Read Out of Text Messages

So I had my bionic in my car mount and received a text message. The phone then preceded to read it to me.
I haven't seen this anywhere but is there a way to gain this functionality when walking around?

Settings text to speech and accessibility should help and handcent sms allows only text message readout on the press of a button if memory serves

I kind of wish I could disable this feature.
It kind of got me in trouble one day

I can imagine....

I went through the settings and there isn't anything there to configure when its available.
The Casio G-Zone Commando has a "read out" app that will read any unread messages when you press the app icon. I have looked for the app but can't find it. If I'm able to find a Commando ROM ans extract the apk, do you thing it would work? Hmm, I guess I know my evening.
I have never liked things like handsent or third party apps that do what I already have a core app to do. It just seems like bloat

I agree but they work well as a temp fix until you find the solution

I think this would be a pretty cool thing if I could get it to work.
It didn't take me long to find a commando system dump, but a couple of hours later I am no closer to finding the apk.
I would GREATLY appreciate any help. On the commando there is an app called "read out" and it has the same icon as the text messaging app. If you touch the icon it will read your unread messages to you.
I figure (total guess) that it is interfacing with the picotts.apk like the bionic does in car mode. The bionic has the picotts.apk already, so I want to try installing the read out thing to see of it works.
Does anyone know what the read out apk is named? Or if this would work?

Give me a link to what you are working with and I will take a look, but I am no dev so no promises
Also this seems to work well https://market.android.com/details?id=de.exesmobile.messagereader

I saw there were a couple of apps, what I liked about this was it's almost more of a widget. Nothing opens you touch it and it reads. The down side to an app is if I have to open an app to use it I might at well read the message myself.
I appreciate the help. I know I probably sound like an idiot

So I was able to check out a Commando and the "read out" is a 1x1 widget, not an app. The commando is the only phone I have seen this on.
Is there a chance that the pico apk is different on the commando and has that widget? If so can I install that version and have it work?
I like the widget because I don't want every message read out. I don't see the point in a seperate messaging app, because I could just open and read the message. But the widget I could find useful if I'm on Bluetooth or busy with something and don't want to stop and read. Just tap the screen and continue doing what I'm doing!

Unfortunetely commando forums are few are far between and not a lot of help.

Looks like that ROM is froyo based so I'm going to say probably not

Sucks. Any devs got some free time, and want to work on something a little unique?
So you think that's it, its a different Pico apk?

Check out VLingo in the Market. It has a setting that will read your SMS messages for you. There is even a handy widget to turn it on and off.

I like Car Dock Home v3 for full customizing and use Tasker for everything. It would be trivial to create a task that says to read an incoming text out loud based on docking status or location or time or whatever, and even automatically respond.

Sound Profiles?

I am looking for a way to turn notifications off automatically during night hours on stock ROM.
Is there any option in Sense 5?
Looking for not installing other apps. I've purchased Sound Profiles in the past for earlier phones, but with AOSP etc I stopped using other apps and was looking for inbuilt options in the ROM.

I haven't seen an option, but I didn't look to thoroughly. I use Tasker to accomplish that.

I know I could use multiple additional things...
HTC - if yo aure listening, this should be a must..

I was told by HTC to tell them about your suggestions here. Make noise on things and features you want. I submitted this very same idea... I'm with you. The more they hear about it, the better our chances:

NFC tags for the win.

Yeah there are many fancier routes with each it's merits but I was hoping to get an out of the box feature like CynogenMod

You need to be using null_ as it has files required to get it to work

I haven't read the linked articles, but I've been playing in this space the last few days as well. I could go into a long explanation here, but essentially I love the Gear hardware, but the flexibility of the Pebble software. If the two worlds merge, I'll be very happy.
So far in my limited testing, I have Tasker on the phone sending messages over bluetooth via AutoRemote. On the gear there is a Tasker profile for a AutoRemote message that displays it and vibrates. I have places I would like this to go with something almost a message protocol.
I'll be following this closely and will happily contribute anything back that I come up with.

[Q] Trigger phone apps from watch?

Sorry if this has been asked or answered before. I've googled and searched XDA with no luck. I may just not know the terms to use.
I'm wondering if there's any way to start apps or shortcuts on the phone from the watch? Has anyone been able to do this?

i haven't found a way, but do you mind sharing with us what are you trying to achieve?

I'd like to be able to trigger tasker tasks that control music around the house, trigger playlists, use Google voice search on the phone from the watch etc. I also have lots of contextual triggers set up on my phone that would be interesting to respond to on the watch.

Are you using tasker? You can start phone tasker tasks (which I guess can simply be apps as well) from the watch that way?

I am using tasker on the phone yes. How would I do that?

You need the plugin Autoremote (full version, not the lite) There's a thread on how to use it. Search for Autoremote.

Looking for this watchface on Android

Hi
I've had my pebble smartwatch for a at least 4 months now and I like it. I recently updated to V2.0 and everything looked good. My only gripe was that there was no way to display the watch battery status until now. I was today browsing for some new watchfaces and I came across this:
http://www.mypebblefaces.com/apps/852/7111/
I know it works only with iOS devices. I have the "Glance" app on my android phone and like it, but I would appreciate if someone knows of a way to get this particular watchface using "Glance" (or any other method).
I'm also open to other similar watchfaces that display both the pebble battery status and my phone battery status.
Help appreciated.. Thanks
Max

You can try creating your own Glance customization. You need to pay for that (premium) but you could end with something similar to that. I don't see why you need to know the battery at all times, just press the mid button on Glance and you'll have the battery on the top-right corner...

That is easily made using canvas, most likely somebody has made one you modify to suit your needs
