I just updated to MM and lost Moto Assist. Basically, when I get in the car I was setup to automatically read me my SMS messages, or when I got to work to automatically silence my phone. Can this be done without having to install a 3rd party app?
Yes. It took me a while to find it too. Open the moto app, press on the 3 little stars in the upper right, press on voice, press on talk to me and you should see a Drive option there.
There's an app I read and he uploaded the assist app with double chop flash light but I don't know if anyone has that app for MM, I tried to downloaded the assist 2.6.1 apk but it said "assist not compatibe" . Now I don't know what to do to restore that feature unless I downgrade to 5.1.1:crying:

I've encountered a really strange problem on my watch (Samsung Gear Live) lately. Not a single texting app will let me use the "reply" button with voice.
Example: Friend texts me, text pops up on my watch. I swipe it and click "Reply" and try to reply using my voice. The text will write out on my watch screen, but the red Google mic icon just sits there for about 10 seconds as if its still thinking it's receiving input, and then it takes me to the "disconnected/watch is offline" screen.
But the watch is obviously not disconnected: I can exit that app and tap the screen and say "Okay Google" and then say "Text friend 'hi how's it going'" and the text will send without a problem.
I've encountered this error when using Coffee SMS, WearResponses, and Google Messenger. I've reset the watch, and cleared Android Wear data, and the problem still persists. This makes no sense. Any ideas/suggestions?
I have the same problem on my LG G Watch R.
I received the Watch today, the reply function worked once or twice, but now it does the same as yours
My Gear Live is still under warranty so I've sent it in to Samsung. We'll see if they are able to fix it...

Update: So, Samsung just replaced the entire watch for me. I'm setting it up now to see if the problem is fixed. Has anyone with the same problem tried factory resetting their *phone*?
UPDATE 2: Well, crap. It still doesn't work. I'm going to try pairing the watch with a different phone sometime in the near future to see if it's my phone. It's obviously not the watch.
Out of curiosity, what version of the Google Search app do you have installed?

Okay, I got it working. Obviously, there's probably some degree of magical Googleness that happened, too, but here's what I did:
Background: I had Google 5 installed from the Android M preview, and I had also previously sideloaded a newer version of Google Play Services (still compatible with my phone, of course)
1. Booted watch into recovery; factory reset several times.
2. Meanwhile, uninstalled updates to Google Play Services, and then download update from the Play Store
3. In the Play Store, uninstall updates for Google App (Google Search), then update from the Play Store
4. Turn on watch, pair with phone, and then pray over it
5. Test out an app (I use Coffee SMS), text yourself, and try replying to it. It might tell you that "Google Play Services must be installed" - I rebooted my phone and then manually connected the watch via the Android Wear app, and then tested it and it worked.
YMMV.
Thanks for keeping us up to date
I too, was finally able to get it corrected, but mine was a bit easier. The only real difference between what you first described and my situation - was that I am using the LG Urbaine Watch with the new LG G4. LIke you (and someone else) it worked a few times and I was thinking that would be my most used feature. Later - it stopped working and my research began. I thought it might have something to do w/ my loading up the LG Call companion app - but after taking that off - it still didn't work. Finally, a good friend of mine that is an Android lover - suggested I switch from the Verizon Message plus application - to the generic one provided by LG. As soon as we made the switch - the Text message response option appeared again. In fact, in addition the reply arrow - I also could see a full list of the conversation with that particular party. Very happy in making that little change.
Hey guys,
After moving from stock to cm there are some features that I missed a bit.
The Moto Voice is one of them:
Yesterday I managed to install the Moto Voice app directly from the Playstore to my Moto X 2014 (xt1092). I tried the same with several devices but none of them can see it on the Playstore.
You might want to see if you're able to download it but there is an issue (as always ^^), the app is installed and running but doesn't react to anything, I'll join some screen shots to let you see that.
As you can see on the screen shots other features like assist or action are working.
There might be some way to fix the problem of Moto Voice, I'll continue to try to find a fix and I'll share with you the progress of the work.
You can also try to find a fix on your way too that would be a big help
Hit the thanks button if you would like to see Moto Voice coming to our Moto X running CyanogenMod
Hope I've helped you

Moto Voice works with the low power processor and needs support in the kernel and I think that is not in the public domain so difficult if not impossible to make work. Install the Google Now Launcher and "Ok, Google" comes pretty close to what Moto Voice does and everything it does do is a few seconds faster than Moto Voice (because most of what Moto Voice does, it just passes to Ok, Google anyway.)
Motorola is dropping Moto Assist in Marshmallow so that won't be a consideration in the future.
All of the Moto Actions are supported in CM 12.1 in Settings->Gestures.

Yeah the best thing with Moto Voice was that it runs in background even while the screen is off, and yeah, it makes sense that it is run by the low power processor ^^.
I didn't know Motorola was was going to drop moto assist, that's pretty sad, also its pity that at the time Motorola was Google and that haven't made a fully open source Smartphone :/
Well thanks for illuminate on that issue
Moto Assist , is another app which is already disabled in my MotoG
as Moto app will have the Assist integrated in it already; it will be unncessary to put again Moto Assist APK seperately , so the MotoAssist APK which used to be earlier is being removed
i am on MotoG i am currently seaching for MotoVoice , and i found this thread.. hope you find the solution bro all the best
if you can help me .. please visit this thread and see it bro

Hey everyone,
I just bought my Moto X Pure just yesterday (long time wanting...but being a dad forces you to wait for what you want), and I noticed when I initially started my phone which was at Lollipop I had all 4 options in the Moto "See What I Can Do" section (Assist, Actions, Voice, Display). When I let the phone update to MM I noticed when I came back to that screen the Assist option was gone. I'm thinking, ok let's try deleting the data of the Moto app and that should fix it....false. Then I tried factory resetting the phone thinking that would do it...false. I've no other options, PlayStore shows the moto assist framework is installed, and the latest version of the app i'm seeing is 4.0.21.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Device: Fire HD10(2017)
OS: Fire OS 5.6.0.0
I followed instructions from a youtube video to and am not able to install Google account manager and Google Play Store, 'Install' button gray. I was able to get Google Services and Google Play services installed. Found this thread: [HOW-TO] Install Google Play Store (Fire OS 5.X) (No Root/PC/ADB) and thinking I installed out of order, video had order of 'Services Framework, 'Play Servcies', 'Account Manager' and 'Play Store'. I'm thinking I installed in wrong order OR fire os 5.6 is stopping the install of account manager and play store.
Any ideas?
you can install as in order or as you did with the code. my problem is the same as yours. after the update to the 5.6 the install is gray out. So the solution i found is to set the BLUE SHADE on and then step by step do the following:
download the file and click open then the INSTALL still gray out. DUN CLOSE the window.
Just download other such as play services or account manager n repeat the same click open n leave it.
then you can switch between the screen where there is INSTALL gray out. for some reason after switching back n forth you can click on INSTALL.
Hope that help
An even easier work around is to just use to power button to put the tablet to sleep then wake it and unlock, the install button will become active.

Why the hell is Amazon doing this with that latest update? I know, they want their customers to be stuck on the Amazon platform, but still... It really sucks to be forced to search tricks in order to be able to install apks... I'm planning to buy a Fire HD 10 because I know some tricks allow the installation of the Play Store. If it really becomes impossible, I won't buy...

I followed these steps and got the software installed.... too bad I didn't think it through and just put the tablet to sleep. But either way, thanks for your help!
Can anyone check and see if these methods still work? Because I just tried and I can't seem to get it done.
Guys hello,

I just got the HD 10 on Black Friday and can not install the google stuff no way, no how. I've tried all of the published tricks and still have grayed out buttons. Aholes! Mine is going back in the box. It is a shame because it looks to be a nice tablet.
So using the square window button (like you're going to switch to a new app) works like a charm to get the install button to where is not greyed out but you have to scroll all the way down on the permissions/install page first.
But has anyone figured out how to get it to work in the freetime/child profile yet? Still can't find a way to get it to stop being greyed out. The power button/sleep then unlock does not appear to work for this.

Having the same problem as this. Any luck with a workaround?
works for me as of Dec 1st 2017
I had the same problem with the install button not responding/being greyed out after initially turning on the device and trying to install the apks. I just powered the device down and back up and downloaded the apk again, then scrolled all the way down to the point where the next button turns into the install button, then hit the install button and it worked fine.
Grey install issue solved
Go to settings, apps & games, on collect app ussage data turn it off. Install button should be enabled.
As of November 16th 2017, Amazon tablets had a new firmware that improves performance, notifications on status bar, and much more! But, the bad thing is, is that the install button to get apk files that aren't from the appstore is greyed out and cannot be installed! But there is a solution and thanks to a YouTube video I found by "liliputing", I am able to get unknown apk's installed successfully. Here are three ways to do it:
First method is to put the device into sleep mode and unlock it, go to the apk you wanted to download, and BOOM!
Second way, switch app and switch back to the app you're using to get an apk installed.
Finally, go to settings, go to security, and turn unknown sources off and back on.

While these techniques were previously surfaced they are sure to receive more attention due to the appropriately titled thread. Thanks!
Thank you, I hope you managed to get the apk's you wanted!
It seems this APK sideloading bug is a AOSP bug specific to 5.1 Lollipop caused by the October security patches - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/67884224
Hopefully it'll get fixed in a future update at some point.

Track down a Bluetooth or USB OTG keyboard. Once attached you should be able to navigate to the install button via tab key. Once highlighted it should activate via enter/return key.
Also make sure Blue Shade is disabled in child profile as screen filters can disrupt installation of 3rd party apps (Android security feature).

Thanks, this worked for me. Using MI TV Box 3S (16AB). It also enabled just after pressing the voice command button and latest back button. No idea why it's happening, but found a solution.
