Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but I cannot seem to find Google Voice Search on my Nexus!!! It's not in the app drawer, there's no widget for it. But I go to Settings>Apps, and it's still under the "All" section, and I'm able to enable/disable it just fine. So I tried to go to the Market to see if I could download it there, and there is no "install" button (I'm assuming because it's a built in app)...help? I'm not running any custom ROM's...just stock, unlocked, rooted. I am using Nova Launcher, so that may be the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

See the search bar on to? Tap the microphone on the right side. That's Google Voice Search.

Ohhh thank you. I disabled the search bar in Nova Launcher...I didn't realize that was the only way to do the Voice Commands...

I'm wondering if any of you guys experience this. I got my Galaxy s3 almost a month ago. Out of the box, when I double click the home key, it launches S voice. However, after Rooting (or sometime after that), I noticed that double clicking the home screen doesn't launch the S voice anymore. I toggled the setting under S-Voice menu to activate or deactivate double click launch but there's no difference -- still doesn't launch it. I did update my ROM to Kyan ROM hoping changing the ROM will make it work however, it still doesn't work. I even followed the instruction in replacing double click launch form S-Voice to Google NOW, unfortnately, still no luck.
Anybody knows how to check or fix this? Really wanted to use the double click function for Google NOW.

Check kyan's changelog and thread to see if it's been changed or if anyone else is having the same issue... you're running custom software so this needs to be addressed or answered in his ROM thread...
This should be in QnA
Try the home2 shortcut from the play store, works great with stock rooted ICS with Google Now

I use apex launcher and there is a setting in there for the home button to open any app (I chose the google search app). I have it set up so that first press goes to home page of the launcher and second press opens up google now.
I did use home2shortcut as well but still didn't work. I don't think its purely a kyan rom issue as I had this issue when j was still using stock.

This work around worked. Seems like a great replacement to the touchwiz... wondering what functionality does the touchwiz have that this doesn't have. Also, I'm still hoping I could get a way to make the double click work without APEX Launcher... but yeah, this is a good workaround!
Thanks!
Right now it brings up s voice. I'm wondering if I can make it launch/do something else - I haven't been able to find a setting for it though.
might have to use go launcher ex...
Disable S Voice and google voice dialing comes up
I'm using Nova launcher and have it launch voice search when the homescreen is displayed and the home button is pressed
Not sure if that's a Nova Launcher pro feature or if it's in the free one too.

Any way to get rid of the Google search bar at the bottom of the home screen? It is annoying and I never use it.
Thanks!

Your rooted so check out end of this thread post #565 from @Tulsadiver, he shared a couple files to remove search bar plus a couple features.

It's funny, because before I had no use for it. I'd always stick with opening chrome and typing in the search area there. For the last year now I've been using the search bar widget on my homescreen and seriously can't go without it. I barely even open Chrome anymore. And even when I do use a customer launcher time to time usually Nova...first thing I do upon setup is stick that search bar right at the bottom lol.
I would like to use Nova launcher, but I am unable to get the Google feed to show when I swipe left, am I missing something in the settings or is it not available for Nova?
Sorry if this was asked, I couldn't find it when I searched
Thanks for any and all help

Hi to all!
Simply question: I want to remove the google assistant in the bottom corners of the homescreen, so i go settings>apps & notifications>default apps>assist & voice input>assist app and i select none and till here nothing to say. The problem is that everytime i reboot or switch off the phone, google assistant return as default app instead of "none" and it's a lot weird. There's a way to definitely remove the app? i don't want to uninstall or disable it, only remove from the corners. Maybe a fake app to put there instead of google. Thank you!

If you're rooted, just freeze it with titaniumbackup. If not rooted, use adb to disable.
Edit... N/m Check the launcher settings? I use nova launcher so never seen it.
Which os are you on?
when I follow that route (settings>apps & notifications>default apps>assist & voice input>assist app) I just have Google, no option for "none".
i use the MS launcher and I've never had the Google assistant on the home screen, switched back to the 1+ default and it wasn't there either
I'm on stock oos 10.0.12, I've taken a screen.. and I'm using Nova launcher

I've said I don't want to disable it because I think it could give problems
EDIT: See now from PC that your sentence was crossed out. I'm using nova too, is there a setting inside launcher that i don't see?

I'm not sure.. I have mine set to 'none' as I don't use the assistant. I haven't had any issues. In fact, it's been that way since I set up the phone some 9 months ago.
