I really hate the TNT settings display. So I create an update to replace the Settings.apk and SettingsProvider.apk to change them back to stock Android 2.2. This is a post for anybody that wants to do the same.
Edit:
I have added a rollback update.
Instructions:
download to root of sdcard.
Start tablet while holding volume + and power.
"install zip from scard"
"choose zip from sdcard"

Will this give us access to more settings than TnT? (I'd really like to be able to set a lock pin/pattern and a few other settings to adjust)
Yes. to all the settings. But lock pin/pattern does not seem to work in TNT. Going to research it some more. Also "Auto Brightness" does not work. But everything else seems to work.

I just want to do this to enable wifi location but I will switch back...I like their settings
Auto brightness is working on TnT settings for me, does this break that?
Read this first, please
I've tried to do this a few times -- but, from my experience, two things break:
- Brightness adjustment. Minor, as you can add an Market app or a widget to get around that. But....
- You can't add new widgets or shortcuts on your home screen. This is the one that kept me from changing the Settings apk in TnT Lite.
Not sure if this is fixed on the zip in this thread, as I haven't tested it.
Btw, you can add alternate keyboards if you use a stock Settings apk (ie. wiimote) -- so that's a plus.

I think it could be infinity useful if i can hook up to wpa then roll back to tnt settings. Don't get me wrong.
Just a warning "this will not allow you to put widgets on your screen" would be nice
Keep at it though, I am truly looking forward to a fully featured normal android settings wonder if the zpad settings apk would work?

* Reboot into CWM recovery
* Wipe everything
* Install TnT Lite 2.0 (the update.zip inside gtab_tnt_lite_v2.00.zip) and the 2.1.1 supplement (update.zip inside gtab_tnt_lite_v2.11_suppl.zip) from zip Instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004

* Reboot into CWM recovery
* Install the stock Settings in the OP from zip (hhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9532446&postcount=1 Replace_TNT_Settings.zip)

* Reboot into CWM recovery
* Rollback back to the TnT settings from zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9532446&postcount=1 Rollback_TNT_Settings.zip)
I can now use the various keyboards (including the Tap 'n Tap Western keyboard) and switch between them by long-clicking in a text field and choosing Input Method.
If only this thing had a wider viewing angle I wouldn't have to return it. Sigh.

Hey Roebeet not sure if you meant stock as TnT settings or not.
In case it didn't: Your system setting (from TnT Lite)also allow for wiimote and other alt keyboards. I have it installed both with instruction from here in XDA Gtablet. Just placing them on system/app changing permissions and installing them.

I had read in another forum of phones behaving in similar matter. FCs happening to applications, only by adb pulling and then pushing them back did the FCs go away. It was like a reset in the android OS. Like the settings, these were system apps.
My TNT Settings are still FCing after Removing and Reapplying the TNT. Is this working for anyone else?
The regular Android Settings didn't FC, maybe I'll use that as default and only revert to add widgets.

-option to remove zoom in icons
-option to make landscape browse as default
-double tap if needed
-triple tap delay
-option to hide notification bar
-option to view as android browser, desktop browser and iphone browser

ADW gave me the same problem.
I was able to adb remount since I pushed your clean update
But now I am getting "out of memory" when I try to push the SO files.
So I guess I will have to do the push in restore mode.

Let me know if you can figure out a way to get it running in Sense. I still haven't gotten my Aria (due to show up on Monday), but the lack of wallpapers is the one thing I was disappointed with.
Well I have live wallpapers working on my aria right now in alternate launchers like adw and launcher pro.
Pulled the files from a custom rom that adds live wallpapers for legend then rebuilt them into a rom I'm working on stripped of at&t crap. Did not replace the rosie apk since at this time tha just crashed htc.launcher.
This is a fun little phone.

Hey Bob, did you find a way to fix the non-market apps toggle in settings? I am working on a modified spare parts type deal to do that now, but if you already have a fix, I am all ears. Funny, AT&T didn't like the name Liberty. How fitting that they chose not to use it.
we really should open an IRC channel
The real question is there a way to do Live Wallpapers & Sense at the same time.
I know I am being picky, but I want my tech the way I want my tech.

There is a way since the rom i stole the stuff from was for the legend and Sense its just the version of sense that was in the rom is not compatible with our rom.
I havent even started looking into the Sense APK file yet but figure with live wallpapers working correctly i just got to figure out how to disable normal wallpapers in sense to make them work.

I havent worked at all on the market toggle, i figure since we can sideload the settings.db file and it works its very low on my care list. All i worked on today was stripping out what i didnt like and trying to make a nice clean rom that had all the default files i wanted in it (google voice, pandora, etc..). Just happened to also play with the live wallpapers and found it worked on the way home when i tried a new launcher.

Update file for adding LWP to Aria
6/28/10 - Updated to allow LWP in the Sense UI
* This assumes you have your phone rooted and have access to the Clockwork Mod to allow updating your phone with unsigned zip files *
1.) Put the file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod
4.) install zip from sdcard (option 5)
5.) choose zip from sdcard (option 2)
6.) Click on the file you downloaded and put on your sdcard
6a.) If you run into an error when installing shut off your phone,, unplug it from the USB cable, then reboot it back into Clockwork Mod and start again from step 2
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system
8.) Upon reboot you can now choose Live Wallpaper in the wallpaper options
*Issues*
The only issue that I know of at this time is you have to use the settings/personalize/lock screen wallpaper option in order to change the lockscreen wallpaper
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.
*Files*
Clean install of the LWP packages
Select this if you want to install the LWP on a clean install or install without any LWP
Update install of the LWP packages
Select this if you used the previous version with LauncherPro and Home Switcher. This will remove those packages and update to the Sense Enabled LWP.
Thanks! I just flashed it and it works great. There's Absolutely no loss with performance with it either.

Ok lets see if this works =)
1.) Put the aria-lwp.zip file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod using the rooting methods in the how to root your aria thread
3.) Go to the Partitions Menu and select the first option (mount /system)
4.) Go back to the main menu and choose to install a zip file
5.) Choose the option to install a zip from the SD Card
6.) Click on the aria-lwp.zip file
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system.
8.) Upon reboot the home menu should pop up asking you to choose which home menu to launch. Choose the LauncherPro option.
9.) Go into the wallpaper options and choose your live wallpaper, it should work with no issues.
10.) Set up your new launcher, refer to any Launcher Pro threads for more info on this nice replacement launcher.
At anytime you can use the home switcher program to go back to the HTC Sense launcher if you want to use that instead. Same with setting up which launcher is used by default when you press the home button.
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.

Any chance we'll ever get this working in Sense?
Well, that didn't work.
I am still getting force quit
I might needs to do a clean flash.
Ok, I got stock to run, but I also want to get rid of the lockscreen and make it default as well. Any ideas?
Ok, reflashed with the clean install and it worked.
What is this?
Basically a lite version of Roebeet's TnT Lite. It does not remove the TnT dashboard and applications, so you will still have full use of it. It does install the gtabdev performance pack and gapps. That makes this an speed and usability enhancement for the stock TnT ROM. I will say that with VS's improvements, this is much more usable when I first got my gtablet.
What does this do?
Installs updated nvidia files (~1800->~2400 quadrant)
Installs Gapps, except for calendar and contacts (excluded to maintain dashboard functionality)
Installs Gallery 3D app
Adds wpa supplicant(allows ad hoc connections for tethering)
Adds script to autoinstall Flash (from TnT Lite, not sure how reliable)
Adds build.prop with some tweaks
Adds fix for gsensor in games
Who is this for?
This might be better for the typical user that wants to keep the TnT user interface, but they want it to run as fast and as smooth as possible. Additionally, this will install Gapps and the gingerbread animations.
How do I install this?
1) Requires that you already have a stock TnT 3389 version installed. This does not install a ROM, only modifies it.
2) Extract the downloaded rar to /sdcard. Your sdcard should contain: /sdcard/update.zip and /sdcard/recovery/command. (NOT SDCARD2 aka your external sdcard)
3) Reboot and hold volume+ and power until you see the update start
4) Nothing Changed, Check Here!
Quick Market Fix (Follow Exactly):
1) Run market
2) Open settings->applications->system applications
3) Force close Google Services Framework, then Force Close Market
4) Go back to Google Services Framework, then clear data
5) Run market and confirm you get an error
6) Reboot
7) Wait 2 minutes and try Market to get all applications
8) If this doesn't work, look at the directions again and make sure you follow them exactly

Build.Prop will no longer cause settings to show TnT Lite installed
The links and stock files manager are no longer removed
TapNTap bootanimation is no longer removed (won't uncover nexus one remnants)
Note: 90% of the work was done by Roebeet to make the TnT Lite ROM.
when you say it installs Gapps, does that include the Market?
Thanks rothnic and Roebeet for your hard work and quick production of these important developments.
I think this is exactly what I need prior to giving the gtab to my less-tech, but android-loving parents for Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
PS: I cannot believe how fast and smooth this enhancement pak is. Gapps and apparently market, too! Nice work.
Market is not full, probably needs a fix of some sort.
Could the edited files to allow adhoc networks be added to this?

It's already in there. I scanned rothnic's zip and basically he pulled out most of the app deletes I do (like the Homescreen and TnT apps), but kept everything else like the ad-hoc networking, Development/Spare Parts, busybox and rooted, TSCalibration hack and even the Flash addon on a clean system.
Nice job! I don't see any need to create one of these anymore because rothnic already did the grunt work. I'll even redirect to this link from my 1.0.1 stock enhancement ROM.

Very nice. Definitely seems faster. I am wondering if the battery is draining quicker though. Also, with or without the enhancement pack, I get an FC from com.electricsheep.asi which is invoked from Android System Info.
not to sound ungrateful but is there any way just to install the updated Tegra/OpenGL drivers? the ability to sync the stock calendar program with google services framework (google accounts) is now gone - can sync with 3389 + tegra gapps
agree that the tablet is incredibly fast now but would like the stock calendar sync (this is a business expense!)

This package includes the stock(TnT) calendar and contacts app. It needs them because they are used in the "dashboard". What I think you want is to add the Gapps calendar program.
What this pack does is only install the updated Tegra/OpenGL drivers. It sounds like you want to install TnT Lite, which removes the dashboard, but installs the full google apps suite.

Glad it will help you out, the parents etc is exactly who I was thinking this would help out. Should be useful with Christmas tomorrow, as this makes the stock build very usable. Hopefully eventually TnT will have these performance enhancements stock, out of the box.

Not sure on the keyboards, it will be the same as tnt lite or stock. Performance will be on par with tnt lite. Vegan is a little lighter weight than either, so might feel a little faster.

Just curious if anyone is willing to tackle this little gagdet. It needs some fine tuning and possibly a voodoo sound app would be awesome. It lacks the loudness like most android phones.
It looks interesting, but I would not personally buy it. It does not have enough features for me to use it over my phone.
Sent from my XT862 using XDA App
Well I purchased one and with the help of the other thread about the apk i was able to sync to my epic with all features including the calls/missed calls and acuweather. This was with the corded headset. I have no real reason to get the wireless. The only real problem that i have right now is the sound level of the player. Its very frustrating to have to use a program to up the db level in every song i put on it. It running some kind of android platform so someone has to have some ideas.
Well, it looks like someone has listened... I didn't see a thread anywhere else, so I'll post it here, some one has rooted the motoactv. the story, along with a link to a how to is available, just google it. I was gonna post a link, but I can't.
The Motoactv runs gingerbread. CWM has gained root on it and installed Google apps. It has a decent chip and ram for a small device. The bootloader isn't locked. More and more smart watches and wearable computers will be coming out. I'd like to see a custom launcher for this size screen as QCIF+ ain't exactly great for a lot of launchers. A custom rom that remapped the hardware buttons would be nice as well.
Cheers,

Hi People
I just rooted the MotoACTV with the tutorial provided by Wade, the guy that rooted the watch. But I am having problems installing the ggole apps on it. The guide does not explain very well how to install the gogle apps. I managed to install several apk via adb commands and they work ok. But I am missing the market and every default google ape. Can someone explain how to do this? I already downloaded google apps zip file from cynogen web page.

There are libraries in the unzipped file that need to be installed with the adb push command to get maps to work. The market needs a bunch of crap to work. You should push all the apk (except car home if you don't want it) once you have those over, restart and you download the rest of the apps from market.

This sounds intriguing can you run RunKeeper on the rooted device. I have the motoactv and love it for running but RunKeeper in my opinion is the best running app. Im anxious to hear more about this.
Thanks Dragon, but one more question before I keep trying this market stuff. Do I do the adb push command to the same exact directories as the zip has. Like for example: the zip file that I downloaded was for CM7 and it includes a lot more directories than simply the app directory. Do I have to push every single directory the zip has and create the ones that are missing within the watch. Can you please explain more in detail if possible. Thanks again for the help as this is the only thing I am missing from this "the market".

So, once unzipped you will see "META-INF" and "system" folders.
Inside "system" you will see:
app
etc
framework
lib
inside "app" you will see:
*CarHomeGoogle.apk
*FOTAKill.apk
GenieWidget.apk
Google Maps 5.12.0.apk
GoogleBackupTransport.apk
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleFeedback.apk
GooglePartnerSetup.apk
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
*LatinImeTutorial.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
MediaUploader.apk
NetworkLocation.apk
OneTimeInitializer.apk
*Talk.apk
Vending.apk
(*not really needed on MotoACTV but won't hurt to install)
I am doing this from a Mac using terminal, it has been a richard year since I have used CLI with windows but for Linux the commands will be the same ("dragon$" is just my terminal prompt).
dragon$ adb push ~/Desktop/gapps/system/app/Vending.apk /system/app
dragon$ adb push ~/Desktop/gapps/system/etc/permissions/features.xml /system/etc/permissions/
So, you see I have pushed the files to the corresponding directories that the files are found in the unzipped folders.
I cannot remember if adb push defaults to parent owner and permissions but if not you will have to change them to root/root and RW-R--R--
I followed CMW's guide to root mine, too.

A full custom would be great (but not needed for remapping hardware keys); Motorola's UI is really quite nice for the screen size, but won't show custom apps. Instead of the fake Honeycomb one, I prefer to use Zeam (with the launcher and grid set to 3x3 icons) -- I just think it works much better, without overlapping icons and so on.
To get a shortcut to the wifi access point settings in zeam, press and hold in a blank area, and go to "add", then "shortcuts", then "settings", then "settings" again. This "settings" is the hidden wifi one.
I also remapped "Start" to menu fairly easily by modifying they G2-keypad.kl file under keylayout; nosit1 was able to do the same with music to home. The people in #motoactv on freenode.net are very helpful, including CMW.
More information on that:
/system/usr/keylayout/G2-keypad.kl
Change this line:
key 220 FITNESS WAKE_DROPPED
to this:
key 220 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
On a separate note, you'll want to backup your userdata partition, too. Otherwise, it can get corrupted and make the file loop at the motorola logo:
dd if=/dev/block/userdata of=/sdcard/userdata.img bs=1024
adb pull /sdcard/userdata.img userdata.img
Even when restoring that, there are a ton of force closes from com.motorola.gault.activity; you have to get past them to a custom launcher to factory reset.
@dragon_76
Does anything need to be done with the META_INF folder? I'm attempting to get Market working on my Motoactv but I'm still getting a Google Services Framework force close. I pushed over the gapps from CM6 (the ones under HDPI). Not sure if those were the right ones.
I think I need to factory reset and start over from the beginning. :/

No, that folder is for recovery mode installers.
Amazon app store works perfectly if you can't get Market to work. It takes a fair amount of trial and error with apps to find ones that are functional.
I can't recommend enough installing grafitti pro. I have it from Amazon FAOTD.
I have superuser.apk installed and I had to push my preferences from /data/data/ on my phone to my watch so as to autorespond "yes" to root requests and no notifications because the UI is a fixed size window.
After doing that I installed button saviour and my purchased key for the pro features to have only home and menu onscreen. (Button saviour needs root permission).
I use golauncher ex with 3x3 home screen and the notification bar hidden. I wish I could remove the dock but oh well.
Android is going into more types of devices, I wish Google would push scalable graphics. I am however very impressed with the amount of apps that work usably on a QCIF+ screen (Netflix!)
I also like the main launcher and if I could access an app like AltDrawer from it I would not have another home replacement installed. I will tear apart Launcher2.apk soon and see if there is a way to customize it.

Okay so last night I attempted to root my motoactv but my adb for some reason say it cannot load the root.img, I had the same problem where it's couldn't load the recovery.img for my photon when attempting to apply CWM or twerp recovery. Fastboot devices definitely sees both my devices (no I didn't do them are same time, and the files needed are in the same file location as instructed) and I can even Fastboot reboot and have that work. Any ideas or suggestions?? Any help would be appreciated.

Try downloading a new root image. Also try switching USB ports.

Thanks, wasn't sure about the META-INF folder. Going to try installing button saviour. How did you "push" preferences from your phone to the watch? I have root/su on my Xperia Play so I should have the files there to push?
Did you personally get the Google Apps working?
EDIT: Everything is forceclosing on me. :/ Installed the Stock Browser from my XP but that's forceclosing as well. Attempted to change the permissions of the applications but either it didn't work or it didn't help.
I couldn't figure out how to push preferences, but I was able to tell Superuser to allow all apps after remapping Start to Menu, then just doing Superuser > Menu > preferences. You could always do this to get Superuser working, get Button Savior working, and then revert it back.
(I made a step by step on Pastebin, but if you use Oneroot, it might do all this for you: http://pastebin.com/AZRemesV )

Thanks a lot. Just did a factory reset, figure I'll start from scratch. Did you get the Google Apps working after Superuser was configured? What Browser are you using? (Dolphin was forceclosing for me every time I went to type.)
EDIT: Got Superuser working, did the keyboard hack to make Start=Menu. Anybody know what button Music is mapped to in the configuration?
Going to fiddle around some more w/ Google Apps. Anybody have a walkthrough of installing the apps? IE Which ones you must do, don't have to do and what to do to get it working.
EDIT: It was WAKEkey 378. It was set to "MEDIA" so I changed it to "HOME". Works perfectly!
Hanging at the Red Moto Logo
Followed the instructions and had it working rooted, etc. Was going to change out the launcher. And obviously did something wrong. Now it just just hangs at the Red Moto logo. Can get it to power off and can still get it to the fastboot mode. Have tried reflashing the system and userdata, wiping the user data, etc. Any suggestion on what to try next?

Join our IRC at irc.freenode.com #motoactv
We have been working on this for a while. We are planning on working on a thread for this.
Currently I have Spotify and Sportstrack Pro running well. I'll start to compile a list of working applications.
If you're stuck in a boot loop, you'll need the userdata partition image. I'll edit my post with it once I'm on my computer.

I was so happy that OP finally released H2OS 2.5, this one is probably the best ROM with custom UI, unlike MIUI or Flyme, it is still in Material Language. However, after a clean flash, I found it is not pre-installed entire google service and it doesn't work well with OpenGapps. Here is the tutorial.
Before I start, make sure you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP. If not, go to twrp.me and flash the recovery via fastboot. And BTW, plz forgive my poor English, if there are any mistakes, leave the comments blow, Thank you!
1. Install H2OS 2.5(I believe you already did this) and Root package.
2. After the setup, reboot to Recovery, choose Mount - System. then flash OpenGapps, in this step, I suggest you guys choose Nano version, mini version will replace the stock calendar with Google Calendar and other variants of Gapps will replace more stock apps.
3. Go to Advanced - File Manager, delete /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/setupwizard.apk
DO THIS NO MATTER YOU CAN ACCESS GOOGLE OR NOT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT ENTER LAUNCHER!
4. After the reboot, Install and Open Titanium Backup, Tap Backup/Restore and you will find several Google-related apps are frozen, tap those and defrost them.
5. Convert Google Contacts Sync into user-app, after that go to Settings - Apps - Google Contacts Sync - Permissions, grant the permission on read contacts.
6. Reboot and Enjoy, don't forget use a proxy if you are in China!
----------------------------
To enable Screen Search (Google Now on Tap), go to Settings - Buttons - Home Button, Long Press Action - Search Assistant.
If your phone still can't work somehow, try following steps.
1. Install and Open Nova Launcher, long press screen - Widgets - Activities. Then choose Settings - Assist & Voice input
2. Open this shortcut, tap Assist app and choose None, after that tap Assist app again and switch back to Google app.
OP made their own Default App selection interface, so you can't go to Settings - Apps - Gear Icon - Default apps to select correct search assistant. That's why we need Nova Launcher to open this interface.
Screen Search should work then.
I already installed it using the Google Installer APK, so this method is of no use to me, but I sincerely hope it benefits several others.
Wow, you really seem to know your way around H2OS.
Could you help me with a problem I've been facing? I installed Pixel Launcher, and there's a hideous blue portion of the wallpaper that I can't remove. I understand you need to switch to the OnePlus Launcher to modify the wallpaper, so I switched to the OnePlus Launcher, changed the wallpaper, but the blue portion still persists.

There are additional options when changing wallpapers in the h2os launcher. I don't think you can entirely get rid of the colour blending at the bottom but you can change the colour and the area it covers. The one exception I have found is the Google wallpapers app, that is full screen.
My notifications don't sync with my android wear. Do you maybe have a fix for this, since this is the only reason I can't use H2os
