[APK] Bluetooth Launch v2.0.1 Beta (11/19/2010)

So this started in the Cognition thread, but I figure it probably is useful for other ROMs and people.
So are you like me? You've hooked up your bluetooth mic, and pressed the voice action button and your phone looks at you stupidly? Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way you could start Google Voice Actions or possibly Vlingo's Recognize and Execute?
Here's the thing, currently Google Voice Actions and Vlingo can't hear over the bluetooth mic. Still, this will launch the voice app, and allow you to speak through your phone's mic.
I've considered creating a version where you can select any app; however, unless there's some demand for a feature like that I don't want to go through that kind of pain and suffering.
Feedback is appreciated.
Oh and finally, this is a very early version, so you won't find it on the app market or such. If I have time, I'll polish it up, but for now, this is good enough to fix the issue for most people.
If you find this useful, please let me know. There's no reason to polish something no one needs/uses.

1.5 Beta
So this is a little rough around the edges but it is functional. The first load will be slow, but application names are cached after that load. Still need to indicate what the user has selected in the past as well as sort the list.
2.0 Beta
Fixed the rough edges, nice radio buttons in the list. Sorted alphabetically. Oh and TheYar suggested waking up the phone to run the action. Not only is it doing that, but it'll bypass the screen lock.
Now some are saying, but wait isn't that a bad thing? Well yes and no. First the screen lock comes back when the action is complete, or bluetooth launch closes. Second, bluetooth headsets must be paired first to get access, so a thief would have to know to grab your headset and phone to get into your phone. The risk is low but not 0, so in the next version, you'll have a way to turn that feature on or off.
2.0.1 Beta
As TheYar pointed out, there's a bug where you may have to hit the bluetooth button twice. This is a bug in the underlying framework and there's nothing my app can do about that. That said, I added a vibrate on launch feature to this new version. No other changes were made.
Change Log:
11/19/10: 2.0.1 Beta Vibrate on launch
11/18/10: 2.0 Beta Choices shown, remembered in the list, sorted alphabetically (so learn your ABC's) and phone wake, lock screen disable.
11/17/10: 1.5 Beta Select any activity, better icon
11/12/10: 1.1.1 Updated some text, added icon
11/11/10: 1.1 Added Settings and Vlingo
11/10/10: 1.0 Initial Revision

Reserved for OP

Sweet!
Unfortunately it doesn't do anything for me, running Cog 2.3.3. I've turned my headset on/off, BT on/off, no response to button.
Pressing "Confirm Selection" doesn't do anything either, should it?
Update - Rebooting makes it work, stupid me...THANKS!

Confirm selection saves the settings. I should change the name, thanks.
It shouldn't require a reboot, but there may have been something subtle going on that a reboot fixed.

Updated!
Added some polish. Launcher icon + text changes to make things more clear.

I think it would be handy if there was some text to confirm that the settings were set.

If I understand what you're asking for, I think the text at the bottom is just that. I'll see if I can re-word it to be more clear.

Coming Soon
So I had some time to play with things over the weekend, I'll be releasing a new versions soon.
Features will include:
Selecting the activity you want to launch
Better icon (not washed out)

This app works very well. You did a great job man.

Teaser
Got this working today, takes way too long to load right now, and only shows the names right now.

Hooray. I am happy to report that I can now use my BlueAnt T1 to control the Google Voice Commands. Awesome! Even though it passes the audio to the phone my headset still thinks my phone does not support it. But it works well enough for now till I can get an updated firware on my T1 headset.
I'm using Cognition.v2.2.Beta7.UCJI6 at the moment.

Beta Version Up
New version up, calling it beta because of the rough edges.
Enjoy!

Updated to the new 1.5 BETA. I switched back to my Plantronics Voyager 855 until I can update the firmware on my T1. The beta works. Thanks again for releasing this.

Wow this is great. I've been wanting to voice dial on my Captivate ever since I got it and this is the first time I've been able to do it.
I've noticed that often it doesn't respond until the second time I try to activate it. Maybe this is just a delay, not sure.
Any thoughts on how this could function when the screen is locked? Google voice actions are pretty powerful, so I doubt that full voice action functionality would be possible from a locked device. But maybe someone has some 2.2 source from another platform that includes how a call might be initiated over BT even when the screen is locked?
Thanks for this app. Loving it.

It appears to be a bug in the handling of bluetooth with the system, I can reproduce it without my app. Basically it appears that the system isn't releasing the bluetooth handle in a reasonable way, as my headphones that do bluetooth to both an iPod and a phone at the same time won't start playing again. I wish I could fix this.

This is a good idea. Look for it in a few minutes.

I just got done adding 1.5 to another DG ROM zip and decided to check here before flashing it. I'm am so psyched!!
Since you seem to be greased lightning on feedback and improvements, I'll throw another one out there - voice feedback into the headset speaker to let you know it is ready. I know that this functionality might better sit with the launched app (and sometimes does), but perhaps a configurable option to detect when the launched app has launched at least, and then react by saying "ready" or such in my ear. Then I'd care even less than I already do about the handle release problem with the bluetooth stack.
As for the lock screen bypass... yeah. I'm a security pro myself, but I agree that the risk there is low and acceptable, compared to the risk I face trying to security-unlock my screen while driving. Watch out though, people tend to freak out on this issue. The press went wild when the Droid opted for default Voice Action access through the lock screen, referring to it as a major security bug and design flaw. Of course, in that case it was accessible even without a headset, just a long-press of the search.
Let me know when this hits market and charge money for it, or at least offer a donation. Gladly pay. Considering this is the first time I've been able to accurately bluetooth dial since 6 years and three phones ago, you are officially a genius.

Your previous comment came in at just the right time to add an extra piece to the development cycle. The feature was easy, so I got it in. That said, playing through the bluetooth device appears to be a hard thing, I'll see what I can do about this. The easier thing to do, which I'm going to put in place soon, is to simply vibrate the phone, so that'll be the first step.

This is why I want the user to explicitly configure if they want this behavior. I'll look at adding a menu with settings. I want to get that done before I add in playing though the headset.

Actually, this is my first app, so I haven't paid the fee for developers to the app store. This is relatively simple, but I may put in a paypal link for development supplies. You know the standard: sex, drugs (beer), rock and roll.
I don't want to tip my hand for the other ideas I'm going to work on, but once this is mostly complete, I'm going to start on my next couple of apps, which I'm affectionately calling "Ring Rules" and "When I Get Home" right now. Those will likely have free and paid versions in the app store. (Assuming I get enough time to write them.)

Word, vibrate on launch. Dug. My handset is usually in a cradle or empty seat or sliding around the floorboard somewhere, so I might not get to use it much. But definitely a worthy X.X.1 enhancement. Looking forward to the other two apps you tease there; if my guesses are correct then they would both be of value to me.
On the lock-screen bypass: definitely, making it configurable would be preferable and snazzy. But on the old Windows Mobile Voice Command, this was configurable and disabled by default and it still got a good bit of bad feedback as a security bug. My 2 cents would be to make the setting work like the USB debugging setting in a stock ROM. Enabling it requires you to acknowledge a pop-up that warns and explains the risk. This might limit the number of armchair professional comments you get in the Market that are all caps and scream about how your app has security bugs and allows people to hack androids and steal all the datums and megahurtz off of them.

Hey thanks for this app, used voice dialing and commands all of the time on my Tilt with WinMo 6.0, only real downside of Android is not implementing this feature in an easy to use format IMO. I'm still figuring out vlingo but I can finally use my BlueAnt ST3 the way I used to, or almost anyway. Thanks again.

I started with yur earlier version that did Google Voice only, then the one that you could choose between GV and Vlingo.
Just installed latest version, and getting FCs.
I don't know if it is because I am selecting wrong COM item under (I've tried several under Vlingo, and get double vibrate, then FC each time) the app, or this application itself. But bringing up a long list of all the different components of various programs makes it immensely more difficult to get an operational program.
Going back to earlier version for now.
[EDIT]
I was able to get it to work with Google Voice, but never did with Vlingo.
I now realize that 3 vibes is normal. I'd prefer an option to turn that off.

Note 3 Pffft... Why? I have a Mega 6.3... and it works just fine

I got my Galaxy Gear (orange) today!
This post contains links to threads that I did not post. Give props to these guys as I have simply compiled everything that I have used so far to get my gear operational.
I have been looking forward to the note 3 for a long while. However, I was in the At&t stealership getting a sim card replaced and spotted the Galaxy Mega 6.3. This phone made my old note look like an iphone. So my impulsive manhood bought that monster screen attached to what actually is quite a snappy and decent phone. (after bloatware is removed)
Soon came the rub... the Mega is Samsung's red headed step child. There is little to absolutely NO support for this thing. You can't even download the firmware, much less root the At&t version. :crying:
Side loading apk's is the life saver for this device. Side Loading saved my Mega.
I am happy to report that the Gear is alive and syncing well with my device. I have been receiving notifications. S-VOICE WORKS. I've used the watch styler, However i am not able to see any new applications in the samsung market. Side load that stuff.
I personally pulled the gear manager apk off of an S4 that I have access to, but here is a link to the thread with the latest version.

EVERYTHING!...
...except:
Weather
S health requires install as a system app... so the pedometer can't sync to s health (the I527 still has not achieved root if any devs have a heart for big beautiful screened phablets?)
Installing apps through the samsung app store... although I can see them and download them I cant install them yet... mwuahaha... yet
Everything else works great so far.
I've rooted the watch.
Also silenced the camera but left the focus sound. I wanted to get rid of the stork sneeze sound from the shutter not be creepy.
I've side loaded and deleted temple run and candy crush just to say I did it. The results were impressive... I decided to keep gameboid on there... Pokemon fire red on my wrist you say? Uh... does it sound like I have a choice in the matter?
So I suspect, that even though the galaxy Mega is only running 4.2.2, it was released in between the S4 and the Note 3 and perhaps already has the needed libraries for notification?
Weather doesnt work... but again... the n3 weather widget requires root
apps wont install... but I am sure this is because I am using a note 3 apk
I took a leap of faith and I'm happy with my galaxy gear. I can't wait for full potential for this little gadget is realized.

How about reading texts on the watch and the weather?

Sorry I should clarify.
I posted within an hour of purchasing the gear.
Text notifications display full text.
Weather does not read location from.the phone. Possibly because I am running stock andy touchwiz 4.2.2 instead of 4.3 with full Bluetooth 4.0LE and the full expanded notification api in place.
All of the stock gear notification abilities seem to be working correctly.
I am curious to see what will work as new applications and updates roll in.
I haven't tested the samsung e-mail notifications, as I use the gmail app. I'm really thinking about switching just for the watch.
A very important note, one which I knew would be a possibility when I bought it... I CAN NOT SEE ANY GALAXY GEAR APPS IN THE SAMSUNG APP STORE
Perhaps I may find a way around that soon
Until then... this is still a bamf little watch no matter what anybody says

I actually switched to a note II running 4.4 KitKat in search of tethering... I have found little use for the gear manager after tethering... Tablet talk... And a few other tweaks I've made for personal use.

That's funny I came from the Note 2. So are you saying tethering doesn't work on the Mega?

Cause it has better hardware.
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Actually not sure about whether the mega has achieved tethering yet... The issue would lie with carrier provisioning.
I left the mega community about a week after root was accomplished.
I was caught between buying a note 2, note 3, or an HTC one.
My brother and I actually set up his HTC One quite perfectly. Null_12 is great... Tasker is a great solution and I intend to upload a bunch of profiles built specifically for our purposes in the next week.
Watch the Galaxy Gear forum for updates.
And grab 4.4 KitKat asap... It is amazazazing!

What to do about the not not working volte? Earlier even after june security patch volte with jio was working fine but ever since hmd released that server update, it's all messed up. Can't make calls at times and the data doesnt work most of the times. What should i do?

Dual sim dialer and hands free
Hi my previous dual sim phone had a dialer where you could key the phone number and press one of 2 dial out icons (one for sim1 and one for sim2).
Is an option like this available in the standard rom 7 plus ?
I have set the default dialing sim to sim1 so that hands free works as per my previous phone. Is this necessary for hands free ?

Anyone here from Korea? I cannot use VoLTE. Apparently, Nokia phones are not registered in the VoLTE here. Living in place that has the fastest internet and call connection, the 2018 phone becomes the bottleneck. Smh.
Does anyone know a workaround for problems like this?

Hi,
I've got two questions.
1. Is it possible to stop Google Play from adding new icons for every app installed in the default launcher? I don't want to change my launcher, hence my reason for asking.
2. Is it possible to have multiple variants of messengers in the phone, kind of a similar feature in S7 after Oreo update? I need one for my work Sim.

Yes, you just need to disable the Add Icon to Home Screen setting in the home settings - see screenshot.

No, no native dual messenger option in the Android One version. The China market software, on the other hand, does have this function (my wife has the Chinese version of the 7 plus).

Hi all,
just got mine. So far i like it. There are a few things that bother me though.
1: settings->storage->internal shared. At the bottom in system i have 13GB used. Why so much? I cant imagine that android 8 uses so much.
2: in developer settings i saw aptx, aptx HD and a lot more to chose from. But every time i select anything else then the default and exit dev options, it reverts back to default. Why that?
Im on 8.1.0.
Thanks!
PS: is there some PC software available for the new HMD Nokia lineup? I know in the past there were the Nokia PC suite and Ovi suite but i doubt they work with the new phones.

I have a really odd WiFi problem with my Nokia 7 plus. I had problems when I first set it up - I couldn't enter my Google credentials over WiFi. It would only work with a SIM inserted to use mobile data.
Since then it appears I can't browse, or use applications on the Nokia 7 Plus which use secure connections over my home WiFi - eg. Twitter, Amazon login etc.
No other devices (Mobile Phones, Laptops, Tablets/ Smart TVs) are affected by this problem using the same network, no special rules have been created for this host on my WiFi AP/Router.
And I don't get the problem on other WiFi networks - only the Nokia 7 Plus on my home Wifi. Anyone else experienced this or know what to do to fix it?

how to unlock the bootloader of nokia 7 plus ta-1062? the chinese variant of this phone doesn't allow me to use google pay

Hello,
Am rocking a Nokia 7 plus but it is now stuck in April security patch after downgrading from Android p beta 3 to Android Oreo 8.1.0 .Also checked manually in the system settings but still no luck.
Any help will be appreciated.

How is the build quality?
Hello
I have just bought this phone couple of days back and i am loving it so much so far.
I have not even touched its ceramic coated back yet and have just put the plastic cover as soon as i opened the box,
Is the ceramic coated rear and overall build is such fragile to spoil quickly ?
My mom's Moto G5 Plus still has decent quality back after an year of not very careful use.
So, what is your suggestion ?

Question Why so many good features have to be installed from Galaxy Store?

I just do not get it, there are so much good things in software but why for gods sake they have to be installed from galaxy labs? I have the phone for couple of months, just now discovered that we have something like sound assistant, keys cafe and many more. Why Samsung can't just add those features into the build?

Others are complaining Sammy puts in too much.... Now the choice is yours whether or not to install!

People complain about apps and the inability to remove them.
goodlock and stuff are just features in the sense some of them could just be implemented in the core features of the OS.
for example I just use Keys Cafe to remove the WWW option from the samsung keyboard as its annoying because it makes the space bar smaller and end up hitting the dot everytime.

That's my point, all of those features should be available in OS natively. Such a stupid thing, when we have submenu for lets say Keyboard and we have to install additional application to add just 4 options, same thing with sound. Full submenu, but things like Bluetooth delay etc must be added by additional application. It just doesn't make sense, even if they are "afraid" that some people may "brake" the phone, just add something like advanced options and put all of those features there, and they could be even turned on/off by flipping single button in options.

1. Power users dislike bloat and what you are wishing for will translate to bloat or unneeded features for people who do not use it or need it. TouchWiz all over again.
2. Apps used to be included into the ROM update which caused delays for bug fixes and new features being available to users so updates are faster via the app stores
3. You don't need to use the Galaxy Store if you don't want to. All Samsung apks are a search away on apkmirror.com. They can also auto update if you install their app

I ask why "Good Lock" is not available in my country?
Why only in USA?

Don't know what your country is, but Good Lock is available in Galaxy Store in Europe too, for sure in The Netherlands. Check Galaxy store not Play Store.

You do not get the point. Most of those functions should be built into ROM. Not as apps, even I didn't know that some of them exist...
Also blending them into rom will not make it sluggish, not sure where did you get this from but you are wrong

He is right.
You have the choice to install it if you want to.
For the ones who do not, they don't have anything to do.
It's better and easier this way around.
For example, the only add-on I use is One Hand Operation, so I'm not gonna be glad if I find 200 other options and don't know how to turn them off.

I have to install all of them and now what? Many people do not even know that such things exist. Still not understound how lack of function can be better, even if they add them you still can use only the ones you want...

That's a lot of functionalities that could be bugged, use resources, be turned on... etc...
This is not a lack if you can install them.
I understand your point but you have to understand that Samsung's are designed for everyone, not power users.
Those people do not want options, they just want a working phone out of the box. They can be lost if they have too many thing to understand.
So if you want more, you can, that's all you need to know.

Wellness for me your arguments make 0 sense as you miss one basic thing which I mentioned twierdzi. People do not know that such things exist! Also thats why we have Beta tests so they can fix bugs. But nice 1200usd Phone and we must install additional functions form the stare, where we do not even know ghat they exist. On top of that, 90% of those functions existed 10 years ago in Cyanogenmod mod made by amateurs during free time...

Once again, I don't know why you are complaining.
You know that they exist, so install every module you want and that's it.
You want a system where everything is already there, but maybe some are not okay with that.

1. I am complaining as those options should be melt into system by default, there is nothing preventing them from doing it.
2. I know NOW, but terenie was no info anywhere that such options can be added so plenty of people do not know about them.
3. I would like to know why they do not want them by default. Lets say I do not want AoD build info rom. Can we have it removed and have it available as app in galaxy stare? Seriously think, if you have an option YOU DO NOT have to use it, so how someone might say "I do not want to have optional thing in my phone", what a strange logic or lack of it.

It's probably to reduce space as not everyone is going to use all the goodlock modules. If they were built into the system users would be angry at the fact they are taking up storage and resources when it's much better to have the goodlock app and choose what you want.

100mb more when phones have 128GB+ and Rom itself is 4gb? There are so many bloatware apps which cannot be uninstalled and you think it is to save the space lol? Heh that make so much sense.

Exactly, there's already so many bloatware apps so why add more by adding goodlock and all its modules.

But they would not be an bloatware but rather system functions. I się noone complain a about and, Dolby etc

What if Samsung would put a list of those apps with a short description both in the User manual and one app on the desktop to control installing the extras.

Question Delayed Typing After Update

Just accepted the latest update on my S21 Ultra and noticed straight away that there is a delay on typing. Usually if I open messaging app I can tap the text box and start typing instantly. Now there's a few seconds delay so it misses off the first word or so. It's very annoying.
Happens in any app eg Messages, WhatsApp etc.
Tried Gboard which is my usual but also tested and it's the same on Asking keyboard. It's driving me mad!

Clear system cache

Clearing cache hasn't worked. Genuinely think it's a bug with the latest update I got. Started after that and it's the only thing that's changed.

Don't see such a problem on my device...but I can't really relate to your problem literally. Do you have a video showing the lag?

It's not really obvious that I'm tapping but I press the buttons as soon as the keyboard appears.

That's horrific and it would drive me mad very quickly.
Feels like the keyboard is connecting to a service. Have you gone down the list of disabling all advanced features, like GIF/emoji integration, then enabling each one one at a time?

Try in safe mode.

Your phone is probably recalibrating. Suffer for another day or 2 and it will likely go away.

Really don't see it in my device. Have you tried another keyboard. I'm on SwiftKey and don't have this issue.

The Samsung keyboard is one of the best, so much so many prefer it. I've been using the same Samsung keyboard layout for almost 8 years. One of the few things Samsung hasn't screwed up, but they are on a roll
This delay glitch is unacceptable... drop the ball Sammy.

Am I missing an update or so? I don't see this delay...hmm

It may only adversely effect certain production batches. Update roulette...

It could well be due to messaging app iso the keyboard.
It seems the messaging app may be waiting for voice input.
See SS of OP's screen video, and the circled icon...

Good point. Intelligent phones aren't that intelligent and many of those features rely on internet connection to process the raw voice inputs. Not sure if this is one but it likely is.
I disable voice to text, always... and little Bixby too

I've factory reset. Gone through the pain of installing all my apps and it's still the same.
Very good points regarding services I think I'll try and disable anything voice related as I don't use that!

Ok disabled the voice stuff I could find and it's still doing it. Driving me friggin mad!!

Clear system cache. Hard reboot.
Device Care>Battery, make sure ALL power management is disabled, except display setting which should be optimized or higher.
If still doing it Device Care>memory, clear the cache, now use the keyboard and immediately go back to memory and see what was added. Those are potential seauspects.

I'll add to blackhawk's instructions - kill your data & wifi then reboot and try again (with the data & wifi still off). So often when a computer has these little lags, it's data connection related - like something is phoning home or phoning out. I'm getting that gut feeling with this one too.

Add a network reset to the list and a carrier network reset.
I never liked voice commands; when you're out of the streets, driving, walking, jogging, whatever... the phone needs to disappear.
It's a liability, not asset. You need to be paying attention to your surroundings not matter how boring or inconvenient it seems.
Bad things happen fast, you need to be ready... not jerking off with the phone.
Even when talking, you are being distracted. The man with no name knew that...

Check your Access point settings too.
On my AT&T NXTGENPHONE profile I found that instead of "hipri" (high priority) it had "fota" (Firmware Over-The-Air) which I don't want.
So I created a new profile and tested it. Instant download speed increase it seems... still testing.
APN type default,mms,supl,hipri
My original profile was set as IPv4/IPv6, which I used on my new profile instead of the AT&T suggested IPv4 only.
APN protocol IPv4
If you do this create a new profile with a different name so you can retain your original one too.
Don't forget to fill in any relevant spaces on the new and leave the blank ones blank unless you know better.
AT&T APN Info
For other carriers you'll need to up their APN specs.
