Thanks for the well explained tutorial. Unfortunately couldn't get it work on my note 2 yet, will keep trying.
Does this configuration drink any significant amount of battery juice? Kindly share your experience. .

Unlike other apps Tasker needs lot of reading and experimenting before one can actually put into real use. I suggest you go through the Tasker guides on Pocketables.com, the great beginners guide by @brandall on XDA and YouTube videos. There are plenty to get you started. Good luck

well, the main complication is that tasker is very difficult to set up, configure properly and it's extremely powerful...
so, if i succeed, i'll upload directly my basic tasker profiles, so you can easily download them and you can skip the long and boring configuration part maybe this afternoon, if i have enough time

maybe this afternoon, if i have enough time It will work on any device don't panic it will work flawlessly install every plugin and module properly the secure settings plugin will also come in handy give device admin permissions to every app and plugin that demand it so it would work properly
Would you be able to explain how you set up tasker to toggle auto voice continuous mode every time you launch Google now? I can't figure it out

You can use a trigger based on an app status and use a task to toggle continuous mode off when google is launched and an exit task to toggle it on when google now is closed... To toggle continuous mode, create a new task, select plugin, autovoice continuous and configure it to start/stop (you will need 2 separate tasks, one for on and one for off)... I had some issues with this toggle, so i set another one to kill google now and launch continuous mode when screen is turned off; this worked most times for me...

updated OP: added in disclaimer that i'm using donate versions of the app and a couple of other stuff
updated OP #3: now you can find the profiles already set up for working configuration, just import them... hope they will work for you too, let me know

autovoice is not showing up google plugin api
Hi,
does it work for you know? How did you solve the problem?

Most of the time it can be solved simply by uninstalling and reinstalling autovoice. Make sure you enable API module in xposed and reboot before installing autovoice.
yes, the first issue is a common one, and i wrote it somwhere... you have to set tasker to disable autovoice continuous and re-enable it according to google now status... this will fix
according to the second one, i had it too, but later i saw it was unchecked "both" in the google api intagration settings... if you have already selected it, try to select only voice/text search, close autovoice and google now and to select both again... after enabling autovoice continuous it should work again (i fixed this way)
Unfortunately the profile for tasker given isn't working for me. It shows no active profiles. Tried everything to word given in OP but it still doesn't work. Can you please provide some info?
Tasker says "no active profile" on my phone too, but when enabling every trigger the recognision works... Try to toggle the toast notification on inside autovoice, so you will get a toast everytime phone recognizes a command/word... Toggle on the command toast continuous under continuous listening... If a toast isn't shown, some setting is wrong...

48GuideHi Guys!
How to merge Xposed, Tasker, Autovoice and Google Now all together
This is a guide about how to integrate tasker, xposed, autovoice and google now and get our device to work with voice (even when screen is off)
Read carefully the disclaimer and follow the guide only if you know what you’re doing
Credits
Credits go to all the developers who created the apps/plugins/xposed modules I use in this guide and also to @memnoc who wrote this useful guide that gave me this idea...
I got some ideas also reading guides around the web, but I haven’t found one which merges all this things all together, so here it is
Purpose
Disclaimer
I’m not responsible for bricked devices or wrong setups, this is a part of my personal setup and I’m sharing this “as is”…
Moreover pay attention when setting up tasker, because if you make any mistake you might put your phone in a “non-unlocking loop” and you will be cut off from it…
I'm not using free versions of the apps, but the donate ones! (should work also on free versions, not sure anyway)
Remember also that this setup can drain a lot of battery as it enables our phones to listen to commands even with screen off (you can put a tasker trigger to let it work only with screen on, for example)
I’ve tried this setup only with my phone and it works, so if you test this on yours and it works, please let me know
You can edit this instructions to fit your needs, those are only a guideline…
I’ve got a lot of profiles and tasks in my tasker homescreen because I’ve made a lot of automation, so if I miss something please let me know, I’ll add it asap
if you use my guide and follow my instructions, then you accept the disclaimer
Requirements
Missing parts
I will not write down how to install xposed, modules and so on (you already know)
I will only write how to merge everything
My setup
Let’s start
When you have met all the requirements, you can start:
Google api configuration:1) Open google api and tick both checkboxes and be sure autovoice is inside plugin list
Autovoice configuration:1) Open autovoice and toggle continuous listener switch on
2) enable google now api integration
3) Edit search type to “both”
Tasker configuration:Here there is the real important part… you will have to setup different tasks and toggles to have everything working, also because when you start google now autovoice continuous mode stops working and you have to re-enable it…
**if you want, you can download a minimum working profiles setup from OP#3, but i suggest you to read ths part anyway**
Keep in mind that if you want to perform tests or change anything during configuration you might need to restart autovoice continuous mode manually, as sometimes it stops working after configurations…
Nothing to worry about anyway
Moreover, if you restart autovoice, pay attention to be in tasker home screen after setting up a task or a trigger, because if you have any pending task/profile configuration autovoice continuous mode might not work properly
p.s. I had those issues on my device with many other tasker triggers and tasks, so you might not encounter them along you way
if Tasker asks you Root permissions, give them to it…
I set my recognition language to en-EN because I’m Italian, infact when I talk to my phone I prefer to do this in English so I will not trigger anything while speaking to my friends J. I also set up a trigger word (viper in my case) so if I’m talking to someone and I say “home” my device will not reconfigure itself for home (to do that I will have to say “viper home”)
When prompting a command after a trigger word, wait a couple of seconds and I suggest you to setup a timeout for command recognition after trigger word…
My device has not an unlock pattern/sim/password, so it’s quite simple to wake it up with a word… if your device has some security lockscreen protection, search in tasker/secure settings instructions how to remove it and re-enable it again (only required if you want your device to listen to you even if its screen is off)
allow tasker external access in preferences and also uncheck beginner mode (should work even without external access, but not sure)
1) Setup a state trigger, call it Autovoice Daemon, search for plugin/Assistant Event for tasker, click it and click “pencil icon in top-right corner” after configuration: it will auto configure itself, do not do anything else here
2) Link a task to it, call it Autovoice Daemon and add plugin/Autovoice Recognize and configure it like mine
edit language according to your likings
3) Create a new state trigger, call it Autovoice Google, search for plugin/Autovoice Recognized and configure it this way: event behaviour “true”, command filter is “google” and trigger word is “viper” (that's for me, you can change it as you prefer)
4) Link a task to it, call it GN and set it up this way
--to setup secure settings, click add/plugin/secure settings and configure them… you will need 3: the first one is to enable keyguard, the second one to disable it and the third one is to wake device (set it to wake both screen and keyboard)
Now, if you restart the autovoice continuous mode and turn display off, after saying “viper google” Google Now should appear on display and you can say "ok google" to do what you want (in the language you want)… google api integration is required to let google handle autovoice triggers
Remember that launching google now will break autovoice continuous mode, so you will need to find a way to disable continuous mode and to re-enable it according to your needs… tasker can easily handle that…
For example I set tasker to turn off continuous mode when google now is opened and to turn it on again when I lock device (this is enough for my likings)
I also set the phone to vibrate after recognition of “viper” trigger word, so I know when the trigger word has been accepted and I can tell the command…
Possibilities are unilimited let your fantasy guide you
Hope you liked the guide, if I missed something or you want more explanations, tell me please
have a nice day!

(requirements descripted in OP must be met to getting this working)
ok guys, here attached you can find the minimum required profiled/tasks for getting everything working...
i've tried to delete all tasker data from my setup and imported only those and it worked, so you shouldn't encounter issues...
to be sure it will work, verify in tasker preferences that beginner mode is unticked and external access is allowed...
pay attention that those come from my personal configuration, so there might be instructions/settings/profiles/etc not suitable for your personal configuration and so i STRONGLY suggest you to check my profiles and tasks before activating them, i won't be responsible for issues/bricked devices/hair loss or apocalypse
to import them, extract files from zip, put them to sd card, open tasker, click on profiles tab, select import and browse to the files...
the trigger word is "viper"
the word used to launch google now after saying "viper" is "google" (how much fantasy here)
the profile "autovoice recognised" is used only to make the phone vibrate when the trigger word is listened and recognized, so it's not "strictly" required to have everything working
in those profiles you won't fing anything to toggle autovoice continuous mode on/of or to preserve battery life, so if you set everything up the battery might drain very, VERY fast; sorry guys, but you will have to manage this on your own to fit your needs (anyway ask here if you want suggestions)
please edit those profile according to your likings, so for example you can set them/add others so as phone will isten to your voice when it's inside car dock, it might be useful when driving... i assume that in this scenario car charger will be plugged in, so battery won't drain too much
if i forget something please let me know
p.s. i won't write the detailed guide if those profiles work, because it woult take a lot of time and moreover you can deduce all the steps looking at profiles uploaded here...
if you want to change trigger word, jump here
Security Warning!
pay attention that enabling those profiles everyone who knows your trigger word can unlock and wake your device, even if an unlock sequence is set... i've not tested them with pin/password protection..
