[Q] Voice Dialer STILL not working on android 4.2.2

Words fails me. I am so disgusted I have ran out of expletives so I won't bother repeating them here. Seriously...voice dialer is STILL not working! This update was specifically designed to fix this bug and it is still not working. I just can't understand what is so hard about putting back in functionality that was working before in ICS and was necessary.
This is the sort of thing that gets people to switch over irrevocably to apple. This has been going on for like a year now. It is starting to feel like it is being done on purpose for God knows what reason. Does it work for anyone else?

What update? This phone is officially on 4.1.1 . You are not guaranteed anything by running custom software.

Fair enough. Although I never said I was guaranteed anything and apparently we are also not guaranteed to have important functionality (aka voice dialer) to work from one official release to the next. It worked fine when I had ICS it just broke when I was upgraded to JB. I would prefer not to have to root my phone to get it work, but if I waited for the official channels then I will likely have to wait until I get my next phone for a fix.
Both Google and AOKP mentioned that bluetooth issues were fixed with 4.2.2 and I was inquiring whether this worked for others as it did not work for me. Neither 4.1.1, nor 4.1.2 nor 4.2.1 nor 4.2.2 nor any of the other little hacks others have tried have worked and I know others on the official release of 4.2.2 for Nexus had similar problems so I was hoping someone might have run across a solution.
I know I sounded snarky, but I am just really frustrated.

So I do not know if this will help you but I had pacman rom and the dialer wasn't working so I reflashed, no wiping and it fixed it.
Also there is always the option of going back to the stable TW roms. Which is what I did. You can't be mad for things not running smooth when you're running custom roms that make no claims of stability.

Thanks for the info, it was definitely worth a try. Alas the pacman rom did not do the trick. I had the official JB TW update and that is what broke my phone in the first place and I am not really interested in going back to ICS since I got the new phone so I can get Jelly Bean. I have also tried CleamROM and the the latest CM, AOKP and liquidSmooth 4.2.2 along with the just released gapps-jb-130301-signed.zip. No dice.
I'll keep banging away and let everyone know if I find a solution with other ROMs or tweaks.
I am not mad about custom ROMs not working properly I am mad about the official release breaking critical functionality for me.

I tried PK and PA ROMs in addition to aready mentioned. Voice dial does not work in any of them. I also tried Ktoonsez kernel - no dice. I think it's a major JB problem and there won't be any working ROM until Google fixes the issue. I just stopped trying :crying: ...

[Q] Confused about 4.3 update

I would like to put KitKat on my phone and I have not done the OTA 4.3 update, so my baseband has not been updated. Whenever I try to figure out how to put KitKat on my phone, I find threads that say something like the following.
Don't update to 4.3 or you'll never get a custom boot image
OK, we figured out how to root 4.3, but you still shouldn't do it
All KITKAT roms are based on AOSP or their derivitives, which you need to update to 4.3 to get
But don't update to 4.3 because it isn't worth it, I mean, the camera sucks on AOSP
Here is a list of 25 KITKAT roms, each more awesome than the last!
Here is a 4.3 update without the baseband, if you haven't updated, use this, it is the best of both worlds
We wont be updating the above rom, because we are so excited about these KITKAT roms!
Hey I just updated to AOSP (CM, AOKP, etc) KITKAT and it is lame, how do I get TW back?
Does that sound about right? If I want KITKAT I should just stop wanting KITKAT and that will solve all my problems?

If you take the 4.3 update you will be stuck on 4.3 (or until Verizon decides to upgrade). It can be rooted and now you can flash other 4.3 ROMs with safestrap, but you will never be able to run a custom recovery/kernel. So even if you wanted to try AOSP you wouldn't be able to. I don't know who told you you have to upgrade to 4.3 to try AOSP but that is completely off base, in fact it's the complete opposite!
What are you currently running? Is your bootloader unlocked? If you are curious about AOSP I would definitely give it a try. In my experience TW ROMS tend to be more stable and have every bit of hardware working (camera, bluetooth, etc). AOSP ROMS are quicker, smoother, have newer features and are more easily customized. It's really a matter of preference.
If you really want to try KK and be on the bleeding edge you should. Kit Kat ROMs run very well on this phone. If something like a 100% working camera or bluetooth is extremely important to you I would stay on TW. However, devs are constantly working on the ROMs and working out these kinks.

OK, thanks for the info.
How do I know which baseband a rom is for? I found the TouchWiz 4.3 Download List. Does that basically mean that, if it isn't on that list, it is probably for the old baseband?
I tried flashing some Gummy nightlies and Carbon - both failed. On TWRP, the only message I get is "install failed"
I know troubleshooting that is a different thread, but I'm not sure where to start to figure it out.

Update your recovery.
That thread is what will work on the Verizon 4.3 update. You're fine flashing anything because you never took it, just follow the directions in each rom thread. You could flash those roms as well.

4buttons and long press for 5.0?

Hello all,
I tested 5.0 for our awesome Opo, but have to go back to Heisenberg because no one have the aokp navbar options...
Somebody have an idea if a 5.0 version will have this features?
Or one solution via xposed or other for having this?
I need 4 buttons : back, home, search, menu and longpress actions too.
Thanks a lot

Well you can't use Xposed on 5.0 because 5.0 uses the ART runtime, which Xposed is not compatible with. But anyway, you're getting a bit ahead of yourself here, the Lollipop ROMs are still very early builds, allow the devs time to get it 100% stable before even thinking of making such feature requests.

I never ask to make it immediately.... I just asked if someone work on it, or someone have a solution... Nothing more...
And some for xposed.... Some 5.0 ROM have it already installed...

Ok, but like I said, their job now is to get everything running properly first, then come the extra features.
Xposed isn't compatible with ART, so I don't see how it's possible to be used on a Lollipop ROM, do you have links please?

lollipop 5.0 question

Hello guys, I have a question. I am not asking what ROM is the best or anything like that.
I just need to be pointed in rite direction. I am looking to try 5.0 ROM but I was wondering if someone could point me towards a solid ROM that has heads up feature and dark ui. I am on mahdi 4.4 ROM at this time. I use it because of the heads up feature and dark ui. This has been the only rom I have tried. Just had phone for a week... Any advice would be great...
