Hi,

I was curious if anyone knows of an after-root Motocast app for the Razr. I am aware of Zumocast, but, from what I researched, Zumocast only streams and does not allow someone to download files and media from their computer to their phone as Motocast does. I recently rooted, installed CWR via bootstrap, and installed a custom rom. The one thing I have missed from the stock rom is the Motocast that is offered. I don't want to go back because of the bloatware that is included. Does anyone know any information about an after-root Motocast build for the Razr's custom roms?

Thanks for the contributions in advance!

From what I know you will not have any luck with finding a moto cast to work on a custom rom. Specifically, if the Rom is based on 173 and is deodexed. There is one or two roms that are not deodex and you can easily add motocast back into them but most roms now won't have that option.

I have tried every custom Rom out there but always go back to stock because I have to have motocast. As far as the bloat, you can stay on stock after root and just remove or freeze any bloat you don't want. That is what I do.

Being rooted, being on a deodexed ROM, being on .173, nor being on a custom ROM at all has no bearing on Motocast.

It just so happens that most the ROMs out right now have the bloatware that Motocast relies on removed.

I know Eclipse had Motocast in the newest build but I don't think it is working, but you might want to check it out. But the next build will probably have it fixed if not.

Actually being deodexed has everything to do with moto cast not working. I agree rooting does not and I started that done thing in my first response. Devs have tried and it just does not work when deodexed. Motocast will only work on odexed systems at the moment. Like you said, it does not work on eclipse. So the only answer to the op set this time is what I took him in my answers. He needs to be on a Rom that is odexed. Even if the dev took it out , motocast can easily be added back in.


As for 173 I clearly said if deodexed. The only reason I mentioned that is because most roms being used right now fit that category. Yes, if a user happens to be running a Rom based off 748 or 744 motocast works there too but again, it can not be deodexed.

I downloaded the wifi file transfer pro app...as close as motocast as I could find. It too uses you're wifi to transfer files back n forth. Only difference is, you have to select the files manually, It's not automatic.But it also saves a restore...so if you change ROMs or what not...you can restore all your files.

Salutations, everyone. =)

I am currently using JellyCore, and I'm missing all my favorite Motorola features such as MotoCast.

Has anyone been able to find a way to install the MotoCast system? Is there an APK that can be installed?

I found one labeled MotoCast on 4Shared, but it turns out to be a ZumoCast app. I thought they were the same now, but I can't login into ZumoCast with my MotoCast account. =/

Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated!

Well, I'm not a dev but unless I'm misunderstanding something here, this isn't right. I'm running R3Ds's stock ikream rom. Motocast works great and it is a deodexed rom. There's another rom or two here that I've tried that had Motocast and they worked too although, I don't really remember which ones (I've kind of settled in on ikream) so I can't say for sure if they were deodexed or not. The rom I'm running now is though. No doubt about it.

Unfortunately motocast can not be installed like any regular apk. It must be built into the ROM unless you find a flashable zip. I have seen one or two zips out there that add all the blur bloat back in but I don't know if anyone has put together a zip just for moto cast.

When we were on GB, a dev did me a solid and created a small zip that I flashed just for motocast but that was almost a year ago.

Yeah, its been 8 months with a new OS and great dev work. I am not one either but motocast was something I would not go without and earlier in the year on GB , I had a dev tell me exactly what I posted on this thread. I wanted motocast and was told I had to use a ROM that was not deodexed. But that was then.....this is now. :-)

Used DualCore for awhile and it had it, and IKream, way back when had it.

Yeah both are ICS. GB ROMs were different.

Thank you for your reply! I greatly appreciate it!

I've been searching all over the place for a zip that I could flash, but my search has not turned up anything.

Motorola's website actually says there is a "standalone" app for MotoCast, but I can't find that. The MotoCast apk on 4Shared actually installed ZumoCast, but my MotoCast login doesn't work with it. =/

Any help finding a zip to flash? =)

In the meantime, I'll try another ROM; but I'm definitely in love with my JellyCore by SpeedCore. I really prefer not to downgrade to ICS. Any pointers for a JB ROM?

For the standalone app they might be talking about the one in play,

Kebob's .215 deodexed base contains Motocast and it works fine. It is my daily running ROM and I use Motocast.

That's exactly the one I'm talking about. I've found the market link a few times, but I can't download it because my devices are not compatible. Which is rather odd considering I only use Motorola devices. =/ I really dislike that device compatibility check in Google Play. I was hoping someone might have that APK file? =)

Thank you! I'll be installing that today if it's SafeStrap ready!

Is that ICS, JB, or GB? I'm rather spoiled with my JellyCore.

[wabmorgan]

^^^ It is ICS. And it installs via Safestrap.

I am rooted running .215 and have no problem using/running Motocast...did it just yesteday. I am not running a custom ROM.
