What is the working principle of Google Assistent?

For work GA, we need Google App Beta + assistant enabler (Xposed) + velvet.apk in system/priv-app, but velvet.apk is just old version Google App. Who can clarify this?

[Android Software Development] counterfeit187:
Now rolling out to new devices. noticed that it now says "Phone" instead of Pixel for my OnePlus One. So, all you should need is the latest Google app (I'm enrolled in the betas), and the ro.opa.eligible_device=true line on the build.prop. Also note that this build.prop addition is now an option in opengapps.
[Android Software Development] Gerard15799:
I flash the new Gapps...So how to get assistant...
[Android Software Development] counterfeit187:
I guess check the Google app settings, or maybe you have to have beta
[Android Software Development] Gerard15799:
Ohh ok
[Android Software Development] counterfeit187:
Enable like in this screen shot
[Android Software Development] Gerard15799:
I've joined the beta...But in the settings there's no option for assistant...Do I need to add the build prop line...
[Android Software Development] counterfeit187:
I swear I read that it was an option to enable in the new open G apps but I guess you might have to do it manually
[Android Software Development] Gerard15799:
So I add the build prop line and reboot my phone??
[Android Software Development] counterfeit187:
After you enroll in the Google Beta make sure that you check the Play Store for an update to the apphttps://www.xda-developers.com/open...-enable-google-assistant-during-installation/

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

Yeah that should do it
[Android Software Development] vygavedha:
Enabling assistant using gapps will work for aroma installer only I think..In the advanced option after selecting which all apps to install gapps, enable assistant is there...

No need to update build prop if this is checked while flashing gapps
[Android Software Development] Gerard15799:
Btw I'm using Asus Zenfone 2 laser running with lineage OS 14.1...Will it work...And which line should I add the true linec or the pixel XL line??
[Android Software Development] Stud12376:
You dont have to change model to pixel xl. Just add ro.opa.eligible_device=true at the end of buildprop
[Android Software Development] Gerard15799:
Ok... Will there any effects...
[Android Software Development] Gerard15799:
Yeah it worked thanks again...

GA - Non Rooted solution for Nexus 6P?

Hey All,

I have been going through all of the above posts.... Is there still no way to get the Google Assistant on my Nexus 6P without rooting my phone? I do not want to root my phone and lose all the OTA updates - the primary reason for which I went for a 6P in the first place!

I am new to this forum and If I am wrong about anything mentioned above, please do guide me! Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Stud12376:
You can use systemless root and will not loose ota updates.search for it on chrome.and you can get google assistant only by root because you have to edit your build prop.also ,i think nexus 6p won't be getting an update after 7.1.1,correct me if i am wrong
[Android Software Development] carahul.368@gmail.com:
Okay, let me search for the same. Will ping u if I'm unable to find anything thereon.

PS-6P will get updates till Sept 2017, so 7.1.2 as well as Android O will definitely make its way on the 6P.
[Android Software Development] Akhilesh S V:
Nexus 6P will be getting 7.1.2 updates it's still in support by Google

I am on nought custom rom on my note 5 can I install Google assistant? Can anyone guide me How to?
[Android Software Development] vygavedha:
Update ur Google app to the beta version.

Then edit ur build.prop,add the following lines

ro.opa.elgible_device=true

And reboot

This is the simplest method..

PS:no need to clear Google data...Also check the build.prop value I given is correct or not.
[Android Software Development] nvrmndryo:
How do I update Google to beta ver?
[Android Software Development] Gerard15799:
Through the PlayStore...
[Android Software Development] Stud12376:
Suscribe to google app beta program by searching for it on google,then you will automatically get beta updates for google app and the line to add on build prop is "ro.opa.eligible_device=true" ,its eligible not elgible

NOTE: The below is a code path, not a folder you'll find on your device.

com\google\android\apps\gsa\assistant\a\oY must return true and you won't need to change your device to Pixel / Pixel XL. Might not even need to touch build prop. Too bad Android performs a signature check of the APK. Any way around this? XPosed module is not an accepted solution :D

It's not a path - it's a place in the code of the app. I updated the reply to avoid further confusion.
[Android Software Development] brianelv:
I also tried to use a modified APK with no success, logcat throws SecurityException :silly:

What about disabling the signature check? I'll take a look on AOSP/GApps later.

EDIT: It's an stupid idea anyways. We need to keep the stock /system untouched, and seems impossible.

[Android Software Development] randymont77:
I am running lineage OS on my moto x, with nougat and have Google Assistant working great.

If you use open gapps and choose aroma(which allows you to custom pick and choose your Google apps installs) you are given the option to install Google Assistant. Gapps does all of the work. I thus avoided all of the tinkering and studying I would need to do for build prop editing. For my setup it worked flawlessly. You do need to pay attention to what you are doing and the various options to catch it. I believe you need nougat to start with, I cleared my Google Now cache, reauthorized NOW, and retrained my voice then BOOM my NOW is now the Assistant. One of Google's unexplained unpromoted yet grand gifts I suppose. I am no programmer nor developer, just a very determined noob and researcher lol, so I look for the simplest way to do things without bricking or just mussing my phone all up.

By the way, I got this info somewhere here in XDA forums but by the looks of the comments in this thread many people don't know about it. I don't have the link but you can search it out easily enough for yourself.

Also, so far I feel it is overrated, but I myself just had to have it. To be fair, I haven't used it enough to train it properly.
[Android Software Development] Stud12376:

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

It is not at all hard to get google assistant manually ,you just need a root explorer and you can get it by just adding one line to the end of build prop and reboot
[Android Software Development] Rhioun:
Well, I managed to get OK Google working on my phone. However, I am wondering if I should share this trick with the rest of you people.

If someone is in doubt of my abilities, I can upload a video of it working on my phone.

[Android Software Development] nvrmndryo:

[Android Software Development] randymont77:
Well, the manual method does look simple enough but I need the gapps anyways and preferred a custom aroma install all along. Honestly I think my route overall took longer than using pico gapps and a manual assistant install but I went with what I liked basically. A guy with a hammer sees nails while a guy with a screwdriver sees screws..., A manual script editing guy sees script, a gapps user sees aroma lol. We all get our result in the end, we hope, or we boot into recovery and begin again.
[Android Software Development] lifeuw19:
Not rooted, so how?

I'm not rooted, I simply want the Google Assistant to work. Samsung Galaxy S7, Samsung-SM-G930A, just got nougat... I've tried to edit in buildprop editor, said I wasn't rooted. Downloaded the 3 files from the sticky, but not sure how to open them. I've always had HTC, so when I tried to go into recovery like I used to on HTC, it's not the same on this samsung.

Any step by step help? This shouldn't be hard, but not used to Samsung vs HTC.

[Android Software Development] nvrmndryo:
You need to root your phone. Search how to on other threads.
[Android Software Development] Stud12376:
The first thing as you know is that you should have root, their is no alternative. Those 3 files have to be flashed in custom recovery that also needs root. Also those 3 files do the same thing that you can do manually that is making google app a system app and editing build prop which you can't do without root, so if i have to say all this in one line that will be YOU NEED ROOT.
[Android Software Development] lifeuw19:
Thanks... I read somewhere I could do it, without root. Which is what I was looking to do. With this being my first "non-HTC" phone, I wasn't sure if that was the case or not.

Appreciate the feedback. I'll look into rooting for Samsung.

Just download build. Prop editor from playstore, add the line and save. Before this, download latest beta Google app. And restart.

Google Assistant is coming to all phones with 6.0 and higher sometime this week. So the question is do we who has GA already install through this Mod will need to uninstall or do anything before the google update comes or will the update just overwrite the Mod.
[Android Software Development] Wh1t3r0s3:
Since what we did was just edit the build props to add eligibility that is verified by the Google search app, I guess the verification will be disabled in future builds. So the edits should not affect the official ga update. In either case, future ota updates should reset the build props.

[Android Software Development] Wh1t3r0s3:
What I am saying is this. Assuming you have LineageOS or some other ROM installed. You used the build prop tweak and got assistant working flawlessly. Now you update your ROM build. If it doesn't have a modified build prop out of the box, assistant will not work. LineageOS does have this problem while ressurection remix does not. How you updated search is immaterial.
[Android Software Development] MacLeod100:
W o W :) Search updated by herself from Play Store here in Sweden idk about your country. And yes i have cRDroid v2.2 based on LOS 14.1 and use the zip method . And if you look careful the zip it have the Search in beta version :o After install is normal to update automatic to latest version from Play Store ;)
[Android Software Development] shobuddy:
I never did the mod to get Google Assistant. Today I got an update for the Google app from the Play Store, however, everything looks the same to me. I'm assuming this update brought Google Assistant. My understanding is you access GA by long pressing the home button but when I do that, I get Google Now on Tap just as I used to before the update. Is there a screenshot of GA on the OP3?
[Android Software Development] boind:
I also got an update for the google app via playstore today. However nothing changed for me. I also still get google now on tap.
[Android Software Development] rclover106:
The update is coming through Google play services, not the Google app itself.
[Android Software Development] pkgnex:
I have a N6, stock, rooted, with latest Play Services, Google App, etc.. I was not getting assistant, so it must be something else Google is doing (server side switch).

However, I just added this line to build.prop:

ro.opa.eligible_device=true

... without changing my model in build.prop or doing any kind of app data clearing or anything else, and after a reboot, I now have assistant!

So, my guess is that you need to have the latest Play Services and Google App... and that the server side switch Google is throwing just makes it so you don't have to have the opa_eligible_device flag in your build.prop for it to work.

In the meantime, adding the flag - with no other changes - enables assistant. At least it did for me.
