Galaxy S4, i9505 in China (google blocked unless on a vpn)
For some reason I cannot get Voice Typing and Skype/WhatsApp to work together. It seems to be one or the other. If Voice Typing is working then Skype/WA cannot hear the microphone.
I have now tried three 5.1.1 Roms with various (Banks, Open, Slim) gapps and none of them seem to work. All the ROMS are great (Dirty Unicorns, CM 12.1 Optimized etc.) but voice typing and Skype seem imcompatible.
I am guessing that it is a Google thing since many changes are coming for Marshmallow. Can anyone help or at least confirm the issue?

SOLVED: Clean reinstall with Dirty Unicorns 5.1.1 and Banks Gapps. Don't install Google Keyboard. Google is changing so many things at the moment that it makes many features less stable.

I've been running the Fresh Evo 4.0 Beta for a few weeks. I like it. But I've found the Google Voice Search does not work. The application opens but does not pick up any audio. It's not possible to uninstall and reinstall since it's part of the actual rom.
Any ideas how to resolve/fix? Anyone else encountered the same issue?

Google Voice Search is in the market, you should be able to uninstall and reinstall it from the there.
Also, I learned a couple months ago that removing the stock browser breaks voice search, fyi

Never an issue here.
The Sprint Gingerbread Beta & ROMs based off of it, have the voice features borked.
So I had my Nexus 4 about 2+ months now (bought straight from Google) and just a few days ago I decided to root and install custom kernel and rom. Installed the Illusion ROM 2.0 and the Air Kernel. I also installed Slim Gapps (Slim_Gapps.4.2.2.build.6.x.zip) to get my Google apps because they are not included in the Illusion ROM. Everything is great except for the navigation voice. I used to have a woman's voice who said words clearly and sounded almost humanlike...or something close to it when speaking directions. Now I have this computer-generated woman voice which sounds crappy compared to what I had before.
How do I get the original voice back? I noticed in my text-to-speech settings that I have something called PicoTTS. Am I missing something like google related? Please help me find her
anyone?
Anyone? I did a proper search but couldn't find a concrete answer. Please help.
You should install the full google apps,or use Ivona text to speech from play store
Still want the original

Yeah I know Ivona exists. It's just that I was satisfied with the original voice provided with the Nexus 4. In fact, I really liked it I never thought that was an addon before flashing to a custom rom.
So you're saying that the Gapps provided by slim roms is not a full version?? If so, can you please provide a link where I can download the full google apps? I know the store doesn't have it cause I tried to search for it. Otherwise if any Nexus 4 owner is using the stock rom and included voice, can they somehow extract it and post a download link? It would be greatly appreciated.
If the above options aren't possible, then say I were to flash the stock rom again, would I get back the lost original voice? And then can someone give me instructions on how to extract the voice so I can install in a custom rom? This would be helpful too.
EDIT: Found downloadables. My search was flawed as I searched for "google text-to-speech, android text-to-speech, google tts, google tts nexus 4", etc. when I should've simply searched for "gapps" as "gapps tts" doesn't work either.
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.
Google Voice doesn't appear to work with Verizon, unless there is a workaround I'm not seeing.
Now that that's out of the way, I'm using the latest build of Cyanide ROM with my Nexus 6P on Verizon, and am looking for a visual voicemail app that will work well. I don't know how much to trust the vm apps on the Play Store, and I've tried several options (including the Google help link I'm directed to in Google Voice) and can't quite seem to get it to work. Any suggestions?

I can't believe it was that simple. Couldn't find that (didn't search more than 15 minutes, but still). Thanks, man. :good:
Hello everyone. I have using custom roms for a while now. Unlocked and re locked several times. Now I am running pixel experience latest build. Before that i was on havoc os latest one. Tested crdroid, superior os Phoenix, LOS 17.1 . The issue in every custom 10 rom i can not use my device microphone in messenger, imo, discord etc. To use voice service in these apps i have to use headset microphone. But the device microphone is working perfectly in phone app and WhatsApp. Any fix for this please. It would be great. I can not stand pie roms because i fell in love with the q gestures xD.
what i have tried so far
Give proper permissions
uninstall and reinstalling apps
clearing storage and cache
resetting

Thanks brother. You are a life saver.
Sorry to revive an old post, but I'm having this problem in CrDroid Android 12. I don't have any Google products installed.
