[Dec-04-2009] VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28008 (Cab Inside)
 

* If running a ROM 6.5.x with No Voice Command

--- Install 1.6.21040.CAB (do not test or you'll start it up)
--- Immediately Install 1.6.28008_Patcher_For_6_5_X.CAB

* If running a ROM 6.5.x with Voice Command (Cooked or Installed)

--- Stop VC in Personal Settings
--- Install 1.6.28008_Patcher_For_6_5_X.CAB

* If running a ROM 6.1 with No Voice Command

--- Install 1.6.21040.CAB (do not test or you'll start it up)
--- Immediately Install 1.6.28008_Patcher_For_6_1.CAB

* If running a ROM 6.1 with Voice Command (Cooked or Installed)

--- Stop VC in Personal Settings
--- Install 1.6.28008_Patcher_For_6_1.CAB

* For all installs

--- Soft Reset after above is done.
--- Make your first VC Call on the HandSet (it may be sluggish first time).
--- After that works try blue tooth headset.

* If one of the methods above fails for 6.1 ROMs you can try this CAB instead which replaces minimal number of files.

--- Install 1.6.Install 1.6.28008_Patcher_For_6_1.CAB

The 1.6.28008_Patcher_For_6_1.CAB has NO .CPL File in it (that's the only difference from the 6_5_X CAB).

Both "Patcher" CABs is just copying ALL the files (it does not touch registry or anything).
Voice Command MUST BE OFF when you install it or uninstall it.

When you first install any Voice Command for the first time it is NOT Active. Even after reboot or clicking blue tooth headset. The first time you hold the Send Key down activates it. Once activated you must go into Personal Settings to shut it off. Personal settings may not show up until you Soft Reset.

I also zipped all the binaries from kitchen into a ZIP.

I could not build a true single CAB because self register was failing on some DLL's. But replacing the DLL's works fine.

I named the Patcher CABs seperate internally so they can be installed and uninstalled independently of Voice Command. But again Voice Command must be off when installing or uninstalling one the "Patcher" CABs. If your Voice Command is Cooked in it should uninstall (untested by me). If your Voice Command was installed and you uninstall the a "Patcher" you will have to also uninstall you base install (you may have to ignore errors, reboot etc., I've done this a bunch of times, no harm done).

I can't promise what will work and not work. Backup/Sync before experimenting.

I've installed, uninstalled, copied, patched, unpatched, deleted a bunch of times and I'm still on the same flash with no harm done.

Regarding Hang Up over Blue Tooth. It is not immediate every time. Older versions of VC would never hangup for me.

See other threads regarding Phone Skin and Data Shutdown Timeout. I have not applied these other patches and VC is working 95% normal. Just slow to disconnect over headset sometimes (much better). Initiating over headset is immediate and I don't have to wait to speak.

Note: For 6.1 Users. These patchers are much more complete. The CPL was removed but it may be other new files are also incompatible. Post your results either way. See also the "BareBones" cab.

Note: I've only tested on 6.5.1 with uncooked Voice Command. But I believe what I describe above will work on other confiurations but very likely not all.

Thanks to Calkulin's Kitchen for these Binaries

What works and what does not (tested on 6.5.3 ROM):

-- Announce Incoming Calls over Speaker: Yes
-- Announce Incoming Calls over BlueTooth: No
-- Hang up over Bluetooth: Improved
-- Lag issuing Voice Command: None
-- Play Music: Yes

Does Play anything work. I have never got it to work since 6.5 has been out lol. Worked fine with 6.1 not quite sure what happened

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

I just tried it and it seems to work. I said "Play Music" and it asked what I wanted, including "anything", so I said "Anything" and it played the Outlook Mail Arrived Jingle. I have no music :)

I should also mention I don't know how well this will work on a ROM with Voice Command Cooked in. It's mostly for folks that are using the old CAB for some the ROMs. But it may work on ROMs with Voice Command cooked in. If it won't install try just copying the 4 files in the ZIP file (in the PATCH folder, you'll see what I mean when you open zip).

I was gonna put in Energy ROM thread but thought it might be useful for other ROMs.

If mods want to move to the non upgrades area that's fine with me but this pertains mostly to folks using custom ROMs.

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

The cpl may be dependent for on 6.5.x roms. If you try to use the newer cpl with the 21882 sys it will not show up. However, you can use the old cpl and all the other newer files and it works. It just reports in the cpl that it is v1.6.21859, even though, we all now the files are newer, just need to hex the older cpl. =P

Below is the older cpl hexed to show the newer v 1.6.28002

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

Great work. I'll make another cab today.
Did it fix lag and hang up issues?

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

installed one with parches on a custom 6.5 rom but cannot find its shotcut for options. Isn't it usually in settings/personal? I don't see a voice command icon there at all.

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

I am using the latest Mighty Rom and I can confirm that your patch cab installs and seems to be working fine.

I have an issue with Voice Command that maybe you or someone can help with.

There used to be a way to get into the VC settings and turn off the option where it asks you to confirm before making a call. I can't seem to get there (if it's even still there). This is an issue for me and my bluetooth stereo.
Before I was able to disable that option, say Call "Ray Daley Home" and it would place the call.
My car unit has never played the voices through the speaker so it makes it next to impossible to use VC from my car.

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

The options thing is in Settings -> Personal but it won't show up until you soft reset after installing.
But if you are installing on top of a Cookin VoiceCommand the Chef may have moved it and installing on top may not change it's location.

It sure does get confusing where everything is on all these ROMs. I like how Energy organizes stuff.

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

That's where it has always been before, since installing the patch it seems to have dissapeared.

I am backing things up and I am going to uninstall the patch and see if it comes back.

The problem is, even when it was there, there was no option to turn off the prompts like there has been in previous versions.

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

did you soft reset?

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

I did, but no Voice Command settings.

After un-installing, it broke Voice Command. Now I get an error message that there was a problem launching voicecmd.exe, please re-install the program and try again.
The ironic part is that uninstalling the patch put back the Voice Command Setting icon.

Re-installing the patch fixed Voice Command but again... Lost the Settings Icon.

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

If you voice command control panel is not appearing under personal, download the cpl I modified and overwrite in it the windows root with resco or total commander. Then soft reset with software soft reset like psshut xp. It will now show up.

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

The lag hangup issues have to do with the phone canvas and not voice command. If you do not have the option to upgrade to the newer phone canvas (Phone - PhoneCanvas 3.40.1920.1930) and you are not using push email, you can use hd tweak and set the internet settings to turn off after five minutes, soft reset, and this will fix the hangup lag.

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

After re-reading your thread I figured that might be the case.
I did copy your modified file to the windows folder and it restored the the control panel applet.

But...
Not your problem, this hasn't been an available option since I got my TP2, there is still no option to dissable the confirmation prompts.

Oh well, this version does work much better than the original. At least I can answer calls in my truck, that's the important thing for me.

Thank you,

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

Yeah but putting this Voice Command on works. But I noticed it sometimes takes more than one click. I'm using what ever PhoneCanvas Engery 28008 Leo ROM defaults to. I don't use push mail.

I have a cleaner Cab comming with all VoiceCommand files from 28008 ROM.
I got them all cleanly extracted from the Kitchen.
I'll also create one with the patched CPL for 6.1 (I'll also check the 6.1 Kitchen).

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

OK, so I admit it...
I can be an airhead at times!

I just found the settings I was looking for.

When you go to Settings, Personal, Voice Command
I didn't realize that you need to hi-light "Phone" then click options to get the settings I have been looking for.

All is good now!

Thanks again for all the help.

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

Thanks for the files ..

However found that it makes voice command not announce incomming calls and lowered the volume .. so I tried to uninstall .. but that didnt work :( ( thank god for backups )

So Here is what i did ..

I made a new cab .. that just replaces the files needed.
( including the patched CPL )

Install Ver MSVC 1.6.21040.CAB reboot - Then Install Patch! Reboot!
Seems to work well and works for everything I tried .. Give this a try.

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

Warlock, I tried your cab, and it uninstalled MSVC first, then failed to install the patch due to a signature error.

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

I've posted all new CABs in the opening post that I believe are much more complete and more compatible with various configurations.

Re: [Dec-04-2009] VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28008 (Cab Inside)
 

Lot of downloads and no status.

I installed it on a clean Energy ROM last night and it's working great.

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

Does this announce incoming calls over BT headset?

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

I never use that feature. But I thought that it worked on most versions once you set it up correctly. In Settings-> Personel -> Voice Command -> Click Phone -> Then Notifications.

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

No, on the whole it does not work at all on the TP2, something having to do with it having a non MS BT stack.

It is supposed to be fixed with the USC 6.5 Rom, but none of the cooked Roms here based on that that I've tried have it fixed.

Re: [Dec-04-2009] VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28008 (Cab Inside)
 

Do you know if this will fix the issue with TP2 not announcing incoming calls? Other than that I can use VC to call, I remember it reading a msg or email a while ago but I think that I turned that feature off.

Re: [Dec-04-2009] VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28008 (Cab Inside)
 

Not sure how broken it was to begin with, but I just tried it on the patched version and it seems to work fine.

Make sure you turn that feature ON, it's off by default.

Settings -> Personal -> Voice Command -> Select Phone
Click Options -> Enabled Announce Incomming Calls.
Click Notifications -> Choose Headset or Handset etc.

Re: [Dec-04-2009] VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28008 (Cab Inside)
 

Has anyone had success with using these patches on 6.1? I know they work on 6.5.

Re: [Dec-04-2009] VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28008 (Cab Inside)
 

K, followed your instructions to the T and still no joy...everything works as before except for the "Announce Incoming Calls" even when as far as having my wife call me after I used the VC to call her for the first time.:scratch:

Have another question though, is there suppose to be a Voice Command choice listed in the drop down for assigning ring tones to "incoming calls" under start>settings>all settings>personal tab>sounds & notification> notification tab?

Re: VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28002 (Cab Inside)
 

So you saying that this fixed the "announce incoming calls"?

Re: [Dec-04-2009] VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28008 (Cab Inside)
 

I updated opening post on what works and what does not.

Announcing works over speaker but not over bluetooth.

If neither works for you it may depend on your ROM.

Re: [Dec-04-2009] VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28008 (Cab Inside)
 

I use MSVC 1.6.21725 with out issues on MAX Energy

Re: [Dec-04-2009] VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28008 (Cab Inside)
 

Noted, "Announce Incoming Calls" OVER THE PHONES SPEAKER is a no go...I guess my problem is with the ROM. It's a shame being as though this is the ROM it came with. I only hope and pray now that someone at the local repair shop is savvy enough to fix it. Thanks anyway.

Re: [Dec-04-2009] VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28008 (Cab Inside)
 

Has no one still found a fix for the MSVC BT issue?

Re: [Dec-04-2009] VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28008 (Cab Inside)
 

If anyone figures out how to announce callers over BT, PLEASE let the rest of us know.

Re: [Dec-04-2009] VoiceCommand PATCHED to 1.6.28008 (Cab Inside)
 

I have a touch pro 2 and I also have a jabra bt8010 BT. Though this BT rocks I was unable to get announce callers over BT to work thru my BT. It kept coming out in the speakers instead even though I had all the flags set. So, after looking for others BT that would work, I found one name LG HBM-570. I basically had to turn off the announce caller function in TP2. But with the LG HBM-570, It has a name alert function where it will also announce the caller name of incoming call if it is in your phone book or just say the number if not. All going through the BT. This possible because TP2 supports the Phone Book Access Profile or PBAP which I believe is another type of BT protocol. There may be other BTs like this, but the LG HBM-570 did actually what I was wanting the MS voice command to do on the TP2. In stores, it will run about $50-60 bucks, but shop on the internet as I found one for $20.00. I still keep my Jabra BT8010 for working out since It comes with two ear pieces for stereo. I hope this others.

I started a voice link, didn't know about this one until today, i've got what appears to be newer downloads.. will try these patches with the newer downloads.
