Hey I just tried the app with root and it's running perfectly. Any chance of it supporting app shortcuts in the future along with full apps?
Use case example: Setting Google Keep's "New Text Note" or Todoist's "Add Task" as Assistant shortcuts.
Homebot can do this but it's severely out of date and doesn't recognize all available shortcuts. So I was looking for a Homebot replacement and your app seems to be perfect except for the app shortcuts support.
Maybe there is an app for this? Searching on google for "customize long press home button android" , I got this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abast.homebot&hl=en
Could it be what you want?
Basically, you install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abast.homebot
Then launch it, select "launch shortcut", Nova action then select "expand notification.
I removed/disabled the Google app (I only need web search, from a browser, where it belongs) and the circle actually comes back after a reboot.
By the way, this was when I had no assistant apps at all. I use HomeBot which allows you to bind any action to long-pressing home.
I have no need for a Google assistant, the old simple Voice Search is all I want to use.
I use the free Homebot app to keep a long home button press from trying to load Google Assistant. Just set up HomeBot to launch "Voice Search" on a long home button press:

I'm using HomeBot, works great
In the meantime, use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abast.homebot
Yes! There is an app called Homebot that replaces the phone assistant with an app of your choice. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abast.homebot
Until they implement it you van you this app to set seaame as assist app
If you don't mind changing the assistant function, try this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abast.homebot
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abast.homebot
It can launch shortcuts or apps
I use "Homebot" for this purpose. Supports app specific actions
