[Q] Lost hotword detection, can't even run setup

[rebdogg]

I've been using the OK Google hotword detection since I've installed the rooted 4.4.2 leaked rom and everything has been fine for a month or so. Just recently it completely stopped working, voice search now only works if I hit the microphone button. Even if I uninstall Google Search and reinstall it and try to run the setup again it won't work. When it asks me to train my voice and say "OK google" three times it won't pick up anything.

So this all started when I woke up one morning and my alarm clock Sleep Genius had an error and stopped working, and when I forced closed it and hit the home button I had to pick the launcher again (I've been using Apex) . So I picked Apex again and noticed my background was different than what I had before. Don't know if that has to do with anything but that's when I noticed hotword detection stopped working. I uninstalled both apps to see if that would work and still nothing. Any ideas? Thanks.

Silly question: have you restarted the phone? You didn't state that in your post.

Also, have you tried clearing cache/dalvik?

Okay so I tried wiping the caches and that didn't do anything. I started digging a bit more into this (searched Google and about 15 pages in found this) - disabling apps that are turned on under the Accessibility menu. Turned off Music Boss, Pebble watch and Lightflow. Sure enough started working again!

Will this effect how any of these apps work? I tested out my pebble and it still got a notification so everything seems fine so far.

Thanks for the help though!
