[Q] Is there any Real Time Voice changer in phone calls??

I know there are some voice changers in the market to record your voice and transform it ussing effects, but i would love to see some app doing that in realtime in phone calls, changin your voice to female for example, for pranks or even for inapropiate and undecent calls.
Does anyone know of an app like this?
And please, take the possible legal debate out of here!
Thanks!

Would like to know this too, hehehehe.

Something like this you mean ?

Yes, but that is a service offered by a company, you have to dial a number in the United states, and they do all the work and you have to buy minutes.
I was thinking an app like voice changer. you record something and it transforms your voice to alien, helium, etc. and i have to say it does it very quick so hardware shouldn't be a limitation for a phone to do it itself realtime in middle of a call.
I ask just because i could not find it in the market, 200.000 apps and no voice changer for a device that is intended primarily for talking.

I doubt that there's anything.
You would need a real low audio latency to preserve a reasonable call and as far as I know, it's currently impossible to achieve that with Android.
Just have a look at all those iOS applications, there are even professional audio apps etc..
If you're interested in the issue, then have a look here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3434

I think it may have something with the "blurphone.apk", it record the voice and transmit it in real time. It is possible when someone develop a software to replace it. But it is a system app and I haven't found a similar third party app yet.

But it would still require some sort of audio processing algorithm, which would increase the latency too much to perform a normal call.
It would be like Skype with a bad connection.. you say something and the other person would hear your voice half a second late.

[Q] Play a background sound during a call
Wrong Place

Play a .mp3 file during a call... is it possible?

Would like to know this too uhauhuauauhauh nice pranks

As I would love to have such an app too, I have done some research in the net with the result: NO. unfortunatelly.. because of hardware issues as it would need to much ressources for the real time voice changing (as kaffeekranz allready mentioned).
But: there are several hardware solutions. Little devices, which you hold in front of your phone while talking. That works not so bad even with cheap devices from ebay - I have tested it allready.

I'm very sure that this must be possible - my sister had a cheap chinese-phone, branded trustingly with "digital mobile digital phone"(even had a sushi game and TV) - And this crap-phone had built-in voicechanger. You just activated it before placing a normal call, and you'd sound like a baby, a deep male voice, a robot or w/e, could choose from 7-8 predefined voices.
If it can be done on a cheap knock-off(far from a smart-phone), then surely it should be possible on at least a rooted phone?

is exactly what I'm after, but without going by WiFi, all scrambling should be done internally, between the mic picking up the sound and sending it to the other party.
Edit: This app seems to claim it has live/realtime changing, but nothing regarding calls:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mikrosonic.DroidVox
http://www.mikrosonic.com/droidvox

that's great! I cant believe there's no prank app in the market doing the same

That would be nice. I want to call to my 5 years old son and pretend that I'm Santa Claus and ask him about his year to know if he deserves his christmas gift.

Chinese phones have it
How come cheap chinese phones have it and a super smart phonr like android doesnt? This sucks. I have a 40 buck chinese phone that can not only change my voice to many different voices, it can also give me background noises...i know background noises are not a big deal to code, but voice changing shouldent be impossible... I really hope someone comes up with this very usefull app...

Isn't this just forbidden by law? Maybe that's why Google doesn't put it into Android and those Chinese phones do have it..

Really wanted an app like this, wonder y third parties dont make it

Kaffeekranz seems to have hit the nail on the head I think...

I think this link does tell the story... need a low level interface directly to do realtime full duplex modification of communications.

We might have reached forbidden grounds here..
There could be a conspiracy at hand, there are no apps that can change your voice while talking on the phone, because we are being monitored, and your phone calls listened..and recorded

How about legal complications maybe? I knox that in some countries voice changing is illegal unless you tell the other person you have. Just like recording too.

New Pumpkin HU with Parrot Bluetooth

Has anyone bought one and how do you feel about it?

No difference
I've one and the microphones are still in parallel so I had to cut the front
mic to get decent sound from the external. Not worth it.
I've asked a bunch of question a week ago and they promise answer within 24h. No response yet.
I like the home screen it's nice. One of my questions concern the icons on the home screen. They
seem not to be replaceable.

Did you contact Pumpkin by emails on Aamzon?
I have also asked them some questions, very pleased with great service. And I'm planing to buy one with Parrot Bluetooth, but thank you.
OS: Android 4.4 Kit Kat
CPU: Rockchip PX3 Cortex A9 Quad Core 1.6GHz
RAM: DDR3 1GB

Just FYI-
I have this unit: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01B2JNF2C?tag=xdadevelopers-21
While everything else is impressive, bluetooth still sucks at the moment. Volume gains are terrible, and the MIC is still low. I have to literally crank my sound to 30 before i hear a heavily static'y and distorted conversation.
I did see a youtube video demo by pumpkin that did not seem to have my issue, so im wondering if i may have a bad chip. Don't get your hopes up too much though!
My experience in another thread: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8902358&postcount=57
UPDATE:
Most all issues have been resolved after some back and forth and rom updates:
Fixed:
Bluetooth sound is now separated from other sounds. So now bluetooth volume control now works properly and comes through loud and clear.
Still not perfect:
The MIC kind of sucks. People struggle to hear me clearly, but it does work. Not a deal breaker for me, but I wish it was better. It would probably be a lot better if i cut the internal mic cable on the deck and just use the external one
My steering wheel controls work most the time. Sometimes they are not responsive. Honestly though, I believe that this is an issue with my Scosche head unit adapter for my car. It is known to be a problematic piece of ****.

I had an answer which didn't make wiser. Sent another question about the bad BT sound. Also about
the fixed icons on the home screen. I like to put my own icons there, but it's hardcoded and can't be changed.
The DAB-radio works excellent, but you can't upgrade to the 1.5 for better layout since it's a system apk.
I'm not happy with what they call an improvement.

Had a late reply again. Icons on home screen are hard-coded. They will ask
factory to change, will never happen of course. Neglected to answer question about BT-audio.
If you buy try to buy via Pay-Pal so you have a free return.

The installation is on hold since the FW is not up to the standard of my now fitted KLD. The BT is no improvement, the Icons are not an improvement either.
DAB firmware old style and so on.
The size is standard Chinese DIN size and not real DIN size. It wont fit in a standard DIN that's for sure.

Ive got this unit installed for couple of days
The price is ok for what you get.
Currently found flaws:
Does not fit very well in a standard Double din frame.
DAB application is annoying, desperately need the 1.5 somehow installed,
Bad reception with the 3g-module ordered from autopumpkin. This is in a dutch Metropolitan Area
Only mastervolume , no application specific volume control. you cannot hear google maps above radio/dab/mp3
perhaps someone can answer this:
Is there a custom rom available (malaysk?) (its KDL6) for this device?

This Mine installed in a Skoda Octavia

I have the RQ0364E since jannuary and have no problems. The fm radio works much better how with my old Erisin and also the bluetooth works very very well without a microphone. I only don`t like the original apps and launcher, so I installed all the KGL apps and modded the Dab-app a little bit to the KGL-style. You can download it here if you want: https://mega.nz/#F!69JH3SwZ!G30W-fliypsgxOMw6NigBg
I have already a newer version with grey background when you press a station button and white font instaed of the pink one. I can also upload it if you are interested. The Dab reception mostly also works well, but it would be nice if there would be an app wich switches between FM and Dab.

I've tried to upgrade the DAB, but it's doesn't work with the original FW since DAB.apk is a system app. I asked Pumpkin and they

I also asked Pumpkin about the icons on the main screen. The answer, it's hard coded in firmware. Only system apps

If I understand you right, you want to change the icons in the original launcher?
Thats no problem.
First you need to root your unit, install apk extractor from play store, extract the launcher and put it on your computer. Then you have to download the APK Image Themer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579389
After that you have to decompile the apk with the program, go to res/ drawable... and there then you can change the icons or also make the background, how the kgl launcher has it invisible. After changing you need to decompile the apk and also sign it.
Then you can install it on your unit.

Thanks a lot, but no thanks. I do appreciate that you took the time and wrote the instruction down. I prefer the seller to do their job.
I would screw up half way, trust me. I tried to copy the launcher to my Malaysk's unit, but it only works halfway. The main page doesn't appear.
The other pages with Pumpkin's icons work.

So the Malaysk firmware is compatible with this device or not? Can anyone give a one word answer?

I tried the app By Bin4ry, but due to problems with the live view I could not use. I installed the app By ROSTOVisualFX and may be used, make a photo, but not a stich panorama (only up to 60-70%).
Is there a solution for this problem?

Read carefully the page on allge.ru - stitching panoramas on your phone is not supported! Do stitching of panoramas on the computer is easier and better with the latest version of ActionDirector.

samsung s4
Hi guys
great work!!!
I need information about samsung s4, my last app version don't work (no preview) , i've write it in the forum a few months ago.
I can use this way to use my phone?
It would be enough to use the LivePreview just to see the shots before recording and to make some adjustments.

Any chance for an update?

get a launcher from the playstore.
i like FCC and CarWebGuru (i'm using the latter) just download and install and select "always use as homescreen".
you might not be able to find the radio, bluetooth, tpms and other stock apps in the drawer anymore.
if that is the case you need to install the correct apk's to get them visible in your app drawer again.
here are the apk's: http://www.mediafire.com/file/14sodhuv8mvl7g6/stock_apps_for_AHU_%288227L%29.zip/file
download, unzip and copy the needed apk's to your usb stick or sd card.
insert the card/stick in your Head unit browse to the files, click install apk.. and BAM! full working stock apps!

Thanks. That is very helpful.
The stock apps on my device are quiet bad. The BT app for example does not sync properly, does not support favorites and has very poor functionality and UI.
How can I change a stock app to a better one ?

Welcome to the forum. So as you have probably started to notice, the unit you've bought is not up to expectations but fear not, there are plenty of optimizations that can be done to improve the user experience. Feel free to visit this thread for inspiration and of course software that can help you on this journey. And check out the video in my signature that will demonstrate a lot of these improvements.

Thank you! It looks very promising.

Hi everyone. I have 8227l demo android headunit in my car running on android Go 8.1. It has 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM (have verified that it really has these specs). All apps run fine but Google Maps app works very slow, lags too much. Kindly anyone guide me how to fine tune the headunit for a better & smooth speed of Google Maps working. Thanks

This is a common problem with these units in general. What you need is a modified firmware then root. You can speed up your head unit considerably this way.
Check out the video in my signature and at 1:54 you can see the speed of Google Maps but on a 1Gb RAM unit.

It's just not the right kind of unit. The units that are most common are 8227L type with YT921xx system type

Apologies, I thought I was replying to another post with similar question. I don't have anything for 2Gb RAM units, is what I was meaning to say. But there are plenty of stuff for your device out there.

What can I do with my device to get the best out of it? What do you recommend bro?

Hi,
I installed Joying android unit JY-UQS03N4G, and it worked okay. But now it does not recognize both the USB ports and Im unable to connect via USB.
Your advise appreciated.

Got it back. Ran 'factory reset' and both USB s working properly.

Well, it all depends on your skill level. Here is what I'm doing to these devices as part of my charity project (you can find more info here)
HARDWARE MODS
1. Installation of TDA7729 sound processing chip (if not present) - without it Fade and EQ do not work
2. Boost the sound quality of the onboard radio and sound effects (exchanging SMD components)
3. Installation of TDA7850 amplifier powered by external 18v power supply (custom built by myself) as well as replacement of capacitors controlling the bass and the treble. Active, temperature-controlled cooling system with additional heatsinks to ensure the proper heat dissipation - this requires modding the case internally as well.
4. WIFI antenna - increasing the average download speed from 1-2 Mbit to 30-40 Mbit
5. Vastly improving the microphone quality by removing the internal mic and replacing it either with a better internal mic or an external one.
6. Proper heatsink on the CPU that feeds into the aluminium case
SOFTWARE MODS
1. Installation of custom firmware (normally publicly available on 4PDA)
2. TWRP recovery
3. Root
4. Viper4Android - massive sound improvement in combination with the TDA7850 mod described above
5. Custom UI and startup logo (boot animation)
6. Speed hacks using root to greatly improve the performance of the head unit
Much more can be done as well, things like installing SDcard reader, AHD chip, RDS radio and other cool stuff.
Hope this answers your question

OPPO Watch International Version

Hey Guys,
Just bought an OPPO Watch, Australia Wear OS.
For me at least the watch is pretty good, Still needs some software/firmware development but very fast and for me the battery lasts two days easily.
Couple of observations that others may be able to help with or ideas.
After watching several YouTube videos there appears to be (on the Chinese version) about 3 times more watch faces available. Only seems to be about 13 available to me on the international version. And they are not very practical faces.
Also the Chinese version seems to come with an app called "App Market" where you can download apps (and faces) specific to the oppo watch. A bit like Samsung watches. This app is nowhere to be found on my OPPO Watch.
It has a few quirks, The inbuilt timer (which is a direct visual copy of Apple watch) gives no audio notification when finished if you are wearing the watch. However if you are not wearing it then there is an Audio notification(very strange).
Anyway maybe others will engage in this discussion.
Cheers
Chris

I have already my 2nd Oppo Watch and it suffers from a screen burned-in issue. If you enable the Always-On-Display, after few hours you can see the ghost image:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can clearly see in the background the "X" coming from the one of the default Oppo watchfaces.
I have reported it to the customer care in Poland, they've sent me a new one with the same issue:
After reporting it back, they did some test on multiple other parts and proved the issue is there on all of them and it's unsolvable. It looks like Oppo released an untested product with a major screen issue. Only thing they offered me is the money back...

Burn in is not good! Wait for next generation....

Thats really bad. Surly we got over the screen burning issues with devices back in the days of plazma TVs. My very First Apple Watch original had the same burn in problem, however that seemed to be fixed with a firmware update.
Fortunately its not really a problem for me. I am not a fan of always on displays , and never use them on Watches or phones.

^^ yes, I understand that the screen burn in is something that must happen after some time (like months) of usage, but not after few hours!
Anyway, I fully agree with you - when you don't use AOD, you probably won't have this issue. Moreover, if you turn the screen off completely for few hours (for example overnight) then the ghost image is gone. It's back again after about 2-3 h of AOD.
I hope to get this fixed by FW update instead of money back.

Oppo just confirmed the issue and they will be rolling out an update this week that is supposed to minimise this issue. We will see...

Hopefully any update will also fix the issues I raised in my first post. Very limited number of watch faces available to international customers. And no access to the oppo app store.

I think the international version will never gain the access to the Oppo App Store, as this is only for the China Market. The Chinese model itself is not based on WearOS so they had to invent some substitute to the Google Play Store in order to allow users to download apps. Similar situation happened to Huawei when they had to remove Google Services.

I have checked your issue with the timer and indeed - it behaves the same on mine. But if you don't like it, you can just install the Google one and this one works fine.

The lack of the Oppo App store is probably not a big deal. Just that from videos I have seen they have access to some terrific watch faces (mostly copies of apple watch ones). As for the timer, glad to know you have the same problem. I too installed the Google one and works fine. I just think the inbuilt one is more elegant.
A great App to install for notifications is "Feel the Wear"

I have found another issue. This one with the clock. After 2-3 weeks the clock is showing time +1 minute, although it is getting the time from the phone all the time. The phone itself has correct time. To fix it you have to force the time synchronization (in the watch settings disable auto time and enable back).
Frankly speaking it's a bit ridiculous that the watch can't display the time properly...

So I got today the promised software update. Looks like they've replaced the AOD screen of the mentioned watch face with an AOD of another watch face (the one with animated "flower") so it doesn't display the X anymore. Additionally they've introduced small movement of the AOD screen every few mins so that not always the same pixels are used to display the content. This seems to have fixed the issue.
Btw., Chris, the issue with the timer is still there

That is pretty bad. Although I don't think that time synchronization problem is exclusive to Oppo Watch. Years ago I had an LG android watch and it use to get out of sync with just about everything.
Fortunately I don't have the problem you describe on my Oppo Watch. I live in a border town where one side is on Daylight saving time and the other not, so I imagine the clock is synchronizing several times a day.
