They're... touchy. At the least.

Basically, I believe you can sideload them, by installing them through ADB, however I can't get one to actually flash WITH the rom itself. A rom would do no good for you guys if you have to plug into your pc to sideload a launcher just to make it work. :)

The rest of it works, I believe. Google maps + supporting files, flick wrist to turn device on (even with another launcher), etc. Just need to make one work... I've tried 2 versions of ADW, and Zeam so far. Neither wants to boot properly.

Not that we're aware of yet :( That's pretty much the holy grail at this point in time lol. Well, that and a working launcher for 5.6.0...

What do you mean no working launcher? Launcher pro works fine here.

Edit: never mind, I didn't see your last post about a working launcher with flash.

Okay so working with my GTablet and Skyrocket, I'm used to mounting SD card from Recovery to transfer the .zip file to the device...
What is the best way to transfer the 5.6.zip file to my Motoactv? I tried to do this after I wiped cache and wiped user data and realized that it didn't mount usb storage. Is there an easy way to do this from within recovery menu?
Please let me know.
Thanks

*edit* Nevermind, figured out if I just reboot and stop adb, I can transfer the file quite easily.

I thought you meant launchers in general. I understand if you can't put one in the ROM that's no big deal to side load our own.

Hi

I'd like to know if those who have rooted the device have been able to install Google's MyTracks software and if it works and most importantly if it's able to connect to an ANT+ device.

Thanks!

    Rooting and updating your MotoActv is about to get significantly easier! No more waiting games for developers to update their ROMs or tools when Motorola pushes a new OTA; now you can do it yourself! I honestly have not seen these types of files ANYWHERE else, so I had to create these myself (with quite a bit of help from [mbm]). But enough blabbing, here are the files and how to use them:

    (Note: all these methods assume we have full fastboot access! -- Which we still have at this point)

    - Stock Images:
    These are not just mere update.zips that you might be accustomed to elsewhere in Android. Nor are these mere fxzs that you might be accustomed to elsewhere with newer Motorola devices. They are in fact both and more. There are 3 main ways to flash these files onto your device, giving you options based on what OS you run and how comfortable you are flashing files to your device.

    1) FXZ:
    - Operating System: Windows
    - Requires: RSD Lite with FXZ Support
    - Instructions: Simply load up the file as any standard fxz (it is very straight-forward)

    2) Recovery:
    - Operating System: Anything that can mount your device
    - Requires: The ability to get into recovery
    - Instructions: Place the file on the sdcard, boot into recovery, flash as normal
    - Note: Recovery does not wipe your device, it is suggested that you do so before flashing stock images

    3) Fastboot:
    - Operating System: Windows/Linux/Mac
    - Instructions (Windows): Unpack the zip, run flash-all.bat (if it fails, run as administrator)
    - Instructions (Linux/Mac): Unpack the zip, run flash-all.sh (it should already have proper permissions)


    Miscellaneous Images:
    These miscellaneous images are nothing you haven't seen before at this point, but their purposes are new, so they too require explanation.

    1) AnyRoot:
    AnyRoot is based on koush's AnyKernel in the sense that it unpacks and repacks the boot.img on the fly. However, as the name suggests, AnyKernel is meant for kernels, while AnyRoot, actually roots the device on the fly. This will work on any MotoActv device. It is flashed as a normal update.zip and everything is done in the background so you won't noticed much. However, for ease of access, the stock and rooted boot.img is exported to your sdcard in /sdcard/recovery/. Also note, that if you happen to flash AnyRoot over an already rooted device, nothing will happen as it has built-in error checking.

    2) rebootRecovery:
    rebootRecovery is another fxz type zip, the same as the stock and rooted images, except it can't be flashed in recovery (would be a little redundant don't you think?). This flashes a specially made misc.img by [mbm] that tells the device to reboot into recovery from boot. This means you can flash AnyRoot on any stock device.


    How Tos / FAQs:
    Now that you know what the files do, I can explain in short steps how to use these files to get what you want:

    1) How to Return the Device to Stock?
    - flash a stock image using any of the 3 methods
    - you can now update via Motocast if you so wish

    2) How to Root a Stock Device?
    - update your device via Motocast to the latest version (suggested)
    - place AnyRoot on your sdcard
    - boot into fastboot, and flash rebootRecovery using either of the 2 methods
    - flash AnyRoot in recovery
    - reboot

    3) How do I update my Rooted Device?
    - flash a stock image using any of the 3 methods
    - update your device via Motocast to the latest version
    - place AnyRoot on your sdcard
    - boot into fastboot, and flash rebootRecovery using either of the 2 methods
    - flash AnyRoot in recovery
    - reboot

    Q: After using rebootRecovery I can't get out of recovery!?
    A: You are using an old recovery that doesn't clear the 'reboot-recovery' command; use the newer recovery: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5849675/android/f100/CWMR5x_F100_recoveryB2.img

    Q: What do these ROM offer over other custom ROMs?
    A: Nothing, they are simply stock images, but you can upgrade with them.

    Q: How much battery should I have when I flash?
    A: Performing any kind of these flashes will drain at least 10% of your battery, I wouldn't suggest you flash below 60% ESPECIALLY IF YOU FLASH rebootRecovery!

    Q: What happens if I flash a 16gb zip on my 8gb or visa-versa?
    A: Don't freak, it will still boot, but it's not the best thing in the world to do, just go back and flash the correct model zip.

    Q: Can I extract the images from your zips and flash them my own way?
    A: yep (couldn't really think of anything else to say)

    Q: I manually flashed the stock-boot.img from AnyRoot, and now I can't update. Why?!
    A: The boot.imgs need to be truncated before they can be flashed to correctly work with Motorola's updates, just use the stock images.

    Q: What's next?
    A: HyprActv -- What's this?

    The 4.55.97 files are up for real this time (no one really needs 4.55.78 at this point), sorry for the delay, thanks for all the help, and enjoy. =)

    Yes it is deeper. You would need an app on the iPhone and an app on the motoactv. Writing the app is not the problem. Getting a complete implementation of blues on the motoactv is.

    And like I said, I can write the iPhone app and maybe the android app but the blues install / implementation is way over my head.

    Click to collapse

    I have been heavily working on the bluetooth stack in MotoACTV. The blues stack supports low energy devices. The BT hardware chipset supports v4.0 LE devices. This was all confirmed via JTAGing the watch. I am in the final stages of modifying the stack to support the following profiles:

    - DUN
    - PAN
    - HID INPUT
    - SINK
    - AUTO

    with no restrictions whatsoever.

    Tested a BT mouse and keyboard, worked perfectly.

    Once this is done and posted, I will start working on getting USB HOST & OTG support enabled on MotoACTV as well.

    Will be working on this tonight. I just found out how to make the flash script clear cache and dalvik for you, pre-install. That'll probably save some headache, but it works only in edify format. Not sure what the stock recovery uses...

    Anyways, I'm home! :)

    All recoveries will now use edify, amend is old and depreciated, you will only find that on old devices.
