[Q] Lost hotword detection, can't even run setup

I've been using the OK Google hotword detection since I've installed the rooted 4.4.2 leaked rom and everything has been fine for a month or so. Just recently it completely stopped working, voice search now only works if I hit the microphone button. Even if I uninstall Google Search and reinstall it and try to run the setup again it won't work. When it asks me to train my voice and say "OK google" three times it won't pick up anything.
So this all started when I woke up one morning and my alarm clock Sleep Genius had an error and stopped working, and when I forced closed it and hit the home button I had to pick the launcher again (I've been using Apex) . So I picked Apex again and noticed my background was different than what I had before. Don't know if that has to do with anything but that's when I noticed hotword detection stopped working. I uninstalled both apps to see if that would work and still nothing. Any ideas? Thanks.
Silly question: have you restarted the phone? You didn't state that in your post.
Also, have you tried clearing cache/dalvik?
Okay so I tried wiping the caches and that didn't do anything. I started digging a bit more into this (searched Google and about 15 pages in found this) - disabling apps that are turned on under the Accessibility menu. Turned off Music Boss, Pebble watch and Lightflow. Sure enough started working again!
Will this effect how any of these apps work? I tested out my pebble and it still got a notification so everything seems fine so far.
Thanks for the help though!

Google assistant stops responding unless I restart

Guys I need help here . My Google assistant stops working after a while regardless of which region firmware I change to. It requires a restart to make it work proper and will work for a while till it will stop responding whether screen off or on.
I've tried everything and guessing it might have something to do with always on display settings but I'm not sure. Permissions , voice match settings , retrain , delete , cache , etc have all been tested but nothing restores functionality until I restart the phone.
I've got the exact same problem.
Further tests and I have found the bug to be related to asking Google assistant to make calls. I have used it stable for 3 days while not asking assistant to make calls. However if asked two or three times to call , Google assistant will refuse to listen to voice command unless the phone is restarted. Cache uninstall older version etc nothing helps. Something has to do with the dialer app as it denies mic permission to assistant.
same problem here. also it keeps saying my google play services need updating.. play store show uninstall button. endless loop. you cant uninstall it. and its already updated.
