Hi.
I have a major issue woth SGS2.
I have to make calls from a earphone and a motorcycle helmet, also with no internet connection avaible.
So I bought Cyberon Voice Commander (Italian versione).
It works very well, but when i press the button on the earphone, it starts the stock samsung voice recognition software, whic requires internet connection and doesn't work very well.
I can't associate eraphone button with cyberon.
I have contacted Cyberon, the answered:
"Here I'm sorry to inform you that we found on Samsung Galaxy S II, the Bluetooth handsfree profile (for voice dialing) was not implemented as Android's standard definition. Thus when user presses the BT button, only built-in voice recognition app will be launched automatically. We're really sorry for the inconvenience. Before Samsung fix this issue (if they will), if you'd like a refund please send us your order number. Thanks for your understanding in advance!"
Is there a way to remove samsung stock voice recognition software and associate cyberon with earphone and possibly also with home double click?
I am very unhappy by now!
Thanks!
FIXED!
I have found a fix!!
* Root your device
* Set google as default voice recognition instead of vlingo in settings>voice recognition (not sure this is important to do)
* Install Titanium backup (i Have paid full version, but probably you can use free
* Disable "comandi vocali" (Italy) which in english should be like "voice commands"
* Than I have cancelled the BR pairing, restarted the phone and paired BT again...
* Set Cyberon to use long press bt button to start
IT WORKS!!
What about same fix but without root?
I also need fix to disable standard Voice Talk and use Cyberon Voice Speed Dial.
It was worked fine before KE7 firmware was released
I believe it's hard
I think it's hard disabling built-in voice commands without rooting.
Also the "tasker" metod I used before needs the kill process with rooting rights option to kill voice command process and run cyberon.
Cyanogenmod for samsung galaxy s2 is quite ready and it will not have samsung apps anymore, but I guess you won't install it since you won't routing.
My personal consideration is that with every kind of device you can't expect it to do everything you whish unless you work "hard" on it.
I have choosen an open platform like android because is very simple to root and you can always chose an alternative rom to make the phone exactly as you whish.
I understand that sometimes custom rom could helps you. But I really like factory rom on SGS2, no freezes, very fast. I really see no reason to flash home cooked rom's and after that scream on each forum , that something doesn't work
Anyway, with prev. firmware everything was okay, but not with new one. And I really hope that this can be fixed without rooting.
Yes. I think you're right. I'll switch to a custom rom only when it will be really stable and fast.. I have messed up with custom rom for years on WM, now I want a little relax!
But rooting is not a custom rom.. my rom is the latest leaked from samsung (android 2.3.4), than I rooted and disabled build in voice recognition to enable Cyberon. The rom is still the original. Also now I can make full backups of the entire rom in case of corruptiom, failure or something other. Anyway noone is forced to think rooting is better. I hope Samsung will fix voice command incompatibility for anyone!

So as I can see there is no fix yet available even with latest leaked firmware?> That sad!
Latest leaked
Well. I can't assure you latest firmware doesn't fix it.
I think it doesn't fix, but I used the modified version of the firmware that doesn't require formatting, so build in voice recognition was already disabled.
Someone should try e clean install of latest firmware 2.3.4 and than install cyberon to see what happen..
For now I'm happy this way.

Here I go again with my upgrading issues. I recently upgraded my ROM to PK Black thanks to olipro unlocker, the whole athena project, HeartofDarkness, and ITXDA. THANKS FOR A GREAT ROM and all your help.
My new issue......I need a voice dialer that works. The dialer that was in the shipped ROM of my 7501 was great. Is there a place that I can get thdialer in CAB to re-install to my device? I am currently using VOICE_Tri. It does work but only when the phone is actively on/unlocked. So if my phone is in my pocket and or locked, I cannot dial. The original dialer worked when my phone was locked or not near me. I really want this back. Can anyone suggest a dialer that works that I don't have to buy? Can I strip it from the HTC ROM?
Thanks in advance.

Try this! You might have to purchase this one though!
You're welcome, really.
Do you remember what you used prior to upgrading ?
Heavyweights are:
- Microsoft Voice Command (doesn't need training);
- Cyberon Voice Dial (requires tagging).
Both are commercial products, but since you rightfully own a device that was provided with either, there shouldn't be much problems if you did bit of searching on the forum or googling and found workable archives...

The voice dialer I was using previously was included in the shipped firmware on my 7501. I have no idea who made it or if it was simply part of the ROM. I did try the one offered on mahmood's site and it seems to be working well enough for now. I will use this latest one until I find another. I did have Microsoft's version when I had other devices but I often had trouble using it with a BT device. There was one that I read about that announces your incoming calls and other little neat things, but with all my reading, I forgot its name. So, long story short, I am ok for now, but still always on the prowl for biger, better, faster, smarter, easier etc.
So keep me in mind if something surfaces that is a dowlaoad (pref. free) that I can try.
BTW, do you know how to get PocketCM off of my device?

Looks like it would one to try, but do you know if it is unistallable once it's on. I still trying to get Pocket CM out of my device.
you might have to use a registry delete on that one. some how it installed in your registry...thats why you cant easily remove it. try resco registry. you should be able get in and delete it with that software.
BTW...that link to that Voice dialer...yes it removes once you go into settings and Remove Programs. I dont think however, that it gives you the option to save your settings. But who cares.... Good Luck buddy!

Hi all,
I've seen several questions without too many answers regards native sip use on the s2.
I've just purchased my s2 today and am totally lost with where to start to get native sip working.
I have had nokias for years and sip has been very easy and good.
I am not familiar with what appears needs for ROM apps prior to use of the native sip.
Could someone PLEASE outline the most up to date method of using native sip from a new phone perspective.
thanks
Hello,
Using the native sip client is pretty simple and, IMO, similar to what I have on my Nokia Phone. Here is what I did :
- configure SIP account
- chose option to chose between SIP or gsm on each call.
- call contact and when asked about SIP or gsm, choose SIP.
But there is an issue with native SIP calls using wrong microphone, see here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109962

Hi and thank you for getting back.
I have read on this and other forums that Samsung galaxy s2 has intentlly left out the SIP option access on the phone.
I presume you have another phone type?
Apparently the gingerbread system has what you outline, but I've not got this option on my Samsung Galaxy 2s?
@gearo : I am using the Cognition ROM, which unlocks the SIP native client on my S2 (and also gives it a much better battery life ...)
Thank you very much for getting back as this looks like a "one fix" that I was looking for.
Cognition ROM?
I've read a bit about these ROM's.
Can't find summaries of what ones do what etc and the pro's n con's of each.
Is there such a thing?
If Cognition ROM fits my required bill given that apart from not having a native voip,( I thought I'd be happy to "play" with the stock phone), where am i able to get simple instruction on flashing the phone with the Cognition rom.?
Hi Gearo,
Sorry I don't know if there's like a "comparation table" for all the different GS II roms.
To install the Cognition ROM you first have to install the CWM tool. I did it by installing the ChainFire (CF-Root) kernel. Here is an easy guide to install CF-Root : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126522 .
Then just put the Cognition zipped ROM on your phone and reboot in CWM mode.
About your PM question : sorry again, I haven't heard any news about a fix for the receiving end volume ... imo this makes calling with the native android sip client pretty useless ... you'd better be using csipsimple as they recommand in the SIP thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109962
Same problem for me:
The steps seems clear to have native voip SIP client io ICS but.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592890
but is there any cooked rom?
Thanks!
native voip
I'm now using "paranoidandroid" (acka old D4) ROM.
Has native voip installed and does work !
I've done side by side comparisons with Csipsimple and the latter is by far better call quality including reception, echo, volume and clarity.... even on the standard csip settings.
I've gone looking for how to change codecs with the native installer but no luck... then again, csip simple still better with the standard codecs , even discounting G729 etc.
be pleased if anyone can get native working well as the csipsimple is STILL NOT AS GOOD AS MY OLD Nokia. humph !
I'm using resurection and the problem for me was that I didn't find the new configuration window place. Now is not in the regular call option insted is in the call menu (just the menu used press the numbers for the regular calls),... properties and then, the option to send and recevie voip calls. Native client have better quality for me but more battery consumtion to receive calls than CSIPsimple

Hi, sorry if stupid question... how can i get voice commands to work on this rom?
the vsuite.apk not part of any of the addons, i got voice search from market and it works, to search and for voice input on the keyboard to compose texts and emails,
but i need "voice commands" app so that i can use my bluetooth. On stock, red pill, aura and darkside it was there, one press of bluetooth, say phone command, blue ant bluetooth said activating your phone's inbuilt voice commands, then you coud do numerous things ie call bob, play "playlist" etc. i found the vsuite.apk in numerous other roms i have on pc, extracted, copied to /system/app &/or /data/app and set permissions but it always fc's. i've been able to do this "porting" from another rom before for simple things like alarm clock, but can't get to work. Maybe something to do with deodexed vs non ROMs, files incompatible for each other. i love Neutrino, but hands free dialing in car from bluetooth is an absolute necessity, so could be a deal breaker.
Any help greatly appreciated!!
Have you tried the "Languages & TTS Add-On"?

Yes, thanks, I did install that, no difference.
I "know" [and I use the term loosely ] that the file I need is vsuite.apk,
b/c when I install it on my phone, the icon is right, it's the voice commands
icon from stock rom. It can be run manually by pressing icon in app drawer or activated
from bluetooth, it's the same, and a female voice asks you to say a command.

Not a stupid question. I think this is a an important "ROM Basic Requirement" for the drivers who can avoid texting while driving.
Anyway, I have found a "workaround" for the original voice command. It is the
Cyberin Voice Commander which works as a "replacement" of the original voice command from the other manufacturer.
It is working well here and it is worth paying it in the Android Market.
I have downloaded the portuguese (BR) version, but you can easily find your language over there.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone got two way voice recording working on any of the ICS releases, whether a MOD or a 3rd Party app?
I tried a couple (killer mobile and call recorder) but no luck.
same here. call recorder always worked 100%
Anyone? Still can't find one that will work....aaarrrggg.
I would like to know too. I heard Samsung has removed the necessary call recording libraries in ICS. Hope that is not true.
afaik it will work soon, becuase the ics kernel sources are published today. that will grant many developers to fix everything which cant be fixed before. afaik the call recording problem inlcuded!
Looking forward to this. I loved that on GB. There is a tutorial @ "Original Android Development" category (for GB), maybe someone can start from there to make it work on ICS?
-Aeth.

Before I use CallRecorder but now it does not work ok
me too. that was very useful as it recorded automatically
I can confirm, call recorders does not work on ICS.
I tried almost all available from the market, but no success.
I need it too
Sent from my GT-I9100
This seems to be an useful thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482721 - this actually points to a easy way of getting call recording functionality back!
Here's my understanding from the thread. Basically there are three files in /system/lib that are used for call recording API -
libaudioflinger.so
libaudio.so
libaudiopolicy.so
(It's interesting to note that out of these, only the first is there in ICS.)
If we copy the files from 2.3.6, and replace/add the files, there's a good chance that we will get back call recording. Now to get these files... does anybody have the older version, or know how to extract these files from the ROMs?
SOLVED XD - Need to know if it's reliable
Hi,
I have tried "Auto Call Recorder" (free) and seems to work ok.
Without any patchs or modifications on the rom it works ok recording from mic (depending on you it could be wnought or not).
QUESTION 1:
Someone could tell us if this program is realiable? (I mean, if we can trust in it).
Because it have several permissions that I'm not sure it should have or if it's neccesary.
It has 100.000 - 500.000 installations and 4 star score
How can we be sure if this program is not spying us?
RECORDING WITH API (not mic)
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551353 I have found a thread where there are two ICS libs (different from the GB ones) that sould fix the problem and should allow to record from API, so we could get clear and loud sound.
Files are audio.primary.exynos4.so & audio_policy.exynos4.so in /system/lib/hw
Files can be downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/?r2wgv821w1uutzd or from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=955906&d=1332235902 (both are binary same)
QUESTION 2:
Again reliability.
Someone could tell us if this libs are realiable? (I mean, if we can trust in it).
I have downloaded "ZSLPE" that is supposed to have call recording and this libs are the same that the original in XXLPQ, and are different of the downloable ones that I say before (supposely patched).
If ZSLPE have call recording, why libs are the same that XXLPQ?
Where are this "patched" libs from?
Again the same question, are this "patched" libs reliable?
Perhaps I could be some paranoid, but I don't want a spy on my phone or something worse, and I want to be sure that all my phone conversations (or any other personal data) are not sent to anyone.
Probably is stupid to think that anyone could be interested in my bored conversations, but those are mine...
Greetings
^ Thanks given
For security concern, you may want to try out LBE Privacy Guard... I use it. It can help you to deny certain permissions for any program which you think has no business asking for the permission.
You may question that program more though, as it asks for a lot more permissions in return for the power!
Personally, I would trust the libraries and the auto call recorder - the permissions it asks seem legit. I checked the hack works with Total Recall too, so if you feel more comfortable you could use that.

Thanks to everyone who has been responding it looks like we might not be too far away from call recording on ICS. WooHoo!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551353&page=2
After a while this worked for me, for both Total Recall and Auto Call Recorder. I have DXLP7 with CFRoot LP7 kernel.
Alternatively, according to the same thread, in ZSLPE call recording works from start.
Let me know if that helps, or I can answer any other questions to get it working for you.

Hi there,
I'm looking for a possibility(software) to use voice commands (via bt headset) on my htc hd2.
Today I've received a new bt headset which "is able to call contacts from phonebook via voice commands".
And I really would like to do that... First push on the "magic button". nothing happens.
After some research and a phone call with the support hotline they told me that this function relies on the phone's possibility to perform voice commands.
google search "told" me, there is something like MS Voice Command (in german language), it "should" be built in since Version x-y... at least in the stock ones. (I'm not using the stock rom because the htc messenger app did brake the sms sync with exchange!)
After some additional research i found out that in the rom I'm using no voice command software is inbuilt. (Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.GER.Cookie.2.0.Mar.21.7z), and the author isn't willing to change that. But in the same post he adviced people to install it via cab-files. And I'm searching for them!!!!
I haven't found a possibility to buy the german 1.6.2 Version (the latest I guess) nor to download...(lots of links, all of them are down)
But I did find a english 1.6.20771 one, it's installed, it's working with the bt-headset...
Is there any way to change the language to german?
Is there some other "good" software(which is still available, and has same functionality) to accomplish this?
Also I did have a look at the Artemis-ROM, which has the voice command functionality included...(cyberon voice speed dial)
but I'm not sure if it will brake the exchange-sms sync. ( to install this rom and test that, i will have to remove spl, install other spl, mess with radio etc... it's not a quick test...)
Is someone around already using the artemis-rom with an exchange-server and sms-sync working?
Any help to get this voice command thing working in german would be very very nice!
Kind regards
