Last night I was checking out Cyanogen's web site and I came across this:
Bluetooth Voice Commands Missing in CM6?
Hello,
One of the newer features that I liked so far in CM-6 was the ability to long press my bluetooth headset action button which resulted in a voice telling me to say a command. This was much better than the original phone voice dialer, which requires manual intervention to pick a number from its list of guesses after you speak, and which offers no voice prompt to let you know when it's ready.
Well, as of upgrading to CM-6.0 from the 8-25 nightly, the bluetooth/headset dialer is gone and when I long press my bluetooth headset button It's back to the old phone voice dialer which requires manual intervention to place a call and offers no voice prompt. How do I get the bluetooth dialer back?
I have attached the 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk from CM-6 release for easy downloading.
***Instructions- Download the file into your root of your SD card, using Root Explorer remove the old VoiceDialer.apk and install the new 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk
The OLD VoiceDialer.apk can be found under /system/app
Mine is working great!
Any questions, PM me....
Enjoy!
my bluetooth headset can now operate the voice commands, however, after a command is given, Voice Dialer FCs.

Did you remove the old VoiceDialer.apk?
Also, don't forget to change the permissions on the 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk after yoo move it to /system/app.
This is working great for me, back to the way it was before the update!

so as far as the instructions:
***Instructions- Download the file into your root of your SD card, using Root Explorer remove the old VoiceDialer.apk and install the new 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk
is install the new file is just copying it then pasting it into the system/app folder using root explorer, longpress on app and change permissions to allow all. then reboot.
EDIT: apparently yes, my bt headset works perfectly with voice dialer now. thank you.
This is great -- restores the BT voice dialing functionality that should have been stock in the Eris from the start
Is the source for this APK available? I wonder if it would be possible to modify to add an optional "confirmation" step:
User: "Call Jim Somename"
Phone: "Calling Jeff Someothername, is that correct?"
User: "No"
Could certainly be fancier, like presenting several options, but the above would be sufficient to prevent misdialing people you don't mean to call in other area codes, etc. That's my main hesitation to use it right now; my wife's name, in particular, seems to mismatch to other names often.
I haven't done much Android development yet, but I'd be interested in poking at this code.

I do not know but I can give you a link to Cyanogen's post if you would like....

I remove the old voicedialer. I copied over to system/app change the perms and reboot. when long pressing the bluetooth the dialer comes up but never prompts. I tried renaming the file. I tried just an install. that worked once but FC verytime after.
What am i doing wrong
Thanks for this
I can't believe that Google has worse technology than MS on this! MS Voice Command is far superior.
I tried vlingo with mixed results.
Will try this.
Just installed on my Aria running Liberated 2.2 and it works great!
BTW, I couldn't for the life of me delete the old VoiceDialer.apk using a file explorer, so I just took a shot and installed this Voice Dialer, so no real need as far as I can tell to go through the hassles of the instructions above.
Many thanks.
I tried.this but I keep getting a parsing error ???? I'm a noob have no clue what that means..lol

I realize that this is a bit of a dead post, but do you think this apk would work on a Samsung Captivate? I'm currently running with Perception 10.3 and Speedmod kernel, but for some reason the BT Voice Dialer has decided to stop working and is continually stuck at Starting Up.
I'm trying to get this to work on my Aria running FR0008 but no dice. Even using Root Explorer I simply cannot get either the original Dialer.apk deleted or the replacement 09SEPDialer.apk installed.
What am I doing wrong? I REALLY want the proper Bluetooth dialer in this ROM as I use a headset often and at the moment I prefer it to the Cyanogen ROMS.

Have you tried this? Download the 09Sep-VoiceDialer.apk to your computer. Rename it VoiceDialer.apk and place it in your tools directory of SDK. Connect your phone to PC. Open a command prompt window and navigate it to your tools directory of SDK. Type adb remount. Then type adb push VoiceDialer.apk /system/app. Then adb reboot. Be certain to take not to the caps in the file name as well so it will overwrite the one that's already in place on your phone. Hope this helps

That sounds very helpful, only problem is I have no idea about SDK and ADB. Is there a really abbreviated way of getting me up and running with this?

Awesome, I'll try giving that a whirl later this evening. Thanks for the pointer.
So, I gotta be honest, I just simply do not have the technical know how to get this working. I've downloaded and installed all relevant files but can't even seem to get the phone connected.
Here's what I'd love to be able to do, simply replace the VoiceDialer.apk in the Aria FR008 ROM - which does not support Bluetooth voice dialing with this one that apparently does.
I have tried unzipping the FR008 ROM and replacing the file and rezipping. When I go to install it from card in recovery mode it immediatly crashes. I'm seeing that the FR008 zip is "signed" and guess that I'm missing doing something important here, resigning either the whole ROM or just the file?
Can anyone please help me out here as I'm really struggling with this.

Yeah... if you unzip it you will need to sign it when you zip it in order to flash it. Try opening to rom with 7zip or winrar and just drag and drop the new one into the zip to replace the old one. Don't unzip it.

O.k. I bought Enhanced Email app ... and absolutely love the features. however since it is based on GBmail i get the dull and hard to see gray notification icon.
I was able to change this icon with the standard mail app, and even some other. i basically used the yellow one from 2.1 stock email app.
I talked to the make of EE and he said yes change it.
So i tried pulling it off the phone>open apk in winrar and replace file>push back to phone. That works until i reboot my phone then I don't have the app installed and have to deleted the new pushed 1 and rename the old one back to original name and reboot again, all work.
Then i tried using APKtool>decode -r -s "appname" "foldername", I was able to replace file.
Then i did build "appname" "appfolder", then used WADB and pushed it to /data/app
Same issue once i rebooted it would not work, but worked when first pushed.
Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong? (Yes i am stil pretty new to the Android scene)
cheers folks,
even though i tried out searching the forums i did not find a adequate solution for my problem.
i'm running villainrom v1.4 on my samsung galaxy s2 (gt-i9100) and just installed call recording from the vrt-section.
call recording itself works fine (great job, pulser!!).
my problem is:
the language on my phone is set to german. since installinig the call recording tweak the telephonecall site (active call - dialing etc.) is in english language.
this leads me to two questions:
1. is it possible to re-adjust the language to german on the mentioned site while running this tweak?
and if this is not possible
2. how can i remove this single tweak (without removing the others?)
after reading reading reading and reading in the villain-tweak-section it appears that i would need to make some steps to kinda uninstall this tweak. what are the correct ones? as far as i know by now is something like this:
1. mount as rw
2. /sdcard/VRTweaks/backup/???????????
3. copy file
4. rename file
5. overwrite existing file in /system/???????/??????
so what files do i need to replace with which ones? is it one of phone_util.apk.bak, phone_util.odex.bak, phone.apk.bak? do i have to replace just one or all of them? and where is the correct file to not mess my phone up?
really appreciating your help!!
Sorry for double posting..
I didnt find a solution yet after 1day full of reading hete and in other forums..
I just think thaz i want to remove the call recording tweak and i need some advice to do so, please.
Thanks a lot
I recently rooted and unlocked my Atrix 4g and flashed to cm7, when I did I lost Nuance voice commands. I would like to get it back cause I use a bluetooth headset on my motorcycle. Nuance voice commands echoes back where it's at.
most all the other voice dialers either don't work or you have to see the screen.
I tried to install voice.nuance.recover-v1.zip but found out it doesn't work for cm7.
Any suggestions?
Any solution ?
Hi Jam van,
Did you found a solution ? I also miss Nuance on my CM7 Atrix (CM10 at the moment, for test)
I'm still lokking for a Free application that allow offline dialing with aural confirmation and of course in French
I've tested the google build-in, offline, voice control software, but it'd useless !! It even unable to understand 'appeler Maman' ('Call mum') which is a basic instruction
I miss a lot the basic WM6 voice-tag-based application; sometimes I'm thinking on switching back to my old WM6 HTC Diamond.
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498604
Also, try this replacement to Nuance http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-a-stellar-voice-recognition-app-for-android/

I'm right now on the Alpha CM10 not sure VSuite vorking with Adnroid 4.x.
Secondly and main problem, it seems the proposed version is not working through BT (I was sure it was working on the original Motorla Firmware); and want voice dialing for my motorbike's BT helmet kit; so is need full BT support and auran confirmation because I can't look at the screen while riding :laugh:

no problem. i'm on atrix hd running 4.1.1 and VSuite is present and working. so yes, it does work on at least up to 4.1.1. The Droid X2 link was for CM7 and does solve the BT and echo issues.
I'm not aware of the change to Dragon Go!, its not an app that i normally use. i can see what i can dig up to replace this for non english speaking people. i also do not know how stable it is offline, its one of those things you or anybody for that matter would have to test out and see what happens.

Try this pack file in link bellow, using a ROOT device and a file manager (ex: ES File Explorer File Manager)
1. Download and unzip above file to your external or internal storage in a temp folder.
2. Copy VSuiteApp.apk file from "temp"/system/app in unzipped folder to /system/app folder on your device.
3. Copy "nuance" folder from "temp"/system/etc in unzipped folder to /system/etc folder on your device.
4. Copy "libvsuite_mot_vs45_embedded.so" file from "temp"/system/lib in unzipped folder to /system/lib folder on your device.
5. Copy "nuance" folder from "temp"/system/tts in unzipped folder to /system/tts folder on your device.
6. Fix permission on all copied files (individual or in folders copied over) to rw- r-- r--.
7. Reboot.
8. Update the "Voice Commands" (Vsuite 4.5 old version JBREL1-1.2.05 to 1.2.15) to version JBREL1-1.2.20 by Google play.
I´ve been using this mic boost zip for years. Sorry, I will give credit if I find out again who created this. Thoe goal is to make the mic more sensitive for video recording or whatsapp voice notes.
It seems like I can not use it anymore. Flashing it has no effect in latest builds. Can someone adjust it for current roms?
I already tried many different TWRP versions to no avail, so I guess it is related to the ROMs. Maybe some kind of protection to not change files in /vendor?
Thank you!
PS: As flashing did not help, I edited the xml file via root text editor. This causes the phone not to start, it is stuck in Lineage OS boot screen
