nvm, i am stupid
You should have an app in your App Drawer already called "Google". Just run that, the option to turn Google Now back on should be in there. Keep in mind that Google Now does not appear as a separate app, it's a part of Google Search and the launcher. It can only be turned off, not uninstalled.

When I long-press the home button, a big half-ring comes up, with a big Google button at the top (that takes you to Google Now). The rest of the ring shows nothing.
Is that it? Is there anything I can do to customize this? The size of the half-ring visually suggests that other 'buttons' could live on that ring and be swiped to, but I've found no settings to allow that.
As it stands, seems like a silly and redundant function, given that I can already swipe up, or swipe right, to get to Google Now.
Features can be added in most custom ROMs, but not stock.

Bump!
I am running stock 5.1 on my N5 with Nova launcher. I am presented with a few options when I long press home, back, and recents. I preferred search but wanted to try screen off.
How do I clear defaults for this selection?? I'm going nuts trying to find the setting.
I don't think its a launcher setting. It happens with Nova and gNow launchers. I tried clearing the google apps defaults, no go.
Any suggestions?
EDIT!!!!
Found it!!!!
Its a Greenify feature. Cleared Greenify's defaults. Resolved.
I can select from Google, Tasker, Secure Settings, and "Complete action using Hibernate + Lock Screen" with a Greenify icon to the left. Interesting.

Oh my, why did you bump a 2 year old thread...
[ROOT] "Say OK Google" permanent in GNL and Hotword Detection in all screens
In the Google Now Launcher, As part of the "training" a message/prompt appears in the search bar that says "Say OK Google".
I know that I and a few other people on XDA and around the web found this feature quite neat and its little animations were quite nice.
However, after saying "OK Google" a few times to activate the Voice Search, the text would disappear as you were now "trained" and knew how to use the Hotword.
I was quite bummed by this obviously and always tried to get it back by clearing Google Search's data, which would reset my launcher settings too. This would reset the "training" and bring back the text but it had a downside and would also clear away all the apps/folders/widgets that I had on my homescreens.
A few days ago, Google Search was updated and a new feature was introduced which would enable you to say the OK Google Hotword on every screen e.g apps, lockscreen (You could only do this on homescreens in GNL previously). Unfortunately, Google decided to not make this feature available on the Moto X and Moto G (Which I currently have).
I found a thread on XDA which showed me how to enable this feature via a ROOT app called Unleash The Google
Basically, the app enables the dogfood/experimental/developer features of Google Search via Google Search Settings
After messing around with the new DogFood Features, I discovered that I could make the "Say OK Google" Text in GNL's Search Bar permanent instead of disappearing after a few uses.
I will tell you how to make the text permanent firstand later explain how to enable Hotword Detection on every screen
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Download Unleash the Google
2. Install the app and open it. After it finishes loading, you should see a screen that tells you to force stop Google Search. Do so by going to Apps and FSing the Google Search app.
3. Now scroll down the Google Now screen, press the 3 dots and click Settings.
4. You should now see a space on the bottom that says Config Flags. Click it.
a) To get the "Say OK Google" Text all the time, press the 6th setting titled "Always_show_hotword..."
b) To enable the "OK Google Hotword on every screen" feature, turn on "Enable_E300" and "E300_Voice_Everywhere". scroll down to "speaker_id_supported_locales" and press it. type in "en-US" (Must be that and Im pretty sure its case sensitive).
5.After doing that, scroll all the way to the bottom and press "Save Config Settings".
6. Press the Home button on your Nav Bar and then press the search box.
You should now see the "Say OK Google" Text on your search bar and/or be able to say the "OK Google" Hotword from every screen by activating it by going back to "Google Search Settings" > Pressing Voice > Enable Audio History > Press OK Google Detection > Enable "From any screen" and/or "From lock screen". You should see a new screen with prompts. Complete Them and every thing should work fine !
Need to mention that I haven't enabled these settings for long so I'm still not 100% sure if the text will stay on forever
Don't forget to hit thanks if this helped you!
not working
I was looking for this for a really long time thank you
But this doesn't work on latest google version on 5.0.2 please man I really need this
I used trebuchet's new feature to protect a folder and now I cannot find the messaging app that was in it. It is the default messenger app. I can get to it from the Google launcher but it had disappeared from trebuchet. I unchecked it from the protected apps list also but still cannot find it. Does anybody know how to get those apps back or where to re-enable them? I also tried resetting the locked apps in the settings menu of the protected apps and that did not bring it back either. Other apps that I set to protected did not disappear like the messenger app did. They all showed back up.
I've just noticed that the Google search bar on my home screen no longer displays my previous searches. I cannot see anything in the settings of the Google app that have changed.
Anyone know what I can do to get them back?
Running stock 5.1, Google Now Launcher, rooted & with Xposed.
Can a mod close or delete this thread. It's suddenly started working again
I want to change the behavior of the long-press on the home button so it doesn't try to launch assistant. I'd like it to do nothing.
I tried disabling assistant, but this just displays an obnoxious banner telling me to turn on assistant.
I did find this app that allows you to remap the button to all sorts of things, but would prefer something that doesn't need all those permissions.
This is with 3-button navigation enabled as I'm using Nova Launcher on Android 10. Phone is not rooted.
[edit] and of course, I found the answer immediately after posting the question:
Settings > Apps & Notifications > Default apps > Assist app - change it to "None"

Only thing is if you use the "Squeeze" for Google Assistant it disables that too. Which is good or bad depending on how you feel about GA. I just got mine today so I'm still playing with things. Might delete later,IDK.
