Would it be possible? Including the voice wake functionality "Okay, Google Now" instead of "Hi Galaxy"?
How many would be interested in something like this?
Should not be too hard to do, what do you think?
Probably will need root to achieve it
----
SOLVED: using a very simple tasker profile/action (see here)
UPDATE: Install this tiny free app from the Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hu.viczian.deathtosvoice (created using Tasker App Factory)
Works on galaxy advancement

For some reason, I can now double tap home button and I get the option for S-voice or Google voice. I think I cleared the defaults in app settings.

Yeah I got this too. It happened after I installed SoundHound.
Now I have the options of
Google
S Voice
SoundHound
Interesting but without the option to activate gvoice with screen off its not a huge benefit. I tested open mic+ but it lacks admin rights to bypass the lockscreen etc.

The free version? I've tried that but I don't see a menu after double clicking home.

You mean root permissions?
Sorry, I was wrong. I thought S-Voice is able to bypass a pin lockscreen but it isn't. It is only admin (not root) to allow the screen off command.
The problem of open mic+ is, that it is buggy. It seems to freeze after a short time. Sometimes Google Now freezes as well so I think it is because of Open Mic+ but I didn't tested it enough to verify it. S-Voice seems to be more stable, but is not present if you are in other apps like Maps.
But both systems are too weak in rights. e.g. I'm not able to stop apps (ok root would be needed), not able to say my lockscreen pin, stop a phone call, etc.
Tasker
I just had an idea: it should be possible to create a very simple tasker action, which would be triggered by opening s-voice. It would exit s-voice and switch immediatelly to Google Voice Search. This should work even without rooting.
If this would work, all the convenient ways to start S-Voice would become actually useful to start Google Voice search, including voice-wake, home-double-click, headset-long-press.
I will try this as soon as I get my N3
How do you want to exit S-Voice without root
There's the point! Okay, without root we can just switch away (would mic input focus stay? that would be a problem), with root it should be possible to kick s-voice too.
If one app opens the mic the other will display an error.
Tasker solution works well on unrooted phone

I am happy to report, that the solution I came up with before I had access to the Note 3 works without a hitch.
1. Enable wake-up hotword detection in S-Voice (keep double click Home if you like that too)
2. Create "S Voice" app-triggered tasker profile
3. The activated task should load "Voice Search"
4. Optional step: after starting voice search, my task also kills S-Voice to save memory
(and killing s-voice every time makes you me good)
There is no concurrency problem with the mic (as we were anticipating)
Say "Hi galaxy" while having the screen turned off
(I actually like to "say Die galaxy")
phone wakes up,
home screen unlocks,
s-voice flashes on screen for half a sec (beeps too)
then google voice search appears immediately
it too beeps and listens for the search term or command
Next project: it would be nice to be able to change the "hi galaxy" wake up command
The changeable wake up command is part of the Galaxy S4 S-Voice so I think it will be part in the Note 3 in one of the next updates (hopefully).
Of course I tested your idea, too. But it seems that it works better with Llama than with Tasker as Google Voice starts immediately. As I'm not rooted its not as perfect as yours (I need to tap backwards fast to bypass restarting Google Voice), but the goal is reached
Look:
http://www.maxrev.de/google-sprachsuche-statt-s-voice-mp4-v377253.htm
Update:
Ok I found a better solution. Know I'm using three rules instead of one and this is how it works:
Final Demo Video
The first rule starts Google Voice, but checks if the variable "googleSearch" is not 1 (this is important as it fails, too if the variable does not exist after rebooting the device). The second rules sets the var to "1" if Google Voice is open. The last rule resets the var to "0" with a delay of 3 seconds after Google Voice has been closed. So I'm having 3 seconds to close S Voice before Google Voice would start again.
If you don't want to here the "ping" sound of S Voice after closing Google Voice it would be possible to mute the device for 3 seconds as well, but I don't think this is really important

thats excellent Mgutt
the note does the transition across to google now/voice commands very quickly.. you have put the note back on the table as an option for my next phone.. im just holding out to see if the LG G2 will use the S800 for always on listening when it gets kitkat..
Im a bit spooked by AMOLED now that my galaxy S2 is marred by burn in

I'm having one problem left. But I think its because of Llamas limited amount of triggers. The problem is: Google Voice is not able to receive the next command while its open. Instead S Voice waits for the next "Hello Galaxy". To bypass this problem I tried to switch off the display automatically. This works, but only with a fixed delay as I'm not able to trigger "last touch/last talk + 10 seconds" with Llama.
Would this work with Tasker (and without Root)?
The next option would be to activate "Open Mic+" as long Google Voice is open. But I did not tested if this would work.

Well we can set the display timeout to 15sec, then restore the default (it's 30 sec for me because of smart stay) when google voice search disappears.
Because of the 30 sec display timeout it hasn't been much of a problem for me, but I was also wondering how to get it to prompt for a next question.
Curious: why doesn't the "ok, google" hotword work in google now? I've just tested the google experience launcher and hot word detection doesn't work in there either.

I'm using this setup (after 20 seconds display is turned off) and this is not good if you press the microphone button. Then the display switches off, too. So we need an additional "on touch" condition to avoid that.

Okay, then set the display timeout to 15sec, wait 15sec then set it back to whatever it used to be. Then if the screen was touched (and the display timeout extended) then it will stay on...
I hope to be able to test these with tasker in the afternoon
I used to be able to double tap home to open Google Now. Now it opens S Voice. How can I make it open Google Now.
Also... Does anyone actually prefer S Voice?
Thanks!

You need root for that, use Wanam xposed to configure double tap on hope run Google Now.

I am rooted, however, I cannot run Xposed because it borks games by SquareEnix, and I play FFIV lol. Thanks though!
Any other ideas?
very simple; Install home2 shortcut, assign double-click button to Google now. I have mine set to voice search, so I don't even have to hit my mic when I open google now.
Very convenient when driving
BTW, NO root required!
Even better for driving is to enable the "Hi Galaxy" wake command. Then use tasker to switch over to Google Voice Search each time S - voice runs. There's a 1 sec or so delay but it works and no hands required.

I now realize after switching to Nova launcher this disables the ability to return to your main home screen from another home screen. Is there any xposed or other solution I can use to avoid this issue? I already tried xbutton actions with no option to use double click home button to launch anything!
S for switch voice app in playstore. No root needed.
Greetings.
I just got this phone recently and I'm still trying everything out.
I'm running stock 4.4.2 kitkat, the build is D80220H.
So now I'm tinkering with Google now and it's voice powered search.
When I press the microphone button it starts to listen to me and it works properly that way.
So first, my settings are:
Search language is set to English (US).
In VOICE settings, default language is set to English (US).
In Ok Google tab, " From the Google app" is set to ON, but it doesn't react when I say " Ok Google".
When I try to set " From any screen" to on, it asks me to say " Ok Google" 3 times but the microphone is off or something because it just doesn't hear me, it does not listen to me.
So basically, I can't control google now with my voice. How do I fix this?
Anyone..?
Tried deleting updates for "Google" app, disabled and then enabled. Nothing.
Still not hearing me when it is asking me to repeat ok google 3 times.
Seriously, no one ever encountered this on their G2?
Got the fix.
You need to disable On-Screen Phone in accessibility options.
Thanks to reddit user Muhh24 for this.
And whole r/lgg2 subreddit.
Anyone rooted get the update? It's working on my wife's non-rooted mxpe, but my rooted phone didn't get anything yet.
I just got it on rooted stock mxp.
Not happy that it doesn't integrate with Moto Voice at all....And GA with screen off doesn't work despite setting in Google app saying it does.
Do you have moto voice on? I also don't have the option for ok google from any screen under the voice settings in the Google app and my wife's phone does. Weird.
How did you get the update? I for a security update this morning which is weird but I didn't think that was related.

It's all server side... You will know you have it by long-pressing the home button, if it pops up with Google Assistant you have it, if it doesn't then Google hasn't turned it on for you yet.

Does Assistant pop up running the Google now launcher for you? I have feeds on and currently a long press just goes to the left Google now screen.

Yes it does... In both Google Now and Nova Prime.
It does appear that the only way to wake the pure is to have moto voice enabled. When activating moto voice it only starts the classic google now interface, not google assistant. I've tried disabling moto voice -- if you do, you can't wake the device from sleep with just your voice. I'm going to follow this thread, maybe someone will find a way?
Using Tasker (and being rooted with Magisk), I was able to get "OK Google" (my custom phrase) waking Moto Voice, then immediately launching Google Assistant. However, it only seems to work right when the screen is already on. If I turn the screen off and say "OK Google", Moto Voice launches, but Tasker never launches the shell command to launch Google Assistant. Not sure what the problem is.
Profile
Event - App (Moto Voice)
Task - Run Shell (/sbin/su -c "input keyevent 219") - if you use SuperSU or something you can just check the Root box, and can just put "input keyevent 219)
I've tried adding delays to the profile, etc... but it almost seems like the Moto Voice screen that comes up when the screen is on is "Moto Voice", but when the screen is off it's not.
Seems like we'll need an update from Motorola to truly solve this.
Running LineageOS 02/13 build. Got Google Assistant working. But OK Google detection works only when on home screen (Nova Launcher). Also I have set the Home button long press action to 'Search Assistant'.
OK Google detection setting is actually greyed out in Google App. But it's somehow working.
P.S: I have opted for Google Beta in playstore.
How to enable google voice Assistant on any app , screen on miui 8 marshmallow
Go to settings/installed apps/ on the bottom you'll see an option defaults and more, click on defaults , on this screen on the bottom select voice and Assistant input , select assist app and select google app, and now register your voice on Google Assistant and you are set
I was trying all kinds of stuff and couldn't make it work. And you nailed it with this simple thing I did not know about. Thank you so much!
I'm glad it helped, I've been looking on all android forums and i was messing with the settings until i found the solution, btw sorry for my bad English
I did that with all my MIUI devices, but it doesn't fix the problem, that it's not working when not charging and/or device is screen-off.
If you are on marshmallow there is a module called Google Assistant for non nougat devices

Did you manage to get google assitant enabled with screen off?
It's resetting after running the Security app given by MIUI 8. Then I have to go again and set default voice assistant to google..
Anyway to fix this issue..?

My hardware is: Xiami mix, MIUI V9.2.2.0 N
My is MIX 2 Version 9.5 the newest one and have been trying all above and more but still does not work. It says initializing or Google voice search is not supported by your device, after clicking microphone icon on google keyboard. If I press microphone icon on Google Maps or others, it will pop up and google microphone and immediately close in less than a second.
