[Q] Hacking Voice Actions... - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I remember sometime in 2009, when google navigation was restrict to US, some people used to Hack it to make it work outside the US...
Nowadays, Voice Action is restrict in english... The app is there.. if I change my locale settings to English US, it works... But when I set it back to portuguese, it only works in search mode...
I was then wondering if it was possible to hack it to make it work in other languages, since it can already recognize speech pretty well in portuguese...
Thanks...

i was thinking the same thing but i dont now if its possible!
if anyone could help?

[Q] Starting app with different locale

Hello!
I live in germany, but I prefer to have my phone in english language. Therefore I have set the locale to "en_DE". But there are some applications, I would like to run in german language (like NAVIGON navigation for family members..). I think the solution would be a shortcut or bash startscript with something like "LC_LANG or LC_ALL=de_DE /mnt/sd/NAVIGON/navigonstart"...
Can somebody tell me what I have to do?
Thank you very much! oh btw, I am using CyanogenMod 7.
Nobody can help?

[Q] Google Voice Search vs. System language.

Hello
I have faced one problem with Google Voice Search. I need it to recognise polish language (and that's not problem - works perfectly), buy I have also noticed, that Voice Search recognises that language, which is set as system language.
That's very annoying, beacause a lot of great ROM's here do not have polish support, which means that I will not be able to use Voice Search (talking in English isn't any problem for me, but using it for looking for polish websites etc. is almost impossible).
So, my main question: is there any option to set the language recognised by Google Voice Search manually ? Or it always recognises the language, which is set as system language ?
Thank you for your help and replies

[Q] Google Offline Voice to Text Issues - Bug

Hello there,
So as I didn't find any threads pertaining to Google Offline Voice to Text issues, I thought 'Great, I'm the one online with this kind of problem, there is probably an easy fix'
Setting: Google Offline Voice to Text, text messaging. Trilingual French English German. OS set up for Canada, English (For software I prefer the English interface for its greater practicality and generally greater usefulness).
Situation: when using Google Voice to create texts, no matter what language is selected, it always reverts to English. I click on the language selection, select French, start talking and hear the voice recognition immediately reverting back to English. If I reselect it again, it sticks, until I stop and restart it and then it's the same aggravation again.
It does not matter what language is selected on the keyboard. It ALWAYS goes back to English, as if selecting another language was an error.
Is there something I can do to work around this aggravation? It's already very poor at recognizing French as it is... English works great, but French is horrible. And I'm a native French Speaker!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have to go now but will be back at the end of the day. Thanks in advance for your help!

[QUESTION] - Getting Google Assistant to work without changing phone language?

Hello fellow Android users
I would like to use the Google Assistant with it's commands and cool features on my Nexus 5X, but the problem is that you need a) nougat & b) either English or German system-wide language/locale. But I don't want to change my whole phone to English, I woul like to keep it in my native language (Czech). It wouldnt be a problem with Marshmellow because there you could change the language/locale on a per-app basis using an Xposed module AppSettings. So my question is, does anybody know about a way to do it in this situation? To change the language just for the Google app so that it thinks my phone is in English and it allows me to use Google Assistant?
btw. I know I have to change the build.prop and stuffs I actually got Assistant working if I change the whole phone to English, so that's not a problem for me.
Thanks for any help.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
International versions ship with Google Assistant.
So,set that up & perhaps you can enable the phone to unlock by voice/OK Google.
Lots of good people here who are willing to help,should you need it.
Enjoy the new phone! :good:
thank you. will definitely try this method tonight to see how well it goes.. google play comes stock on it and all apps from the market works without the need for sideload.
So i was able to set the assistant to unlock the screen.. the mandarin word is pronounced pretty close to "soo-soo" when you say it drawn out.. its sufficent for me as i did not want face unlock and to constantly tap to awaken.. the google assistant did not work as you cant move (ollie assistant ) from default.. thank you again greatly..
