PackageInstaller is a system app, you cannot install it through adb install. Use adb push instead ...

adb remount
adb push PackageInstaller.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/PackageInstaller.apk

Once this guy is rooted and/or rommed, how functional is it in relation to stock?

I use RunKeeper a lot and from all of my Googling, it seems like you can use the MOTOACTV and export/import into RK, but it seems a bit hokey. I can continue to use my phone and it's inherent GPS issues (which aren't terrible) or I could pick up a new MOTOACTV since I'm a geek.

Would I be unsatisfied by a stock MOTOACTV and regret the decision? Would rooting/romming it be the answer? Should I stick with my Evo? LOL

Sound fix after reboot

Anyone have any luck getting this to survive a reboot? I do not leave it on and have to perform this every time i want more volume. let me know. Thanks

Finally found a solution for the low audio volume "problem"!

Attached you'll find a program "amixer", download to a folder in your computer, and with a command line navigate to that folder, then issue these commands:

Code: 
adb remount
adb push amixer /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/amixer

now, if you're using the headphones at this moment, lower the volume to the middle of the scale, I'm not responsible if you break your eardrums or your headphones.
Code: 
adb shell amixer sset 'Headphone Analog' 75 75
adb shell amixer sset 'Headphone LineOut Digital' 228

I will put this in a file that survives reboots after some reporting from you.

Enjoy!

download and extract the attached file and push it to /system/bin/

Code: 
adb remount
adb push loadpreinstalls.sh /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/loadpreinstalls.sh
adb reboot

Check the volume level before turning on the music if you're using headphones! I think if resets the volume everytime you plug/unplug the jack! I'm not responsible if your ears explode.

I'll try to find a safer default setting and make this permanent in the next version of DPRom.

Here is Stock-Launcher from an I'm Watch SmartWatch, based on Adnroid 1.6.
Maybe somebody could port it over to our Motoactv.

Motoactv Golf App

Can you install the golf app from the motoactv on a normal motorola android phone, is there an .apk for the app?


It would be nice to test out the features before spending 200 dollars

Thanks,

I was just wondering how the process is going on.
The MotoACTV portal has been continously annoying me over the last couple of weeks (no elevation data, map is not displaying, unable to process failure). At the moment, I would donate (or kill) for such a tool. ;)

I have good news for stoudamire and anyone else who's been frustrated with the MotoACTV website, but loves the device. I've successfully created a Runkeeper WebApplication which will automatically import workouts from MotoACTV to Runkeeper.

The App is pretty basic at this point, but it gives you a list of your Runkeeper Activities and a list of MotoACTV workouts. Next to each MotoACTV workout is a button that allows you to post it to Runkeeper.

The whole process consists of going to the site, clicking a "connect to Runkeeper" button (allows access via Open Auth2.0 without supplying any credentials to my site). That enables the App in Runkeeper. Unfortunately you must provide MotoACTV login credentials, but they are only stored in an encrypted cookie in your browser.

But it makes pushing workouts to Runkeeper a total snap.

As a bonus, if you become Runkeeper Elite by clicking on the button on my site I will set up my server so it will run a background process to monitor MotoACTV and automatically post any new workouts to Runkeeper.

That's right, without rooting, without doing anything special, within a few minutes of your workout appearing on MotoACTV.com it will also get posted to Runkeeper!

I have a little Apache configuration and firewall testing to finish before I can open up the site to the public, but it will probably be available tomorrow.

Sounds Fantastic!

Looking forward to trying your WebApp it sounds just what me and thousands of other Motoactv users have been waiting for. Especially Mac users such as myself.
I don't suppose you have considered a similar app for Strava importing?

Thanks, Col.

I have published the site: http://redsneaker.us

Or you can find it through Runkeeper Apps:

I hadn't heard of Strava, would definitely consider it. I have been planning on building a similar connector for Nike and possibly Garmin, though porting from Garmin devices isn't as much of a pain. Also I may connect to Endomoto or other front end sites (like Strava) if I get enough response.

Motorola's tech staff told me the Motoactv could never have a vibration alert because of limitations in the hardware platform. In TI spec for the TWL4030 vibration drivers were not specified. I found 285 lines of code to program the TWL4030 to control a vibration engine here: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/input/misc/twl4030-vibra.c

It will still require hardware in terms of a vibrator, that may, or may not fit inside the motoACTV case. For some serious hardware hacking it might be possible to put in a modified wristband.

    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.

    - Cleaned code

    - 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
