I'd like to set the long press of my Search navigation button to "Voice Search" by Google but I'm not seeing it in my app drawer. Only way to pull it up is to search, then hit the mic button.
I tried TiBackup to uninstall it but it never gets removed, possibly because it's a system app?
I then reflashed the gapps zip through CWM but nothing changed.
It doesn't show up in the app drawer. Ever.
i'm trying to set up my long press search button (in navigation bar) to bring up Voice Search. i swore i was able to do it before, but i'm not sure what changed, i've messed around with a bunch of ROMs, kernels and launchers since that time haha.
AOKP, Slim, and liquid can do this.
oh yeah, i'm on AOKP but the problem is that Voice Search doesn't come up as an avaialble app/shortcut
Is it installed?
"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."
yup, when in Google Play, it says "Installed" next to it. I can also use it when I click on the mic during searches. But no way for me to find it to select it as ana pp.
Easy. Just install nova launcher. If you have nova launcher installed (just installed, you don't even have to actually use it) it puts voice search in your shortcuts list. Select "nova launcher" from the list of shortcuts and then a menu will pop up where you select voice search.
Mine used to be that way, but now it shows in the app drawer. Which i think is annoying. Im stock takju never rooted or unlocked. Kinda bummed it shows up now

I installed Nova Launcher, but I have no clue what you're referring to do. Could you please explain how to assign Google Voice Search to open when long pressing the Search button? Please? =)

Using CM11 with Google Camera app form Play Store. By pressing the camera button the standard camerpa app from CM shows up.
How can i change it to Google Camera?
Shouldn't it be possible to remap this with Xposed Additions?
Xposed is probably the best way but I used a ghetto workaround through Tasker. Every time the stock app launched, Tasker would kill it and then launch Google camera. Not at all elegant and it takes a few extra seconds to launch but it worked!
Is there any way to have long-pressing the menu button go straight to Google Now? If I thought Samsung stopped doing this sh!t years ago. S Finder is awful.

In LP 5.1.1, Google search is totally different from the old days. You could config Google search by saying "ok google" from any screen. The home screen already have a short cut to Google search. You can't use the Home button to launch Google Search anymore ...unless we're talking about custom rom.
If you ae rooted you can use xposed additions.
Personally, I find S Finder quiet useful because of the handwriting search!
I am currently running the latest nightly of Lineage OS on my Nexus 6P.
I also have Google Assistant by flashing the Google Assistant Velvet and Build prop zips.
I cannot seem to activate the Google Assistant by long pressing the home button because it brings up the recent apps.
How can I configure the home button for Google Assistant?

You should not need to do anything other than set the language to "English (US)".
I have changed the system app to English US as well as Google app language to English US.
Doesn't seem to make a difference.

Gapps nano and English US is all I did. If something still prevents it all that is needed is a simple build.prop edit. No zip or anything. Just a Google App enabled Gapps

Configure the behaviour of the buttons in Settings -> Buttons
Caveat: I'm not using LineageOS any longer so I am not 100% sure if those settings still exist. They did a couple of months ago.

setting system language to English us won't change that. for that your google account should be us one. i also had the same problem because in sri lanka still assistant is not rolled out. i enable it thanks to that man. try if you want.

he changed my google account country and enabled me new assistant
Go to settings-apps-touch on the setting icon given above the right side -then go to assist and voice input-select assist app as google- then clear all google play services and Google app data by doing clear all -then go to settings -buttons-select long press home button action for search assistant. that's it your assistant will be working....
