Best personal assitant "siri" style app for android? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Does anyone here use these kind of apps? I saw a couple posts for utter and speaktoit but they were short lived. I have browsed the internet but it seems like every site recommends a different on. I don't really want to go through the process of trying/learning every one to find the best one. I might do that with 2 or 3, but I would like to narrow it down to those 2 or 3 first.
One thing I would really like to have is the ability to set reminders just by speaking to the app. Things like pick up billy from soccer at 5:00, or pay the bills on Monday and have it put those in the calendar or a to do app or whatever and then have it send me a reminder on those days or times.

Hello!
I've tried many but the one I return to is 'Assistant'. For me, it's only flaw is that it won't do my Exchange calendar... Though their customer service tells me full Microsoft Exchange support is coming.

i have tried quite a few and the one I'm stuck on is dragon. it's near perfect.:good:

Dragon is by far the besti have found. The fact you can wake your phone up and tell it what to do without ever touching your phone is pretty awesome.

Well, I guess it really is that up in the air, everybody likes something different.

Dragon used to be Vlingo I believe which i heard used to be top dog, and while I haven't heard of Dragon getting worse, most of the reviews I have read have putt varying other apps ahead of it. Usually dragon is 2nd in the reviews though so maybe I should give it a try. Not having to touch the phone does sound cool

I'm using the jellybean sandwich rom, which is CM9 based, so I don't think I have access to the latest version of google now. But when I was using it, I never really got it, or learned how to use it effectively. Although it was pretty awesome when it told me to leave for work early in the morning because there was a lot of traffic

there are ways to get google now on cm9 but its easier to update your rom. i've been using JamieD81's unofficial cm10.2 and just flashed cm10.2 nightly and both have been really stable so far

My only issues with Dragon is that it's a huge app once the voice files download - and it uses a ton of RAM on standby even when I don't use it to alert me regarding messages. Also it does not speak much; It's better at providing search results...

I was thinking about trying his new 4.3 pacman rom, but I always hated how JB roms always seemed to random reboot when I was sending texts. I do have google now on my CM9 rom, it's just an older version and the play store says I can't update. But does google now allow me to tell it to set a reminder and then have it remind me.
Assistant does that, although it seems to store the reminders internally rather than put them on the calendar as well.

every other jb rom i've used always had random reboots but so far with wit the new 4.2 i've had no reboots.
you can set reminders with google now 2 ways. time based or location based and it will send a notification. i like the location based because you can say remind me to buy milk when i'm near the store and will send a notification. it also doesn't store to the calendar and they dont make it very convenient to view upcoming reminders. if you want to add to calendar you can add calendar events instead of reminders.

I always thought that would be a good idea to be able to set reminders like "buy milk" and have it go off when you were by a store, didn't realize google now could do that. I'm on a 4.3 rom now, not sure if I will stay with it cause it does have some issues, but I do have google now, so maybe I should learn how to use it. How does it handle the location based reminders. Do you have to tell it what location to remind you at or will it go off any "store" that in theory sells milk?

How to you prevent google play upgrade?

I have the apk for the 3.4.4 market. I froze the market updater but when I install the Market apk within 5 minutes it updates to play. Is there a way to prevent the upgrade?
What's the big deal with preventing the update? Looks like exactly the same market with a name change to me. Just wondering what I'm missing and in no way trying to be a jerk.

You dont want to stop the update because if you do, you will not be able to get apps or update current apps with the old market.
Anything else that relies on the newer market will fail as well. I doubt you could stop it anyway..
Install an older version of the Market and use Titanium Backup to freeze the Market Updater...but there's no good reason to not update.
The new market is great! LOL, it is pretty much the same. The only difference if you have a tablet and that allowed you to purches music through the app. Again looks pretty much the same. New name

personally the name change is annoying as all hell, google quit trying to program your brand name in my brain, when i want to buy and app or something i want to go to the market or to the store, not go to the google and pick up a new app.
every-time i'm in a rush trying to pull something from the app market i can't find the bloody icon because i'm looking for the market or in the old location on my app drawer, minor change i know but i have caught myself cussing at google when i needed to re-d/l my gps app after it crashed during a trip i as on a few days ago.
any chance of renaming the new app back to market without root?
Just use a launcher and if already do, just change the name duh..lol that's what I did ....

I also would like to learn how to get around using Play. The new terms seem to allow Google to read my sms messages and record the message routing. I don't think my correspondents would appreciate having their thoughts being part of Google's repertoire.

The only way to get around using Google Play is to not use android. What you're asking is the equivalent of saying you want to use an iDevice without the app store.

Memory needs > any update
I have a very good reason for not wanting auto-upgrades. Radio Shack misled me about the HTC Wildfire S and now I've got jack for memory. I have four apps installed, use only the native message app, and I'm lucky to have 25mb free. Anything less than that and the phone works as well as the Pony Express does today.
FWIW, Tandybot told me I could always install apps on the SD card. In theory, yes, but so few app devs code apps to work in that manner. Lesson learned.
kite edit: SNIP! No need for that kind of attitude around here, I'm afraid.

[BOTH][PORT] S Voice from SGSIII

I know there are other threads out there about this subject, but figured I would bring it here to the Razr threads.. Who would like to help me get S Voice working on the Razr? I installed the zip that I got at another thread and it doesn't work 100% yet (likes to hang on stuff...)
I'm still not an experienced Android hacker/coder, but would be willing to help out one if they wanted to take part in this project..
I do have Linux command line experience, run Linux, and have had a few years of webOS hacking So I'm not a total newb to the game lol
Let me know if you would be interested in helping me with this
Thanks,
Patrick
After a few reboots, S Voice is working better. On Board mic has not worked since install though, Bluetooth works fine..
Sent from my RAZR MAXX using XDA premium
Moved To General​
As this contains no development.​
I fixed the issue with the mic not working, seems to be an issue on my end and nothing to do with S Voice.. Only thing left that I can think of before we can call this 100% working, is changing it from launching only stock apps, to the apps that you set as stock (I.E. Google Voice for texting, whatever you have set for calling, etc.)
Certain things like saving alarms and memos and such will not work unless you have the corresponding clock and memo apps from SGS3.
Really its not worth it. Aokp and cm will have jellybean merged within the month more than likely.Google Now does everything s voice does but way better.
I used s voice for a few days and was disappointed. Give it a few weeks and just use Google Now

Do you really think that it isn't worth it? Granted, I've yet to use Google Now, but I really like S Voice.. And I think it would only take minor changes to change the path of the app launched for things like that.

I really think its not worth it at this point. Its more or less just a themed Vlingo with system app access (to sammys system apps).
Wait a few weeks and run Google Now ( or read over this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045). They have GoogleNow running on ICS but i think it has something not working last i checked.
I SHOULD have a modded Svoice that me and some people here at xda worked on when i had my Razr. Worked just fine other than saving alarms and memos. Ill look and see if its still in my dropbox and link here if it is.

The Google Now that they have working is missing voice recognition (something about it being Jelly Bean specific kernel stuff) and that's the only thing keeping me from using it.. The only thing

Possible to port Google Now Voice Search to a Sense ROM?

I know a hack is available for AOSP-based ICS ROMs. Will it ever be possible port a voice enabled Google Now to a Sense ROM?
The hack works on sense. I've used it on meanrom ics for cdma. Used the voice search for Google Now app too. Worked pretty well. Only thing is after using it, my battery was draining like no tomorrow. Not sure if it's related to Now or not. I got rid of it just in case.

Yes (sort of). When I first tried it, it was over the July 4th weekend, so the thread was very disorganized as people worked to get things going. I actually followed the instructions from one of the posts in the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28234189&postcount=142
I haven't tried it since the OP has everything posted with the voice search add on. It says in the OP that it only works on AOSP Roms, but the one I used from post 142 worked for me on whichever sense based rom I was running at the time (I want to say MeanROM ICS).
Darn it Clankfu, now I have a new project to try. Time to start a nandroid backup. :laugh:

Yes, tried it when it first came out, then removed it because it was still buggy. Then tried it again Thursday for a couple days. Had to use the voice search for Google Now app to input searches via voice, but it worked pretty well. Just huge battery hog so I dumped it again forum now.

Been playing with it today a little. It is a little buggy (can't exit by back button and the JB microphone button does not work as the OP from the Google Now thread said). But, I installed it like the thread said and also installed the Voice App download and the secondary voice widget (although I don't know if that one is needed). If you long press on the magnifying glass, you can have the Voice App for Google Now open so no widget is needed.
The searches were not very natural like the Siri clones such as Vlingo. If I said, "call John Doe mobile" it would say searching "call Johnd hoe mobile" and try to search Google. If I just say "John Doe", it finds that contact on the phone and I can press the contact and then go to the contact page, which are more clicks than just doing that by hand. If I say, "run rom toolbox pro", it searches Google, but if I say "rom toolbox pro", it shows the app as an option and I can click on it and it loads. It actually seems to work better if you don't use the voice functionality and just type what you are looking for.
Be extra careful hitting the back button. If you hit that on the cards page, it locks up the app. To correct it, I had to press home, then to do a long home press and swipe the app away. If you want to leave the app and not have it lock, you have to hit home.
It also puts a weather notification in the status bar.
In the end, I agree with gk1984. I think it would be cool if it was built in to the phone, but it feels bolted on and not very smooth on the 3d. I may give it a few days to see if it is as clairvoyant as they say, but I'm not seeing why I should keep it at this point.
But, try it for yourself and see. As I always say, nandroid backups are our friends.
I also tried the Vlingo beta since that is what the S3 voice app is based off of and it seems a lot smoother.
Well hopefully they'll keep developing this and make it a smoother experience. For right now, it doesn't seem like a significant upgrade from the regular stock voice search.
Also, I didn't realize there was a new Vlingo beta. I'll have to check it out.

Well, it's not all bad. You do get the little cards when you need them. But I don't think that makes it worth keeping personally.
So, I tried it for a few days and it killed my battery. My battery today only lasted 4 hours with 2 hours of screen on time. There were 2000 wakelocks trying to get my location, which I think was Google Now.
Yea, that's no bueno.

I don't think Google Now was meant to be an assistant and follow commands, but I could be wrong. I think this is purely an enhanced search feature. They've be reporting the assistant was supposed to release in Q3 or Q4. They only said development was being sped up very shortly before the release of JB. They may still release an assistant later.

It actually does on my N7. As you keep using the feature, it'll start showing the relevant cards but I'm not sure if a port will work the same way.

Google Now vs Voice Search

Aren't google now and voice search two different things. the voice search feature of google now is only one aspect of it. Am I correct?
Google now includes cards and the voice search in Google now can respond to your questions.
Cards are just small amounts of common useful information that your phone thinks you need, like weather, sports scores, traffic info etc. Google now also learns based on your location and searches.

When you voice search, it gives more relevant information- like the exact answer, rather than just a web search. It isn't perfect, but much better, and the number of commands you can give it are better.
The biggest change is when you click the actual "google" app in the app drawer.. this is where it pulls up cards based on what you search and use. For example, I searched on my pc for a UPS store, or on my phone with google now voice search, and nothing changes on my phone.. but when it detects that I am not moving a notification will pop up in my bar that shows the distance, time, traffic to that UPS store, without me doing anything. Click the notification and it opens the now card where it gives better detail, and actually has a clickable navigation link to start gps..

Does it do news? Besides it occasionally giving me navigation information, all I ever see is weather.. since i don't use sports, stocks, or all the other things it seems to offer. But news- I could use news.. I am curious.
The main thing that blows my mind about google now is that I have NO noticable drain- I thought this would drain battery like a mofo, but nope.. not that I can tell at all.

It's a background process like the regular google search so no additional power is used since it goes into the background dormant until needed again or scheduled to come up. On the news factor, yup it does, check your card samples, you can set it to show up whenever and how frequently you'd like. I just use mine for weather mostly, shows up whenever I leave home to guide me back too, lol.

And na, I'm not on JB, as much as I love AOSP, most, if not all of the features of the s3 and null/void on AOSP since it's all sammy perks, so I'm still on my usual stock with my own tweaks and mods here and there.

Email Apps

Hey folks
A buddy at work is looking for an email application that can handle both gmail and exchange (office365) and has the ability to turn off (at least) the notifications, but for just 1 of the two accounts, say after 5pm. Strange request, I know. If anyone knows of such an app please do let me know. Thanks a ton!!

Hey Patch,
I wanna start by thanking you a ton for your ROMS! I run your BeanStalk on my OG note and have not changed since.. I've read a lot about other ROMS but I'm so happy with my phone's performance that I just don't wanna venture into other roms. Again, thank you for making our devices stay relevant and updated!
As for the APP.. my girlfriend has an S4, and the stock Samsung email app seems to work within the parameters of your request: it runs both gmail and exchange (although Gmail isn't pushed, only pulled at a max frequency of every 15 minutes) and you can turn notifications of each individual account at will (IDK if it can be done automatically, but I could look into if you'd like).
Would this app work for your friend you think? If so, it could just be installed as an .apk and then run as system app.... couldn't it?
If you by any chance need the app to be uploaded, let me know, I'll gladly do it!

Shame on me....I have failed to provide any details.......my buddy's phone is a moto X....stock, and non root.
I think the s4 app is more than likely touch wiz and would not work? I was looking through the play store for something??

ohhhhhh, for some reason I figured it was someone running a custom ROM, LOL.
I guess I should never assume.
On the playstore I stumbled upon this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trtf.blue
Haven't really really tried it 'cause all the accounts I use are either gmail or google apps for business, so I just use the stock gmail app.
The description seems to match everything you state is required, so I hope it helps!
Try k9. I use to use it back in the day.
