Bluetooth voice dialler on Captivate-based ROM - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone yet found a solution for the voice dialler on captivate-based 2.2 froyo roms?
I'm running cognition 3.04 currently, and I haven't heard any news for this long standing issue...
I can pull up the voice dialler with my bluetooth headset, but it doesn't recognize any of my commands.

Doesn't work on the rogers release either. I imagine it won't be an available option when att finally releases froyo.

Firefly worked with voice dialing ( and bluetooth voice dialing ) without doing anything. Just flash it.

voice Keyboard

Anyone find a voice keyboard (Paid or Free) that works with Myn's warm Donut. If I can get this to work I will have the perfect android build, for now.

using chomp sms (or handcent sms) will cover you for sms. or you could take the plunge and try mssmison's eclair, the default eclair keyboard has voice to text built in.
I tried mssmison's eclair before switching to Myns warm donut, the voice never worked on anything, myns works on everything very well, except there is no voice keyboard..

BlueTooth and custom roms

Is the voice dialing BT functionality of the Droid X part of blur? Anyone use a BT headset and a custom rom that can confirm one way or the other?
well for those interested... BT functions from stock DX rom are lost in at least Rubix blurless
Idk if this is the same as Bluetooth voice but you can download "Voice Search" from Google in the Market and get voice recognition back for texting and search. Don't know if it works for Bluetooth though

It's not. The stock voice dialer on the dx is absolutely leaps and bounds better than aosp, I am shocked deva have not rooted it apart and used it for non blur roms.

Cog 4 to 4.1 question

If going from 4 to 4.1 but do I have to disable lagfix? Reason I ask is I'm now experiencing the issues others are having re: voodoo and don't want to have to Odin just to update.
Food for thought but maybe all these voodoo issues ate related to either post 4.0 flashes such as adding the extra lock screens or various GPS fixes.

Whenever your cwm is red then you dont have to disable lagfix at all for anything.

Thanks blazin. As for the previous responder, as i mentioned in the op, i'm having voodoo disabling issues like many other folks. All posted methods to disable fail.
Anyway, decided to start fresh so odin'd anyway, wiped the phone and so i'm now running 4.1 with no issues. We'll see if voodoo disabling issues persist with future cog updates.

Cog4.1 incoming calls from contact stored on Phone issue
I switched to cog4.1 and as of now all looks to work fine but i am seeing strange issue where incoming calls from any of my contact list (phone not SIM) which has all settings for ringtone/photo doesn't show up. It still just shows the name, number and default ringtone for the contact.
Any one seen the issue or there is some setting i am missing.
These are the steps i followed for creating a contact on phone not SIM.
1) Contacts>Add new contact>Add photo/ringtone(other then generic ring tone).
Appreciate any inputs on this one.
Yes its bases on the official release of At&T and samsung

Just use market...
search call record..
and try it yourself..
U'll find which one better!
try an app called total recall
If you find an app that can record both sides please post here.
I've tried a few of them but only the one app from market, that said is made for xperia, worked. And only on stock ROM.

I am still looking for it but so far I did not find anything
i also tried many but none of them worked perfectly. all recorders failed to record. the listening speaker voice. just records my voice. in stock 2.1 i didnt had this problem.

search on apktop,i think i saw it there the other day
I believe it's a ROM issue.
or perhaps kernel.
It worked with stock ROM and stock kernel, but it didn't work with custom ROM and stock kernel.
but even with stock kernel and stock ROM only one app (among all apps I tested) managed to record both sides with no problem.
What I want to say is, if we want to have working call recording, some of our great devs should have interest to make it possible in kernel/ROM building.
But this is not something a lot people use and call recording is forbidden in some countries (as I understood), so there is not a big interest to get it fixed.
I personally would like to have that option but I don't think I would use it if I had it.

[Q] Vivid with ICS and the Voice Dialer.

I am going to upgrade to Vivid from my Inspire 4G. But I just read that with ICS Voice Dialer no longer works and that is one thing on my Inspire 4g that I use the most. What I like to do is get the Vivid (only $49 from Att and it already comes with ICS) and root it to install the last version of GB that the Voice Dialer worked. I have been reading the crippled Voice Dialer thread and it seems that everybody is looking for a workaround to the problem but willing to live with the flaw just to have ICS. I don't really know the major difference between the GB and ICS but to me, it really isn't worth changing if I am going to lose the Voice Dialer. Has anyone else tried what I want to do? I have been reading the Vivid forum I can tell there is lot of difference how things are done to root this phone than my Inspire 4G. I would appreciate any input regarding this matter.
I happened to stumble upon a pretty good interim solution. It's called Voice Control. The free version is called Voice Control Test.
I have tried them all and this is the only one that comes close to working correctly without screwing up other Bluetooth devices.

I decided to go back to GB for this very same reason. ICS is nice and all, and, as a whole there are many changes and optimization's. But if you use sense, 3.5 is not that different from 3.6. Not only voice dialer does not work over bluetooth, there are also many apps that don't work or do not work correctly on 4.03.
After I went S-off on my phone I just decided to install an older version of android. I was afraid that the new Hboot would screw things up but I still tried it and everything seems to be working. I did have a little of an issue with the kernel so I flashed it twice, before and after installing the gingerbread rom.
Third Party Voice Dialer Apps
There is a extensive thread on this issue in the General section. This link takes you to page 4 where I discuss Cyberon Voice Commander. I had also tested Vlingo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562886&highlight=voice+dialer&page=4
At least one person tried to use a custom ROM with the voice dialer added back in. While there are differing opinions on what works best, I found Voice Commander with ICS to have the same functionality as the built-in voice dialer in Android 2.3.4. Look at the whole thread to see what others have to say.
See also this thread for another recommended app.

Cyberon Voice Commander made my BT functionality flakey.
However, I found Voice Control which works must better. I think the free version is called Voice Control Test.
Set the accuracy low and fast which is the 2 setting. Even at this low accuracy, it is really good.

One point we should make is that Bluetooth sets in vehicles and BT headsets can vary in their capabilities and ability to work with the Vivid (and other phones). While CVC works well for me, WillGill had more success with another product.
It may take some experimenting as WillGill and I did (and Vivid 2X also), but I believe you can find a product that will restore voice dialer capabilities without having to root your phone and install a custom ROM. Of course, Google should never have removed it, but that's another issue.
Just wanted to share my solution:
