If the zip worked for you, go that route again for sure! That cable appears correct, I know the same one does work for the Kindle also.

When you downloaded the root tool, did you get ant errors or antivirus warnings? Something isn't right, it should have worked perfectly. 14k downloads don't lie lol.

Edit: since you'll only be able to boot into fastboot, you'll need to open the EU zip and manually flash the img files. You can use the image flasher for that if you desire. :P

Factory cable also only allows you to flash (computer), so when you're done flashing, plug it into a wall outlet. :)

And for some reason, the actv can tell the difference even when turned off as to where it's plugged in.

Cheers Cant remember the exact issue, was in "blind panic mode" . So I use ClearD, (yours :)) Motoactive Image flasher, extract "MA_1710_8GB_EU.zip" into the Image folder ( or is that the Images/Custom folder?). The img files within that zip are preinstall, boot and system. Once is fastboot ( hopefully forced by the factory lead) hit the "Flash" button ... is that t?

Also so place say you can use the lead to "force charge" .. have you any experience of this and if so how do I do it?

Thanks for your great help .
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
I'm not aware of any force charging with it, in fact I was told the opposite, because you can't charge in fastboot at all lol.

Place the images in the first location and it should work. If not, try the second lol.

Full wipe before you flash. :)

cheers,

Cable received got into fast boot and followed the instruction putting preinstall.img,boot,img & system.img in both the Image foler and just in case the image/cutom directory.

Tried it and guess what.... PC lock up part way through, but before that it did say it could not find recovery.img.... do I need this and where do I get it.. :( However plugged watch into mains charger and the large battery symbol came up show 0% , now at 40%... so just going to leave until fully charged before seeing what its actually done. But something has worked as it recognizes the main charger now. Will wait and see if it worked , before trying different PC before trying again as it may be a PC issue that has caused the initial problem.

EDIT: - fully charged, rebooted and back to EU stock (Phew!)...Will leave for now and maybe when my confidence is a bit higher will try and root and change ROM another day ( form a different PC) ... Just last question, now I have factory lead is it best to use that for any future rooting etc?.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
No, only use that one when you need out of a jam. Keep it labeled and separate, as the internal wiring of that one is not standard and might break other devices.

And that's excellent news, you un bricked on my birthday. ;)

Well done, and continue with confidence! You now have all the tools you need to unbrick.

Happy Birthday, hope you have a good one....
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Thank you!

Also, don't worry about the recovery image error. It just searches for all of them, and errors if it doesn't find one, then continues onto the next one. :) Since you didn't include a recovery image, it couldn't find it, and moved to the next image to flash.

[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
A belated happy birthday, ClearD. Have you any success at finding another source of the default clockfaces?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
You're stock now... There shouldn't be any issues at all. That's weird. Are you sure your unit is an 8gb EU model and not a US model that was shipped over?

And still working on the digital clock faces files, will let you know. Day off today, so won't have access again until tomorrow.

[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
ClearD let me know when you find them. They must be in the firmware, somewhere.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
It looks like it's in Launcher2.apk, and it'll need decompiled before you can read the xml. I found the clock bits in there, and a few XML files as well, in the layout folders. :)

Also, if you guys could, you might want to vote here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1660354&page=891 for our own subforum for the actv. That way, we don't have to keep cluttering up this forum.

Root Tool 16GB

ClearD, I download the Root Tool in order to return to stock but the only stock images I see are for the 8GB model and I have the 16GB model. Will this have any negative impact on me returning to stock?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
The digital clocks are in Launcher2.apk, and the analog ones are in /system/clockfaces. Those 2 are the only locations I'm aware of for anything clock related. :P

It shouldn't, but there's also the 16Gb images from CEnnis91's thread if you need them. :)

Autodim feature

Loving the development of the MotoActv. Many thanks for all the hard work by you smart folk. This device has almost everything (apart from a better battery life and waterproofing). One thing I'd love to do to improve the battery and general useability is have the ability to timeout the screen backlight but not the actual LCD so I would have a constant low drain watchface.

Ideally, the watch would go to a custom screen brightness on screen touch or button press (say 50%) and then have the option to dim to zero (rather than the entire screen off) after 15 seconds. I've looked around and seen that some have tried to combine rootdim and keepscreen without success. Has anyone solved this?

Another superb feature would be a widget or menu button to switch straight back to the Actv watch face. I'm not asking anyone to provide these features as I think that you all do plenty in supporting this device as it is, and I thank you for it. It's just a dream list on the off chance that someone smarter than me thinks that they would be ace features, too :o)

Best wishes all and keep up the great work.

I use twisted home to get back to actv watchface. It needs 2 presses but works well.

And have zeam launcher as default launcher so 2 presses om power off button take me to zeam.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
If you're using cleardroid rom or DPRom (and possibly others), the functionality is built in. Make sure you don't select a default home ever. Then when you want to switch, just double tap power button.

MotoACTV Launcer Switching

Thanks for the replies on switching from Zeam back to stock launcher. I Know a power button double tap and then on screen selection works well but is a little cumbersome. A home screen widget or menu button would be ideal. Home Switcher / Manager (Twisted Apps) looks good but a bit much when the power double press works at present.

I've also been researching how to remap a long press button. MotoACTV Easy Modder is great for single press remaps. What I would like is for a short press of the music button to bring up the stock music app and for a long button press to access the app drawer. currently, a short press accesses the app drawer and a long press brings up the keypad. Even changing the keypad to the music app would be cool.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Wait... A long press brings up the keypad? I did not know this. Neat. :)

MotoACTV Stock Background Wallpaper Location

I'm using the latest ClearDroid ROM (very good it is, too) and was wondering if anyone could tell me where the stock background image is located. Much as I appreciate the ClearDroid branding, I quite fancied having a play with alternative wallpapers. Anyone?
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
The crosshatched background is an image in Launcher2. Perhaps you would want to use an app to select wallpaper. I believe there are posts for that in this thread, or the main Motoactv one.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Yeah, it's baked into the apk as ron mentioned. Not as easy as it should be. However, if you load Gallery3D.apk from a CM7 build, you should be able to change it with that. :)

Absolutely correct.
[Other SmartWatches] Zebede:
Thanks for the advice. I've found a copy here for anyone else who may be interested) and will give it a try.

Update#1

This didn't work on the ClearDroid branded wallpaper but instead changed the Zeam launcher wallpaper. Oh well. (I really wish it wasn't branded, but then I didn't do the work to make it possible in the first place). Thanks anyway.

Update#2

As a further update, I found your launcher2-signed.zip from an earlier post in this thread and used as you've both worked on this before. Cheers, it's done the trick and removed the background all together (or replaced it with a plain black one)
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
You are welcome. I replaced the background by an all black .png file.

ClearD have you read my last post in the custom watchfaces thread, and could you provide some assistance?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Just saw it, but made a discovery last night that'll make everything easier for us. I posted it there. I'm not positive that my clock face files were ever being read from the /system partition at all. :p

[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
ClearD installed your latest ROM, my launcher, and used root only. With your latest moto tool how do I install my .apk files?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
System or non-system apks?

System ones generally need flashed, and non system, open an adb prompt and type:

adb install apkname.apk
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
I suppose I need to hit the adb shell button on your tool, ClearD? These are non system apps
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Should be a button to open an adb command prompt, use that one :) Or you could always use Jay's easy modder script, from the wiki.
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
ClearD I adked because the adb prompt button opened this morning butvdid not execute adb commands. I was able to install my apk files this evening. I will be trying to mod either the sense4 or cell xml files.

[Other SmartWatches] Lizards:
You could always open a command promp and cd to the folder you have it extracted to and then adb install app.apk

Can you sideload from sd card? And it won't let you boot into fastboot either?

I'm gonna say redownload the root tool, charge the device to 100%, boot into fastboot, and return to stock with root tool; then root and begin again. Painstaking process, but I've lost count of how many times I've done it now. :p
[Other SmartWatches] mtvdeo:
It lets me boot into fastboot but none of my two PCs recognize that a device is connected.

Can't you find the .apk files of the apps you want transfer them to the actv and install them?

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

ClearD you are not getting my point no doubt phrased unclearly. I can move the hours field but the default seems to be left justified. When you hit 10 11 and 12 the hours and minutes fields overlap. How do I change the setting tontight justified so the unit hours do not move just increment? I want a display similar to that of big digits.
[Other SmartWatches] mtvdeo:
the actv has no file manager, google play is not installed, and adb isn't working 'cause PC doesn't see device (only sees it as a storage device), so I guess there is no way to install .apk files
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
If you change it to 24 hour, it should work. I could have sworn I saw a setting for that... Ah, here it is.

<!--alignment when enabling animation support-->
<alignment>right</alignment>
<font>timeburner_regular</font>
<!--Hour settings-->

That says it's for use for animated ones, but I'm not positive it won't work without animation turned on. Who knows, it might look neater with animation. I'm gonna go try that now actually. Lol.

Redownload the root tool and use a different PC. That sounds more like a pc driver issue than anything. I assume you've restarted both the actv and the pc multiple times, and redownloaded and ran the motocast software?
[Other SmartWatches] mtvdeo:
yes to all. It must be a driver issue but it is so painful!

another guess would be that there is no debugging option on the device so adb does't see it. But I can't turn it on becuase there is no way to do so.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Make sure you keep it charged to 100% as much as you can until you fix it. That's a must. Try a different PC as soon as possible. Also, some antivirus' don't like my root tool. They don't like the "root" part. -.-
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
ClearD thanks for trying it out. I do not want 24 hour time, but that would not have a moving hours field.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Yeah, just tried it and restarted the watch. It works, and it's right justified, but it's... odd looking. It forced the red boxes as the clock face, and forced a white "pm" to the bottom of the face. I'm restarting one more time to check if it changes... It does animate though, rolling the numbers down from the top. Not like a flip clock should, but sort of like the numbers are falling from the top of the screen. And after second restart, it isn't any better. It just looks goofy.

EDIT: Just made a second version, adding seconds onto the home screen in small lettering. Let's see if this works... if it does, I'll tweak it to make it pretty.

Edit 2: Well, the seconds work. They're red though, despite me having them set to white. They're moving around on the screen when I change their X,Y, so that's good. I'm still not sure how to align the hours though. My solution was to leave it on 24 hour, and since I work for 911, it's second nature to me anyways.
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
ClearD thanks for making multiple attempts. I do not need the animation so I wonder if the commands should be independent of animation. When I am back my laptop I will upload my clock file in a zip(withon a hour+)
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
Here is my latest xml file
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
It looks alright, you've got the steps and calories disabled. Does it work? I don't see any bracket errors or anything. To test, place it in the appropriate folder on /sdcard/clockfaces and then turn the watch off, then back on, then select a different clock face, then select that clock face back again. :)
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
Yes it does work in the sense that the fields I want turned off are. Since the hours field is left justified, the hours and minutes overlap at 10 11 and 12 is there a way to make it right justified without the animation?
[Other SmartWatches] mtvdeo:
I had no luck.

I have already figured out what it is... debugging mode is off in this rom, that's why adb and fastboot doesn't see it and it just connects as storage device. So..I guess I'm stuck with this rom, unless someone can figure out how to manually get into recovery.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
That shouldn't affect fastboot at all. Fastboot is in the bootloader, not the rom. Are you holding start + power? Is it an older bootloader where you hold volume down + power?

EDIT: Also, did you update your device to the latest version in motocast when it was stock? Is your bootloader version 3.14?
[Other SmartWatches] mtvdeo:
Start + power and volume down + power both work.

Edit: I just get into it by pressing both start and volume down and power at the same time. But start plus power does not work (maybe because my start button is broken lol).

Edit 2; bootloader is 03.14
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Should only be volume down + power to fastboot, assuming you're bootloader 3.14; And it has to say "fastboot mode" at the top of the screen in that mode. Does it?

Also, between these troubleshooting steps, keep it charging.
[Other SmartWatches] mtvdeo:
Doesnt say fastboot. Only bootloader version. That is weird, right?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Not weird at all, and completely explains why you're not getting fastboot. You're not in fastboot mode, only bootloader mode. Depending on the buttons pressed, the actv has 2 boot modes.

To get fastboot, if it's version 3.14, turn off the device, then hold volume down, and press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds, then release the power button while still holding volume down until it boots into fastboot.
[Other SmartWatches] mtvdeo:
Omg i'm stupid. Just fixed it! I was in a bootloader mode but not fastboot.

Thanks for your help!
