>To choose Dicio as your default digital assistant on Android (replacing Google Assistant), go to Settings > Apps & notifications > Default apps > Digital assistant app > Default digital assistant app. On Android 10+, this lets you activate Dicio by swiping from the bottom left/right corner toward the center of the screen.
This is great, one of the barriers to entry before was that you needed to manually open the app. Although I don't see that this resolves the issue of the wakeword/hotword triggered with "Hey Google" ?
- 2Gkashmiri 5y agoI have a Motorola g30. It has a dedicated google assistant button. Since the ui is stock android, I was able to uninstall google assistant and all other crap. Problem is, the button is dead now without google assistant. Maybe using easer or tasker I could reuse it. Maybe tasker/easer has something for the wakeword detection? That would be great.
- commoner 5y agoThe "Hey Google" detection in the Google app has a hard Play Services dependency. Unfortunately, I don't think a replacement for the wake word is possible without some kind of system-level implementation. microG might be able to implement this, but I don't think the project has enough resources to make it a priority.
- robmsmt 5y agoThanks, this was my thinking. I took a look at microG and couldn't see any reference to it on the status page: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status The options to make a true opensource assistant that would work in the same capacity as Alexa/Siri/Google (invoked via wakeword) is therefore quite limited. An alternative is to have it listening constantly, maybe as a background service, but this would use up too much battery I suspect.
