So I've been playing around all day to get this to work but cannot. Every time I use the OK Google voice command with the screen off it only goes to the lockscreen and I have to enter a pattern.
I've read through a few posts but nothing I've tried is working.
Can anyone offer some assistance??

You have to set up voice unlock I believe. Go into settings in the app and voice model> retrain voice model.. You should be able to set it up then

On mine, like the other guy said, press the envelope icon top right. At the top it says explore, beside that your stuff, and to the right of that, 3 dots. Click on the 3 dots, then settings, and then click phone, then access and unlock. Mine was doing same thing. Glad that I saw this thread.

I am running DarchLegend 4.1, and my phone gets abnormally hot when it's just sitting in my pocket, receiving a text every couple hours. I would like to know why this is, if it's normal, and should I do anything about it? Thanks in advance

Sounds like a program is running in the background. I would get a task manager open and frequently check to see what app is staying open the most.

Just wondering if there is a way to get Google now on tap back on Google assistant Roms. Seems like they all have Google assistant now. I kind of liked GN on tap. Googling didn't come up with any answers.
Never mind I figured it out.
How'd you do it?

Hello...
Maybe I have a workaround. Go in Google play. Since your Google app updated itself, you have auto update apps in settings... Open Google app in "my apps and games" , click on the 3 dot menu on the top right corner and deselect "auto update" (see screenshot attached)
After that, you can go in: settings > apps > Google app >
Here you can tap on disable. Click "disable app" and on the second prompt "ok". It will reinitialize the app to the factory version.
Finally, you can go on https://apkmirror.com : http://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=Google+app
And download an older Google app version of your choice. You need to enable "unknown source" in settings > security to be able to install it... :good:
Good luck...

I'm in the UK.. Got it last week. Have been trying ever since to get rid of it!
Short of rolling back the Google app version, the best I've found is using this app:

Settings - > Lock Screen and Security - > Face Recognition .
There should be a "Faster Recognition" option that you could turn on in there.

So my father recently switched from iphone 6 to Samsung Galaxy s8, and there is one thing he really misses and that is that you could highlight text and press the little microphone and it would read it out to him. Is there anything I can do to replicate this? Thank!

I see. You can have it turned on through accessibility > vision > voice assistant (on). The implementation is really horrible though.
Did you try playstore to see if there are apps that can do what you're looking for?

Yeah he isn't blind? so that is really annoing for him, he just wants it so he can have it do it in the car. Yes we have already checked the play store.
There's a new update on the Play Store for the stock Google Phone app. And man they killed one thing I LOVED the most about it, the swipe to the different panels. I would always swipe left to my Favorites, or swipe right to the Contacts, or further swipe to the Voicemail. It was so smooth and fast, to just swipe from anywhere on the screen.
Now it's been moved to the bottom of the screen, no more swiping, now you need to tap on which panel you want. Which to me takes even longer now, and is not as fast and smooth as before.
I have been using the stock Google or ASOP Phone app for years, probably 8 years or so. This change is no bueno.
It was probably done for the benefit of those with phones that had less than quality touch screens and might have activated swipes unintentionally.
I dont mind though.
Oh man. Just go the update, too. I hate it that I can't swipe. In what weird direction is Google moving? I don't get it. They keep removing great features or replacing them with things nobody asked for or things completely out of touch with users.
The argument of the guy above me is kinda invalid. Even the worst digitizer + SoC combo will be able to do a simple swipe. I don't buy that argument, whoever came up with it. Even if they did not. In what world is an inferior, low end device getting a recent Android version on which the latest phone app is available?
Thank god apk mirror exists. AFAIK 18.0.187698947 is the latest and last one with swipe enabled.

I take it you're saying the May security update is when your phone app broke, right? If that's the case, you can try flashing the May factory image after removing -w from the batch file. That 'should' rewrite the phone app, but I am not 100% sure it will. If not, a factory reset/reflash with wipe command left in batch file might be necessary unless someone else has an idea.
Maybe try an earlier version apk from apkmirror.com

No the May update was fine, right after the app update started crashing.
But I think I'll try the earlier version from "apkmirror.com" before committing to re-flashing again.

Cool! Good to know you didn't have to do a reset.
Based on the layouts for their new apps like the pixel 2 launcher or chrome beta, it looks like they are making apps easier to navigate with one hand by placing things towards the bottom of the screen. Seems easier to navigate than having to reach to the top of the screen in the prior version.
