Ok google from any screen - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I can't seem to find a way to activate "ok google" from any screen...
I'm running rooted LG G3 with nova launcher prime.
Is there a way or a mod to get it work from any screen?
Thanks in advance.

From Google Search settings--> Voice--> "OK Google" Detection, make sure "From any screen" is selected. Then in Nova settings--> OK Google, make sure the "OK Google" Hotword option is selected.

Thanks for the answer.
Unfortunately i cant get access to the "any screen" option.
I tried to switch language from french to english, the option doesn't appear :/

Hello - for this to work you MUST set your launguage to "English US" do these steps below.
Settings-->Language and Input-->Voice search--> change top languages to "English US" then set a secondary langauge --> click "OK Google" --> click "from any screen"
You may have to do the voice training.

Thanks for the help mate. I already tried that exactly, but no further option happens after the language change..
Still no possibility to chose "from any screen" :/

So werid man - sorry.

I'll update today to CloudyG3 ROM..
Maybe i'll get it to work with it..
Anyway thanks!!

I've been having the same issue since I got my G3 I tried reinstalling google search and google now launcher many times and the option is never there to search from any screen.

I had a same issue and the reason we couldn't see the option to tick any screen is I freezed it with tb and defrost it and updated from play store then was able to see the option in the setting. U have to defrost Google search and update it using play store. I even can use in Google from not only any screen but also on lock screen as well... Cheers

Have you rebooted after changing the language to US English?

You have to do a Google search from the app "OK Google everywhere" then the option should appear.

Right after you do that search, close the app, reopen and go into settings

[Q] I can't find Google Voice Search on my Nexus???

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.

The only way to remove the google search bar is to change the launcher.. And apparently there are several people with the same problem with the smart screen. I will have to return to At&t romuntil this is fixed. :crying:

The way to do is. Restore ur data only from the att ROM. Then ur launcher will be like the one the att unit without all the bloat ware and also has the already unlock tether included. And also doing it this way will take care of the Google error when downloading apps.

Only wish Google's launcher was a bit more tweakable. Surprising that there isn't a context menu item for System Settings
If any of you get consistent crashes while searching in new Google Search there is an easy fix.
Scroll to the bottom of Google Now > Settings > Voice > Language > English > change to something besides English (US) (this causes the crashes).
The search was useless for me until this fix.

No problem. I did the same and went back to Nova until I found the solution. Now I only miss using my Nox icon theme and the additional options of Nova. I hope Google expands the customization of this a bit, I'll be keeping it for now as it seems really quick/smooth.

Do you have it set to English (US) or something else?

It is *very common*.
What you need to do to get it back...well it involves the Search crashing bug. "Ok, Google" only appears if you're using the US English settings in Google Now/Search....Ofc, there's known bug of Search crashing if you try to do a search with US English...so here's what you do to have both, order is important:
(setup Google Search/Now)
1) Set US English as the default languages in Search
2) do a Search query
3) Search will crash
4) Set the language to ANY other English language pack ("OK, Google" will disappear)
5) Do another search...and search will work
6) Hit Home button (exit out)
7) Change language BACK to US English
And now, Search should not only work, but "Ok Google" and its animations should be there.

How can i remove lock screen dual clock

Anyone can help me to remove the lock screen dual clock. I am using Korea version F400S
Maybe you need to enable lock screen widgets in the settings menu?

It's more than likely in the clock settings or settings in lock screen

Thanks, heres what the linked post instructed.
1) download that app from the play store
2) set your language to english and your location to your desire.
3) install the app
4) search "clock" under the activities tab
5) under the roaming icon, there should be a "Roaming dual clock". tap into it.
6) tap "Try" then select "disable"
7) simply press back without creating the shortcut
8) select "Roaming clock settings"
9) tap "Try" again, and uncheck both ticks
10) press back again and you're all done.
Thank you for the info, it worked perfectly

I downloaded the QuickShortcutMaker but when i search I can't find "roaming dual clock"? I only get the "clock", can anyone please help..
Wow, that seems like alot of work. This is what I did... not sure if it gives the same effect, but works for me on a F400L

that's the direct path a lot of people couldnt find, the shortcut maker makes it more obvious to show
Hello guys, thanks for the solution on how to remove the dual clock the app works perfectly I can finally remove it. Now I have another question, if you have the korean version or the 400s versions, if you go to your calendar app you will see that you have some korean holidays, I haven't been able to find how to remove those, i went to account and sync and I cannot remove korean holidays. So I went to QuickShortcutMaker app, under activities I clicked on calendar and went to setting, I unchecked korean holidays but when I go back the app crashes. Is there any other way to remove that??
I appreciate it. DONT WANT TO SEE THOSE KOREAN LETTERS!!!!!
This works a lot better...and easier I must say
Hi guys, I tried all the steps listed on this thread, however when I go back to the lockscreen, it shows the same dual time. Any ideas why?

Did you disable both "roaming clock setting", and "roaming clock". For me all the settings are under T-Roaming(F400S). Depending on your model it might be different.
Sorry to write here after long time, but if you google about 'How to remove dual clock' you easily go here.
I made an app to salve this problem.
Currently made for F240s on 4.4.2 (LG G Pro).
Please, if you have an imported smartphone with dual clock, send a report and I will ADD support for your smartphone too.

Now I can't create a shortcut to disable it...

Assist & Voice input

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.
