How to add Voice Commander to 5060 ROM?

[theTastyCat]

Hi all - I'm immensely grateful to this site for helping my PPC finally come alive!! I've built and flashed many ROMS from the PPCGeeks kitchen, but they are all buggy and the phone takes forever to answer if it will answer at all. Today I finally decided to try the 5060 ROM from No2Chem instead of my own recipe - voila!!! My phone actually runs! Wow...love it. Guess I was bloating my custom ROMs without realizing it.

So here's my question. I have become addicted to the laziness possible with MS Voice Commander. It's not included in No2Chem's ROM, but it is in the PPCGeeks kitchen. I think it was actually on my xv6800 when I got it stock; so, I REALLY don't want to shell out $40 to buy a program that was on my phone originally and would still be there if #*$*#!@# Verizon would release software updates with the rest of the world. Is there any way to add Voice Commander to my phone, or would I have to cook a ROM from the kitchen to get it back?

Perhaps someone would be kind enough to tell me if it would be possible to replicate the nice, clean, speedy 5060 ROM via the kitchen, to which I could add VC and be happy as a lark.

Any input appreciated!

Thanks,

Gerry

You can cook the ROM with it in it. If you upgrade to the new Sprint ROM.It is as easy as checking a box.

If you have a 6700 you can still use the kitchen

I've upgraded to the 6800, haven't changed my profile yet...

I know you can put it in a cooked ROM, but my ROMs have been buggy and slow to the point of not being able to answer the phone. No2Chem's clean 5060 ROM runs like a breeze on my phone, and I've been able to reinstall all the things I really wanted (VistaHide battery, GPSViewer, etc.) except Voice Commander.

Here's my question - is it possible to recreate No2Chem's 5060 ROM from the kitchen by only selecting the things he mentions that are in the ROM? I love his registry tweaks, text size, date in the title bar, etc., stuff, and want the exact same thing but with VC.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Gerry

Never used Cyberon. Any opinions?

[justpctech]

i used it for awhile, it has more options than the stock Cyberon Voice Speed Dialer, and will read emails to you, supposedly giving you the option to reply to them also. (I never tried that myself) but otherwise, its got a lot smaller footprint memory wise than Microsoft Voice Command, seemed to understand my commands very well. sorry, its been so long since I used it, cant remember everything it did, but I was pretty happy with it.

I cannot say that this will work exactly in the 5060 ROM since I use the DCD 3.0.4, but it should be close.

First, I downloaded the PPCKitchen OEM zip file. Then I pulled out the two directories for the latest MS Voice Command application and put them in my Kitchen OEM directory. These are,

"VoiceCommand"
and
"VoiceCommand_Lang_0409"

NOT
"Voice Command 1.6" (This is a slightly older version that I understand has issues)

I built my Kitchen and installed the image into my XV6800. There are two Reg hacks that I needed to install after the device booted.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"Path"="\\Windows\\voicecmd.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Au dioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule"="vcbthag.dll"

There are other threads on this topic both here at PPCGeeks and XDA-Developers forums. Search for these and you shall be rewarded, I was. I must say, I am VERY happy with the most recent VC and the Reg fixes.

WH that's great info and plan to try it the next time I cook, but I think he was asking about Cyberon's Voice CommandER, not Microsoft's Voice Command.

Hey all - thanks for all the reponses. Actually, I tried Cyberon but just am too addicted to Microsoft VC. Here's my problem - when I try and cook a barebones ROM from the 5060 kitchen, I get something slow and buggy and without all the trendy, nice little fixes in No2Chem's 5060 ROM, such as the date in the taskbar, nice font, skinny scrollbars, etc. So - I suppose my question is, is it possible to build an exact replica of No2Chem's 5060 ROM from the kitchen, or is that not possible?

Thanks,

Gerry
