WM6 - TMO:DASH - Voice Command BlueTooth Announcements - Working

[boggsie]

Obviously, those of you with a T-Mobile DASH who are using the WM6 ROM from T-Mobile that includes Voice Command do not have, or should not have an issue with Announcements via BlueTooth.

However, with so many other ROMs available, many of them more stable, I wanted an option to use these HTC ROMs while not loosing Announcements via BlueTooth. You can install the HTC ROM and then install Voice Command 1.6, but as many know, Announcements do not work.

Well, here is how I got it to work.

Start with the stock TMO/WM6 ROM for the Dash installed on your ... Dash

1) get/copy the Voice Command files from the Windows Directory

enuphon.dat
enusysd.dat
enusysd.dbr
enut11f1.dat
enut11f1.dbr
enut11f1.dll
enut11f1.hdr
enut3s51.dll
enutstpp.dll
enutstpp.hdr
enu_g2p.dll
enu_g2p.hdr
l1033.cw
l1033.ini
l1033.phn
l1033.smp
l1033.wwd
lhcom02w.dll
lsr1033.lxa
Michelle.dat
r1033sr.lxa
sapi.dll
sapiwavstr.dll
spCacheAudio.dll
spsreng.dll
tts3000.hdr
ttscore.dll
vcbthag.dll
VCConfig_SP.exe
VCOSShim_SP05.dll
voicecmd.exe
VoiceCmdRes_SP.dll
VoiceCommandWMP.dll

2) install the new HTC ROM
3) buy/get/download the distributable Voice Command installer for the SmartPhone
4) install Voice Command on the fresh HTC ROM
5) take the Voice Command files that you copied from the WM6 T-Mobile ROM and use them to replace the Voice Command files that were installed in the Voice Command directory on the HTC ROM

soft reset and when voice command loads, it now announces ... everything that I can think of, if you are using the Normal profile. It may work on other profiles, but I don't have the time/inclination to test out those scenarios

I am trying to use boggsie's method, but messed up and did not copy the voicecmd.exe file from the TMo DASH. Oops!

Can someone post the file for me. Thanks

There is a reg hack that allows all the calls, announcements, etc. to go through your bluetooth headset.

I am using a 6.0 ROM other than TMo, and Voice Command will not announce incoming calls. I think I can replace my voicecmd.exe with the one from TMo (it is changed to allow incoming call announcments), and it will work. Problem is that I do not have the voicecmd.exe from TMo ROM.

Can someone copy it from their TMo Windows directory, and post it here? Thanks.

here you go...this is from 6.1 which should be the same from 6.0

Lots in the rom development area could / may have happened, since I posted this tip. It has been well over six months, which for this community, is a very long time.

Making calls was never an issue. However, I (and many others in this situation) consistently ran into two issues.
1) fully functional call confirmation was unattainable
2) fully functional call and message announcements were unattainable

Again, I could make a call and talk all day ... that was not the issue.

So, the goal was to find a way to upgrade to another rom without loosing the aforementioned functionality. You could post-flash install Voice Command, but IMHO, it was a crippled installation for reasons listed above.

I haven't followed the SmartPhone scene since late February. It is entirely possible and probable that cooks have found ways to cook fully-functional Voice Command setups into custom roms.

Thanks for the files, links, and boggsie's instructions. I will now know who is calling without looking at the phone while driving, drinking coffee, eating a muffin, etc.
