I did a real world test today to see how it impacted battery life with lower usage at 1000mhz. It drains slightly faster I guess, but only by a matter of like 2-3% more. But it will be more noticeable if you stress the device I would think (haven't tested that yet)

Any recommendations on an app to control the frequencies? I'm using setcpu now (2.2.4 or something). It works fine for the most part, except the "set at boot" option doesn't actually function. As it sits when I boot the watch it's already at 1000mhz. Any ideas?

Thanks again man, this thing is pimp at 1000mhz.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Yes, the true/false thing SHOULD work, but this was also the same xml sheet that I couldn't use to change the color of the font. So, I'm not 100% sure it'll work. And the latest rom is 1.1.7 H, which was just made public, and it should include both of those clock faces. :)

I'm using setcpu, but I had to re-root after installing it. I'm still not sure why the stock rom isn't showing as rooted. Gotta be a permissions issue.
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
Speedyink, you want to make more change above and beyond what the script did? Doesn't setcpu require root?

ClearD I flashed a version of that ROM which you provided a link to. Should I flash the newer one then flash my launcher?
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Thanks for the quick reply. Not having any issues with root permissions, but just setting a cpu frequency to boot at. I'd rather it start at 600mhz, so that it only runs at 1000mhz when I want it to. Not that it's really a big deal, it doesn't seem to impact battery much at all in every day usage...Hmmmm, maybe I'll just leave it at 1000mhz =P

No the script worked great. I'm just curious if there's a better app than setcpu for our device since the set on boot option doesn't work. Yes, any cpu overclocking app will require root.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Yes indeed, flash your launcher on top of the rom.

I keep mine using the "ondemand" profile, with the range of 300 - 1000 Mhz. It starts low, then uses 1ghz whenever it needs to. :)
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Awesome man, thanks for the tip!
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
I compiled a kernel that goes as low as 150 Mhz, instead of the minimum 300 Mhz from the stock kernel. Will post if there's any interest.

Also compiled a conservative module, but i didn't have time to test it.
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
Can that go into ClearD's next ROM update?

---------- Post added at 07:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ----------

ClearD I will wipe data factory reset flash both zip files reinstall the apps and reroot. Then I will try to see if I can get your clockfaces up. As to the overclocking the script has to be run before using SetCpu?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Yes indeed

[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Interested!
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Yes please! Does the kernel require your overclocking module, or is it standalone?

[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Was playing around with the clock speeds, I'm very surprised at how well this thing runs at 300mhz! I could keep it there all day and not have any issues as long as I didn't play intensive games. It's a little slower to react, but it certainly doesn't slow to a crawl.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
I tried to add a 5th value to it yesterday and soft bricked my actv lol. Had to return to stock and start over. x)

And then I read somewhere that our processor can only handle 4 speeds or something?

[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
ClearD did all the flashing and reinstalling. Lost root as usual, but see no problems with the minimal checking I had time to do. I will check out some apps when I am at a WiFi hotspot. Did your Launcher2 I based mine on have any clockface.xml files in it? I will look at the installed clockfaces and overclock script tomorrow, no doubt with some questions.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Probably, but I didn't edit those. And feel free, dproldan will probably have to answer the overclocking questions, unless they're basic things and not about the process itself.

So got my motoactv today :D

my main desktop runs windows 8 and my macbook runs 10.8,

is it safer to use one of those operating system to root and flash clearD,

hopefully its fine...:fingers-crossed:
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
You can try win8, but not sure if it'll work or not as I'm using 7 lol.

Windows 8 should work fine, at least it'd be the way to start since all these tools are designed for windows. I can't imagine it not working, I haven't had any issues with windows 8 yet.
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
This is stand alone. Just changed the first slot to 150 Mhz, from 300 Mhz. I haven't noticed any change in speed, because the moment you touch the screen, it jumps to 600Mhz. May be noticeable for sports people if they keep the display on while running, or if you use it for music.

Here's the image if you want to try. Just issue "fastboot flash boot boot_150Mhz.img"

here's the link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxTLcy78OveNbmxzRTR5cjhtems/edit?usp=sharing

To make this, use the kernel sources from Motorola at opensource.motorola.com

Just needed to change this table in

{S1200M, VDD1_OPP5, 0x3E, 0x0},

};

and in kernel/omap3/arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap3-opp.h

static struct omap_opp omap3630_mpu_rate_table[] = {

ClearD you mean the Mod4 sign zip file aboit 6.9 Mb? What is it since I presume I should not install this on my Motoactv?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
It's actually made for the 8g model, and I want someone with a 16g to test it, but it's got a few mods, such as the clock faces, and the grey bar in the notification pulldown removed. I can't remember the rest. Just a few things that are already included in the full Rom.

I'm trying to figure out what changed between the 16g and 8g versions that would make a rom work for one, but not the other.
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
ClearD I will just extract and install cell before I modify it. I need to copy the entire cell subdirectory to/system/clockfaces?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
That's correct, I believe. Then permission it to 644, if I'm not mistaken.
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
How do I change permissions? I can only see the subdirectory in the ez file manager not via Windows.

Edit I see how the file manager changes permissions. Also sense4 and cell are in that subdirectory but cannot be selected. Any suggestions?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
In windows, open an adb command prompt. Type the following:

adb remount
adb shell chmod 644 /system/clockfaces
adb reboot

unless I missed something, that'll remount your /system partition as read/write, then permission the folder as 644, then reboot your watch to make it effective. Just make sure you're at 100% battery before starting, as I've never had much luck with this thing using adb or any file editors, only with flashing.

Root Tool 2.0.0

Just made a new root tool update; how's this look for root tool 2.0.0?

Edit: Just realized I made a mistake with the flash boot only button. It was giving options that aren't there. But, it's a big upload, so I'm just gonna let version 2.0.0 upload, then upload a fixed 2.0.1 on tuesday when I get back.

In this update:

-Streamlined rooting (one click root installs boot image, then roots after auto reboot)

-Added stop adb/start USB button (issues adb shell stop adbd command)

-Added adb command prompt button

-Added reboot into recovery button

-Fixed return to rooted stock (boot image issue)

-Was going to delete them entirely, but kept the "flash boot image" and "root only" buttons

New updated build:Download Root Tool Version 2.0.1 Here

-Fixed flash boot only button

You don't need the clockthumbnails folder at all, and you'll need a meta folder to flash it, unless you're just going to push that folder through adb (which should also work), then use

adb shell chmod 644 /system/clockfaces

afterwards to permission the clockfaces folder. So if you unzip that, then place just the clockfaces folder where it can be accessed by adb, use these commands:

adb remount
adb push clockfaces /system
adb shell chmod 644 /system/clockfaces
adb reboot

It should then reboot and the clock face should be visible. :)

You know, I'm not really sure. If someone can get me the software from an I'M build, I could take a look. Even better would be if dproldan or cennis91 or mbm could do it, though.

[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
Aahhh, so it's not just me that experienced this. It was fine for a couple days, but then it frequently started draining to 0. And when I mean 0, it wouldn't even charge until I pressed a random fastboot button combo so it could briefly tell me the battery was too low, and only then it would charge. Scared the CRAP out of me the first time =P. I tried this on two seperate rom flashes and it did it. I thought it was because I'm using DPRom, but I guess not. Oh well, while it certainly improved performance, I can certainly live with it at 600mhz.
