I found this tutorial and decided to make a video of it for you.It would work only with snapdragon 800 devices running Kitkat 4.4+ and rooted.This won't work otherwise at the moment.Make sure you update to the latest play services and Google search apps.

Has anyone tried getting en-UK to work with this mod at all? I heard its not supported officially but has anyone gave it a shot?

Yes it works
But sometimes when google search get killed you have tap it again to make this work.
Is there anyway to keep this alive?

Using it now. Only works with English (US) as far as I can tell. Anyone knows if this thing uses the low power sensor processor portion of the snapdragon 800?
I don't seem to get an option for Debug in google search to enable those options. what went wrong?
Hi Guys,
Just now I found where is my problem with "ok google". The LG On-Screen-Phone notification system is somehow incompatible with the OK Google keyword detection.
To disable it, go to Settings > General > System > Accessibility > Services and disable the On-Screen-Phone notifications.
After the change of the open search everything worked. But I still had a problem with detection on the desktop. Here it turned out that only works with the Google search widget 4x1.
Already everything is perfect.

Most likely not. It just runs as a background app and keeps a wakelock when the phone is charging. To use the low power sensor of the SD800 it would require some deep kernel coding.
Sorted...didn't had the latest google search...installed the update from play store and voila the steps mentioned worked! Thanks

Now with Nougat Support!
Shout to Rovo89 for the Xposed Framework, and the various people who inspired this.
Sensor Disabler (previously known as Disable Proximity) is an Xposed application that allows you to disable or modify most of the sensors on your device, including the proximity sensor. It supports Tasker for changing the sensor status (via In-App Purchase), a blacklist/whitelist for choosing how certain apps will respond to Sensor Disabler, and a reliable and efficient way of modifying and disabling sensors without causing unnecessary slowdown on the device.
I can't offer support for phones that I don't own, but if your phone runs a close to AOSP ROM (for instance Nexus devices) or a CM-based/Lineage ROM (which I can easily see the sources for), this should work. If you're having issues, try to gather the logs from the Xposed app that relate directly to this app and post them here as well as your issue. I recommend reading over the logs yourself to see if the issue might be with your Xposed installation and not the app itself.

Thanks. Possibly, using the Hardware Disabler app on the Play Store. I've never gotten that to work for me, though.
There might also be a way to truly truly disable it using Xposed, but I'd need to delve extremely deep into the Android sources. I'll look more into it, but definitely no promises.
Could you make an app that has an interface and that can disable touch?
Basically when I put YouTube on my device and give it to my daughter to watch her cartoons she presses the screen and videos go back and forth and even exit, I've tried searching everywhere for a touch disable option, there's 2 apps on the play store but don't work, are very old and outdated...
If anybody knows where I can find one please let me know....

To get OT for a minute, while this might be possible, there are some inherent difficulties associated with this. You should look into an app like Live Lock: YouTube & Kids Lock for Android. Best of luck!

Hmm. I'll have to wait until I get get the 4.4.4 source straight. Expect an update in a day or so for that.

Instead of disabling the sensor, you could try recalibrating, as described in this post. it worked for my Sprint GN2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569141
Since the N4 suffers an annoying bug which causes a crackling noise to the headset signal whenever the proyimity sensor is active, I'd like to request an option to disable the sensor only when headset is plugged.
It would be even better if you would consider to integrate your app with Tasker so we could disable the sensor on different contexts too.

I actually have been wanting to try out Tasker support, so I'll look into that. I think I can push an update that'll disable during headphone disconnected only in the next few days, then I'll work on Tasker support.
Thanks for responding so quickly and for considering my suggestions.

Thank you very much!!! :good: I finally solved a problem due to the proximity sensor (probably broken) whose wakelock plagued my battery after a call or automatic brightness; thank you!
Noob question: can RILJ wakelock also be related to the proximity sensor?

To be honest, I don't know. I've never come across the RILJ wakelock issue (literally had to Google it to figure out what you meant) but it could be a possibility?
Although, according to this article here, it has something to do with accessing your location.
My two cents is, go ahead and give my app a try and if it works, great! But I don't know anything about the RILJ wakelock issue to provide any concrete data on whether this will fix it or not. Doesn't hurt to try!
I went into google now search settings and performed the voice training and enabled the option for hot word detection from lock screen and power off but it doesn't work. the only time it works is when i'm at the home screen UNlocked OR at the google now search area. Screen off or from lock screen detection simply does not work.
does anyone else notice this?
I don't have the nexus 9 but I did install the latest google now search and launcher from apkmirror .com and there was an always listening option in 'hotword detection' in voice settings of the google now. There was also the screen off detection option but it was greyed out. I had the always listening in all apps option enabled and it was working greatly but the next day I woke up and the feature wasn't working so I went into settings and discovered that both of those options had disappeared (not greyed out but freaking disappeared), its some kind of google restriction, they are remotely restricting users from using these features for some unexplained reason.
Maybe its the same for u or it might be something else.
Same here, bit worked arter reboot
It works for a while after a reboot, but eventually stops working after a couple hours.
Looks like a common bug, I've seen some threads about this same issue (and I'm experiencing the same problem, too)

there is an option in Google Now -> Settings -> Voice -> OK google detection ....a check box exists here stating:
When Locked
Allow "OK Google" to start a voice search or action from a secure lock screen
so, it would seem that this is what was intended. perhaps what they meant here was that the screen has to be on and not timed out. dunno.
Yes, but screen has to be on. Only nexus 6 and 9 support GN with screen locked and off
Google search from locked screen works for a while and then stops. It's done this on my s4 and note 3. It is defenetly supposed to work from secure lock screen. In Google now settings there is a 3rd check box and you even get a warning stating anyone may be able to unlock your phone.
Google needs to fix this issue. I'm not sure what's up with these companies making screwed up software. Where are the devs, and why are they getting paid if they can't make flawless software. When I crash My car into a tree trying to unlock my phone and I press a law suit against google I'll bet they will fix it. Always takes a law suit to fix ****.
Oh. Anyone notice every app you've ever paid for or downloaded is under my apps "all" what's up with "all" I'll file my documents in my office under the "all" folder and see how quickly I get fired...Thanks for allowing me to rant.

Major issue
Hey guys!!
Just got my S6 Edge and loving everything about it so far except...
My Ok Google anywhere isn't working. It's not even presenting me an option to turn it on. Also "enable audio history" option is missing which I know is necessary to get it all working.
I have done a factory reset, enabled and disabled S Voice, primary language English US, and deleted app data etc! I am running a stock Telus Samsunf S edge. I don't know if it's firmware dependent or not.
If anyone can suggest anything else, I'm all ears!!
Thanks in advance!

Looks like they removed it I had it yesterday now it's gone there was a update last night
Ah, that's a shame. At least I'm not the only one!!
Hope they come to their senses and come out with an update to enable it again!
Yep was there yesterday and gone now.
Perhaps it was sucking too much battery? Can't say I really used it that much but it was a cool feature. Will just have to press and hold home button to use it! A bit of a pain!
Found a work around for now...
Using an app called "Now Gesture Tweaks" which allows me to press and hold the home button to activate Voice Search and Nova Launcher gesture "Swipe Up" for Google.
Gives us a similar effect.
voice your disapproval: @S6NoOKGoogle https://twitter.com/S6NoOKGoogle
Don't you guys have "google settings" in your app drawer? All "OK Google" settings are right there.
EDIT: My bad.. deep down to the detection settings, it is gone!! How!? So is this Samsung's fault or Google's fault?
Yup. It's global and it's just all the variants of the S6 & S6 Edge. Some Nexus devices seem to be broken but still have their options.

What is even more frustrating is that neither Google or Samsung is taking the heat for this,,,both are referring us to each other LOL,,,classic tactic.

Wow, just realized I don't need the widget at all for hotword to work. Cool
supposedly the 5.1.1 update will bring the OK Google functionality back.
Is your S-Voice App activated? Or did you disable that? I've read that either having it on or off might enable OK GOOGLE from any screen to work.

Hi,
So my dad is completely blind and I'm looking for an android phone that supports the 'ok Google from any screen' option. I let my dad listen to how I could use the ok google command to change radio stations in the tunein radio app on my s7 edge without having to touch the screen or press any buttons.
That's an ideal way for my dad to use the tunein app, I have an old galaxy s2 which I flashed a lollipop custom rom onto the phone in the hope it would add the option to allow ok google from any screen but that options missing in the voice settings and instead only has the option to use it from within the google search app which is no good for him.
Would I be right in saying that any new ish phone that's running Android 5 or above would have the option to say ok google from any screen? Also the ability to enable ok Google voice control from the lock screen when using either a wired /Bluetooth headset would be even better for my dad to operate the phone, that function works on my s7 edge but doesn't work on my s2 with the custom lollipop rom even though the setting is enabled.
