[MOD] Bluetooth Voice Dialer - Compatible With Any Rom

All credit goes the great mike1986. as this was taken from his thread.
Thanks to him Ive successfully been able to fix the bluetooth voice earpiece feature that was not working on the Rom in the signature.
Ive flashed my share of Froyo Roms and it seems that a lot of them have the same problem as well as some Gingerbread maybe.
The idea is to push the call/end button on your bluetooth connected earpiece to do various call related features without having to grab your phone, its all controlled via voice command.
Many people have been looking for a fix for this.. well here it is.
Directions:
Flash via CWM, reboot and you should have the feature fully functional.

Additionally here is a video on the Voice Actions for Android, NOTE: This is different from the Bluetooth Voice Dialer as it has additional features

Wow, this is fantastic. I was following the info posted in that AR 3.2 thread, so I'm happy to see something posted.
I'll give this a try tonight.

I'm running RCMix 5.3 and the BT voice dialer works alright for me. Do I need this fix? The one thing I'd really like from the current ROM for BT voice dialing is to have a tone to cue me when the applet is ready to listen.

I am running AR 5.1.3. Voice dial works fine from the phone but when I try to initiate it from my bluetooth headset I get a Force Close of processcom.android.voicedialer. I uninstalled voice dialer with TB and then installed the bluetooth voice dialer from this thread via CWM and I still get the force close when initiating from my bluetooth.
Any ideas on how I can fix this other than flashing a new rom?
Okay I just flashed to LeeDroid which claims to have fixed the Bluetooth Voice Dial Problem and I still get a force close when initiating it from my headset.
Anyone have any ideas please????

Wow this is cool to have. Im not having much accuracy though. Ive got a 2 year old Jawbone Prime so my bets are that its the problem. Looks cool but hasnt played nice since day one. Anyhow this does work if you got a decent headset

Did you ever figure this out?

I'm having the same problem and would really like to see this fixed. When I tap the voice dialer app on the phone, it works as it should. However, it always FC when pressing the bluetooth button. I think the settings file associated with connecting the bluetooth button to the app is the problem, but I don't know what file it is or how to make it better.

Download Cyberon Voice from the market. It does cost a couple of bucks but it makes all problem go away on every rom you need BT with. At least for me it did!

Confirmed working with Virtuous Unity 1.24.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid with Vlingo

Man just what I was looking for will give it a try.....Thanks

missing voice dialer
I tried to flash it, and it didn't do anything. I'm using Virtuous Unity v1.27.0. I even tried to extract the app from the zip (which currently doesn't exist on my phone) and install that way, but it says "application not installed". Nothing happens at all when i hit the button on my bluetooth. With the stock rom, before installing VU, it would pull up the voice dialer. But i can't even install it now. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
EDIT: Got it to install, but now it force closes when I try to use it, with or without a bluetooth headset.

awesome!!!!!
I'm running AHD 6.1 but it lacks the ability to let bluetooth headset to do voice command. but after i flashed this it worked out fine!!
and btw im using vlingo to do voice dialing, its an awesome app!!

Will this work with Gingerbread ROMs? mike1986's current DHD/Inspire4G ROM does not support voice dialing via bluetooth. Kind of a pain in the rear not having it!

The post before yours says they're running "AHD" 6.1 with this dialer and it works fine. I'm assuming this was supposed to be ARHD 6.1 which is a GB ROM

Yeah, I wasn't clear. I figured it would work since it worked on the one before, but I wasn't sure if the previous post was confirming 6.1.0 or 6.1.1. So, I'm hoping for 6.1.1 support confirmation so I don't brick this puppy.

6.1.0 was the first version of his new base (2.3.5GB based on HTC 3.06.405.1)
6.1.1 is the same base with updates/enhancements from mike1986. I can't imagine this would bork you. If you're too worried, make a backup. This isn't going to brick your phone to a point where you can't get to recovery and flash your backup

Right. That was my assumption and my plan once I got home tonight to do that assuming no-one confirmed it for me. Will flash after while and edit post with results.

I flashed this to arhd 6.1.1. It don't work. App did not appear to be installed. I tried installing the apk and it would just say application not installed.
So it appears to be a no go.

[Q]Gchat Video Chat No Sound Input to GChat video on PC

I updated to the latest 2.3.4 and have tried calling two different people on their computers from my Nexus S using the video chat. They were running the GChat Video in their web browsers. Neither one of them could hear me talk. Is anyone else having this issue? Did I flash incorrectly or something? Everything else works fine.

It might sound stupid/obvious, but never the less, please confirm that you did not mute the mic by touching the mic icon accidentally.

I had the same thought so I clicked it a couple of times. On or off, no sound.

GTalk broken in Browser
The issue only seems to be with some of my friends computers. I had a friend install the latest plugin for voice and video chat and he could hear me just fine. Maybe they have an old plugin?

[Q] Best experience to make microphone working with VOIP

Hi everyone,
While using VOIP other person can't here me. It seems to be due Microphone problem.
It is my first Android device and I have it since one Month so I am not sure what is the best option to fix the problem:
- Try Factory reset and hope it will help
- Buy BT Headset
- replace firmware with Kyrillos and use Voodoo Control
- send phone back and ask to fix it.
other suggestions?

Is it with just one application or all apps? If you used just one app, try some others and see if the problem persists

It's not your microphone that fail here, but it's rather a misconfiguration of your VOIP app. Try keyword NAT and STUN for your search.
A simple test would be to check with a real mobile call wether the mic is working or not.
Fred.

I tried Skype, MobileVOIP, and couple of other VOIP clients. In all cases the other party can not hear me. The only thing that is working is sound test in Nimbuzz. If I start it and start other VOIP client in parallel then everything is working but the quality is poor. I guess Nimbuzz's voice test is switching on the Microphone or increase it's sensitivity somehow. It is a pity that Nimbuzz does not support my VOIP provider.

Thank you very much! It works! I installed 3CX App and entered STUN server of my VOIP Provider.

Unfortunately I still have problem. The outgoing audio quality is very poor. So other person can not understand me at all. Initially I though that it is due to connection. But this proble is stay several days and same with different SIP Clients. I found post saying that update to CyanogenMod solved this problem. As far as I know the best ROM for SG3 is Kyrillos. My question is: If I change my original ROM to Kyrillos will I be able to use Factory reset and return back to Original ROM without any problems? Somehow I did not find much about this on the net. It is may be due to the fact that nobody want to change back.

[MOD] Google Talk video chat over 3G

Theres an app in market called Enable Video Chat over 3g/4g that worked for me

I was never able to get a session going but it allowed me to attempt. Did anyone actually get video going?

did you root your phone before trying the app?

Yes you must be rooted to make this change or use the Enable app.

My atrix is rooted and I did enable gtalk over 3g, however whenever I calling out, the recepient receives the call, but on my end it never get connected. When I receive a call, it seems like the video started (I see myself), but no other side video nor audio, actually there is audio, but it's like dialup sound - craclking and squicking. After few minutes of this the call drops.
Can anyone confirm it actually works?
P.S.
Just did factory restore, then root and tried gtalk - same problem. Through Wifi it works fine.
[EDIT]
hmmm after reboot its fixed itself...

My setting constantly reverts itself back to true, any way to fix that?

grove ip

After the 4.1.2 update talkatone stopped working right. It locks up the whole tablet. And groove ip wont work at all. Did another factory reset but still screwed up. anyone else having these problems?
ok well ive uninstalled, reinstalled google voice and talkatone 4 or 5 times. ive done 3 to 4 factory resets, ive restored my note with cwm to 4.1.1 and all works great. redownload the 4.1.2 and all goes bad again. you can use talkatone 1 or 2 times then it locks up the tablet and sets it on vibrate to boot. same with groove ip now. has anyone made several calls from talkatone or groove and it workes right?

Did u ever get groove ip to work on 4.1.2?

I've posted in the longer voip thread in the general section, too. Csipsimple works on JB 4.1.2. I had been using Sipdroid but it was a source of system crashes on JB so I deleted it. Download the additional free Csipsimple codecs as well. I have no issues with audio on incoming or outgoing calls and it's actually using less battery power than Sipdroid, which wasn't really a power hog. I have my Google voice setup with pbxes and there are no issues with registration.

I can get GrooveIP working, but Talkatone completely locks up my tablet. Can't even shut it down. It finally reboots after I lean on the power key for a couple of minutes (NK). It's annoying enough that I'm uninstalling it, and it's going NOWHERE near my phone.
But GrooVeIP worked fine for a while, including this afternoon. Not behaving tonight, but I think it's Hangouts, blocking calls to other GV clients. Tried signing out completely, but it's still wonky. Rings, and appears to answer, but on the outgoing end there's just constant ringing and then voicemail. I'll take it up again tomorrow, perhaps, because I like having the wifi phone.

And this is why I bought the N8000 with phone calls enabled....:laugh:

I've been running GooveIP on JB 4.1.2 without any problems on my GT-N8013. Even with the update to Hangouts.
Now I am running GloryROM for GT-N8000 / GT-N8013: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273892 using the instructions to install on GT-N8013. This leaves the phone & messaging functions in place, and that could have some effect on why it works just fine. I do use the built in phone to do the calls as well.
If you are using a N8013 rom without the phone functions, I wonder if that could be the cause of it not working on JB 4.1.2. Since something might have been removed with the phone functionality that causes the problems. But can't say without a lot more testing and looking into everything.

Wow, Niscandia, thanks! I'll take a look at this. Like I noted above, GrVIP used to work just fine, even after JB. Seemed to go off the rails with Hangouts, but I'm no longer convinced of an association. I've learned to get along without GrooVe now, so I hadn't pursued this much lately. But I'd like to fix it, so I can help trouble shoot for other folks, so I'll take a look at this. BTW, I'm using an GT-N8013.
