[Q] S for Switch Voice on S5? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have conflicting reports whether S for Switch Voice would work on the S5 or not.
Because of the uncertainty, I have temporarily removed S5 from the list of supported devices, but if it does work I would put it back quickly.
I posted the app here for download. Could you test it for on your device? Send me a PM, and I will get you the APK. Thanks for your help!

BTW This is S for Switch Voice:
Whenever (and however) you launch S Voice , S for Switch Voice will switch to Google Voice Search instead:
►Voice wake up (Say "Hi Galaxy" with screen off)
►Double tap on the Home key (turn on "Home key" button and adjust monitoring sensitivity)

[Q] Home button Voice command

Is there a way to turn off the Voice command from coming up when i double tap home? putting the phone in and out of my pocket does it every once in a while. it is somewhat of an inconvenience. Thanks for any reply
Your answer lies in settings - applications. Double tap home is in there
Sent from my DROID PRO using XDA App
Hit Pro Menu button>Settings>Applications...at the bottom should be "Double Tap home launch...choose any application on the list other than Voice Commands...
I've had that happen to me too...the lady's voice saying "please wait" will wake you up...
aaaaaannnnnnd db beat me to it!

How can I get rid of the "beep" in S-voice?

I am using S for Switch voice in order to use Google Now, but would like to get rid of the initial alert S-voice gives when you double tap the home button.
Also open to other suggestions that I could use Google now without losing touchwiz.
Thanks!

Is there a way to launch Voice Search by holding the home button...

without losing other home button functionality such as double tap to launch camera and the triple tap ability?
Currently it does Now On Tap and you have to say the launch phrase to do a voice search but I'd like if it just went straight to voice search. I'm able to do that but I haven't found an app that can do that and still keep the camera quick launch ability.
Triple tap?

You can set triple tap to make it so that the screen shrinks down for easier 1 handed use, I didn't specify though since I couldn't remember what it's called.
@ohmimpotence , did you find a way to set long press to Voice Search? On my old S4 double tap launched voice search, with help of app called Home2Shortcut, I was able to switch it from s-voice to google. I assumed they made it long press on S7 since double press is camera, and there is button for app switcher. I would really like to get to Google voice search by long home press, straight from sleep mode. It is very handy while driving.

Long press home button google assistant function

Hello guys,
i have stock P9 Lite, and the one thing that is driving me crazy is the Home long press button Google assistant pop-up. I Know you can turn off the assistant application by switching it to "none" under help and phone input in the phone settings, i did that, the fucntion got disabled successfully, but after couple of hours ( usually during the night ) it magically comes back to be turned on again....
Should i disable somewhere something more also?
Thanks

Personally i am using Swipeup Utility (sorry no link new user can't link) . You can set it at the long press handler and then you set it to do no action (or select one of custom actions)
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...ndroid-device-switch-back-google-now-0174676/ try this if can help you
You have to set the custom action "Google Now On Tap" to long press home button, it will open google assistant because now on tap was replaced by assistant.
Disable google app

easy way to do print screen and disable "place finger to unlock" stage

I keep trying to do a print screen by pressing the rear power button and volume down but its very difficult as most times the volume just goes down. never had such an issue with the g4 I had
another thing is double tapping and going in through the draw password.
when double tap the screen it doesnt give you the option to draw the password. I have to swipe first then I can draw the password which is a pita. any way to enable a double tap to go straight to draw password option? why dont this people test these things?
how the hell do I disable google assistant crap "ok google" ?
1. easiest to do the screenshot with the VOL- button just before power.
2. No.
3. not sure as i like assisstant.
@rocketman1 I keep trying to do a print screen by pressing the rear power button and volume down but its very difficult as most times the volume just goes down. never had such an issue with the g4 I had
This one can be easier, you can use the quick memo ( Aka Capture + Plus )options and it will take screenshots for you, as i believe holding Vol down will do the quick memo screen shot if its on in the settings under ( Shortcut Keys)

This is to keep your code from accidentally being put in during pocked use if it turns on. I dont believe it can be shut off without some bigger edits to systemui

disable the google app from your app settings.

Or just disable the Google Assistant, if you prefer:
Here's how to disable Google Assistant:
1. Open Google app
2. Tap on Menu (three lines) on top left
3. Tap Settings
4. Under Google Assistant, tap Settings
5. Scroll halfway down the menu, and voila! A toggle to turn the Assistant off.
2. Funny, coming from the G3 I had similar questions. Not sure I need to swipe before entering knock code. Worked fine without on the G3. At least you can knock directly with the screen off, bypassing this, but sometimes I turn on my screen to see the notifications and the extra swipe is an annoyance.
3. Unfortunately if you disable it in the settings, then you lose the "Ok Google" from Google Now. Instead it just prompts you to turn Google Assistant back on. Similarly, if you turn on Google Assistant but don't give it Web & App Activity + Device Information data (which is every app switch you do, every movement of your phone or touch of the screen), then it takes your question but then just *****es at you.
Only workaround I've found for now (probably won't last forever) is to set your keyboard language to English US Virgin Islands, a region where Google Assistant is not yet supported. You might need the root app Language Enabler or some other method to enable that language. Hopefully someone finds a better resolution.
