I've CyanogenMod 11 M7 installed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 (international). I have installed the newest version of the Google Search App and the Google Now Launcher as well. Google Now and the hotword detection are activated. But the hotword detection 'OK Google' does not work.
Is there no support for this in CM11? If not in general, is it not supported in CM11 for the Galaxy Note 3?
I've tried different workarounds. Usually I use Nova Launcher. As of late it supports the hotword detection as well. I thought maybe the feature is buggy. So I tried it with Trebuchet and Google Now Launcher. Both didn't work. It also doesn't work in the Google App itself!
I've configured my system in german. Usually voice input and also the hotword detection should work in german as well. Again I thought maybe it's buggy and switched to english (US). It didn't work.
I also never saw the prompt for the hotword in the Google search bar.
I use Xposed Framework with a module called Xprivacy. With Xprivacy one can restrict permissions for Apps, including access to media, like the camera and microphone. I thought this could be a reason, but I haven't restricted media for the Google Search App, Google Now Launcher and Nova Launcher. Can Xprivacy be a problem anyway?
Does anyone have the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix this?

The matter has sorted itself out. I got an update of the Google Search App today, now it works! :victory: :fingers-crossed:
It seams that this was a bug. I still don't see the prompt for the hotword in the Google search bar, but maybe this is another tiny bug and doesn't bother me.
I've still configured my system in german. Hotword detection works in the Google Search App, Google Now Launcher and even Nova Launcher! It doesn't work in Trebuchet, but one could assume that.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who contemplated about the case.
I have some more interesting information.
Because hotword detection didn't work again, I dealt with the topic again.
It seems that it wasn't a bug. I used Titanium Backup to integrate updates of system apps into the system. I don't know why , but obviously this caused the problem.
So I completely uninstalled the app using Titanium Backup and installed it again via the Play Store. Now hotword detection works again.
So if you have the same problem, do not integrate the newest version of the app into the system, or if you don't have it installed, simply install it via the Play Store and you should be fine. :good:

I saw an article today on Android Central which explained various features of Assistant on Pixel phones.
I couldn't find "My Day" feature in 6P. Anyone knows if that feature is pixel exclusive?

Feature is there on mine...after hitting the three dots > settings I have a "My Day" card that I can click to change settings just like the article indicates. Running latest PN w/ Assistant enabled via the "Get Assistant - Root" app on the play store.
I am using the same Get Assistant Method on 7.1.1. Can it be region specific ?
Mine shows just below my account name.

I think you'd need to set a calendar event to show the summary of your day.
Which google app version are you on ?
Recently update my moto G4 plus to android nougat 7.0. This updates has great feature including multi-window mode, Doze mode, battery saver, Google Assistant, System UI tuner and more. But in this tutorial, I will show you how to use Google Assistant My Day feature in your Google pixel & Pixel XL, Moto G4 plus, Nexus 6P/6, Galaxy S7 and other nougat devices.
This Assistant My Day feature includes settings of weather, home & work location, meeting, reminders and news related informations. Complete details of Google Assistant My Day. It will definitely help to understand all Assistant My Day settings. If you find it helpful, share with others.
Anyone have Google assistant working on their phone yet? And if so how did you get it?

I have the xt1609 and no google assistant yet.
From what I've read it comes with a google play services update in the play store.
After that, you long press the home button from your home screen and the google assistant set-up screen will appear.
I've rooted my J320A, installed the beta versions of Google Play Services and the Google App, cleared all storage for each app and I'm still not seeing Google Assistant. Is anyone else having this problem?
mines not rooted, but i'm having the same problem
I have a stock SM-J327P with the beta Google App and Google Play services too and it's not on my phone yet either.

Also we could try posting to https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/websearch/RC1pw4QhcfE/GCZx2ZbMBgAJ with answers to Ron's and hopefully prompt a better response.
Maybe im confused, but isnt the screenshot google assistant?
Didnt do anything, just updated stock thru playstore.
Guess what I posted above isn't assistant, just Google on tap...I've tried a lot to get this working
The non rooted methods out there can get to assistant in a round about way (launching some settings menu), but after assistant is activated I still could not launch it.
Using current versions of Google app the only way I could access assistant is thru rooted terminal, using the following command
Code:
am start -n "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.apps.gsa.staticplugins.opa.OpaActivity"
But typing that is a half and I couldn't come up with a practical way of using (I plan to learn tasker tho, that might help)
Only decent way I can launch it is by using an old version, 6.11.21.21 works. And installing the xposed module assistant enabler (n-ify's experimental settings has this feature too)
You must also disable auto update in your play store.
Using old versions has it's drawbacks. For instance Pixel launcher doesn't get read your weather card, so no weather widget. Who knows what else.
[EDIT]
I was able to update and it still work, it didn't last tho... Needs more testing

Nah havent really messed with tasker yet.
Only really have time to play on the weekends, and worked on another project last weekend (that alt root thing). Now with the holliday im not sure what ill have time for...i did work out the highest version assistant enabler works for us tho (6.13.25.21 works)
Ill be sure to report any updates
Think this is the best i can do with tasker using the command above (and updated google app)
Install tasker and autovoice
In tasker click the profile tab and import the two attached profiles
In autovoice goto google now
Choose not enabled
Turn on both autovoice and tasker accessibility options
Back out then check enable and uncheck voice only
Now goto advanced and check always cancel
And thats it
Now when you say 'ok google' (or use voice search) voice search will popup and close and google assistant will launch...holding the home button will bring up on tap, auto close and launch assistant.
It will probably fail the first time, but itll work afterwards.
Also the first time you open the google app itll activate assistant, but again, itll work afterwards.
Enjoy
-D
Btw im still looking for another method, i dont like the delay
I had a little luck using Google Assistant Launcher, which seems to launch the same intent you suggested and may be easier than messing around with tasker.
Here's what I've done:
De-enroll from the Google App beta, uninstall the beta, and then install the latest (non-beta) Google app.
Then run the Google Assistant Launcher and click on the "My Stuff" tab, create a new reminder and train the voice model
Go to settings / apps / defaults and change the default assistant to Google Assistant Launcher
If the Assistant Launcher doesn't launch the Assistant, clear storage for the Google app and Google Play services and try again

Hmm for me this would always bring up the settings were you set the reminder
[Edit]
Google app must have changed. Now what you wrote will bring up plain old voice search here...what version are you on?

So, I have Tasker and AutoVoice. I am running your (@DamienMc) "pixel experience" ROM for J320A with root and Xposed. When I try to enable AutoVoice's accessibility setting, it tells me "Universal switch does not support the current system language. The text to speak language will be set to English (United States), but this might cause unexpected behavior." I click Turn On, and then it says unfortunately, settings has stopped. This happens every time I try to enable any accessibility setting for any app. So please consider this in an update to your ROM.

The Assistant Launcher is working for me. However, pressing and holding the home button does not work.
I have Google Assistant on my phone and I installed it without rooting my phone I found the following video that shows you how to install Google Assistant on any Android phone without having to root the phone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSP6gICNfLY
Just install Google Assistant Launcher apk(180kb) and update Google Application to latest version.
Press and Hold home button, and voila Google Assisten Launched
How about the Assistant Enabler Xposed module? DamienMc added it to the J320A ROM. It works great
I think that's work.
Try ^^
Maybe i was trying the wrong app when I tried. Only one I see is 149kb

So I deleted date from Google and Google play services plus I became beta tester. And guess what.GOOGLE ASSISTANT STILL WAS NOT ABLE TO BE INSTALLED ON MY DEVICE!!!!! I NEED HEEELP!!!
There is the possibility of having Google Assistant in some ROM of the GT-P7510? I wanted to turn my tablet into a Google Home. It is possible?
