Still force closing after installed tts library, uninstall re-install still doesnt work. Who has this working on donut??? Can u post your setup steps? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] jmdrizen:
I currently have this working on 4.1.6-4.1.9.2 (CM Donut experimental builds), as previously posted...

1) Install the "Text-To-Speech Library 1.14" Application by Charles Chen

2) Run "TTS Service" from the Application List, it will say "Please wait while the voice data is being downloaded.........." then closes

3) Run "TTS Service" again to confirm that it has downloaded it all, will now show you default langauge and speech options

4) Install "TTSNotifier 1.6"

5) Run "TTSNotifier" to configure your options

6) Await a call/text...

As I say, works fine here.

Best regards

** UPDATE 28.09.09 **

If you have a DONUT version (1.6 Android) and am using the donut release, you need to also download the Donut TTS files, go to settings, speech... and there will be a link straight to the market place free download...

It works with EVERY version of Cyanogen's ROM's both experimental and stable (to date!)
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Thanks I will give this a shot
[G1 Android Development] rodolfou:
I installed Text-To-Speech Library but it force closes the minute i open the app, it wont get to the part where it should download data.

the notifier also force closes upon launch.

im using CM 4.0.4 with the dark hero theme.

any thoughts?
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Worked like a charm, thank you for your help. Can these steps be posted on the first page??!!
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
After you download the tts library open up your app drawer and click on the app "TTS service" and it will begin to download the data. After that install TTS Notifier and configure your options!!
[G1 Android Development] jmdrizen:
Hey, bit of a maze of questions, but please answer those that are applicable...

Is this since a ROM upgrade? If so, did you complete a wipe before or upgrade from another CM version? If upgrade, from what version?

Do you have many third party applications installed?

Have you tried uninstalling both TTS Library and TTSNotifier, turning the phone off, turning the phone back on, then following the steps that I posted before... to the letter...

Let me know how you get on...

[G1 Android Development] jmdrizen:
Thanks for the mention Zillode... but thank you more for the app!! :-D

This app is awesome. I have been using it every day since it came out. Thanks for all of the work you put into this.

Much appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] ibu2002:
oh its a great app, thanks for that.

But please integrate the tts lib form cynogens 1.6 donut rom ;), it will sounds quite better

[G1 Android Development] Zillode:
As soon as I have the tools/sdk I will integrate it:)
[G1 Android Development] virdi:
Doesn't work on CyanogenMod 4.1.8

It doesn't work on the latest CM build. Is it because of the latest build is donut or something else? I know we need the new sdk to integrate it with the built-in TTS engine but can we have it working just with the old TTS library for now?
[G1 Android Development] jmdrizen:
Works fine on CM 4.1.8 here... have you followed the steps I posted previously???

[G1 Android Development] IConrad01:
Same here -- total failure of operation for 4.1.9.2 No re-installation has any effect.

[G1 Android Development] IConrad01:
Wow. Okay... note to self; apparently I uninstall the TTSNotifier, re-install the TTS library, re-download the /sdcard files, and then re-install the TTSNotifier with each flashing of the ROM.

This might be unique to me, though -- my FAT32 partition got corrupted last month and I've noticed little 'quirks' like this ever since, though fsck.vfat checks never show any problems.
[G1 Android Development] rodolfou:
just did a clean reinstall, it force closes as soon as the TTS Services launches, won't even get to the download part.

ive just reinstalled the TTS Library, with the TTS notifier uninstalled, and it force closes as i said a few lines up.

:(
[G1 Android Development] Zillode:
Maybe an adb logcat (after a force close) can help

new version for donut is out!
[G1 Android Development] gurnted:
Just wanted to mention it seems to still be required when using Donut

I downloaded the new version for Donut earlier. Since you stated the TTS Service from market was not required, I uninstalled it prior to testing. Unfortunately I kept getting messages instructing me to download and install the tts library. So I went ahead and installed it. Everything is now working properly, and using voice synthesis from Donut.
[G1 Android Development] virdi:
woof woof...

you rock!!! +10000000000
[G1 Android Development] Zillode:
thanks for the info
[G1 Android Development] chrisharang:
Awesome, nice work! I hope that the speed at which you were able to make this change is indicative of how straightforward it is for app developers in general to incorporate. In particular, I hope the Co-Pilot guys get on this ASAP, because using this TTS engine to read street names would add a ton of value to their app.

- Chris
[G1 Android Development] Zillode:
Thanks

The SDK TTS and the previous TTS are very much the same. I only had to change 4 lines :)

Can someone let me know if the ttsnotifier-special-ringer function is still working fine? - I specifically point to the delay between the rings and the TTS
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Nevermind.

Thanks for the great work Zillode.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Is anyone else noticing this problem with donut version?

It works great if you receive a phone call a few times.

Let the phone sit about an hour.

TTSNotifier stops speaking callers name.

I was wondering if I have a conflicting app interfering or if there might be a problem with TTS in donut.
[G1 Android Development] MrADeveci:
The new Donut version still requires the TTS from the market :)
[G1 Android Development] IConrad01:
Jinx; you are not alone. Are you using, by any chance, a bluetooth device with A2DP connection to listen to the audio? That's when the fade-in is happening for me.

Very perplexing.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I am not using bluetooth.

I tried it on both CM 4.1.10.1 and CM 4.1.11.1.

For me it works great for the first several calls after install and then it stops playing. Went back to 1.6, which still works great for me.

I believe there might be a problem with the TTS in donut, or maybe there needs to be an additional kill statement or something in the TTSNotifier software that wasn't necessary with com.google.tts.
[G1 Android Development] virdi:
Feature Request: Phonetic Names

Hi Zillode, I have noticed that the TTS engine screws up some names real bad, especially international names. So, I have made some changes to your code (from github) which lets TTSNotifier to speak the phonetically spelled name from the "Notes" field of the Contact (Contacts.Phones.NOTES). If there is nothing available in the Notes field, then it just reads out the DISPLAY_NAME. This improves the spoken name a lot. You can include this feature in the next release if you think this has any value. Just my 2 cents!

private String getContactNameFromNumber(String number) {
String[] projection = new String[] {
Contacts.Phones.NOTES,
Contacts.Phones.DISPLAY_NAME,
Contacts.Phones.NUMBER };
Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_FILTER_URL, Uri.encode(number));
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection, null,
null, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
String name = "Could not retrieve";

String notes = c.getString(c
.getColumnIndex(Contacts.Phones.NOTES));
String dname = c.getString(c
.getColumnIndex(Contacts.Phones.DISPLAY_NAME));
if( notes == null || notes.length()==0 ) {
name = dname;
}
else
name = notes;
return name;
}
return myLanguage.getTxtUnknown();
}

It works for me on CM 4.1.11.1 Did you follow these steps: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4500847&postcount=82

Although, I compiled mine from the source with couple of modifications mentioned in my previous post (2 above this one). Let me know if I can help.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I missed this one. It worked for me a few times and then it would stop saying the name. I could then reinstall the software and it would work a few times and then stop. If Cyanogen pulls through with this Google mess, I may try his next stable version of donut again.

I have made some changes to the non-donut version of this program as well if anyone is interested.

- Allows you to set ringtone volume - which then resets itself to previous value after the phone stops ringing.

- Repeats statement "Phone call from xxx " until phone stops ringing. I had no good luck with the special ringtone.

- Deleted languages other than English and all options other than Phone and SMS notifications.

Only small personal preference changes to Zillode's great software.

[G1 Android Development] jmdrizen:
Hey Zillode,

Just wondering if there is any further work being put in to this... The application is amazing and still works with the lastest CM build, but if you had any other things put in to amaze us...

All the best!
[G1 Android Development] Zillode:
Hello,

I'm still updating the application to the latest TTS release. This means the application will work from cupcake to eclair. I fixed some small bugs and added the 'Note field' patch from jinx1000, but didn't find the need to release it as a new version. I'm waiting for TTS to add more languages or Google to add more Broadcast Intents.

You can go to http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html and search for "Broadcast Action". Every action you find can be supported with this system.

For example: you don't see a calendar broadcast action. This means we cannot support TTS for calendar events. You could start a timer until the next event but I'm afraid of the memory killer, which stops your applications and so you miss the calendar event.

We could ask Google to add more Broadcast Intents, if they agree, we can do a lot of more stuff with this!

New idea's / requests are still welcome.

PS:

I spotted a notifier that does exactly the same thing as the TTSNotifier but with some changes in the configuration menu. (I'm guessing with the same code base)

I also saw a tts notify widget which got started based on this thread.
[G1 Android Development] Zillode:
See post above: GPS fix is not broadcasted, read or request this at http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers

[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Zillode your still around. Awesome.

I have a request. I have tried to figure it out myself but have been unable. I don't think it is currently possible with Android which seems ridiculous to me.

Is there any way to prevent the TTS from speaking for an incoming call waiting call?
[G1 Android Development] Zillode:
Try EXTRA_STATE_OFFHOOK. Let me know how far you came / what you tried, I might have some time at the end of the week.

grts
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I am pretty sure I tried that. I tried everything in the intent that I could to see what it contained.

The intent that the receiver is sending only contains information about the new thing coming in. Right? So it only sees that the phone is currently ringing. I am very novice so this could be completely incorrect.

Mostly what I did was search google for many hours. Other people were having the same problem. Google development site said that they did not provide an API as an answer to similar question. That seems to be their answer to almost everything lol.

It may be next weekend before I get a chance to look at it again as well.

I have used it the opposite way, detect RINGING, then stop something when it goes OFFHOOK.

i heard the hero just passed the fcc for cdma, idk if it has to be for sprint, i mean verison wireless is cdma.

if sprint is the only one to sell it can you still activate it for vzw?

does anybody know if they are going to take out ram or something?

lastly does anybody have a guess on price?

[Touch HD General] paspa86:
hi, I don't know the program you are using, but I suggest you to use "change screen" or "flip it". in change screen you can set the orientatio of the display for every appliaction you want creating an exception.

bye, and good luck :)

Nicola
[Touch HD General] mets3214:
can u please post links of changescreen and flip it. i cant seem to fined that
[Touch HD General] afr33s:
Use Long-Press of call button

You can assign a long press of your call button to put the phone in landscape - it's obviously not automatic but it works.

Start>settings>buttons> then choose <rotate screen>.

Only works in Manila 2+ (cooked) ROMS
[Touch HD General] jonifen:
You can enable this option in HDTweak/Advanced Config too :)

I did it this way myself as I'm using the stock ROM at the moment.

One thing to note though is that TouchFlo doesn't support landscape so if you close an app in landscape mode (thereby going back to Today/TouchFlo) the picture will go a bit screwy before reverting back to portrait.
[Touch HD General] Fuzz_:
use gsen then configure it to use those apps only.

Edit: That's a great idea. Now I have a need to install it.

[Touch GSM General] Guestk0024:
If its a new device (or newly hard-reset) the Smart Mobility screen can stay on for anything up to 5 whole minutes until it goes to Windows Mobile.

If it goes past 7 minutes, I'd return to manufacturer or wherever you got it from.
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
If its a new device.

Send it back for a one-to-one exchange, no point waiting for Windows Mobile to start.

You can try to re-hard reset it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jessiethe3rd:
I have searched high and low for this and wasn't quite sure if anyone has seen a tweak or a fix for the issue. HTC Touchflo defaults back to the home screen after the device is pulled out of the suspend mode. I find this rather irritating and wish there was either a.) a way to just keep the phone in the state it was in suspend, or b.) some type of time out to divert back to the home screen .... say 5-10 minutes. There's nothing I find more irritating then having to pause what I was doing to return back to my phone and bam... I have to either dig down through the task manager to get back to what I was doing or in most cases (as it relates to HTC Touchflo) restart what I was typing (like a text message in Touchflo 2.1.)

Seems like such a simple thing but I haven't found any where to either modify the timeout to homescreen.

Any help or recommendations would be useful. I'd also be willing to put up some $$$ for a fix :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cameraddict:
I second that. Quite irritating!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] V6-Maniac:
Indeed it's irritating, but i have test it on my own Pro II.

And it seems i do not have this problem.

If i open a new message or totalcommander for example.

And let the timeout do his work or i shut my Pro II off with the powerbutton.

And switch it on after 1, 5 or 10 minutes it goes back directly where it was.

•Multiple thumbnail options

•Picture editing (red-eye, brightness, contrast, and more)

•Storage card notification with common tasks

•Batch optimizing of photos

•Web publishing (Flickr, Fotki.com, and more)
