[Q] Working Google now in launchers. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, i'd seen from a long time now that there is no provision for the working of google's 'ok google' in lauchers like Nova, Apex etc.

Yep. Only the Google Experience Launcher ( GEL ) has the 'ok google' option. Where you speak and it 'listens'.

[Q] getting 'Ok Google' going

I've got the 4.4 OTA installed, updated google search, sideloaded GEL and all looks nice...but no 'ok Google' working for me yet....is there a setting somewhere? ...or is this feature one of the Nexus 5 only juicy bits? its this that I really want!!
Ignore me..I've sorted it (set the language to US in ggogle now)

OK Google Everywhere not working for me?

I can not get ok google to work from the home screen/lock screen/etc. Google search never gives me that option in the settings. I have tried different roms does anyone else have this issue?

Have you tried, Setting - Language and Input - Voice Search - Ok Google Detection.
Also in Nova, OK Google - Enable hotword.

[Q] Google now always on feature doesnt work..

The feature is just grayed out, any help?
Same deal when I updated my N910K, spent a few days trying to get it happening, no result. So I've gone on to using Utter, great little app.

I'm specifically looking for a way to make Google now work, but I'll go ahead and give this a try anyway thanks

Set English US as a language and try again.
Well, this is what fixed it for me (SM-N910F, German Lollipop ROM) though it still doesn't work with the screen off, for me at least.
1) In Settings -> Application manager -> All, find "S Voice". Disable it.
2) Reboot
3) "OK Google" settings are now enabled (and stay that way)
I have set it as US English

Easy! Download google now launcher slide to the left you will see google now feed like the flipboard feed on touchwiz. Go google now settings go to voice and activate google now when screen is off. It works! Then you can uninstall google now launcher if you like.

Autovoice and Google Now - It looks like your AutoVoice account is not yet linked

I am on a Galaxy S8 and Android 7.0.
Following this guidance, http://lifehacker.com/how-to-create-custom-voice-commands-with-tasker-and-aut-1282209195, I installed Tasker and AutoVoice. Google app already installed. I enabled Autovoice accessibility service and AutoVoice Google Now integration.
OK Google is enabled on all screens.
However, when I say "OK Google, use Autovoice" Google consistantly comes back with "It looks like your AutoVoice account is not linked yet." How do I do this?
When I run AutoVoice Testing with my trigger words, they work. I have another 6.0 Android device where all this (Tasker, Autovoice, Google Now) works seamlessly.
Is there some other step required for S8 / Android 7.0 go get AutoVoice integrated with Google Now?

There is a difference between using the Google now voice search and using Google assistant. The running service is for Google now. The screenshot you posted is of Google assistant, in which you have to be apart of the Google + community for the app in order for it to work.
If you're just looking for basic usage, use Google now voicesearch and not Google assistant

Thank you very much! This is the first clue I've been handed to the source of my problem. You are right. On my px5 head unit, there are no settings for Google Assistant. On my S8, there are. However, I don't know why they are there, or how to disable Google Assistant without disabling OK Google. When I disable GA and speak "OK Google", it immediately asks me to turn GA back on to respond. Do you know how I can resolve this? Again, thanks!

Never mind. I found it: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...ndroid-device-switch-back-google-now-0174676/
Problem is, don't have root on Galaxy S8. Google REALLY needs to give us the option for something like this instead of forcing it down our throats whether we like it or not!!!

You should be able to do it with a shortcut. I use Nova launcher and just use the voice search shortcut and it uses Google now. Or if you have a Google search bar on your screen with the mic in it, that should default to Google voice search and not assistant

Whoa! You're right again! Pressing mic in Google search bar allows me to speak autovoice trigger I set up -- and it works! Mucho thanks!

No problem man. I use tasker, autovoice, and autoremote religiously haha. Too much home automation and laziness not to utilize them. You should look into the natural language it can now use. Takes a while to understand and set up, but after that, it's much better than regular recognize

I'm having fun, and pulling my hair out, just trying to get this going right now. At least twice this week I was in my car (head unit not installed yet) and really wanted to send time sensitive messages on my s8 using Google Voice. I don't text and drive, religiously. But being able to say "google voice text so-and-so" would have been quite useful.
One last, final question: I've been learning tasker/autovoice on a rooted px5. Just got this galaxy s8 and, of course, it's not rooted. Looks like I shell commands a lot in my profiles, particularly "input keyword" and "input text".
So, if I want to send %avcommnofilter as response to app, do you recommend autoinput for that?

FINALLY! This is how you link AutoVoice (or any 3rd party app) to Google Assistant: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/websearch/HwJUpkrHPr4/xIJACIlEAwAJ
So, you have to say "OK, Google, ask Autovoice to...." followed by your AutoVoice command. Still wish I could just say "OK, Google" then command, but this will do for now.

android 10, one ui 2 - Google Now?

anyone know if there's a way to get Google now (or discover or whatever it's called now) instead of the bixby home while still using gestures given that none have the third party launchers work correctly yet with them?
I definitely don't mind using the one UI launcher I just really want Google now.
I have had the same as you have not been able to get my Google now working since I got on Android 10 I use bixby only for certain things like turning on GPS and Bluetooth and things like that I want Google for everything else
It's work just not all the time I have to scream at my phone for it to work.

I am using Nova Pro and it works fine. They said that gestures weren't working but I enabled them in Nova and they work fine.
