Using CM 13 (28/04 build). One thing that is bugging me out for sometime, which is 'Ok google' detection from any screen is missing in Google Now settings.
On stock 6.0, Moto Voice serves as a back-end to Google Now search. So it kinda works from any screen and even if the screen is off.
So yeah, if anyone has any work around for it to act like 'always listening' , do tell. I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
No reply? ?
same here, ok google not working on NX ROM and RR ROM...i've tried in both, it does not works from any screen or with screen off....it only works from the google app itself
I'm on RR rom
i guess it has something to do with the google apps....which gapps you're using ? i'm using nano gapps
I have the same problem too. I am on NX Rom, NX Gapps.
I am using Micro Gapps. I will try Stock Nexus gapps from OpenGapps.

Tried the Stock Nexus Gapps. Sadly, no it didn't work out. I heard a lot of devices are missing 'ok google from anywhere' option in google now launcher settings ,including the famous Nexus 5X. Recently the update to google app broke it. I hope it works in the future though.
Some also say, Google disabled 'always on' feature to save up battery and people were accusing Google of spying on users through that function.
I gave up, may be I will return to Stock 6.0 (Moto Voice FTW! ?) , may be not. [emoji4]

Google is blocking this app. now.
All the search commands and queries go through a separate server which appears to me a lot shady, not to mention all those permissions one has to provide after installing the app.
Last but not the least it's a battery hog. It eats up battery like hell cause of triggering so many wake locks so many times.

yeah you can give it a shot if you're on a custom rom, it doesn't matter even if you're not on a custom rom, just don't use GNL use some other launcher like nova and delete GNL if you have root access then install nova launcher and should work fine

yes that's the problem, google has disabled this maybe in the future updates it will be there again like it was and that's why i'm using open mic+ without any issues, you can set custom phrase like moto voice and also works on lockscreen or even if the screen is off and its really fast, but don't use open mic+ with google now launcher, it won't be accurate or it won't response that well, if you are rooted and have Google Now Launcher installed i suggest you to delete GNL and use nova launcher instead
here's the apk of open mic+ and use it with nova launcher and delete google now launcher

Hey folks,
I thought you guys would be interested in this blog I came across:
TINYURLDOTCOM /l6xafk4
I just tried the instructions (although had to tweak them slightly as I'm using TWRP) and I now have OK Google detection while not giving up the phone's understanding of my native tongue! (I found US english struggled with my pronunciation).
I figure this is pretty safe as it's easy to rollback, just delete the en-GB folder after and I assume everything is back to normal. For TWRP you don't need so many of the commands, you can mount within TWRP, and reboot within TWRP. Although I recommend an NANDROID backup first!

Is it just me or does OK GOOGLE not work at all on other launchers? I use Nova Prime and... nope. When I switch to default launcher, works fine.

The OK Google works fine on all launchers but on the homescreen it only works with the default Google GEL/Velvet launcher.
What does that mean... "works on all launchers" but on the homescreen etc...
contradictory?
Did it via Root Explorer, took about 10 seconds, and job done.

Your original post says "does OK GOOGLE not work at all on other launchers". The answer to that is yes it works on all launchers. I am using nova and if I open up the Google search app and say OK Google it activates voice search. However the feature where you can say OK Google on the homescreen because GEL is 'always listening' is not possible on other launchers.
Is that better?
Finally I can use "OK Google" and... it's totally unuseful! I have to be on homescreen to use it, at just 1 click on the mic icon. I thought I could use with display off, or at least at the lockscreen...
Brilliant! I now have English... err... English! Google Now is a revelation. It works! Thank you

Yeah it's not really useful at all, just a gimmick. Nice to have though, I guess.
I've also noticed this does more than just enable the hotword, I'm now getting updates for previous searches, which is a US only feature.
Wroks great with french from onmirom , Thank you
I've noticed that now I can't download offline language Spanish in Google Now options... can you?

Which Search version, please?
I really enjoy stock, and am on Pacman ROM right now, I've tried CyanogenMod and a few others and feel like I missing out on something.
My question is, is there anyway to make it so I don't have to use the Google now launcher to see the google now swipe left screen, or use The "OK Google" voice search function?

Hi,
Running on epic pro rom, latest instalment. Everything stable so far. But I can't get GA working properly. I'm on Google app beta, play services beta, cache cleared, English language.
The settings in Google app even look like it's installed. But I can't open it with "ok, google" (voice trained ok) and when I long press home nothing happens...
Anybody got it running?
Thx

Only got it working with xposed and GA module. Trying​ lineage OS it works but not from locked phone.
Just to be clear. With xposed and assistant enabler module you got it working from screen off? Cause I tried the said module in the mentioned ROM and it ain't working at all...

using xposed assistant enabler, i didn't make it work from screen-off without charger plugged in. tried several times, since the guide to enable it is tricky.
I am pretty sure it is a limitation of the chipset.
I had this same problem. I scratched my head after looking at the logs. The reason why it doesn't work is because the GMS (and other?) Google APKs were located on /data and not /System.
Move it to /system and it should work.

Can't remember properly what I did but definitely worked, MIUI tweak I think is also needed so you can properly add trusted voice.

Oops signed in with Google+
Working for me on the global rom from screen on. Go to the google app, settings, voice, "ok google" detection. Train it, if you havent, and enable the top two options (the third will then be enabled by default). Then, never open that section again. The next time you open it, it will switch back off - but it should be working if you enable the options then exit the google app. Works for me, even survives a reboot.
After 3 weeks of use, it takes this time to have the Nex3 in good shape, I still have some minor problems like Edison Mail It does not show the number of unread emails in the icon, Twitter freezes when you try to open a link in Brave ...
But the most annoying thing is that Google Assistant does not work well. When I invoke it saying "ok Google" with the unlocked phone sometimes works and sometimes not. I have checked the voiceprint, permissions, I have installed Google services ... Any idea what may be failing?
For me google assistant works fine. No Problems Here. Only Google Pay wont work.
For the not showing Numbers try to change the permissions within the system. I need to manually change it for popups and notifications. The vivo Launcher Blocks anything.

Is the launcher still something like bbk.launcher in adb? I remember doing that with my original nex. I really like this phone so far and having Nova I'd be a happy man haha

yeah you have to remove the stock one after had installed third party one .
You can always re-enable the stock one by using adb . Just tried successfully...

Awesome!!! Well I know what I'm doing when I get home.
Now I just have to figure out my other issue, I can't get this phone to cast to my Chromecast which is weird
Is google pay working for anyone? and are there any apps that don't work or work correctly?
Anyone notice on their new pixel that the new assistant is not working? The assistant is Still the old one, which you'd need to keep squeezing or repeat the hey google phrase.
What language are you using? It didn't work for me when set to English (UK), but works when set to English(US). It seems it is limited to English(US) at the moment.
Also cannot be used with a GSuite account, has to be a personal Google account.
I've switch to english US and have always used a personal Gmail account. Not sure why it's not working. Might just wait for google to fix the damn thing.

Where are you from? It is U.S. exclusive. Not just the language setting English(US). Don't know if you knew that. I'm from germany and I won't get it until they open it for us...
I got my phone yesterday (in the UK) and once I set it the assistant to us US English it installed an update and just works using the new assistant style, so it's not U.S. exclusive in that sense. Thankfully they've also added UK English voices for the assistant to use when talking back (when set to U.S.)

I'm from Australia, but has set the language not english US, still no luck
After giving up a few times, I notice that I was missing the google home app. After downloading the home app, in settings there were an option under continue conversation where you can enable or disable "shared devices". I disable that option and, What do you know, after squeezing the phone for the assistant, it automatically update itself to the new assistant. Hope this help others too.
set to english US and it updated and works
in settings > assistant > languages
not language and region.
Any way to get continuous conversation to work without the gestures?
I don't use it
I just got off chat with Google rep and they told me it's a known issue that they are trying to fix.

Go to settings, search "continued", and toggle the option. Works with squeeze, "Hey, Google", or tapping the assistant icon on the search widget.

Oh! My bad. Didn't realize that was necessary. I read gestures and was thinking Motion Sense gestures. [emoji2359]
I know Android is all about options and all and sucks that it's not an option for the button based navigation but why not use gestures? It's very fluid and quick.

Sorry to hijack the thread but is anyone else having issues with the squeeze for assistant feature? Mine seems very temperamental.
If I leave my phone locked for a bit, then lift it, it unlocks and the squeeze is not working. I then have to tap on the power button to lock it again, unlock and it starts working again.
