[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
V2.2.5.3.6A up!

Hey folks, at last the latest test build to try…

You’ll have to accept my apologies in advance; this one is going to be buggy… The custom command creation has not been easy to implement and the more I test it, the more bugs I find. Enough is enough though! I think I've caught most of them….

Database Update

Sorry folks, but the latest release will wipe all of your current custom phrases :( I hope I've restructured the database so I won’t have to do this again.

Custom Command Creation

You can either say ‘create a command’ or go to the Customisation Menu in the main app.

For now, I’ve built in:

* Display a contact

* Call a contact

* Open application

* Launch activity

* Execute Tasker task.

Once I iron out the aforementioned bugs, the framework is in place to add other types of custom commands – Suggestions welcome.

Bit of a milestone reached where any activity or complex task can be activated with a single word of your choice. I hope it proves useful!

Edit Custom Commands and Phrases

In the Customisation Menu, you can edit custom phrases and commands to make sure they were created correctly, or alternatively change the key-phrase or response to something else. You can also delete entries you no longer want.

Import and Export

This is currently disabled, but before the next release I’ll have this working so you can preserve you commands and phrases, as well as create them easily on a PC or your device via an xml/text file.

Community Phrase Database

It’s not quite ready to release yet, but I’ve made some good progress on this with the help of XDA member efreese. Once it’s ready, I’ll ask be asking again who would like to help moderate and contribute to the content. No commitment of course, if you have a free couple of minutes in your day, then checking a couple of entered phrases would be greatly appreciated. Watch this space…

Independent Speech Engine Volume

For ICS+ devices, this was relatively straight forward, otherwise it really wasn’t!

* Speak louder

* Speak maximum

* Speak softer

* Speak minimum

Quite ugly command phrases, but it does the job…

AI Level

As a first implementation, the AI Level will reflect how much utter! knows about you, and how many of its features you are using. The AI Level will be limited until I get my ass into gear and release more features!!

Text Messaging

I’ve included the command:

‘Read my last text’

As usual, I'm dipping my toe in the water of this to make sure it works correctly. Assuming it does, I’ll store more messages to read and add filters to read the last text from a specific contact etc etc.

I want to do the same for email, but I need a privacy policy and disclaimer first before I start accessing your inbox.

On the subject of emails, a user has reported a bug where the authentication is failing and preventing auto-send. I'm on the case of this.

What's next?

I've thrown diaglogs, activities, databases and layouts all over the place on the latest release - The UI will never be my strong point, but I'll tidy it up once it's functioning correctly.

I've got a very large list of things to do, which I hope includes all of your recent suggestions. I'll work on these once I've caught the bugs on this release - I need to get a Play Store update out to stop the 1* haters! :mad: Damn them!

Finally

Thanks in advance for any bug reports as always. Feedback good or bad and suggestion welcome.
