WORKFLOW
1. Root the MotoACTV as per Powers88's nice
little writeup on
page 12 of this thread.
2. Download Jay4255's awesome script
MotoACTV Easy Modder Script.
3. Backup System and User Data via Easy Modder Script. (Backup [1] > Backup System and Userdata [3])
4. Install GOLauncher and Dropbox using the Easy Modder Script (Mods [3] > Install Custom APK [4]).
GOLauncher has pretty awesome page / app drawer transitions as well. Dropbox lets you install APKs in your sleep.
5. Replace PackageInstaller.apk (Mods [3] > Replace PackageInstaller [3])
6. Map [Music ] Button as [Home] Button -> Set default action for Music/Home button as GoLauncher.
7. Install AnyCut through Dropbox.
(Sign up for Dropbox account, Install dropbox on your PC. Sign into Dropbox on your PC and MotoACTV. Any file you put into the Dropbox folders on your PC/Mac would be accessible on your MotoACTV. Open up APK files in Dropbox on your MotoACTV to install APKs)
8. Create shortcut to advanced WiFi Settings with AnyCut.
I'm such a retard. Going through AnyCut (Hold empty position on home screen, create Shortcut > Any Cut > Activity > [option]), I noticed that there were about 34 different [Settings] options all named [Settings]. So it was a bit of trial and error to figure out which one does what. I mapped out all 34 setting options on a spreadsheet and forgot to save it. Anyways, the one you want to map would be the second [Settings] option from the top as this one allows you to manage and add WiFi networks.
9. Install Button Savior APK so that I can have access to the [menu] button when and as needed.
10. Here on out I installed all the other APKs as needed. Waze is an interesting one as it does crowd sourced Turn-by-Turn GPS navigation with Text to Speech. It worked out pretty well when I needed to find a starbucks.
MOTOACTV LAUNCHER
I've noticed that for some reason, when my MotoACTV starts up it goes straight into GOLauncher, when I try to run the MotoACTV Launcher from the app drawer, it just goes through the MotoACTV Launcher intro then quits (which a lot of you guys are seeing). To jump start the MotoACTV Launcher, since I didn't map the Start button. When I hit the start button, it launchers the MotoACTV "Workout" screen. I hit the [back] button once to get out into the MotoACTV Launcher.
Since I've mapped the [Music] button as the [Home] button, to get back to GOLauncher, all I have to do is hit the [Music] button. I've also set swipe gestures on the GOLauncher dock to get back to MotoACTV as well. I can choose to either use the Start Button > Back Button combo or swipe the GOLauncher dock to get back to the MotoACTV Launcher and it's beautiful?! watch face.
INSTALL TO SD CARD
You'll find that you will run out of space on the data partition pretty quickly. To fix this you might want to install some of your apps onto the SD Card partition instead. You would need to go to command prompt and navigate to the ADB folder included in Jay's awesome Easy Modder Script then run the following command:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
if you want to revert to installing it on the data partition simply use the following command:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0
UNINSTALLING APKs
Is your device getting a bit bloated through trying out the possibility of the MotoACTV? With AnyCut, you can create an Activity Shortcut to [Manage Applications] to manage your applications. (Thanks Jay)
