[Solved] Keyboard Help for Gingersense Rom - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running a Gingersense Remix rom. My problem is text to speech doesn't work when using mms or internet. I know about long pressing the mic.The problem is that it just sits there and doesn't recognise my voice.
I can use voice recorder and that works fine. I have downloaded Google Voice but that didn't help the keyboard interface recognise voice commands.
Thanks for any help

Still trying to track down the problem....Does anyone know which lib files control the keyboard. I am running a HTC Desire HD port
libjni_latinime is the only one I can find. I have swapped it out with ones fron different roms but it hasn't made any difference

Ok...My original problem was that the microphone on my Dinc would not record any sound. I tried difererent .apk's to no avail, added system drivers and every other suggestion I thought would work. What threw me off was Google Voice. I thought by adding it in it would solve my problem. Not exactly sure why it didn't work maybe something to do with HTC Sense. Text to speech worked fine but getting speech to text working required VoiceSearch apk.

Just put this on your drive and click on it with the file explorer. When it asks for voicemail setup hit the skip button. You have a google voice number right?
gAppsInstaller_v4 works for me too, I wasn't able to make it get past the voicemail configuration before I Tried v4 a few days ago.

I dont have a skip button what am I missing?
google voice hanging on voicemail setup
I had the same issue with it being stuck on the voicemail setup and never offering a skip option. I used a the 0.4.2.13 version I found on this site and it worked. After getting past that problem now I can't figure out why I can't make calls from the google voice app. Does the dialer try to use a real phone dialer to make calls or why does it start to dial and then disappear? Anyone got a good solution for making calls from your archos using google voice? Sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread. Why does the Voice app not appear in the market either?? Can't even use the QR Code or the link from google.com/voice to install it. Have to find apk and side load. Would be nice to see this app show up in market with the most up to date version from google
I don't think you can use Google voice over work but texting works fine. You could use sipdroid and GV to make calls.
I installed Google Voice from the above apk. After much trial and error, I have texting working perfectly except for one thing. When somebody sends a text to my Google Voice number, the text goes to my cell phone and notifies me by a ringtone. The message also goes to the Google Voice Inbox on my Archos 101 but there is no kind of notification. Is there someway I can get a ringtone notification on my Archos for an incoming text message?
I installed the silence widgets from my phone and noticed the archos boots often with some functions silenced.i get a notification when i get text on. Archos

Try checking settings. There probably is an option to choose your Notification ringtone.
Ok guys - I know that this works on my Evo, and I will install it on my 101 when it gets here. But I wanted to put this down to see how it works for you.
This is taken from:
VOIP for Android devices
1. If not already done, install Google Voice on your device using the link already on this thread above.
2. Install Sipdroid from the Market on your device. Alternatively here is a link to it - Sipdroid
3. When you run the Sipdroid app for the first time, you’ll see a touch button at the bottom of the screen. This will setup Sipdroid, a background service at a site pbxes.org (a free virtual PBX site), and activate the VOIP service. You be prompted to enter your Google Account User ID and Password. This info is used to create an account at pbxes.org. This service does background/transparent call management.
4. Sipdroid will auto activate when you turn on wifi and stays active until you disconnect from wifi. There will be a new icon (Round icon which should be green when connected) in the notification area of your device showing if you are connected to the VOIP service. Close out of Sipdroid - I haven't used it again after successfully signing in.
5. Install fring from the Market. You'll use this to initiate GV/SIP calls over wifi.
6. Setup your SIP account on fring - make sure your entire pbxes.org address is used as the login.
7. Make sure that it successfully logs in, and then press menu and open the dialer. Enter in a phone number to dial, and choose "SIP call". I entered in the phone number with area code but no "+1" or "1" in front.
That should be all you have to do. Let me know if it doesn't work and we can troubleshoot. I will be getting my 101 soon and then I will be able to test this.
The method above worked great but when calling its muting the speaker on my 101. Any suggestions?
no issues here, i text with it all the time, now if i could only make phone calls, for the ringtone you need to open settings in google voice, enter the app and hit the menu button and go to settings, make sure notifications are turned on.

I haven't tried the texting but I was able to make calls last night using the posted method. Once I dial I hear the ringing on the 101 speaker but the instant I pick up the line I am calling the Archos volume icon on the top right shows with the X (muted). This happens automatically. When I try to do volume control the volume description says "in-call volume" and is at the first level but I can't raise or lower it. As soon as I end the call the volume icon goes back to normal. If we can resolve this we can make calls over wifi using the method posted by jerdog.

It has got to have something to do with not having the Phone.apk or TelephonyProvider.apk. It seems that it doesn't know how to route audio input.... It works on my HTC Evo phone....
Does Archos have a tablet that has a cell radio in it that we could extract those apk's and try adding them in even though we know it wouldn't work as a phone?
And has anyone tried using a Bluetooth or a wired headset to see if audio works in that?

I tried the wired headset but no luck, the system turns the sound off. Not sure if there is a cell radio in the Archos. I will try to play around some more today but I am still learning about Android.
I will also give a bluetooth headset a shot
Yeah That happens .... the only way now to solve the Speaker problem is by pressing the power Button and then choose Silent Mode and it will activate it

There isn't a radio in the Gen8 as far as I can tell - but I am wondering if any of their other models have one?
It's most likely an instance where we'll have to hack the kernel to include audio input - if the hardware is even capable of it. Or to allow BT audio in

[Q] no getting text messages and asking for permision before answering phone calls

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.instal new update 1.2t with new apps
2.set up gogle voice for voice mail
I update and flashed decks 1.2t i updated my ratios to the latest started using goggle voice as a voice mail default sign out google voice and then i start having issues not getting text messages and i am able to send them but i cant receive them also noticed an annoying call setting when recieving calls it asks to press 1 to recieve call or 2 to voicemail i tried wiping everything several times and reflashing already 5 times even went back to 1.0 i even try used vr superwipe and try other roms still issue idk what can i do i would highly appreciate your input
Which phone and version are you using?
htc evo 0003
1.2t
latest ratios
I noticed that i could log into goggle voice and get my text messages but i would rather not used it anymore and i cant figure out that answering system thanks guys i would highly apreciate your help
I had the same issue. Went you integrate Google Voice it will automatically intercept your sms, along with calls. If you use a computer and go to Google and sign into Voice you will be able to modify your settings there. That or download the Google Voice app, sign in and sign out. That allowed me to use the native sms app
I tried signing in and out of the app but still doesn't do it anytime someone calls me I slide screen to answer then voice setting ask to press the #1key to answer or#2 to voicemailthis setting is really annoying I can't get rid of it

[Q] Skype as default dialer

Hi,
I have an evo with DeckRom on it (gingerbread). I'm trying to get skype to be my default dialer, or even better to have it prompt me for what I'd like to use as a dialer (phone or skype).
I can't for the life of me figure this out. Phone doesn't show up under settings-applications-manage-all. I've cleared defaults from gocontacts.
I've tried uninstalling skype, then rebooting the phone and redownloading the app.
Still nothing.
Other thing I might like is the ability to choose google voice to make outgoing calls if that is available.
Thanks in advance.
Bump for this. I'm having the exact same issue on my thunderbolt running stock/rooted debloat. Any help would be great as I'm retiring the thunderbolt and basically turning it intoca glorified pda/voip phone.
Google voice can be set as a default dialer/SMS/voicemail app but Skype I don't believe will set as a default however on decks gb rom in settings under calls you can set up a SIP account for voip calling with no added apps it will use the default dialer to call over ip
When I first installed skype, android gave me the option to choose how to complete the call. I no longer receive that option.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
My goal is to either:
1. have the option of using skype, google voice or T mobile when initiating a call from my contacts list
or
2. be able to access and successfully choose a contact from my list when I'm on skype
At some point (I don't know why) my phone stopped giving the choice of using Skype, google voice or TMobile for an outgoing call. I would love to get that back since Skype doesn't allow me to use my phone contact list to make calls. Any ideas on how to achieve my goal?
Please tell me how to have a notification on my email when someone responds to my question.
Thanks

You're in the evo4g forum no one here has tmo as the evo is a cdma phone not gsm
Same problem here since upgrading to latest Android. Did you find a solution yet?
bzzz
Did you manage to find the solution to this?

[SOLVED] enabling calling / dialer on A100

I can use my A100 perfectly fine with Sipdroid and my google voice account, however the problem is more or less a convenience issue. Sipdroid doesn't have a good way to view your contacts like in an address book, and it also doesn't dial from the "People" app when you try to place a call using sipdroid. I have had other android devices that the contacts(now People) will allow you to call a person from the internal dialer or a 3rd party one and it automatically forwards the call to sipdroid accordingly. I installed the Dialer One app hoping that it would solve the issue on my A100, and that is when I found out that it didn't work at all with it. I get a message saying "Telephony feature is unavailable on this device" I have had other tablets without telephony capabilities that this app has worked with. I am wondering if there is a simple mod I can do to trick the app into thinking it does have telephony capabilities, or if there is some way I could recompile cm9 to include any missing libraries, system files, apks, etc.. such as the internal dialer. If anyone has got Dialer One to work for them with SipDroid +GV or if you know of an app that works like the default dialer app (that we don't have) then please let me know. I appreciate the help. If I can get this figured out I'll make an attempt at providing a custom ROM with the dialer and telephony features enabled just for people who wish to use Google Voice calling with their tablet. If it is as simple as a build.prop edit then I will add that to my custom build.prop in my thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1799148
**Edit: I think I found a solution to get SipDroid to place calls when calling from "People(contacts)" I was looking into the process that takes place when a call is initiated and I seen that we have a Phone.apk in our a100 roms, but the process is nullified so nothing ever takes place when something triggers it.
I had the idea, well what devices that are tegra2 based have ICS and allow phone/voice calling? Motorola Atrix 4g does.. So let me find the Motorola Atrix 4G Phone.apk and replace the one I have in /system/app/ with it. Lo and Behold I can now make calls directly from my contacts!! This fixed it, partially.. What still doesn't work? Dialer One still gives the same error - "Telephony feature is unavailable on this device", but now I don't really need Dialer One anyway since I can just use the builtin contacts through the People app. Another thing thats not really desired, once you make a call you will get a blank window for the Phone app at the bottom of your "history" list (button beside the home on the launcher) I will try to figure out a way to get rid of this annoyance and prevent history from ever showing the Phone app.
If you want to try it your self, here is what to do (you must be root):
If you have Android ICS 4.0.3 or newer Download the Motorola Atrix 4G Phone.apk here. **If you are using HC then you will need the Phone.apk from a Tegra2 device that runs HoneyComb 3.x**
Mount /system writeable
Move the file /system/app/Phone.apk to /system/app/Phone.apk.bak
Put the downloaded Phone.apk in /system/app
Touch the phone number for a contact in your "People" app
Choose to call with SipDroid (or other app in list that accepts the dial function)
Watch the call take place (you may want to try dialing someone you know you isn't going to answer the phone or wonder what you are doing haha)
**Please note that this does not enable the "Call/Dial" app to show up in your applications, it simply allows calls to be passed to a Sip dialer such as SipDroid**
I just got an A100 the other day and installed Talkatone. I thought that it integrated with People like it does on my android phone. After reading your post, I tried it out. Talkatone has the "phone intercept" options but nothing happens when you click on a number in People. However, if you have the "intercept sms" option in Talkatone enabled, clicking on a number in People will start Talkatone for sms. Looks like it is dependent on the phone.apk.
However, for Talkatone, you don't really need the People app. Talkatone displays your "people" in the Contacts tab so it is easy to dial out directly from the app. Overall Talkatone works pretty good with Google Voice on the A100, both sending and receiving calls.

Thanks for the tips, i will check out talkatone, but for now the "People" app works great the way it is suppose to. its always nice to try something different though too! +1
**Edit: I installed talkatone, it works wonderfully well with the Atrix Phone.apk, when you are in the People app, when you click a number to dial, it will prompt you for what you want to use to complete the action, first pick Call(Phone), don't pick Talkatone or SipDroid, then it will prompt you again to complete the action using either Call (Phone) or Talkatone- it should immediately bring up the Talkatone dialer and begin the call. To eliminate these steps, just set the check box to always use the methods on both prompts. First prompt just choose Call/Phone.apk - Second Prompt choose Talkatone. Now when you click a number in People in will automatically call in Talkatone ** Thanks notjustafone for the recommendation of Talkatone!!

[Q] Bluetooth Voice Dialer Help PLEASE!

This is a relatively small problem but it's driving me bonkers! So I have the Note II, rooted and equipped with SkyNote 9.0 Rom (Jellybean 4.1.2 - love it by the way!) and recently got the LG HBS-730 bluetooth headset. The story is that I can press the call button on the headset and it does a voice dial as specified in the manual.
The problem is I would like to strictly use Google Now for voice dialing and I have set up the necessary options to do so, but when I tried to deactivate the native voice dialer, I couldn't because I can't find the app. The application manager has no trace of a voice dialer. I have also looked in my folders as best I can to locate it but I can't. Does anyone have a clue where the native voice dialer is so I can shut it off or delete it?
Thanks!
