Sigh, looks like the idiot who came up with Gallery3D didn't get fired. :rolleyes:

Get ready for more poorly-optimized, screen real estate-wasting, uncustomizable pieces of crap. Apparently some Google bigshot thinks users enjoy tackiness...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dietotherhythm:
hopefully this isnt the finished product. I used it for about an hour before switching back.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Kaanha:
I kind of figure others have figured this out already but in the video he showed the buttons next to the Artists Name, Song Title and Album Title on the Now Playing screen didn't work. After playing for a minute I figured out you have to long press on the button to make it work.

Just a single press won't work, just keep it held down and it'll open up the appropriate window. Not sure if it'll always be a long press to activate those buttons, but for at least this release that's how you do it.

Hope this gives a little insight to everyone!

So pretty sure this is not in any way google related.the branding and creative is no where near close. I have a feeling its a hack/phish program... anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] :
I sadly have to agree this new graphic based ram hog gallery 3d style implementation is terrible. It is ugly, needlessly cumbersome, slow, and not customizable. I remember the old picture gallery I could easily and quickly load photos now even on the fastest phones such as G2 and Nexus S I am stuck waiting for the pictures to load every time I scroll past. This is a completely unnecessary resource hog and stupid, all that needed to be done was an improvement on the 2D gallery with more features. Same with the music app, all that needed to be done was to implement the features in music mod that have already been done by the community, except do it officially in a more polished way.

I rarely ever say this because of my hatred of most apple products, but for ****s sake just copy the ipod for the music app. If there is one thing they do right its simple fluid GUI for music app etc. Or even better copy music mod that is already in cyanogen mod and available for download in market.

Sorry for the long nerdy rant but keep it simple and down right copying of the ipod with community lead improvements needs to be executed its annoying that android can't have a decent music app, and gallery app for that matter, by default.

Even the Chinese Miui modders created a better music app, even if it looks bloated and ugly it can't be that hard to do. Not to mention the many options on the market, which again just need to be optimized and streamlined.

Edit: and don't even get me started on lack of EQ settings :P

[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
There is a difference in the x10a Global Generic flashes being used on XDA. After updating to the newest x10i .24, I lost my favorite new feature of my 2.1 unbraned generic Brazil 1234-4836 x10a..**Voice Search system app by google** Voice Search is a must have, once I have used it. With Voice Search, instead of having a magnifying glass icon on my search bar on the home screen, I had a microphone. It also allowed voice search in other market apps like Yellow Pages. It searches your phone, apps, internet, etc, via voice rather than typing. It is surprisingly accurate.

After reflashing the new update .24 x10i a couple times with no success and searching the Market for the google voice search app, I realized that voice search is only available in Froyo 2.2 or in USA 2.1 factory software packages. I used the 2.1 Global Generic kits available here on xda, and flashed back to x10a. The Brazil 1234-4836 was not available, only 1234-4820. When I started up my phone the microphone icon was on the search bar for a couple seconds and then reverted back to the magnifying glass icon. I then realized that the Global package is global not USA, so I went looking for Brazil 1234-4836. I couldn't find the specific firmware. However, I did find out how to edit the default.prop and build.prop files with Root Explorer and change the brand from 1234-4820 to 1234-4836, and then use SEUS to repair the software from here...

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-828163.html

I followed the instructions on that link,edited the files, repaired with SEUS (it will say you have the latest software, but it will change it), started up my phone and Voice Search was back!!!! You will know it worked when the phone starts up, language will default to Portuguese(Brazil) rather than Espanol(Mexico) and it will say Proximo upper right corner.

So, there is a difference in the packages..If you speak English, this is a must have especially since there are no plans I have heard of to update 2.2. I don't know how well other languages are supported yet. Check google voice search on internet to find out more.
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
not quite sure which version do I have but trust me LAM has voice search and it came with predefined spanish (mexico)
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Not saying it isn't available elsewhere, just saying the firmware provided on xda is 1234-4820, which does not have voice search. Nor does the x10i new update.
[XPERIA X10 General] Vin87:
You can just download the voice search application from the Market, the problem with this is that the application isn't called voice search, the name depends on your language.. Go to 'my downloads' , search for Google Maps, then hit 'more application from this dev (or something similar)' and search for something like voice search, this will also give you the microphone on the 'search' widget and keyboard.
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
+1 from me
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
There is co-pilot which costs $5 US and one for UK and Europe. But they say 2.2, and only limited support for searching things like contacts. Voice Search does all and it is free, and plans for supporting more languages.

My point is still all generic global x10a kits are not the same. Unless SE gives us another upgrade to Froyo or Gingerbread, you won't have it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Vin87:
I understand that the roms are not the same. However the app you are referring to (text to speech, search in different places etc, microphone on the keyboard, microphone on the search widget, microphone everywhere where there is a search option) is just downloadable from the market. Atleast is was for me (i'm using global generic firmware), so you'll have it, even if SE doesn't give us another upgrade...
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Google Voice Search is NOT downloadable from the Market.

http://support.swiftkey.net/discussions/download-issue/632-google-voice-search-not-found-in-market

Try and download it from appbrain and it will tell you it is not available for your phone. It says it is for 2.2. I agree, you may still be able to download it, but Google Voice Search was not included on the Global x10a or x10i kits, because it is still only a USA or Froyo 2.2 app. Sure you all can find other ways to get the app or something similar, however you can do that with most any app and a few dollars. I prefer my OS to have all available options. That's why we are all on the edge of our seats for every update..

If you are an AT&T customer, like myself, and you came here for the 2.1 update because our lousy carrier wouldn't give it to us, then the 1234-4836 kit is the most similar to what we would have gotten. As a matter of fact with the 1234-4836 kit (build date Oct 23, 2010), there is an blank AT&T widget on the home screen, that is not present on the Generic Global flash offered here. I am sure when the 0.24 update is available for x10a 1234-4836 there will still be voice search. For the recent update for X10i it still is not an option.

The point of this thread still remains that there are differences in updates. Voice search is an upgrade in technology, which I am happy to have standard in my handpiece and thought others would enjoy. This is for the other AT&T-xda-unbranded 2.1 X10A users who were wondering which Generic is the best for their region, and maybe xda-developers would like to use the ROM with the most options.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
I tried this on the Br/GEL firmware and it doesn't show the Google Voice Search only Google Voice for making/getting phone calls. 23 apps listed.
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
I flashed global generic a while ago. that had voice search. i got the newest update and i can see it has is available in market aswell
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
It is not available on my Market for 2.1, but it is available on AppBrain for 2.2 Froyo/USA only. I tried to download it, and when I click on "Market" link it says "Not available or could not be found."
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Attached is the VoiceSearch_2.1.apk. I am running X10a_1234-4820. Now you can use it on whatever firmware you want. Enjoy! ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
The easy solution... Where were you when I needed this 4 days ago, Batman? Next time I'll flash the bat signal. :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Sorry. I was in the Bat Cave and did not see the signal! Should have posted it earlier you are right. My apologies :o
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I did numerous times in the x10i 0.24 update thread when I lost it after the flash. Nobody responded so I took matters into my own hands. The bright side is I learned a lot. A couple more stripes on my noob jacket.
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Well, now you can help others! :)
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:

[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
Hey, agaentJBM,

If you do the service menu (H,B,B,H,B,H,H,B) and go to the software menu,

what are the SI codes presented?

I updated the prop et al, files with the new number since I don't feel like installing Voice again, but I never updated via SEUS.

So when I go to the service menu I see:

Phone software: 1227-4612

File System: 1226-2253

S1Boot: 1225-9698

ETS: 1234-4836 (What I chg'd)

Customization: 1239-1165

I'm curious if the 4 other SI numbers are different and if that would mean that SE could change SEUS to use a different number or combination of numbers to prevent updates.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I think you should be changing the customization version. Here's what I have....

Phone software 1227-4612

File system W-O-R-L-D 1-2-5-6_2.0.A..0.504

SI Boot 1226-2253 R8A013

ETS. 1225-9698_11

Customisation. 1234-4836 R6B

Not sure why SE would want to prevent updates? You seem to know more than me.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Since SE just released a statement saying no froyo or Gingerbread, and a new update for X10a that most likely will not be rootable, I hope Z will consider using this 1234-4836, rather than 1234-4820.
[XPERIA X10 General] 3000psi:
Hello, I installed the apk provided here and now have the microphone in the google search widget and browser url/search text box. However I do not have a microphone in the keyboard (default or android).

Is there something else I need to do to get the mic in the keyboard?

I have an x10a (from AT&T) flashed with the 2.0.A.0.504 rom

I also tried the VoiceSearch.apk that chris_knows posted here:

other thread

that one installed but does not work at all.

Thanks in advance.

SS
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
It has to be a keyboard that supports the microphone function such as Swiftkey. I also have the voice apk, and my 'Android' keyboard doesn't have a mic but my Swiftkey ones does (it would even if I didn't have the apk but it supports the voice function.)

However, IMHO, it's redundant since the Google Widget has the microphone icon next to the search button anyway. If you're doesn't then long press it to the garbage can and reinstall the widget on the screen.
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Get the Vlingo keyboard.
[XPERIA X10 General] 3000psi:
Thanks guys for the replies. I kinda figured I would have to add another keyboard. I have been trying out the HTC_IME mod and liking it so far (and it has the mic of course).

I use the keyboard mic for composing emails - works well for me.

SS
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Edit, nevermind. Delete.
[XPERIA X10 General] 1Learning:
I see what agentJBM is talking about. I recently installed the x10a Global Generic 2.1 update 1 (I assume the Mexcio one and not the Brazilian one) from branded 1.6 and now the search bar doesn't have the mic anymore. Nor can I see it in the Android Market (I did the search as suggested b/c I was curious) and it does not come up. I haven't installed batman_112's apk yet since I've been playing around with the OS, getting familiar with it.

But here is the interesting thing that made me wonder if they just disabled it and wonder what is going on? When the phone boots up, if you have the google search widget enabled, before everything finalizes, the Google Search Bar will have the mic next to it before there is an overlay so that it just becomes the magnifying glass, i.e. it's like someone put another search bar on top of that one and made the mic disappear. Any ideas on why that would be? I have removed the widget then put it back on and it's the same result.

--

Btw, where were you able to get the google voice search.apk for 2.1 file from if it is supposed to be for 2.2 and up (X10 was special for getting it "early?")? Was it from another phone, ROM, etc.? Reading through the forums, it seems like there are some that don't have them and some that do?
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I'm not 100% what it does, but there is another system app that is missing, and I think it may be what allows voice search and who knows what else. It is called CELL INFORMATION App com.sonyericsson.cellbroadcast.widget.apk. I installed global generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 update the other day, and Voice Search, Okrut, and Cell Information were missing after I restored Titanium Backup. I had them saved on my pc, and installed Voice search 2.1 and Cell Information. Cell Information is a system app that opens by adding a widget to the home screen, and it determined who my service provider was and put their logo on my home screen, AT&T. It comes already running on generic Brazil, so I'm thinking it is what telling my phone which apps to run. It is a running service, but I can't figure out what it really is. It definitely uses your signal. Voice Search 2.1, batmans version is newer than the system app that comes with X10a 2.1 update. When I added Cell Information to global generic, it also showed that the missing system app Voice Search 1.6.4 was restored in Titanium Backup.
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Yes, from another ROM. It works perfectly fine though on our X10's :)
[XPERIA X10 General] 1Learning:
Cool.

@agentJBM: You think you'll be able to upload the com.sonyericsson.cellbroadcast.widget.apk? Since I didn't use Titanium, etc. it would be cool to play around with it to see if that is what makes the difference, i.e. maybe that is what pulls info from our providers automatically (like the APN? though if you have that Sony Ericsson option in the settings, it'll do that automatically too). I just figured I can always reflash back to 1.6 if necessary...

@batman_112: Thanks. That's really cool. :p It's one of those things, once you get used to it, it's pretty cool. Same thing with Voice Dialer, etc.

--

Btw, maybe a good way to test your theory regarding the com.sonyericsson.cellbroadcast.widget.apk is that if someone has an unlocked phone, to put in another SIM card and see what logo pops up - if any. Right now, I agree, there is no logo that pops up when I load up, it's the SE logo only and no carrier logo. Maybe your theory is right and that apk is what makes the phone "register" as to what services are provided by your provider?
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I was thinking something similar. I tried to open a second widget and instead of AT&T it said "no cell information". It definitely uses your signal to determine what network you're on, which is what the X10a is designed for... the different frequency used for 3G and H used by ATT than internationally and T-Mobile X10i.

It does also help with APN. I put my settings in like before, but it still wouldn't connect to the network. When I added Cell Information it connected.

I'm out of town for weekend, but I will upload when I get back Monday night.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
The widget from Cell Information. Btw, says it's permissions are 1) sms receiving 2) location (coarse network). The edit build.prop for regional procedure is in my original post for this thread. Brazil offers US variant of voice search and someone from Mexico verified as well.
[XPERIA X10 General] akila87:
Cell Broadcast messaging has a number of features that make it particularly appropriate for emergency purposes:

It is not as affected by traffic load; therefore, it may be usable during a disaster when load spikes tend to crash networks, as the 7 July 2005 London bombings showed. Another example was during the Tsunami catastrophe in Asia. Dialog GSM, an operator in Sri Lanka was able to provide ongoing emergency information to its subscribers, to warn of incoming waves, to give news updates, to direct people to supply and distribution centres, and even to arrange donation collections using Celltick's Cell Broadcast Center, based on Cell Broadcast Technology.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] sniffle:
What a crazy 3 months it has been, with life in general getting in the way of development, but it's over and here is a release for everyone!

For the full list of changes please see the changelog at http://bit.ly/aH0ioL.

*Please note*

All Google apps that are available for download from the market will no longer be included in the CCRoms Google apps package, to facilitate updating the apps the way Google intends.

Also this release is FROYO, Gingerbread will most likely be our next release with this gem version's features ported to AOSP Gingerbread.

The Main Highlights:

Obsidian for the Droid X is now a fully stable build, some minor bugs might still exist, but otherwise it is rock solid.

Tanzanite for the Droid 2 is also stable build, since it is so close to the Droid X.

Emerald for the HTC Evo is also stable for all pre-2.10 and 2.02 hboot updates.

Sapphire is just as stable as ever.

Ruby has been updated to the Miui ril for better connectivity and is more stable than ever.

That's right we are now on 5 phones, Thanks for all of your support everyone!

Now for the important part, Obsidian 2.0, Ruby 2.0, Sapphire 2.0, Tanzanite 2.0 are released!

All Downloads are available under the downloads section on our wiki: http://wiki.ccroms.net

Be sure to read the wiki pages fully for known issues and install instructions for certain roms.

NOTE: Emerald has been having some kernel issues and 2.0 will be delayed slightly.

And the auto brightness still doesn't work right.

The addition of the Wii controller is the ****!

Not sure if this is going to make me leave CM 6.1 now. I ran Ruby 1.1.1 and 1.1.4 for a long time. I never ran CM because it had so many issues, but with CM 6.1 they have really made it shine. I don't feel it's as polished as the Gem ROMs but I think I was just hoping for more with the 2.0 release.

I'll definitely update my GF's Ruby 1.1.1 to this.

Be sure if you have any bugs to report to put them into our bug tracker (bugs.ccroms.net). [be sure to check if the bug exists already!]

try to include any information you can about it, including a logcat if possible. the easier it is for us to reproduce the problem, the easier it is for us to fix it. :D

glad people are liking the release and i hope to keep them coming at a greater pace now! ^o^
