Version 1.11 has been uploaded.

Thanks for the info. For the manual export while testing version 1.10 I was trying to enable wifi and then wait for an active connection to continue. Not really standard android ui management, but, I was using that for testing. That was the cause of the delays. 1.11 removes that and makes the wifi enable manual. This only effects when going to the manual export or settings. The automatic export still has wifi managed by the motoactv and should update whenever a connection is established by the motoactv. For me this is normally just a couple minutes after I am near a connection. Not sure why dropbox would take longer for you, in my testing its pretty close to instant. It could have been the delays in the wifi connection I guess. Still working through the paused workout issue.

Help rooting Motoactv & installing the TCX exporter

Hi All,

Great work you're doing! I wish I was as fluent. I got stuck trying to flash my device using MotoACTV Root Tool V1.1.6 (not bricked, just won't take). I'd like to offer a $50 bounty or consulting fee for someone within a couple hours of my Pacific time zone to walk me through the procedure on a call + screenshare to the point of success. Success defined as rooting my Motoactv currently running v1.7.12, installing the TCX exporter, and advising me how to use a file manager or ADK tools to manage the device / install future apps.

Please PM me if you can help. I can post the job to elance or ebay if you like. Payment assumed by paypal or suggest another way.

I'll try to edit/delete this post once I get the help I'm looking for. Note that I will also plan to convey as much of what I learn on other Motoactv users on less-technical forums so they can get some relief from this TCX problem too.

Thanks in advance,

A.J.
[Other SmartWatches] stoudamire:
A bounty or fee should not be necessary. Just tell us what you have tried and where are you stuck on. The rooting process is actually pretty straight forward.
[Other SmartWatches] Northstar702:
Thank you! It's important to me to get this work and I really appreciate any help.

I flashed the ROM that I found on this thread onto my device but it didn't seem to do much. The version still reads 1.7.12 N8 however now it won't open MotoCast when I plug the device in, and the drive isn't recognized (despite giving me the USB PNP success sound). So now I can't load music on the device - so I've gone backwards. Not good! Should I not have started with version 1.7.12? Maybe it's unsupported?
[Other SmartWatches] engmex:
Your Motoactv is probably not being recognized because it is in debugging mode. To turn off debugging mode you need to run the command:

adb shell stop adbd

on your computer with the watch plugged in. If you reboot the Motoactv debugging mode will be turned on again so you'll need to reissue the the above command. Flashing will not change the firmware version. If the Motoact-Exporter is installed correctly you should find the configuration in settings where it is the last entry right at the bottom.
[Other SmartWatches] Northstar702:
Back to square one

Thanks that did it! So now I'm back to where I started. Before I root this I have a couple of questions about living with a rooted MotoActv:

- Is loading music as easy as dragging music files using windows explorer?

- Can it still sync via wifi to the Motoactv.com cloud?

If the answers are yes then I would like to root this device and will post details about where my root process is failing.

For anyone following along, I found this workaround to create TCX files while figuring out this great TCX-maker app for the device. You download a .CSV file from the Motoactv.com site and then run it through the converter at dev.zinu.co.uk/MotoActv/. There is a trick though, you have to use the *correct button* :confused: to download the file otherwise the conversion fails. The correct button is located as shown in the screenshot attached. Note that CSV files downloaded this way also upload directly into Training Peaks (are you listening, Strava?):

Go to web address family12.com/files/ExampleFile.jpg
[Other SmartWatches] almeriarunner:
Keyboard?
[Other SmartWatches] engmex:
I'm pretty much lost as I assumed you'd already rooted your Motoactv. As for downloading the CSV file and converting to TCX why would you want to do that when you can download a TCX file directly from the Motoactv site. To do that just click on the Export button (below The challenge a friend and share buttons) on the workout page. Or bulk download in Settings->Export tab
[Other SmartWatches] Northstar702:
The goal for a lot of athletes is to get workout data from the device to Strava and Training Peaks for analysis and sharing with friends or a coach. The problem with the method you described is that the TCX file you get has problems. It truncates up to 15% of your data! What a bummer when you work so hard. If it worked I wouldn't be on here. My assumption was that the authors of the posts on rooting and the TCX file maker were motivated to solve this same problem, but maybe not. Maybe it was just to make it more convenient to have a TCX file + not be dependent on a clunky/slow website that might go away some day. I'm also assuming and hoping that the TCX file created by the onboard program will not have the data loss issue.
[Other SmartWatches] stoudamire:
As the actual software keeps unchanged during the rooting process, both questions can be answered with YES.
[Other SmartWatches] almeriarunner:
I'm not so sure about it being correct ..

Here's what I have on Motoactv for a bike ride:

Duration: 1:45:52 Distance: 19.79(mi) Avg. speed: 11.21(mph) Cal. burned: 1670

here's what the above exporter pushed into Sporttracks:

Time: 2:51:52 Distance: 40.11 km Speed: 14.0 kmh Calories: 1,669

Well.. it got the calories right!!!!!
[Other SmartWatches] Northstar702:
Hmm. I'd suspect SportTracks' import for that one judging by the different units of measure because if you open up the CSV file and compare it to one gathered with another data acquisition system such as Cyclemeter on an iPhone, you'll see that the UOMs that Motorola uses are strange looking SI units such as meters per second whereas your SportTracks may have been expecting mph in its CSV files. Are you sure you're using the latest SportTracks? I just uploaded a CSV and a TCX file into SportTracks 3.1 and they both match.

When I compared data recorded by the MotoActv and Cyclemeter after importation into Training Peaks (which handles the differing units in the CSV files just fine), the two correlated very well. The summary data on each screen also matched, within GPS tolerances. The converter program to make TCX files at website dev.zinu.co.uk/MotoActv also seems to be able to handle the differences in units just fine.

If that all checks out then maybe on is counting pauses and the other isn't. You can try uploading into a free Strava or TP account as a double-check. Or attaching your data files.
[Other SmartWatches] almeriarunner:
So any idea what's wrong???

I don't want to get into all the problems of importing via dev.zinu.co.uk/MotoActv and Starva and Sporttracks etc.

I want this exporter - Motoactv TCX Exporter 1.11 to work!!! (it does the simple stuff .. puts the latest TCX on my SD card fine!!! So it does "work" great for me! - Thanks very much!)

I'm at a loss... why can everything appear to install and work and yet, I can't see the menu on my motoactvs (I have two!)

Surely someone can offer a sugegstion??? :fingers-crossed:
[Other SmartWatches] memtd:
Are you using laps?

Known Issues:

Lap info not calculated correctly after pausing and resuming a workout.

I've never had any issues importing into sport tracks. The data has always looked good.

Also I've never had anything show up in the menu of my Motoactv. I'm not sure if this is only available if you put a different launcher on your Motoactv which I've never tried. If I need to get to any of the settings I manually run the program using this command.

adb shell am start -n com.sdsoft.motoactv_export/com.sdsoft.motoactv_export.MainActivity
[Other SmartWatches] Northstar702:
Wait what did you mean when you wrote "using the above exporter"? The on-board app at the start of this thread or the process I explained? So are you saying the TCX files made by the on-board app are erroneous?
[Other SmartWatches] almeriarunner:
I refer to the process you explained. I'm sure it works fine most of the time.. but it didn't work for me :(

The app - Motoactv TCX Exporter works fine (although I can't get the latest version to make the menu entry on my device.) I just thought I'd try it the way you mentioned as an experiment.

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

No me neither. Laps? well I didn't have auto pause set, so I manually pause and restart. Most runs have at least one pause for me - happens when you get to 50 and your prostate expands and your bladder shrinks... piece of **** body! :crying:

But I wasn't using the motoactv tcx exporter.apk. I was using this other thingy that somehow crept into this thread.
[Other SmartWatches] Northstar702:
Are you 100% sure you used the RIGHT export button? There are two and my screenshot (at the link) shows which works and which gives errors.
[Other SmartWatches] almeriarunner:
Yes.

Now we'd better stop as this is way off-topic. Let's get back to Motoactv_TCX_Exporter.apk Version 1.11 ...

Working great for me... but where is that pesky menu? anyone?
[Other SmartWatches] Northstar702:
Kind of important to know which data capture methods work properly and which ones don't.

Anyway I think I see what you did - the mismatch occurred upon import to SportTracks. The sequence I gave was to get to Strava with a TCX file or TrainingPeaks with either CSV/TCX. I had no problem importing those files into SportTracks but I'm using the latest (3.1.4832) and I had no pauses. I believe older ST versions don't have a Motoactv CSV import profile. It may also be counting your pause time as working time.

I know you want someone to solve your menu problem so I'll get off this topic now but I think someone's going to be thankful about this subtopic and an alternate way to work around it without rooting & installing this exporter. If not you. Good luck with your issue.

source code

Hi Dave,

Would u kindly share the source code with us, so we could easily add more upload options and other stuff to it?

Cheers,

Kloon
[Other SmartWatches] ingo86:
Hello Dave,

thanks a lot for your work.

Like kloon15 says, it would be really great if you can post your source code on Github to enable other people to work and improve the tool.

This way we can have an issue queue and we can keep track of the development.

Waiting for your answer.

Thanks again.

Ingo

Were are the "settings"?

Hello!

First of all thank you so much for this useful tool that saved my Motoactv watch. I bought it a few days ago and discovered that the motoactv.com site is one of the greatest crap ever. The new accounts (as mine) are not validated no matter what (error message: "This account does not have a device associated with it". So, the problem was that I was able to check my workouts only with the device and not able to load it in any portal, check there, share it etc.

So thanks a lot for saving me! :)

My problem is that I am not able to see the "Settings" menu mentioned here many times. I rooted the watch, installed Motoactv_export.apk (164.250 bytes) and Settings.apk (2.144.352 bytes) as described on the first page. The TCX files are created automatically and everything is fine with them (uploaded to connect.garmin.com). But I can not find the "settings" to define a DropBox or Google Driver or Runkeeper account for automatic upload after workout finishes.

In my Settings menu I have this submenus:

- Workout

- Sensors

- Wireless

- Battery Saver

- Personal Profile

- Music

- Display

- Notifications

- General

- Export to TCX

Where can I define the Runkeeper account and enable it for automatic update of the workouts? Do I need to install something else?
[Other SmartWatches] two_wheels:
Yes you either need to install a "launcher" on your Motoactv so you can launch the TCX Exporter app on the Motoactv, or, you can launch it from your computer using a command prompt and ADB by using:

adb shell am start -n com.sdsoft.motoactv_export/com.sdsoft.motoactv_export.MainActivity

Then you can launch the TCX exporter app on your Motoactv and see its settings menu.
[Other SmartWatches] engmex:
You should be able to enter your Runkeeper, Google Drive and Dropbox account info under the "Export to TCX" menu entry

Thank you! You are right, it's there. :)
[Other SmartWatches] grudas:
so i click export, it does its job(Well the wait buttons turns back to export) but theres nothing in sd.. ?! no way of syncing with dropbox/gdrive either.. boo.. and motoactv.com seems to be down already.. been a week and im unable to sync anything either through wifi or pc.
[Other SmartWatches] engmex:
Have you enabled the write to sd card, dropbox and gdrive in the options?
[Other SmartWatches] grudas:
that is sorted now, just got a different rom on it :) and only installed the export app no settings.apk like i did last time.

works well now, shame that i can't use motoactv website to sync anything as it wont work! :eek:
[Other SmartWatches] dclutter1:
I bought a motoactv a couple of weeks ago but I haven't had time to mess with it much (still using my garmin 305, lol). I haven't been able to get anything out of the website. Is that just completely dead now?

What roms are you guys using? Can I just root the stock rom and install this? If I understand this right, this will add an extra menu in the options so I don't HAVE TO have a 2nd launcher?
[Other SmartWatches] engmex:
The Motoactv website is not dead, but it can be a pain. Try deleting your cookies. To install the Motoactv -exporter you can just root the stock rom. The easiest way is to use this:

http://www.cleardroidroms.com/motoactv.php

Follow the instructions and select flash boot image and root. It's pretty straight forward. To install the motoactv exporter follow the instructions at the beginning of this thread. The settings.apk is optional and will add a menu item to the motoactvs settings.
[Other SmartWatches] dclutter1:
Thanks, that's all what I was hoping.

I rooted and installed the main app and settings fine. I get the menu, and the TCX file gets written to the root of the watch after I finish a run. This is the most important part.

That all works great but I can't get dropbox, drive, or any of the other upload/sync options to work. Dropbox gives me a "Loading - Please wait for a moment..." dialog box and the others all just give me a blank white screen. I've let dropbox sit for about 30 minutes and the others for 10-15. In the watch settings it shows I'm connected to wifi.

Any ideas? I saw superdave mention the authentication method earlier in the thread. I don't know anything about it but I wonder if something has changed there.
[Other SmartWatches] engmex:
Sorry I don't have any ideas. I use Dropbox, and it works fine. The only thing I can suggest is you try using a different router/internet connection
[Other SmartWatches] dclutter1:
I've already tried 2 :(

Oh well, thanks for the help. It's a win in my book just getting it to export locally.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Hello all! :) Just added this thread to the MotoACTV Roll-up (info) thread. If there's anything I can assist with, give a shout and I'll do what I can. This is the kind of development I love seeing for this device, so please keep up the great work, superdave!
[Other SmartWatches] dclutter1:
I got this working. Here's what I did in case anyone else encounters similar problems.

1. Returned to stock with MotoACTV_Root_Tool_2.0.1.

2. Updated the watch through Motorola.

3. "Flash boot image and root" with the tool.

4. Installed the exporter as described on the first page.

Basically just started over. I didn't add my wifi info or go through any of the setup until after step 4. Maybe I selected language, time, etc., I don't remember.

Awesome, thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] dclutter1:
I've got a couple more questions.

1. Before I did anything to this device it would turn off the backlight during a workout but leave the screen on. It was still easily readable in the daytime. Now the only option that I see that looks like it may be related is screen timeout in the battery saver menu. With that option selected though, the screen turns all the way off, not just the backlight. When it's not selected, the backlight stays on the whole time.

2. Motorola update keeps telling me that 1.7.10.n8 is the latest firmware. I could swear I had something later than that before.

3. When you guys end a workout does the exporter app automatically turn on wifi and begin trying to upload to dropbox or whatever you've got selected? I seem to have to go into the Exporter menu and click on an "Enable Wifi" prompt.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
1.7.10 and 1.7.12 are the same, software-wise. They're just numbered differently due to the past golf-software split. But both now contain golf and are identical.
[Other SmartWatches] dclutter1:
Ok, I thought I may have seen that somewhere but I wasn't sure, thanks for pointing it out. I was hoping that was what was causing the difference in screen backlight behavior :(
[Other SmartWatches] dclutter1:
Not sure what was going on here. It's working as expected now. Probably just needed a restart.
[Other SmartWatches] engmex:
Sometimes it's automatic, but on other occasions I have to go into the Exporter menu and click on an "Enable Wifi and export manually.
[Other SmartWatches] dclutter1:
Ok, good to know. Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] BlueWRXPride:
Of the three files posted in the first post, which do I need to use to install this? Do I need to install the first 2 apks separately?
[Other SmartWatches] dclutter1:
You want to extract the one from the zip file and install that. That's 1.11 which is the latest version. The other exporter apk attached to the OP is an earlier version.

After that, install settings apk.
[Other SmartWatches] BlueWRXPride:
Thanks, I'll be installing this tonight!

As a side question for superdave, since you seem to be pretty skilled in adding features to the stock motoactv software, have you ever thought about adding the ability to sync podcasts over wifi and get new episodes, instead of relying on hooking up to a computer and syncing through itunes? Would this even be possible?
[Other SmartWatches] dclutter1:
It looks like Superdave hasn't returned to this thread in quite a while so I wouldn't expect an answer on that. However, if you look around in some of the other full rom threads, you might find some ideas for syncing music, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] cam1john:
So I've a rooted Galaxy Nexus, both the app on the Nexus and the Pairing tool on the PC. I've read the guide exactly as it's stated, and when I plug in my controller, it finds it, but the update button is greyed out. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, removing drivers, rebooting the computer, etc...and the update button will not become available.

Any experience with this? Thanks

Samsung Galaxy S3 Prefix Series

$24.95

Price indicates a lower level of protection compared to commuter/defender?

Should it be the equivalent of the trident aegis?

The aegis is in between the commuter and defender. This looks decent though, I'll probably grab one.

Looks nice but u can get a commuter for around the same cost off Amazon. I have the commuter and I liked it but I just bumped up to the defender this past weekend. No I'm even happier :D

just judging from the pictures it doesn't look like this one would couple well with any glass screen protectors, and I use SGP's protector so I'm outta luck here, it seems like exactly what I want though, as I've come to nearly hate the commuter series, because of it's annoying side buttons
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rubenstein:
Hi

I just updated my Galaxy S to CM9. Now, my network provider (bob, Austria) isn't showing anymore (it did show on Darky's rom before)

bob is a VMNO which operates in the A1 network. A1 is showing, and so are 3 others, among them "one" which was bought by Orange about 4-5 years ago and doesn't exist no more. My guess is that there is some old list in the firmware somewhere which lists those providers.

Anyway, does anybody have an idea how I can get bob back? I worked on this problem for 4-5 hours now and even edited the spn-conf.xml file, but this may only help the roaming problem with VMNOs. So far, I have no more ideas... If you can't help I have to ditch CM9 again which is unfortunate as I like it so far...

I opened a new thread as I found users from other ROMs had the same problems.

EDIT: maybe I should claryfy this a bit. All I want is that my phone reads the SIM on CM9 and that it shows "bob" instead of "A1". I don't want my phone to do "national roaming".
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groksteady:
Try flashing one one of the Nexus S modems KF1 or KB3. There's a thread for it by pwneman in the i9000 dev forum, and I recently posted a link to it in a thread in the Q&A forum here. It's under a topic about national roaming.

I'm on my phone right now, so it's a pain to find/post the links.

EDIT: Wait -- I was on Bob for a while, and as I remember it on ICS, my provider showed as A1 (this was on Slim Bean and AOKP). This is at least on the notifications page and lockscreen -- I didn't really go into the network providers settings page after setup, and don't recall what it was there. Did you try "Automatically register on network" in that settings page?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rubenstein:
I did automatically reagister on network. It might be ok and it's just showing A1, but it's a bad feeling... I sent a text yesterday and it was free, so I'd guess it's ok, but once it is not I might pay a lot for roaming... If it's showing bob, then I could be sure.
