So, i downloaded Google Assistant from the play market on the watches, and was able to bind it to replace Samsung Pay with GW4 Remap.
Though, "com.google.android.wearable.assistant/com.google.android.wearable.assistant.MainActivity" doesn't turn on the voice record right after launching the app.
How do i know what to type instead of "MainActivity" at the end, so that it would record my voice right from the start?
I know that it is doable since normal launch through the apps records voice right as i launch it just fine.
Also ***erto's google assistant has an "AudioRecordActivity" which doesn't seem to work for the standart assistant.
Any help? How do i know what to type?
You can now map assistant to the button directly without needing 3rd party tools (unless you're trying to map to the secondary button)

I'm not sure what you're talking about, I've got Google assistant mapped as long press of primary key, Google wallet/pay mapped as double press of primary key, and recent apps as secondary key.

I've got no way of changing how long press on primary button acts. I also don't have bixby at all (Though i am singed in through Samsung Health)

Turns out it's because there is no bixby in Russia, so, now i gotta figure out how to deal with this.
Location could be the reason, but another reason may be if your watch isn't up to date. I've attached the versions I'm on.
I think if you want to use that remapping thing, you're better off using Assistant Go or whatever.

actually, location is the reason, and I'm still trying to find a way to boot assistant with voice record active using gw4 remap.
Thanks.
You need:

I install an app on the playstore for remote control of kodi on my htpc computer , after uninstalling it , noticed when I long press and hold my home button It no longer opens up voice search, it opends google now cards page I then have to click on the mic button at the top to perform a voice search.
is there a way to reset this ? , I uninstalled updates on google app cleared data ect , now when I press and hold my home button I only get these 2 options.
if I select "google" it opends google now page (same way as above)
looking for a way tog et pack the long press home button and you can instantly start talking to the google voice .
im stock rooted
Just turn on 'okay google anywhere' and you can activate voice commands without touching anything.

Try download Tasker, secure settings or greenify. Open them, restart phone. Open agian. Go to home screen. Long press home button. Choose what you want. ?

installed greenify rebooted long press home screen , have more options but same result as before , if I select Google it opens the Google now page and not the voice search .
also tried secure settings but I get less options then I did with greenify. some reason I just cant get voice search to appear when I long press home button.
See here. Those of you with phones can check. Nice if it could be mapped to something else.
That's a dirty way of remapping a button, might as well use tasker.
Bxactions is much better. It does not flash bixby and simply open right into Google now with zero lag.

Hi everyone,
Really interested in people's thoughts on the Bixby Button.
Initially I hated it, but after a) accidentally pressing it less since thanks to muscle memory, and more importantly b) the ability to make it do anything other than launch Bixby (such as double press for Google Assistant, long press for flashlight) I have found myself appreciating the existence of this extra button. So much so in fact, that speculation it could be removed in the Galaxy S10 have kind of dissapointed me.
So what do you think? Should the Bixby button stay, or should it be removed? Vote in the poll and share your thoughts in the comments!
It needs to go. Just go away.
If you could natively remap the button to whatever you choose, that would be great, but in the stock incarnation its terrible. Just horrible.
I disabled all of packages related to Bixby. In turn, it disabled the button.
The only thing it ever did for me was get accidentally hit and bumped.
die and move the volume buttons lower, until then I'm using bixby remapper as a screenshot, play/pause, skip and previous tracks shortcuts

Which remapper are you using?
I'm using ButtonMapper by flar2.
Single tap: nothing
Double tap: Google Assistant
Long Press: Flashlight
I'm finding that it adds value to me (only in the scenario remapping tools exist) and id rather see it kept around.
Bixby
The Bixby button is nothing more than a bloody nuisance.
I accidently activated it so many times that I turned Bixby feature off. I hope Samsung are reading this.
Cheers
Aussie
I remap it using bxactions.
Single: Google Now
Double: Samsung Pay
Hold: Google Assistant
Samsung just needs to admit that Bixby is a failure. It was a cool concept with the S8, but they took WAY too long to fully release it, and when they did, it was pretty terrible. Hell, I'd rather use Cortana than Bixby, and that's saying something...
Neither, I'd just like them to offer us the option to switch it to Google Assistant

bxactions from Jawomo, I paid for the pro version.
Bixby is good for in Phone stuff. But they should give us the option to remap it.
Those who say it should go away: If it was a Google Assistant button, would you feel the same way? It looks like the LG 7 will have a dedicated assistant button, and the Pixel XL2 has a dedicated "squeeze" action for Assistant, and no one complains about that.
I don't use Bixby, but by using a 3rd party app to use the Bixby button for other things I believe it's fairly useful.
Bixby Button Remapper works great. Just press it and Google Now opens up. It is fine for me.

I have a problem when I disable the Bixby button and press again comes the message from Samsung Reminder.
I really do not know how to turn it off and hope someone here can help me.

Haven't heard of this one, on the bright side, it's still more useful than Bixby
You could try Button Mapper (made by @flar2) to see if it could help you set single press = nothing.
Uncustomisable Bixby button is the worst thing a smartphone can have and it's death is a must, and it should not be even remembered as a nightmare post its demise. Only if Samsung gives "full freedom" to customize, it should be considered.
Hi , did anyone figure out how to get google assistant with gestures or with another shortcut?
Have not figured it out either. Had to switch to navigation buttons, setup google-assistant and go back to gestures. That way i can still trigger it by voice.
a long press on the fingerprint scanner would be an obvious choice for invokining a Google assistant, Is that something can be added with a 3rd party app.?

I haven't received the Phone yet but i can recommend Button Mapper for you to try.
let us know if you try that please =)
I'm using Nova and mapped swipe up with assistant. works great
Button Mapper does not register back fingerprint reader touch as an event it can act on.
Restorted to swipe up with Nova.. I just need to rewire my brain to use it instead of long press. I wish Nova allowed a long press on the docker app shelf icon could be assigned as the gesture. It would be a bit better.

Steps :
1. Download Google Assistant from Play store
2. Update your One plus Launcher
3. Open Shelf
4. Toolbox
5. Add new tool.
6. Click on Assistant
7. Select Application [Shortcuts not required]
8. Save
You will see a assistant button in shelf, just click assistant will be open.
Hi guys, I used Button Mapper to map a double tap of the down volume button to Google Assistant and a double tap of the up volume button to invoke split screen, works great without interfering with the normal use of the volume buttons. Only thing I've noticed is I'm not seeing the "What's on my screen?" button but that must be something to do with Assistant...
Edit: Turned the nav bar on to check, when I open assistant with a long press of home I get the what's on my screen option, but not when I open it with the double tap from volume button, bizarre!

That was exactly what i was mean... The op wants to know if there's another way to activate voice assistant with gestures... What i want to say is that "Ok google" is working perfectly so there's no need to shortcut or other things.. :good:
I really don't know how but I have opened Google Assistant a few times now with gestures activated. I really want to know how. Does anyone have any idea how?
I just say "hey google...set my alarm etc"
Works fine, i think maybe people forget they can trigger it with their voice - im really enjoying gestures and dont think i could go back, enjoying more screen real estate too.
Using voice does not allow for accessing the "whats on my screen" button
After removing Google app from system, I lost the access to hotword activation. Assistant won't come up even after all settings I did. Finally ended up with Nova Launcher gestures. Two finger swipe down for assistant (installed assistant app separately for it)

Not for me for some reason. Keeps saying it doesn't recognize my voice when music is playing. Normally, Google stops music to take over the microphone and do that familiar beep, but Spotify just keeps playing and no beep comes. Don't know why.
Hey everyone, so if you have root, you can use gravitybox to map the assistant app to the fingerprint scanner. I've got mine set up this way and it's been working well.
If you use Button Mapper, instead of choosing Assistant there's an option for Now on Tap. This gives the 'what's on my screen' option when Assistant pops up
I have the EU version of the Oneplus 8t kb2003. 100% stock locked etc. I depieced yesterday to wipe the phone as there was a number of things I wanted to sort out. So wiped it and set everything back up. I normally have alexa as my default voice assistant, when I long press the home button. But this time around when I go to change it in settings to alexa, nothing happens, it just stays on Google. Even if I select none it still launches the Google assistnat.
I tried it on my samsung work phone and it switches with out any issues, none Google or Alexa. Any ideas why I am not able to change the default assistant? I can set press double tap power to launch alexa, but that is not as nice as long press home.

Nah I dislike rooting phones now. I used to be all over it, You could make your phone so much better by rooting it. I remember the nexus 6, I rooted and even built my own version of android, but cant be bothered with the hassle in my old age!

Buggy OP phone is buggy.
I tested it for you and my OP 9 Pro (US T-Mobile version) "works" the same way. Changing under Assist and Voice Input has no effect on the home button long press. Even if I change from Search Assistant to Voice Search, it always uses the Goog.
Like you, only thing setting the default search assistant seems to affect is long pressing the home button. If I change it to Alexa, then it will use Alexa for that.
Maybe it used to work and you were "grandfathered in" to that setting so it didn't affect you until you reset the phone. Add that to the list of annoying, but not deal breaking, OP bugs.

Yes it is the long press home button I am trying to change. I would like to long press home and ask alexa to do X. But I dont seem to do that. I even used the msm tool and went back to the original version 11.0 that came with the phone, but nothing at all very odd.
Not a deal breaker, but as you say it is really annoying. The 8t was supposed to come with alexa hands free built in as well, but I never got it to work.
