never like that. Did you mean that this should work with the 16 or just that the price difference should be negligible? Thanks ClearD!

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

Haha, well I would rather not buy the 16gig if it's not going to work with this ROM, the 8gig one has served me well thus far.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
The Rom should work with both 8 and 16Gb versions. From what I recall, a while back, CEnnis91 did a diff on both versions, and the only difference between the two is the timestamp. That's why the boot images in the root tool work for both. :)

[Other SmartWatches] stoudamire:
Finally, I tried your rom. You put some nice things in it.

You might consider adding the Searchmarket app to the ROM.

Nevertheless, I went back to stock for now as I got some races in front of me and the battery drain was just too heavy.

Widgets and Wifi

I love the rom but my wifi still cuts out randomly ( for example it cut off 3 times while downloading a map for sygic) and widgets do not restore on reboots for me .. also the superuser being outdated is annoying since i cannot update it ... buut all in all this works fine.. just wish these little problems were taken care of... if anyone knows how to fix any if not all of these issues i would really appreciate it!

oh and also the keyboard keeps reverting to the stock one instead of my ICS Keyboard (which works beautifully btw)

update : ok so the widgets work now that i have them on internal storage , but i thought of a new suggestion , maybe try to make the accelerometer a little less clucky if possible, idk how to get auto rotate to work on my launchers but i tried playing SpeedX 3D and it kinda works but randomly stops accepting my turn inputs.
[Other SmartWatches] Ke1evraTi:

Next release

ETA on next release ?
[Other SmartWatches] speechman:
Fixed a few problems

Great ROM..still a few bugs. First, I have a 16GB and the rom works fine. I couldn't get the su update listed on this thread to work correctly, so I fixed superuser on mine by running the MotoACTV Root Tool V1.1.6 and clicking root MotoACTV after I had installed this ROM. The utility is also nice to make backups of your ROM.

I installed the wifi on all the time update and just put a wifi button on my launcher page to turn it on and off ...seems to work fine (wifi no longer shuts off randomly).
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
Never ask for ETA's.

Problem installing dprom

Hi I followed the steps but once I got to the command line and typed in fastboot -w

I get a message that said it is not recognized as an internal or external command.

I have downloaded he ROM, and extracted to a folder on my desktop.

So what am I doing wrong?
[Other SmartWatches] lacrossev:
Fastboot and abd already need to be set up properly prior to this. If you've used fastboot or adb with a phone you can extract the rom to the directory where those are. For example my phone stuff is all on my desktop in a specific folder so i unzipped the rom in to that directory, open a cmd prompt then navigated there and ran the commands.
[Other SmartWatches] lacrossev:
The newer versions had the wifi fix reversed as it was thought that its more stable without now. However if its still disconnecting then I would suggest that you manually install the modded services.jar. With that said the modified services.jar only extends the timeout to an additional 10 minutes so it would still disconnect while downloading larger files like a sygic map, as i also experienced a few disconnects while getting a 350 meg map. I'd rather have it like this personally because i would hate to start a download, have it finish then have the wifi still connected. The battery on this thing isnt huge and every little bit helps.
[Other SmartWatches] scvietboi:
I have set up ADB and fastboot already.

Can you list out the step in order to install this ROM on the MOTOACTV?

I heard a lot of good things, but i cannot seem to install it whatsoever.

Motoactv cracked screen

OK long story short i got my motoactv stepped on and now the screen is unusable. i just got it to come up on my computer but it is not in adb mode it just shows up as a storage device. I cannot however seem to get it into fast boot mode ... i have tried multiple times but it doesnt seem to work. I am trying to restore it to stock so i can send it in for repair.. is there anyway to do this when usb debugging is turned off (apparently) and i cannot access fast boot? ... or is there another way to enter these modes

edit: not being able to get into fast boot wouldnt be due to me remapping the volume keys to home and menu would it ?

[Other SmartWatches] xellion:
am trying this rom, it started out working just fine

however the sensitivity seems too way to high, every time i try to scroll something else gets clicked, or opens and when this happens it opens whatever i clicked on 2 or 3 times simultaneously. Also when i try to use Flick it types all kinds of extra letters because of this.

its also impossible to navigate the market because everything keeps accidentally opening when i try to scroll and when i go back it puts me back at the top of the list.

is there any way to change this?

the last rom i used did not have this issue and i like everything else about this one
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
Nobody has reported such an issue. Does it happen also in the stock launcher?

one test: hold the motoactv with your hand, making sure you are touching the back metal plate. Is the issue still present?
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
Another test: does it change when you are charging (test both AC and USB charging)?
[Other SmartWatches] x999x:
Would you advise against stripping this of system apps and remapping the keys? I like what the rom offers, but I don't need any of the original watch features or the need for a double press to access the launcher. And with that said, would remapping the buttons with Jaysen's bat file remove the double press req for the launcher?
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
Double press is not a requirement, just don't use it.

If you remove /system/app/Launcher2.apk, you will not see any more of the stock apps, and you will not need to double press power anymore.
[Other SmartWatches] kevina90:
loving this ROM, i think its going to be my daily driver from now on :D 1 thing though, how do you change the launcher wallpaper? Its different from stock
[Other SmartWatches] x999x:
Thanks, I've been experimenting with just uninstalling the apps I don't want with Titanium Backup (root), after backing them up of course :)

Very nice rom, I have to say one of the bonuses is definitely having a larger pool of internal storage.

I have noticed something quirky with the accelerometer however, it seems to shut off after a 30 seconds or so, and is awoken again with a violent shake. Maybe its set to just be used for waking up the watch right now with the shake/lifting action, at which point it is disabled again? I've been giving it a go on Temple Run, and it seems I need to give it a good shake every so often for the sensor to stay awake.

Edit -

I've noticed some games like Cube Runner and Lane Splitter have a horrible time with the accelerometer on the motoactv, even when the sensitivity is adjusted. It just goes to sleep during the game, or gets stuck at some extreme angle. However, Race of Champions handles the accelerometer "like a champ" to put it mildly. Not sure what the deal is, it must have a huge dead-zone or something that needs extreme tilts to keep it alive.
[Other SmartWatches] king conan:
Hi dproldan,

mi unit is coming and I want to be ready and understand everything before I flash. Mi doubts are:

Do I need to root first to flash your ROM o is it enough with following the adb/fastboot instructions?

If I flash without backing up the stock ROM, how would I be able to go back to stock if I want to?

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] jmcourir:
Hi King Conan,

You dont need to root before doing the procedure of post #1. But make sure to install the fastboot first like explained on Post #1, before proceding to fastboot command.

It is very easy. I have followed post #1 and it works very good.

JmCourir
[Other SmartWatches] king conan:
Thanks Jm,

I'll do it that way. But I guess I'll follow the root process first with the root tool where is possible to backup and return to stock if I want.

Am I correct?
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
You do not need to use the Root Tool to return to stock; stock images have already been supplied and they are flashed in a similar manner as flashing this ROM. (hopefully dproldan will update his rom to use that format I supplied so everything is consistent) ;)
[Other SmartWatches] king conan:

[Other SmartWatches] Margino:
I've been away for a while and unable to log into the forum. It's great to be back and have a new MA ROM to play with. Many thanks dproldan!

I've been trying out DPRomBeta8.1 for the last 36 hours and I love the modifications you've done. Having more settings and the calendar sync working straight from install is great, and double pressing the power button is really very useful.

These are the issues I've run into so far (both with solutions):

The first is the keyboard reverting back to GKeyboard, but this has been solved in a previous post, freezing GKeyboard using Titanium Backup. That worked for me.

The second is with bluetooth. I use the Jabra Street 2 for listening to music using the stock player (good for audiobooks as it remembers the position when in the podcast folder). It has buttons that do the usual things (play, volume etc.) and everything works well until I switch the Jabra off and on again. It will then still receive audio and the on screen play/pause touch button works, but the Jabra buttons don't work and the physical Music button (which I reassigned to MEDIA in the G2-keypad.kl file) also doesn't work. I've found that freezing the default music app with Titanium Backup also solves this problem.

Anyone else getting gapps FC's when wifi is turned on?
[Other SmartWatches] x999x:
I did - frequently. I did resolve it however, and I did it with Titanium backup if I recall, I'm back on clearD's rom so I'm a little hazy on the details. I uninstalled all the google apps I still had installed (google services, market, and search) and wiped their data with Titanium, rebooted, then reinstalled allowing the apps to recreate its own default data settings. I never reinstalled search come to think of it.

It all boiled down to a google application (which one particularly - i was never able to pinpoint), and some erroneous data settings if I recall. Never had a problem again after that. I do believe it happened after I pushed the services.jar update for the longer wifi keep alive.
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
In my case, disabling the calendar syncs stops the fc completely. It's in settings, accounts and sync settings, your account. If you still want calendar syncs, try to delete its data from application settings. As explained in the first post.
[Other SmartWatches] x999x:
Yeah, I had that fix in place, despite not having calendar installed or active. Theres a quirk in there somewhere, but it can be resolved through deleting the correct data, just not sure which.
[Other SmartWatches] CEnnis91:
Does /data/data/com.android.providers.calendar/ exist?
[Other SmartWatches] x999x:
Unfortunately I can't verify that at this point. I've switched to ClearD's rom over the weekend. I had tackled the gapps FCs after googling around for a while - theres a ton of hits on that btw. I can tell you that I did not have the calendar active at all, backed it up with Titanium first, then uninstalled it from the app manager.

Fantastic job on this ROM and its write-up. Thanks for your hard work!

What would be required to either further extend the 10-minute wifi timeout to a longer period or indefinitely on until manually turned off, OR have a user-selectable menu in the wifi settings that allows us the multiple choice options of say 5 min, 10 min, always on choices?

Also, what's involved in leaving the music button as its stock purpose as the music button, but a double-click of it will open menu?
