It works on my X but does not replace "Ok Google Now" with touchless controls. Hotword must be turned on in settings.
My Moto X hasn't had the actual google hot word working since November. The nova launcher hot word works great on my Nexus 10

Action Launcher Pro also got same update.
I don't understand. How is this different from "OK Google Now" that is built-in to the Moto X? I am using Apex for several month without any issues with the hotword.
Or is the ingenuity here that you have to say one word less, Nexus 5 style?

It's for those who DON'T have a moto x and use Nova. But there are some advantages still.
Touchless controls doesn't recognize nicknames such as "call my wife, call my girlfriend, call "nickname associated with contact" So if you're just on your phone you can use the google hotword.
Unfortunately I my google hotword is disabled and turning off touchless control doesn't bring it back nor is the option available in google now settings to enable.
^^Basically yes, but also if you are on your unlocked homescreen with Nova Launcher you can say "Ok Google" without touching anything as well.
I was using Google search 3.2 after uninstalling version 3.4, which took hotword detection away, hotword works fine with 3,2. It all seems moot now though after installing Android 4.4.3 today. With the install it updated Google Search to 3.4 and there is no way that I see to uninstall updates to Google Search anymore in Android 4.4.3, the Android update took the option "uninstall updates" away from Google search.
So if anyone wants hotword to work on your X don't update to 4.4.3 and keep Google Search on version 3.2. That is until an update to search might fix the issue?
can both be used at the same time?¿?¿ I can´t configure ok google when I use Moto aplication for voice commands...

I don't think so. Only one can be used at a time.

someone commented than if Moto is configured, if Moto doesn´t understand what you say, Ok google with respond, and it works!!!
but you don´t have to use "Ok google", you have to use "Ok Moto X" and from Moto Voice command say anything you would say to google now, then Moto will transfer automatically to google now
Great!!:good::good:
Unfortunately, once you activate the "Talk to me Minion" moto voice command phrase, the phone stops listening to the default "Ok Google" from any screen but is fully functional by using the Moto command personalized phrase... tiny bit slower to reply but great functionality
Long story short, I've been trying to use Tasker to launch the Google Voice Search overlay whenever Moto Voice is activated. It works relatively well, though it doesn't work when Moto Voice is launched while the screen is off. Moto Voice launches but Google Voice Search never overrides it.
I would use the built in feature from the Google App but it doesn't work while the screen is off like Moto Voice does.
I recall there being an xposed module called "okgooglenowtriggerintent" that would help with this on the Moto x 2013. Does anyone know if it still works or if there's an alternative to it?
Thanks in advance!
Hey guys
I like the moto voice trick but I find google app voice commands to be more responsive and especiallly working better offline I mean for exemple I wasn't able to set alarm offline in moto app while I could in google app
But "Ok google" won't work while the screen is locked so is there anyway to make it work while device is locked or to make moto app work better offline?? Thx in advance
the option is built into settinga to make google now work at the lock screen. If you meant screen off, googling for ok google screen off and installing the first result (the app) gets you there
Has anyone received the Google Assistant update yet? It was suppose to role out yesterday. Just wondering since the default for this phone is Moto assistant if we will get it or not.
Love the Nougat update

I installed the "Play Services Info" app by weberdo and used it to download Google Play Services version 10.2.99 (440-148249840) from APK Mirror. After a couple of reboots and disabling Moto Voice, Google Assistant became active. I had to touch the microphone icon, and after a couple of tries, it went into "configure" mode and learned my voice. Now working fine.

Didn't work for me. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait.

Interestingly, for me, even while running on play services 10.2.98, I had all the assistant settings in the google app, and even paired it with my smartthings account, but alas, voice search is still going to the old style search. Updated to 10.2.99 and still seeing the same behavior. I didn't even know we were getting assistant, and was quite excited when I saw the settings, so when it didn't work, of course I got unreasonably upset. oh well

Alright, I let it sit for a couple hours, and it's working now. Though, still can't launch it from the microphone button in the google app or the google search bars on the home screens. That still launches the old voice search. Have to long touch the home button or use the "ok google" launch phrase. It's a shame it can't use the always-on mic from moto voice though.
I'm seeing some similar things. Google Assistant came down to my phone automatically. Set up the OK Google voice command. Seems to work fine when launching from the mic button on the assistant, but will not respond to always on mic when the phone is idle.
You do have to disable Moto Voice, or change the voice phrase to something other than OK Google. Phone still responds to Moto Voice command on idle, but not OK Google.
Yea, so unless there's a software update for Moto Voice, we're likely not going to get the always-on mic to work with assistant. There's a dedicated processor on the SoC that handles the always-on mic, and it's tied directly to Moto Voice. Moto voice really doesn't do a whole lot other than listen for the launch phrase. Everything after that point is basically handed off to Google Voice search. It really should be quite a easy fix (pass the requests onto assistant instead of voice search), but I doubt that will happen.

I woke up this morning and I finally got the assistant. just an FYI
I got it too. However, while it unlocks the phone when locked and the screen being on, it will not wake the phone when saying ok google. You hear the sound prompt that it heard you, but nothing ever follows up and the screen stays black
