[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..

[Q] Application advice

Hi all,
My name is shai and I'm new to java and android, this is my first application, most of my experience is in c, c++ , vb, pascal.
My question is, is it common to publish the application before it was debugged?
Just to tell about the features and to read your comments,
tnx
shai

A lot of guys release apps for beta testing on here, to benefit from bug reporting and such like.

I think this is the thing all developers do on this forum...
I can only speak for custom ROMs. They get better after sharing and testing.
Must be the same for your apps.
Please share and I'm sure a lot of people would be glad to test them.

Hi, I'm a new developer to android also. I do most of my debugging before publishing in the market. For beta testing I usually ask in forums and then send a limited version of the app via email. If you are looking for a beta tester I have an HTC Flyer with Honeycomb if you need help. I'm always willing to help out a new person. Just email me at [email protected]

Based on how people review on the Google Market, your best bet is to have a stable version before release on the market.
Also a good description of its features and screenshots make all the difference.

First, it was nice to read your post s, now I know that I have someone to get advice from.
At the beginning my partner idea was just to develop an application to transfer the phone microphone audio to the Bluetooth head set. I took his idea and expend it to more features like:
a. Transmitting audio from the mic to the head set
b. Recording to an audio file
c. Hiding the app window (so no one knows u r spying on them)
d. Transmitting audio from the headset to the phone so the users can have conversation
e. Blocking incoming calls
The app is 80% finished all I miss is
Retrying Bluetooth connection after incoming call (Have no idea how to implement this feature…..if someone have one…..pleaseeeee tell me) and of course debugging ,which haven’t done so far because I don’t know which phone to buy 
Thanks for all your help

[Q] [HELP] Problem with Viber !!!

I installed Viber on my new One S, but it doesn't work.
I can hear the person for a few seconds and then black out, we didn't hear each other.
And it's really embarassing.
Did someone get the same problem ?? or have a solution for that ?!
I have the official HTC ROM installed. ( it's not rooted yet )

Viber
Hi,
This is a member of the Viber R&D Team!
We haven't thoroughly tested Viber on this specific device yet. You can check out our list of officially supported devices at: http://bit.ly/rqbZEw
You may install it and try it, or if you are having some technical glitches, it may be helpful if you try to uninstall/reinstall the application.
We are continuously working to adapt Viber to more and more devices.
If anyone has any questions/suggestions for Viber, please feel free to let us know, and we will address them shortly.
Thanks,
Viber Team

I found that every time i paused the call and then i resumed, it work again for few second and after that black out.
I think it's a problem with some sort of memory buffer.

Thanks for the report.
We invite you to open a ticket to our support team so they can look into it. Here's the link: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0
However, please note that since the device is not officially supported, the process of looking into the problem may take a little while

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, my device is HTC Desire S, and I'm just running a custom rom, Cyanogenmod 9. Also I forgot to mention that I had the same issue with Cyanogenmod 7, I thought there was a bug or something with CM7 but now I'm having the same issue with CM9. I tried to inform the developers, but I don't have the permission to write on their thread, I'll be glad if you could assist with this, thank you.

Hi,
We apologize for the confusion, we only now noticed that you're running a Desire S with CM9.
It sounds like the typical Custom ROM issue - some custom ROMs alter the microphone definitions of your phone, causing Viber not to recognize the phone's microphone properly. That is the reason that Viber cannot transmit your sound to the other side.
Please note that at this stage we don't officially support custom ROMs with Viber. Running Viber on a custom ROM results in various side effects (sometimes total lack of functionality), but we can't afford to support all custom ROMs out there. We are continuously working to adapt Viber to more and more ROMS, but meanwhile - you might want to contact the ROM developer (or other users in XDA community) for further support - they may be able to resolve this issue.

Could you please list what microphone settings viber expects?
This would help in fixing the rom's.
Tapatalked from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!!!

This issue has already been discussed (and solved, for some users with certain phones and ROM versions) by XDA users, and ourselves, in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25865775#post25865775

I have the same problem for my phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 GT-S6500D) and I even can't find my phone among the list of supported devices although I'm using the original rom installed by Samsung (Gingerbread 2.3.6). is there a way or a tip about how to have viber fully functional?

Wrong forum dude. This is the HTC Desire S forum. Please either post in the correct forum for your device, or contact Viber directly.

Hi there
I have Viber installed on my Android 2.3.5. The Viber version is 2.2.2. Other people can ring me but I cannot hear them. If I ring someone they can hear me, but I cannot hear them.
This is very frustrating because my son is overseas. I am sure this is a simple problem. Any ideas?

Hi,
What phone are you using?
Do you have a Custom ROM installed on your phone?

Viber problem, not same, but similar
Hi,
i have very similar problem, running i9300, cyanogenmod 10.2 (had same problem for all CGM roms for half year back) -
if i or anyone makes a call, i can hear them, but they cannot hear me. then we close connection, and dial again and then its ok. Allways have to call twice, if contacts call me or i call them, everytime.
Really dont know whats the problem, buts as far i read here, it may not be issue with microphone drivers, cause if we make call again, it just works perfectly.
Any thoughts?

*Need Developer to help in rom build/app devl: Yes for money.

Hey All,
We're working on a tracking system that uses BLE tags and Motorola E phones as trackers and are having issues that lead us to believe a stock rom may help. I would like to connect with someone who can develop a custom rom for us or help resolve some issues we are having. We have an application that reports back to a server, but are running into issues with the phones going dark and not reporting. long story short, these things need to run as a set-and-forget appliance.
I've used knowledge from the community here for a long time with almost every smartphone I've had, and would like to start asking for help here rather then some freelance site.
Please notify me via e-mail or fell free to call me, or respond to this thread.
Thanks!
