Google Translate - Greyed Out Options - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just flashed Cyanogen 4.1.11. I know i'm late to the party since the new version is out, but I've read that it's slower than 4.1.11 so I'm going to wait a bit.
Just a question, after watching the official 1.6 vid from google on youtube, I saw that they have translations. However I can't find that app. I download the voice files by going to
Settings - Speech Synthesis but after that I'm stuck.
also I noticed that
Accessibility options are greyed out. What gives? In the new Cyanogen rom is it different?
thanks for the replies

Just got the app that was demonstrated in the official 1.6 video.
Its called Translate
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-beust-android-translate-jpBE.aspx
However it doesn't work with the Text to speech I downloaded, the way that it should work according to the google video.
anyone know how to fix that?

Search By Voice & Donut

Hi,
I've got a UK Vodafone Magic and just received the OTA Donut update today. However it seems to have broken the Google Search By Voice app, as I just seem to get a Force Close everytime I try to use it.
I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it but it still doesn't work.
Anybody got any ideas?
Cheers
Mark
Same problem here mate! I've been playing around with donut for the last 3 days, but voice search is completely broken (not even there to be more precise). Just hope google provide us with a fix in the near future.
Guys ,
theirs an updated version of Google search by voice on the market and it is now donut compatible
Is there any way of getting Search by voice if it doesn't list on market? I'm on vodafone.nl and according to google themselves, voice dial/voice search is not available in my country.. which is a tad awkward due to laws regarding phoning while driving...
Seeing I can't find a working root guide for 1.6 using MarketEnabler is out of the question unless I roll back to 1.5, which in turn doesn't have the new search capabilities....

I can't help you with rooting a 1.6 phone, as I rooted at 1.5, but you certainly can root and then flash a 1.6 ROM. That is how I got Donut as my carrier still has not released it.

[kinda solved] google maps navigation doesn't talk to me

hello, i tried searching for this problem but didnt find it.
my phone is working fine except for an issue with google navigation.
the phones supposed to give you voice instructions but theres no sound at all even with it maxed out.
is there supposed to be a voice or is my maps screwed up?
i am running...
superd 1.9.3 w/ wg kernal
death spl
that new radio
latest maps available installed
new info
i put fastest on my g1 for fun while waiting for new superd. i had a chance to test out navigation and to my surprise i got talked to by robot voice lady.
will have to wait for superd before saying this was just a minor glitch.
maybe you said something to upset it?
i think on first load, it asks to download a speech app from the market...don't remember the name, perhaps it is the TTS service (text to speech)?
i have both tts and svox installed from google translate.
that program talks to me with the ladies robot voice just fine.
just can't seem to figure it out for maps.

[Q] How to edit Share Menu in Android 2.2?

Hey all,
I'm new to Android and tried searching the web and here and found nothing.
Is there any app I can download that will allow me to edit the Share menu?
I have a bunch of apps that came with my Galaxy S that I don't use because I replaced them with better apps (i.e, Samsung email, default SMS app) but they continue to populate in the share menu.
This is driving me crazy. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

i have the same q.?
bump. you guys get it figured out? i have the same issue and posted in another forum asking the same thing. you can keep an eye on it there too in case they answer first. (i am bmoons on that one)
it wont let me link over there yet but its on android forums dot com
This is a known problem.
I think the way the apps appear in the menu is their manifest xml includes details that allow gallery to draw the details as opposed to them pushing their details into an editable menu.
So, delete the apps with something like super manager (rooted).
funny thing is i used titanium backup to uninstall the stock twitter app and its still there. some of those apps dont even have options. i use an app that downloads youtube videos and its in the share menu for some reason. i tried it on a video i recorded to see if maybe it would upload to my account and it doesnt do anything.
i hope they fix it. i dont like that picasa is an option but not even loaded on the phone anywhere that i can find. havent gone in with a root explorer. mostly because i know i will get cocky and delete stuff and ruin the phone
There's an app for that... almost
Andmade Share gives you a configurable Share item where you can edit what appears in its sub-menu. Second-best to what the OP requested, but better than nothing.

Cool Reader what is going on?

Hi,
Today I installed Blackmart Alpha on my Nook, and I saw a updated version of Cool Reader (3.1.0-19), you can find it on here. However on Google Play, the newest version is 3.0.57-15, updated long time ago. Does anyone know what is it? I cant even find the devs web page, only the engine's sourceforge.
It has redesigned UI, better in my opinion, however I am unable to get into "Reader's Options", when activated (middle-screen press), in blinks black, and goes to books list. On my phone it shows options like search or open file. Anyone knows how to fix it?

You have to wait, it's a beta version so it's still unstable, i have already signaling the bug on the official topic on mobilereader, let's hope it will be fixing soon
Thre's only one thing missing in CoolReader - a good library (diffrent types of sorting and view, shelves, monitoring specific folders etc.). As far as I'm concerned, reading features and options are amazing!

This. If I really want to be picky, I'd like a 12 hour clock option too, though.

google talkback problem on motorola razr i

Hello, a while ago i noticed a problem with the google talkback app, which is used by our phone for example to read out loud the callers name or give us a voice feedback in th Endomondo app. The problem is that afer the last update which was a few months ago the voice from the app has completely disappeared and whichever voice and language i download and choose ther is only the silence when i try to listen to a smple, or in endomondo or when it should read the callers id.
When i unistalled the update the voice started working good and its possible to use the google talkback without a problem.
However, the last update brought polish language to the app, and without the update i cant enjoy it..
Does anyone else have the same issue as me and my mototola?
Perhaps somebody found a solution to this issue?
I wrote an email to google concernig this but i got silence in return...
hey, does nobody else have issues with google talkback like me?
please help and at least comment that for you its working fine...
Yeah... The update for TTS is not working on the RAZR i... you can read a couple of user comments on the play store written by Razr i users. Nobody seems to care about that. Maybe we have to contact google about the problem.
EDIT:
Just installed the latest update and its working again YIPPI!
