[Q] Enabling Google's "Ok, Google" Detection

[Jersey846]

Firstly, Merry Christmas Moto X peeps!

Ok so I am grateful for Motorola to include touches control. Love it. But I recently realized that enabling touchless control through Google Now on my Nexus 7 has a way faster hotword detection than the Motorola touchless control way. Unfortunately when I try to disable Touchless control on the Moto X and then enable Google's "Ok, Google" hotword detection the option is greyed out. I'm sure this has been discussed before but I was unable to find the answer. I have an unlocked bootloader, rooted, xposed, running stock 4.4.2. Is anybody aware of a method for enabling the Google Now hotword detection instead of Motorola's Touchless control?

Try UnleashTheGoogle to allow moto x for the hotword detection. This worked for me.

Is that an xposed module or an app?

Found the app, but the hotword detection is still greyed out.

Even if you did switch to it, You'd lose touchless control. It won't work when screen is off.

Also, it will take its share of battery life from you, where moto's touchless control battery drain is minor.

Just food for thought. ?

Great points. Didn't think of it not working when the screen was off. Or the battery drain for that matter. Much appreciated.

I don't know if it will work on screen off as I am still waiting for my moto x to arrive (got one as a secondary device and I am excited about it) but I am pretty sure the google now option to listen is greyed out because you don't have English US set as your system language (it's got to be US if you set it to UK for example it won't work) and then again you may have to set it again through google now options too for it to actually work. Give it a try and tell me how it goes.

I do have mine set to English US, but I have opted to stick with Moto's voice recognition due to the above advice. Thanks for the input though!
