Can anyone tell me a good gingerbread rom where the voice recognition Works right? Every newer version roms I have tried, the voice recognition does not work good at all. I was running an old Mik rom And it worked good, but I want to go to a gingerbread rom.
Mine has worked on every ROM....
Mine is not working currently, was already having issues on stock GB, well atleast since the update.

Use Vlingo....that app is flawless, and you can do literally almost anything on it. Plus it's free.
U have to download voice search from the market. That's what I did miui rom.

Voice search was is already installed on most of the ROMs I used, and it was updated by me if it needed to be. Im talking about when I open up my key board to send a text, I would use several different keyboards that have the mic and it never would work properly. Sometimes it would work OK, but most of the time it was horrible. I noticed that all gingerbread ROMs I use also do this. I went back to MikFroYo v4.61 and it works perfect. I was just wondering if any of you guys using a newer gingerbread could suggest one that you are currently using where the voice to text works good on the keyboards.
Vlingo is pretty good, but it constantly runs in the background.

The MikG rom by aamikam version 2.51 has the new updated voice updates from the latest OTA. Since I downloaded it my voice search has worked even in my noisy truck.

Works perfectly on my vibrant and my old mytouch. I guess it depends on which device you use

I am having the same problem. If someone can please help us on this then I would really appreciate it. Thanks
I had the same problem with that app after upgrading to any build that uses thew newer ppp networking protocol . My guess is it has to do with the instability of current ppp implementations. The only way I could get that app to work was to use the RMNet version of the ROM.
Thanks man
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Having the same problem on Shubcraft 1.5. I have H connection with full signal. First the app says getting account status, then connecting to account, then communication error. Definitely a bug in the app code.
I had problems with it as well
...sign up for a youmail account at www.youmail.com they also have a visual voicemail app in the market...there are a lot of cool features with youmail like custom greetings for individual contacts, the ability to prevent certain numbers from leaving a voicemail and quite a few others.
Same here. And happened when I switched to PPP as well. :/
it worked on a darkstone froyo non sense build for me.
doesnt work on a CM6 based build however, same as above.
I just installed TMO Visual Voicemail on HyperDroid. It uses a Cyanogen mod and RMNET. It worked fine and rather quickly.
Going to try the EVO kernels (which are PPP) on this build and see if it works.
Anyone have an update on this?
Or an alternate app to use with T-Mobile's voicemail? (I don't want a voicemail replacement, like YouMail. Thanks for those who are thinking of suggesting it.)

Where did you find the app? I tried the marketplace but only third party ones show up.
There was an updated one up until about 2 weeks ago. Now it's gone. :/
I found it here, after a Google search.
It was actually linked from T-Mobile forums, people were complaining there as well.
To anyone here who is using this. Does it still work? From what I've read Tmobile is having problems with their visual voicemail.
I am using it currently and have for weeks now with no real issues (the latest build with the new frontend that was pulled from the Market).
There are some non-obtrusive bugs: voicemail icon does not disappear, occasionally old voicemails are not deleted, and a few others.
My biggest non-issue is the incredibly low volume though.

I have not been able to get this to work in over a week now. I thought it was because I changed builds. Nice to know it's a T-Mobile issue.
It actually works for me. Windows version is still a no go, however the latest android version is OK.

This must be a joke.
Navigation in maps 5.0.0 is broken. It is "checking for navigation availability" constantly.
The only fix seems to be uninstalling the Maps update in Market Place, which is also broken as of the 2.7.7 update. It FCs on anything.
Many people are relying on Navigation to get around this holiday. Both signature apps are broken.
Not broken I had the same issue you have to open gmaps before navigation will work. Hope it helps

Not broken..
I have Vending_2.2.7.apk (Market), and Maps 5.0.0.
And work flawlessly ever since a manual software update.
Depends also the kernal or rom you use. Maybe i dont know... i updated to Netarchy 4.2.1 and everything works on my Evo HD rom...

That worked for me! I did a bit of research and was lead to believe that the Navigation was a widespread problem for which the only solution was deleting the file data or rolling back the update, neither of worked for me. Thanks for the tip!

I can't rule out the rom being the problem. I'm using Fresh 3.5.0.1. My research lead me to believe the problem is widespread among Evo devices. I'll check back in the thread for Fresh to see if they have come up with a solution yet.
Glad I could help I had just flashed to cm6 and had that issue just glad I was able to spread the little bit of knowledge I have.

Sometimes when i started the Navi, it would force quit. Got to work a couple times, but i think the update screwed it up. Using the Sprint Lovers ROM.

i revisited the instructions for the Fresh 3.5.0.1, followed the notes for the Market FC problem and fixed the problem!
i got caught up in the discussion on the thread, thinking that the first post wasn't state of the art. i was wrong.
moral of the day: try the instructions before doubting.
Ive had problems regarding installing apks and flashing things.. thats why im always reading various posts regarding the same exaxt instructions..
The 2.2.7 market apk was leaked before the update, so i downloaded it and used Astro to Upgrade the market..

For me it has, qik is a piece of ish, on all the cm7's I've had nothing but bad luck it might not be gingerbread compatible yet(it only worked on sense for me). Try tango its better and it just works. This is the only video chat app that I use. I've heard success with the yahoo video chat but never tried it.

I was video chatting on QIK last night with my cousin and the front facing camera works just fine. I don't know if you've try CM7 but I wouldn't go on an issue that was reported in mid February....Cyanogen updates regularly and although there's bugs still to be fix, is way better then the sense roms running around here.....just my personal opinion!
Within the last 2 days someone posted a compatable version for CM7.
Here you go from my dropbox.

Doesn't work. Once you install and run on an Evo, it forces an update to the Qik version from the market and that one is broken (FFC sends upside-down video).
So after using Cyanogen 6 & 7 here's a little review on what video chat apps work on froyo CM6 and Gingerbread CM7. I figured this would save some of you some time
Qik - works great on CM6 but it force closes on CM7. Video quality is good and audio is ok good enough to do the job
Tango - works great on CM7 with a mod where you can use front and back cameras. But on CM6 it only detects the back camera. Video quality is good but audio not so good
Fring - works on CM7 with out any mods but the video and audio quality is not so good. On CM6 it only detects the back camera.
Oovoo - is the new kid on the block working great both audio and video on CM6. I didn't test it on CM7 so if someone does let me know this app and Qik is the reason why I went back to CM6 from CM7.
I've tried them all too but unfortunately the battery drain from the apps is really poor... I just uninstalled and will reinstall when a friend wants to video chat.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Battery life on cm6 is really good even with the video chat apps
Tango is still upside down for me on FFC using CM7. Changing manufacturer to Samsung in build.prop didn't fix it . Image is right side up using the back camera.
What about Yahoo? It's apparently the only one that works from phone to PC. Can anyone confirm on our devices?

Tango works great for my girl and I using the older version. The updated version has us looking at each other upside down. So if anyone having that problem just revert back to the older version.
Qik I have not tried since I flashed cm. I heard its working on the latest nightly build but have not tried it. I never liked the quality when I used to use it on the stock rom anyways.
Yahoo video chat still gotta be the best though. Video and sound quality are best. Better than qik and tango. And it does not work only from pc to device, it also works from device to device.

the Gingerbread ROMs are the only ones with goofy FFC working with Applications. All FroYo based ROMs should work fairly well. The app developers have no upped their apps to work with Ext4 style ROMs. It has nothing to do with the developers of the ROMs, but has everything to do with the App Developers.

Yes you're right. Is my bad I should've specified that. I meant in general yahoo is best when it comes to video calling. But is the reason I use tango now, because nothing else works properly.

However, if you are running froyo, it only supports the rear camera (which is totally retarded). They try to make it sounds like the rear camera thing is a froyo limitation, yet the front camera works just fine on Tango.
Tried it on EG22 and it works very nicely using the front camera, and the camera is correctly oriented as well.
Works for me on EG22. Skype finally is doing something right lol
I tried it on EC05, and it didn't work. I went to the options to enable video chat, and it told me that I needed to re-install Skype. I did so (twice) and it was disabled again. Not sure what is happening.
The rear camera thing is unbelievable.
It appears this is app-wise one of the few reasons to want GB. Too bad Skype has the rep for being a POS no matter what they do to it.
Can't get it to work on randomrom eg22

Where is your skype installed? I got this for a themed Google plus. And if you're using the hacked Skype it won't update with the official one. You'll have to uninstall it.

Running great on Random Rom Osprey. I was at work the other day and skyped with my wife on the laptop. The video even looked pretty good on 3g, no drops or skips. I was pleasently suprised.
I haven't used this cause I use the hacked version, but the hacked version works flawlessly for me and my wife (both EG22), unlike that POS tango.

You can get front camera working with ec05 if you use the hack version of Skype found in the i9000 Apps and theme thread. Although the front camera orientation is off
