Current version: ClearDroid™ MotoACTV 1.2.0 T2
Mods:
-Download Green Super Circle Battery Mod (using version 1.1.8 T5 Base, will work for future versions until otherwise specified)
-Flash rom, boot rom, then flash mod. Do not wipe in between.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. MAKE SURE DEVICE IS CHARGED TO 100%.
2. USE ADB ON YOUR COMPUTER TO REBOOT THE ACTV INTO RECOVERY WITH THE COMMAND:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
(OR USE ROOT TOOL BUTTON TO DO SAME)
3. FLASH THE ROM ZIP THROUGH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY (WIPING OPTIONAL, BUT RECOMMENDED).
4. IF ROM DOES NOT BOOT, RETURN TO STOCK WITH ROOT TOOL, UPDATE TO LATEST FIRMWARE WITH MOTOCAST, RE-ROOT, THEN TRY AGAIN.
Included:
-1.7.10 (same as 1.7.12) base (contains Golf)
-Rooted
-Added packageinstaller
-Changed Key Layout
-1% battery mod
-Mapped power button double tap to "home"
-Added google maps required files
-Added contacts fix (for google services to function properly)
-Added android market + updater (will update to play store by itself)

Button Mapping:

-Power Button (1 Press): "Power"
-Power Button (2 Press): "Home"
To Overclock:
Download Dproldan's Overclock from here and install on your actv with a windows machine. (requires root obviously, and is a bit buggy with battery drain even when device is turned off)
To do:
Still broken:
-Searching market (or google search). No known fix exists yet, that I'm aware of. Added Market Search apk to circumvent this issue.
-This rom does delete user data. Sorry, it can't be avoided yet.
-Zeam Power Control widget will not shut off wifi. Use Wifi Manager instead. Menu > Disable Wifi.
Inspirations/Thank Yous:
-DPRoldan and all his work; (Specifically for contacts fix, power button double_tap mapping, and wifi timeout fix!)
-CEnnis91 (for stock roms and clockworkmod work)
-Utkanos (for clockworkmod work)
-BDAman80 (for being my partner in crime)
-TheEndGame7 (for being my alpha tester)
-CerealPirate (for his work on the Sense4 clock face)
-Atomiser09 (for his work on the Cell clock face)
-thompsos (for screenshots)
-fagalto (for ADB Manager app)

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do I install this Rom?
A: Flash through ClockWorkMod recovery directly from your ACTV. This rom is *NOT* in image format, so flashing with the image flasher will *NOT* work.
Q: How do I install a different launcher?
A: Either sideload through ADB, or from the market (search via Market Search app).
Q: How do I load from the market?
A: Turn on WiFi, open it, sign in, and download; Either from your "my apps" area, or using the Market Search app. Searching the market directly won't work.
Q: My widgets won't stay (or show up to place on the screen), what can I do?
A: Make sure your launcher is not installed on the SD card in the settings. Use the launcher to make a shortcut on the home screen to the Applications area in settings, find your app, and change it. This should fix the issue, and is relatively easy to do.
Q: When I plug my ACTV into my computer, I can't get Motocast to show up. What's wrong?
A: Nothing, your ACTV is in ADB mode. You can't do both ADB and Motocast at the same time, so open the adb manager app on your actv and "Stop ADB" to enable USB mode. When you're done, if you want to start ADB again, just "start ADB" in the app.
Q: How do I reboot into recovery?
A: Open the ADB Manager app, and press the button to reboot into recovery.
Q: How do I change Launchers?
A: Double tap start button on first run, and DO NOT select "Use Default". This way, whenever you go "Home", you can easily select which launcher you wish to use.
Q: Does this Rom include the stock MotoACTV software also?
A: Yes. Both stock ACTV and stock Android launchers are included, along with all the stock software (even Golf).
Q: Superuser doesn't work, how do I fix it?
A: Open root tool, and select the "Root Only" button. You don't need the bootloader, only to re-root. Not sure why, but root breaks upon flashing in older versions, and this fixes it.
Q: Power Control Widget doesn't shut off Wifi. How do I turn it off?
A: Zeam's widget will not shut off wifi after setting the timeout to 10 minutes in version 1.2.0 T2. Use Wifi Manager instead, it works just fine. Menu > Disable Wifi.
Whats some features of this rom? is it compatible with more apps than youre previous rom? What is different from the DPRom released on 1/3/13? Does it include a launcher?
It's a work in progress. I don't know yet. I'm working on this, a galaxy s3 rom, and several other projects at the same time.

Re: [ROM] ClearDroid for MotoACTV [Version 1.1.4 E] [Updated 01/07/13]
I'm still working on it. There's a LOT still to do here. I've got about 10 separate projects I've been working on, and time is short lately lol
Speaking of which, I have quite a few messages to reply to, and since my phone data is limited, I'm gonna try to reply once I get back to work.

So I've tried the various ROMs available and have been happy using ClearDroid. What is improved upon in this version? Please be gentle, MotoACTV has been my first foray into Android OS.
Also, the reason I have stuck to ClearDroid has been due to it's compatibility with a large selection of resource intensive games. Yes, I game on this thing, ninja style. GTA3, Fruit Ninja, Dead Trigger, Battle Heart, Blood & Glory, Front Line Commando, Guerilla Bob, GBCoid, Nesoid, Minecraft, Mini Moto Racing, Mame4Droid, SNESoid, N64oid, Zombieville USA, Zombie Dash, Reckless Racing, Pacman, Race of Champions, Gun Zombie and Shadow Gun.
I'm dead serious, all of that runs on ClearDroid, lost about half of those when I switched to DProm, although I did gain access to Temple Run thanks to Gyro support.
My gf hates when i game on my phone, she doesn't notice as much when its on my watch
Re: [ROM] ClearDroid for MotoACTV [Version 1.1.4 E] [Updated 01/07/13]
Haha! You sound like me! The latest version doesn't yet have as much on it as 1.1.3 does, but I'm working on it and it should have the necessary support files and play store shortly. I'm glad everything is working, because that's all I really strive for lol.

UPDATING
Q: How should I update my Phone? (To Android 4.4.2)
A: If you're updating via Update Service or PC Companion, do a fresh install (literally, I mean. FACTORY RESET) .
Q: I just flashed my phone and now it's full of lag.
A: Step 1: Debloat Firmware, Step 2: Do a factory reset, Step 3: Force GPU Rendering in Dev. Options, Step 4: Restart your Phone.
AFTER UPDATE
Q: My battery drains by Google Play Services (GMS) what can I do?
A1: Disable Google Location Services in Settings > Locations (You can do this when you boot up your Phone for the first time after update too.)
A2: Update GMS (Latest version is: 4.4.52): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms
Q: I can't write to my external SD Card. F U SONY. - (This isn't by Sony, Google decided to slowly kill MicroSD support on Android :silly
A: If you're rooted use this fix: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
Q: After updating many of my Apps are FC'ing (May happen if you didn't do a clean install)
A: Do a fresh install with a factory reset.
Q: My battery drains so quickly, 4.3 is much better.
A: Do a fresh install with a factory reset, I have been using KitKat since launch day and my battery easily lasts 2 days using the phone on a daily routine.
Q: My phone lags on the HomeScreen.
A: This may be caused by the new Xperia Live Wallpaper, if you change the wallpaper for a fixed one it should solve the problem. Plus, you can keep the LW as Lockscreen Wallpaper. Looks Good, Feels Good.

What's not working
- Nothing that I know of, let me know if you find one
Code:
This Rom has been tested by me several times on
my I9295 individually before release.
However I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
YOU choose to make these modifications to your phone.
TIPS
The aim of this ROM is to keep it as close to the stock firmware and light as possible. Because this way the ROM is the most stable you can get, and also you don't have any apps that run in the background that can have an influence on the performance and/or battery life of the ROM.
.
See Post #2 for the Aroma Add-on Package, so that you can choose which Samsung Apps / functions you want back.
You can use this Aroma add-on package at any time (multiple times) after flashing this rom (So you can first use the rom bare-bone and look for yourself which app/feature you want to have back). DO NOT install apps that you do not use to save battery and improve performance
.
The 3 Animation settings have been defaulted in the ROM to 0.5 for much faster animations (and experience). In case you would like to change them you can do so as below:
- Enable the Developer Options (Settings -> About Device -> 8x tap the Build number)
- Go to the Developer Options (Settings -> Developer options)
- Scroll down, and change, Window animation scale, Transition animation scale & Animator duration scale to your preference
.
Restrict performance is enabled by default in power saving mode. For a faster experience & allshare to work disable it by
- Go to Settings-->Power Saving-->Power saving mode -->Turn it on
- Tap on Restrict performance-->turn it off
- Go back to power saving mode-->turn it off
.
All apps available on Google Play Store are NOT included in the ROM (or Aroma add-on package), you can download those by yourself in the Play Store.
.
Do not restore apps from older android version through titanium backup, install the apps from Play Store (so the version of apps installed are compatible with the ROM version of android) and only use Titanium backup to restore the app data.
.
I am not much of a fan of the Xposed Framework plugins and prefer to have these directly in the ROM and in case you think of any features you can send your suggestions with complete details so that I can look into it.

Requirements
1. works with 4.4.2 bootloader / firmware or OB4
2. Flash the OB4 modems (You can also flash OC3 / OD3 modems from my drive along with the respective kernel all available on my drive)
3. CWM 6.0.5.1 and above (previous versions are not compatible with android 5.0.1) - I have tested with Philz recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation
Check your bootloader and modems, you may have to update to the latest one for your device (below XXXXNE5 - KitKat will have issues)
Backup your device, in case you want to revert back.
Delete all folders starting with a period ('.') along with the android folder on your internal sdcard (This is a must if upgrading from a kitkat or non TW ROM, these are files created by android system that can cause issues)
Factory reset (If using PhilZ recovery do not use 'Clean to Install a New ROM) Absolutely required as this is a S6 port
Flash the ROM
Reboot
If coming from any other ROM, select 'Setup as new device' and also unselect backup/restore app data while setting up the ROM. You can use Super Backup from playstore to backup & restore call log, contacts & SMS. Once the ROM is setup you can enable backup/restore.

Rom is uploaded... u can try and give me your feedback
Downloaded OK and flashed successfully according to CWM but only getting a blank screen on boot?? Not sure if it's because I was PacRom prior? I'll try reverting to stock TW via Odin and then reflashing to see what happens....

I have flashed this on my device at least a couple of times and have not encountered any issues.
Is you device I9295? as I am not aware of PacRom for S4 active international and have you flashed firmware for 4.4.2 on your phone before.
Edit: Just flashed once again and it booted without any issues. First boot takes about a minute and a half to two minutes
Yes its I9295. I've had various 4.4.4 firmwares running perfectly for a while. I've not flashed 4.4.2 TW Firmware before, because it wasn't available - but just found that a stock one is now available for the UK, so downloading that - I'll try flashing that through Odin first and then try this again.
Cheers

Yes that would be the issue, this is based on Netherlands 4.4.2 firmware that was released in April and it is working fine without any issues around the globe
Wifi problem
I don't have any problem to install this ROM but Wifi don't work. It will not turn on. Is there any fix for that?
Did you flash the ROM? Wifi is working fine here without any issues... look at the screenshots

What firmware are you on..could be an issue with the modem.. can you flash the netherlands firmware (link below) reboot, flash recovery and then try
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByY8uLVuRKD2NDZYYVBaamlrMkk/edit?usp=docslist_api
Edit: Alternatively if you do not want to flash entire firmware you can flash just the UCNE5 modem. You can get the link for the modem at post #693 at the below link and flashing instructions at post # 696

Hello. Installed over stocky rom. Style looks super (colours, etc), wifi also works. Will report later.
Sent from my GT-I9295 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hmm, well I finally have it up and running!
Odd though - I flashed the UK 4.4.2 firmware and then this and got the same issue - black screen on bootup. Tried all sorts of things, but nothing worked. I flashed the downloaded NL firmware and then this and bingo - maybe something to do with the LTE modem or phone that's different between NL and UK?? Do they have the same LTE bands - not had a chance to try the download speeds yet.
WiFi seems to work fine. It was doing weird things for a while when charging - every 10 seconds or so it would react as though the cable was unplugged and then plugged back in - with the pop up about waterproof plug etc. That may be related to the non-OEM battery though so I'll wait and see on that.
I'll try it out properly tomorrow and report back.
Thanks again though! Looks promising....

Ok thanks, I will update the info in the OP
Very nice rom but I have problems with root access. (I wiped cache and data before installing the rom) SuperSU is installed right but when I install apps which need root access for example titanium backup and try to launch the app the root access pop-up wont come up and the app freezes.. Everything else works fine!

Hmm.. did you do a factory reset? Su binary is installed and does pop up on root access requests. I have installed the ROM several times and did not have this issue. Can you try with factory reset and opening file explorer and selecting root explorer in settings and see if it pops up.
Wonder if anyone else has this issue

I would recommend that you restart the phone once and check with File Explorer as well. In case the problem persists then you can download SuperSu from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu and flash through CWM.
AOSP Marshmallow & Nougat Deloating Flashables
Description
Debloating Scripts for AOSP Marshmallow & Nougat.
Disclaimer
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device. By downloading and flashing or installing these zips, you automatically agree that I won't be held liable for anything that happens to your phone.
Background
I've created some flashable scripts to remove unwanted applications ('debloat') from AOSP-based Marshmallow and Nougat Nexus 5 ROMS.
These scripts, when installed, should minimize redundant versions of similar applications that arise when installing Google Applications (GApps) on custom AOSP ROMS.
THERE IS NO NEED TO RUN THESE SCRIPTS ON FACTORY ROMS! Factory ROMs from Google come pre-installed with GApps
THE REMOVAL PROCESS IS PERMANENT! When you run these scripts, the listed applications and their folders are deleted. If you inadvertently delete an app that you actually wanted to keep, you'll have to manually reinstall it from your custom ROM image, or reinstall the ROM.
Installation
PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM!
BEFORE attempting to run these scripts, download, install, and configure the replacement applications FIRST, then run the scripts.
An Example: if you remove the AOSP Keyboard (LatinIME) before installing the Google Keyboard, you won't be able to search for items in the Play Store, as you'll have no way of inputting text.
Your GApps provider may have specific instructions on installing certain applications. Please thoroughly read the documentation and notes your GApps "flavor" provides.
These debloating scripts are provided in a "flashable" ZIP archive. Copy the file to the storage/sdcard area of your phone, reboot to recovery (TWRP), "Install" the script, then reboot.
GOOD LUCK!

Google Camera is not available from the PlayStore in some countries using this Play Store Link.

Minimal GApps install on Marshmallow 6.0.0/6.0.1 on "unpatched" AOSP ROMs
I've had this tucked-away for a while on an odd thread. I'll post it here for now.
I'm a big fan of DeltaDroid's GApps. His work is highly modular; his focus is on a small, basic package with the ability to flash individual added components. Truly a fantastic thread and a great GApps developer.
NOTE: This same procedure will probably work for 7.0 Nougat; you'll have to download the Nougat package, of course!
I'll give an overview of my install procedure for Untouched AOSP on my Nexus 5, then I'll follow with the DeltaGApps install procedure.
General ROM & GApps Install Procedure:
--------
- Flashed MOB31E factory ROM via PC
- Installed TWRP via adb
- Created empty text files as per directions HERE
- Copied ROM, empty text files, and install items to phone from PC
- Booted to recovery (TWRP), rebooted from within TWRP to recovery (TWRP)
- Wiped everything but internal storage
- Installed ZIPs: ROM, TimeService, bootanimation
- Rebooted to system (Android)
- Setup APN and WiFi
- Rebooted to recovery (TWRP)
- Flashed Delta GApps MM base package using this PROCEDURE
- Rebooted to system (Android)
- Fixed Google Contacts Sunc, Google Play Services, and PlayStore permisions using this PROCEDURE
- Added google accout via Settings -> Accounts
- Rebooted to system (Android)
For a Minimal GApps install on Marshmallow 6.0.0/6.0.1 on "unpatched" AOSP ROMs:
--------
1. Download Deltadroid's Marshmallow Base Gapps package for 6.0.0 or 6.0.1 (From THIS GApps thread):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58047099&postcount=1 (Post #1)
(There are packages for 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 - all the way down, towards the bottom, "Marshmallow Base Gapps Package:").
2. Create and install these empty text files (0-byte) on the "root" of your Internal Storage (Ex: "/sdcard/" or "/storage/emulated/0"):
(NOTE: The end of this post has a mini walk-thru for creating these empty text files using Notepad on a PC and TurboEditor on Android)
/sdcard/.removefacelock
(prevents Google Facelock from being installed and removes existing installation of Facelock)
/sdcard/.removesetupwizard
(keeps the "stock provision" Setup Wizard and does not replace it with Google's Setup Wizard)
3. Install GApps via TWRP
4. Boot to System (Yes, you'll probably get Play Services "FC" messages until you perform #5 below)
5. Immediately toggle application permissions to "ON" under:
Settings -> Apps -> ... -> System show
For:
- Google Contacts Sync
- Google Play Services
- Google Play Store
- Contacts (I had to add permission for SMS on AOSP MOB31E)
6. Reboot the phone
7. Add your Google Account via "Settings -> Accounts -> Add account -> Google"
8. Verify that Contacts are synced and Play Services is functional.
9. Enjoy!
Walk-through for creating empy "zero-byte" text files:
--------
On Windows, use Notepad or the text editor of your choice:
1. Select "New file".
2. Without typing any text, press "Save as".
3. Under "Name", type ".removefacelock" (without the quotes, with the preceding period, and without the .txt extension)
4. Press OK.
5. repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Under "Name", type ".removesetupwizard" (without the quotes, with the preceding period, and without the .txt extension)
7. Press OK.
8. Copy both files from Windows to "/storage/emulated/0" or "/sdcard" on Android.
On Android, using Turbo Editor for illustrative purposes (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maskyn.fileeditor&hl=en or https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.maskyn.fileeditorpro):
1. Download and install a text editor on Android.
2. Open the text editor.
3. Select "New file".
4. Without typing any text, press the three dots in the upper right corner.
5. Press "Save as".
6. Under "Name", type ".removefacelock" (without the quotes, with the preceding period, and without the .txt extension)
7. Verify that the destination folder is "/storage/emulated/0", or "/sdcard", or whatever your storage area is named.
8. Press OK.
9. Press the back arrow until you get to the menu.
10. repeat steps 3-5.
11. Under "Name", type ".removesetupwizard" (without the quotes, with the preceding period, and without the .txt extension)
12. Repeat steps 7 and 8.
Done.
User-Submitted Tips 'n Cheats
Google Phone (Dialer app) - submitted by @occtec:
----
Here's a tested & working fix for crashing, blank-screening in-call and permission issues for Google Dialer, downloaded from the PlayStore.
(1) Download app from Play Store
(2) Grant all permissions to the app (Settings->Apps->Phone-> Permissions-> check all)
(3) Uninstall default dialer system app (disable, freeze using titanium or use a debloater)
(4) Reboot
(5) Move downloaded Google Phone to /system (you can use 'system app mover' from play store. Make
sure to download and install busybox prior to using this app, if you havent got it already)
(6) Reboot
(7) Open Settings->Apps->Phone->Phone app-> Phone app again-> Select Phone as default.
DONE.

This thread was definitely necessary - one post in another thread wasn't enough to get proper oversight in your work. Thanks for this! Your scripts work great for me, as well as the DeltaDroid Base GApps.

Thanks for coming up with this idea.
It would be really great if you can make a script that can delete aosp launcher as well. As in under the name "Extreme"
Just saying. @androcraze **Cheers**

I'd rather include removing the launcher in the "Maximum" version. Do most folks who install the GApps also install the Google launcher?

I think giving users an option to keep aosp launcher would be better. Otherwise maximum will have to come with a Big Warning on launcher installation imo.
Really appreciate your prompt reply.

I don't like "Extreme"....
"Maximum", "Medium", "Minimum", "M.......m".
"Mayhem".
Is there anything else that can be scrubbed (to be replaced by something else)?
Mayhem is cool.
'Magnum' ,If it is ok.

In firearms nomenclature, "Maximum" is greater than "Magnum"; the .357 Maximum is larger and packs more punch than the .357 Magnum.
I'll stick with Mayhem, and I'll need a walkthrough on installing the Google Launcher.

I am afraid to speak beyond my capabilities. But I usually flash in this order :
Rom > Debloater script > Pixel Launcher / Google Launcher package > GApps Package (Delta Droid or Open Gapps , both of them works Ok.)
I face no issues following these steps. I've tried these with Santhosh build as well as other nougat roms.
Can't say about marshmallow roms.
This is so cool, thank you so much!
Used it to remove AOSP Bloatware, from the Nougat AOSP Rom for Nexus 5, and then I had room to install G apps mini over micro. Yay!
Changes for 20161015 (All scripts):
Mayhem, Maximum, Medium, Minimum:
- Removed "BasicDreams" from the debloating scripts. It's not wallpaper bloat, and it removes functionality without offering a suitable replacement.
Medium:
- Added removal of AOSP Keyboard (LatinIME) and added suggested link to AnySoftKeyboard. LatinIME has features that are broken (swipe, for one), and AnySoft Keyboard is feature-rich in every way.
@androcraze is there a way for me to edit the Maximum debloater so that it will not remove the keyboard. Or can you tell me how do I install the google keyboard as a system app. thanks
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
