Ok. So I finally got Voice Command installed on my device. Problem is that when I go to use the default record button "Home" key to start it the device loads voice dialing instead. I was wondering if anyone knew how to disable/uninstall voice dialing completely since having two voice programs doesn't make any sense.
Background on device: T-Mobile Dash App Unlocked/CID Unlocked (using the WM5toWM6 thread) on Brightpoint ROM with Smart Tool Kit 8
Thanks
I can't take credit for this because I found this in another thread, but if you go into the voice command setup and set the activation button to app3 then the home key will work.
I could have sworn I tried that. I really did. lol thanks
I had the same thought when I read it in the other thread. I was so frustrated and then my prayers were answered...lol

Thanks for the tip, worked perfectly.
Soooo i JUST found out that the google search can be used to make calls when my sister tried to google something and it started calling a friend.
what other cool commands are there that the phone will act on?
for completion sake the command was
"Call <name>"
if you have multiple names or names that are similar, such as christine, christina, kristen (i just said call chris) it will bring them up as options which is pretty nifty.
The options are limited right now. I know Froyo will greatly expand on this. Allowing you to do a lot more than just call. I am assuming compose text messages and much more.
Here is what I use:
"Call <Persons name>"
"Navigate to <location, address, name or zip>"
Those are the only 2 commands I know of. Everything else will result in a search. You can get apps that will allow you to compose SMS or emails to hold you over till Froyo.
If you are using the voice dialer app you can use "Open (app name". For instance in the car I use "Open Pandora".
I don't think it works with the search button, but if you use the voice dialer it does.
I Have the Drioid Incredible and I was given an option of vlingo in-car, vlingo voice and voice dialing. I clicked on the voice dialing and also clicked the use as default checkbox. I'd like to change that to vlingo voice. How do I change a default voice dialing app?
Go to settings/applications/manage and find voice dial in the apps. Select it abs then select clear defaults.

I could not stand the vlingo crap that Samsung put on the galaxy s2. The thing would not recognize what I was saying when I was just trying to make a call. I don't need the thing to type out a text message for me, I just need to be able to make calls hands free with my bluetooth. Another plus is that the Google Voice Dialer does not require network connectivity to do the voice recognition unlike vlingo. Here's how to do it. You gotta have root to do this. If you want vlingo back, push VoiceToGo.apk from here to /system/app
1. Download VoiceDialer.apk from here
2. remount via adb
3. Push VoiceDialer.apk to /system/app/VoiceToGo.apk
Now you have the stock Google voice dialer that detects commands better than vlingo, at least for me.
This also works by renaming VoiceSearch.apk to VoiceToGo.apk....the google voice search that's on the phone works pretty well for dialing also, but will allow you to search google for stuff via your bluetooth headset also.
I think this option is already available under settings -> voice input and output -> voice recognition -> change to Google from Samsung voice powered by vlingo.
Correct me if I am wrong though.
It did nothing for me, vlingo would come up even with google selected

you can download google voice search from the market and when you hit the "search" button on your phone for the first time it will ask which one you want as default

Google Voice Search and Google Voice Dialer are 2 different apps.
When I first longpressed the search key, it offered vlingos voice talk or googles voice search as the two options, and I had set googles as the default and since forgot about vlingo.
I bought ifrogz luxe earbuds today, and when I click the remote, the dreaded vlingo launches. Im not rooted, and was wondering if I could make it launch googles voice search instead.
Yeah, samsung cheated and locked vlingo to the headset key. Thanks. I was hoping that someone would fix this before an aosp rom came out

Thanks for this. Vlingo is the worst app I have ever used for bluetooth dialing.

I have reason to believe that vlingo does not in fact use the bluetooth microphone when you activate it with bluetooth, even if you do set it in the settings. After I installed my exhaust in my car the microphone icon was fully lit when I was driving because it was picking up the rumbling. I get no problems with google voice dialing or even when I set the voice search for the bluetooth voice dial.
I can't get this to work, I pushed the apk as instructed, I connect my blue tooth and press the button, but i get no prompt.
Make sure to remount for r/w access, push to system/app as VoiceToGo.apk not VoiceDialer.apk and if ask else fails, delete the old VoiceToGo.apk before pushing. You can always do it via root explorer too

thanks, I did use root explorer and rename it to VoiceToGo before pushing. I should note that I did not have an old voicetogo.apk .... could that be my problem?
What ROM are you running? VoiceToGo is vlingo voice app, if you have it running and the apk doesn't exist, I'm not sure what you could do. You could try install the voicedial.apk

Works great on my epic 4g touch. The google voice search has worked better than vlingo for me so this is great. I couldn't do it with the adb, I kept getting a remount error but the root explorer was simple and easy. Also, fyi you can replace vlingo with the app google car home for when you dock it in the samsung car dock. This is a much better interface that also uses google voice search. Check this link out and make sure to follow his instructions on the order of install.

Note: Voice dialing worked as stated in my post. But for voice search to execute when the bluetooth button is pressed I had to install bluetooth launcher from the market. In bluetooth launcher choose voice search, then I chose com.google.android.voicesearch.recognitionactivity. This only worked after I had replaced the vlingo app with voice dialer.

Yeah, I tried that Bluetooth launcher app but it still would launch vlingo, that's why I went on my quest to replace it

I have to say guys, I have had the exact opposite experience on my original Epic 4G. The Google Voice Dialer is single handedly THE worst piece of crap I have ever used. Not once has it ever properly understood my commands. Google Voice Search thankfully does as well as this Vlingo app when I took it from an Epic 4G Touch and pushed it to my Epic 4G. Both of these programs work near flawless for me for proper voice detection. I've had such horrible experiences with the stock Voice Dialer that I delete it from every ROM I use upon first boot. So I'm not sure why you are singing Voice Dialer's praises when it simply isn't true at all.

maybe it's your Bluetooth headset. I have a jawbone hero and I NEVER have issues with it recognizing and interpreting what I say. Vlingo NEVER interprets what I say. It's as if it doesn't utilize the Bluetooth and it's using the phone's microphone.

I prefer google voice search to voice dial just because it can execute more commands although voice dial has worked well for me. As far as getting the bluetooth button to launch voice search it does work for me when I replaced the vling with voice dial. Then select bluetooth launcher and select voice search. Then it comes up with a dialog box asking which program you want to use as your default bluetooth launcher(voice search) or voice dial. But it's all for not really because voice search does not use the bluetooth headset microphone for input so I went back to voice dial for now. Come on Google add bluetooth microphone input for voice search.

Replacing VoiceToGo.apk with voicesearch.apk gave me Bluetooth recognition. Only thing I didn't like about it was that it didn't repeat my command back to me

Is there one that repeats the command and asks for confirmation like Microsoft Voice Command does on Windows Mobile? I hate not being able to cancel if it guesses wrong.
Anyone found a way to do this? Appears you can only map it to voice talk but that doesnt auto prompt for voice commands (have to either say hi galaxy or hit the button) while voice command automatically starts listening upon opening and it has a lot more features integrated. I find it does a better job that google voice search at name recognition also.
