[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Hi folks, excuse my brevity in responses, so much to do! Really appreciate all posts :good:

The backup/restore cloud feature is hit and miss I'm afraid. You can export an import some of the commands to your storage, but not all....

Can you try once more to update to the latest BusyBox, via the Play Store link please? I've added this to my bugs list to investigate :good:

'good' is a thumbs emoticon in Browsers, but doesn't work on the XDA app!

Did you sort this?

:good: going to try a fix later to see if I can resolve this....

Thanks for post the concise issue.

It seems that in the latest Google Search update, they don't enable the Hot Word feature if any app is enabled that could announce TTS content. They've done this to stop the TTS voice from triggering the 'Okay Google'....... I've got a fix coming soon.

Weather provider = http://www.worldweatheronline.com/

It's been on my list to do for ages to answer umbrella questions etc. But each one I'd have to manually write, in every language.... Users could ask so many obscure questions, there's a limit to what I can do to handle it..... You'd need a big team with plenty of time - there's no other way!

Thanks for confirming :good:

Is this still happening running the latest test version http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52626727&postcount=6256

Thanks again for your feedback:

1) It's a Google issue that doesn't play well with the implementation utter! uses. I gave them the code to replicate it a long time ago and it has greatly improved since, but the issue remains. I've written another implementation that I want to use, but it's a 'hack' and I'm reluctant to. My only other option is to move to another recognition provider, but they cost money.

2) When you open Google Now, it prepares the speech recogniser, so it's ready to fire instantly. Every time you request speech recognition from utter! I fire it up then and shut it down afterwards, otherwise other apps wouldn't be able to use it. So the delay is caused by initialising this every time.

It's not too bad on fast devices and getting faster all of the time.

3) Headset support is an ongoing battle. I need to either take a few months out to write a complete application to handle it, or just keep plugging away at it...... It's a similar issue as above, I can't permanently hog the headset, so have to keep releasing and attaching the connection between uses.......

When you export the commands from Customisation, you could send them to Dropbox then. I suppose I could add a share option once the file is produced, but low down the list of things I'll get done.

The Google Search update seems to have stopped 'ducking' the audio whilst recognition is taking place. Looks like I'll have to handle this in utter! now. Thanks for reporting :good:

It should do this on everything other than the new texting feature (I forgot to apply it!)? I'll check my code....

A few users requested they were hidden from the gallery! So I applied that as default... Perhaps I can add a setting.... I'll see what I can do about flashing the screen.

Sorry, I'll resend later today!

Thanks for reporting, it looks like I'm not handling 'dial' as an option, so it maybe that Google is offering 'call' as an alternative but with less accuracy. If you try 'call 213-435-6456' does that work correctly? I need to add the confirmation in to this too, as at the moment, it just immediately calls the number.

Thanks for reporting this :good: See above for how Google is no longer 'ducking' the audio. I need to code this.

I'll see what I can do about copying it to the Clipboard, so you can toast and paste it from there :good:

Google uses the media stream for the beep, so if you have it muted, the beep will be too.

As [MENTION=4865507]GLDavis[/MENTION] said, yes! But you need to be running:

the latest test build - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52626727&postcount=6256

---------------------------

Good work folks! Thanks so much for all of the reports. As you can tell, the bug fixes and changes are endless and somehow, whilst I work alone, I have to prioritise these whilst still writing new features :eek:

I'll be back with the next test build over the weekend.

Have a good one! :beer:

Edit - The Wolfram Alpha update just broke the integration.... DOH! :mad:
