[Q] ROMS that support BT Voice?

I just finished installing all the stereo parts in my car only to find out that my Captivate won't work with the voice dialing of the stereo. I guess it's the phone's fault as my wife's Focus works just fine as did my old HTC Pure. She won't trade phones with me so I'm stuck trying to find a ROM that has this.
With Samsung stating it will be fixed (added) in 2.2.1; does that mean only the 2.2.1 ROMS will have this feature? I'm currently running Cognition 4.3.1 and it does not have it; but would like to only try new ROMS that have it. What ROMS do have the feature?
Thank you for your input.

Firefly supports voice dialing. You have to start the Voice Dialling app and then say the command.

What I'm looking for is what the Droid Incredible has. I paired it to my stereo and when I hit the call button on the stereo; it launched what appeared to be a bluetooth voice dialer application that allowed me to speak into the stereo.
I just tried firefly and it did have that app, but it crashed as soon as I tried it. It also crashed the music app, failed to mount the storage drives, crashed when trying to put it in debugging mode and pretty much was unstable since it booted. I then tried to use one click odin and it went to a blue screen half way through the process. It'll be a fun night.

Probably not what you want to hear, but my BT in the car works great on my 'stock' set up. I think it has more to do with the kernel/ modem configuration than the ROM though.

dragon has this. many people are pairing it with choice dialer.

I can't get Choice Dialer to work well at all. ONe example: "CAll Tom Jones", it says "CAll Tom Jones?", I say "Yes", it says "Try again". Argh...
ANd most of th time it just doesn't understand me at all.

I believe this is the apk you need. I know cog doesn't come with it. This is an old one so I don't know if there is a newer version available but when you pair your bluetooth and hit the voice command on your stereo or bluetooth set, make this the default app when the prompt shows up. It won't give you a voice prompt but if you wait 2 secs and then speak it should dial for you. Only problem is that your phone has to be awake but at least you can use voice commands from your bluetooth set. Just leave your phone plugged in and awake while your in the car. This is the only option I have found.

That worked.
Thank you for the apk. That works.

It's not unusual to be called by anyone
It's not unusual to have a text from anyone
but when I try to use voice dial for anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry

Boy, ain't that the truth. It really chaps me that the one thing that should be solid on a Cell now-a-days is voice dial. Can't believe that OLD OLD technology from Microsoft on Winmo SHINES so much better than Android. Maybe that's the only thing that does, but in my opinion, one of the most important things for a cell phone...at least if you anticipate wanting to use it while driving.

That was a tom jones joke ...

I'm glad the Voice Dialer apk worked. I couldn't get it to work on any Captivate ROMs. Most reoriented i9000 ROMs have a working version, but I find all of the i9000 ROMs to be severely lacking in performance compared to KB1 ROMs.
My preferred solution in either case is to use Bluetooth Launch and Voice Search. Bluetooth Launch can be found here. Run it from the app drawer, it brings up a full list of installed apps and available activities. Choose Voice Search, and then the "VoiceRecognition" activity (must have Google's Voice Search installed first of course). Then, hit your call button, and set Bluetooth Launch as the default activity when it asks. From then on, your call button will launch Voice Actions, which support not only "call <contact>" but also a ton of other commands, including controlling music, text msgs, etc. I love sending texts without touching my phone, and it works flawlessly for me so far.

Bluetooth Voice Dialing [FIX]

So after realizing that my brand new $650 phone did not have bluetooth voice dialing, I decided to do some work.... good news.
HTC did not include the VoiceDialer.apk with the Sensation. Why? No clue!
After getting it here...
http://download615.mediafire.com/m4f6kpd3g06g/mdh1m1x0dzh/VoiceDialer.apk
I was able to prompt my car stereo's Voice Dial button, but the Voice Dial still did not want to work correctly, but... just get ChoiceDialer+ from the market, and all is good.

How did you install the apk I would like to try this before I return the phone. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable, and switch to Disk mode or Mass storage mode or whatever you call it.... drag it onto your phone. Use Astro or Root explorer to navigate to your phones folder, and just open the apk to install, and then restart.
Again, I dont think the voice dialer itself will give you prompts, so get a third party app like ChoiceDialer+

I can't get the voice dialer to repeat what I say for confirmation.
After I press my bluetooth, voice dialer opens up, I say my command, and then a pop-up comes up asking me to press ok or cancel.
Anybody got any luck with this?

I have been using vlingo since launch for bt dialing and works great. The app even has an in car mode and can read texts and emails. Of course you can turn that off as well.
I just use vlingo as my default app when long pressing the search button. So upon a long press, vlingo launches and listens via bluetooth and you can say your command from searching whatever to navigate to wherever to call whomever in your address book. Try it out, it's free. You can always uninstall if you do not like the functionality.

Is there an option for me to press the button on my bluetooth to trigger the app? It is illegal to use the phone while driving up here in Canada.

Make sure voicedialer.apk is installed, and then install a third party voice dialer like Vlingo or Choice Handsfree. You need that voicedialer.apk installed to trigger the prompt when you press the Bluetooth button on your headset... When you press it, it should bring up a prompt asking you which program you'd like to use.

my voicedialer Force closed
after i installed choice dialer, i got the same menu still.
I press my bluetooth, say something, and then on my phone screen, it gives me a prompt as to what to do (in this case, who to call).
I don't want to touch my phone while driving.
The voicedialer app worked perfectly fine with my nexus one with the same bluetooth headset, no idea why it's not working on my sensation.

I think HTC needs to do something about this. I just bought the Sensation yesterday and didn't realize this issue till this morning. I am using the BlueAnt Q2. Call recognition works fine. But using the voice commands on the Q2 is a bust cause the device is no compatible. WTF.

I have the same situation, Q2, Sensation, hopefully a rooted ROM will fix this issue.

Sorted
I have a HTC Desire and have long been frustrated at its inability to voice dial via bluetooth. Last week I was annoyed by HTC's attitude to a Gingerbread update for the Desire, so I took the plunge and rooted my phone, installing Cyanogen mod 7.
Wonderful change, it's like having a new phone! One bonus is that, just today I decided to try voice dialling in my car, and it works perfectly! Paired the phone with my Alpine car radio, pressed the phone button on the radio and up came the message 'voice dialling', I said 'call John' and a female voice replied 'calling John' and there I was speaking, totally handsfree. Miraculous I thought, why couldn't HTC manage that?
So, all credit to Cyanogen for a superb update to my phone and I'll be donating, although it's free.

Same issues here. HTC seems to have rushed this one out the door. Besides the lack of BT voice dialing, I'm seeing hangs/crashes in the phone dialer app, and rapid battery drain when playing games. I wish there was a way to turn off Sense; it really adds nothing to the Android experience and usually gets in the way.

installs fine but keeps force closing and does not work with bt and no confirmation prompts. found vlingo but it does not work with sensation.in fact,the app will lock your phone and you will have to restore phone if you can even manage to get it installed in first place. so please stop telling people to use this app. you should be ashamed of yourself.

you are full of crap. if you claim to be using vlingo on an htc sensation you most certainly are full of it. the app is not available for this model and if you manage to find a work around,it will brick the phone. quit lieing to these nice people.

Its too bad you don't know what you're talking about fattexan. I downloaded VLingo from Android Zoom the first day I had my Sensation and have used it everyday since with a blackberry bluetooth speaker. It has not bricked my phone, caused a force close and anything but work beautifully. And please, don't call me a liar like you've done before. I'd be happy to post pictures to get it through your fattexan head.

I've been reading through the threads and have been most interested in voice dialing. I had it on my HD2 and it was quite useful as I use a bluetooth headset as my primary means of talking on the phone. I just hate holding the phone up to my head. In any case, voice dialing IS possible without using BT. I'm sure most of you know this as all you have to do is hold the search button on the phone for a second to get a voice command prompt pop up where you can simply say "call <contact name>" or "dial <phone number>" and it will do as told. I have no modifications on my phone, it is as stock as stock can come.
With my headsets, it used to be where I held the activate button for a moment, a tone would play in my ear, and a voice would say "say a command". Keep in mind, that was on my HD2. The sensation doesn't come with BT voice dialing by default, it seems, and it does appear that there are work-arounds to it like the apk listed above. In fact, I've seen some relatively talented people figure out how to make things work, that weren't supposed to work in the first place. Also keep in mind that voice dialing and other functions are software based, and simply writing the proper code can overcome pretty much anything.
With that being said, thefattexan, I've seen you call other posters and responders liars, and in this thread alone, you've told someone that they're "full of crap". In all honesty, those comments are not appreciated, and at least one thread was closed by a moderator because of attacks like that.
Let me submit to you, that just because you've never seen or heard of something, does not mean that it doesn't exist. Simply because you could not make it work, does not mean that someone else wasn't able to. Calling someone a liar based only on your own experiences is pretty much out of line, and your behavior is somewhat disgraceful. So I am asking you nicely, to please refrain from that sort of behavior. Maybe if someone says they can do something that you are not able to, rather than call them a liar, ask them how they accomplished it and you may learn something in the bargain. Obviously, they tried something that you didn't, and voila. Otherwise, don't say anything, because carrying on like you do will only result in the moderators banning you.
for those that agree, click the thanks button and show the love.

I have had the same problems with the voice dialer apk. It installs just fine but it force closes when trying to use from the bluetooth headset.
I tried vlingo and some other apps but they are too complicated and usually require some interaction with the phone.
I want it to work just like my Thunderbolt. When my phone is in my pocket I can press the bluetooth call button and be prompted to speak now. The say "call John" and then prompted, "calling john" and the phone dials the number. Very simple and easy to work without any interaction.

I have seen your past posts and I can see you do not play well with others. Man, are you a native Texan? You are the most....well how can I put this...ignorant person here. This is XDA. A place where developers and users help each other troubleshoot things here.
And your great additions to this community? Just badmouthing everyone that does not share your view. Name calling really got you where you are today /sarcasm.
I do not know what your problem is and why you resort to name calling literally everytime you post.
Back to topic and to simply replying to you. I have been the early adopters of vlingo. I even paid for the app when it was first released. I have to say I did indeed install this via market when I got the phone because a week ago the in car setting kept fc'ing on me and I uninstalled and reinstalled the version I found in the market.
The funny thing is I tried looking again on the market and I do see that it is marked incompatible with the Sensation like you said, but I did uninstall the app and reinstalled fresh from the market and not use any restores.
I am done sparring with words with you and you can keep calling me and every one else here names....I don't know maybe you were bullied as a child, not given enough attention as a child, or maybe you found out that the Easter Bunny is a myth *gasp*....
I part with this: Get that stinking cross off your back, use the wood to build a bridge and get the hell over it.....

Just a tip for anyone watching... I had to restart my phone after installing the voicedialer.apk in order for it to respond correctly. THEN I installed the Hands Free Voice dialer.

Voice Dialer

Am I missing something or does the phone really not have "Voice Dialer" on it? That seems kindof nuts?

Not nuts - more Tmo/HTC weirdness
Here you go
***edit 6-23-11
There are mixed reports of Voice Dialer fc'ing when trying to call. The current Voice Search will actually directly dial for me now so I'd go with that or Vlingo seems to be popular if VDialer isn't working.

There was an update to Voice Search a day ago maybe that changed something because Dialer was working for me. The first time I used Voice Search it tried to search google but after making sure my pronunciations were better it worked the same as Voice Dialer was - note that the way Voice Dialer was working was not the same as on my N1 - no calls are getting initiated. Every time it prompts me to do what it thinks I said. I'm not sure if that's cuz it's broken or because it has learned what to expect yet.
Weirdness - just tried VSearch and it direct dials and everything - no need for voice dialer.

When we're rooted (bootloader unlocked) there is a chance that whatever dependency failure is occurring can be resolved in a modded htc s4g stock rom or we can just load up cm7 or hopefully a stock release (my preference).

is there a app that I can use to make the phone hear commands through my Jawbone headset?
I just want to be able to call someone while driving by pressing the voice command button on my headset...
everything else works but the voice command... I can redial with a couple button presses of the headset, answer and hangup calls, ect.
the apk posted works but not through the headset. it hears you from the phone's microphone... not very functional when driving.
plus Google's version that's included in the phone has better speech recognition.
why didn't HTC include this function?

It isn't working as well as I thought it would. After I speak, it pops up a menu and asks me who I want to call. Isn't the idea not to use the phone while driving? No idea why it is not recognizing the speech.

No voice control over bluetooth headset

Hello,
I have a Plantronics 903+ from ATT. They are the around behind the head bluetooth headsets that you can run with. It works great listening to music with pandora, youtube, and listening to calls... The issue i am having is that i cannot do any voice commands. I had a wp7 phone and when i hit the action button, it would say "say a command" and then you would say "phone command" and it would say, "now connecting to your phones built-in voice commands"... That worked as of 3 days ago. When i got this phone, i push the action button and there is just silence. Any ideas what could be wrong? Anybody else have experience w/ a bluetooth headset and voice commands on this phone?
I know its a question but its about accessories so not sure where to put it.

I have the same problem with a Jawbone Icon headset. It appears the HOX doesn't have voice commands built in. I figured they would at least enable Google voice actions through it, but no dice. You might be able to get a 3rd party voice app from Google Play store.

I am also experiencing the same thing with my Plantronics 903 headset. Voice controls worked flawlessly with my iPhone 4 but this isn't the case with the HOX. I'd like to see this feature show up in a later update but, ultimately, I'm happy with a new handset and don't mind losing a little bit of functionality.

Any suggestions on voice control applications?
Just dropped cash on a Jawbone ERA and would like to actually use it to make some calls rather than just receiving them.

i wonder if it's just something else ATT has crippled in the handset, since it seems to work on equlizer's rogers handset.
maybe try flashing the rogers RUU or the asian one and see if that helps?

Vlingo doesn't work either. the US version does not support Bluetooth dialing for some reason. Kind of weird.

I wonder if we could get the google voice commands apk from another phone and try installing it. If there is such a thing.

I haven't tried it yet but check to see if Google Voice Search is installed on the phone. Get it from the market, if not. See if that helps the issue.
I had this issue in the past with another phone.

Search is installed but no go. The voice commands in search work when you push the Mic icon. You can say "call work" for example.
Nothing works from the Bluetooth device however. Funny thing is if you long press the call button on your bt device if will actually dial the last number dialed. That I don't get.
Looks like it's a limitation of the phone. So to make a call via bt it looks like you'll have to touch the screen no matter what app you use. Lame.

I have this same issue with my car's bluetooth. I would have it on and off on other phones, based on the rom.
Is there a bluetooth ninja out there that can help us out? Maybe talk to one of the mod guys like Ken or Paul?

I sent this up to HTC Support and all I got back was a comment on how to use voice actions, open search or a keyboard and push the mic button. Nothing on BT voice commands.
Hopefully one of the ROM chefs will add this back in....

Found this thread in general. My bluetooth is at home, but when i get home ill download the free posted app. If that doesnt work then i may try the paid app in the first post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652362&highlight=bluetooth

After some playing around Vlingo seems to work as a replacement. Let me explain.
If you're running Vlingo and have it set to a listen/wake up command, when you press the call button on your bt device, Vlingo will wake up and say what can I do for you etc.
You can then tell Vlingo to call whomever. I was able to get Vlingo to open the music app, then I hit the call button again, with the music app still open and Vlingo replied with it's what can I do for you.
It's not perfect and to leave Vlingo in a constant listening state(red light in app is on) will drain your battery somewhat. I guess you have to plug it in lol.
Hope that makes sense.

I believe this is an issue in ICS. When I upgraded a HTC Vivid to ICS, it lost bluetooth voice controls.

I tried both apps referenced in that thread I posted. Didn't like ether. Vlingo is what I used before. I like it but I cant seem to get it working by using my bt headset.

What happened to the voice dialer?

Hello Everyone,
Searched here, googled a bit and even spammed HTC's wall. No joy. What happened to the voice dialer? I installed ICS OTA update a few weeks ago and I noticed it was missing after getting into the car and being unable to dial a number using my bluetooth.
So what gives? Why did they get rid of the dialer and simultaneously make my bluetooth speaker useless?
Thanks.

Here is a quick and dirty flash package I put together on my phone for you. It will say it's installing EQS for my rom, but it will install voice dialer pulled from CM9. Voice search will perform dial functions as well...
This is unsigned so you may have to disable signature verification in recovery...

It didnt work. Upon selecting the number to dial it would say "Unfortunately, Voice Dialer Has Stopped".
However, some googling lead me to this one. After me saying Call XXXXXX it shows me the name I asked for and whatever number, mobile or home, I can select it and it dials. However, it does not say "Speak Now". So I installed Android Speech Synthesis from the play store and upon opening that, it crashes.

More testing.
With my bluetooth speaker connected it will start voice dialer and ask for instructions. I say who I want to dial and it dials. Awesome. However, it does it only once. After ending the fist call and initiating another the phone will just sit with the dialer hanging on "starting up". I need to reboot the phone to make another call using the dialer.
Why is this so god damn difficult.

Any luck yet?

Have you come up with a fix yet?
I downloaded the voice dialer APK, but all I get is "Unfortunately, Voice Dialer has stopped. OK."
Well, it is not OK.
