Text notifications work when synced to the phone app... caller I'd only works on most when you plug a wired headset to the motoactv. The motoactv apk does not work with gtalk and similar as far as I know. In order for the apk to work on your gnex need to find a hacked apk

Good job, the update is looking great. I will be releasing a newer version of my batch script later tonight. Unless we have any major developments, it will probably be my last update since ClearD is making great progress, and I don't have as much time as before since classes started.

The latest version will ditch SuperOneClick and manually root the device and install busybox, install the custom recovery, adds reboot into recovery under tools menu, and fixes a few typos.

If you're rooted, you can either run jay's flash-recovery script, or just re-root, which won't hurt a thing either. No need to unroot, but if you do, be sure to make a backup first.

Is there a hacked apk available? If so where could I find it?

Thanks!

Has anyone tried to install a settings.apk from a standard android install to replace the moto one to get standard settings? Or am I asking for trouble here :p

Dunno if this is a bug: Installed recovery via Jay/ClearD Motoactv tool, rebooted, poked around, rebooted (via ADB stop) to remount and add a zip.....and then nothing. No backlight, no splash logo, charge light on when plugged into PC but light off when plugged into charger. Held Power for 3, 5, 10, 20 seconds. Power + Vol down. Power + Vol up. Power + Start....and finally Power + Music (which finally booted up).

Weird.

anyway, re-installed Gapps (CM7 package) but no deal. still force closes. Mount SD via recovery didnt work either. I had to ADB push the file.

Off topic: My Motoactv was properly installed on 2 PC's (driver wise)and would properly mount when ADB was stopped but now my laptop wont install the Motoactv (fails to find the drivers to install...even tho it was working prior).

Annoying.

    CWMR ported

    Hello,

    I have ported CWMR 5.0.2.7 to the Motoactv (F100) device.

    actvcmwr.png


    Code: 
    #include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/

    The procedure for this is as follows. You MUST have working adb knowledge to use this and you must be able to restore using the available tool should any problems arise. This is considered an ALPHA release that may need additional work. I did not have access to the device during the port so all testing was done through TheEndGame7. THERE MAY BE ISSUES, you are warned.

    1) Download this file: CWMR5x_F100_recoveryA.img
    2) adb push CWMR5x_F100_recoveryA.img /data/local/
    3) adb shell (become root)
    4) dd if=/data/local/CWMR5x_F100_recoveryA.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p13
    5) exit adb from the device
    6) adb reboot recovery (you should be in CWMR now)


    The source for the device config is here. Please feel free to go wild with development on this because I do not have the device and likely won't be contributing much more except bug fixes. If you use this source, please give credit where it's due.

    NOTE: there are missing images(known). This is because the ramdisk is EXTREMELY finicky on this device and it WILL NOT BOOT past 3.66mb in size. I trimmed out things that weren't needed in order to make this work. The basic functionality you need should be there. adb is also not functioning properly yet within recovery.

    ramdisk config:

    device config:

    Well, it was a *****, but here is build 2, moving to Beta at this point in 'Moto red' by request of TEG.

    ayu6vRFV


    There is 1 lingering issue: usb support in recovery. It is a bastard, going to really have to tear this thing apart to debug why. Right now, recovery can backup, restore, wipe, flash roms, etc. All the stuff you're used to working, now does. I fixed images by shrinking the kernel to fit more stuff in here. You should no longer get any weird image errors. I bumped you up to 5.0.2.8 source as well.

    Flash this file the same as before via adb and dd.
    CWMR5x_F100_recoveryB.img

    adb push CWMR5x_F100_recoveryB.img /data/local/
    adb shell
    # dd if=/data/local/CWMR5x_F100_recoveryB.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p13
    # exit
    adb reboot recovery

    Some additional notes I'd like to share that might help you as you mess with this device now that I've played with one.

    1) NEVER use adb reboot bootloader for any reason. You get stuck in a ****tily programmed loop of hell. The way out of this loop is by following these instructions:

    a) hold START, POWER, VOL UP, VOL DOWN together for 10 seconds at least. You should see the screen flicker on and off twice.
    b) plug in the USB cable to turn device on
    c) you should boot back to rom, if not, do it again. It's touchy.

    2) The 'soft' reset is done by START + POWER for 5 seconds.

    Enjoy. Source is updated. This will likely be the last update unless I get adb working.

    - Run Custom Fastboot commands

    v0.8 Updated 1/12/12
    - Fixed a few errors
    - Made ADB pause until a device is detected before continuing
    - New method of button remapping (DELETE "Keypads" folder from previous version)
    - Cleaned code

    v0.6 Updated 01/09/12
    - Backup
    - Now supports multiple images
    - Restore / Flash
    - Flash Custom Boot.img

    - Restore (System.img and Userdata.img)
    - Remap Buttons (7 different configurations)
    - Install Launcher (Honeycomb and Zeam)
    - Replace Stock PackageInstaller.apk with one from CyanogenMod
    - Remove MotoCRAP (Strip '/system/app')
    - Restart MotoACTV
    - Stop ADB (Enables MotoSync and Mass Storage)

    Future Plans:
