Trigger Circle to Search on any Android 9–15 device

This app only aims to trigger Circle to Search and cannot handle issues that may occur after triggering successfully

How to Use

1. Install the latest version of Google, enable auto-start, disable background restrictions, and set Google as the default assistant app

2. Install and launch MiCTS

   • If you're lucky, Circle to Search will be triggered directly without root when launching MiCTS
   • If nothing happened, most likely it's because Google disabled Circle to Search for your device (you can confirm by checking the message Omni invocation failed: not enabled in Logcat). Try the following with root:
     • Activate the module in LSPosed, enable Device spoof for Google in the MiCTS settings, and force restart Google
     • If it still doesn't work, then change com.google.android.apps.search.omnient.device flag 45631784 to true using GMS-Flags

3. Set up the trigger method

   • Launching MiCTS will trigger, so you can use other apps like Quick Ball, Xposed Edge, ShortX, etc., set launching MiCTS as the action to customize the trigger method
   • MiCTS provides a trigger tile, so you can add it to the Quick Settings panel and trigger by clicking it
   • For Xiaomi devices, MiCTS has built-in support for Trigger by long press gesture handle and Trigger by long press home button, which can be enabled in the MiCTS settings (need to activate the module and restart the phone after installing MiCTS)

FAQ

Prompt "Trigger failed!"

Most likely because Google is not set as the default assistant, check it

Google assistant appears instead of Circle to Search

Ensure that Google is the latest version

Sometimes it doesn't trigger successfully, and the interface appears only after opening Google

This is likely due to the tombstone mechanism. Check if your device has related settings and add Google to the whitelist, such as selecting "No restrictions" in battery saver

This issue should not occur when the System trigger service is set to CSHelper in the Module Settings
