Google Now home button

Is there a way to be able to set Google Now to open on a long press of the home button? When I do it, it gives me the option to hit the Google Now link but can't I set it like s voice was before? Thanks!

It should auto open if you long press the menu button.

You can do this under CM 10. I am not sure if you are rooted and interested in using that ROM though.

Download an app from the Play Store called Home2 Shortcut. This will allow you to change the double click of the home button to use Google Now, or any other application that you want instead of S Voice.
I do that with my un-rooted Galaxy S3 i535. It's fantastic, just beware because Google Now doesn't play nice with your bluetooth headset is all.

I use Nova Launcher. I set it up to swipe any blank space on my phone to open Google Now. Its quick and simple.

I do the same with apex launcher. Works great, and is quicker than double tapping the home button.

[Q] Google Now Home Screen

On my old Nexus 5, the left most home screen is Google Now. How can I get that on my Galaxy S6? I miss it The only way to get to Google Now is to long press the Home button.

Every thing works fine but I have bug regarding ok google detention it ask every time to set trusted voice and I have to set up ok google detention. My google app version is 6.6.16.16.arm. I don't know if the problem is with xposed module nify, do you face any kind of problems.

There's an "Assistant Enabler" Xposed module to specifically make Google assistant work, without breaking QS.

Using this on Freedom OS 1.6.1. Everything but trusted voice works.

Does Google assistant on 3.5.4 is different from OxygenOS 3.2.7. ?

It's not included in 3.5.4. What you get from the xposed modules is the same in both roms.

Android O Public Beta - Google Play forces apps on home page?

I decided to try the beta on my personal Pixel and it's been good for the most part. I'd say very stable for daily use.
However I've noticed I can no longer stop apps from making a shortcut on my home page. So if I install 20 apps I'm forced to grab them and remove them.
Anyway to stop this or is this the way Google is going with O?

Its on the launcher settings now. Pinch out on launcher, tap settings, and the option is there.

Use it to change the settings then go back to Launcher3 or whatever you use.

Why, the way I do it works fine, first thing I open after install (playstore) to stop automatic updates, then install my launcher, and delete the Google launcher, it's all good man
