Is there any siri like app in the works by Google or HTC for android?
I know there are some in the market, and svoice but none of them are really that great. Tbh siri doesn't seem that great either..
Thanks!

Voice assistant is really just for guys like Stevie Wonder..
Google is making one called Majhel (spelling may be wrong) its supposed to make siri look like a kiddies VTECH toy,I'd expect it in Android 16.0.4
I use Assisstant by Speaktoit. Free on the market. It's very good I use it for everything. Try it. You can customize everything

Somebody else who knows
Anyway it was supposed to release it at the end of 2011/ the beginning of 2012 but apparently they decided to delay it to q4 of this year for improvements.

I can see them saying q1 2013 then q1 2014 and so on and on and on...
Also you can install Vaja TTS engine, better voice than google tts that sounds robotic. Its a Thai TTS engine but also works perfectly with english. You could try just dont hate the accent . Im also using it coz its free.
There is a artificial intelligence called iris siri spelled backwards. It's in infant stage now but is available at play store. Hope this helps.

+1 been using Speaktoit for months and it just keeps getting better with the developers many updates!
Try Samsung S-Voice.
Elegancia sense 4 v 2.2.0 includes it.

theres another one in the Play Store called Skyvi. works pretty well, and gets regular updates
Try one called aivc. I only started using it about five minuted ago and it is amazing.

Android: Notification via voice and confirmation prior to read out
Hi Guys:
Can you guide me to any app that currently has the feature of 'speaking' out new notifications received (all notifications received in the notification bar of android: text messages, calls, emails, Viber/Whatsapp messages, calendar appointments, social media updates etc.).
The requirement is firstly to 'speakout' there is a new notification from xyz and then ask a confirmation to read out the actual message. Not just reading out the message directly.
This feature gives more control over the text to speech functionality and the user can make a choice of either just knowing that there is a new notification or go ahead and also hear the message part.
Appreciate suggestions.
Cheers!

i personally hate the update.. no changes to the UI or the lockscreen or nothing,... u shouldnt have to D/L other programs just too change the UI, the update should do that.. just my personal opinion
I did the update and I seen a lot of changes Like speed when you install aps they added some more setting and the phone don't lag speed increase
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
The only reason i updated was for gingerbread and quicksettings. Speed-wise it seems to be about the same as froyo.
I agree with you on the speed. Everything seems to fun better. Like browsing cnn.com on desktop mode. Before the update it would lag pretty bad for me while scrolling. Also noticed that using my bluetooth headset works better.
It would have been nice to see changes to the default UI but I am totally happy with the update.

Why would they change the ui?
Take a minute and think about it. How many people have this phone and do nothing to mod it... or have any clue how to.
So... if they changed the ui from what the phone was sold with... do you think the average dumbass human would take the time to learn.... or just take the phone in or call freaking out.
You don't buy a car then expect a new paint job when you took it in for an oil change do you?
Just saying. Topics like this make me want to boat over a dolphin and club a baby seal.

do any of your guys facebook contacts sync with your phone book contact after the update?
lol, facebook won't sync with 2.3.4 facebook refuses to follow the android standard, google gave them a ”grace period” to comply and they haven't so it's not going to work until facebook gets off their high house. I lol because this is really old news, guess you don't follow tech blogs/sites

My facebook sync's just fine on 2.3.4
From what I have read facebook is going to put out their own o/s for phones. I don't see it going very far though.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Mine syncs fine with 2.3.5 too.
Battery life. AMAZING. I would get 10 hours on froyo. 1gb data a month..web browsing YouTube Facebook etc.. hundreds of texts a day. Push email. Take a couple pics a day with flash.sync and auto brightness on. Occasional GPS.
16 hours of battery life. 11am - 3am. Wow. Today I only charged it a little to 65%. I got 9-10 hours from that with the same usage.
If I use it from 7am on, im confident it'll be on low battery at 11pm, rather than after dinnertime.
lucky bastards

Runs fine on the One S! Not sure it will make me switch from Google Currents though, Currents works pretty well since the last update.
Sent from my HTC One S
Yes, it does run fine on the S but like you prefere Google currents,since new update it runs really smooth on the S
I don't use Currents, but FlipBoard is much better than the official Facebook app, hands down. It actually loads photos, every time. The same can't be said about the FB app.
Although, I cant figure out how to customize my news sources, or types of news (Tech, Stocks, Regional etc.). Any help?

Nor the xda app to be fair.

Has anyone been able to get Ivona to work
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
nope. it's still freezing my phone so i moved to (and paid for) SVOX.
I had a black screen also, but when I was rooted, I went to the cleanrom beta then tried it and it worked fine... Weird. I think it's something loaded that was frozen in the cleanrom

thanks for the tip! i'm on cleanROM 2.1 and it's working fine now. even thought i purchased SVOX, i prefer Ivona Voice... i'll keep SVOX just in case Ivona hiccups again, lol
I hear a lot of good things about svox, but honestly ivona plus eva, is amazing and close to siri

Just my opinion: Siri sounds like crap compared to both svox and Ivona. But ivona freezes my phone so that's a no go. I'm on stock rooted 1.82. Interesting it is reported working on clean Rom.

honestly.. i am not sure what ivona is hanging on.. but it freezes and black screens on stock.. i dont know why. i do know however, that if you use the cleanrom.. i used the first one, i am sure its the same with newer, not sure... but if you do then it works awesome.. i got dropsync and eva to both work after using the cleanrom..
S4 users are reporting the problems solved, but on the T3 models it's still broken.
Working great on mine, had been using svoz for a year or so, just tried ivona and love it.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I had issues while stock, but running it just fine on Sick Sense.
Oh yeah. Been running ivona for about a month wonderfully. I just hate to type my email every time I flash a new rom to download it again, even when the files are still present on the device.
I can't wait to try that new google search I saw demoed on techno buffalo though. I hope there's a way to rip it from the jelly bean and make it available as a flashable zip or apk.

I just wish Google would be a little more transparent on these matters. I have been hearing about majel for so long now and I suppose I should have figured that it would be for ICS or above, but to find that it is just for JellyBean really sucks. Their website says that it is "currently" only for 4.1 . Does that mean it will be made available for older OS's? Is this being done just to sell more new phones? Come on Google, just tell us what your plans are.
its most likely for 4.1 only...
even though it has already been ported to 4.0 and its semi working on my galaxy sii.
I cant wait to get 4.1, working google now, working offline voice recognition and it working in my language (dutch)
We can't port all JB goods to ICS or GB Because of kernel.

If any of you remember the early days of Android, Google did the same thing once before. When the original Droid was launched, it was the first Eclair device and launched with Maps Navigation. All those of us with the G1 (or other devices running Donut) were left drooling and wondering why Navigation was a 2.0 exclusive feature. Then, a month or two later, the update was added to the Market for us all. And there was much rejoicing.
Soooooo...here's hoping they do the same with Now. Maybe it's 4.1 only for now so they can iron out bugs? Who knows. But they seem really determined to make Now a hit, so it wouldn't surprise me to see it eventually released for older OS versions.
Lol google can be ported to ics and it's fully working! I had tested it with a custom rom on the x10i

Try Maluuba from the Play Store or utter!. Maluube has more of a Now feel and utter! is more for device control. I use both (Maluuba much, much more) on Gingerbread and they are both extremely fast. They beat out S*** on the i***** in both number of functions and speed. Both are reliable. Enjoy!

If your on Gingerbread, I think it's worth it to upgrade to JB if any developers support your rom. You'll probably see major deferences in ways such as battery life, UI Beauty, etc..

But unfortunatelly none of this actually work. Can not even trigger utter to listen my command.
This is either a problem with user setting configuration, or is due to the fact that the application is still in beta. Try messing. With the settings. The way it is normally triggered is by holding the search key down.
And maluuba pretty much never has problems... Trouble shoot a little and try to figure it out. I'd like to help, just I don't have enough info to go off of to help.

Installed fine on mine.
Took me about 10 minutes to realize I didn't want to use it, but it installed and ran fine.
Having this exact same problem on my HOX aswell.
Might I ask what region you're trying to install from? (UK, US, etc?)
And also which region the last poser successfully installed from?
EDIT : It turns out it is only vailable in the US for now, but as a UK user like myself you can actually use the app by downloading it's .APK directly from this site : www (dot) androidpolice.com/2013/04/12/facebook-home-starts-showing-up-on-the-play-store-available-for-select-devices/
It seems to be working fine atm.
I can download and install the app, but Home says that my device is unsupported
I'm using CM 10.1, so that might be related to why it thinks I don't have a One X. Any ideas?

Thanks! It worked =)
I was trying from Mexico (My HOXL is the AT&T version, though)
Running CM 10.1 also and I would imagine thats why it isn't supported. Maybe on a sense based ROM out there it would work.
From what I've seen, it apparently does some checks (build.prop maybe) to ensure it's on an officially supported device. AOSP roms likely interfere with that.
I'm on stock rooted and can't even find it on the store. I have the new play store, so I don't know.

Epically horrible!!!!!! I'm a little surprised how its being received by some as a phenomenal launcher. The reviews in the playstore say it all, though I am glad to see Facebook embracing the Android platform. Too many steps to get to your apps, for me it seems counter productive.

Looking at official videos, it seems like an overlay on the phone. Kind of like the HTC Facebook phone (cha cha or status, I think). Not a big fan, but if someone has a fully functional app running, can you let us know your thoughts.

I experimented with it a little yesterday and it really does take away a lot of the android feel -- No Widgets or anything its all Facebook. I do like chat-heads I think thats pretty awesome but you can get that with just Messenger so I just stuck with that. I was a little concerned about my privacy with facebook integrating my SMS as well. Call me paranoid but Facebook has been iffy about their privacy policies in the past...then again, I guess many of the web-based services I use aren't known well for protecting user privacy. In any event, I do think the launcher is smooth and is actually a cool concept, but complete removal of the widgets is what got me.

So this is best for Facebook heavy users, not android. You might just want to stick with the app. Question, can you revert on the flip? Like an on/off switch
