Went lazy and just removed the apk on system, ran searches a couple of times using en-US, then edited two lines with hex editor and changed permissions. Works everytime.

You just need to re-apply the trick (edit the bin file and replace en-CA by your own language), reboot and you have 'Ok Google' working again. :cowboy:

Not working anymore :(

Hello all,

I used the first method, worked like a charm. In my case I used es-MX (Spanish Mexico). However, I suppose an update on google search was applied (in automatic, my mistake to let automatic updates). And now the option in settings of hot word is not visible (when configured other language different to en-US). I reapplied the method, but this time it does not work. If I change back to en-US the language I can see the checkbox in settings of "hot word", but in spanish Mexico it dissapears. :(

If anyone has a work around, please share. Thanks in advance!
[Android Software Development] lukes91:
you have to change en-CA, not en-US, maybe this is the issue :)

after updating the app, recognition stop working for me too, but i applied the fix again and worked like a charm :)
[Android Software Development] kryzeK:
Thus appears to me after the update. Try the Root Explorer and did not work with ES File Explorer worked perfectly.
[Android Software Development] lukes91:
known issue... open google now and then again the setting file, you should see latin letters...
[Android Software Development] milestegfreeze:
Hello everyone,

I tried both methods and it didn't work. Every time when I reboot and open Google now it's like I'm a new user and have to accept the usage by clicking next.

The micro icon is white and do not propose OK google

When I open again the file it's back with en-CA.

I'm on custom ROM (PA 4 beta 6) and custom kernel (hell's core)

Thanks guys

Because if you talk about dalvik cache and cache with the reboot I've already tried it.

Nice video tutorial, maybe put a link + a mention about where you found it and who realized the hack, so more people can enjoy it and I can put the video in OP

PS. Also the tutorial is a bit wrong, the way you did it you'll probably loose the hack after a reboot, you need to give permission to the bin file and reboot the system to check if it's ok

It's fun, because you can change the hotword (mine says "Say "Ok Chango""), but it only responds to "Ok Google" :(

Yes, i think you have to decomplie the apk and recompile it again after modding it and setting the hotword you want

Works well on first try! Thank you bro :) But I have one question - right after first reboot in the google widget were written "Say Ok Google" but it was translated in my language(slovak) so it was "Vyslovte Ok Google" and I f*ckin liked that! but it dissappeared after few minutes :/ can I somehow bring it back?
[Android Software Development] memnoc:
It's an initial hint that Google made as suggested how-to, hence it is supposed to be temporary.. Only way to bring it back is delete quicksearch data afaik

[MENTION=3709686]memnoc[/MENTION], following method 1, I edited the line to "micro_hotword.data,OK Google,en-USEnglish,en-US/" for USA. Is this correct? It doesn't seem to be working.. I set permissions 777 for the file and restarted. I noticed the file gets reverted to the previous state, or to a state where there's barely any text in the file and I have to run google search for it to ask me to enable Google Now all over again and then I'm back to en-CA. Do I still need to set perms for folders? If so, which folder(s) ?

Why are you trying to enable the hotword in English US when you have the native support for it?

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Software Development] Prasad:
I'm following the OP. Trying to get this to work on Sense Launcher. What am I doing wrong?
[Android Software Development] memnoc:
Well, on one hand, I collected some reports from user running sense 5 with the quickbar working like aosp, on the other hand, I have some of them reporting me the hack doesn't work on sense. So, it appears to me you are not using Es file explorer like I stated in op, are you? Moreover, what you're trying to do it's a bit pointless as I said, because you do have native support for your language, so if it's not working, means basically that HTC screwed up the widget bar, so it's not working like it should, it happens in third party launchers. However, you can still try, and what I would try personally is to see if Canadian support is working and you have the ability to set an hotword first, if you don't, it's pointless trying, because this hack exploits the native support to make it works in other languages ,but if you don't have a native support at all, this hack it's completely useless.

[Android Software Development] Prasad:
I was using FX file explorer which is another free root explorer with an inbuilt text editor. Also, like I said, the changes are reverting and don't stick (either after rebooting or running google search), so I'm not sure if I'm even doing it right, let alone assess whether it's working on Sense or not.

Hello! I'm following method 1 to the letter and after rebooting the file comes back to original.

Any ideas why?

I've checked and it's saving correctly before reboot. I got root rights in explorer and stuff.

Maybe App Settings xposed module is messing? I have set a different language to Google Now (my system is english and google now (launcher and search) is pt-BR)
[Android Software Development] pwvandeursen:
For those of you whom are struggling with the hack not being persistant, the order of steps is very important. Especially to reboot IMMEDIATELY after setting the permissions. DO NOT open the search app and set the corrext language. First reboot, then set you language. This has worked with me after a lot of frustrating failures and intermittend behaviour.
[Android Software Development] danyf90:
Hi, i'm trying to use method 1 to set ok google for italian language. I have modified the file and setting the perimission to 777 but after the reboot Google now is disabled, when i open it it is like the first time i opened it and then if i check StartupSettings.bin it is as it was before modifications.

Another thing: at the end of method 1 procedure you say "(like you did for the folder )" but in the method there are no things to do to the folder. I think it is here from a old version of the method but you should remove it because it could confuse someone.

Regards,

Hey,

I don't know what's wrong, I have two LG G2 over here, and a modded Galaxy S3 with AOSP.

On my LG G2 (with Android 4.4.2, a copy of the LG G3 ROM), I followed every step of your instructions, and it worked flawlessly. Still works, even after several reboots and after disabling Google Now. Great! Just wish it could be always listening.

But on the S3 (with 4.4.2) and on my brother's LG G2 (exactly the same as mine, with the exact same ROM, but different apps), this mod doesn't stick.

> On the LG G2, I "patch" it, reboot and I'm able to select my mother language and use OK Google from the home screen. Great, but Google Now seems to be not installed (has it detected a file corruption?) and asks for installation. Installs fine and OK google works fine, as long as it doesn't reboot. It been running fine, answering to OK google since yesterday, but if I reboot the phone, it loses OK google instantly.

> On the S3, things are a bit different. I patch it and reboot. It asks to reinstall Google Now and settings stick even after several reboots (I see "Hotword Detection" with my mother language selected). But it doesn't last after I use OK Google once.

On every phone, I'm selecting rwxrwxrwx for permissions, but they all return to -rw-------, even mine that works. I've tried everything that's on the book, followed several instructions, even one that had me to change files from a folder to another (old version). No dice.

What should I do? Why does it work on my phone, and my brother's doesn't?

P.S.: I don't remember if my phone asked for a Google Now reinstallation. May it be the problem?
