Bump. I would like to know this too

I just bought Loquendo TTS Susan. I suggest you check it out, it sounds to me like exactly what you're looking for.

Good job. Purchased.

Miui ringtone problem work around found

Ok been messing around trying to get a ringtone to work for a while know and I found a rather odd way to get one working. Ok so first you will need to go to settings - programs - calls and then turn off third party. Not sure why off and not on but whatever. Now download full screen caller Id from market. You need to go into settings - text to speech and make sure you select for it to be used when in silent and vibrate. I then setup to have a video ringtone. Now you need to press down on volume till ringer is off and then if done right you should now have a ringtone when you get a call. I know its not the best work around but figured I would share till someone has something better.

You should have posted this in the general section.

Crap sorry man wasn't sure were to put it but I guess that makes the most sense now lol.

Actually you should have posted this in the MIUI thread in Q&A but who cares. Thanks for the workaround. Hopefully will see a working kernel for this bad boy to make workarounds absolete.

I mean absolutely no offense to OP but can anyone using the miui rom confirm this? Got sweet child of mine set up to my liking and am reluctant to flash another rom for an unconfirmed work around. Been wanting miui for awhile but, really don't want to bother with flashing it just to have to flash back. Been there, done that already. Thanks.

I agree with booboo773, last time someone said they found a work around I flashed back to MIUI and it didn't work. I would like some additional confirmation on this before flashing back from Sweet Child Of Mine, so if anyone else can confirm this please let us know. Thanks!

I just flashed miui last night to try to find a workaround as well.. will post feedback in a bit
Edit
ok well i used your idea and found an easier way. Theres an app called Video Caller ID (free).
its much easier to set up. and your right about the Third Party option in call settings.
Also, i think the video should be in .mp4 format. i only have .3gp and .mp4 to test, and .3gp didnt work so..
Another thing is setting volumes in Settings-Personal-Sound-All Volume.
I turned Call volume all the way down, and the Media all the way up.
I can stop missing calls now and enjoy a stupid fast ROM!

I still get sms ringtone... odd.
My phone is not on silent mode. I just turn the call volume down, everything else up. Most importantly the media volume, as Video Caller ID uses the Media volume.

I'm using mp4. An easy way to make a tone is to download with tubemate and you can trim with vidtrim both apps are free in the market.

Weird, video caller id won't load any video, it sees them in mp4 format but when I click on the "make default" slider and go to select a video the app won't load it as a default. ....I do get other text to speech caller id aps to work.

Dragon speech recognition

Has any one tired the new Swype? It has dragon speech on it. It is 100 times better then google voice search. Is there any way to pull that out of Swype and make default voice recognition? Thanks

As in what you use when you press the search button or for absolutely everything? (ex: third party app integration)

Yea to replace google voice search. Try the voice texting it is actually
Pretty good

It's very accurate, but you need data active to use it. I wonder why that is?

Someone is looking for a Yahoo Fantasty Football app....with better UI

Okay how about an app that uses your phone's GPS to find all grocery stores in your area. From there you can type in the name of an item and it would cross reference the prices of all the surrounding stores and give you a list of all the prices. With the economy being in the crapper and money getting tight, it seems like it could be a killer app.

Google Maps + Google Shopper already do this to the best knowledge they can as stores do not show all food costs online.

since you say u r new, i suggest you to go for an idea which has already been made and put your flavor on it, once you get your hands on it, u can make something original. I like a fully functional app that uaes the proximity sensor to operate differnt functions, there is already an app, but it has flaws

Sport speaker an app that send you a push notification of your team scores, it with holo style.
For example you mark an sport, an league or one team (in the different competitions) what would you like and the app sent you a push notification with the score at the end of the match

Make a good porn app.

An animated nyan cat widget (with a mute toggle) would be nice...

Haha I was thinking in some app what make raffles. For example: many people get together at an raffle, then each person gives their numbers to participate, then your Android randomly chooses a number and sends a SMS to the winner.
You can read the numbers from a file.

Clock in notification panel
Hi, I would like to see a clock developed which would sit in the notification panel. There would be an optional icon displayed in the status bar.
I like to keep my wallpaper clean and it would be useful to drop the notification panel down and see a customizeable digital clock. It should open the alarm or calendar When tapped.
Good luck with any project undertaken.

I was just thinking of an app that help me make a reminder for bill, and it must support taking OCR of the bill details.
I know there is one in the market, but doesn't work like what I want.
It should work like the business card reader, where it knows which part is a person's name, which part is the company, which part is the address, the phone, the email, so on and so forth.
This bill app should let me "scan" the bottom part of my bill with the camera, where the payment details are (account number, amount, due date) and set a reminder for me on my google calendar.

i dont think is a hard thing to do but i think is always dependent to the app you use to play music, but is something i can see also.
The main idea of this post is to get ideas base on the needs of nowadays. Like when we are on the street, and we need that app for knowing the nearest grocery or something else wich could make our life easier. If anyone has time to think a little on what they need most, and think is missing, or an app wich they dont think is easy enought, thats mostly what i want to start building. I really liked some ideas here already stated, just 1 more week and i'm ready for building apps.
About porn apps , maybe after the serious stuff for fun lool

What about an app that shows any combination of chosen apps in tabs?
For example, you can put your favorite calendar app and your favorite task planner app in a single tabbed layout.
Or your music player and last.fm scrobbler.
Or Whatsapp, K9 Mail, and your SMS app all in a single three-tabbed meta messaging app.
Or Skype and Viber.
Etc.
It wouldn't take a lot of coding. You just need some code to frame other apps in yours, a settings screen to choose which apps you want to see, and a way to send a shortcut to your home-made app combo to your homescreen. If it's your first app it's a good idea to keep it simple.

Google Now Android Dialer *Concept Prototype*

This is something I have been playing around with in my down time - and is very much still a work in progress. You can check it out and tap through it here
http://goo.gl/8Q4y2
Works best by visiting on your android phone with chrome beta...
I believe you can do the following:
• Tap the text field to enter a number, then delete that text
• Tap the header of the event card to view the card behind it
• Tap any card to call a contact, tap call button to call, and end button to end call
• Tap the microphone inside the text field to launch the fake speak recognition

really nice, looking forward to it!

Looking good! Hope you get a working build soon

Well, it's not actually getting made, it's not a real product - it's just a concept idea.
I'm pretty sure that there is only one company around that could make it - if you're curious who that is, just "something it."

I am sure if you pitched this to a dev they would go this. It really looks awesome. I would love to try to develop this but my java skills with android are developing still
