Changes: 
  • Fixed compatibility issues with Google App 6.14+
  • Module now forces English (United States) locale for Google Assistant, making it available for any locale.
  • Removed assistant enabling hooks for latest Google App versions, since it's enabled for 6.0+ devices anyway
  • Added a broadcast receiver to allow other apps (for example: Tasker) to toggle module settings (thanks to rodriguezst)
    Here's reference Tasker profile using this feature to automatically enable/disable "OK Google Everywhere" when entering/leaving home WiFi: https://github.com/rodriguezst/AssistantEnabler/files/802062/Tasker.zip

    NOTE: When enabling/disabling "Ok Google Everywhere" a broadcast intent with action ACTION.POWER.DISCONNECTED must be sent to avoid having to manually plug/unplug the device.
