I researched the mount command in the first line and found the syntax to be slightly off.  Try this below instead, it worked for me:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

it seems the remount and rw commands were accidentally placed on the wrong sides of the comma.  Hope it works for you.

i tried everything, i keep getting force closes. this is getting fustrating. its like the more i cant hav it, the more i want it.

I managed to replace the voicedialer.apk file without using adb.  I used Root Explorer, and everything works fine without a "force close".  With a rooted file manager, you can mount the filesystem as RW and just cut and paste files.  Be careful when you paste files thought that the permissions match those of the target folder.  I had a lot of FC until I changed the permissions.

Correct method, as I found (need to be sure to remount /system read only) else risk keeping your /system folder writable = bad thing.

Via Terminal:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm VoiceDialer.apk
cp /sdcard/VoiceDialer.apk VoiceDialer.apk
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
reboot

Via adb shell:
adb devices
adb remount
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm VoiceDialer.apk
cp /sdcard/VoiceDialer.apk VoiceDialer.apk
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
reboot

Attached voice dialer from CM6.0.0-RC3 too

Confirmed that this fixes said problem! Thanks!

I found that the dialer would close after being started if you didn't make sure that the permissions were correctly set after the .apk file was copied to the /system/app directory.

i noticed this too, so how do you fix the permissions?

I'm really lazy, so I paid for a file manager program that would let me do it through a GUI.  I used Root Explorer.  You should be able to do it with "chmod" from the command line in the terminal.  Unfortunately I've never been very good with the octal permissions, so I can't give you any insight on the correct settings.  A GUI makes it really easy, just make the pattern of checkboxes match the other files in the directory.

actually, i reflashed cm6 with gapps, followed the terminal emulator commands and is work great now. i just flashed now gapps, on the phone, opened the rc 3 on my pc cut out the voicedialer apk and put it in the root of my sd card, and followed those terminal commands. those commannds delete the original already installed, the install the one you have in ur sd card. im surprised it worked, but it did. everything is perfect. cm 6 with a functioning voice dialer.

Not trying to be contrary but I found that this was not needed (at least in my case).   I will note that I did the change via ADB and not on the phone's terminal (should be identical either way though).

Just want to say thanks to you guys for the instructions on fixing the voicedialer issue.  Followed the commands, save and except didn't see the "period" after the cp voicedialer.apk command but figured it out.  Added the ro command per Jim's suggestion as it made real good sense.

Thanks to everyone!
