Ok, firstly, can you go to the Android display settings and calibrate the G-Sensor. In the utter! settings, tap a couple of times to toggle the shake-to-wake option. When it confirms it is active, give it a really good shake and the 'yes master' announcement and icon should appear.
Creating the launcher shortcut is a standard request which all custom launchers should support... should... Is there room on the default (1st) home launcher screen? The 'no room to place shortcut' toast isn't working properly on my device.
The alternative is to manually add a shortcut to the activity. You can create these with a few apps such as anycut , minimalistic text donate or QuickShortcutMaker and many others.
The shortcut you want is LauncherShortcutActivity. Let me know how you get on
No worries, I need to know these things, as you'll be one of many who use that Launcher... It's strange it isn't configured to accept the launcher shortcut intent - do you have it set as your default launcher?I have calibrated the horizontal and gyroscope settings in display settings, and turned shake to wake on and off and back on in utter settings, but it still doesnt work. I have tried shaking it softly or hard and for more than a few seconds.
I have installed QuickShortcutMaker but it cant find the LauncherShortcutActivity activity?
edit: I searched for utter in QuickShortcutMaker and chose the second in the list and that seems to work, thanks, I now have the shortcut on the homescreen, no idea why lightning launcher wont let me create the shortcut though.
sorry Brandall...
Well I eventually (sometime this year) let you set your own command for 'open tomato' to open tetris, it will be solved, but in the mean time it's puzzling me. Is it definitely called Tetris in the launcher? Not 'Tetris Super Pro 3' or anything?Yeah every time I say open Tetris it opens either settings or twitter and I try making it sound the best I can and make sure I'm saying Tetris super clear but nope it doesn't like that!
Definitely removed in next release - It won't make you jump again!Yes its really so that utter say something. I had my phone a work with no touching and suddenly utter talks to me.
Thank you thank youMight be a few updates behind but the new interface is looking pretty damn sleek.
Thanks for your kind words It's good to be finally on the way to utter! being as I envisaged it functioning.brandall, dude your app is amazing. I have not updated in awhile but I just did upgrade and I am blown away. I am excited about the functionality . You have done fantastic work and should be proud. I will definitely be purchasing this when you release it. Good job brother
Waiting to see what Google release as an API for devs to work with. They've definitely tweaked the recognition accuracy, but I'm wondering if they are going to keep it to themselves as internal algorithms just for Google Now, or push it out for devs.... Open Source and all... I really hope they make the sharing choice...
Thanks for the feedback. Shake works on my S2 too, so it's odd that it's not working for CarsnGadgets. I've forgotten about the leftover folder from the 'old version'! Thanks for the reminder - I'll have to see if there are any conflicts. IVONA is a nightmare and no response to the issues I've raised with them. It locks up all of my devices and then randomly works fine for ages and then randomly plays up again.Hi Brandell,
Well this is going great!
Have had a few lockup problems, especally upon waking the phone up. Uninstalled nutter and removed the utter folder and reinstalled.. Program would not work at all. Uninstalled and reinstalled again and all is well so far.. No more lockups yet..Mind you I also switched from Ivona back to google tts..Probably helped as well.
My phone is a Galaxy s2 as well (international version, original rom, unrooted) and have no problems with the shake to wake. Not even when using Ivona
Love the new commands 8^)
Thank you thank youHave to keep my eyes on this. It looks very, very promising. I really like the concept.
I like the 'Friggum Fraggum' command Unfortunately when utter! is stuk in a loop, there's no communicating with it whatsoever.. The only option would be to completely destroy the app. I think I might have to do that, as no matter what I do, I cannot break the loops, even with the inbuilt Android breakLoopAndRestart() command (it's not exactly that, but you get the idea...)what about a kill utter button or toggle that turns off all of utter.
A way for you to silence it from randomly talking or make it ignore triggers.
better yet a master voice shutdown... like "Utter disable yourself for "X" amount of time" or "Turn off until I say Friggum Fraggum"
No worries, I need to know these things, as you'll be one of many who use that Launcher... It's strange it isn't configured to accept the launcher shortcut intent - do you have it set as your default launcher?
Glad you got the shortcut in the end - Say 'set shake to high' and then try shaking again! - that's the most sensitive setting. Do you have Tasker installed? Trying to think of another app that will easily let you test it out. Just found this app on the play store - You could see if the g-sensor is reporting data correctly to it? Let me know.
Only have two questions
1. Is there a way to change the voice? Because i don't like how computerized it is
2. How do i enable some functions, like Facebook, twitter, screen shot?

Great, glad the shake is working! Do I need to add another setting do you think? Is the amount you have to shake ridiculous? It's easy to add 'very high'. Let me know what you think.I am now back on stock touch wiz as I have had some issues with other 3rd party widgets with lightning launcher. Will try it again soon though and yes it was set as default launcher.
I have set "shake to high" and it works! most of the time, and I have to be quite rough with the shaking...lol, thanks.
I dont have tasker installed, no.
just installed the latest version of Utter. Thanks Brandall.

Thanks for replying, will add the voices links in.1. install a different TTS engine like svox or ivona
2. you cant, they are disables as the app is in development still and Brandall has not enabled these features yet.

Lucky you! It's still giving me headaches, but the release I'll upload shortly should be better again... I hope...

On the subject of screen shots:
1) Does volume down + power work for most of you running ICS?
2) Do you have a screenshot app installed?
3) From the terminal does the following give you a proper picture?It's all blurred for me Depending on your custom ROM it may or may not be implemented..Lucky you! It's still giving me headaches, but the release I'll upload shortly should be better again... I hope...Code:su screenshot /mnt/sdcard/picTest.png
EDIT3: For the new video I'm going to shoot, I need a slick Launcher set-up. It needs to be minimalist and sharp - If anyone would care to link to their set-up or screen-shots they've seen in the 'share-your-setup' threads that are kicking around, please do!

Thanks for all of the comments and support folks. For all of those eager to test something I'm going to knock up a configuration apk over the weekend. Nothing too exciting I'm afraid, but digesting the comments I've realised I really need to initially focus on the following:
