So, I've been looking for a way to control your hero with your voice, like you can with the iPhone 3GS, where you can do just about anything by just telling it to do it.
Ofc i've searched an googled, but the only thing i find is "google talk / google voice" which AFAIK is a sort of IP phone which uses Internet to call with your special google number, which apparently is very cheap(closed beta though)..
anyway, is there an app for talking to your phone to make it do stuff?
I think i've seen a movie somewhere on the Internet where a guy speaks to a android devise and the phone types exactly what he said into a SMS Message without any wrongs... anyone else know about this?

I'm not sure but I think what your asking is in Android 1.6 check out the link below and you should see voice action start at 1:05 in the video.

Thank you, thats exactly what I was looking for
However only one part.. You know of a app that types what you say in like SMS and other textfields?(Or is this embedded with Android 1,6?)
When is the 1,6 release anyway?
1.6 is already out. We're waiting for someone to cook the ROM to be use in the Hero. The Sprint HTC Hero comes with 1.6.

Android 1.6 is being released for all Android phones starting last week. The new phones coming out should be or will be released with the newest rom available, thats why in this case HTC hero for Sprint is 1.6. The Hero is not due out until the 11th of Oct. i think, Android 1.6 is just the rom that was available for this phone.
The Speak function you asked about to run apps was released in an earlier Android I think Cup cake. The Text to speech TTS is a function released in Android 1.6. The video you seen I think I saw on a google video showing things possible with cup cake I think it was going to be in one of the roms to come, I will see if I can find that Video and post it later.
hey there. I am about to buy an htc dream which is already unlocked. I want to root my phone so I was wondering if downgrading then rooting it would affect my unlocked status in any way?
Don't worry, your phone will still remain unlocked.
alright sweet, i was just a little worried because on another site (android forums) a user was saying that it may lose its unlocked status.

You might wanna wait though for upcoming phone in 2010 like Nexus that was rumored to be 199 unlocked but who knows might be less than 400 bux
My point is wait for something better since dream has very limited HW.
well i live in canada and we usually dont get access to nice phone right away, right now i am running an lg neon which is less than desirable. This would be my first smart phone so i will probably get it and keep it till 2011 or so. I appreciate your opinion though for sure.
Could I also get an answer for a thread link to the easiest method of rooting? I have heard about the instantroot.apk, would this work with an htc dream?

If you mean the GSM version then use this guide, it has a nice vid that should help out.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
Follow each step and dont skip any.The GSM Dream cant be used on rogers or telus i think, not sure if they use CDMA(no sim)
There is no CDMA Dream Never heard of telus but Rogers is GSM fo sho.
i want to use it with fido (fido's parent company is rogers (they use sim)) would this still work? also does this work with all firmwares?
Will what work? If your phone accepts the SIM for the carrier you want to use now then it always will.. If not then you'll need an unlock code. Try the one click root method using flashrec.apk and report back if that doesn't work....
alright cool, im buying the phone on friday so ill report back later. (using the method in the video to root my htc dream)
Could someone please explain what the difference between recovery and rom is.

A rom is like Win7 or linux and recovery mode is like DOS/CMD or maybe safe mode on a PC.The rom is flashed and the recovery mode is needed to flash custom roms from here and to flash themes.
ok sweet, you guys are actually a HUGE help in helping me understand this. So after i follow that video my phone will be "rooted" After that I go to install the latest rom from CG. Do i use the files in the video (the recovery file) or something better out now? also should i use the linda file manager he talks about or astro?
also what is DOUNT and cupcake.
oh right also do i need to install "CyangenMod Recovery IMG" what is it?

google names the updates after pastries. 1.5 is cupcake (1st version to have a soft keyboard) next is 1.6 donut (supports different screen sizes, new market, a bit snappier) and the latest is 2.0 eclair (what the droid has. not out for any other phones yet. refined browser, car home, and other cool features like navidation, you can get navigation on donut too though trough the market.)

about the navi, i heard that it only works in canada after a workaround but I would assume that it needs 3g for it to work which i do not have in my plan.

Since I do not have data I probably should not download this because the only internet i will be using is wifi. Does this phone have an option to turn off all data, to prevent accidental usage. (like the iphone)
Since I do not have data in my plan is their any reason for me to get this? i would think that google maps will suffice.
could somone also please exlplain SPL, from what i have read it is somesort of compatibility with roms, how can i check mine and does the latest CGM require a high SPL

I had the same problem and found it was due to the rom I was using. iMobsters and Digg both didn't work, something about embedded web pages. Funny enough, Steel didn't work while Dolphin did.

Wanted to make sure everyone knew about this. Link can be found via their twitter acct. Sadly at&t doesn't want us to have it. I'm sure there might be an easier way, but I will probably flash a quick galaxy s rom and see if it will let me pick it up that way. Anyone else interested in getting this? Or if you know an easier way of getting it please let me know.

Thanks for the heads up.
I can't get the game either, on an AT&T Captivate in Canada.
Yeah I have been trying different phones etc this morning to get it. I put my phone as the Droid on their page and put in my phone number. It sent me the download link but when I clicked it, It said no downloads are available for your phone. I am trying to find a way around this ... grrrrrr.
If you try to download it from the WAPStore with a Captivate Rom it will say its not available for your device..
Right above that message is the option to change your device.. lol
Amazingly simple work around. Just change your device to a Vibrant and bada bing. You got game.
EDIT: 181mb file must be downloaded after you download the initial 4.something or ruther mb apk
Same here. Lotta people also saying what's floating around out there won't work on our Galaxy S phones.
it works fine one cyanogen, i dont know if i can post the apk?? i dont think i can do that legally since its not gonna be free for long..

Seconded this. When you reach the screen saying there are no downloads for your phone tap on the bar that says "Captivate" and navigate to Vibrant. Donezo.

Worked!!! Perfect. Now to see if this thing will actually run on this phone ... should cause its a fellow galaxy s but ya never know....
Interesting ... It doesnt seem to recognize internal storage. It says 182 MB free space required on external SD and the screen only has 2 buttons ... retry or cancel. I have abour 6 gb free so hmmm ... maybe it's time to pony up for that expansion space.
Killer find, thanks for sharing!
didn't have a problem getting it with di11igaf's rom, well cause its awesome lol
Make sure your user agent is set to android.
What's with the SMS permissions?

This was an epic fail on Gameloft's part...
Try this if you are rooted.

Please, I know I am not reading this. Gameloft actually has done it right because they KNOW ATT app locks their phones so that is why they don't allow it. Imagine if they allowed you to spend the $5 to buy the game, only to find out you couldn't install it, you would be even more mad.
Needless to say there IS a fix as I installed it on my phone right now. You do NOT have to have a special rom to do it either, this is all you need
Requirements:
Phone rooted (got to market and get "One click Lag Fix" does it easliy)
App unlocked or sideload capable
If you have done that go to this post and read this thread. I am also attaching the apk for this, just in case if no one wants to bother with the stuff below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819721
What you want to do is change the build.prop. PLEASE MAKE COPIES of your original before you overwrite it. That really is your only goal for reading that thread.
Changing the build.prop makes the phone look like the i9000 which Gameloft will allow you to install the app. After the app has downloaded and installed. Copy the original build.prop over again and reboot your phone. You must reboot your phone each time you overwrite the file. Hope this helps.
I figured it is a useful trick to know as know it will have helped me for the 2nd time.
Or you can use the Android Central sideload wonder machine ... it works! Did it earlier
Still a fail... http://twitter.com/gameloft one tweet they say it works, the next no, this has NOTHING to do with rooting or anything else, it is a pure case of bad marketing and failing to do their research...
I managed to get it, they say they were having problems. This morning when I tried it sent me a text to site but I didn't think you could change the phone from there. I tried a minute ago and changed phone to vibrant and all is good.
Be sure to check back on their site. They will have more coming out through Christmas, but the links only stay up for about a day. Some days its iPhone while others will be for Android.

I know a lot of you guys are porting the Sensation ROM to our phones. I've tried Virtuous Unity and it's a really awesome ROM. But after all the sensation ROM is for qHD screens and the 16:9 ratio is not the same as that of our phones, which is 5:3. However the myTouch 4G Slide has a WVGA screen and is running something very close to Sense 3.0, so why not save all the resizing work and port this one onto our phones instead?
I've seen this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159943
But there are quite a few bugs about this one(especially Wi-Fi, the others I can just get on with), and no one seems to be doing anything about it. Could anyone make this port perfect for daily use? I believe a port from a WVGA device will be more convenient for both daily use and Android development.
Thanks a LOT!
Posting in several forums don't help.

ok, thanks for trying. will give it a try later this evening (US time).
got this up and running on my Inc... will monitor over the next couple of days and report my findings in this thread...
17 hours and it's running pretty good. minor issues i've encountered so far include:
- cannot set the new email tone like you can with other Sense 3.0 ROMS
- the groups feature on the contacts doesn't work; button is there but it disappears
- no options for the lock screen, e.g., weather, pictures (don't know if this is by design)
- i've had at 2 lockups that required pulling the battery, but not sure what caused it. i'm going to try version 3 of the MDJ kernel to see if that helps.
will continue testing...
