Hi there, I've been using the Keyboard Case for a while, and it has been great, everything works flawlessly and I've even been able to leave my laptop at home whilst I program using Linux with Termux and a VNC server.
But anyways, back to the point, the keyboard has a Search Button, which replaces where there would be a Windows button on a regular Laptop, but, when I'm not in DeX mode, which is often, this button opens Google Assistant, which is not all that useful for me, if it could open the apps selector it would be great, or maybe Google Assistant for typing, that'd be nice, but if I've got a keyboard in front of me, I won't speak to it, I'll type on it.
Hope you can help me out, thank you.

Hi, I just got my atrix 4g for a couple of week. I currently using Alien rom and has hacked my lapdock to use full ubuntu. I got a few questions regarding the phone and the lapdock. Any help is greatly appreciated.
1/ Alien rom use kernel that has overlocking function. Do I need any special inatallations to use it or can I just grab one of those CPU control app on the market and use them?
2/ I followed the stickie guide in general section to upgrade my lapdock to use full ubuntu using webtop2sd. However, the firefox application on my lapdock keep crashing. The the google chrome browser cant access any of the google services. It keeps saying the the website was down or has been moved. How do I fix these issues?
3/ when you quickly press the home soft key twice, it launches the stock web browser. Is there anyway to remap this function to launch other apps? And apply it to other key also? Theres is an app on the market that did this, however it limit to only long pressing the search key. However, this seemed to be built in to os itself so I think we might be able to have a broader options to use softkey to launch applications.
Thanks.

settings/manage applications/double tap home to launch
your can only choose from what's listed on the options, I believe. don't know if there's any mods to allow other apps to be able to open with that method.
if anyone knows otherwise, that info would be greatly be appreciated.
Hey guys,
i been lately thinking about getting a Bluetooth receiver in my car,
finally i found this good idea, bought it 2 weeks ago, and got it delivered today
http://www.ebay.com/itm/160918297575?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
so far I like it, and it charges with the same my phone charger cable, so no need for an extra cable in my car, it works great with my aux cable, the only issue i am facing is when i hold the function button to launch the voice search app, it brings up S Voice not Google now,
is there any way to substitute?

If you go into S-voice settings there should be a box to uncheck....?
You can turn off S Voice being linked to the home button, then search around on the Play Store until you find a third party app that lets you map buttons to launch apps. Set it to launch Google Now from the home button via a long press/double tap/whatever you'd like, and you should be all set.

Thanks for ur help,
i use Home 2 Shortcut app to launch Google Now with double home button press, but i need to launch Google Now from my Bluetooth function button without taking my phone out of my pocket
I personally prefer SVoice. One thing you can do on SVoice and NOT google....
"create a reminder for tomorrow at 11am.....call Rob about switching to Google Now"
SVoice will ask, "shall I create this appointment"....to which you simply say, "yes please"
Google will say, "I can't do that".....to which you simply say...."wish I had listened to that guy on xda forums".

I'm in the same boat as you. 95% of the voice commands I use are for dialing via bluetooth. My fiance is Asian and SVoice falls on it's face with her name whereas Google Voice never had an issue on my GNexus.
Just downloaded jelly bean hoping google now vpice is better then s voice

Google Now sets an appointment for me just fine on my S3 using this example exactly.
I remember there being a way on my phone to disable google now from starting when i long pressed the home button and a lot of people thought this also speeded the home button up.
I can't seem to find a way of disabling both google now and whats new on the tablet though.
can anyone help as id like to make my home button just a home button and nothing else.
thanks
james
Swipeup Utility from Google play can help you from accidently launch What's New.
You can disable Google Search in the apps, Google Now is part of the Google Search app.
I don't know about What's New, that doesn't seem to be disableable. Which is odd because it's obviously absolutely non-essential.

This Android TV box comes with Android 5.1.1 and its a P201. The thing is very smooth and runs well except for one thing. Whenever I hit the home button while in a app like Pandora or Google Play Music, the audio stops working immediately. If I hit the home button in any app I am in, its like the OS is completely killing the app. Why isn't there multitasking on this like on my Android phone. I would like to play music and surf Google Chrome but for some reason this isn't allowing background apps. Can someone help me out or point me in the right direction? I am willing to PayPal someone $10 if they can figure this out for me. I already have the device rooted if there are some things I need to tweak or change for it to work
Not a single person?
The home button kills the app, so by using it you close the app you wanted in background. It's a stupid bug or broken feature.
The only workaround I know is to use back button or task list to switch between apps or return to launcher
Does Google assistant work for anyone on this phone? When I long press the on screen home button nothing happens and OK Google no longer works. The OK Google works partially in the Google app but that is on an old version

Not sure if this will help, but depending on the ROM you have installed (ie Lineage, I couldn't get google voice to listen and follow instructions from any screen. On Eragon however (which I have on my phone) you have the option to use "OK Google" from any screen (and Voice lock can be used as well) & the Google voice menu is different in Eragon compared to Lineage. In Eragon - its under settings >> Google >> Voice
From what I saw in Lineage its kinda under Settings >> Google >> Search (and I saw a voice menu but it doesn't allow voice commands from anywhere on the phone, just within Google Now from what I worked out).. it was pretty confusing to me, but i guess each ROM has different google gapps etc..
But Eragon (for me anyway) didn't do this by default, what I did was install the Google Now Lanucher and use it maybe once, then Installed my usual launcher Nova Launcher Prime and I can use Ok Google commands anywhere on the phone, even at lockscreen, as long as screen is on , so you can unlock the phone with your voice if that's your thing.
I know the Google assistant is the new kinda Google Voice and I ain't to sure of the changes between them both if I'm honest. From what I have heard you can get a "light taster" of Google assistant in the Google Allo app (although I have not tried this). But I can use Google Voice anywhere on my phone with Eragon using the OK Google command, (infact I use it ALL the time in my car - only time i use it as its handy for making calls / texts especially combined with Drivemode app) (& no pressing of speech button) providing you install Google Now and then use your preferred launcher. Obvioulsy as its always listening I guess it will use more battery, but as I only use in car with charger, its cool for me. Anyway, hope it helps you somewhat

Thanks, but im on the stock ROM. I reflashed it yesterday but it still wouldn't work. Seems to be a problem with the Google app I think

are you using onscreen buttons (navigation bar)? If you're using the home button google assistant cant be accessed. If you use the onscreen button and press and hold the home button google assistant will open up

I have used the onscreen buttons. Does it work for you?
I'm on stock room no root in the UK and assistant is working for me. Only with the on screen software home button. I also have a Samsung galaxy tablet which still hasn't received it, figure that one out?

I couldn't get google assistant on Lineage at all I'm afraid (see my post above) , under Settings >> Google >> Search >> Voice on Eragon I get full functionality - unfortunately in Lineage it only has minimum Google Voice options (like you cant use voice from anywhere on handset - incl lock-screen)
There maybe a work around, (maybe ask in Lineage thread) but couldn't get it to work, I guess you can try and install Google Now Launcher (then just continue using your usual launcher) and see if it adds any further functionality - not an ideal solution as you have an extra launcher using resources in background, but worth a go
btw, there is another thread on the Elephone Forum which may help others regarding this: http://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=13230&fromuid=90419#.WMqlQTuLSUk
