GEM-703L B211 Stock - Changing Default Assistance app instead of HiVoice

Hi, does anyone know how can I change the default "Assistance App" action (when swiping up from the home button) from HiVoice to Google Voice Search?
I can't speak or understand Chinese, so I'd like to completely disable HiVoice. I obviously can't do that since Huawei disallowed it so instead I took all its permissions away but can't disallow it from Network Usage since it's a system app. I am not rooted.

Install Google Text to Speech from Playstore
settings/advanced/Language/Text_to_Speech/ -> select Google Text to Speech

get google assistant on android 5.1 and above

Please note:
I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL CREATOR OF THIS TWEAK
I have attached the file and the screenshot as evidence it works
How to enable google assistant with this tweak
1. Download this file
2. Install this file but don't run it yet
3. If you live in the UK like I do set you system language to the US or this app will force close on you
4. Go into voice input by going into settings -> language & input and then tap voice input and then tap on Enhanced voice input (if you don't do this then it will say that assistant is not you default assist app)
5. Then try out google assistant by long pressing the home button
6. And say what you want
Bugs:
It force closes sometimes but that is easily fixable by going into google assistant launcher and tapping the Google assistant icon down at the bottom
Some bugs but works 100% on a Vodafone smart first 7

google play Google TTS (text to speech) installer won't complete

Google play seems to allow an install to go ahead with this app, but once the installer has finished, instead of saying 'installed', the green install button simply reverts back to saying 'install' again.
If I go to settings > accessibility > text to speech output, all options remain greyed out, and apps that require this (i.e. my mapping app, Locus Map) can't access it.
am on stock sony android 6.0.1 model d5803.
any ideas at all please?

[FRP] LG Stylo 3 FRP Bypass - Boost Mobile LS777

[FRP] LG Stylo 3 FRP Bypass - Boost Mobile LS777
This tutorial is based off me freestyling then using the method of crashing the setup wizard i used on the TracFone variant here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/frp-lg-stylo-3-frp-bypass-tracfone-t3794325 . It works perfect for this model.
I'm hoping you have some experience manually removing FRP already before reading this. I'm trying to keep it short and simple. I did a video but I need to edit it before it get it online. First video! real basic but my future ones will be more professional.
Steps
1. Enable WIFI and enable Talkback then go to help then voice access and click on the title in the YouTube video not the share link. this will open YouTube.. bit different than others where you have the share ability available and you highlight the link.. hit share etc.
2. Go to the top right icon ( i )>settings> history & privacy or about> YouTube Terms Of Service. Next click top right home icon to get to chrome settings next scroll down and click settings scroll down to site settings and click it, click on location, it should say "location access is turned off for this device." click on the text highlighted in blue "turned off for this device." tap yes, click the highlighted text again if nothing pops up. Turn location on, tap agree, goto google location history, tap manage, now you are in google maps, top right click skip next hit the back arrow, now click the top left 3 lines (menu), tap "got it" now select start driving, tap "got it", top right click the microphone and say "settings" now you are in settings. If you don't land in settings but in the search just scroll over to "In Apps" and select "Settings" as it should show below.
3. While in security this first time go to Fingerprints and Security> phone administrators> turn find my device off by clicking deactivate. Now go to apps and disable/force stop then clear data/cache for each of these Guardian Gadget / Setup Wizard (should be 3) / Google Account Manager / Google Play Services.
4. Now goto bluetooth and turn on your bluetooth headset and pair the device. Restart your phone. Press your headset button and say "settings" you should get a message about google play services being disabled. enable it, hit back and go back into settings.
4b. Alternate step without headset: follow all steps above to get back into settings you will get a prompt along the way about google play services being disabled so enable it and get back to settings.
5. Go back to Fingerprints and Security and enable unknown sources. Get to google chrome and download these 3 apps and install / open each. Sidebar / quick shortcut maker / shortcut master lite. Swipe from the left on your phone with two fingers to bring the sidebar into view and add phone, file manager, chrome, google app, settings, quick shortcut maker and lastly shortcut master lite. Not all of these are required but if you want to screw around with finding some other shortcuts places they come in handy. I found a few other ways and also left them so that i could enable USB switch test and run UAT Universal Android Tool / Miracle Box / other boxes i have / apps to disable FRP via ADB. (this I haven't got around to just yet)
5b. Alternate step without headset: After you are in settings go to app> youtube> notifications> click top right icon ( i ), about then click on About Google Privacy Policy. Now you are in the browser.
6. **WARNING** whatever you do do NOT goto your android home via quick shortcut maker as it will throw up a message about FRP and auto reset/erase your phone disabling everything you've done thus far. So do not add it to sidebar or even click it.
7. Now click on settings and goto Apps, tap 3 dots, select show system apps and now you are going to Disable/Force Stop and clear Cache/Data of all these apps. Google App / Google Backup Transport / Google Calender Sync / Google Contacts Sync / Google Drive Promotion / Google One Time Init / Google Partner Setup / Google Play Services / Google Play Store / Google Services Framework / Google Text-To-Speech Engine / Setup Wizard (all 3).
8. Now pull into view the Sidebar and click on Shortcut Master Lite. Click on the top right 3 dots and click search. Type Setup Wizard into the bottom search field and click search. Now click on the first Setup Wizard link that shows. com.android.LGSetupWizard.SetupHomeInit and click launch.
9. You should be back at the setup screen. Forward through until you get to wifi and shut it off.
10. Now comes the last but fun part. We are going to crash the Setup Wizard. Go back to the start screen of the setup wizard and repeadtly go forward and back until the app crashes and do this until you see the home screen (remind you of iphone glitches? ha) it WILL work just have to do it many times. Once you get to the home screen, go into settings and enable developer mode then get into developer mode and enable OEM Unlock next goto Backup and Reset and reset your phone. DONE. Enjoy your phone now.

Sorry admins/mods accidentally posted to the wrong section. Can you move it for me please?

Change behavior of long-press on home?

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"

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
