[Q] Allshare & Call Announcements on AOSP - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I just installed my first AOSP rom on my sgs2. There is no bloatware, and now 1. I am missing the Allshare App. Can someone recommend a generic allshare/dlna app from the play store? all i seem to find is unrelated crap.
2. I used the stock rom's Car Mode all the time, so my phone would announce stuff, like "One new Email", "Incoming Call from John Smith", "New SMS from Jane Smith" and stuff like that. Is there an app for that or a generic Car Mode?

Solution?
Tony what did you end up figuring out? I would like to know the answer to both of your questions as well

Voice recognizer not present

Hi All,
Loving my Hero, got over 420 apps installed and it's still running as fast as anything!!!
This phone is truly amazing, came from the G1 and it's in a different class.
Anyway I have noticed when trying to use a few voice apps I get the message:
Voice recognizer not present
I have looked for an answer on the forums but can't seem to find one.
I'm on Modaco 2.8, has anyone else got the same issue?
I'm wondering if it is down to the rom or my phone.
I've tried re-flashing the rom but it didn't help.

I've got the same problem with my htc dream. I think there's some sort of voice library missing because I don't have the voice search functionality in my search widget either.
There's a message in de android-developers mailing list that the voice recognition has been removed from uk releases of hero/dream.
How to Fix!
Install Voice Seach (by google) in the market to fix this issue. It contains the required Voice Recognizer and should get everything working! My Microphone button even showed back up in the keyboard after installing!
The app is not available in many countries, so here you can download the lastest version (v2.1.4) http://www.mediafire.com/?r9b47dcirtt8m98 and flash it from the Recovery.

[Q] Friend stream facebook notifications

Hello,
I would like to ask if there is a way to enable the notifications tab in the Friend stream on Wildfire? I saw on htc site in the how tos section that the Friend stream does have the notifications tab (the Bell icon), but I don't have it on my Wildfire. Thus I'm curious if there is a way to somehow enable it?
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi, i was looking for that too but so far i didnt find the answer i guess this option is available on new fs so for now on i advice to check e-mail notification @fb site then when something is goin on @fb u will get e-mail push notification.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire
Ok thanks for the confirmation - now at least I know that I didn't break anything ;-)
Anyone have a solution to this? I am hoping for this too!
It does appear friend stream has been updated in newer phones. I bet/hope roms (I use Magnolia 1.3.2) will bake this newer app into the framework. It will make it very easy!

Dialer integration to google maps

Hi, I am looking for any mod/rom/app which integrate dialer with google maps/navigation.
Android phone is almost perfect device for me but there is one huge problem with navigation when driving and someone call you then dialer covers whole screen when pickup the call.
So far I have found that only htc navigation works well with dialer but unfortunately the only navi app is best for me is Google Navigation.
So the question is...
Does exist any application or mod which activating that feature on android phone
Any one already tried to develop this ?
I have already spent around 100pounds on navigation apps that I dont like and I am able to pay some cash to have that option available on google maps and I think many people will be happy from this feature is well, so if you have any info how to do this please tell.
Questions should be posted in Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.
anyone?
or any hint where to look for sensation dialer that show up when driving ?

[Q] Voice dialer

Hi,
i am trying to find voice dialer that would suport BT headset. So basically i say a name dialer dials
Anyone has anygood app for this?
Thx upfront.:victory:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyberon.cvsd&hl=sl
Not ok.
And no Google voice not ok for me since not English so i need to custom load in all voice tags first.
so....
Hi jprednik
So...you got any breakthrough?
I am interested in the same. Though currently swipes and speed dial on ExDialer app works quite quick...voice dialer has its own charm and functionality (Though it has to be good with recognition & quick ...else it kinda defeats the purpose)
It's sad that this thread hasn't received any reply.

[Q] Pairing my Gear S with HTC One didn't work as intended at all

Hello guys,
So, i just bought a Samsung Gear S for my HTC One, and yes i know this is not 100% fully working, but i'll get a Samsung Alpha in few months.
Well, i followed your tutoriels and guides, and nothing went as planned.
The most embarassing thing is that i can't acces the Samsung Gear Store : is this a normal thing ? Or did i just mess up somewhere ?
Surprinsingly, S Voice function works 100%. I can't control my music tho. And the phone calls works very fine.
So, do you guys have any idea how i could fix this store issue ? Cause i would like to install something like Opera Mini or some other apps.
Thank you for reading, and sorry for my poor english
You need a Samsung phone that you can pair with the Gear s in order access the Samsung app store to install apps on the watch.
Best to find a friend with a compatible phone , pair it with theirs, then add whatever apps you want.
Or go to an electronics store that has compatible phones on display and pair your watch with one of them if you can.

I have an HTC M8 too and tried the workaround. This caused various issues and a few things didn't work post install of the Gear Mgr. I wanted something better and needed access to the gear store. And the last thing I wanted was be forced to buy and use a Samsung phone.
This isn't for everybody, but here's my fix...
I just bought a cheapo Samsung Gear S compatible phone off eBay and turned it into a notification relay point. You can get one for as little as ~$70:
Plug in it, connect to Wi-Fi, download Gear Mgr, clone the apps/email (from HTC) you want Notifs from, and set it up to remotely send the chosen app's notifications. For your HTC's texts, there are a handful of SMS forwarding apps on Play that work great. One app allows for you to reply with the native mobile # just as if it came from your HTC. Last step, set your watch to be standalone.
Everything works, including S-voice.
Thanks a lot guys ! A friend of mine has à Galaxy Note 2, i think it will be fine !
I'll keep you in touch if anyone wants to know what happened next !

Could you explain this a bit more, please?
I have someone who would love to get the Gear S but is a hard core iPhone user. I guess he could get a cheapo Galaxy phone, connect it to Wifi at home, but I don't understand the clone part, and how the cheapo gets the HTC notifications.
Guessing it may not work at all with an iPhone, but still interested in understanding the process.
Samsung could have really tapped that market by releasing a Gear Manager app on the Apple app store, and advertised a bit more.
No one knows what's on my wrist, but once explained, a lot of people would be potential customers if only the friggin Galaxy phone wasn't a prerequisite.

What you need to do is basically put the same apps on the relay device as your daily driver. Sign in to each app and then go to the Gear Mgr and make sure that app has a check mark.
As far as email. Use the stock Samsung email app and/or GMail . Enter all of your account info and, again, make sure the Gear Mgr is set.
So basically, all your doing is taking a dummy S compatible phone and creating a clone of your phone's app and email configuration.
Not sure if the iStore has an app that will forward your texts...but, hopefully, they should. If not, Google voice is another way to go.
