How to enable google voice Assistant on any app , screen on miui 8 marshmallow
Go to settings/installed apps/ on the bottom you'll see an option defaults and more, click on defaults , on this screen on the bottom select voice and Assistant input , select assist app and select google app, and now register your voice on Google Assistant and you are set
I was trying all kinds of stuff and couldn't make it work. And you nailed it with this simple thing I did not know about. Thank you so much!
I'm glad it helped, I've been looking on all android forums and i was messing with the settings until i found the solution, btw sorry for my bad English
I did that with all my MIUI devices, but it doesn't fix the problem, that it's not working when not charging and/or device is screen-off.
If you are on marshmallow there is a module called Google Assistant for non nougat devices

Did you manage to get google assitant enabled with screen off?
It's resetting after running the Security app given by MIUI 8. Then I have to go again and set default voice assistant to google..
Anyway to fix this issue..?

Anyone rooted get the update? It's working on my wife's non-rooted mxpe, but my rooted phone didn't get anything yet.
I just got it on rooted stock mxp.
Not happy that it doesn't integrate with Moto Voice at all....And GA with screen off doesn't work despite setting in Google app saying it does.
Do you have moto voice on? I also don't have the option for ok google from any screen under the voice settings in the Google app and my wife's phone does. Weird.
How did you get the update? I for a security update this morning which is weird but I didn't think that was related.

It's all server side... You will know you have it by long-pressing the home button, if it pops up with Google Assistant you have it, if it doesn't then Google hasn't turned it on for you yet.

Does Assistant pop up running the Google now launcher for you? I have feeds on and currently a long press just goes to the left Google now screen.

Yes it does... In both Google Now and Nova Prime.
It does appear that the only way to wake the pure is to have moto voice enabled. When activating moto voice it only starts the classic google now interface, not google assistant. I've tried disabling moto voice -- if you do, you can't wake the device from sleep with just your voice. I'm going to follow this thread, maybe someone will find a way?
Using Tasker (and being rooted with Magisk), I was able to get "OK Google" (my custom phrase) waking Moto Voice, then immediately launching Google Assistant. However, it only seems to work right when the screen is already on. If I turn the screen off and say "OK Google", Moto Voice launches, but Tasker never launches the shell command to launch Google Assistant. Not sure what the problem is.
Profile
Event - App (Moto Voice)
Task - Run Shell (/sbin/su -c "input keyevent 219") - if you use SuperSU or something you can just check the Root box, and can just put "input keyevent 219)
I've tried adding delays to the profile, etc... but it almost seems like the Moto Voice screen that comes up when the screen is on is "Moto Voice", but when the screen is off it's not.
Seems like we'll need an update from Motorola to truly solve this.
Running LineageOS 02/13 build. Got Google Assistant working. But OK Google detection works only when on home screen (Nova Launcher). Also I have set the Home button long press action to 'Search Assistant'.
OK Google detection setting is actually greyed out in Google App. But it's somehow working.
P.S: I have opted for Google Beta in playstore.
Recently, I enable Google Assistant for my non rooted Note5 device even though my location is in the Philippines. Here's how:
1. DOWNLOAD latest Google Apps BETA
2. DOWNLOAD latest Google Play Services BETA
3. DOWNLOAD any fake gps apps
4. DOWNLOAD any free VPN apps
Go to phone settings then apps manager then open Google Play Services, select storage then manage storage then clear data
Open freeVPN (mine is tunnel bear) then direct to USA
Open fake GPS (mine is flygps) then set your location to USA (i chose Los Angeles)
Again go to phone settings then apps manager then open Google Apps, select storage then manage storage then clear data.
After performing the above, long press your home button, then you will see Google Assistant which guide you to set.
Good luck and enjoy!???
Very helpful

I see, the only way I know to do this is yes you have to change modify the ROM.. you can try it I think it's not that hard if you follow the instructions..Just dont forget to make a Full backup in case something goes wrong.
Hey there,
I have a Mate 8 Chinese version. Build Number NXT-AL10C00B592. My Phone is rooted.
My goal is to replace the HiVoice with the Google Assistant.
What I've done so far:
- Remove the HiVoice App described as here https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/how-to-replace-hivoice-vocal-assistant-t3465522/amp/
Even this was a P9 article, I gave it a try. Well.. the HiVoice is gone now.
- Installed the Google app, configured the speech assistant. In order to do this I had to set the Google Assistant as default assistant in my app settings. (apps - settings - default app - assistant - assistant-app =Google). Once this was done I was able to press the Home-Button to activate the Google Assistant. Awesome.. I thought so.. after approx. 15 minutes, it wasn't working anymore. The default assistant app was set to None..
So I thought it is maybe because of the Depp-sleep-device-idle Huawei-special-whatever.. so I tried to disable this one via adb.. works fine.. my WhatsApp messages arrive immediately,even if the app is closed.. yay, but that was not my goal..
I am at the end of my knowledge. Do you guys have any idea how to set the Google Assistant as default permanently? Maybe there is a config file that I could modify or something..
Thanks mates,
Shyarly
I'm experiencing the same problem here, and I'm also looking for solutions. I tried using Ice Box and successfully disabledthe Hivoice App. After playing around for a while Iwould say that force stopping the Google app would reset the assist app to none. I tried setting the assist app to Cortana and force closing it but the setting remains. On the other hand however, In my experience on a global model it seems the Google app (as a system app) cannot be force stopped, unless you disable and re-enable it, which also causes the assist app to be reset. maybe there's a switch that makes the google app persistent, and I hope that helps.
I seem to be able to solve this issue, but I'm on EMUI 8.1 and on P20Pro, not sure if it's suitable for your case - probably it's the same case for all recent Huawei phones (Chinese ver.) so I just post it here:
1. Go to settings > Apps & notifications > Apps > Google > Advanced > Set write system setting to "Yes".
2. On the same page, change the Google app launch to "Manage manually" and turn on Auto-launch, Secondary launch, and Run in background.
3. If you still have HiVoice installed, just turn off the write system setting permission on HiVoice in case it's overwriting the Google voice command.
I have checked in an hour or two so far, tried to restart my phone too, the default app for voice is still with Google and "OK Google" works smoothly. Still with one flaw, once you call the Google assistance, don't close/clean it otherwise the setting will be reset.
Thanks to Ronald.Cheng I have followed your first step and decided to add my own steps and so far I have been using my phone for whole day and even restare how I modified the setting.
1. Go to settings > Apps & notifications > Apps > Google > Set write system setting to "Yes".
2. Go to settings > Apps & notifications > Apps > Google > Battery > uncheck "close after the screen locked"
If it is possible, repeat 2. On assistant
I hope it works with your Huawei.
Same problem unsolved
Hello,
I have a honor note 10 (Chinese mui 8.2) and the same problem. First I struggled to install and use Google assistant and had to force enable it, and now it works until it resets itself. I followed the instructions below but I doesn't seem to do anything. Is there any way I can make Google a system app or with similar rights using adb or whatever ?

Alright so when they announced that there was 6 new voices being released for Google assistant, I went to look how to change it or at least hear them. When I followed the steps to do it in this link https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/7544506?co=GENIE.Platform=Android&hl=en
The option wasn't there. You can open the menu directly by telling assistant "voice settings" then click the button on the bottom. But none of the listed voices worked. You could select them but the voice stayed the same. I'm rooted and Xposed so there is likely a module interfering but I found a work around:
Steps:
1. Reboot into safe mode by holding reboot until the prompt for safe mode comes up
2. Once in safe mode open the Google app
3. Menu - settings
4. Under Google assistant category select settings, this will bring up the setting menu for Google assistant since Google assistant does not work in safe mode.
5. Preferences - assistant voice (should be there now)
6. Listen and select your favorite.
7. Reboot
Side note: after doing this the proper menu showed up when not in safe mode so now you can listen and change as you please after that.
It's cool that we have 8 voices to now choose from...
Any idea how to get the voice in Australia? I tried changing location and language settig, doesn't seem to work.
I'm on the May security update and it worked for me without going into safe mode first.

My language is set to English (Singapore). The voice options are not available from the Preferences menu on my phone, but when I speak "Voice Settings" to Google Assistant, there's an option to select among 8 voices. But all of these 8 voices sound exactly the same. Guess it's not applicable to all languages yet.

Like I mentioned above, I am rooted and have Xposed so there was likely a mod issue for me. Anyone that is relatively more stock or doesn't have the same mods as me it would likely work

I forgot to mention that I was on English Canada but changed it to English us before following my steps. That may be a factor as to why it worked. Try adding English us and have it set as preferred language then try my steps. You should be able to change back to English Singapore without having it revert back to the default.

I managed to change the voice for my Google Assistant all while staying on English Singapore.
It's strange cause voice settings doesn't appear in my Google Assistant Settings -> Preferences. I could however pull up the voice settings by speaking "Voice Settings" to Google Assistant. And although clicking on the individual voices here all returns the default voice, it does work. Had to exit the voice settings and speak to Google Assistant again to hear what the selected voice sounds like. Probably a bug!

I think it's a Google bug because until now I had a nokia 7 plus and there was the same problem, present also in the rn7 I just bought these afternoon
I have the same issue.
There is a solution which is to uninstall updates of the Google App, but this is in my case with the Global (PFGMIXM) which already included Google apps, so maybe trying with old apks could work.
But at the moment you update Google App, the issue appears again.

Is a Google bug, Im actually using it, but to configure the voice match dont use the menu, just open Google app and in the main page say "ok Google", the voice match wizard should start automatically, set your voice profile, it should work, dont try to configure via menu, that will disable voice match, in the menu it shows disable but you can use it normally.
:good:
10.3.3 EU, Voice Match in Google Assistant tries to "add devices", while the OK Google toggle in settings starts the wizard, but after finalizing it, the toggle remains in the off position. Saying "OK Google" doesn't work even it the assistant screen when the search bar says "say OK Google"
Any updates on this?
