Ivona Salli has been added to the Kindle Fire and I was messing around with the "say" command in Tasker and was absolutely stunned by this voice. I tried extracting every single Ivona file out of a Kindle update bin and put it all in stock Android. I had 2 outcomes. 1) Ivona TTS has stopped working 2) I fixed that only to find out that Ivona TTS had no version info so language and input didn't want to keep it selected. Would anybody happen to know how or even try to pull this off? Salli is the best TTS voice ever and it would be fantastic to have on stock Android.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
Did anyone get any further with this? Maybe someone could upload the Salli files, so others could take a look?
I got tired of my Kindle Fire and it's lack of stock Android features and simple things like having TWRP for nandroid backups, so I ended up grabbing a Nexus 9 instead. It'd still be nice if anybody else can upload the Salli files though.
i'd love to see this too. Salli is one of the best TTS voices i have heard.
it has been done. 4pdu forum has the details.

Do you have a link to where this is posted on 4PDU? My Russian is lacking and I'm having a hard time finding it.
here are the details.
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=200728&st=1000
essentially you need to:
Download the ivona modded app.
Download the salli voices
install the app
put the voices on your sdcard.
rename a couple of files.
run the modded app and point it to the voice files. Job done!
(hit thanks if i helped!)
Thanks Sage. Now I just need to figure out how to make an account over there so I can download the files. Can't get past the Russian captcha image. Thanks again.

Hey, I saw your message about Ivona.
I have the 4pda files, and I've tried to install, but it always crashes.
I'm not sure that I'm putting thing in the right places and making the right mods, because
the install scripts directories do not work (no /data/data for one). So I had to edit the files and try to make it the best I could.
I'm on nougat. Can you shed any light?
thanks

i can try.. i am Nougat too so that won't be the problem.
Put the Ivona files in an Ivona folder in the root of your SDCard. \Ivova\eng.us.salli\
you need to rename the files to match the voice you want to use. In my folder i have:
lang_en_us_salli.dat
libtiver.so
libttsivonavoice.so
libvoice_en_us_salli.so
voice_en-Us_salli.dat
vox_en_us_salli22i
Install the modified apk ivona.tts.1.0.0.0b1
Go to Text to speech settings and choose Ivona. Press the Settings button near it choose install voice data and select the ROOT of the folder where eng.us.salli is. So the Ivona folder. NOT the eng.us.salli folder.
If you do it right you should get about 6 log about saying successful. If you do it wrong you only get 2 log lines.
I also have Ivona set to use System Language. And in Android i have both Australia and America. (Because Salli is an American language). I then use Tasker to utilise the voice.

Thank you so much for posting a solution to this. It seems, however, that the files on that site are no longer available. Would you or anyone else be able to send me a copy of the Salli voice files by any chance? Thanks!

Thanks alot Sage. Appreciate the effort.
Now I have to Play around with how to install everything. I'll rad your other post about that.
I'm kinda new to all this flashing and hacking devices so I'll try my best to get it going before I ask questions.
I have a Samsuung SM-T320 wifi that I breathed new life into running cyanogenmod 13. I use it for reading ebooks and been looking for a voice to run text to speech and Salli is by far the best with British Amy coming in a close second.
Thanks once again for the share. :good:
So I have the apk installed and the Ivona folder on the sd card.
I have selected the Ivona tts gone into setting added the ivona folder not the eng.us.salli
The log tells me it completed successfully.
WHen i go back to the the text to speech menu under the Ivona tts 2 menu option are unavalable which are
1. speech rate
2.listen to an ecample
3. defualt language status is avalable with the grey message English (United states, SALLI) is not supported
What am i doing wrong?
seems like this file is missing maybe? I really don't know
voice_en-Us_salli.dat
I saw it on your other post

Sounds like you did everything right. Mine says "Use System Language" and my System Language is English Australia. Though i know in the settings i added United States as well. (you can have 2 languages installed)
voice_en_us_salli.dat is just lang_en_us_salli.dat renamed.

So I just had a look at the original file that you shared. In that file I only got this .dat file - lang_en_us.dat
Now I renamed that file to what match your file list that you posted which was lang_en_us_salli.dat (added the salli)
Should I revert it back to how you sent it?
Should I also add another renamed file voice_en_us_salli.dat?
What is your suggestion?
1. Should I run lang_en_us.dat & renamed file voice_en_us_salli.dat?
2. lang_en_us_salli.dat & voice_en_us_salli.dat
3. only lang_en_us.dat with nothing else?
I would've used the Aussie voices but I don't think they're as good as the U.S
Cheers

So I tried all the above combinations and still nothing works.
In the Language menu I have 4 options
1. use sysytem language
2.English
3.English(United States)
4English(United states SALLI)
In the Ivona TTS section
If i select the first 3 options
spech rate
listen to an example
default language status are all operational options although none will play a demonstration
With Salli selected in the language menu
The fist two options in the Ivona TTS section are not operational and the default language stats says Salli is not supported
I'm confused

Hi there,
I noticed when trying to open a file with for instance pqview, I can only see the my documents directory. I know there´s a fix for this somewhere on this forum, I only have not be able to find it with the search feature...
Does someone know what to do?
Thanks
Anyone any idea?
Please please? I know there´s a fix for this somewhere on this forum. Just can´t find it. Would really appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction
for starters...
update ur signature. tell us ur phone version ur rom ur radio and the details of who cooked the rom.
second more details on ur question such as the app u were using to open with.
i dont have this problem. the apps always show two three or four options as to base location to choose from.
either my device. storage card. network. or extended rom if unhidden.
these r usually located at the top left as a drop down.
u may have lost ur sd card... if indeed that is where ur looking.
in the end dude... urnt a noob with that many posts either that or u have been flamed some.
first signature. then lots more details. we r not mind readers n dont have time to bugger around with people who ask such half baked questions with inadequate details to give u an answer.

Thanks for the replies. I'm using the LVSW version WM6, of 26th march, for the Hermes. The program which has the issue, is pqview.
I have not lost my SD card. It is accesible through file explorer

I don't find the build in app easy. To zoom for instance, one must go to options, zoom. I like to see thumbnails as well.

Here is the link to the thing.
You will also find a nice flash animation on how to use it here - it is showing pictures like one attached.
Please use Google first. This is not a support forum for PQView.

The attached picture is printscreen of the instructional flash presentation there which tells how to open a different directory. In short to open a directory other than My documents there is a way: In Pqview tap file>>Open Image>>you see open file screen which offers my documents folder for browsing, if you tap the screen directly above left top edge of this box you will get dropdown box in which you can choose to browse : your device (which means you can browse further for whatever file you have on your phone) or My documents. See attached screenshot. It does not show the caption of the current folder for me but you can clearly see where to tap if you want to open a file wrom within PQView. I managed to open some pictures so you should be able to do so too.
wmDownloader v0.2
This application allows you to easily download files from One-Click-Hosters like rapidshare. It can be used to download your files overnight without use of PC, but remember to plug your PocketPC to charger.
I recomend turning of not cheap GPRS data connection in case of WiFi lost connection.
Application using michyprima's manila SDK.
User guide:
After first start go to "Config" tab, select destination folder for your files and click "Save". Now you can add files in "Files" tab or by editing file "files.txt" and then reloading it using "Menu->Reload files.txt".
When you added some files you can start download process. Files will be removed automaticly from list after download.
Known bugs:
- not all rapidshare error messages are parsed
- directory browser can't create new directory
- some minor UI bugs like formatting timer
Change log:
v0.2
- code prepared for multiple upload websites
- added config for download folder
- new UI
- .NET CF 3.5 used
v0.1
- initial write

Nice idea, will test it.
edit: Works, but the problem with my device is , that i haven´t got a Storage Card, it called "Interner Speicher" on my german Diamond. So the files will download only to device storage -.-
Another problem is, that the device turn off, when I am downloading, so it would be nice if you can put in a function, that disable this,during the app is running.
And of course if possible more hoster support, for example netload, upload..

Rapidshare downloader.rar
Many thanks, elektro255, it simply WORKS!
There is a file, that for the past weeks I never got a chance from crapidshare to downlead it,I was thinking that the site will never give a slot for this file. But last night your lite tool did it. After about 20 times trying by itself, it downloaded the file while I was sleeping.
Here's some minor issues and suggestions:
Like others found, in my Chinese ROM, it created a folder and downloaded the file to main memory.
On my QVGA device, the font size for displaying details is too small.
Is that possible in future release to make it work with other sites like mediafire etc. I don't really have demand for this myself, but maybe others have better suggested site.
Last thing is that your app does not have an icon and the shortcut looks not good in start menu. If you want to keep the tiny size of it and does not want to include another file into it, you may just use one of the system icons that comes with shellres etc.
Anyway it already did what is expected to do.
Premiumaccount and "Speicherkarte" support - would be nice

Hi,
I made simple app to download rapidshare.com files over night.
1. App is just pre pre alpha version but works for now
2. I'm not planning to continue work on this app as long as it works fine for me [but if you have good idea what can be included in next version you can write on this topic]
3. For this app is required \Storage Card\ folder.
App written in C# .NET 2.0, tested on HTC Topaz
Downloaded files are stored in \Storage Card\Downloads\
Rapidshare links are stored in \Storage Card\Downloads\files.txt (after edit via external editor, app have to be restarted)
I advise to disable GPRS connection (to avoid big bill in case of wifi disconnected) and to conect charger

This software doesn't support Premium Account?
Software is working fine on qvga...but fonts are pretty small...if possible make it user freindly...thanks
Thank you for the excellent program. I apologize for my English. Not bad, it would be in the input line to copy-paste, and a great author, please do similar programs on letitbit.net and depositfiles.com. Many thanks in advance.
Thanks for the good job! Could you make it possible to choose the directory path to save the file?
Nice work Bro
Small little app but works like a champ!! Works just like rapidshare auto downloader (for those who don't know, just google it coz this is a really convenient software for those who use rapidshare often) but in windows phone version.
Nice job
I decided to continue work on this application. So v0.2 you can download in first post.
Currently I'm working to support other One-Click-Hosters like hotfile, so check this thread time-to-time.
This seems like a really neat program, will be using now!
Thanks a lot!

Hey great idea, but yea writing the web address is a pain, copy n paste would be good, but how about incorporating search!!!
Maybe hook up to a few search sites, use their code, and then be able to click on it, which inputs the address into what you already have!
Just a thought lol

Awesome! I really got impressed when I saw that somebody actually make a downloader for WM. I have a question though, does this work on non-touch devices? [i600, HTC S620/Excalibur]
Ok, there are roms that includes files for several languages for text -> speech , but non are my native language.
What files are needed and how to install (just copy with root explorer?) and are there even such files for my language (Finnish) ?
Any help is appreciated.
If this can be solved, I think there are people needing same for their language.
BTW. I need files for ICS 4.0.4
To send or not to send, that is not really a question?

Or can some ROM developer add more languages to speech to text support to the ROM that he/she is developing ?
Is this in right section?

Are you referring to the stock samsung keyboard? It had some swype like functionality, but was not actually swype. You can enable this via: “Settings” > “Language and Input” and then click the wheel next to “Samsung keyboard” and check “Continuous Input”. (Instructions from external website, cannot confirm because current rom does not have stock keyboard.) Hope this helps.
