Bluetooth Voice Dialer

It depends. There was a change in the VoiceDialer app on 24AUG that fixed the long press of the call button launching the Bluetooth voice dialer. This had the side effect of some Bluetooth headsets launching the standard voice dialer instead of the Bluetooth voice dialer.

Attached are VoiceDialer apps that are reverted to the previous behavior. This means that your headset should function as before, but long pressing the call (green) button will launch the Bluetooth voice dialer. You can still bring up the standard Voice Dialer from the app drawer, or add a shortcut to a home screen.

Just replace /system/app/VoiceDialer.apk with the appropriate EXTBLU or VANILLA version, reboot, and you will be back to the pre-24AUG behavior.

Sweet this fixed the problem with my Plantronics Voyager Pro headset.

Thanks so much for this fix!! So nice to have this back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
I must assume you have tried later versions; what exactly happens if you try 2.02 that prevents it from working? Or (and this is the one that I use) 2.05-pre8? Also, are you installing over the top of 1.60, or have you tried uninstalling 1.60 and then installing a more current version?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mattynealo:
I was running 1.6 until I saw this post so I tried to upgrade. Once I upgraded to 2.0.2 it said unable to start. I went to 2.0.5Pre9 and I had the same issue unable to start.

I went to manage applications and moved the app to my phone and clear all data. and now 2.05pre9 is working great.

Hopefully this helps

Batter Draining Quick

Any tips on how to conserve battery?...I flashed the battery tweak but don't really understand how to get the best performance and battery life trade off. Anybody care to share how they get the best of both worlds???...:confused:

Email force close

Hey guys Im wondering if anyone else is getting a force close when creating an email account? It allows me to set the servers and verifies and set the options but when I click finish I get a force close message and the account is never added. Any Ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
I personally found the battery tweak to be more of a detriment than a benefit. The easy way to improve battery life is to set your screen off settings to 245min/352 max, screen on settings to 537min/768max (or whatever your phone can handle max). Also, set AutoKiller to Strict, and Autorun Killer not to launch excess programs at startup. IMHO, the single greatest thing you can do for battery life is get UltimateJuice (the paid version of JuiceDefender). It controls your APN (data) settings, activating it only on a user-specified interval while the screen is off, as well as a few other settings that improve battery life. The reader on the program says it is improving my battery by 2.19x, but I was getting 17-20 hrs with my old setup and now i get over 50. Can't rave about it enough.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Thanks for the tips guys. I finally figures out what was messing it up for me. For some reason I needed to clear user data before uninstalling 1.60 or I would get some random could not start wireless tether or no root permission errors. Not really sure why I couldn't just uninstall. Hopefully this helps someone else out there.

Hey guys I was reading this long thread and several people complained about the mms. I can not either receive or send mms but in truth there is a solution to this thanks. A solution if no functions are of importance but it should have.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Type this into a windows cmd prompt and it should fix mms. Just be aware this deletes all messages!!!

adb remount

adb shell

cd data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases

rm telephony.db

rm mmssms.db

exit

Anybody else having problems pairing their bluetooth with this version. I flashed and went to pair my bluetooth and it brings up the passcode box and before I can type in 2 of the 4 digits the keyboard disappears and it says there was a problem pairing. I have tried this 5 times now and once out of the 5 I was able to get all 4 digits into the box before it disappeared and still said there was a problem pairing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
Check to make sure that the original was deleted. If you have both the old VoiceDialer.apk and the reverted version, you could be using the old file after a reboot. I have rebooted several times while performing other updates and testing, and it is still working for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
What ROM are you flashing? Was it working before you flashed? If so, with what ROM version? Did you wipe if you were coming from another ROM? Have you updated the Voice Dialer app?

What model headset are you pairing? Both my Motorola and Jawbone pair without needing a passcode entered.

Sorry for the 20 questions routine. Just looking to get some additional background that may be helpful.

quick question

I have the vanilla 29 version to flash to the sept 09 version do i need to wipe anything or just flash the new version, also will i need to re-flash gapps? thanks for the help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
You could flash straight over, however I recommend a full wipe. It will clear out any problems that 29 had, whereas those same problems could remain without wiping. If you choose to just flash over, though, you do not need to reflash gapps.

Froyo Hero to the rescue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
To make /system writable, use this command:

adb remount​

Then you should be able to:

adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceDialer.apk​

Thanks for your reply but this did not work for me. The problem is that when you send picture message is sent is not complete the action. Neither receives picture messages. The text ok. Any other person with this problem.

However, this is a good rom for me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jaybob413:
First of all, my thanks to tquetano for all the support provided to the thread. I currently don't have the time to help that much, and I appreciate the donation of your time to help others out. I know I am not alone there.

Minor point of clarification, if you are flashing over a previous version after wiping, you don't really need to reflash gapps either. The updater-script will run backuptool.sh (from /system/bin) prior to formatting the system partition. This will backup the gapps files (you can check the script to see what's copied), and restore them after installing the files from the ROM.

This means that if you really want to go back to a completely clean start, and get rid of the existing gapps, you should format the system partition after the factory wipe. You can do this from the partition menu in clockworkmod recovery.

dreaded Exchange Activesync error

I'm getting the "Setup could not finish" and "Unable to open connection to server" error when trying to setup my Exchange account. I change my ActiveSync policy on my Exchange server (Exchange 2010 SP1) to "allow nonprovisionable devices" but still get the error. Anyone have any ideas on fixing this?

I can also turn on IMAP on Exchange, but then it doesn't sync my contacts...

after a disappointing first try, i did the 09 update vanilla a couple days ago, to give it a second chance.

so far so good.

once i flashed the rom w/ rom manager (cleared the two cacehs it offers, only. i dont know/think it did dav) i rebooted and did the battery wipe.

im still fighting some issues w/ apps running when i dont want them to. not everything should multi task all the time.

i have some apps running to keep the battery alive longer

advanced task killer

autorun killer, i need to hit the donate...

juice defender, free. the reviews on it didnt sound like the paid version helps.

smoda widget

im half tempted to remove the amazon mp3 app, i want to be able to buy stuff that way, but i dont want it running all the time.

same w/ titanium backup, i want it, i want to use it, i dont want it on all the time.

it seems like the first few percent on my battery drain off very quick, then the lower it drains the longer it takes to drop.

one thing that definitely jumps out at me is how slow it is to charge now.

i usb tether my phone most days, on freshrom this was no big deal. the phone would be all charged up by the time i was done surfing. not so much anymore.. im at 58% charged now, and charging. i will try to post when i see its at 100%. i expect that to be around midnight.

otherwise, im pretty happy w/ it 2 days in..

EDIT:i cant get active sync to work with my outlook.com account. but i blame MS for that...

I am pairing the jabra bt3010. I had the Sep4 rom and the bluetooth was working fine with it. I wiped the davlik and flashed the sep9 rom and the bluetooth would not pair. I did a factory reset/full wipe and then flashed the sep9 rom and it still wouldn't pair. I restored the backup of the sep4 rom and it paired just fine. I am using the updated voice dialer app. My bluetooth always asks for the generic passcode of 0000.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] masterfuel:
after updating the rom, does the battery tweak need to be flashed also? or will it still work as it should?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
If you set autokiller at the right setting, its all you need. I had advanced task manager, the paid version, before discovering this. Autokiller alone works much better, very smooth. I recommend "strict" setting.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] vestaviajag:
Hey, this ROM is pretty BAMF. I love it so far, it's fast and does things so much easier than the 2.1 I had on it. I do have one concern though that hopefully someone can help me with;

I'm using handcent, the only issue I have with it is 2 different notifications show up. A orange little icon (which I set in handcent...) and a black one that looks exactly the same as the handcent one. It's quite annoying as I get both icons for 1 sms.

I've tried to disable the notifications, and the black one still shows up. The only way to make it disappear in the status bar is to press clear, reading the sms doesn't clear it like the orange one would. I didn't have this issue with 2.1, so I assume that it is messing with the skin or something.

I'm using the Vanilla 9/4 version. Please help, as I'm OCD and this is driving me crazy! THanks

edit: another weird thing, when the black icon shows up, sometimes it takes me to Handcent, and sometimes it takes me to Androids sms app... weird
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
That sounds a lot like the stock SMS notification. Just double check that you've disabled the stock notification, that the box is completely unchecked.

Running 3D gallery alongside Sept 9 update

Just wanted to throw out there that I tried the approach of installing the 3D gallery APK alongside the Sept 9 update. I wanted to keep the 2D gallery <-> Camera interaction, but use the 3D gallery for the Picasa sync feature (really miss this). However, I found that the 2D gallery <-> Camera only worked until I used the 3D gallery. If I go into the 3D gallery, exit the app, enter Camera then the Camera app locks up and I need to do a battery pull to reboot. Camera works fine after the reboot until I go into the 3D gallery again.

OK...extreme noob question here...if Im coming over from Papa Smurfs Red Dawn can I just do a full wipe and flash latest version (six I believe) or do I need to flash previous ones first. Also any advantages/disadvantagesto blue or vanilla. One last thing...sorry...saw post on losing nandroid backups...can someone plz explain the process as I don't want to lose them. Thanks so much in advance. And thanks to all for your ROMs this is incredibly fun!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] absolutexk:
has anyone else been lucky to get Swype working on this?? its friggin amazing!!!

I took a leap of faith, and installed a swype zip file i had in the SD card, and to my delight it works great!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Ok several questions, here we go ...

Coming from Red Dawn, just do a full wipe (Data, Cache, SD Card) and you will be just fine. I must assume that you at have at least Amon RA 1.6.2 Recovery, if not then update it to that or 1.7.

Both Blue and Vanilla work extremely well, the only advantage that I can see is that the Vanilla (in my experience, I could be wrong) is easier to apply a different theme onto. I use the Blackmod theme on mine, and I had issues applying it to Extreme Blue, but was fine with Vanilla. Other than that, they are both equally solid roms.

I did not lose my nandroid backups, however if you flash Clockwordmod Recovery (the ROM manager that is included with this rom gives you the option to flash its own recovery, which gives you more options specific to this rom) then the backups that it makes is in a different location than the Nandroids with Amon RA. To people that don't notice this, they can try to restore a backup with their new recovery and not see their old nandroids and think that they're gone. But they aren't :).

One thing ... Papa Smurf is a Sense-based rom, and this is 100% AOSP. There are differences, so don't be surprised if you need to kind of relearn your way around a few things. But the rewards are great (AOSP is way faster and more stable, and this rom particularly is friggin sweet), so I hope you enjoy it. Good luck.

its going to be hard to make it drain all the way, since i use it to tether.net most days.... but thats another issue..

from 58% at 3:10 to 99% at 12:30, thats how long its taken to recharge while usb tethered, when i had had fresh 2.3.3 it would have been charged by about 6? or so under the same conditions.

Camera / Gallery Update (Picasa Sync??)

I made a few changes that may resolve this issue. I just need someone to test it. The changes are as follows:

Modified Gallery3D to remove the Camera button in the top right corner. This should avoid lockups due to issues with Camera/Gallery3D interaction. I also changed the color of the icon and put a "3D" label on it.

Modified the 2D Gallery to have a new action to be called from Camera. This avoids the issue of the conflict of both apps supporting the action "android.intent.action.VIEW".

Modified Camera to call the new action in the 2D Gallery app. This should eliminate Camera calling Gallery3D if both are installed.

I don't use Picasa, so I am not in a position to test the integration with the modified Gallery3D app. This is a normal flash that should delete the old apps and install the updates.

What this should provide is a system that has both the 2D Gallery app and the Gallery3D app; a Camera app that will call the 2D Gallery from the thumbnail (does not yet rotate by sensor, but you can rotate from the menu).

The attached "Camera_Gallery-update.zip" will try to delete the existing Camera, Gallery, and Gallery3D apps (along with some of the Blue/Vanilla names that were used before). If you have an issue, you may need to delete them manually.

If someone can test this (as well as Picasa integration), and let me know, it would be appreciated. I would like to get this integrated into the next build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Fird:
Also experiencing random reboots with the latest "Extremely Blue" versoin. Has happened mid-call sometimes, screen is off, bluetooth is in use, and nothing else is happening to the phone. It does it both on the charger and off the charger. Sometimes just reboots in my holster, again bluetooth attached. Also experiencing some random bluetooth drops in the middle of a call (Jawbone Prime if it matters), it drops, waits about 4 seconds and reconnects. I'm wondering if the instability is bluetooth related?
