Strange Issue with Voice Recorder - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a strange issue with the Voice Recorder app. I've re-installed and done a factory restore after I upgraded to one of the gingerbread leaks and am now back to stock ec05. I had backed up my Visual Voicemail data and restored it ok. Both work just fine. But when I launch Voice Recorder and go to "List" the recordings it has, it's picking up and adding in the Visual Voicemail recordings which are also in .amr format. When I first had it, before I updated to gingerbread, it kept them separate, but now it's combining them, even though the visual voicemail files are nowhere near the same place...the visual voicemail files are in the root folder and the voice recorder files are in the my documents folder in the "audio" directory.
Is there any way to get Voice Recorder to not list the amr files from Visual Voicemail???

Put Original AT&T Voice Dial Program Back on Phone? (Missing windows/sddialer.exe)?

Put Original AT&T Voice Dial Program Back on Phone? (Missing windows/sddialer.exe)?
Upgraded to vp3g's 3.62 AT&T ROM for my 8525... and noticed when I got to setting up my voice tags a few days later that the voice dialer is not there (guess its not included in the ROM)... I guess most people use Cyberon Voice Dialer or Voice Command or Microsoft Voice Command... I have tried all of these and just simply prefer the original voice dialer that was included with my phone where I record my own voice for each voice tag I want to create (most "voice recognition" software doesn't work well with my appalachian accent, so I prefer to record the tag myself and only use maybe 10-15 tags so that's all I need).
Anyway, just looking to put the original voice tag/dialer software that came with my 8525 back on there, and doing some reading I notice I do not have a "sddialer.exe" file in my /windows directory....
I tried downloading a .cab that was 'supposed' to put these files back on my PPC but after running it nothing appears different and still no sddialer.exe and no new programs, icons, etc. on my phone.
Can anybody help?
***********ETA: READ ME!**********
OK, so I'm an idiot. The first Cyberon "Voice Dialer" program I had was actually a copy of the voice commander software someone had renamed to voice dialer. I happened to just notice the identical file sizes. I downloaded the correct Cyberon Voice Dialer .cab & installed it and this is actually the software I had before & was looking for. DOH! Sorry Guys. Mods please feel free to close/delete this post.

Voice Recorder

I've flashed several different roms...doing appropriate wipes prior to flashing. Everything works great aside from the 4g Camera flash issue and what looks to be a problem with the voice recorder stock app when you go to record and attach a voice memo to a MMS. It pulls up the voice recorder app but it does nothing...acts like it's frozen. Anyone else have this problem?

Music Apps playing Voicemails?!

So I've been having this issue since my first Android phone. I finally am fed up with up and hoping someone can help me out.
I normally sync my music from my Mac to Android phones with iSyncr. This continues even with my GNex. I notice that my voicemails from GVoice tends to show up on the playlist and gets played when I do shuffle.
Any possible solutions to this?!
Thanks!
Find out where your voicemails are stored, and stick a .nomedia file in that folder...
You're probably downloading your voicemails from Gmail instead of listening to them through the Voice app. This saves the voicemails as .mp3 files. Go through your library and delete all the voicemails and either use the Voice app or go into the settings in the Voice app and choose to show voicemails in call log.
I can't seem to find the Google voice folder. I've tried deleting the cache and all but it only wipes my settings and not voice mail.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Thanks for the replies so far!
This past week I installed zedge and it seems to pick up my ring tone folder as well...

[Q] Where does Voice Recorder store the files?

Hello, I want to backup the recording files created by Voice Recorder. As there are too many, it is inconvenience to send to my computer one by one. Where are the files being stored? Under Settings->Storage, Phone is selected. I don't know where in the phone are the recorded files being stored. Thanks.

Hangouts Calling! How to disable LG Dialer/incoming call notifications?

In leu of the newly released Hangouts app with Google Voice integration and Hangouts Dialer release, I downloaded and tried out the new Hangouts Dialer just now. It's awesome! However, I'm noticing that if someone calls my standard number or my Google Voice number the stock LG dialer intercepts the call and makes me answer it through the stock interface.
So now I want to permanently disable the stock LG dialer apps safely. I used Titanium Backup to freeze the "Answer Me" app but the calls still come through the stock dialer. Anyone know what else is required to freeze/uninstall to get this to go away?
EDIT 1:
I partially figured it out. In order to freeze the stock dialer app from intercepting calls to your Google Voice number, freeze the following 3 apps...
Answer Me 2.0.0
Phone 4.8.24 (VOICEMAIL)
Phone/Messaging Storage 3.5.16 (SMS/MMS/APN)
This solves the issue for your Google Voice number or if you've forwarded your standard number to your Google Voice number. However, if you don't have your standard number forwarded to your Google Voice number, calls to your standard number will still come through the stock dialer for some reason...
EDIT 2:
I also noticed that if you click on a phone number in the phone's browser (Chrome in my case) or Google Maps, it still opens the phone number in the LG dialer app, even though the app is disabled. So to make a call in Hangouts you need to copy the number then paste it into the Google Dialer. This obviously isn't a great solution by any means. Hopefully we can figure out a way to make the Hangouts dialer act as the stock dialer across everything within the phone.

Yeah, it's obnoxious. It's got me missing the AOSP ROMs on my Nexus phones. With AOSP you can just set the Hangouts Dialr as the default phone app and call it a day.
My understanding is if you stop forwarding your number to your cell phone on the Google voice website, it will stop ringing your cell number and the only ring will be Hangouts. You may find you also need to remove the now largely uneeded google voice ap, it conflicts with hangouts... NOTE: if you do this, you will not receive GV calls if you do not have a good data connection. You also wan't dial out on GV if you don't have a data connection. Since they aren't going to your cell number anymore.
