Yes, Almost 3 days in a week I used it for this purpose.
Currently I am using Audio Evolution Mobile. It’s a multi-track audio recorder, a cut-down (yet better-looking) version of DAW Audio Evolution 5 for Windows. And it even supports USB audio interfaces (via USB Audio Recorder PRO, which would have its own entry on the list if only I had the gear with which to test it). but before that i was using Voice Pro.
Personally I suggest if you are looking for it, go for Voice Pro.:good:

Windows Voice Recorder
My old Touch 3G had a Voice Recorder software built in the original ROM, that you can't find in TD2. I've tried to copy the shortcut of Record from Windows/appbuttons to Windows/Start Menu/Programs and assigning a hardware button, but it doesn't work!
Can someone share the application from Touch 3G? I've sold mine.

BlueSTAR 2010 Module (Bluetooth OnStar Replacement)

Alright. Here's my new project, integrating CoStar Technologies' BlueSTAR 2010 module into my 2008 Pontiac G8 GT to work with my Nexus One.
http://www.costartech.com/pb/products/bluestar.html
I was going to wait for the car dock but what could be better than pushing a button on my steering wheel/rear view mirror and using the voice search function of the Nexus One? Not sure if I'll get system wide voice search, I kind of expect it to only work with the voice dialing functions of the phone but either way I'm really looking forward to it. From my understanding the A2DP streaming isn't fully functional yet but that will be really sweet once they get that part implemented. I'll keep everyone updated with how it goes and also provide some pics and videos. These devices are supposed to work in all 2002 & up GM vehicles that have OnStar.
I am getting ready to order one too for my G8, gonna use it with the G2.
From what I see on their twitter posting, they are beta testing writing the caller ID to the DIC, so might get that soon as an update.
Hope it works as well as advertised.
Any updates on these projects? Interested for my Impala
I gilot mine and installed it. Only works with built in voice dialer from HTC. Looks like the voice search app does not publish itself as Bluetooth.
The device works great but the voice dialer can be finicky.
Have not found a solution yet, but can tell you Vlingo does not work well through bluetooth.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
good luck...............
They released an update. It now has caller ID on the DIC.
Now if only the voice dialer worked better on the G2
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
Works decently in my g8, recently switched to an evo and still works great with cm7, a2dp soon
I am pretty sure the problem is the phone. The G2 uses HTC's default voice dialer instead of Google's voice control, and it is just not as accurate.
Will the audio work through the bluetooth to the stereo to listen to music?
No..
the Onstar integration is calling only.. the module has a 1/8" jack thatallow you to plug into an aux port.
Given that there is no bluetooth stereo streaming that remotely sounds as good as a wire, its better to connect the phone w a cable..

[Q] Music Player that supports A2DP?

Don't know if this is the right place to post this, so move it if it's not.
I have a Desire HD with MIUI and i'm looking for an app that supports A2DP. I think the stock HTC Sense player supports it, but i'm not sure. But i can't use it now since, well, MIUI. I've searched for A2DP on the Market, but didn't find anything special.
So does anyone have some ideas on how i can get this to work?
Thanks in advance
I think you are looking for "mort player"
The built in Android music app should work just fine...as well as apps like WinAmp... I can't imaging any media app now days that wouldn't.
I have HD bluetooth stereo headphones and they work just fine using any media app.
Thanks Trying to connect to the car stereo. Gonna try Mort Player and some other ones.

AD2P isn't something that is based on the music player being used. It is based on the device hardware. If their bluetooth hardware supports it, then it will work. The only aspect of AD2P that I believe is controlled with the software are the playback controls.
If you are hooking up to your car audio, it might have to do with the car's bluetooth hardware/software. Sometimes you can take your car to the dealer and they can install software/driver updates for your car's bluetooth. May try calling them and seeing if there is an update for your car.
I have the Desire HD, and it supports A2DP. I'm trying to connect it to Pioneer FH-P80BT (Clicky) which supports Bluetooth audio aka A2DP.
I'm running MIUI btw.
Then in theory it should work just fine. If it simply won't work no matter what you try with your phone...then contact the dealer and see if there is an update for your car's audio software.
I'll test it further tomorrow and see if it works
I thank you all for your replies
And yes, i'll press the thanks button when i'm around a computer

Hello ppl, sorry to revisit this again, but I have Miui on my DHD with a Motorola HT820. For some reason the BT audio for call work great, but audio streaming will start and then drop out (no sound, but the music player is still going), then suddenly the BT connection will drop. Any ideas?
On the Sense 3.0 this function works fine. Just to make sure its not the headphones, I paired it with my Iphone 4 and that too worked flawlessly. Could there be a bug related to the Miui port for DHD?
Thanks for any help
Since this is MIUI related it might be better to ask in a MIUI thread

Android Auto compatible music players

So far I've found two music players besides Google Music and Spotify that sync with Android Auto. They are RocketPlayer and JetAudio. I uploaded 5 gig of music to my phone in case I'm out of data range for Spotify. Spotify is my preference since the audio streaming bit rate is much better than itunes backups.
Shuttle works with AA. Edit: works with Automate not AA. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm running AA on my Pixel 2, when I loaded Shuttle it didn't show up in the AA music menu. Spotify, Rocket Player, Jet Audio, and TuneIn Radio all showed up but not Shuttle. Is there another version that is compatble with AA?

You are correct, Shuttle isn't working with AA. I was using it with Automate Car Dashboard on my last phone not AA.

@Matterhorn You can sort the playstore by apps that work with AA. Though I dont think it is a comprehensive list.

I've been trying to set up AA with the best apps etc. both Rocket Player and JetAuio are highly recommended and work with AA, but they each have their own issues. I'm sure they'll get the bugs ironed out in time. AA is relatively new.

I loaded both of those yesterday. The apps are pretty ugly. I don't think I'd use either of those. VLC for Android (beta) works with AA. It has a good layout and there are no adds either. The problem with VLC is it doesn't seem to work with Assistant. You can't say "play Elvis on VLC".

It seems like they all have their issues at the moment. I'm using Rocket Player now because the album art looks better in the AA app. I actually prefer to use Spotify Premium since I have an unlimited data plan, it streams at 320kps. My iTunes backup sounds terrible in comparison to Spotify Extreme quality. I use android assistant with Spotify all the time so I would miss that feature,

You can download your Spotify music to your phone for playback when you don't have service.

Amazon music works, but only if you download from Google play. Amazon music from the Amazon app store does not work. It's weird... But since I pay for prime already, I like to use it...

My favorite for local music is Sony Music. It takes a little work to get it installed and working though. First you have to find the app on XDA that has been altered to not check your build.prop for a sony device (there are several). I'm using the app from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/app-xperia-app-stock-rom-t3263403
Then the problem is Android Auto will not work with a sideloaded app. To fix that you need ADB shell:
adb push Sonymusic.apk /sdcard/Download/Sonymusic.apk
adb shell pm install -i "com.android.vending" -r /sdcard/Download/Sonymusic.apk
adb shell rm /sdcard/Download/Sonymusic.apk
Skip the first command if its already on your phone. You need to use the phones package installer for this, so the apk needs to be on the phone somehow. Change the file paths and file names to suit your install.
This works with other sideloaded apps if you're into that sort of thing (Pandora, Spotify, etc) ahem
It's 2 min of work from a computer, but it's the best experience for me. I tried every Android Auto compatible music player I could find. Sony did it right IMO.

Hey, thank you for the tip. I just installed the Sonymusic.apk. It is much faster and nicer looking, it behaves very well in AA and remembers where it left off. :good:
Would having a stereo that supports Android auto play my Spotify music over usb? Would i be a me to get a stereo that supports AOA 2 and also accomplish the same thing? Trying to find a better option than Bluetooth but my current stereo doesn't support Spotify over USB on Android.

It should. In mine, spotify over usb (through Android Auto) sounds noticeably better than spotify over bluetooth in the same car. When you connect to Android Auto, my oem stereo also makes a bluetooth connection to the phone which confused me. Apparently bluetooth is still used for the HFP (hands free protocol ie phone calls) between the phone and headunit. All A/V traffic is supposed to be handled via USB.
Not sure about AOA. I haven't used a stereo that I could get usb audio from android phone to headunit successfully. Too bad iPhones work great with lots of radios via Lightning...
One HQ option to consider is Astell&Kern's aptX HD BT receiver.
https://www.worldwidestereo.com/pro...le-bluetooth-amplifier-with-dac-4vb100-cmbl01
My car's head unit is decent Pioneer, but bt audio sucks. I used to use a wire from iphone, but that does not work well from Pixel 2. So I got one of these and plugged it in to aux input. Way better sound quality than iphone wire ever delivered, despite it being BT. (Same goes for with headphones also.) If you are not familiar with them, A&K makes audiophile-quality sound gear.
Android allows you to have two BT connections at the same time. So I have one direct to car stereo for phone calls, and separate one for audio.
I use the Spotify app from phone to control it. (Tidal sounds a little better, but it's app is not nearly as car-friendly as Spotify, which lets you change songs without looking.)
Is it possible to modify any .apk to work to work with AA, I'm disappointed because I wanted to go give it a try after hearing good things, but If I can't use the player I desire it's kind of silly. I can handle trading in waze, but I'd like to find a way to get the n7player.apk working with it.

Thanks for this ... been playing with Sony Music for the past few days and you're right about how good it is. One question, I installed the release version using your instructions and now want to update to the beta. Is it the same set of instructions? Or (because I'm at work) is there a way to update without using ADB?

Cool man. Yea you will have to use adb for the beta as well. Assuming the beta contains android auto (I would think it does) everything should work.
The whole point of installing it this way is to fool your phone into thinking the app was installed from the play store (com.android.vending). Installing any other way will make it a sideloaded app, removing Android Auto capability.
If you have any trouble installing, uninstall the original Sony Music, then install the beta with the adb instructions.

Thanks ... what I thought (but was hoping wouldn't be the case ....).
I use Plex. It can play local or stream from your PC. And it can sync your PC music to your phone.
Since our phones support multiple Bluetooth codecs, it's possible to get decent sound through BT. It depends on your car's available codecs. My BMW supports AAC, so my Pixel 2 connects to my car with AAC. I just bought the i.tech H2 earbuds that supports Aptx-HD and LDAC. LDAC sounds amazing! When cars start using these new codecs, bye bye wires.
