[PROJ] Morphing Voice during phone call

Development thread for a software method to morph your voice during a phone call
The idea is to develop a software method which let's you morph your voice during a phone call. There are many ways to achieve this and I am amenable to suggestions.
Since I was not able to find any API which let's you configure the voice or the stream from the microphone or something similar I came up with the idea to write a driver for the microphone, which would give me the ability to change my voice directly within it, but after some research it was clear to me that it can't be that easy.
Updates:
05.05.2010 - Microphone driver solution died. Researching for a new way...
Windows Mobile doesn't seem to have any influence on the microphone during a phone call. Deeper research about the hardware of the phone is necessary (processors, DSP/MDSP,....).
HELP IS APPRECIATED AND ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME
I will update this thread as some news appear.
Please write your suggestions and your ideas directly as post in this thread.

Good idea !
good luck , i'll watch this thread

You'll get a better response in this forum...

You've posted in a HD2 specific forum, but that one is specific to Windows Mobile software development.

Device specific
The reason why I posted it here is that I am going to develop the driver on this device (HD2 Leo) and because the only solution so far i figured out is developing a driver, which is device specific.

good idea, i have been after an app similar to the "i am t-pain" (autotune)app from iphone
please can you use autotune?

God speed to you good sir!

Fair enough, but surely it wouldn't be a device specific driver to do this? Never mind.

This will be great for extortions. The question is whether we can find a way to disgiuse the phone's ID and location (which can be found using cellular triangulation) otherwise we have achieved nothing here.

lol this would be a fun one... hopefully you can work some magic and create a special treat for us hd2 users

Autotune is an app for iphone, which obviously can't help us here.
In addition autotune doesn't morph your voice during a phone call.
The main problem here is not the morphing itself (such apps already exist for WinMo), but the fact that it needs to be done while you make an active call.

Live morphing during a active phone call would be nice..
There is a software name Voice Twister for Windows mobile which can do live morphing but not during active phone calls..

[APP] UK CCTV Traffic Cameras London 0.4b

Hi guys,
I would like some feedback of my first App on android. It's free and it doesn't have any ads, which means that basically I'm making no money with it
I wanted to know the bugs first and receive some feedback before going any further. I don't own many mobile phones at the moment and all I got is some friends (nexus one) and an emulator to try this app.
My questions are:
- Could you please try this app. and give me some constructive feedback?
- If you like the app, could you rate it on android market, please?
(thank you in advance!)
Description:
Check more than 150 CCTV cameras around London.
Whether you are a tourist or a Londoner you can use this simple but effective application to "auto-detect" some of the nearest CCTV cameras around you.
You can also find some cameras (in London) by typing the street name.
(This software is not endorsed, affiliated or owned by TfL)
Screenshots:
("new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed" )
(I've been reading the forum for a while but this is my first post, I think)
Thank you.
Edit:
New in 0.4b:
- some bug fixes
- backwards compatibility
(I was forced to change the layout, I'm wondering whether it still works on 2.2 as it used to. Hope so!. Thank you for testing this app!)

Force Closed for me on froyo N1. Seems well thought out, and maybe it'll work better on 2.1 >
I personally have no practical use for this, not living in London, but as the description says, it might be useful for tourists and residents etc.
Hopefully other people might be able to get it to work successfully on other versions of android.
Keep up the work - nice to see new devs who don't just make spam apps.

Thank you very much for your feedback. It's very helpful. I had the chance to try the app on a google nexus one (so far 2.1 and 2.2 only).
I think I should probably put some restrictions on my sdkversion (I'm gonna read a bit more about that but if someone want to share some hints regarding that matter I'm all ears!)
Once again, THANK YOU!
EDIT: have you got the chance to see any screen before the "force close"?
have you been using 3G when this happened? (Thanks)

Works good dude...i just don't know any street names in London - lol
I saw Cambridge from your screenshot...it worked awesome
Running Nexus One CM6 Froyo 91

@bong_sniffer Thank you for your feedback. This is the first comment I've got from someone I don't know in person saying that it works. Cheers mate!
@grandmasterethel I've found the problem (I think). It's because I was using something available just in 2.2. ("street view" button). I'm gonna try to fix that for "backwards compatibility".

Now that you mention it, yes I was on 3G. It loaded the main menu just fine, and then it found the nearest camera to me (not even close because I don't live in london, but I imagine it is the closest really) but the when I pressed the button to get the camera view, it crashed.

fc on froyo over wifi

@ermacwins, @grandmasterethel, sorry to bother again but, I wanted to ask if please, when you got the chance, could you possibly try again the new version 0.4b and tell me how it goes?
does it work? does it cause the FC at the same point?
Once again, thank you for your feeback!

still fc on stock 2.2

Have it running on FRF91 build FroYo fine. Not that keen on the UI though. Button alignment and graphics are a bit off.
Not an issue though as it's a beta and it's free. Really handy application though.
Looking forward to the next build. Keep the good ideas rollin'.

@markouk thank you for your feedback. I wanted to ask you, can you use the UI or is it seriously messed up?. Sorry about that, I had to change the UI after changing the sdkversion and, for some reason -all of a sudden- the UI just changed. I'll be working on that. The UI is not going to be "amazing" but at least I hope to have everything organised.
@UmarKhan Thank you for your report. Finally, I managed to get FC while testing in a place with poor GPS reception. To some extent, I'm happy it happened to me, because I can finally understand what's happening, so, I'll be working on that issue!
Thank you all for trying the app, I'll be trying to solve those bugs.

Just gave it another try. Works perfectly on FRF91. Congratulations.
Sorry for the delay by the way, was AFK for a few days.

@grandmasterethel thank you for your feedback. I found another bug when there's poor GPS reception but I'm working on it (as well as the UI). If you find another FC, please, let me know.

[WIDGET] Prepay Widget - we need testers!

Hello everyone! I am the developer of Prepay Widget, a powerful app that allows you to monitor your account balance through USSD requests.
You can find more info about USSD on Wikipedia, but basically these are short, SMS-like messages used by most GSM and some CDMA providers to deliver information
or control account services. The actual information comes to you in the form of popup toasts, which thids app hides and parses into widgets.
You can find the apps landing page on XDA at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12348102
However, i want to stress that its important that we get some device-specific feedback, so please post in this thread if you have issues,
this helps me keep track of bugs and requests better.
You can use the Lite version of the app - it has all the functionality of the full version apart from automatic updates (not really that important imo).
As I haven't got one of these phones in my pocket, I need some testers to track down problems. Please, use this thread to comment or
suggest features. It is my belief that addressing issues is best done individually by phone, so if something doesn't work, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.ussd.widget.lite
Debugging:
Please use the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu to send logs. Enable debugging, reproduce your error and then send the logs.
Make sure you include a description - the more detailed the description the better.
Screens:

i got it but don't know the USSD code for orange uk. Can anyone shed some light here?

I think google is probably your friend there...

App is now in Top New Paid on the market

This is AWESOME! Thanks a lot, ive been using an inferior widget for years!

nice widget ，thank you for sharing

Enjoy! And please leave a comment on the market - it can be a great help!

Ok, after testing i will leave a comment

This app is the best by miles

Thank you!

Works perfectly fine with 2 degrees over here in NZ. Best buck ever spent.
Thanks!

Thanks, please leave a review on the market!
By the way, a major update is currently in testing with lots of cool UI changes.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

Brilliant!

Check the main thread for screens of the new ui!

Guys its critical that i get some device-specific feedback for version 1.1.2 that came out today.
Please, be nice XDA members and help!

Please help me debug the latest version! I need some feedback on updates in particular!

How is it working?

1.1.3
- New USSD intercept mechanism (beta)
- Update status animations added
- Log graphivs changed
- Rare device specific errors fixed
- Some update bugs fixed
Lets get some feedback please!

I use the free version, and I am having problems with it since the update. I tap to update the widget (or press update in the app) and it seems to get stuck updating. The spinning icon animation appears and doesn't stop or go away for ages, seems like its been spinning for half the day now. Several USSD code running and done messages popup seemingly at random once updating begins.
The update has not gone well for me it seems on my Desire S with stock rom.
I'm going clear out my old ussd entries and widgets and start again, see if that helps.
**Update** cleared out my ussds and widgets and reinstalled the app. seems to be working properly now. Looks like a few ppl have had this issue judging by the market comments and doing a clean install seems to prevent them.

Guys ive already made a bugfix, but there is some sort of problem with the markets dashboard, cant seem to be able to publish anything right now! Please check tomorrow morning!

[Q] Ringtone from Phone Zune Music Library?

Hi Devs,
This one is for you:
After having had some time with Mango on my HD2 to test and discuss with my wife, we decided to buy her a Mozart and upgrade it to Mango.
Only after doing so, we discovered, that music cannot be set as Ringtone. Please, do not tell me tales of all the little helpers used to create ringtones and sync them via zune etc.
I also have already found a nice App (easyRing) on the market, which lets one grab plenty of tones from the amazon mp3-preview store and set them as ringtones. nice idea actually.
But we are looking for an App, that offers the following 2 basic features:
- Pick a song from the Library on the phone, clip down to 39 or less seconds.
- Save as Ringtone/Set as Ringtone (actually this is two features, the first being a native mango command for Apps).
Anyone interested in developing this?
That'd be THE KILLER.
Actually i totally underestimated this feature. I never ever thought that this could actually be a buy/not decisive. My wife wants to get rid of the phone fast no matter what. the only way making her keep this is to have this feature available. She actually likes the OS. Weird, isn't it?
So, what's keeping you? Off you go kids!

The phones music library isn't accessible by third party apps so it's not possible right now.

Snickler actually is working on this already. His app r1ng3d is out for a while and has the features you find in easyRing. He is currently working on
Soon v1.2
* Localized strings.. I need translations for different languages. PM me.
* Ringtone creation on device (I freaking hope!)

wow. I have seen that app of Snickler but i didn't notice how close it came to my request.
Am gonna go check it out now. Thanks for pointing that out.
@Ren13B
And the library is not accessible by third-party apps? This is why? Where did you get this information from?
I am aware of this new command for Mango-Builds, "save as ringtone", as some MS Person pointed that out in a blog. Why shouldn't there be a way to access a song and apply that function onto it (i wonder).
[EDIT]
Since i have talked to Snickler and found out that he is working on just THAT feature i consider this threads purpose being served. unfortunately i haven't checked Snicklers R1ing3d before. Could have spared this thread.
So this just is a jumper to the mentioned thread. People looking for this function finding my Thread may want to go there. Have fun. Thanks for dropping by

[Looking for] Incoming call app with customizable info

Hi guys,
I recently started a new job which will require me to receive calls from many different people. Each of these will be from a different company and I will have talked to them about a specific product or a specific application/problem they had.
So I was wondering if there is an app that allows me to add info for each contact so that when I receive a call from John, there is a pop-up or a string that tells me who John is and what he might want from me.
Hope that's clear!
Thanks in advance, looking forward to your answers!
Mario

Something either as a phone app or a pop-up that can show notes on a contact, maybe recent interactions, subjects, etc.
I have heard of an app that does this but I don't remember what it was called. It was meant for business interactions with clients. If I find it I'll update my post.
Edit:
I believe what you want might be a CRM app, what a quick search found was a few that may match your needs.

Or possibly
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netmine.rolo.crm
I haven't used either one but it gives you an idea of where to look possibly if these aren't for you.
Hope it helps!

That's exactly what I was looking for! I had no idea it was called CRM! Thanks a lot! I'll try these two, if I find anything better I'll update it for future reference!
If anyone else has anything similar to reccomend, I'd gladly check it out!
