Hi all,
I want to flash CM on my LG4 but been hesitate because the camera is so good. I love the voice command (saying "LG" to talk picture) and the feature where it track your hand to take a picture. Is/are there any other camera apps that does these? Thanks for any help.

Anybody try out the new Voice to Text feature on the LG Windows Phone 7? Any way that we can get it on the other Windows Phone 7 models? If I understand correctly it is only available for the LG. Any thoughts would be great!!!
Thanks Guys
I works pretty well. I have Samsung captivate and LG quantum. The LG app is about as good as the Android Google voice actions interms of accuracy. Basically you open the app, and it allows you to pick which app you want voice to text to use for, messaging, email, twitter, etc. You then record your text and then hit ok, it will open the messaging app. All you need to do is pick who you want to send it to. I would use it. Pretty cool app.
sweet sounds cool...anybody know if we can somehow get it on say the samsung focus

Yes it will be great on my Focus! Please keep us updated.
LG has some pretty cool aps, the best of all manufacturers IMHO. All three features; DLNA, Voice-2-Text, and Augmented Reality are dreamers for me. If the LG Quantum was released at the time I got the Focus it would have made me pause and think about it. Still 60-40 chance i would have gotten the Focus because of the larger/crisper screen and the storage upgrade.
But here is to hoping MS brings LG's apps to all WP7's...
does anyone know if it is at all possible to extract the xap from a windows phone 7
Does anyone know if the quick responses feature works with google voice text. I don't have SMS plan. So it would be super useful to have that feature. I have google voice installed. But I don't see any setting for that.
If it's like other functions (at least on gingerbread), like voice actions, it will ask you what you want to use to send the text when you use the feature, and you can choose GV as default there.
I don't have a GN to confirm this, so this is only an educated guess.
I posted a question about this the other day. It does not look like there is an intent for this.
When I tested this, the reply came from my cell phone number, not my google voice number. There IS an intent for "send text..." in Voice Actions but doesn't look like for this. I hope there's a fix!
Maybe a dev can take up creating one?
Back with my Samsung Galaxy S II, I had loaded an MIUI rom and used their five-points lock screen - one of the short cuts was for the SMS app. Someone had created an APK that I installed, that after installation, when I went to the SMS shortcut, up popped up an intent asking if I wanted the Messages or Google Voice app. I wish I had the know-how to do something like this!
Is there any way for us to get this to work with google voice? I want it bad!
Did anyone get this figured out?
I'm using ICS on a captivate and use GV for everything. I would really like to get this working so I can use the quick responses.
I'd really like to see this fixed/added too. After searching, I really only saw these two other forums tracking it and wasn't sure if there are other places I should be raising my hand. I can confirm that it's the only part of the OS that I've come across that does not let me choose Google Voice instead of the native phone or messenger.

Is this something that would likely pop up as an update to ICS? Is this something that would likely require loading an entirely different ROM? Are those questions even appropriately constructed (new to android)?
I made an app a few months back that let you share some text... one of the frequently referenced intents in Android documentation would only send to Messaging (show you the messaging app with the text pre-filled in) and not GV..
Another, less publicized intent let you "Share" with all kinds of applications. This was the only one that would prefill GV and Messaging (and email and tons of other apps). But again, it was an intent that would open the apps pre-filled, not send it.
Another thing that could be done in the app was to just send a text from within the app.. The user never sees the messaging or any other app and the text is sent. This is obviously can only work through native SMS not GV. (For this, an app that uses this feature needs the SMS permission)
--
I haven't done the quick responses yet, but I assume they send the text without taking you to an app, so that's not an intent that's sending a message through the OS, and impossible with GV. Again, I haven't looked at Quick Responses, so I don't know if this is how it behaves.
Please Star the issue on Google Code to get Google's attention!

Also - disregard my last comment. The intent to send through GV already exists, they just need to call the right intent in the dialer app / quick response. This fix would literally take them 5 minutes to do. Star it to get higher priority on the issue!

Because the bug still needs attention?
Sorry for the noob question. I accidentally tried installing a ROM for the Sprint Nexus. Ever since then, my camera takes pics but doesn't save them to the gallery. Additionally, I can't see any of my old pictures at all. I am able to view them with a different viewer I downloaded on the marketplace, but that's it.
Thanks in advance for your guys' feedback.

Hi guys. First post for me but I've been reading these forums ever since I got my GN in January. Thanks to these forums I successfully updated my phone to yakju, then takju, and this morning to takju with JB 4.1.1. So...first I want to say thanks.
Second, I do have a question regarding the Sound Recorder app in JB. I noticed it for the first time when it popped up as an option while trying to upload to Facebook. I don't see it in the app or widget drawer. I checked in settings> apps>all and I see it there. Is there a way to add it to the home screen or actually launch it? Maybe I'm missing something and in that case feel free to pwn me.
Thanks in advance...
i too would like to know this, if anyone has any idea?
Just as in previous versions of android, the sound recorder app is not able to launch via the app drawer. If you really want to launch it, there is some code that you can put in to a terminal app, but the app will not actually save sounds to your phone. It is used as an extension of sorts that records sounds into certain apps, messages, etc... If you want to record audio files to your phone check out an app like Easy Voice Recorder on Google Play Store or my personal favorite, TapeMachine Recorder. (Sorry, can't post links yet.)
thanks for this jong31 - this is my first android device so wasn't aware of this particular limitation seen as all my other handsets down the years have always had a voice/sounder recorder built in!
i will go and download from the store now
Hi,
Just got my XL today. Trying to see if the Lens app is active and working.
Anyone have it working and how to get at it??????
Sorry for the basic questions,
Ken
It works for me. Take a picture, view it and then press the press the square icon at the bottom. It will search and give results.
It only works while viewing the picture in Google photos right now though. Supposedly future updates will integrate it in directly in the camera and other apps.
Ok,
Thanks guys, didn't know you had to take picture first then look.
I was trying to just put the camera on a subject.
