On my Vibrant Swype, it had a voice button that was very convenient...I notice that the Swype app on the MT4G does not include this button.
Anyone know of a way to add this functionality? I used to swap out Swype versions on my Vibrant, but lack of root and a compatible app might be needed to make this change, just curious if anyone knows or has tried with any success. Thanks!
I had the same button on my G2, and now it's gone. How do we get this back?
I love swipe but this is the only reason I don't use it. That's the only thing missing on swype

I am wondering about this as well. I saw the demo at the store had it, but I couldnt find it here on my phone.
Hmm
I have a version with the mic, but can't figure out how to install it. I was using it on my n1. Can't over ride the system Version
as far as i know, the reason it is not being included is due to a security flaw. i forgot where i read it
I tweeted swype asking them if it was tmo and the genius button were to blame for no mic button and their reply was " yup "
you also cant see voice search (which no includes voice actions=similar to the genius button) in the stock launcher. If you use a replacement launcher such as adw you can use voice actions... waayyyy faster than genius button, sometime not accurate though..
anyway... SSSUUUUUCCCCKKKKSSSSSS to not have the mic button... bad decision TMO booo hisssss
Thanks for the reply, hopefully they work it out and add this back in...I used it all the time on my Vibrant, great feature...I noticed that I can't search by voice on the web browser either...they really want that keyboard to get used I guess!
EDIT: I just checked my wife's G2 and it has a voice icon in SWYPE and in the browser...so now I'm really confused why the MT4G doesn't have it...
EDIT2: never thought about the "genius" button as a reason...thanks for that!
So I rooted, deleted swype, installed G2 with mic button.. but not luck so far....incompatible... I requested a compatible version with the mic so hopefully they hook it up. If i figure out a way or find a version I will post a how to here.
worst case scenario, SlideIt seems on par with swype now, and have a mic (and you dont have to root to, just get it from the market)
Hey, not to be insulting, but when you installed the G2 Swype on the MY4G, did you replace both the APK and the libSwypeCore.so file (in system/lib)? I always had to replace both when I made changes before...sorry in advance if you already knew/did this...thanks!
thanks for the info.. i didnt know or try that, but it did not seem to help now that i have tried. ugh... stuck with slideIT for now. 8pen is free.. maybe ill try that again hehe. i did a nandroid first... but that first attempt to restore is always scary! especially without backup flashable roms hehe
*edit* god bless nandroid! wooo stock swype back... i think its time for some metamorph theming
I have a version I was using on my nexus with a mic on it, I'm rooted, backed up the one here, deleted, installed mine fine, but it doesn't work because it says it can find the English language pack. But now titanium won't put the original back. Ugh
Can someone upload the built in swype apk so I can push it back in?
"worst case scenario, SlideIt seems on par with swype now, and have a mic (and you dont have to root to, just get it from the market)"
Thanks for the idea, Kudos to you!

No prob, I found another solution.. I always was against this app but Handcent ..
Handcent gives you a mic in popup or by hitting menu a normal text.. so if you wanna stick with swype this would be your answer for now.. Handcent is highly customizable so you can keep it very close to stock if thats what you want.
Does anyone know how to uninstall/delete Vlingo without using adb?
Or at least change its configuration so it doesnt open when I press 2 times "home"...
Greetings.

Looking at your signature, you are rooted yes?
If so, do you have titanium backup? if so, then you can choose to either freeze or delete vlingo(freezing is the safest option, in case you decide you may want to use the app, or just in case).
You can also use root explorer to delete vlingo.

I had the same problem, bothered me to death; Solution above is the only solution I've found so far. One thing I've noticed though since freezing Vlingo: Now it just sometimes does literally nothing when I press my home button (probably when I use my home button twice with almost no pause between)
(btw: U gotta look for "Speech", "Sprache", "Voice" or something like that, in your language)
Thank you both for answering! I had tried both solutions but didnt find Vlingo to delete, so specially thanks to kaassema for

Because it sometimes starts on accident, for example when pressing the home-button twice fast, when all you wanted was twice the action of a one-button-press...
...or for clarification: I really have no use for Vlingo, nor intention to start it, yet I have seen it's interface at least 35 times already... By accident! Thus disabled it

You can disable Vlingo quite easiily on the Samsung Galaxy S2.
Settings>Language and Keyboard>Samsung keypad>Voice Input
Untick the box and the double click on home no longer brings up Vlingo.

What if I'm using Swype keys?
Seems your suggestion didn't work.
{i'm assuming the settings is overriding global setting}
JohnN6. That does actually not work. Even if you do that, disable the processes and swipe the data for Vlingo, it will always start, with Eula questions and everything, every time you either double-tap home, or more itrritatingly, if you hit your headset button to try and bring up any preferred installed dialer. The latest three software-updates for the S2 has been like this. And to add insult to injury, Vlingo has actually no hope of working for a Swede like me. Even if I tried to voice-dial a Swedish friend, by idiotically trying to pronounce the swedish names in English, it has almost zero chance to do a correct detection.
This software just has to be able to be disabled again (like the first Software version my S2 came delivered with). I am seriously thinking of just throwing the phone and get something else over this issue. Having to touch the phone to dial anyone is in my occupation often putting me in life-threatening situations. So it is really, really bad all of this...
@ SDPlus: I had the same problem and solved it. Using Titanium Backup free version on a rooted SGS2, it was easy (all english commands are translated from German, so could be not perfect):
First I entered Titanium, "Backup & Restore", and searched for "Vlingo". As a result there came "Sprachsuche", which is German for voice search. Pointing on it long enough brought up a menu, where I could choose "backup", and after that I clicked in the same menu on "force to stop". Then I clicked on "uninstall", and off it went.
Since I have a better app for voice dial (cyberon), Vlingo was pain. Now Cyberon works as expected.
Reasons for getting rid of Vlingo (someone asked): 1. I don't want to accept their terrible terms, where I allow to collect data about everything I do , whom I call, when, whatever. Disagreeing ends up in a not working voice-dial, even if you have a paid app for that installed. That is kidnapping. 2. It does not work good enough for me. 3. If I want to be binded to a software, I would have decided to buy an IPhone.
tnx it fixed my problem too
PS: In dutch/flemish it's called "spraakopdrachten".
If you freeze it with Titanium backup the double press doesn't work anymore.
You da man, thanks much for the info.....worked perfetly!!!
I want to take the subject and would like to know if you have any good replacement for the Vlingo app?
And if it have Portuguese language!?
Thanks!

Doesn't work. I have it like that for months and voice command it is still popping up .
Very annoying
Anyone have a fix to stop Vlingo poping up all the time? Even if I dont double press the home key it comes up. Very annoying. I dont have my phone rooted either.
The best way which i did last week
I ROOTED my Galaxy s2
Installed titanium tool and I freeze the voice command
Never again I got the voice command pop up
For those who already seeking for a salvation:
Get your phone rooted, instally Titanium Backup (even free version).
When you in Titanium Backup press menu and hit Filters, enter Vlingo, Accept. And then Go to Batch operations scroll down to Freeze apps and there you will only see Vlingo sh.t in your language just hit the Run button and you are now FREE FROM VLINGO.

Click the trash can next to Voice Command.
Click OK.
Not rooted. Ics 4.0.3
I never accepted the eula after ics update. Don't think that matters. No more vlingo ! Swype still fully functional.
I've had Molten 2.1 since the day ryman released it, and it's running great but, just realized that when I hold down the search button ScreenGrabber is activated rather than Voice Search.
I flashed it over stock GB 2.3.4.
I checked ScreenGrabber for any options to disable this but there are none.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
And thanks to ryman for the awesome ROM. It runs great.

I think he is referring to the actual hardware button
I think the solution would be to just tap the button, not hold.
Tapin' the Talk on the xSquared
Yeah. When you hold down search button on the phone (actual hard button) it opens up screen grabber. I like it though.

For me, the short-push brings up web search, not the voice app. I like the screen grabber but would rather have the voice-command app back on the long-push. That's the one I'd want more readily available, anyway...

Are you wanting to voice search the net? If so there is a voice button on that search bar when you short press.

Have you tried going to settings, applications, and browse the all tab for screengrabber. select it and pick clear defaults. See if that helps, I have yet to try Molten, don't know if this will help/work. Good Luck

It's one of the best features of our DX2 IMHO. I love how we can txt, emailnavigatete, google search and all that. I love teasing my son about his apple crap and how they're now finally catching up to us after a couple years.

Sorry for the late reply.
In stock and previous versions of Molten, when I press and hold the Search hard button, it would open Voice Commands. As someone mentioned, it's great for driving and being lazy. Currently, it opens up screengrabber.
You cannot clear the defaults on screengrabber. I backed it up and uninstalled it with TB. That is a crappy work around but it does work. Although, it doesn't work with a Bluetooth hands free device. Pressing the search key used to open voice commands, now it simply calls back your most recent call.
I haven't had time to flash M2.2 but I will. Thanks again for the help!
I have multi keyboards etc, but never see the little microphone key. I saw it once briefly but never again (sorry, can't remember when or how). Did anyone ever get this working?

Have you installed voice search from the android market yet?
If not, that's something you need to do.
I have voice input working with FlexT9 keyboard (from amazon market) and also with Swiftkey Tablet.
I can't get voice input on my keyboard working with any keyboards other than those listed above.
Voice search definitely works for me, however.
Thanks Downsay, I'll give some of those keyboards a try. I can't use Amazon apps as I am in Canada and they have us locked out.
how did you install FlexT9 keyboard?
I tried the amazon downlaod and it just gives me a force close when I try to follow instruction screen and click button keyboard and input.

which
downoaded FlexT9 keyboard and I am rooted I have hacker keyboard running.
First install the keyboard for the first time if you haven't already done so. Then Did you move the keyboard into /system/app? If not, you need to.
Also note that after you have done this you will need to reboot the nook. Then you will most likely have a force close error. Open root explorer or however you put the keyboard into /system/app and install flext9. You will have to reinstall each time you reboot the nook tablet. I'm not sure why' but it won't stick after a reboot. Let me know if this helps you out.

In previous versions of the Shostock ICS ROM, when I used voice commands with my Blueant Q2 headset, it automatically used Samsung Voice Command for making hands-free calls (worked great). But since I upgraded to 4.1.4, it defaults to Google Voice Dialer and then doesn't work. I can't find GVD in the applications list to deactivate nor can I find a way to make SVC the default.
Shoman didn't have any idea about the problem.
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
I think shoman misunderstood your original question when he responded about installing SVC yourself, but you only gave him a couple hours to respond to your clarification about setting the default before you posted over here.
Which voice command pops up for you now when you press the search button on the phone? The Google Now one that has "Search, or say Google" in the search bar or a different one?

When I press the button my Blueant Q2 headset, the Google Voice Dialer pops up. The little red circle to the right of Google then has a never-ending circling line and GVD never seems to engage.
I want SVC to pop up, not GVD.
Does that help? Can you help?
BTW, I just upgraded to Shostock 4.1.4.
Gotcha. I think I understand. Have you tried a long press on your phone's search button to pop up all search/dial options and set Samsung's to default?

I just tried long pressing Search, per your suggestion, and set Samsung Voice Talk as the default. After that, when I long press Search SVC comes up. But when I use my headset, GVD still pops up.
Other ideas?
I do appreciate the help...
After messing around some, this seems to be a problem with 4.1.4. I use AVX as my default and hadn't gotten around to reinstalling it since I flashed shoman's latest. After restoring it, I set it to default and am having the same exact deal as you, a press on the search button opens Google Now but my headset starts the Google dialer with the spinning red circle even though my default is set to something else. A long press on the search button will open my default, though.
Just flashed back to 4.1.2 and the problem persisted, so it isn't the latest version of the Shostock ROM.
So what has changed? I don't know. But being able to voice dial while driving is essential for me and I can't do it now.
Thoughts?

It's more than that. Before Google Now, a press on the phone's search button opened whatever your default was set to (same as a long press on my Plantronics set). Now, a press always opens Google Now's search, and a long press opens your default. I could live with that, but our headsets now always open up neither, it starts the old google voice command. Pretty funky.

Hardly an "epic fail" on your part given the awesome ROM that you have created.

I restored back to 4.1.1 and it works great. As I need hands-free, I'll stick with that until this problem gets ironed out (or you create a JB ROM!).
