OK Google Not Working With Nova Lanucher?

[atg284]

Hello,

I just started using the Nova Launcher instead of Touchwiz. The "ok google" functionality of the google search-bar now does not work.

I can tap the microphone and it works but I kind of liked the "ok google" abilities. Anyone know how I can get this back?

Thanks a ton for any help!

I believe only Touchwiz launcher has this supported on our phones.

On the flip side.... Nova launcher makes my s5 so much smoother small price to pay IMHO

Could just install Google Now Launcher. Much more intuitive than TW, gives you access to "OK Google" and IMO, looks better.

I use Open Mic+ with Nova Launcher. Works on every screen and you can choose your own start word. The only caveat is you have to be careful. It wants to launch when I listen to music, ect, so I have to disable it for certain apps. Also I understand Google is working on a similar app...
