Does anyone know how to replace the Motorola voice search with the Froyo 2.2 Google default voice search. I used the Google one on my nexus one and it is much, much better than the Motorola version.
Thanks for any help.
Do you mean the double tap home button action?
If so, go to Settings > Application Settings > Double tap home launch
Then scroll down to Voice Search
No, I mean when you have a bluetooth headset on and press the button it launches the Moto voice app. I'd like it to launch the google voice command program.

I dont' think voice search works over bluetooth anyway.

It works fine with 2.2. Actually I believe the Moto version worked with 2.1. It's just slow and not as accurate as the 2.2 built in google version.
There seems to be no way to change the default voice choice. I've thought about deleting the moto voice to see if I could then use the google but haven't yet.
I believe the Nexus One/Droid has an additional APK that allows this. VoiceDial or something like that.
I'd rather use the google one instead of the slow, limited Nuance Motorola version.

No, the Nexus One brings up the same voice search application that you can get from the market and launch manually. It's just set up so that it also launches when you hit your bluetooth button. Seems like there should be some way of changing which program is default for voice search.
OK... I think there is mucho confusion about programs here.
Voice Command = program from Nuance. This currently launches when you long press the dial button on the bluetooth headset. It DOES support input from the Bluetooth headset. This program has a limited/specific command set.
Voice Search - the default Android program. Can be activated by Long pressing the search button (hardware key). It was updated in the 2.2 release (I think you can also download the latest version via market). It DOES NOT support input from bluetooth. This too has a limited command set, but anything outside of it's commands will be launched as a web search.
I think what we are after here is for 'Voice Search' to be the default app launched when Long-Press Bluetooth is issued.
My point was that Voice Search doesn't support BT input. But I wish it did.

Once again, In 2.2 the "Voice Search" app by Google works with bluetooth. I have it currently working on my nexus one. Please see http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html#PlatformTechnologies
All I'm trying to figure out is when I long press the bluetooth button on my headset that it launch Google's "Voice Search" application versus Motorola's built in Voice Search application.

@gchglobal How does Voice Search work w/ Bluetooth? You mean you can push the the Voice Search on the phone and then speak into your Bluetooth?
If so, are you sure your phone isn't just picking up your voice?
The Google Now voice assistant sounds so much better then the awful default voice used in the Play Books app. I've never actually used the 'Read books aloud' and was annoyed the first few months of using the app that it was turned on by default. But if the much cleaner voice assistant voice was available I might try it out.
I moved from Iphone this spring. I am using MDOB now. Samsung Svoice never seems to get my voice commands right; can't find the right contact and totally gets my music voice commands wrong. For example, always thinks I'm asking for "back" when I say "beck"-- the only thing in my library.
Siri was an order of magnitude better at all this. Google is better at general voice recognition, but doesn't work with AT&T/Samsung. I tried and get a google dialer popup and it won't control the Samsung music app.
Should I go to Google Edition? Will Google correctly work over bluetooth headset for music and calls? Is it more accurate than Svoice?
Help!

When you refer to "Google is better at general voice recognition, but doesn't work with AT&T/Samsung.", what specifically are you referring to? I use Google Now and it's voice recognition and it works perfectly fine for me? Google Now is integrated in the new Google app. You can also access it from holding the menu haptic button.
Google Now does not control anything. Does not control music, texting, etc. on a Samsung/ATT device.
So my question, and I guess this is the wrong place to ask it since nobody seems to know here, is will AOSP or plain vanilla google ROMs do as good a job as Siri at controlling music via bluetooth headphones, texting, etc. etc.?
[WorkAround FIX] Loud! Prompt from Google (Voice) Search & Dialing over Bluetooth.
I have a Maxx, 444 & this no longer responds to the BT activation button.
This works on 444: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/dragon-mobile-assistant-alternative-to-t2857730
I got an X DE & now on Eclipse ROM there is consistent volume!
Disable Google Search from settings>app>all apps.
Install the attached apk. You must launch it one time to get it to listen your headset.
I use a Jawbone ERA 'streak 2 (the tiny one).
So much for the full set of Voice controlled accoutrements.
Seems no more soak tests are done by Motorola/Google.
Does Mo-'toro-la browse XDA?
Uhh isn't this the same as installing the "Voice Search" APK from the Play store?
What functionality do we lose by using this instead of Google Search?
Would you rather lose additional features or deal with a lower BT volume?

I have no choice, the BT tone is that loud. But I have not had the time to determine the losses. I guess I have voice dialing only.
Others on voice search jump in!
Edit yes play version of moto is same.
It used to work, but not since I have google installed with voice detection.
I have searched around the internet for reasons why, and made sure I have svoice apk installed.
I have switched off google with voice detection but still the camera voice commands will not register.
thanks for the help
Have you tried installing Google search to see if Camera voice functions return? For me Google voice can cause various issues with the functionality of my phone, depending on their updates. Personally I always such with the version that comes with my firmware because I suffer issues with their latest builds. Google just don't seem to test backwards compatibility.
