Project VCABT - Voice Command Activation over Bluetooth

UPDATED 11/12/05
Just to clarify. This patch enables you to launch Voice Command (or any other app) by pressing your bluetooth headset button. It DOES NOT transfer sytem audio to the headset OR allow you to issues Voice commands via the headset. Its still a top peice of work tho ;-)
Some people also have an issue where the BT headset audio receiver will stay on indefinitely using up its battery unless you place a call or turn it off.
I dont get this issue. YMMV!

There is now a working patch to enable BT Audio streaming to STEREO BT headsets only.

Dear all.
There is now a working hack to allow voice dial activation from a bluetooth headset.
NOTES
1. This hack DOES NOT transfer system audio to the headset via bluetooth. That is still being worked on.
2. This hack only works on the HTC Magician.
To date it has worked on all Magician types including:
iMate Jam
Qtek S100 S110
MDA Compact
Orange M500
VPA Compact
XDA MINI
Instructions:
Download the zip and install the cab file to enable the hack. Thats it!
Note:
The cab file will place a copy of voicecmd.exe in /windows and rename it to Voice Signal Launcher.exe
If you use another voice activation program you will have to copy the .exe, put it in /windows and rename it to Voice Signal Launcher.exe
If you have any questions not covered here please ask them in the thread and somewill help

Original post below:
Hi,
I am making a new thread for all discussion related to getting voice command working over bluetooth, i.e you push the button on your headset and the Voice Command activates.
This functionality has been achieved on the Eten M500, which uses the M$ bluetooth stack
See
http://translate.google.com/transla...&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=/language_tools
Stack the Bluetooth implemented in the Eten M500 has been realized from the same Eten on the base of stack the Microsoft.
The society has enriched it, and this is now in a position to offering the following profiles: Service Discovery, Headset and Hands-free, Dial-up, Object Exchange, Generic Access, Serial Port and Gateway-audio.
This last one is of great importance, since beyond guaranteeing I listen of the sounds of system or the reproduced MP3 in cap (optional), allows the operation of the application Voice Commander (about which we will speak in the next page), concurring to directly command the device from a Bluetooth earpiece.
E' instead absent profile PAN (Person Network Area), that it would have allowed the device to approach Internet in presneza of points of Bluetooth access.

We need a dump of the Eten M500 rom, and then we need someone with more braincells than me ;-) to extract the Bluetooth stack....
Is this possible / doable?

Yess please!!! That's what we've been waiting for the whole time!!!

Let's make it work, ppl!
Did you notice if your JAM is in sleep mode pusing button on the headset actually wakes it up? At least, that what happenes with my Bluespoon AX, also it supports last number dialing by pressing volume buttom fro more that 2 sec. It prooves that JAM understands keypresses on the headset! Even on pre-production MPX unit it worked with MS stack!

Did the MPX have the M$ stack?
It may be easier to get a rom dump of that rather than the ETEN,
IIRC it was only the pre production MPX's that enabled VC over BT?
Does anyone here own a Pre ProMPX or an Eten 500?

There are many people on HowardForums that have both phones.
The hard part is to get them to do it.

i can hang up a call with my scala500 bluetooth headset, it just will not answer.....

From what I can see on this translated page, ETEN has a bit more advanced bt stack than JAM. I am not sure, if that is MS newer stack or ETEN's customized stack. Either way, I want it.

as far as I know.. the BT stack used by E-Ten 500 is made by the same company that made the device....
I hope we can get this to work.... :wink: it's very nice to have something more advanced the stupid M$ BT stack...

Hello guys.I have an .exe file that is a firmware upgrade for Eten P700 that probably have the same bt stak that M500,because it is using voice command 1.5 from Cyberon.
If any one want to try to play with that .exe i can upload it to somewhere.

Can you upload it please to XDA-DEV ftp site?

Cyberon's Voice Commander is different from Microsoft Voice Command. Can anyone confirm that it's Voice Command from Microsoft that even supports this feature at all?

I have a QTEK9090 but i think this happens in all models, so it could work on all models:
with the bluetooth headset ON, if you press ANSWER on the headset, if wakes the phone and you hear kind of a phoneline noise. I know the QTEK can't send/receive sound to/from bluetooth if its is not in a call (BT3900). What we have to try, is to build a program that accepts signal from the phoneline, like it would try to make a phone call so that bluetooth comunication is ON, and then listen to the micro to get the voice dialer message. Instead of trying to make the QTEK send/receive normal audio thruw BT, why not make a program that access the phone line to send/receive audio? the quality is not the same, but we could shurelly could voice dial at least.
I'm not a PPC programmer, but i've done some programs in other languages, so I have a programmer mind Hope this helps someone who knows how to program for this device.

Well,i mince stracting from the firmware that i allready uploaded.

Any news about extracting something from that file ???

Please Please Please Please can any developer who is willing to help with this head over to HoFo and this thread:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=655524
Where there are several ETEN 500 owners ready to help.
To reiterate, the plan is to find a way to dump the ETEN ROM, and then have a look and try to work out how they enriched the M$ BT stack to allow Voice Command to work over Bluetooth.
Many thanks.

Howto self activate BT on incoming call?

Hello!
I want to know if there is any solution to activate Bluetooth on incoming call and deactivate when finished.
Thanks for your reply

Pocket Bluetooth Tools or the latest beta of Pocket Zen Phone - both work.

I saw on this forum that pocket BT tools doesn't work. Because M$ stack
Or is there a new solution to make it work.

You didn't say your device.
Works fine on my XdaII (1.60 ROM with MS stack). Backup, try it, roll back if necessary. Or use PZP.

One would assume that since it's in the Magician forum, that's the device he was talking about. 8)

Erm... ah... well...
D'Oh!
What I meant was the OS/ROM version (by implication) but, yeah, it didn't quite make it, huh?

Does anyone know if pocket bluetooth work with xds iis? I tried to install it but oncall bluetooth activation didn't work.

Oh yes sorry.. my system is an SPV M500/Qtek S100/Magician My ROM is 1.12.02 FRE, Radio is 1.12.10, and no more EXTRom.
Some pople want to try with Bluesoleil BT Stack, but nobody is sure of this hack. What is PZP?
Thanks
Still not woking with Pocket Bluetooth tools.

PZP = Pocket Zen Phone. Search here in the xda-dev forums.

DKToday does this and is a wicked little app.

anyone use DKToday with xda iis?

Will WM5 fix BT voicedial w/ keylock?

Simple question... I'm intrigued with all the WM5 "upgrade" stuff but I really don't want to risk bricking the phone UNLESS i know WM5 can voicedial via a BT headset while keylock is *on*...
Has anyone who's done the upgrade confirm the behavior?
Thanks,

Actually, it disables it
I have a sony a Sony HBH-660 BT headset. the one with caller ID.
caller ID works but it doesnt show the names anymore; with the original ROM it would show the name.
So, no BT dialing at all.... or does it work for anyone else???
Still, upgrade is well, well worth it!
cheers,

it works perfect with hey lock, get a registry editpr, resco total cmd.
hklm/software/microsoft/voice command
change
Dword: respectKeyLock to 0 to use while phone locked and 1 not to

hmm I have no voice dial
wow! That was a fast reply...hehe.
I just checked my registry and well, found no voice dial entry at all. I guess my ROM version didnt have voice dial.
My device is an old ATT 5600, unlocked and upgraded to WM5 using roswens' package. An early version, 3.x I think.
Maybe voice dial comes with the latest versions? 4.0, 4.1... Or your phone is still on WM 2003?
later for now!

Hey cool!
Someone actually replied!
I guess I should've put in my hardware info: it's an audiovox SMT5600.
Justin, I checked the registry and couldn't find the voice command key. What phone do you have and did you upgrade to WM5?
Ooo.. I'm excited.. I can't wait to get over this stupid keylock issue...
Thanks,

I finally got my miniSD card and figured out the following:
0) I flashed my SMT5600 on Rogers to WM5
1) my SMT5600 does not have that voice command registry entry so the above hack doesn't work.
2) I tested with my bluetooth headset. and YES you can voicedial while the handset is keylocked!!!!!!!
w00t!!! I recommend everyone upgrade if they have the balls. WM5 is a bit slower, but the fact that all the PITA "features" that wm2k3 had are all corrected now.. I couldn't be happier.

Can some on please help as voice dialling is important part of my old wm5 as can’t use phone to dial while driving.

ipaq 914 -- is there a way to update the bluetooth driver?

hi all,
i have an IPAQ 914 and i have many issues with bluetooth:
1) no sound on bluetooth headset when i receive a call
2) no sound when i'm doing a call from headset
3) the 914 bluetooth disconnects automatically and i need to reenable it from the menu.
4) the audio of ipaq is redirect at maximun volume on headset if connected with A2DP feature, this causes a lot of noise and the voice command is distorced.
Now i have the Montecristo image and i have the same issue.
can anyone help me?
is there a way to upgrade the bluetooth stack/driver?
Best Regards,
Sold
