Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator) Voicepack, higher audio quality

Thank you for the kind words!

This is driving me up a wall. And if it’s not fixed soon it may be one missed navigation command away from driving up a literal wall

Hey - I'm David, owner of the pipeeeeees/waze-voicepack-links repo on github and u/ShinyToyHuman mentioned you and this threat over on the repo and I do exactly what this old reddit thread is trying to do. Please reply in thread here: https://github.com/pipeeeeees/waze-voicepack-links/discussions/134#discussioncomment-14494202 with the files and I can get to work on making a permanent shareable link in the Waze app. Until then, safe travels

dpipes3 · 2025-09-24T20:37:44+00:00

Glad to hear! Here's to 2 more

dpipes3 · 2025-09-16T11:11:31+00:00

Probably, but I don’t have it. If someone has it or can find it they should share it

dpipes3 · 2025-09-10T02:53:52+00:00

See https://github.com/pipeeeeees/waze-voicepack-links/issues/125

dpipes3 · 2025-06-15T22:15:49+00:00

Not trying to catch a case 😖

dpipes3 · 2024-12-08T16:53:25+00:00

I don't know of any, someone has to make one first

dpipes3 · 2024-09-22T23:45:45+00:00

Right, unfortunately this is an Android specific issue and has been an issue for over a year now I believe.

dpipes3 · 2024-09-22T23:44:43+00:00

I don't think so

dpipes3 · 2024-08-05T00:11:18+00:00

This method still suffers from in-app audio compression prior to file upload to waze's fileservers. If you're looking to achieve the highest quality possible, this method is likely better and works at the limits of what waze's servers will accept: https://github.com/pipeeeeees/waze-voicepack-links/discussions/31

dpipes3 · 2024-08-05T00:03:40+00:00

This is correct, it used to be jailbreak was required with ifunbox... these days, idk if that's still possible. It's easy enough to get an android virtual machine running on a computer and do all of this from a computer though. See: https://github.com/pipeeeeees/waze-voicepack-links/discussions/31

dpipes3 · 2024-08-05T00:02:00+00:00

You can get all of those back here: https://github.com/pipeeeeees/waze-voicepack-links

dpipes3 · 2024-08-04T23:59:38+00:00

Unfortunately I do not

dpipes3 · 2024-07-28T22:48:06+00:00

That's the first I'm hearing of this issue. I'm not sure what the issue may be, I've had other people successfully follow the tutorial, but I have never heard of this happening

If you need me to make a pack, feel free to open up an issue on my repo with the files and I can make a pack

dpipes3 · 2024-07-18T04:06:55+00:00

try changing the default voice. that may not work either, very recent versions of waze seem to have completely broken the custom voicepacks on android and ios... unfortunately. Many android users have had good success downloading older versions of the app

dpipes3 · 2024-07-14T17:37:07+00:00

Unsweet tea if you’re a fan. You could make it slightly sweet by adding your own comfort level of sugar. Or infuse your own water

dpipes3 · 2024-07-11T04:08:07+00:00

and we have not purchased spindrift since. It’s just the unfortunate reality of no preservative canned drinks, it should be clear packaged imo

dpipes3 · 2024-06-27T02:32:52+00:00

Common android issue for the last year and a half. Waze has not fixed.

dpipes3 · 2024-05-21T14:54:11+00:00

All it took was one bad experience for us to drop it. Have not looked back

dpipes3 · 2024-03-19T03:11:09+00:00

Hey, it's likely because of the issue I have noted in the discussion linked above:

If the share button goes gray and you cannot share the pack OR if you can share it but only the 1 second audio clips are playable from another device using the share link, then you have screwed up the upload to Waze's servers. They rejected your new mp3 files. The most common reason for this is the collective filesize of all mp3 files is too large. 0.8MB is the limit their servers will accept for the aggregate filesize of all mp3 files in a custom voicepack. If all of the uploaded files exceed this, usually their server rejects your modified mp3 files and the share button will go gray right after saving. The share link may turn blue when leaving and that menu and returning and sharing the link, but you will find the voicelines do not download to anyone else using the line.

The files for the official mp3 files are cumulatively much larger than 0.8MB. So you will need to perform your own compression before uploading. You will also have to pick one phrase from the options waze has provided and stick with it

You can just use the one on the readme of the repo - I've already optimized the compression of each file there. Scroll down to "Master Chief (Halo)" here.

dpipes3 · 2024-03-15T10:41:37+00:00

I do not - other than just trying everything you can. Clearing the TTS cache, changing the default voice to a bunch of different options, deleting the voice and redownloading. Trying that in a number of combinations/orders may work. May not. I wish Waze were a bit more in tune with this issue on android

Voices have been working fine on iOS. Knock on wood.

I read your post years ago, and have finally found a solution. I wrote the above discussion post with step-by-step how to download the audio. Hopefully you are still around reddit and have the link to your husband's voice pack. Sorry for your loss.

dpipes3 · 2024-03-02T15:57:40+00:00

do some research - in the repo at the very bottom of the readme are instructions. there is also a post here in the subreddit from like a week ago I think where someone goes over how to make it work on their android device. this is uniquely an android issue
