I just switched back from thundershed to sense because I couldn't get voice to text to work well in a moving car or other place with noisy background.
It was suggested that some other keyboard might help. Is it true that the voice to text function is affected by the keyboard? I thought it was a native android process only activated by the keyboard? Does each keyboard have its own voice to text algorithm?
In sense I use the same keyboard and voice to text works fine in my car. I thought I was using swiftkeyx but I am actually using smart keyboard.
I think its the rom. Ive only had good voice 2 text with sense or desensed roms, not aosp. You can try an aftermarket voice recog app from market if you really want aosp.

From what I can see those apps only work with their own sms app and i use google.voice for sms.
I also use v to t in emails.
I found one that worked with stock app, but cant remember which one

I'm running Liquid Gingerbread 3.2 and LeanKernel 6.1.0 and voice to text is working fine for me. Did you try flashing another kernel.
Most keyboards don't have their own voice to text. Some might but none that I know of.
I'm using the same kernel as you are. It's best for bluetooth which i also need. Can you talk to text in a moving car?

I didn't find out about it until yesterday, but it works awesome. I'm even using it to write this message LOL.

It does work well. It even picks up "naughty" words, which is useful for when I'm mad at people.
But... the thing that sucks about it is that if you have your input method set to Dragon, you get the crappy dragon keyboard if you need to type, which doesn't support Swype or do any spelling corrections. If you want a decent keyboard because you are in a loud area, you have to manually switch it back to the Swype keyboard.
Dragon? Are you listening? Please fix.
Swiftkey is the best keyboard out IMO. Better than Swype or any carrier specific KB.
Does anyone know if the Phone.apk/Contacts.apk can be changed to work how older versions of the Dialer worked, where as you dialed, contacts would show on the screen, so you could quickly find the contact. In the newer versions of Froyo/GB, it looks like it only allows you to dial the number but contacts don't show up.
Try using Go Contacts/Go Dialer. When you dial it shows the contacts as you dial like the old version of the dialer used to do
You could also try TouchPal or Dialer One, both will suit your purpose.
I really want this too. Seems insane to remove from the stock dialer.
It would be a great feature to see incorporated into new roms.

That was never the stock dialer.
For instance on galaxy s devices its part of touchwiz

It was stock on my Nexus One... it showed whatever the default contact pic was for both incoming and outgoing calls. On G2x stock dialer I just have the Bugdroid.

Just curious, I'm a heavy texter and the stock messaging doesn't really work for me. I downloaded Handcent, and it seems to do the job fine. But what messaging apps do you guys use?
And is there a way to download the stock vanilla Android messaging apk found on Nexus Ones, G2's etc?
I'm using stock right now, works OK for me although I haven't really explorer too many other apps. When I first got my infuse I used chomps sms which is just like bites for iphone. Quick reply and compose are the 2 things I really like.

Only other alternative to stock I've tried is go SMS pro. Its pretty good but as a preference I run stock with the android keyboard.

Been using handcent since i started using android... U can customize jus abt everything, including each specific txt thread, to ur liking. The main feature i use it for, however, is the ability to lock the txt messages (both handcent & stock) it so has the quick reply which is cool...

I'm also using chomp SMS. I came from iPhone and had bitesms installed. Chomp is made by the same company as bite, so a lot of the features are similar. Quick reply and compose are my favorites. The lock screen notification isn't as good as bite for iphone, but its tolerable.

Google Voice.
Handcent is pretty good but I went back to using the default messaging app. Just a lot less laggy imo.

Same here. Havent tried any others. Got used to "bite" on the iphone and so gave chomp a try. Always big on the custom text tones for specific contacts. Sure its not the only one with it. But i was used to it so went with it.
I tried of them out last night and ended up deleting all of them. The resolution of the apps were all terrible and did not look good on this super amoled plus screen. Sorry but that bugged me lol.

I use GO SMS Pro
I have try Stock, Chomp, Go SMS Pro, and Handcent. Go SMS Pro by far the best looking and best working SMS application IMO. For those using Handcent check out Go SMS Pro almost the same editing wise but slicker looking.
I use Go SMS Pro and love it. Didn't care for Chomp SMS as much as I did BiteSMS on iPhone.
I'm also using Go SMS Pro. The only downside is if you receive multiple images in a single message, they just show on a single page and you can't save them for Gallery viewing (at least as far as I can tell, lol). In that specific scenario, I switch over to the default Messaging app.
Haven't tried any other apps. The one feature I really like about Go SMS is the Private message box, not sure if that is available in other apps. You can also schedule messages, kind of neat for "texting in sick" early in the AM before the boss-man is awake (and can reply)
Go SMS does not appear to be able to show texts on the lock screen, but I always disabled that feature in iOS so not a concern for me.
I have done some searching and haven't found any results so thought I would put it to the masses...
I am looking for a stock theme dialer without the visual voice mail button as I don't have that service.
I was able to find one when running MHX GB superlite 3.1 that only required to be flashed in cwm but haven't been able to find one for the ULCE2 leak.
If anyone has come across one or is able to modify the current dialer let me know
I have included a screenshot of what I am hoping to find.
Thanks in advance.

+1000 Internets if someone can let that vvm button ask me for a default program, so I could say chose between att vvm or my personal favorite, Google voice.

I don't really want to start a war of the texting world. But what are your preferences for texting apps and why?
Hand cent, GO, etc.
Thanks all. Just want friendly discussion.

hate em all. only one I like is the stock android one. i do use handcent, but only for the emoji. if the stock sms app got an addon for that I would switch back in a heartbeat.

AOKP has a stock ICS SMS app that has Emoji. I love it.

Although it has a large footprint like Handcent, GoSMS is terrific for a lot of reasons. First, it has two plugin downloads for emoticons/Emojis. It comes with standard happy/sad/confused faces, but one plugin adds elaborate faces, symbols and icons (probably close to 300) and are much more detailed. The second plugin adds something like large vector art.
And some may be asking "how can my recipient get these things in their messages if they are not supported--or if one of these items turns the message into an MMS?
Well that's the most nifty thing about it. It had a service that is linked to the app which routes it around their servers and straight to your recipient as a data-based MMS. In other words, even if you cannot typically send MMS because your APN is wrong or whatever, this app makes sure your texts get through...essentially it's an SMS-over-IP service. Plus, your recipient does not need to have it installed.
Lastly GoSMS can be infinitely skinned. I am not sure what Handcent can do, but I use images for the background of my conversations list and my actual conversion (which can be customized for each recipient). It also scans all other apps for any fonts it can use, and offers them to be used as part of the UI..

I prefer GoSMS. I don't like the stock sms client and originally used Handcent until it started force closing all the time. If this had not start happening, I would probably still use handcent. GoSMS is highly customizable which I like.
I'm using the inverted AOSP Stuff out of this forum from he_stheone64. Because it's look very smart and clean for me and it's much easier to handle than this htc sense stuff..
thats my opinion why I had chosen them.
