I'm back!

Hey folks, I'm back!

Firstly, sorry for my abandoning the thread for a while - the rebuild has been such a daunting and mammoth task, that I had to shut myself away to get it done.

Secondly, thanks as always to those helping out, it's really appreciated, I don't know what I'd do without you!

So, the rebuild is stuck back together and is running successfully on my devices - It's lightening quick for me, so I hope you will all experience the same! I have a 12 hour train journey tomorrow, so I hope I'll have it ready to post by the time I'm back from that!

I've thrown the user interface back on-top of the new code, so I'll need to update that over the coming weeks and that is the only remaining part of it that I need to export to external files for translation - then it's good to go with any translation volunteers!

So, I'll chuck the test build up on here in about 36 hours (less hopefully), but it's going to be buggy!

I've only glanced back through recent posts as there's so many pages I haven't read, sorry. - I hope no one is totally stuck!? Spotted the conversation about the Bluetooth headset support and I've got some interesting code from glossycherrybomb on the PM that looks like a fix for all :good: - It's my number one priority once I've fixed the bugs on the rebuild. I'm aware that it's not streaming or not using the mic correctly on some headsets/devices.

Also, I messed up the contact matching algorithms in the most recent build, which is why the nicknames might not be working correctly - that's fixed now, along with so many other glitches I spotted along the rebuild way.....

The other issue is the 'error communicating with Tasker' - I've asked the Tasker dev to help me work around that, but he's busy with his new release I'm sure. They only solution for now is to reinstall utter! or find the apk in data/app and click on it in a File Explorer to reinstall the same version over the top, without risking losing any data.

Ok, I've got to grab some sleep now as up early, but I'll be back very soon bearing gifts! :)

Thanks once again to those helping out.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
The app doesn't hold wake-lock permission (I don't request any), so if it is connected to utter! it could only be to do with the Voice Engine the app is bound to, or Google Voice Search. I've made improvements to both in the coming rebuild.
[Android Apps and Games] krzych:
Welcome back Ben :)

You've mentioned something about translations befroe (don't remember exactly what aand where), and I assumed you developed something more in this matter, am I right?
[Android Apps and Games] GraemeEvans:
navigation

Big fan of your app, glad to hear there's a big update on the way. :)

I've just got a question about something, I'd love to be able to ask to navigate to a contact and have it open in a navigation app other than Google map. Right now I use copilot live and when I go to my contact list and click a contact and then click their address it will open copilot and bring up that address. Copilot also seems to monitor the contact list for any with an address and provides a list of them in the copilot menu.

So far I can't find any way of changing utter to open a contact address in copilot rather than Google. Is there any way to do this, or is the a navigation app that utter is currently compatible with?

Thanks again, don't work too hard ;)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Hello stranger, hope you're well! I'll have all of the English phrases used in an external file, so anyone can help with the translation! Hope to have many languages up and running soon!

At the moment I'm afraid I've only built in Waze and Google Navigation. I'll add Copilot to the list of apps I need to look at, but can't promise when I'll get around to it..... So much to do and not enough hours in the day...
[Android Apps and Games] GraemeEvans:
Great, no rush though. I'll check out that waze and see what the maps are like. Is there a list anywhere of the apps you've made utter work with? Edit - never mind I didn't realise the linked applications list contained apps I don't have installed as well.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Anyone using Catch? I installed it, but when I say "new voice note," utter asks me to set the default program in settings. In utter's settings it shows Catch is installed, but no way to link it. Clicking on Catch just opens up Play Store.

What am I missing?

[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Bruce,

Sounds like the same problem it has with tasker. I would think that uninstalling and reinstalling utter might allow it to be seen.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Unfortunately, that didn't help. Unlike Dropbox or Twitter there is no "tap to link" option, so maybe it's never worked. Oh, and now, Twitter authorization fails.

Thanks anyway. :)

[Android Apps and Games] claudiaa:
I couldn't get it to work with Catch but it works great with Gtasks. I like the transparent widget in Gtasks anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
I've used Gtasks before because it integrates with Pure Messenger. I think my problem with it was I couldn't schedule bimonthly events. I'll check it out again. Thanks.

As for Catch, already uninstalled. ;)

Ben, you probably have seen this already, but maybe this will help resolve the issues with backing up settings and data? You probably wouldn't have to worry about when (and even if) Google pushes the backed up data to a new installation.

I can help translating to spanish :)

Message me if help is needed.
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
Havent posted in a while cause I've been hella busy.

Figured that i would get back into testing this like i use to.

Also the tutorial was a nice addition.

You should add an utter trainer.. Something that can quiz the user about proper commands and what not.
[Android Apps and Games] Iamnotacrook:
Just to say that I could maybe give a hand translating to either French or Portuguese.
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
You may find this useful:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/tasker/TCqRCtT1EVQ

It is basically a macro record facility for tasker.

This means in theory you can carry out practically any task on your phone using utter and tasker.

E.g.

Utter: tunein

Opens app TuneIn. opens menu. Selects car mode. Clicks voice search.
[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
This is actually super mega cool, thank you for this post BUT

Been trying for quite a while but can't seem to figure out where I actually put the number of events I want to record. I'm using Smanager, hit the root option and entered some number in the "Argument" box but nothing. Please help
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
No need for the argument box - it asks you for the number when you run it as a script.

I haven't actually got it working yet because it is throwing some errors. Always the problem with scripts... If you are familiar with shell scripts try to edit any errors thrown but follow the basic principle.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thank you! I'll check it out :good:

Glad it worked in the end! Was it a matter of the recognition gradually improving??

Thank you! :good:

That's fantastic, thank you! :good: I'll look in detail at this, as it would be a great way to run some built in Tasks :)

ABOUT TO POST THE REBUILD! - Just writing up the wording!

-----
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Okay..found first bug..:victory:

Installed clean and opened the interface. Started the tutorial..

Utter welcomed me and gave me thirty seconds to memorize the commands.

.Five minutes later it still had not continued the tutorial.

I can't do anything until the tutorial has finished as even turning utter off and on again won't bring it back. Still able to disable the tutorial at the notification bar though.

Also utter is listing when it pops up in the notification area.. it is right if I pull down the notification bar.

Visual results won't disable even though it says that it is.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Doh! First prize to you though! :D

I'm sure that was working earlier! I can replicate... On it now, thanks :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
But wait..theres more :o

Utter stops working every time I try and send a text.

It finds the contact and asks me what I want to say, I give it something simple like hello there and Utter goes in to computing.. then shortly after the pop up, "Utter has stopped working comes up" Does it every time.

Love the speed of it now though...It is listening super quick! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks again :good: Can't replicate that one though... Do you have System Tuner to look for red errors in the log? It might give a clue to where it's failing....

EDIT: I've updated the apk version in the original post above with the tutorial fix
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Hi..email with log on its way..:fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Email works until send. Puts number instead of name.

My text messages work fine

Streaming works-no issues

Reboot worked after exiting utter and works from home screen icon

Alarm-stock app-i have to press done after using command to get it to set. I tried setting specific time-defaults to 9 pm every time

Weather, float commands, date and time all work.

Superuser commands functional- does not ask for permissions.

SPEED IS VASTLY IMPROVED!

Majority of commands execute under .200
[Android Apps and Games] LegendsCrazy:
The status bar shows utter! is "listing" instead of "listening".:laugh: Much faster responses. It got stuck for me too in the tutorial right after the 30 seconds to memorize.

Edit: Superuser reboot shut utter! down and rebooted for me on the second attempt.
[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
When I run the script in smanager it doesn't ask me anything and throw a whole bunch of line telling me about the syntax. No input possible. What do you use to run the script?

[Android Apps and Games] sesshoumanru:
can not wait and i will try it.:D
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Tutorial error fixed..Download utter again from the same post as last time..
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
I also use SManager. I had the same problem initially. if you follow the link and then the link within that to the XDA post, there is a fix. You have to replace the first line in the script.

After that you should be able to specify how many actions are recorded. However I still get some syntax errors. I'll speak to the dev and see if I can find out why. The trouble with scripts is they are pretty phone specific depending on which libraries you have.

New version seems to run nice and quick for me. Only had a chance to test on wifi so far though.

Can't wait for the new features now the base is optimised!

(Also I notice the 'question' function has been disabled. I guess this is just for the testing period.)
[Android Apps and Games] meo:

[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Edit-Specific time for Alarm works!!

EDIT: You CAN set an alarm for a "specific time"

1. Using Military time works very well......

2. P.M. & A.M. works for Even hours but has trouble for (9:15p.m., 9:45p.m etc)

3. Using military time for evening works flawlessly-(22:15, 22:30 etc)

** Syntax:

1. Set an alarm for 7 am.

2. Set an alarm for 9 pm.

*3. Set an alarm for 7:15 (if I use AM it doesn't work)

*4. Set an alarm for 19:15

5. Set an alarm for 7:15 PM (doesn't seem to work)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
V3.0.2.3B up!

Fixed, thank you!

Thanks for confirming.

I can't replicate - what syntax are you using? Thanks for the feedback :good:

LOL! Fixed, thank you. Thanks for confirming on reboot.

Oops, enabled now! Thanks.

I'm not sure?! :D

Thanks for the update - Testing now! :good:

NEW TEST BUILD WRITE-UP FOR THE ATTACHED APK IS HERE
[Android Apps and Games] LegendsCrazy:
I downloaded the tutorial fix and tried to run the tut again. It was fine getting past the 30 sec to memorize but, I got an "unfortunately utter has stopped" error after it asked me to try the "hello how are you" test. It gets stuck in a computing loop and won't continue.

[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for reporting this :good: Any chance you could grab me a log? I posted instructions on this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31666720

You'll just need to filter by errors to catch crash output

EDIT: New test build on the previous page!
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
I hate the idea of losing all of my commands if I clean install this version. However, since the Google restore doesn't seem to work, if I clean install and then use Titanium to restore data, will that muck things up wrt being able to accurately test features?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I'm sorry to admit, but I'm not sure... I still haven't had a chance to look into the backup issues. I'm sure that Titanium will backup all necessary files to restore the app to how it was, but I can't be 100% certain... It's what it's for though, so you'd really hope so!

Superuser Doesn't Exist

My Samsung Galaxy S3 has no "Power User Settings". Under "Settings" there are Wireless & Networks, Device, Personal, Accounts, and System categories. Under no category does "Power User Settings" exist. The closest option is "Security" > "Device Administrators" where there is a list of programs that should have root access. My phone has only "Where's My Droid" and "Tasker" in the list.

Please help me run Utter! with its full power.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
The reference mentioned is in the Utter Application itself (within the menus). It looks as though you are referencing your phone settings, not Utter.

Easy fix.

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Not sure on this one either...I gave up on my commands for a little while until we have a more stable version. However, TB should allow you to save APK Data. I would try that and if it works then please let us know as I could rebuild my commands and restore them to future versions.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
OK, here's what I did and it seems to have worked just fine.

I backed up 3.0.2 with TiBU and uninstalled (it showed as an uninstalled app with 1 backup). I installed 3.0.2.2, but TiBU sees this as the same version (as far as the backup is concerned). So does the Store, which makes sense I guess. Anyway, I restored 'data only' from what's now listed as the 3.0.2.2 backup (but is really data from 3.0.2), which have me back my commands and settings (yea).

I tested setting an alarm (works) and rebooting (utter says she's tired or sleepy - - cute, Ben :) - - and reboots). That's all I've done so far, but restoring data like this doesn't seem to have any negative impact.

Hope all this makes sense. :)

Root Access Failure

After setting my "Superuser Permission" and hearing the "Requesting Root Access", I then tap the microphone icon and say "Superuser Reboot".

Utter! replies "Your device needs to be rooted to use this feature.".

Why does Utter have a Superuser Permission toggle if root access is needed to enable root access?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
It said it in Ben's introduction-for root-. It's only for rooted phones which gives the user special permissions. For instance I have my phone reboot daily at 0400 before I wake up in the morning. Sorry you went through all that for nothing. :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Which version of JB are you running?

Thanks for sharing :good:

Gutted.... :(

A reference to our late Maggie I think! :D

I think GLDavis answered this for you? But being rooted doesn't allow all apps to instantly perform root functions - Your Superuser application 'guards' that. I think from your question you aren't rooted in the first place? Let me know if you want me to explain further.

About to post the next update with a few more fixes in
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
V3.0.2.4B up!

I've quoted the above for ease and back page arrivals!

Various crash and bug fixes and the Jelly Bean synthesised voice (Jelly Bean only!!) is now enabled. You may notice that the two additional http calls to fetch the intro and then the response can add a lot of time (proportionally) to the command, although the toast you get will not include this. I've got a fix coming soon to help speed this up though!

Questions:

Are the ads appearing at the top of each menu screen and in the dialogs? I've enabled some other ad companies (via Google only) and they should appear with better and more aesthetically appealing content. Do they show in both landscape and portrait?

Is the ActionBar displaying an 'arrow' next to the app icon that takes you back to the app home page when pressed? Does it work!?

-------

Looks like there aren't too many bugs, which is a little miracle consider the volume of code changes - Can't complain though! This week, I'll be cracking on with the remaining code I've got to check and prepare for translation - if you do find any bugs or annoyances, please don't hesitate to post about them!

I thank you in advance.

Right, I'm off for a nap - have fun!
[Android Apps and Games] cros13:
Got a quick bug report.

I have an Irish voice (Caitlin TTS) installed that worked OK with the Play store version of utter but is not working at all with the latest beta.

When I select the TTS engine in utter I get "Please select a Voice Engine that has an english voice"

In Language and Input when I select settings for the voice and tap language the available language is: english (IRISH,Caitlin.voice)

I can use SVOX classic without issue.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thank you - I'd not seen the voices by that company! I'll install one and see if I can replicate the problem :good:

Ben, for the alarm issue I'm running JB 4.1.2
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
First I think a full autopsy is required just to make sure that there wasn't any foul play involved.

I do like the idea of a state funeral though. But unless I could get our PM to slip it in with Maggie Thatcher, then I can't see that happening..:(

I wonder if it might be better to donate the body to science. It was a hi tech device of its day so I think it might just appreciate its body going to further research on tech DNA. Who knows, they might just discover a cure for other phones with similar defects because of it. :fingers-crossed:

Unfortunately, that isn't taking its cultural heritage in to account.

As it was South Korean, I guess I should really give it an Asian funeral, Not sure what they do, but If it was a Buddhist then it would be in to reincarnation, so I am thinking that it might really appreciate going to the recycling yard instead of a funereal.:D
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Great. A good sense of humor is always appreciated! By the way I spent a year in Korea and they bury their dead standing up facing the rising sun. This is absolutely True.:rolleyes:

I'm nearly there with the next release - all bugs solved apart from the strange galaxy nexus tts settings issue, all logic rewritten to use the default voice engine language rather than overriding and code rewritten and improved almost everywhere else...

Need to record the 'about' tab introductions to files and change them to play media instead of speak and then I'm there..

I will post the text used so you can convert to your language for the next release - thanks in advance.

I hope there will only be a few framework bugs to fix after that and then it's functionality all the way!

You said before that In order to get other apps to function fully with Utter devs would have to add an unobtrusive line of code.

Would this line of code pose any risk of breaking an apps functionality?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
None at all. I need to wait until out of Alpha and can demonstrate plenty of downloads and then I can approach the applications I want to integrate. I have a list of hopefuls...

Until then, there's plenty of other applications and functions I can build in. Should keep me busy!

Sent from XDA premium app
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
Well that's good... The fact that there isn't a chance of breaking functionality should help most app devs be persuaded to add it

I honestly hope that devs will hop on the utter train but even if they don't I'm sure we will have plenty of stuff to play with

Hey brandall, I may be getting the cart before the horse but um.... I'm a software developer for Android, and I've got a few apps that I'd like to make compatible with your software. When you have a workable alpha/beta, and when you have spare time, I would be VERY interested in adding whatever code would be necessary to make my app compatible with your app (Utter). :)
