So the odd requirement of being locked into using s-voice for the OK Google Voice Search thing was annoying me. I found that if you go into system/priv-app and remove the "Velvet for T" apk and replace it with the normal "Velvet" apk (I pulled the one I used out of one of PA's gapps packages) and fix permissions to r-w-r-r, and reboot you can use ok Google without having to rely on svoice.
When I tried simply freezing svoice, the option to use ok Google from any screen was grayed out, but when you follow my steps above you'll be good. Hope that made sense.

Change language is the trick. Worked flawless! Thank you.
Anyway to do this with some Xiaomi apps, like Music, Videos, etc? I'm thinking to root to disable them, and to install a 3rd part locator on system partition, because "Locate My Device" don't activate my SIM card.

I'm going to try this option; the other option in the first post requires you log in your ggogle account and I do not have one - this requirement should be added to 1st post.
[EDIT] Disable is still greyed-out... (root required?)

That's what it says for me as well, in my poco f1 though. Have you figured something out?
Hi guys,
I'm getting a problem related to the chinese variant. And it's really irritating, i hope you can help as this is really popular and discussed a lot.
-Google assistant won't stay the default assist app.
-Access with voice match is greyed out.
-when i make google the default assist app, google is greyed out as seen in the third screenshot.
-weirdly enough i don't have default assist app anywhere in settings, I can only access it from google (first screeshot)
I already have disabled breeno stuff and some chinese stuff except breeno space.
I tried some solutions online from deleting cache to re-installing google, but the issue is rom related.
What i haven't tried is unlocking bootloader and rooting then making the assistant a system app. So what I'm trying to say is did anyone have it working like a charm, and how??
Unfortunately that's what the rom does. The only way I had made it to work is using tasker..
My first approach was for event when the secure config was changed tasker will change it back to Google. But this doesn't seem to work all the time.
My second approach was to create a shortcut that set the assistant and then launches the app. See screenshot.

Man this is irritating, using tasker for an assistant ?? this reminds me of an old tcl tv I have running android 4.4 and no matter what I do i can't get apps to function correctly on there
I tried making it a system app. Didnt work. still greyed out. I used android terminal App systemizer
It moved the whole folder to system/apps. I also tried system/priv-apps. But its weird that i can still uninstall google from the app drawer.

This is absolute bs, i thought root will make it work but now i don't even know why the cn rom is behaving like this.
I really hope someone got it working
I installed Google Maps Beta app before. Then today, I wanted the original app back so I opened the play store. I searched forGoogle Maps, tapped on "uninstall" and then it uninstalled after some time. When I tried to install it from play store, it then showed an error message saying: "You cannot install this app because another user has already installed an incompatible version on this device." But I've already uninstalled the first app, cleared app preferences and deleted all folders relating to Google Maps. Maybe the app didn't uninstall completely? Please help me, I don't wanna have to reset my phone to have to use Google Maps again.
im using https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-a13-official-octavios.4554983/ on a xiaomi tucana, installed the vanilla version with the gapps they recommended (mind the g apps).
ive been trying to disable this app icon for the last 2 days its really annoying to have as i fill my whole app drawer, when i try to disable it, it shows the google app. same with hiding the app, if i hide this it also hides the google app
