Has anyone figured out a FC fix on the new material design Google Search 4.0?
turn off "ok google" hotword detection
I did same thing? You sure? It looks like you can also do ok Google from any screen but that closes too
Can't seem to sync my account even know it says it says off?
Maybe the New APP just isnt compatible with KitKat , only lollipop

Found a workaround i think. Try play stores open+mic for google. UPDATE: That app works for now
Did that app work for everyone that is getting FC?

All of them work for me on CM10.2 11/1 nightly except
-- to get exchange email working disable the old *exchange* under apps before seeing up the new email app.
-- Photosphere also crashes if you try to use it, and my camera FC'd after taking a picture. The new Gallery works great though.
-- Deskclock will not install
-- Voice search (using Google Now) will crash before it brings up a response unless you >> Hold down on homescreen, select settings, select Voice, change the voice (to English - UK for example). (update - better fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46994076#post46994076)
To get Google Home working
To install the new launcher (Google Home), you’ll have to install 3 different apps – Google Play Services 4.0, Google Search, and the Google Home .apk. (Cheers to Phandroid for figuring that out.)

Might have to download the offline English package. I had to do that to get it to work on another ROM. Its in the search/voice settings.

The desk clock works if you disable the current one and then you load the new one as a system app
Edit: it crashes when you set an alarm though

I am not able to the the "Ok Google" to work either. I can go into Google Now and click on the mic and say what I want and that works. Any suggestions?
Update: Got it working now with the OP fix link.
One question though is I thought you would be able to say, "OK Google" from home screen and it will start to do a search. Do I need the 4.4 home screen for this to work?

Most of the big ROM teams are working on 4.4 base now, CM, Slim, probably Paranoid Android etc. It shouldn't be long.

I looked on someone's stock gs3 and they have an app called photos, actually Google photos when you open it but it looks way different than g+photos. I tried to get the app from playstore but it doesn't show up.

Yeah, I've been using Open Mic +. It's pretty good and no need to use a different launcher. You can also customize it instead of saying "Ok Google." I just changed my activation word to "Google" and it automatically opens up Google Search and listens to what you want to say. Pretty convenient. You can turn it off and on. Just google it. I believe it's also in the play store.

Very minimal if any drain. I'm actually using the 2.4 version. 3.5 is the latest, and I'm not sure how good that one is, but I've had no issues with mine. Also, people complaining about slow start up time isn't true. The 3-5 seconds it takes is only when you first start the app. After that, every time you say your hotword, it opens up quite fast and ready to listen. That's for 2.4 at least. I'm sure 3.5 has to be better.

When do we get material?
The only difference is the sound it makes when you activate voice search and the margin width and height between the home screen and the search bar (it's less). The only thing I was waiting for was the new app drawer icon- but I guess that's only with Material, so it's pretty much L exclusive at this point.

I had the same problem .... I first made sure my language was English (US) and then I did a few reboots... It finally worked... I had to say OK google in a weird accent (lol) .... Basically the hotword detection was so bad that I continued using my old launcher (The Z2 home port) as wanted google now launcher only for hotword detection(which did not work properly)
I found this tutorial and decided to make a video of it for you.It would work only with snapdragon 800 devices running Kitkat 4.4+ and rooted.This won't work otherwise at the moment.Make sure you update to the latest play services and Google search apps.

Anyone get this working on cloudyfa's G3 port? I've tried installing the updated Google play services (5.0.88) but it won't install. I was able to get it to work on Mahdi's 6/28 ROM with no problem.

works well for me on Eng Lang.
Has anyone tried this on the ATT version?
I did everything you said but when I get here to say "OK Google 3 times it wont listen to the first one.
With it force activated via language change etc, the camera will not record video, saying 'unable to record video while in call'. Untick the option for every screen listening and the camera is able to record once again.
So seems like it always listening makes the camera think it is permanently in a phone call. Annoying.
Sorry if it's mentioned already.
Make sure to disable LG "On Screen Phone" if you use it That's what stopped it working on my G2 (International)
Works perfectly on vs980 running cloudyfa g3 rom. Thank you!

Easiest solution I've found.
It doesn't get rid of the ring but you can set to launch nothing.
