This is exactly what I've been looking! Problem is I have no other voice program to take over from Google Now. Can anyone recommend some alternatives? I'm on Galaxy Nexus and there is no more "voice dialer" program on the phone and I don't have s-voice.

Eva voice assistant is one, lots of features

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NCguy:
If you are on an android version that permits 3rd party voice dialers as the default (I think 4.1.2 and above), then try cyberon voice commander from the play store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snowmobiledog:
This is what I've been looking for! However, after following the steps...when I press my bluetooth button on my jawbone I get the choice between EVA and Google Search. If I select Google Search it takes me to a blank grey screen for a few seconds and then back to the home screen.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Sorry, I forgot to add I'm on 4.1.2 Team D.I.R.T. Unofficial AOKP

Alternative method of choosing Bluetooth button app.

Like others in this post, I also do not have the option in ti backup to switch Google Search to a user app. I am running rooted stock 4.2.1 JOP40D However, I think I found a solid workaround.

1. Download the free app Bluetooth Launch https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kin.bluetooth_launch&hl=en and run it.

2 Find the Google Search drop down in the list of apps (don't let the ugly interface discourage you)

3 Select com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity for the "Voice Search" or select com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.SearchActivity to load the Google Now cards screen. exit the app.

4 Hit the physical Bluetooth button; you will now be presented with the choice to select the default app. Choose Bluetooth Launcher and select Always.

5 The button will now load the "Voice Search" app instead of the stock Bluetooth Dialer.

Some notes:

-The default Bluetooth Dialer now seems to be an activity within the Google Search app in Jellybean and no longer its own standalone app.

-The Voice Search does not make the cool beep noise for some reason when launched using the method above (read below for my attempt at a workaround.)

-When using it to launch the cards screen, the Google header with the mountains does not show, just the cards.

-The Google Search app still does not use the Bluetooth microphone for its input. It is a known issue for two years. Please complain here. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8973

-This may be a deal breaker for some, if using a keyguard, the app will load but the phone will have to be manually unlocked before speaking. This also could maybe be worked around using an app like Tasker with app factory.

Notes on the lack of beep sound.

I thought this was merely an issue of launching the app via its activity com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity ... as loading the Voice Search app via the icon plays the sound fine through my speakers.

As another attempt at a workaround, I used Tasker app factory to simply have a load app task to manually run the voice search app and then told Bluetooth Launcher to run that app instead. Unfortunately, this also did not play the "Listening" beep sound as I anticipated. Perhaps it could work on other roms. So hopefully I can get some feedback.

I hope this helps someone. I look forward to your replies.

Thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Guardian_Bob:
I've actually moved on to brewing my own. Cheaper overall, and by far better. Anyways I've sent you an e-mail, look at it, I'll see if I can do anything for you.

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

So there exists one workaround we've found tonight, disable playing of media through the bluetooth device. It appears to be an issue with the activity trying to play a sound and getting locked up. Unfortunately that may not be enough for everyone, which means I either have to alter the bluetooth settings on the fly or try something else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cabibi:
I've also noticed that when you disconnect and reconnect your bluetooth it works the first time only, as long as Master = True in your audio.conf file.

In addition, Force closing Google Search also allows your bluetooth launcher to work again without getting stuck on Initializing, again, only the first time. You have to force close it again to get it to work.

So.... as a result of that... I've been able to somewhat get it working with tasker. Basically, For every app you want to launch with bluetooth through google voice search, you have to configure Google Search to force close.

I'm sure you can customize your own profiles, but the way it works on my phone is this way:

3 apps needed: BluetoothLaunch, Tasker, Car Home Ultra

Note, the Kill option in tasker does NOT work... you have to run a shell script as a root task. the command is :

am force-stop com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

I have it set to run on separate exit and start up profiles for Play Music, Navigation, Phone, SMS, Clock, Voicemail, and maps, ONLY when bluetooth is turned on... Basically I have Car Home Ultra set to turn bluetooth on when I place my phone in the car dock, and set to turn off on exit so none of the tasks are active unless my phone is in the car dock.

So basically, the end result is, whenever one of those above programs starts or exits, via the commands "Listen to..", "Set Alarm", Navigate to", or "Call whoever", tasker force closes google Search, and the bluetooth launch will work without getting google search "stuck on initializing" when you try to use it again.

It's a hack - no doubt - but it does work. I'd definitely like to see what Guardian-Bob can do though because this workaround isn't without it's glitches, not to mention it's alot of leg work.

Honestly, I suspect that the upgrade to jelly bean, with google now, keeps google now open when the old voice search on ICS> never stayed open as a running program. I think that, combined with the way the bluetooth stack handles media connections (since the old voice search never worked over bluetooth), are the reasons Bluetooth Launch is now getting Duplicate finish warnings when the media function is enabled on your bluetooth device. Maybe Bob can configure his app to use a Finishall() command that would prevent the duplicate finishes from leaving google voice suck on initializing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] docfleetwood:
Could you PLEASE, please, please, allow the screen to shutoff after running a Google Now search using bluetooth. I have everything working on my Galaxy Note II using Bluetooth Launch, but the phone screen does not turn back off after doing a search. Is there a reason that you need to keep the screen on? Or is it a side-effect of something else? I might think it was just me but I have seen others comment on the same problem. Does it happen to everyone?

Thanks for the effort at this insanely annoying Android bluetooth problem!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] riot1031:
Can ypu please give us some more info on how you acomplished this? I got Bluetooth Launch to launch Google Search, but like you said, it only works once. You need to FC it before it works again. I'd like to know more about how you use Tasker to kill Google Search each time so that it works on the next Bluetooth button press!! Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] convergence138:
I would like to point out that this seems to require the PAID version of the app. I cannot perform the action "convert to user app" unless I have the "donate version".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfetaz:
I know I haven't posted in this thread in a long while, but for those having issues with converting to user app, there is a different way that has worked for me in the past, if your rooted. You can uninstall the Google search app from either titanium backup or by going to system/app and rename all the files associated with it (as a backup). Then you go to the play store and download Google search. When you do this it installs Google search as a user app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BuddhaTeh1337:
is voice dialer hidden in anyone elses app list? i cant find it to disable it at all and its driving me insane. got titanium to convert google search perfectly though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eirh:
Definitely a deal breaker. What's the point in finding different ways of starting the app, if you at the end still need to manually unlock the phone...

If there are workarounds for this, please post them! Thanks!

Hello all

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to hide the fact my EVO is rooted from the bright house tv app?

All the I devices in my house can use it but when I open it on my phone it won't work and says the reason is because it's rooted.

Is there anyway to hide the fact I'm rooted from this one app without actually unrooting?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ca1ne:
Have you tried supersu, it has a hide feature that should work. Also for reference might want to post in q&a next time. Good luck with the app
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 2k4mach:
well if its like the time warner app all i gotta do is disable supersu and i can stream tv.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sinnedone:
I'm running meanrom and have supersu, but don't see an option to hide. The app itself doesn't request root it just checks if you're rooted.

I haven't tried disabling supersu, how do you do it?

Thanks for the first help. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 2k4mach:
its on the settings tab, uncheck enable superuser. thats all i have to do to get the time warner app to stream.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ca1ne:
Thanks, that's what I meant, lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sinnedone:
I just finished doing that And cleared App data for the bright house tv app and supersu and it still says I can't do it on a rooted device. :(

Why so much hate towards root, I mean I have to log in and can only use it at my own house where I pay for my services so I don't see what the problem is.

Is that check something that can be pulled out of the apk itself?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
It could be taken out, u just need to find someone who has it that wants it out to do it for u.

Also, try disabling su, clear brighthouse data/cache, then reset phone. Still not working?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sinnedone:
Well, I disabled supersu.

Cleared bright house tv app data in settings.

Booted into recovery and cleared cache and dalvik.

Still no go as far as hiding to it the fact I'm rooted. It still knows I'm rooted and won't play. :(

I'm not about to unrooting for this one app either. Just wished it would work. Damn u bright house

Hi all, hope someone can help on point in right direction.

Main question #1, trying to do everything on Parallels should I just get bootcamp installed and then report back?

Main question #2, I have the U20i Model, how do I root? I've having trouble finding a guide

Have tried my best too look for these answers.. have read up on how to installing everything needed from scratch and my final result I wanted was to get MiniCM7 installed.

I have installed parallels as I'm on Mac and I think I got my phone rooted by SuperOneClick, then moved onto installing my recovery CMW but had problems trying to do it manually with Root Browser, it would not let me move or copy the files to the right directory.

I then tried the automatic installer 5 and I get the image attached... which does not look right and I could not boot into CMW.

Would doing this all on Bootcamp make things much much easier?

[edit] also my phone is an 2011 U20i model Mini X10 mini pro, older version though without the circle style home button - AAAK 11W01
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
You aren't able to root your phone with superoneclick. Look in my signature for an easy tutorial (but for windows).

Maybe really install it with bootcamp or parallels, there are some test .iso files from microsoft 7 which are for 1 month or similar time and after that you have to activate. Just try it and install MiniCM7 and after that maybe buy windows 7 or if the phone runs stable then, uninstall windows 7...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] StevenArnoldi:
Hey thanks a lot Mihahn!

Just a another quick question, can I update the firmware and then root after that? Or does the firmware update when I do all the MinimCM7 stuff?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
I just realized, that your phone model is anotherone. So you can't root with my method. Please go to the u20i forum and ask there again!

I don't know if there is a MiniCM7 rom for your phone, just search there...

Sorry, but better look up here in xperia mini forum ;)

EDIT: Superoneclick maybe works for the u20i, but I thought you have the sk17i! Thanks that you edited it!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] StevenArnoldi:
No problem, just need to find out how what firmware version I have.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
That's the wrong guide go to u20i forum x10 mini (pro) like the link I posted earlier. Because this guide is for sk17i, st15i etc and not for your specific phone model ;)

Also Ubuntu is much more geared toward android development then mint or fedora. While many of the guides you find for android development require or strongly recomend linux they are usually written for Ubuntu, and to get them to work on mint or fedora can be a pain due to package differences and other subtle differences.

Building from source is also possible on fedora I believe. You just need to install the build-essentials package as it installs all the required packages for building. And then install the gcc toolchain

I've compiled cm7 kernel on arch Linux. The thing with arch Linux is its time consuming to set up and you must know what you are doing. Incase anything happens you might have to investigate. Arch Linux is a great distro as everything is almost always up to date. (Software repo called AUR) and you have full control over everything. It is so customizable that no two installs are the same.

You don't have to downgrade if you don't want too. Unfortunately compliling anything other then the master branch of AOSP only has experimental support on 12.04. While you can compile other stuff there are some tweaks and other changes you'll probably need to make. Also things that compile fine on 10.04-11.10 will often result in compile errors on 12.04. Obviously these problems will eventually be sorted out they just can make things frustrating at times.
