Hi guys,
Is it possible to use Touchless Control integrated with Auto Voice/Tasker? If yes, is there any tutorial or someone can help me to configurate this?
For example, I'd like to say "Ok Google Now" to active Touchless Control and then say an Auto Voice command to do something.

I have yet to set this up myself.

Yes but it requires a module for the xposed framework. I have it set up and it works great!

Thanks! I'll search how to install Xposed.

Hi!
Got a Moto X Dev edition, bootloader unlocked and rooted. Im trying to setup a tasker task to open the stock Motorola "Touchless Controls" app manually(Not using my voice). Closest I've gotten is running a shell script with root enabled with:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.motorola.audiomonitor/.uis.AOVActivity
Which opens the app with no errors, but its unable to pickup my voice.
Any tips?
Just say OK Google now?

I know that, just trying to make AutoVoice launch the Touchless controls so I can use both.
Anyway,
I think I found a way if anyone is looking for the same thing.
Have a Tasker Task to Send Intent:
android.speech.action.VOICE_SEARCH_HANDS_FREE
target: Activity

Thanks, very usefull to launch touchless control. Touchless control voice recognition works better for me and Whats'up command is nice (Launching it from cheap BT headset button)
I'm trying to get Touchless to launch from my car's Bluetooth button. Currently the button just launches the worthless voice dialer.
I tried the task above, but it did nothing. My Tasker skills are pretty basic and I'd really appreciate it if anybody would provide a little more info on how the task should run and how to trigger it.
So from what i can tell phones using DSP chips will be able to use ok google now from stock android. Our Moto X's do use that for the Motorola assist features. Does this mean that android lollipop could help go around moto assist? I don't like the delays that Moto assist comes with, and getting to use Google now through stock would be amazing. They only mention that Nexus 6 and 9, will be able to use it, but i don't see why our phone wouldn't be able to.
It might be able to in theory, but is it possible to disable assist? Havent got the phone so i dont know lol

Yes, assist can be disabled. The problem is because assist and the files for it are installed, it disables one from saying "ok, google" and letting google now take over. Assist needs to be on if you want to do voice related things. Unless I'm missing something, I haven't found a way to allow google now voice commands to work with assist on or off

If you disable Moto Voice, Google Search "Ok Google" will work just fine....
I know if you turn moto assist off it will allow ok google hotword with the google launcher. So hopefully the files that allow lollipop to use dsp chip will be included in the software, so it doesn't have to be integrated into moto voice. Cant wait for Lollipop, had L with my Nexus and coming back to kitkat was like a slap to the face.

I know that on the 2013 X this did not work. There is an internal, hidden config flag in Google Search that lists the devices on which hotword detection is permanently disabled -- meaning that nothing you did to to moto touchless controls would help.
That being said, there is an app out there, UnleashTheGoogle, that will un-hide all of the hidden settings in Google Search and then you can just remove your phone from the blacklist (if the '14 X is in there)
So after the recent Moto Voice update, i can't get the Google Now hot word Detection to work at all. Going into Google Settings to try to train it to listen to me, it won't activate the mic at all to listen to me, completely refuses too. Plus, to top it off, Moto Voice now says "Opening Google" Whenever it is too retarded to be able to do what i want it to with my voice, which is ridiculous. I Force closed Moto Voice, and the google now search bar had the mic showing that it was ready for voice. (The filled in one.) but did not respond to Ok Google, and by the time i went to train it, Moto Voice had restarted. I might try freezing Moto Voice with Titanium and seeing if i can get google now to work then. All in all, this is disappointing as it stands.
Ok! So Freezing the Moto Voice app did it for me. (That or yelling ok google at my phone for 5-10 minutes in the training voice part of Google Now Voice Settings.) Regardless i can activate Ok Google again from any screen. Though, my Google Now Settings includes the check box for google searching from the Lock Screen, it doesn't seem to work. That might come with Lollipop proper... -crosses fingers.
Edit: It will allow it to Google Search from lockscreen , But not with sound off... that is the feature that might come with Lollipop.
Does anyone know of a way to disable Moto Voice and simply use the voice wake to activate Google Now? Perhaps via an Xposed module?
Moto Voice, in it's current iteration is too slow and not value added enough for me to prefer it over Google Now. Plus, if I hear "Opening Google" one more time, I'm going to go crazy.

it's pretty simple: open the Moto App, tap the Settings button on top right, tap the Voice button/icon and uncheck the Launch phrase. you might have to setup up voice activation on Google Now. like you i prefer Google Now for the time being. hope this was helpful.:good:

That will disable the voice wake. I'm looking for a way to jump straight into Google Now anytime I say my Moto Voice launch phrase.
OK, yeah that's different. Interpreted that you wanted to just go to Google Now. With my suggestion, saying "OK Google" takes you to Google Now (vs your moto launch phase).

Do you have the pure edition or carrier? Pure if you root there is a way to do it, if its carrier and locked you can't, sorry. Hopefully Lollipop will make it possible too, Nexus 6 has ambient display to rip off active display, and will use the always listening chip it has to act like moto voice, but built into google now.

Thanks! Now I need to figure out if I want to root my phone now or wait for L and Xposed to run on ART.
Lollipop is supposed to be able to do ok google from screen off with phones using the always listening chips. The nexus 6 and 9 are supposed to use it with theirs. I'm still hoping that our moto's well be able to use it as part of stock android so i don't have to use moto voice at all. Only i don't know if they intend to add custom phrase support, which i could stand losing. Though i concur about ART xposed, that i can't wait for.
Is there a way to get this feature working like it does on the Nex6?
Currently (with all the Moto crap disabled) I can only get this functionality while plugged in.
Did they kill the feature in the lollipop build so we'd be forced to use their junkie Moto Voice hand-off system?

I can't speak for the specific version of Google Search that you have, but for versions on the '13 X, they have hotword detection completely disabled.
It turns out there is an internal flag to blacklist devices from turning on the option. I think more recently the version on the 13 allows hotword but does not allow the "from any screen" nor "while screen is off" options.
You used to be able to edit the flags with "unleash the google" But I don't know of this still works and it no longer maps all the settings to their names (meaning you just see config 1 config 2,etc)
OK Google works from any screen and while device off.
Make sure OK Google Detection is turned ON for any screen and off.
You prefer Google voice search over Moto Voice? Why?

Because the response is much faster without the Moto middleware. I'm pissed that they disabled it. Why shouldn't I have a choice???

Firstly, Merry Christmas Moto X peeps!
Ok so I am grateful for Motorola to include touches control. Love it. But I recently realized that enabling touchless control through Google Now on my Nexus 7 has a way faster hotword detection than the Motorola touchless control way. Unfortunately when I try to disable Touchless control on the Moto X and then enable Google's "Ok, Google" hotword detection the option is greyed out. I'm sure this has been discussed before but I was unable to find the answer. I have an unlocked bootloader, rooted, xposed, running stock 4.4.2. Is anybody aware of a method for enabling the Google Now hotword detection instead of Motorola's Touchless control?

Try UnleashTheGoogle to allow moto x for the hotword detection. This worked for me.

Even if you did switch to it, You'd lose touchless control. It won't work when screen is off.
Also, it will take its share of battery life from you, where moto's touchless control battery drain is minor.
Just food for thought. ?

Great points. Didn't think of it not working when the screen was off. Or the battery drain for that matter. Much appreciated.

I don't know if it will work on screen off as I am still waiting for my moto x to arrive (got one as a secondary device and I am excited about it) but I am pretty sure the google now option to listen is greyed out because you don't have English US set as your system language (it's got to be US if you set it to UK for example it won't work) and then again you may have to set it again through google now options too for it to actually work. Give it a try and tell me how it goes.

I do have mine set to English US, but I have opted to stick with Moto's voice recognition due to the above advice. Thanks for the input though!
