So neither method works for me? I flashed the 2 zips and had the tweak prop in the same folder, no errors while flashing. Phone booted, cleared data and it takes me right back to Google Now. In "About Phone" it says the device is Pixel so I know the build.prop is there but somethings not right. Running the latest October patch on a stock RO rooted with TWRP.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] bechard:
On a STOCK (no root, no TWRP), is there a way to flash these zips via ADB or fastboot?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ohlin5:
I did, works great here (so far on latest update, manual copy of build.prop not the flashable zip). PN Gapps. Make sure you clear Google App data after rebooting after you copy the build.prop and edit permissions.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] juggz143:
I have it working on WETA by changing device to Pixel XL and adding the eligible device line. I couldn't get it to work changing device to just "Pixel".

Funny side effect tho
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] rchtk:
Thanks but cleared app data at least 3 times. And perms are OK. Ain't working here...
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Citizen_Snips:
Did it change your XDA signature too? :laugh:

That's odd though. Just "Pixel" works for me. No need for the "XL"

Side note: So I can't text using assistant with Hangouts. Hangouts is set as default and when I say OK Google, text John Doe hello. It comes back with do you want to send this message or change it first (something along those lines) and I'll say send and then it says OK...message not sent. There's an option to open Messaging app and it takes me to Hangouts. Haven't tried on stock SMS app, I just don't use it. Hangouts is better, I think. I can get texts from any of my devices on any of my devices... We can't use Assistant to send messages through Allo either. (No set as default option). Can't use Assistant to text via Allo, but we'll put Assistant inside of Allo so you can say OK Google text this person instead of just hitting the new message button??? What exactly was the point of that app, again, Google?

Yo Dawg, we heard you like Messaging...
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] steslatt:
Can't get this to work at all.

What I have done so far:

unlocked bootloader

flashed twrp from bootloader

booted into twrp

installed the zip

rebooted, wiped google app data

no assistant

It feels like twrp isn't working because it goes back to the normal recovery after a reboot.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] david279:
I think Google may be doing some server side switching. After having this working all night it just reverted to google now on tap.

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Khilbron:
I originally posted this to the Android Development thread, but figured it should be here, as my issue is directly related to the Nexus 6p.

I'm struggling with this a bit it seems.

1. Flashed Velvet.zip

2. Flashed Googleassistant.zip

3. Rebooted

4. Wiped Google App Data

5. Setup Ok Google Detection

6. Device still displays Google Now, with Now on Tap, and Cards.

I've done the above three times now, with one of the attempts including a Dalvik/Cache wipe. If I truly have to wipe my phone I will, but I have so many authenticators that are a hassle to setup, I would like to get this going without a data wipe.

Google App version is 6.5.35.21.arm64

Build.prop contains the following lines:

ro.product.model=Pixel

ro.product.brand=google

ro.product.name=angler

ro.product.device=angler

ro.product.board=angler

ro.opa.eligible_device=true

I am on Stock NBD90X (Unlocked Bootloader), my NBD90X was installed when Google released the OTA's, I flashed the OTA, I did not wait for it to be pushed to my device.

I just did a 4th attempt, with a different build.prop using Pixel XL instead of Pixel. Same results as above.

Did you use method one or method two? Last night after using method one mine would revert, but after using method two and leaving it assistant seemed to stay.

Try wiping your Google app data
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] totoantonio:
Finally got it to work. Key is to change Nexus 6P to Pixel XL
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Ghstudent:
I'm glad this is working and all, but we should really use the hell out of it while we can. I feel like Google is already working on a patch for this.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] chaiguy:
I'm guessing without Root this is not possible?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] arunkr:
Working on pn 7.0...flashed the zip from OP..dint change anything else
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ChongoDroid:
I was having no luck either and I flashed the two zips, rebooted, wiped app data for Google search, then I rebooted into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik and data and flashed the latest supersu (since it gets wiped out from wiping data) and I've got it now and it's actually working.

Just rebooted to see if it sticks and it's still there!

Edit: Also it seems that saying OK Google will bring up assistant now. This is awesome!

All the pixel fun without having to sacrifice our blessed front facing speakers :D
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] rchtk:
Neither pixel nor pixel XL is showing me Assistant. No big deal though..

Funny is that google tap now sometimes shows connection expired or no connection. Guys please stop pressing the damn button so quickly, you're killing the servers :)
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] dratsablive:
Working for me. Had to change model to Pixel XL.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] silvertrain78:
Have you tried activating Assistant by long pressing Home?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Ghstudent:
This also breaks Android wear watches.. shame.

EDIT: turns out the Android wear app was just freaking out. Ignore.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Khilbron:
I have tried long pressing home, and using Ok Google. I only get Google Now.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] dshoe:
How so? I've been getting notifications on mine, but I haven't tried any voice commands.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Ghstudent:
It won't even launch Android wear on my phone..

EDIT: got it working
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ashwinpilgaonkar:
Will this work on other phones running AOSP/CM?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] jeebuspwnz:
I think google is already disabling this. Mine was working last night, today it's back to Google Now. I tried all the methods and it keeps going back to google now.

After wiping data and rebooting I can get it to "setup" the assistant, but it reverts to Google Now almost instantly.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Yasharkhan:
Change product model to pixel in build.prop
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] jeebuspwnz:
yeah, tried that. It got assistant working for like 3 seconds. Then it reverted.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ModelCitizen:
I mistakenly forgot to make a backup of my build.prop. I'm on the latest Pure Nexus, can someone upload a copy of theirs?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] dratsablive:
I needed to change model to Pixel XL
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] nydmt:
I edited my build.prop manually on my Nexus 5x,

changed my ro.product.model=Pixel XL

and

added the line ro.opa.eligible_device=true underneath it

Cleared the app data of the Google app

Rebooted and everything seems to be working fine :D
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] gilad215:
did all you did, on my 6p and it doesnt work, rebooted into google now :(

EDIT: for some reason i have a mic icon now near the G pill, and when i set up google voice it said set up "Assitant", still no assistant though
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] a1exus:
Do I need to have root for that?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ohlin5:
Here ya go - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzZIzjEGJqh9blNsNnJwazRTaWc/view?usp=sharing
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] jeebuspwnz:
Yeah, did all that too. As I said, all was working perfectly last night. I suspect google is currently in the process of blocking devices from this.

edit: FWIW, randomly working again.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mestguy182:
Does saying "OK Google" work for you when the screen is locked?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Milly7:
Doesn't work for me.

Edit: working now. Go into your smart lock settings. Sometimes it seems like smart lock won't kick in unless you open it and enter your password.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] hutzdani:
Pure nexus 7.0

Adding those lines and flashing the provided.zip enables the mic icon in the Pixel launcher and kills google now voice search from working and disables the slide to see google now cards
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mestguy182:
Hmm, still no change for me when I try. I did see over on the PureNexus page lots of post saying OK Google doesn't work with any Nougat AOSP ROMs at the moment. Even when I go back to stock build.prop and revert back to the 6.5.35.21 version of the Google app, I still can't OK Google to work.

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

Nice, I'm using Nova Launcher, so I never saw the change, but that explains why OK Google isn't working.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Khilbron:
After a lot of fiddling I got it working. I had to boot into TWRP, and manually push the modified build.prop into /system. After that it's working no problem.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] dratsablive:
The OK Google is working for me on lock screen.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] explorer-10:
But, let's say when a system patch update arrives and you update manually, wouldn't you have to reflash this mod again each time that happens? Seems like an annoyance to me.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] dipsup:
Which one do i do?

should i flash the zips? and what to do with tweak.prop file?

or should i simply add 2 lines to build.prop file?

or should i download this build.prop file and replace it?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mestguy182:
Are you on PureNexus?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] :
Google said this was exclusive on Pixel but now that Google Now recognizes 6P as a Pixel, will the unlimited storage for Google Photos take effect too? :confused:
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] kamesh_kraken:
I can confirm that it's working on falcon running CM14. Pretty much every person running Android 7.0 can get this feature. But some people face problem with Google Camera crashing and some not.

This is not Nexus 6P exclusive tho :)
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AXelzero1:
Fastboot flash the system partition. There's many tutorials online for it, silence I don't remember the exact commands.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] rayraycarter4:
Update - it stopped working for me just now? It switched back to now on tap
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] kamesh_kraken:

I have working google assistant but I have to press home button for it, ok google doesn't work anywhere
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] crackmulah:
Not working for me via flashable zips or manual method...have wiped Google App data multiple times. Do I have to do the type of wipe that erases the homescreen set up?

When flashing I saw an error referncing that the velvet apk is meant for arm and not arm64 as our Nexus 6P is. Is that my issue? Im assuming not since others are having success. Even for an experienced modder this is giving me troubles. Maybe Im just missing something (an off day)...anyone help?

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] brianelv:
Everything should work flashing NBD90X and modifying the build.prop. If the problem persists try the old method of the old patch.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] The.Yield:

[MENTION=3939448]crackmulah[/MENTION]

I had the same problem.. The key is to download all 3 files and put them in the SAME folder and then flash.. All working great for me now!
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] The.Yield:
All three files are located in my download folder together. Didn't save me lol
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] crackmulah:
I tried both :(

By "After replacing the build.prop wipe your data" you mean the Google App data right? What type of data wipe from the Google App > Storage > Manage Space screen do you mean? I have options for:

Clear Google Search Data

Clear Launcher Data

Clear All Data

Trying to avoid wiping my homescreen...:)

Also, I have v 6.6.14.21.arm64 version installed after flashing the zips...hmm
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] brianelv:
I did a full wipe but you can try cleaning the data of the Google app.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] crackmulah:
Did that... :(
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] twistanesh:
Worked perfectly Nexus 6P NBD90X rooted with EX Kernel.

I used ROMToolbox to edit and add to the buildprop

Edit

ro.product.model change Nexus 6p in property value to : Pixel XL

Add

ro.opa.eligible_device and in the property value : true

LOL make sure to spell "eligible" correctly:p

Restart the phone

Hit Settings > Apps > Google App > Storage > Manage Space > Clear All Data
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Nekromantik:
yeah im on 6p too. on uberstock.

But my issue is worse. After flashing the zips phone dont get past Google logo had to wipe system and flash rom again.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] crackmulah:
can you explain exactly what you mean by a 'a full wipe' in this instance? generally, a full wipe would completely undo the biuild prop and APK changes that were just made...so theres some confusion here.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] guitar1238751:
Hmmm I've repeatedly tried editing and then just replacing the entire build prop. After editing, wiping app data/cache of the Google app (even tried rebooting), I see the "Meet Your Assistant" screen for a split second, then it instantly changes to "Teach your assistant to recognize your voice" screen. Then after setting up my voice it changes to the enable Now on Tap screen and then goes on to start up Now on Tap. I can't seem to get Assistant itself to stay, it starts up and then disappears. What am I doing wrong? is there a step I'm missing? I'm on a Nexus 6P, 7.0 Pure Nexus Rom, rooted, Elementalx Kernel. Thanks.

EDIT: It works for me now!! I'm not sure what exactly I did, just redid a bunch of steps over and over again with some reboots and it started to work.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] crackmulah:
What Google App version are you on? To confrim, you reboot after doing buildprop change, and then cleared data after the reboot? Did you need to reboot again to get asstant to come up, or did it then just come up when you held home button?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] MaddScientist:
This awesome..thanks guys its working perfectly. just hope Google dont patch it
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] BossJ:
Has this been answered? OK GOOGLE hotword is not working for me, and will not let me turn it on via settings.

Everything else works perfectly. I used the Flashing method.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] brianelv:
I wanted to say wipe data, sorry. My mistake.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] brianelv:
What ROM are you using?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] twistanesh:
According to the play store I'm on version 6.6.14.21.arm64 of the Google App (it's just the latest available from the Playstore)

Yes I cleared the data after the reboot, and

did not

need to restart again. Just pressed and held the home button and it worked.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] sjandroiddeveloper:
For most people its not working
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] crackmulah:
Did you enter Pixel or Pixel XL into your buildprop through the buildprop editor from rom toolbox? I get an error when trying Pixel XL, maybe b/c of the spacE?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] BossJ:
Octo (X version)
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] crackmulah:
can you please explain your exact steps for wiping data? it's still unclear what data you're wiping.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] twistanesh:
Make sure you enter it in the Property value spot, Pixel XL with a space worked for me.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Bucika:
I've made a special folder and the flash went fine.. hmm, maybe try like I did. First I've flashed one zip and then the second one.. I mean flash one reboot go back flash the second.. I hope that will work for you guys!

I am on PN ROM if that matters..

Hey is anyone's snapchat messing up with this? I tried logging in and it said 'login temporarily failed' which usually comes up when you have xposed installed. Would it be because of changing the phone identity to pixel?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] rchtk:
Set locales to English for it to work.

This should be added to the OP that only with primary language english or german you can have Assistant show up.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] manup456:
So everyone knows Google voice anywhere, face to unlock and voice to unlock don't work on any custom rom either aosp or built off factory images. That has nothing to do with this mod.

OP: I would add this to your first post or people will continue to talk about it and jam your thread up.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ChriKn:
Voice to unlock works great on my 6P with Pure Nexus (have not tried this mod yet)....

(We are speaking about "OK Google with Screen of, right ?)
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] manup456:
Yes it won't unlock the option won't even stay on and face unlock does not work it's been an issue and when I was on Pure Nexus voice to unlock in smart lock didn't work just like saosp, stock image based roms and any other I tried so far.

They all work with stock rooted just my experience and tons of others with complaints in almost every thread. I don't know what the root of the issue is but it's sure is an issue.

Can people on custom roms let me know if all these options work.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Citizen_Snips:
FWIW, WETA ROM isn't source built, just modified images. I'm still on Assistant since my last post about it, so all good. OK Google works with screen off (assuming you've set up the option in Smart Lock settings).

It's really cool. Screen is off and I'll say, "OK Google, play Johnny Cash on Spotify." OK! Boom. Spotify opens and Johnny Cash is immediately playing. Grab the phone, go to Spotify and hit devices available (linked it with my PS4). Play on this device. "OK Google, turn volume all the way up." Boom, done. "OK Google, set volume to 50%." This is actually really cool.

Since we were sharing them earlier, here's my poking around with Assistant and AI. That pause and the way she said yet. :eek:
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] jUsT2eXy:
I wonder if PureNexus will ever have this baked in? I may have to wait until that or there are some clear, newbie friendly instructions to install this to a PureNexus (7.0) ROM.

Looks awesome though!
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Nekromantik:
Yeah this also breaks snapchat for me.

keeps FCing.

Also we have to choose between Assistant and Android Pay. Both cant work.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] manup456:
Android pay and this both work just fine can't speak on Snapchat don't use it.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] AXelzero1:
Snapchat works fine with mine. I have suhide though so that might change it.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Nekromantik:
Im using suhide also.

I thought build.prop tweaks break android pay?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Citizen_Snips:
I can use AP just fine and I have Assistant. WETA ROM 9.2.

I just used the deer face filter which changes your voice. It worked just fine and I could hear myself with the changed voice when it plays back before sending it. WETA ROM 9.2.

Same. WETA ROM 9.2. Snapchat logs in fine and works fine.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Nekromantik:
Did you use the zip or changed build.prop yourself?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Citizen_Snips:
Made edits myself using Solid Explorer. Saved build.prop. Opened Google App Settings and wiped data from it. Rebooted. Assistant. I used the eligible device line and changed product model to Pixel. I did not use Pixel XL. I've now been with Assistant for around 6-8 hours. Multiple reboots, hasn't gone away yet.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mestguy182:
Are you on Pure Nexus Nougat, the one that was just released yesterday? If you are and Ok Google is working for you even with your device locked, you are the only person I know of who has that working.

If the above is true, which Gapps did you use?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Nekromantik:
Next time I do a wipe Il try editing it myself instead of using the zip.

As pre-assistant I had AP working.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ChriKn:
I didn't try it on the new Nougat, just tried Abs it isn't working (Open Gapps Mini).... mildly pissed right now... ^^
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Citizen_Snips:
Download the SafetyNet Checker app on the play store and run it. I'm guessing you fail? This would be caused by some other mod you installed. Or if you're rooted without suhide. Are you on a ROM that includes SuperSU, but not suhide? WETA includes both. Did you flash root to modify the build.prop while system is booted? You'd need to hide it. This build.prop mod does not trip SafetyNet by itself.

Edit: nevermind you flashed the zip, duh. Still though, if you have root but it isn't hidden, that'll explain it. Or some other mods as well. What root are you using Chainfire or phh? Are you hiding it?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Nekromantik:
No other mods.

Im using systemless SuperSU and SUHide.

AP was working before I flashed the zip for assistant.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Citizen_Snips:
Do me a favor and download the latest suhide 0.55 from Chainfires thread. Flash it followed by SuperSU 2.78 SR1. If you still fail SafetyNet after that, I'd restore your system.img and start again with modifying the build.prop manually.

Are you on stock or custom ROM?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Nekromantik:
Uberstock

I dont have time to do that at the mo just about to go bed.

Thanks for the help. Will try that tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Citizen_Snips:
Good luck! Hopefully you get it working. If you need any help tomorrow just quote or mention me I'll try to help you get it all working.

Bonus, here's another one. Couldn't help but share. Too funny.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] manup456:
Yeah it's been an issue with custom roms and beans said it has to be gapps but factory image roms have this issue and don't use gapps.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] stanleyopar2000:
