"Linda" robotic voice from Voodoo

For those (like me) who want to use "Linda" to tell us other things (like texts, missed calls, etc) this is where he got it from.

Select "Linda" for the voice and "Old Robot" for effect.

Thanks I was totally just looking for this!

Cool stuff,
How can we get this implement in our vibrants to sepak up texts, missed calls, etc ?
Thank you.

Yea that would be pretty cool
Killing Zombies with my Voodoo Vibrant!

So how can we use these voices on the vibrant, do we just dl the linux version and place it somewhere in the system folder?

Create your file and put it on your SD card media/audio/notifications
Then open the messaging app go to settings, notification settings, select ringtone
For Handcent or similar do the same thing.
That's all

Will try when I get home,
Thank you very much.

Great find
This great !!
Thank you ...I been looking for something like this ..
I have a few idea for it ...

This works great!!!! You have to make sure when you preview the voice you hear exactly what you typed. If you hear the ad for you to purchase the program just replay the voice until you only hear what you typed. Then export to desktop. I downloaded a free wav to mp3 converter to convert the wavs to mp3 and ogg.
I used ringdroid to save the mp3's to the proper folders on the phone. My new notifications are:
Gmail "Jimmy, you have mail"
Hotmail "Jimmy, you have hot mail"
Message/sms "Jimmy, you have a message"
Voicemail "Jimmy, you have a voicemail"
Shutdown "Good bye Jimmy, Shut down will begin in five, four, three, two, one, shut down process is complete. Have a nice day"
Here is the link to the free converter. Works very well.

If you are creating a long shutdown message you can trick the program if you do not use periods. Instead, use a comma so the program will not insert an add in between.
Here is an example of a shutdown sound I made.

Sounds sweet, ill use it.

First you will need to download the wav to mp3 converted that I posted in my reply above. After you convert it to a .mp3 you can name it whatever you like. Put the new ringtone on the root of your phone. You can make a new folder called "ringtones" if you like. Now your phone will be able to use that new sound as a notification sound or a ringtone.

Bootup sound is PowerOn.wav in system/etc shutdown is shutdown.ogg in the system/media/audio/ui

[Q] Custom SMS Sounds or Length?

Is there any way to create custom SMS notification sounds or length?
This was my number one complaint with the iPhone and looks like to be the same way on the Atrix.

There are any number of ringtone making apps in the market, just search for Ringtone Maker.
If you mean be more selective and pick ringtones for each user and the like, there is an app called Ringo Pro or the like that lets you set custom ringtones, notification noises and even LED colors for different people.

Thank you!

I use ring extended to be able to select any audio file on the sd card and ringdroid to edit length or use only certain parts of those audio files, ex.. the course of the song.

Or just drop any mp3 you want to use as a notification sound (SMS) into sdcard/media/audio/notifications
They'll show up in the list and work perfectly.

LightFlow - LED Control
works well and very customizable

Is there a way to change the ringtone for the received sms but only from one specific contact?

You can in Handcent SMS. Click on a message thread and in the top right corner you can edit that contact's settings.

Thank you...was trying to figure it out!

Yea.... that's my favorite thing about the Atrix, or Android for that matter, among MANY favorites about the Atrix/Android. You don't need to be running a version of iOS that's currently jailbreakable.... use iPhone Explorer or a similar program to hunt around the core system files of the phone to figure out exactly what M4A file is the sound you're looking to replace.... then find the sound you want to replace that one, and make sure it's in M4A format and trimmed down enough that the iPhone will recognize it for some stupid freakin reason, just to get it to work. And then if you update iOS again... you gotta do the whole thing all over. And then Apple pulls a **** move and releases SMS tones that go on FOREVER! WTF Apple.... make up your mind!
But yea.... SOOOOO glad i got away from that boat.

Silly sounds problem

Hey everyone im using zedge and trying to assign a notification tone but when i recieve texts it plays the normal tone any one know what im dooing wrong cheerd

are you using the default sms app? I had this when i got my first android phone. Way round it was to disable the notification within the default app & then go into prefs of the new sms app.
Hope this helps.... if you already know this then i'm out of ideas :S

This. You have to disable the first app or you'll get either two notifications or just the standard SMS one.

Thanks guys got it working

[Q] two features missing from gs4 the gs3 had! any way to get them back?

first, i noticed something that was really important to me and that was that you cant copy past a part of an sms like you could with the gs3.
it sucks because it was something i always bragged about to iphone users who had to copy the entire sms. if you guys have any ideas on how to be able to just copy a part of the texts like a home address and stuff.
second, all share control isnt working anymore which i understand considering theyre pushing watchon, however watch on doesnt have a track pad feature that can control the mouse on the samsung tv that you need when browsing the web.
is there any other app that has that feature or an add-on for watch on that would add that feature?
thanks for the help

no one know?
does no one know of any substitutes for these features?

I use goSMS and you can only copy entire message too. Know it doesn't help but might save you from trying it.

you can use an ugly hack to copy parts of messages - tap and hold the message, pick "forward", then use the normal selection controls to select and copy the parts of text you want.

Is there any way to make notification sounds louder on stock ROM?

Hi I've only had my nexus 4 for a few days and I love it. The only problem I have is that I struggle to hear SMS messages. The phone is very loud for calls but not for messages. Is there an app or setting that I can change to fix this? I'm on stock ROM atm.
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to be rooted to increase volume levels with a mod bro. You might look here if this helps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liquidsoft.entertainment.volume.booster&hl=nl.

Another non root way is to download louder notification sounds and have a file manager app. To change sound go to sound in settings and use the file manger app just once in the pop up and find the notification sound you downloaded in the download folder of your SD partition.

Hi guys thanks for the replies. I've found an app that let's you browse tones and then set them from within the app. For anyone interested its called ZEDGE and is available on the play store.
