[Q] Assign S5 Dialer Keypad Microphone to Google Voice Search - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I am running a rooted debloated Verizon Galaxy S5 on ODN. I debloated may apps, including S-Voice. Unfortunately it appears that S-Voice was assigned to the microphone button on the phone app dialer keypad, and that was one of the apps I debloated. I've attached a screenshot, but the message I get when tapping the Microphone icon on the bottom left of the screen is as follows: "Unable to Open app - com.vlingo.midas is off. To turn this application on, tap App info, then tap Turn on." Tapping App info doesn't go anywhere because com.vlingo.midas was debloated.
Any suggestions on how to reassign this microphone button to Google Voice Search would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ed Janx

Tulsadiver, thank you for your advice and the apk. I did consider that as a path, and I may still try it, but I'm wondering how I may be able to change the button's behavior to open Google Voice Search instead as a primary solution.

Hello again Tulsadiver.
I includeded a screen shot in my original post, but this is the message:
"Unable to Open app - com.vlingo.midas is off. To turn this application on, tap App info, then tap Turn on."
If I click App Info, nothing happens since it is not installed..

Home2Shortcut

Anyone having issues with Home2Shortcut ? I have used this on my S3 to make Google voice search come up w/ a doublepress of the main button. With the S4, looks like it does not want to work - S-Voice keeps coming up even though I have Voice Search selected and have Home2Shortcut set as a default.
Just curious if anyone has got it working.

S voice is setup to start up by default with the double tap of home button. Go to S Voice App> Settings > Uncheck double tap to start s voice. I did this as soon as I got phone then disabled svoice without clearing its data to avoid the lag when hitting home key
That did it! Thank you my friend.

What app are you linking to? Should be Voice Search, linked to home key > App.

Are you trying to say that you accidentally changed the swipe up from home and you want to change it back, or that you are trying to change it to do something else?

[Q] google voice typing not working and no mic on any keyboard

Can't figure this one out. Using the LG keyboard, I do not have a mic icon no matter what I try (it is enabled in settings). Selecting Google Voice typing doesn't even open. Using the stock google keyboard from the play store doesn't allow me to select the mic icon either from the ',' key. I have checked the installed voice engines (LG, Pico) and installed the google voice engine but nothing works. Anyone else having problems with this function?

Yes exact same issue- in settings under Lang and Input & LG Keyboard, voice input is auto selected but grayed out. Google search bar widget shows mic icon in preview view, but when I add it to the home screen the mic icon is gone and nothing happens when you click on the bar. Phone's mic is working normally. Gettin worried....
Same problem!
24A IOroot TWRP 2.7 Malladus 2.0.2.
To text, I have to tap a LOT of buttons.
1 tap on text icon.
Then tap the + icon to compose new message.
Then tap the status bar button to drop down status bar.
Then tap choose input method.
Then choose either "Google voice typing" or "LG Keyboard".
Then choose contact.
Then text.
There is no microphone icon on the LG keyboard for texting.
I'm a noob. This is the clunkiest text interface I could imagine.
What am I missing? Is there a text app I need to download to get a better interface with the ROM?
Thanks for any help!!
I can drop-down the status bar and touch allows me to select between Google mic or LG keyboard,

BTW - my google voice typing does work when I select it as described above.
I enabled it under Settings / Language and Input.
Try uninstalling Google voice search and then reinstalling it. This worked for me.

Do you have a settings cog to the left of your space bar? If so long press that and you are presented with options including the microphone. Once you click on the microphone the popup window goes away and the settings cog is replaced with a microphone. This worked for me when I had the LG Keyboard. I'm currently using the AOSP keyboard which has the microphone by default.

Thanks!
Worked like a charm!
My button left of the keyboard had the pencil. On longpress, it gives the option of pencil, mic, settings, or a note thingy.
I had it in my head that my problem was some kind of buggy thing associated with removing bloat and stuff.
In fact, it was nothing more than "please try to learn how to use your own phone".
So I kinda feel dumb....
But on the positive side, you look brilliant!
Thanks!

Just stumbled across it one day. You can do the same with the command and period buttons to the right of the space bar.

I had the exact same problem, and after hours of searching, found that somehow Google Search was disabled. Go to settings/applications and slide all the way to the right under "disabled" and click on Google Search, and then re-enable it.
Next, go to General Settings/Language & Input and make sure there is a check next to Google Voice Typing. Problem should be solved.

Speak to Alarm

Hello all,
Does the alarm on the S5 not allow voice to turn off (stop) or snooze by voice? Not seeing the setting for some reason.
Thank you

If you recall where I would appreciate a link. I have been searching and not seeing anything in the VZW forums. Perhaps they are in another S5 forum?

app disabler for moto g play?

Is there a recommended app to use to for moto G play to disable certain apps? For instance, I use package disabler pro for my samsung s7.
I need to disable the google app from the long press home button for my 12 year old. We run norton family on chrome, but for whatever reason, the google now apps have always been exempt from norton filters. The phone did an update this morning and now I can't find any way to disable that feature or lock it with applock.

One more question I hope you'll know... As I was closing apps from the square "recent apps" button, the google search bar now appears at the top (and is accessible). Any ideas how to get rid of it? We are using Nova Launcher instead of google's native launcher, which helped get rid of the original google search bar on the home screen.

Nevermind, I figured it out after googling for a while. I had to restart the phone after your steps and then it no longer appeared in the recent apps screen.
