clock widget without weather?

hey, im curious as to what skin you used for the screenshot with the honeycomb clock without the weather. the only one i can find is the honey-naked and it still has the weather on it... in fact, i can't get any of them to exclude the weather unless i use the text clock and it doesn't seem to let you change the font to the honeycomb font.

nevermind, found an alternative.

[Other SmartWatches] Cunorix:
As an Android enthusiast, I'm digging both ClearD's and DPR's rom. However on DPR's lastest (8.1beta) Rom I can't seem to squeeze more than 3 to 4 hours max of battery life. I see three services eating more than 40% of my battery on a regular basis.

- SirfDRV

- Cell Standy

- Phone Idle.

I'd like to know how to either freeze, or delete this. I've tried looking in both Titanium Backup and Rom Toolbox with no results.

I've attempted to use RootDim to leave my display low as possible. And I'm monitoring my wifi's status, and keeping bluetooth/gps off.

So I'm a bit confused. Please help. :)
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
I'm getting 2-4 days depending on use. Be sure to complete the steps outlined in the first post.

Cell Standby and phone idle are not services, that's when the device is off. You want those to be as high as possible.

I have no idea about SirfDRV, maybe there's some program trying to access the GPS? You shouldn't turn GPS off!

RootDIM and some programs like that will prevent the device to completely turn off, be careful with them.

Try to install BetterBatteryStats, it will tell you wich program is keeping your device on.
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Why shouldn't we turn off the GPS? Just curious.
[Other SmartWatches] vasimv:
Installed "Wake up screen" application from Wildroid apps (paid, unfortunately, couldn't find non-trojan free applications for that) on the motoactv, works good. Now i can set sensitivity of wake-up shakes (tired of shaking my hand as idiot for long time to see nothing without pushing button). :) Cons: it activates the screen without backlight at all (you have to touch screen to activate backlight) but clock is still visible. I've asked the developer to add option to set after-wake backlight level and he said that it will be implemented soon. :)
[Other SmartWatches] Mize:
Any chance of this getting updated to 1.7.11N or 1.7.12N?

Not sure that 12 has any value, but 11 claims to have much improved Wifi battery performance...
[Other SmartWatches] Cunorix:
My battery life has improved slightly, however I believe that's because of two things: 1) My Motoactv is about a week old, I'm sure a few battery cycles improved it's life 2) I froze several applications in Titanium Backup, most if not all stock applications.

I'm still only receiving about 6-7 hours of battery life doing nothing except turning my watch on to check the time about 10 times in that 7 hour period. I've read the majority of threads on the MotoActv, and watched several YouTube videos. I believe I've found two clues:

1) It was mentioned in either this thread, or the 100+ thread titled, "MotoActv" where a member mentions having a corrupt boot image that had been affecting his battery life. He ended up reverting back to stock, went for a run, and came back with 90%. Reflashed DPR's rom and began receiving the 2 to 4 days battery life as claimed.

I don't have the link, so I hope that story was near, if not, completely accurate.

2) It was also mentioned by another member that having both Zeam, and the stock launcher running can greatly affect battery life. I went ahead and froze all "stock" related applications.

I've yet to attempt #1 but #2 has not improved my battery life by a noticeable margin (1-2 hours).

My battery tends to drop about 10% every 30 minutes. Using the device obviously does drop my battery down significantly faster, but others have claimed of up to an hour and a half display on and still walking away with ~20% battery. It makes my jaw drop, and I yearn for it.

Alas, finding my battery is just plain "bad", which I hope is the least possible outcome. But I hope that's not the case, so tonight I will be reverting back to stock, updating my device, and trying once again. I will get back.
[Other SmartWatches] schale01:
I've been looking at picking one of the MotoACTV's and I wanted to see what is available in the custom ROM scene. My biggest desire is just to have Google Music working on the MotoACTV but I wouldn't mind adding a few more tweaks if it doesn't affect battery life standby time too much. Is this the ROM for me or is there a more stock experience that still gets me google Music and better battery life?
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
I have google music working on this rom. I have tried all the motoactv ROMs and HIGHLY recommend this one! :)
[Other SmartWatches] Cunorix:
I also highly recommended this rom. After using the 1.1.6 root tool to revert to stock, reflash my boot image, reroot, and then reinstalled 8.1 my MotoActv is now flying!

I just checked my battery life, and I'm sitting at 23 hours (Forgot to turn it off last night). I think the trick here was updating my MotoActv via Motocast before I went ahead and rooted it. I'd consider this very important for any new MotoActv rooter, update first!

This watch is everything I wanted, and for $150 bucks, and both DPR and ClearDs work, now we have something truly special along the lines of what the Nook Color became to be.

We seriously need a MotoActv forum on XDA...
[Other SmartWatches] JohnnyOnTheSpot:
So I just rooted my 16 GB and have a few questions. I'm on DPRom 8.1 using Zean and LauncherPro:

-Is there anyway to fix DPI without messing up Motoactv? I set it at 100 for Zean, but my Motoactv looks ridiculous afterwards.

-Is there a better way to sync SMS with the watch than Motoactv? That's the only reason I'm still keeping it really.

-Why does my Wifi always turn off? Is there a fix, or better yet, is there a way to just tether off of my phone's internet via bluetooth?

-Why does my Motoactv bluetooth connection always turn off now? I can't keep a solid connection with my phone anymore, and like I said the main reason I like the watch is to read my texts.

Thanks everyone!
[Other SmartWatches] xellion:
i have the same issues with the wifi / bluetooth constantly disconnecting

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

if im on an older ROM version can i update to a new one without going through the entire process?
[Other SmartWatches] JohnnyOnTheSpot:
Just as an update to my previous post, the phone and the watch, before being rooted, would disconnect after some inactivity. I'm finding that since rooting, not only does it disconnect much sooner, but I can typically only reconnect after rebooting both devices. I use the SMS functionality daily and will just return to stock if I can't fix this, but I'm sure someone has it working properly. Just wondering how you got it working well.

Also really want to be able to bluetooth tether but I blame my Epic more than the Motoactv.
[Other SmartWatches] TexasSilhouette:
Not because it's a requirement but just because I want to know, why won't Angry Birds play? I get a black screen.
[Other SmartWatches] chikmagnet:
any update on the wifi and bluetooth disconnect issue?

For me it seems as though it will only stay connected if there is a constant pull of data through wifi. I have not tested the bluetooth connection isue yet
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
I believe wifi is set to shut off after 15 minutes regardless of data use or not.
[Other SmartWatches] chikmagnet:
is there anyway to change that?
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
It involves decompiling a system package. I explained it somewhere on these threads. Originally the timeout was 1 minute.
[Other SmartWatches] JohnnyOnTheSpot:
I've been using Tablet Talk for the SMS and it does the job, definitely happy with it. Just cannot find a way to bluetooth tether internet to my phone. On the phone, i have Foxfi with Bluetooth DUN enabled, and on the watch I have NC Tether. The watch identifies that it's going to pair with my phone, as it shows up in the devices list in NC Tether, but I click it and it goes gray, no matter what. Would love to get this working somehow.
[Other SmartWatches] bart77:
I have tried the same. I wonder if the motoactv Bluetooth service interferes with the data connection? Can we disable it some how and try it?
[Other SmartWatches] bart77:
Don't know what's different but Angry Birds RIO will work, but the other 2 will not.
[Other SmartWatches] imerso:
Hi, I just rooted and installed DPRomBeta8_1 on my MotoACTV, thank you for this, quite nice!

I have read most of the thread posts, but not all of them yet.

So, I have two questions:

-- Is the DPRomBeta8_1 the newest version?

-- Are there any definitive solutions to keep wifi always on?

I will spend some time to try an idea that may solve this, if not solved already.

Cheers,

imerso
[Other SmartWatches] imerso:
Ok, so I wrote a tiny system service for android which stays running in the background, and whenever motoactv turns wifi off, it just turns the wifi on again.

This is how I prefer my MotoACTV to behave, and I guess some people may find it useful as well, so here it is. I really don't care too much about battery usage, I just want it always on.

I am releasing it entirely for free, but as always, use it at your own risk.

Please note that WifiOn will of course increase battery usage of your device. You should know why and if you really want to use it before installing.

To install the apk:

// after installing, i had to move it to the main phone and reboot for it to load at boot time.
// after that, no need to manually start wifi. it is always wifi connected.

adb install wifion.apk

Download link: imersiva.com/get.php?f=wifion

I think I'll add a wardrive mode to this little thing -- maybe. Later.

Cheers,

imerso
[Other SmartWatches] speechman:
Could you post the link or send me the file?

Thanks!!!
[Other SmartWatches] imerso:
here:

imersiva.com/get.php?f=wifion (~150kb)

Just some notes:

-- this is a system service, so there are no screens, it just runs silently at boot time (please make sure to move the service to the phone memory and reboot after installing);

-- it should have very little cpu usage by itself, I mean, it's expected to use near zero cpu resources;

-- it will automatically activate wifi on boot and after, no need to manually set wifi on again;

-- it will keep wifi on forever --- and of course make your device drain the battery much faster --- unless you uninstall it.

...(deleted)...
[Other SmartWatches] Ishman:
I was wondering if you have a widget set on your home screen to switch wifi on/off does this allow one to turn it on and stay on and turn it off to stay off?

Nevermind I read that it keeps it on constantly.

Thanks for the work.
[Other SmartWatches] imerso:
I will be adding a little app to start/stop the service as desired, that seems reasonable.
[Other SmartWatches] imerso:
Ok, so now this is a bit grown and renamed to "imersiva CloIp WifiOn", and it is two little apps in one:

-- the WifiOn service;

-- a simple clock which shows time, date, the current ip, and allows to switch WifiOn on and off.

-- settings (clock style and wifion state) are saved, even between reboots.

The download link is the same: [ imersiva.com/get.php?f=wifion ] (~160kb)

There is a readme.txt file in the new package. Please read that for details.

This is released as freeware and does only what is stated, but as always, use it at your own risk. Please note that to be safer, you should uninstall the old WifiOn first, then install the new package.

This is still under testing, and I'll be grateful if people post some feedback with impressions, bugs, etc.

Thanks,

imerso
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
This is really cool. Good job!
[Other SmartWatches] imerso:
Thank you. I think that now I can see better what people really need, and I'm going back to a simple wifi on/off switcher. There are many cool clock/whatever gadgets around already and there is no need for an ugly clock designed by a programmer. =)

I will be uploading a new version with just the switcher in a few hours.

Cheers

Hello, I´m new Motoactv user and still excited, very impressed by the work of developers here. I will be really expecting your work imerso
[Other SmartWatches] eagleeyetom:
Thread reopened.
[Other SmartWatches] imerso:
Thanks!

I was about to remove the little clock from the utility, but then I noticed that none of the free clock gadgets and utilities are running the way I expected, so I just updated visuals a bit and left the simple clock there. I made the little clock exactly because I did not find any other clock with ip info that *just* works on my own device.

You don't need to keep the clock running for the wifi to stay on, you open the clock, toggle the wifion service (on or off), then you can close the clock. Even if you reboot, you don't need to run the clock again, as the service will remember its state.

I will consider releasing another package with a switcher only, and possibly a gadget, but that will have to wait until the next weekend.

Hope this is being useful.

Cheers!

Hello,

First off, thanks for the inspiration to buy this watch. I just picked up one of these yesterday. I have used the watch for one run last night and worked well.

Once installing this ROM, does the existing Motocast running program on the watch still run reliably? Am I able to go back to stock if this rom doesn't work out?

Thanks in advance,

housej55
[Other SmartWatches] imerso:
Hi,

I just updated the WifiOn utility.

http://imersiva.com/get.php?f=wifion (~165kb)

-- a bit better looking but still very simple clock;

-- 3 icons are present now: the clock, a wifion shortcut, and a wifioff shortcut;

-- the icons are better looking than the first one, but still... well.

So, it works this way, you still can use the clock to toggle wifi, but you don't need to. You can just touch the WifiOn or the WifiOff shortcuts to toggle your wifi.

The wifi radio may take some minutes to effectively turn off, after you disable the always on service.

This utility is released as freeware and I hope that it is useful to some people.

Cheers,

imerso

Got this ROM running great!

Couple of things:

- I like the flick keyboard, but everytime I restart the device it goes back to the Gkeyboard.

- There doesnt seem to be the proper pull down notification area on this ROM. I have done as asked in the OP, is that the Zeam pull down notification area? I'm wanting to get the time to show in the notification area along with the battery

- Its a bugger that search doesnt work. Is this being looked into by anyone?

- Navigation FC's on my device, is this normal?

- On my S3, I long press the middle button and it brings up a list of open apps, is this possible on the MA?

- I've remapped the start button to home. Is there any way to get into the stock motoactv launcher now?

- every time i restart my device i have to input my drop box details again.

Tried cleardroid but its quite laggy and fcs quite a bit
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
You have to move flick keyboard to the internal memory, explained in first post.

Is not easy to access the notifs area, but it's there. Look at the zeam preferences.

Navigation works for me, but it needs an active data connection.

Try some kind of task killer if you want, but it's not recommended.

When you press home, it should give you a list of launchers to choose from. Double clicking the power button should do the same.

Try moving dropbox to the internal memory

Is there a thread on the ClearDroid ROM anywhere? I've looked but can't find one.

If I open the program while at the stock 160dpi, the app will stay open, however I cannot select "go" or "start" at the bottom because its not available due to resolution as I cannot scroll down.

When I switch the resolution to anything other than 160 (90, 120, 140) , the app crashes when I try to open it up. I would usually just use another app, but I have a ton of miles logged in with Nike + and have not found a way to import runs in to the Nike + page.
