[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Popeye_NL:
I'll try TB. In settings - apps I don't have the option to uninstall updates.

I'm quite a noob in all this. I have installed the latest Malaysk rom. Does that mean I'm rooted?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] hans109h:
Uninstall from TB will work.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Popeye_NL:
I just installed 3.6.16 and so far it seems stable. 10 out of 10 searches without crash.

Is this version only for web search? When I say "turn bluetooth off" (in Dutch) I get the search result instead of turning bluetooth off.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Tumke32:
The strange thing with this version is i can´t voice dail. I only can navigate. I´m dutch to, sow for example `navigeer (navigate) dorpsstraat 34 Amsterdam` works. But when i for example say ´bel (call) Jan janssen´ i get a websearch result while Jan Janssen is in my google contact list.

edit: i can use the word "call" to call contacts. But the dutch word for call is not working, in newer version it works, just like the auto spell correction of the contact names. Right now he does not find contact names when they are wrong spelled by google. In newer versions it looks like google compares the spelled names with the one in the contact list and corrects them if they are wrong spelled.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
Popeye, Tumke, I only use English - maybe there is an issue with the language pack - have you downloaded the most recent ones for Dutch and set it to default language etc?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
Hi all,

So a bit more tinkering here and there. Still absolutely no crashes with 3.6.16 - the main deficiencies of it are it not doing the play music command (i.e. open poweramp) and offline voices don't work - don't know why as I thought they should on that version.

So to try and overcome this, I started playing with some other voice apps. The best one I found was utter! which is in beta and unfortunately the dev seems to have abandoned it, but it is very powerful. (Another one that could be used us KLetts).

Anyhow, with Utter installed, and whilst the HU has internet connectivity, then this is basically an enhancement to google voice and it still uses google server if the app understand anything. Now if I say play ..., it does open up poweramp - so whilst online all is good.

Utter also retains some functionality whilst offline/no internet connectivity. This seems to operate really well sometime and not other times - its a bit frustrating, but sometimes I can get it to voice dial correctly, and to open up music and other times it stubbornly refuses to understand me. Today I did a trial with my phone located near a vent and mobile data off - and utter worked pretty well offline so I wonder if it is my microphone on the HU (which I haven't adapted) that could be made better - or is it the processing power difference???

Another big advantage in utter is word replacement - for example it seems to find it tough to recognise 'call' (often thinks I've said 'cool') so I fixed it that when it recognises the word 'dial' from me to replace it with 'call'. You can also use this to get around foreign language, e.g. replace whatever call is in your native language with 'call' etc.

So, all in all - some big strides I think to having really good voice control, but it's not quite there - need to get offline working better. (And also I can't seem to get an intent to work with SWC (which again I can do on my phone) so I've still got to figure that one out.)

For those interested in trying this, I would really like to know other people's experiences - and there is a long utter! thread elsewhere on xda.

Cheers

Also, ok google does not work w/ this version. In fact I think it was before it was even around.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
I wasn't planning on using okay google as I had mapped it to a key - but I know utter has an always listening function (you can set the phrase I think) so utter could be used to also fix this.

Just need to sort better offline on utter (so its as good as my phone offline) and that would be it good enough for me....
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] retarded1:
Did you get utter to stop beeping while it's in listening mode?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
Doesn't beep for me. I remember that this was an issue on the beta (I read the last hundred of pages of the utter app xda thread) and its definitely an issue, but one that I think there was a fix. Can't remember exactly what it was, but maybe if you head over and search that thread you could resolve it (and post findings here).
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
So I looked again this morning and the Google app definitely has ok google detection - I set mine up, but then it wouldn't actually detect when I tried it - which was a bit strange...
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
Dave - am I right in thinking that you removed the internal mic and routed the connections to an external mic? In which case you should have as good a mic as possible!

I'm trying to investigate fact that utter offline on the HU doesn't work as well as utter offline on my phone - one possible difference is the mic.

If possible would you have a chance to try utter beta app, google 3.6.16, default US language with offline pack installed - wifi on HU off/no data connection - and let me know how good or bad the offline language detection is. Mine is average - prob 50% hit rate on correctly trying to start music or make a call.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
Correct,I can try later. What commands are you using to start music/make a call, etc?

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Praha_Jim:
Walthrough

Hiya guys. I'm really REALLY grateful for this thread as it gives me some hope of getting the functionality I want from the unit.

As an absolute imbecile when it comes to this kind of stuff, could you please stick a walk-through here?

I've installed titanium backup, got the pro version, downloaded com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-3.6.16.1614640.arm-300306160-minAPI16.apk from a link in a prior post, put it on an sd card and am ready to go out to the car and give it a whirl. The bit I'm not really sure about is what exactly I'm supposed to be removing? do I delete the googlequicksearchbox and install the new apk? I saw something about removing updates as well?

I'm sorry guys for the need of it spelling out, but I'm not so savvy on these things but as you seem to have some success, a brief walk-though here might help other idiots like me who come through looking for a solution :)

BTW, I'm running on a custom Malaysk ROM with root
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
Dave, I'm just saying "call xyz", or "contact xyz" as I have set up contact as a replacement word for call and it often seems to think I'm saying cool. Then for music is "play xyz".

Basically I would be interested in how many correct his you get with Internet convected vs Internet not connected. There's quite a difference in the head unit, but not on my android phone where offline is pretty good (if you have a chance maybe you could do the same on your phone with Internet convected and then in no WiFi, no mobile data mode to compare).
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
If you are on Malaysk, then I think the default google app is too high a version that there is no point rolling back updates. So you have to use titanium backup to uninstall the Google app.

It's a case of either doing uninstall updates of your ROM has an old google app or using titanium backup.

Once you've done that it's just a case of installing the new apk by clicking on it and hitting install.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
I'm failing to understand this utter app. I have it enabled and it says permanent recognition commands are start listening, wake up , okay google and stop listening. I am confused as ok google opens google, does it work in conjunction with google? How do I voice activate utter to listen? I have wake up phrase checked also. I got it to work one time but then after it said im awake and made the call it isn't listening anymore.

**UPDATE**

Ok I sort of have it working. However there seems to be quite a delay between the time i say one command and the time I can say wake up again to try another command. Also I need to find out why it is beeping so much.

Dave

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
The beeping is strange, can I check what google app version is being used and that you are using the latest utter beta app (3.1.2b - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58777792&postcount=7154). There are quite a few posts on the utter thread about beeping. Maybe you need to turn ok google off from inside of the google app?

The listening commands (i think) are: wake up, okay google.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] retarded1:
The beeping is actually come from the Google app.. And I don't think anyone ever got it to stop. IMO the app works better offline than online . but I got pissed off and delete it
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
That's interesting - I don't get beeping when I have tested it with always listen on. But i don't actually plan on having mine on always listen as I'm happy to have it mapped to a SWC.

Also, very interesting you said works better offline than online - can you please elaborate on that?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] retarded1:
when i use permanent recognition, it seems to keep google open and it beeps cause its looking for input, when i use it online it takes for ever to process a command if at all. offline it voice dials right away, if i make a custom command to " open poweramp" it works fairly well. i do get alot of ambient noise errors thought, have to roll up windows and mute the radio. iam using the mode switch work around aswell maybe that helps the offline http://xdaforums.com/android-auto/m...t/app-modeswitch-spotify-swc-control-t3310966.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
Ok thanks - what unit do you have and have you done any modification to the microphone?

Thanks
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] retarded1:
I have one from autopumpkin 3066 800x400. No mic mods. I had an idea to decompile the Google search app and remove the sound files but I get a parsing error when I reinstalled it. I've never messed with an .apk before so I probably did it wrong
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
That's really interesting, because decompiling the app is something I want to look into, but again I have never done such a thing.

The key thing I want to look at is what were the changes between 3.6.16 and 4.1.x - because 3.6.16 doesn't crash and >4.1.x does. On the off chance that it leads to a chain of enquiry and identifies what is causing the crashing with later google app versions. But I barely have time to mess with utter - and I want to get this stable in the first instance as I feel I'm almost there with it and it will keep me going until better progress is made with google app or something else.

Have you got any links on how to decompile the google app?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] retarded1:
I just googled it but I couldn't get it to work. Got a virus though. Download an apk editor from the play store and I'm playing with that right now.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Tumke32:
Decompiling is pretty easy, I've done it hundreds of times. Use this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2213985
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
The odd thing is if I say wake up and then ask it to do something I Need to wait at least 45 seconds before I can do another wake up command When it works it is great but the wake up command rarely works.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] retarded1:
Thanks. I give it a try later

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

I think it has todo with the mic not being available. I think that's why the newer Google apps crash to. I've had errors that said something about the mic not available
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
I had that too, but only on higher versions of the Google app. You don't get it in 3.6.16, so it must be something in the Google code for higher version apps.

BTW To Vert- What google app version are you using Dave?

And also I don't get the delay after requesting utter voice listening.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] retarded1:
So I took Google search 3.6.16 and moded it to have no sound. So now utter stops beeping in offline mode. I noticed that you do have to wait about 45 secs if the voice command fails. I set some custom commands like " open power amp" and "open chrome" and they work pretty good. Utter does have a some problems understanding me but I'm sure it will learn. I'll put a link to the modded Google apk if anyone want to play with it

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
Small update after playing a bit more this weekend. I tried out the latest google now (in a hurry but forgot to note which google now version it actually updated me to!). The version seemed more stable than quite a few others but still crashed occasionally.

The reason I wanted to try an updated version was to see if there was better voice recognition offline (there seems to be a larger offline file offered on later versions) and whether you would still see crashes if going through utter with google in the background as such. If anything, it seemed to understand me worse not better and you do still get google app crashes when activated through utter. Reverted to 3.6.16 and all stable again.

Managed to make an app which launches bluetooth and then utter and code that to a SWC key - just need to check it doesn't do the putting in last dialled number think on repeat pressing.

Overall, fairly happy with the voice activation I now have - works very well online (with customization in utter to fall back on - e.g. library to go straight to poweramp library, some shortcuts for names) and ok offline (and most of the time it is online as its connected to a phone hotspot).
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] jakejm79:
What is the purpose of launching the bluetooth app first?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
It is reflective of the way that I want to be mainly reliant on SWC in my car (rather than looking at the screen and touching the screen) and that I only really need utter for a) dialling b) navigate commands c) playing music.

So one main reason is that if I am in radio or dvd etc and then launch utter, it doesn't mute the other sound sources so it is harder for the device to pick up my voice. By switching to bluetooth it mutes these other sources.

Additionally the SWC button I am reprogramming was the launch bluetooth button anyway, so this was I still have access to that screen through pressing the same button and then saying 'cancel'.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] jakejm79:
OK, you could create a task/app with tasker that would launch AV In (assuming you don't have a source connected to that) and then launch the voice search (or utter) activity. You could then use MTC keys to launch the created app/task with whatever button you liked. This would give you everything you want with no worries about the double press launching the last called number.

Alternatively the latest mod for android controlled audio has automatic muting of all audio sources when there is a request by the service for recording, so radio/system/BT/DVD all mute automatically when launching voice search and unmute once the voice search app is done recording.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
Thanks for your reply. I did actually start by doing exactly what you suggest (i.e. AV then launch voice), but wanted it to have it as an indirect way to get to bluetooth, so I moved to launching bluetooth, pause, open utter. The annoying this is I then also created a profile which detects the bluetooth app opening and sets a variable to 2, and then sets it to 1 when the bluetooth app is moved away to. I then amended the original task to only launch bluetooth if the variable was 1. This worked great on testing, but when I exported it as an app so I can set it to a button press on MTC keys, it doesn't seem to recognise the variable and doesn't work. I'm very new to tasker but it was a bit annoying it doesn't work.

Can I ask for more information about the latest mod which mutes sources - where do you get this mod from?

I'm considering amending my approach and instead using modeswitch to get the bluetooth on the mode button cycle so I can still easily get to it, but then just leaving the SWC to mute other sources and launch utter so more info on the automatically mute would be great!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] jakejm79:
Its in the Hardware subforum, its 7floor's android audio control or something like that, basically it makes it so the android system (via an xposed module) controls the volume and audio sources.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
Oh, a hardware mod. Yeah, I've been avoiding opening mine up - though should really consider doing the audio and mic mod...
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] bigfire:
Thank you so much for this thread. I've been tearing my hair out trying to get OK Google to work reliably, and now it does.

I'm currently using the Malaysk rom, does anybody know if I could achieve the same result with the factory Joying ROM?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Mr Bigglesworth:
Great, glad the thread helped you out. For me good voice activation is what can set these units apart so getting it working is good. I had done all my findings in 4.4.4 on a stock (but rooted) ROM so don't see why you would have any issues on a stock Joying ROM.

5.1.1 is another matter though and causing me problems!!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] bigfire:
Thank you for the reply. Yeah, I restored the Joying rom (was having problems with Malaysk and the brightness setting) and it worked great. I'm writing up instructions for them now to put on their blog. And yes, I agree, the voice command plus Google Maps is really why I bought the unit.

Possibly. However, there is no recovery for our device listed on the recovery page. The fact that recovery breaks the boot.img without root sounds shaky though. I'll try it a few different ways. DL is done. Flashing now.

This is 100 percent stock.. from Sam Mobile..

Hell it came out early this morning.. No one has had the time yet to make a custom version..

I don't recommend updating from a Custom ROM..

If your 100 percent 5.1.1 Stock you can flash this with ODIN with no problems..

Oh its a Zipped .Tar file.. Don't try to flash the Zip.. Again do NOT try and flash the .Zip.. it will fail and you will be stupid to try..
