[Xposed] OK, Google Now -> Broadcast intent

I've made a small module that broadcasts an intent when the "OK, Google now" trigger phrase is recognised. The intention is to listen for the intent with an app such as Tasker and do your own voice interface from there. This module stops all native Touchless Control functions, so you have to handle any commands you want on your own. The screen does not turn on if it was off and internet connectivity is not required.
There are two beeps I haven't been able to track down yet, though one can be disabled via the Touchless Controls settings.

I'm not well versed in tasker, could you help me make a tasker action to here the ok Google now phrase then open the app utter and start listening

First, you need a profile. It'll need an event for Intent Received, with com.hawkjm.okgooglenowtriggerintent.AUDIO_TRIGGER in the Action field.
Next, you'll need a task to command utter. I'm using autovoice, so I'm not terribly up to date on utter. They've got instructions and examples in this thread:

Hello, I've been using the "Google Now API" module for xposed framework with the tasker autovoice plugin. How is this module different exactly? The way I described, touchless controls is left intact and functions exactly how it would otherwise, but a command is given through autovoice to tasker, and Google now opens and does a search on whatever command you entered. What is different with your module?
Thanks in advance...

This module basically hijacks the touchless controls trigger so you can do your own voice interface. My use case is :
-say "Ok, Google now"
-Tasker launches AutoVoice recognition
-I say something like "Start my car"
-Tasker handles the request and starts the car
My goal was to allow this to happen completely in the background, and with the screen off. This doesn't disturb anything else I might be doing on the phone, nor does it activate the screen. Also, it uses onboard recognition is available, and so is a bit faster then having Google Now do the recognition.

I've tried something very simple and it won't work please correct this if I'm wrong.
1. Open tasker
2 create profile /system/intent received
3. Typed com.hawkjm.okgooglenowtriggerintent.AUDIO_TRIGGER into the action field.
4. Hit back
5. Enter task menu pops up, and I click new task.
6. I give the task a name, then I click + to add action. I select App/ load app/ calculator.
7. I go back to main menu and make sure profile is active.
8. I go to home screen and say "ok Google now" I hear a beep. No action happens.
Does any one see anything wrong

Lately, I've been needing to add steps to get Tasker to act as expected. Once you've completed your profile and task, completely exit Tasker, making sure to hit "save first." Then, if needed, deactivate and reactivate Tasker's monitor by long-pressing the little gear in the left corner. I usually run a little task that pops a toast then to make sure it is active. In most cases, just the full exit and save is sufficient.
If that doesn't work, check in Tasker's log to see if it is seeing the intent. If no, check your logcat for the intent being broadcast.

I fixed it, I had to install secure settings app to wake screen then launch the app I wanted, utter had so Manu more commands

Is "Secure Settings" required for this to happen? Does Tasker need to be made an Administrator?
**Edit**
Looks like SS is required

This post should be way more populated, the possibilities of this plus tasker are endless

Is this module designed for KK or is it compatible with JB. I can't seem to get any logs in the tasked app. Will check logcat.

You should also check out with caioketo is doing in his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2623063, seems pretty similar to this and they are still trying to retain Google Now functionality if you want.

I'm going to try this out as soon as I get to my aunts phone. She got the x because moto advertised it for seeing impaired. I ended up having to use tasker and autovoice to make it speak back to her but it uses so much battery. Thanks for doing this! I will be back with my results.

Just installed this, brilliant!
Commands that needed autovoice are executed immediately, if I needed Google now I just have an autovoice tasker triggered command for running the voice search app (too bad it seems we can't easily transfer a command from autovoice to gnow, but I now have instant autovoice, and one more step for Google now voice search, » ok Google now, search, "speak command")

I wrote for and tested on a kitkat device. Unfortunately, I don't have a moto JB on hand to check it on.
Check the Xposed logs for errors if you don't see anything in the logcat or Tasker logs. Let me know if you find anything.

I looked in to dumping audio to Google Now as Touchless Controls does, but it needs stringent app permissions. It might be doable from inside TC, but I'm not sure if you can record audio at the same time you're doing voice recognition. If not, you'd just end up wasting time. (saying stuff twice) I'm likely to try and elaborate on this module over time.

Your apk is an old version, try updating it with the latest version, or, it could be 2 versions (one KK and other JB).

From that error, I suspect there are two different versions of Touchless Controls, one for KK, and one for JB. Their classes have changed tether dramatically as they update. Can you send me your TC apk? I'll see if there are matching classes.

I will upload it later today when I an home. In the mean time, the apk in TitaniumBackup is named Touchless Control 3.15.0.1

Need urgent help with camera permission

Hi I am trying to get the camera app open with the automate app but I am having this error

Hi, since that the automate app you're talking about is a third party app, what i can say by reading in the log "com.huawei.camera.permission.PRIVATE" is that the camera app won't work easily with apps not made (or signed) by Huawei. Dunno if there could be a workaround for this, honestly... I have troubles trying to launch torch app UI from third party launchers due an analog issue and at the moment, i haven't found nothing to do yet.

How does App whitelisting work?

Hello All,
I have been attempting to modify a particular Google app from the play store. If I decompile it and recompile it with a completely new package name (i.e. com.google.android.apps => com.mypackage) I still get the following error:
Code:
10-01 23:35:54.918: E/Bugle(5537): java.lang.SecurityException: GoogleCertificatesRslt: not whitelisted:................
So that leads me to believe the app itself is looking for it's entry in the whitelist. However, since I have renamed the package completely, I am not sure what the mechanism is. How does whitelisting work, and what can I do so that I can run two versions of a Google App on the same phone (my custom one with a new package name).
I have tried to set a breakpoint at everything in the smali code related to X509, and I don't hit any of those breakpoints before the SecurityException. Any clues on how to work backwards - or have any of you succesfully been able to reverse engineer a google app, and get it running on a non-rooted phone?
THanks

MIUI Gallery/Notes app don't work anymore

Hey guys,
I've done a bit of an oops when I removed some of the bloatware via adb on my F2 Pro and now the native Gallery and Notes apps don't seem to work. I'm getting random pop up notifications of Notes/Gallery not working and some apps don't work properly without the functionality.
I've tried to see if I can reinstall them but no success yet

For some reason, I am unable to change the default Gallery option so a new Gallery app doesn't help
It won't let me set Gallery default to anything

This happened to me in the past when I removed the Xiaomi Service Framework including the Xiaomi Cloud.

Same Problem. Please Help Xiaomi Cloud + Framework Reinstalled still Gallery app doesn't open

[Help] NullPointerExeption on every app with widgets.

Any app that has some kind of Widget to register, crashes with NullPointerExeption, and has a reference to:
AppWidgetHost | Android Developers
developer.android.com
This includes ANY launcher, even the system default, so I can only run apps from ADB.
I made a logcat of every NullPointerException at the time.
I have no idea how to even begin trying to fix this, short of a firmware flash and starting over.
But that's such a hassle to restore secure apps, and apps that don't sync data anywhere, so you just lose it.
Anybody have a clue why this is happening?
