[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambing08:
I'm new to this. Just going to flat out say it.

I was wondering if there was a faster/better kernel for the AOSP 1.1 android 2.2 rom. I'm running the kernel that came with the rom and it's slightly slower than expected. any help would be greatly appreciated
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbm21:
If you head over to eugenes thread on his froyo on on the second post he has kernels I'm using the one that ends in 02 its fast and pretty stable. However if you have random freezes go to 00 or one without an overclocking kernal
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MERKJONES:
Hi - my issue is this: if I go to share a website or something via Facebook it'll always bring up the website for it. Twitter will do the same thing. I've already wiped and reloaded since I got the phone; issue still remains.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Vibrant General] smitty1:
Well, I had completely screwed up my phone after flashing some roms.

For the life of me I couldn't get it into recovery or download mode. My phone was hardware locked. But I never bothered to add the hardware fix to the phone because adb worked just fine and I didn't think it was going to be a problem. Yeah, big mistake I know and if all you want to say is "I told you so" you can screw off.

Anyway, was completely stuck. I bought the phone out right on ebay, I am running it on att so there was no where really to turn but sammy to get the phone fixed. I called them up told them about some of the problems I was having and eventually got them to take the phone in for repair. It took about a week total but I got my phone fixed and I am now up and running foryo but this time I added the hardware unlock first thing out of the gate.
[Vibrant General] Shack544:
Hmmm, I say good on ya for resolving the prob w/o trying for a replacement phone. Just a guess, but it prolly takes Sam 15 mins to zero out your vibe and place it back on the shipping cart?

Thumbs up to Samsung a well. Free support for an ebay purchase is cool to begin with..
[Vibrant General] smitty1:
Yeah, that is what I thought too.

And I agree about the turn around. The day they got it from UPS they fixed it and sent it back out to me the same day.

I am very happy with the results, and the new froyo rom from 11\7\10 is really nice the phone really runs smooth.

[HD7 General] ariel123:
How do you know when an app is completely closed since there's no task manager. Cause I've noticed that even if you hit the home key if you hit the back key afterwards it will still go to your open apps. Is there a key you can hold that will close down all applications.
[HD7 General] poopilot:
WP7 doesn't multitask, so you will only have one app running at a time -- except, perhaps, if you're playing music via Zune.

When you hit back, what you're seeing is a recovery from something MS call 'tombstoning', which is saving the state of an app before shutting it down, and restoring the app back to where it was once you restart it.

If you run a game, you'll probably notice a delay after you hit 'back', while it reloads.
[HD7 General] LuRock:
thanks for the info. I see what you mean. :)
[HD7 General] Jeimygirl:
How are you multitaskign Zune? If I leave zune in any way whetehr back, home or clickign on a text it shuts it down
[HD7 General] ariel123:
Well atleast we don't have to worry about apps draining battery in the back ground.... Just trying to look at the bright side
[HD7 General] ariel123:
So far the only things I'm disappointed is by the bad quality videos on YouTube, no multitask, and I can't use a regular mp3 song as a ringtone
[HD7 General] ckacey:
If you also wanted to clear the tombstoning info, just press back until the app goes away.
[HD7 General] ariel123:
what happens if I dont will it drain battery in the background
[HD7 General] poopilot:
Music should continue to play no matter how you quit Zune, even if you put the phone in standby. Then you can access the music via the toast window that appears when you hit vol-up/vol-down.
[HD7 General] ckacey:
only if its an app that you've told it can run under the lockscreen, if it will impact the battery much it's supposed to ask, or be unable to run under the lockscreen
[HD7 General] ariel123:
do you know if you can use an mp3 as a ringtone?
[HD7 General] poopilot:
You can't, no. There was talk about being able to buy ringtones from the marketplace, but I don't think the users would accept that. I'd probably expect it to come with the update in January.
[HD7 General] ariel123:
hopefully in january we will get most of the missing features we want
[HD7 General] Kiwi_Dave:
NOt sure that this will come in Jan. I think it's a legal thing to do with the way Zune Pass is licensed (which is only to play music - not use it as a ringtone)...

this is just from word of mouth - but seems to make sense....
[HD7 General] ckacey:
I don't mind if it won't let me use Pass music as a ringtone, I'd like to put my own custom sound in there, so WP7 doesn't end up like iPhone where almost everyone has the same ringer, and when a phone goes off everyone reaches for their phone.
[HD7 General] ashykat:
Even the iPhone allows for custom ringtones, you just have to load them through iTunes. I really hope Microsoft implements custom ringtones soon. I also hope that they, unlike the iPhone, allow for custom notification tones as well. On the iPhone you have to SSH in and replace the files manually.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
So this started in the Cognition thread, but I figure it probably is useful for other ROMs and people.

So are you like me? You've hooked up your bluetooth mic, and pressed the voice action button and your phone looks at you stupidly? Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way you could start Google Voice Actions or possibly Vlingo's Recognize and Execute?

Here's the thing, currently Google Voice Actions and Vlingo can't hear over the bluetooth mic. Still, this will launch the voice app, and allow you to speak through your phone's mic.

I've considered creating a version where you can select any app; however, unless there's some demand for a feature like that I don't want to go through that kind of pain and suffering.

Feedback is appreciated.

Oh and finally, this is a very early version, so you won't find it on the app market or such. If I have time, I'll polish it up, but for now, this is good enough to fix the issue for most people.

If you find this useful, please let me know. There's no reason to polish something no one needs/uses.

1.5 Beta

So this is a little rough around the edges but it is functional. The first load will be slow, but application names are cached after that load. Still need to indicate what the user has selected in the past as well as sort the list.

View attachment 443261

2.0 Beta

Fixed the rough edges, nice radio buttons in the list. Sorted alphabetically. Oh and TheYar suggested waking up the phone to run the action. Not only is it doing that, but it'll bypass the screen lock.

Now some are saying, but wait isn't that a bad thing? Well yes and no. First the screen lock comes back when the action is complete, or bluetooth launch closes. Second, bluetooth headsets must be paired first to get access, so a thief would have to know to grab your headset and phone to get into your phone. The risk is low but not 0, so in the next version, you'll have a way to turn that feature on or off.

View attachment 444335

2.0.1 Beta

As TheYar pointed out, there's a bug where you may have to hit the bluetooth button twice. This is a bug in the underlying framework and there's nothing my app can do about that. That said, I added a vibrate on launch feature to this new version. No other changes were made.

Change Log:

11/19/10: 2.0.1 Beta Vibrate on launch

11/18/10: 2.0 Beta Choices shown, remembered in the list, sorted alphabetically (so learn your ABC's) and phone wake, lock screen disable.

11/17/10: 1.5 Beta Select any activity, better icon

11/12/10: 1.1.1 Updated some text, added icon

11/11/10: 1.1 Added Settings and Vlingo

11/10/10: 1.0 Initial Revision

[Captivate Themes and Apps] pkley:
Sweet!

Unfortunately it doesn't do anything for me, running Cog 2.3.3. I've turned my headset on/off, BT on/off, no response to button.

Pressing "Confirm Selection" doesn't do anything either, should it?

Update - Rebooting makes it work, stupid me...THANKS!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
Confirm selection saves the settings. I should change the name, thanks.

It shouldn't require a reboot, but there may have been something subtle going on that a reboot fixed.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
Updated!

Added some polish. Launcher icon + text changes to make things more clear.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ggonzalez7777:
I think it would be handy if there was some text to confirm that the settings were set.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
If I understand what you're asking for, I think the text at the bottom is just that. I'll see if I can re-word it to be more clear.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
Coming Soon

So I had some time to play with things over the weekend, I'll be releasing a new versions soon.

Features will include:

Selecting the activity you want to launch

Better icon (not washed out)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] majinzen:
This app works very well. You did a great job man.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
Teaser

Got this working today, takes way too long to load right now, and only shows the names right now.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kimocal:
Hooray. I am happy to report that I can now use my BlueAnt T1 to control the Google Voice Commands. Awesome! Even though it passes the audio to the phone my headset still thinks my phone does not support it. But it works well enough for now till I can get an updated firware on my T1 headset.

I'm using Cognition.v2.2.Beta7.UCJI6 at the moment.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
Beta Version Up

New version up, calling it beta because of the rough edges.

Enjoy!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kimocal:
Updated to the new 1.5 BETA. I switched back to my Plantronics Voyager 855 until I can update the firmware on my T1. The beta works. Thanks again for releasing this.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheYar:
Wow this is great. I've been wanting to voice dial on my Captivate ever since I got it and this is the first time I've been able to do it.

I've noticed that often it doesn't respond until the second time I try to activate it. Maybe this is just a delay, not sure.

Any thoughts on how this could function when the screen is locked? Google voice actions are pretty powerful, so I doubt that full voice action functionality would be possible from a locked device. But maybe someone has some 2.2 source from another platform that includes how a call might be initiated over BT even when the screen is locked?

Thanks for this app. Loving it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
It appears to be a bug in the handling of bluetooth with the system, I can reproduce it without my app. Basically it appears that the system isn't releasing the bluetooth handle in a reasonable way, as my headphones that do bluetooth to both an iPod and a phone at the same time won't start playing again. I wish I could fix this.

This is a good idea. Look for it in a few minutes.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheYar:
I just got done adding 1.5 to another DG ROM zip and decided to check here before flashing it. I'm am so psyched!!

Since you seem to be greased lightning on feedback and improvements, I'll throw another one out there - voice feedback into the headset speaker to let you know it is ready. I know that this functionality might better sit with the launched app (and sometimes does), but perhaps a configurable option to detect when the launched app has launched at least, and then react by saying "ready" or such in my ear. Then I'd care even less than I already do about the handle release problem with the bluetooth stack.

As for the lock screen bypass... yeah. I'm a security pro myself, but I agree that the risk there is low and acceptable, compared to the risk I face trying to security-unlock my screen while driving. Watch out though, people tend to freak out on this issue. The press went wild when the Droid opted for default Voice Action access through the lock screen, referring to it as a major security bug and design flaw. Of course, in that case it was accessible even without a headset, just a long-press of the search.

Let me know when this hits market and charge money for it, or at least offer a donation. Gladly pay. Considering this is the first time I've been able to accurately bluetooth dial since 6 years and three phones ago, you are officially a genius.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
Your previous comment came in at just the right time to add an extra piece to the development cycle. The feature was easy, so I got it in. That said, playing through the bluetooth device appears to be a hard thing, I'll see what I can do about this. The easier thing to do, which I'm going to put in place soon, is to simply vibrate the phone, so that'll be the first step.

This is why I want the user to explicitly configure if they want this behavior. I'll look at adding a menu with settings. I want to get that done before I add in playing though the headset.

Actually, this is my first app, so I haven't paid the fee for developers to the app store. This is relatively simple, but I may put in a paypal link for development supplies. You know the standard: sex, drugs (beer), rock and roll.

I don't want to tip my hand for the other ideas I'm going to work on, but once this is mostly complete, I'm going to start on my next couple of apps, which I'm affectionately calling "Ring Rules" and "When I Get Home" right now. Those will likely have free and paid versions in the app store. (Assuming I get enough time to write them.)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheYar:
Word, vibrate on launch. Dug. My handset is usually in a cradle or empty seat or sliding around the floorboard somewhere, so I might not get to use it much. But definitely a worthy X.X.1 enhancement. Looking forward to the other two apps you tease there; if my guesses are correct then they would both be of value to me.

On the lock-screen bypass: definitely, making it configurable would be preferable and snazzy. But on the old Windows Mobile Voice Command, this was configurable and disabled by default and it still got a good bit of bad feedback as a security bug. My 2 cents would be to make the setting work like the USB debugging setting in a stock ROM. Enabling it requires you to acknowledge a pop-up that warns and explains the risk. This might limit the number of armchair professional comments you get in the Market that are all caps and scream about how your app has security bugs and allows people to hack androids and steal all the datums and megahurtz off of them.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tazman171:
Hey thanks for this app, used voice dialing and commands all of the time on my Tilt with WinMo 6.0, only real downside of Android is not implementing this feature in an easy to use format IMO. I'm still figuring out vlingo but I can finally use my BlueAnt ST3 the way I used to, or almost anyway. Thanks again. :cool:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ewingr:
I started with yur earlier version that did Google Voice only, then the one that you could choose between GV and Vlingo.

Just installed latest version, and getting FCs.

I don't know if it is because I am selecting wrong COM item under (I've tried several under Vlingo, and get double vibrate, then FC each time) the app, or this application itself. But bringing up a long list of all the different components of various programs makes it immensely more difficult to get an operational program.

Going back to earlier version for now.

[EDIT]

I was able to get it to work with Google Voice, but never did with Vlingo.

I now realize that 3 vibes is normal. I'd prefer an option to turn that off.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
You want the recognize and execute activity for Vlingo.

Yes, I'll be making the vibration an option, and while the long list isn't ideal, but it gives you much more control, and makes this work with new versions automatically as well as other applications.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ewingr:
Thanks Guardian Bob

Now, if I can just get Google voice to actually work on the COG ROM I am on now.

:p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dr. Bogger:
lol, I second on the 3 Vibrates... It makes me think something FC'ed on me... cuz i get that 3 vibes on a Force Close...

I would like a way to change this... either choose between 3 vibes, a single vibe, or no vibes...

This would make this app A+++ for me!!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] coyon:
I've been looking for a program like this for EVER!

this is the best app EVER!

i hope you continue to update this forEVER!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
Thanks for all the feedback, I haven't forgotten about this app, I've been sharpening my android skills so I can finish this up and have it look good.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dr. Bogger:
Yay!

Just please do me a favor, and don't ever remove the un-lock & screen on feature... Cuz thats the most important feature i need... cuz if my phone does not auto un-lock & turn the screen on when i press the button, then Vlingo InCar doesn't work right...

I know there was debate earlier on the security of this, but this is a MUST HAVE for me, so please do not remove it... at minimum, make it an option or something...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
No worries, that feature won't go away, but it may become an option that defaults to off the first time.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
Voice Search was updated today, and works with contacts again.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dungeon47:
This might be a little off the path, but does this bychance make Wii remotes work? *ducks to avoid stuff being thrown in outrage*
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dr. Bogger:
I wouldn't think so... cuz all this application does it work with the push button on bluetooth headsets...

So no, i don't think its what your looking for.

no luck with epic + froyo

This is super exciting. I just tried it on my Samsung Epic running the "leaked" DK28 froyo from sprint, and unfortunately it seems to not work. I have a few different bluetooth headsets, and the result is always that one of the buttons has no effect and the other makes the phone redial the last phone number dialed. Any ideas if this phone is just different in some weird way? I'd be happy to help debug in whatever way I can.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
The OS may be catching the buttons and thus my app never gets a chance.

What you could do, is capture a logcat session while trying the buttons and pass that along to me in a PM or e-mail. I can look at the very least.

Which Google Voice activity is it?

Trying to get this to work on Cog 3.3 and having no luck. I tried selecting the voice dialer that came with the ROM and no joy. I went ahead and installed and set up google voice as well but am a little confused as to which activity to link the app to as there about 20 under google voice.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] epv:
here's what logcat shows. looks like something notices a button press via the raw AT string from the headset, and then the dial activity starts right up. I'm not sure what is different on a phone where it works, though.

Button "1" has no effect at all - nothing in logcat, no result.

Button "2" starts redialing the last number immediately, logging this:

I/BLZ_WRAPPER( 2535): btl_if_poll: transp poll : (fd 79) returned r_ev 1 D/HeadsetBase.cpp( 2535): HF> AT+BLDN

The volume buttons log stuff like this:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] :
Just found this thread...even tho its old. I run Phoenix unleashed 8.0 on a captivate....and voice dialing/commands wearn't working...not on official froyo either. This program fixed it!!! Good job...and thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] :
Is there any alternative for this app?

Coz I would like to launch any activity without bluetooth launch black background, some overlay to be possible.

I think there should be someone working on it if the logic is known :)

Remain hopeful.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
Actually that's done for a couple of good reasons. The first is device support. This app works on Froyo and beyond. I don't know that I can use an overlay and support older devices.

Second is battery/performance. This app doesn't register as a service. It uses 0 CPU when it is not active, unlike most apps. The trade off is a slightly slower start and a black screen. A good compromise given the alternative.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] :
Wow, good to see you're still here for us! I like this app very much! Hope to see some good improvement soon! :):):)

Btw it works even on my latest Note 2 :good:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] mr.right77:
Hi, I'm using the app on Nexus 4 with a Plantronics headset.

The app itself it's perfect and works as expected, but after using the app (long press activates google voice search) the display doesn't turn off ( even during a call started with google voice commands the display is always on and stays on after the call ends).

I figured out that I have to long press again the bluetooth headset button to turn the screen off.

it's an issue or it's the normal behavior?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kursed:
I've tried everything that I possibly can, in order to implement ChainFire's kernel via Odin to root my Samsung Galaxy S, but it doesn't matter what I do - Odin gets stuck at Setup Connection for me. (both on Windows 7 [32 bit] and Windows XP)

I've tried asking this question several times in relevant threads, and so far have not received any replies. Hence, I'm forced to make this thread.

I just want to know if there exists an alternate method to root my phone AND replace stock 3e recovery with 2e recovery? While I can root my phone using the SuperOneClick method, I can't seem to install 2e recovery on my phone and therefore no ClockWorkRecovery Mod for me either.

Can anyone in here, please help me with this ordeal?
