'Voice Match' or so called 'OK Google anytime' option is greyed out
1. Google Assistant is working.
2. Google is set as 'Assistant Application'
2. Google Assistant is set in a supported language (Spanish-Spain). Even if I set it up as US-English, it does not work.
3. I've checked permission about voice and video recording inside Google Play Services
4. I got no other Voice Assistant
5. I'm not in battery saving mode.
*It used to work flawlessly about 3 months ago, idk what happened, I just installed Pixel Experience when it was 32 bits and since then I've installed Stock Debloated and right now I'm with the last 13th February 2018 LinageOS 8.1 64Bits build. None of them worked. All of the ROMs mentioned have Voice Match greyed out.
Plz help, thanks in advance.
I have the same problem!
Same problem with me too.:crying:

Try deleting cache and data from google search app, reboot and set up assistant again. It worked for me.
Hi guys ,
This problem that u have can occur if the Google app is not installed as a system app .
So to fix this ,follow the next few steps -
1) Convert Google app into system app using apps like Titanium backup or anything of your preference.
2) Using any root Explorer navigate to Root > system > app and search for an app named similar to 'googlesearchbox' and cut the app from this folder.
3) Now Navigate to Root > system > priv-app and paste the app.
4) Finally Reboot and now the problem will be gone

I just installed to system/priv-app and after reboot Google gave me the option to set my voice model.
So the problem was that I hadn't installed to system/priv-app but installed it into system/app. So, if you have this problem with the greyed out voice model option in Google app you have to:
1. Copy (don't cut) the 'Google' app folder:
1.1. If you have it as a system app and you still see greyed out the voice model option.- from root/system/app to root/system/priv-app
1.2. If you don't have it as a system app.- from root/data/app to root/system/priv-app
2. Reboot
Thank you @Vaibhav Kanna for taking the time to explain and thanks to everyone that helped in this thread.

Just to make it simple, flashing mini or micro gapps instead of Pico will install Google as system app by default.
Much easier

Do you only need to move the Google app folder to system/priv-app or also the Google assistant app folder?

Are those apps in different folders? I thought they were the same app, because Assistant is integrsted into Google app? Anyways, the folder you are looking for is 'com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox'

Normally they aren't, it was my mistake. I installed the Google app and Google assistant app separately as I didn't know Google assistant could be activated via the Google search app. I've always installed gapps Pico for years so I was clearly not up to date with how the Google search app worked. Flashed the Nano package so it's a system app by default.
Now I'm trying to find a way to use "Hey Google" instead of "Ok Google"
If you're using pico gapps then install nano and it will work, did for me.
I transferred Google app to /system/priv-app and it works like a charm
Thanks @Vaibhav Kanna
Thanks @Vaibhav Kanna The easiest fix for me was to flash Nano Gapps instead of my Pico Gapps....
BTW @Avalon, Assistant now responds to "Hey Google" too.

Received my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition on Friday there and noticed it doesn't have icons in the Apps menu for some preloaded applications like Google Play Books etc. The strange thing is they are installed on the device as you will see in the screenshots. I can open then by going into the Google Play store searching for the app and rather than getting "install" I get an open button which opens up the app and it works perfectly.
I have tried restoring device to factory defaults via the option in the settings menu.
I have tried restoring device using Kies. It downloaded the firmware and installed it on the device.
I have looked repeatedly in the apps menu for the icons and I'm certain they're not there. I have even screenshotted the menu as there is only one page.

Hi guys, i have the same problem whit my G8. I can't find the retail demo in any folder. How can i delete it?
YESSSSSSS !!!! i find !!!!
i do a search in root explorer, in search i write apk and in the results there is. So i delete it and i solved the problem!!
I also managed to find the retail demo application using 'root explorer' but it's not giving me any options to force delete the application. If i delete the individual system files of the application, would i cause stability issues with the phone?
Hey all,
So I updated my phone to the DVD v20F ROM the other day and since then I've noticed the install button in the Android package manager doesn't work. If I select an apk, it brings up the list of permissions and the install and uninstall buttons, but only the uninstall button works. If I hit the install button nothing happens, it's like the button has no function assigned to it. Updating apps still works fine though. So does anyone know of a way to install apps to my device without using the Package Manager?
Thanks!

There are few software witch can install application without using phone for that. Also, if you go to google store with your computer and select application to install, it will not require additional clicks on your phone. I think its best way to not install additional software and give permissions, just select applications from play store using your browser.

In case that he want to use app's from store, i think its good solution.
Beside ABD commands, applications like MobileGo can be used. Connect with you computer and install it with double click.

Copy the app to system folder and set permissions. Then reboot

No. The method I mentioned will only wipe the Files App data and cache (Hence from Settings > Apps > Files > Storage). This is not a global wiping of data and cache of your entire device (this would be the last resort).
I had the same annoying problem. I finally tracked the issue to another app called 'Box' which is a cloud storage app. Once I uninstalled "Box" the Files app worked again. I located an earlier version of the Box app (v.3.7.5) and it seems to work properly now.
The was incredibly annoying to track this problem down. I hope this helps my fellow OP3 owners...

Hello all,
I cann't find a solution to install apps in sideload on my Pixel 2XL.
It was after flashing version 10 in the beginning of september.
After a lot of trying I give up and hope someone else here can help me.
My Pixel 2XL is unlocked but not rooted.
Normally I do the sideload by transfer an apk to my dropbox. After that I start it up and do what the system tells me.
Nowadays I got a return of a message in dropbox that -it is impossible to open the apk and download an app to open the apk-.
After that I download the apk to my download folder to try again. Then, when trying to startup, I get a popup with the name off the apk, the version nr, the size and packagename.
There is also a button to view apk content. When I push that button the right folders of the apk are indeed visible.
There are also 3 options. One to install, one to go to playstore and one to stop further actions and go back.
When I try to use the button install the result is that nothing happened, no signal, no message from the system, no popup, really nothing.
You all know that this is not what I want. I just want to install the apk. I have tried it with a few other apk's with the same results. :crying:
Before the last OTA upgrade to android 10 it was normal to install with these methods.
Thanks for who can helping me and others for trying to help me.

Have you enabled install apps from unknown sources? You'll also need to enable apps to install apps from what I can see in android 10. If you pull up an apps indignation you can expand the options and there will be an option to allow it to install apps, which Dropbox may need. The first one needs to be enabled to install apks from the download folder.

I did all these settings before.
Now I tried to open another filemanager (Google Files) and that did the job.
I don't know why installing in dropbox or installing in es file explorer doesn't do the same with equal settings.
Maybe an idea to uninstall and re-install these apps?
Anyway, a lot of thanks for your answer.

Android 10, install from unknown sources is like an app permission now, you have to grant it to things like chrome (download apk and install) and file managers rather than a global setting for phone. Safer as you trust an app o do it rather than letting some malware in background filling your phone with crap.

Uninstalling and reinstalling will not work, as I've done that with my modded version of ES File Explorer. This is a change in Android itself.
Go to Settings > Apps & Notifications > Special App Access > Install Unknown Apps. A list of apps will appear. Select an app and toggle the switch.
NOTE: Dropbox is on the list, but at least on my device my modded version of ES File Explorer is not.
