Mods:
-Download Green Super Circle Battery Mod (using version 1.1.8 T5 Base, will work for future versions until otherwise specified)

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"

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.

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.

Nice ROM! Thanks..!
One question.. How do I start the workout in MotoACTV if the start button is remapped..? Thanks.

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.

What type of widgets and which launcher? I added widgets to adw ex launcher and they worked fine
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

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.

The major difference is that you have the ROM in zip file and the ROM is deodexed, zipaligned and the /system/app folder has been moved to /data/app and it supports init.d script support.
Majority of the difference is behind the User Interface. In terms of user interface they both look alike.
Have you restored your phone to Factory settings considering your problem?

Flashed your ROM, everything working fine with great speed and also the battery life got improved dramatically. Very nice work.
Yes, I restored to the factory settings but no success, looks like hardware fault. Tried wifix manager app from play store but still the wifi and mobile data disconnect while screen turns off.

Thanks for your positive feedback
Have you tried this?
Goto System Settings > Under Wireless and Networks Tap WLAN > press menu key and tap advanced > Tap Keep WLAN on during sleep and select always.
Now your phone won't disconnect, if this is the case.

Thank you for your suggestion. This is the first thing I have done, but wifi and mobile data sleeps automatically. I have tried stock roms from different devices like saadusmani's ROM and your ROM but nothing improved in wifi and mobile data connection. I should claim warranty.
But before that I need to unroot the phone and change the stock splash screen (screen before boot animation). Do you know how to change the splash screen to stock Qmobile screen?

Restore to stock firmware by downloading it from www.ehtisham.com or www.labandroid.com

[GAPPS] Debloating Scripts for AOSP ROMs

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!

NOTE 1: On the Nexus 5, running Nougat:
Google Camera is not available from the PlayStore in some countries using this Play Store Link.
Google Camera - creates/throws green video alternating frames; photos are fine.
AOSP Camera and Footej - take good photos, but have no HDR+ support; some users report jitters on the left side of the screen in recorded videos.
OpenCamera - takes good photos, supports HDR+; some users report jitters on the left side of the screen in recorded videos.
At this time OpenCamera is highly recommended.

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)

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.

Sounds like a "tips" section is in order. I'll make something in Post #3 for now. Thank you for the walkthrough.

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

the dialer is broken in the google version you can make calls but there s no call ui so you can't hang up and can't even answer phone calls because of the same issue, installing google dialer framework doesn't help. every thing is working fine on the samsung version tho other than that contexts fix.

You need to read the info about Google version in my post you just quoted.
Important - Must go to setting - Apps - Default Apps - Calling app And choose Google phone.
I tested it many times and it works fine if you do that step.
