Took two days of mad working to get the Motoactv rooted and to install endomondo, mostly going round and round in circles :D Hope this is useful.
1. You first need to root your Motoactv, use this great tool and guide here http://motoactv.wikispaces.com/ . There are also plently of video tutorials on youtube and i might make one later if i have time.
2. Once you have rooted your Motoactv i suggest you use "Motoactv easy modder" which will allow you to install custom applications and some other useful stuff. HERE http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3259796/MotoACTV.folder.tar
Open up easy modder by clicking on windows.bat and enter 03. then enter 01 which will install honey comb.
Then after that is done enter 97.
Now enter 06 which is used to remap buttons so you can navigate into honey comb. Next enter 09 which will make you start button on your motoactv become a home button and your music button become a menu button. NOTE: you can restore the key mapping back to normal by going into this modder and entering 21. Dont close easy modder just leave it as it is we will need it later.
3. Enter 97 on easy modder and then enter 04 which will install the apk.
Now type end2.apk.
Now enter 04 again, we need to install another app to keep the wifi on. Now type wifi.apk and enter.
now enter 04 again to install maps and type gmap.apk and enter.
We are now done with easy modder you can close it.
4. Next press the start key on you motoactv and click honey comb. Now go to apps and click wifi manager, make sure it is connected to a wifi network. press back and choose the endomondo app from app list. It does open sideways im currently working on getting it back upright. login ect ect its just like endomondo on a phone. Ive not really tested it too much yet but if there are any issues i will try to fix them up, but it seems to work fine. If ive missed out anything feel free to ask.
PROBLEMS: There could be a problem with when you try to install endomondo and it says something about shared libaries not found. You can fix this problem, look here http://www.callum-macdonald.com/2011/02/06/missing-com-google-android-maps/ . you will need to install ssh droid ill probly make a guide for fixing this as well later.

Fantastic. This is what I am been waiting for!
All the funcions work? Can you use the motorolla puslometr and some bluetooth headset with it? Sounds really promising! :)
Can I use this to install a custom ROM (particularly RunKeeperActv)? I am going absolutely crazy trying to get ADB installed and running on my computer via SDK Manager and without ADB I can't access the SD card to install a ROM. On top of that, while I am rooted, my battery is draining so fast it's ridiculous. I am so frustrated. MotoActv is basically useless now as the battery lasts maybe two hours now.
Disregard. All is right with the world. ROM installed. Now.....just have to see about battery life.
OMG, why couldn't I have found this post before I too spent two days trying to figure this out!?
