I've noticed that I can't seem to get an icon on my home screen (besides in the search bar) for Voice Actions. Its installed, according to the Market, but I can't seem to add it to stock or to Nova for me to trigger it without using the search bar. Advice?
Is there really no way to get voice actions as an easy-to-hit widget or button? I know it's in the search bar, but that's difficult to hit with a thumb or while driving.
I've been searching all over for this as well, and I wish I had some good news for you but all I can give is a bump!
This really has been driving me mad. The Icon is so damn hard to hit, it makes voice commands impossible to use while I'm driving!
Yes, I put in a request for this in the Themes and Apps section.
Soft key support with short press = search and long press = voice search would be ideal.
Have we still found no solution for this? It'd be great to have a voice search command which works without the google bar and within thumb's reach.
It's not soft key support, but you can put a shortcut on your home screen using this xShortcut: https://market.android.com/details?id=ex.chinyang.android.xshortcut&hl=en -- and the voice actions shortcut will stay on your home screen even after uninstalling xShortcut.
And naturally, after using Voice Actions once, you can then access Voice Actions using the multi-tasking button from any app.
Or, as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420277 you can use Launcher Pro to create a custom shortcut.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That worked like an absolute charm. Thank you so much!
Nova launcher has an option to remap the menu button long-press. Anyone know how to replicate that without using that launcher (I don't want to use Nova)?
Currently double-clicking the home button starts S-Voice, which in my opinion has poor recognition. Is it possible to change the double-tap default to Google Now voice search?
You can use simplistic framework mod to assign any app for double click home button. ....... from original Android development thread
Other ways.. long press menu button for Google now. ..why should you use home button?

Hello,
i have Nova Launcher Prime 4.3.1 and also the last versions had the problem that i had deactivated all gestures that are possible but if i swipe the button up, it opens the settings. And this happens often when i have no time and is really annoying. What can that be? Sorry for the bad english.
Possibly clear defaults?
Hello here are my current issues:
1. Settings the launcher to Nova in the settings will only work with button navigations.
- Using gesture navigation take you to nubia launcher if you use the home gesture on any app/screen
2. Even if you use the button navigations, whilst in Nova,
when going into recent app button, no matter if you clear or press back, you will be returned to nubia launcher
Using the CN model flashed with global ROM.
I want to use Nova launcher with gestures and have heard some in the thread mentioning they have this working.
Can someone lend me a hand please?
Thanks!
Don't know if you're still having this issue or not but how I somehow got it to work is going into the settings, app info, hit the 3 dots in the upper right and select Default App Settings. Tap on Desktop and change it to Nova Launcher. Sometimes though, when I exit a couple of particular apps, it resorts back to the Nubia Launcher. So what I did was keep the icon for Nova Launcher on the main desktop of the Nubia Launcher. This only happens rarely but still a pain when it does.
anyone know is this bug fix on 4.23 update?
