Google Assistant launcher forced stopped

It's work me long time, but today I updated Google play service APK 11.9.45 Google assistant doesn't work . Got error from Google ie. (Unfortunately google has stopped) . I have updated lollipop handset.:confused::confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
You can still use Google Assistant if you can manually install Google App v7.8

If you're rooted, you can run some simple commands from the terminal to get Assistant up and working.

Well, I'm on the same Play Services version, and it works for me. Maybe try enabling Assistant again.
[Android Apps and Games] mystico99:
will you be updating the app soon it works great
[Android Apps and Games] tuxzz:
it works on my samsung a9 pro

but google assistant is stupid XD
[Android Apps and Games] frdutour07:
Hello. on my S7, there is now Google Assistant accessible by Ok Google. By cons no application or shortcut on home screen! Is it then worth installing this application? Thank you.

Google Assistant launcher forced stopped

After updated Google app 7.15.21.21 , assistant launcher works forced stopped, please help
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
You can better use an app called Google Assistant, available on the Play Store. It launches the Assistant through launcher icon, and is developed by Google.

Try clearing data of Google App and Play Services.
[Android Apps and Games] SnoopDoge:
latest google beta update (7.16.15.21) or either play services, messed up the app... no longer working, on 5.0+, it just launches the regular voice search, it was a good run, no option to run it anymore
[Android Apps and Games] abhi783821:
Grand prime have only one gb of ram but how you tested and used it?
[Android Apps and Games] yeduardomm_:
Hi, I have time in the group but I have not registered until now that I use it more often.

happens that I install the app, and it opens and closes alone, it does not let me do anything (I have google beta just in case) language in English and I do not use micro gapps, will that be it?
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Don't quote the whole OP!

That post is almost 6 months old. Google Assistant used to work fine on devices not meeting the requirements.

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

You tried clearing data of either?
[Android Apps and Games] SnoopDoge:
looks, none of these will help, i tried further than that, google just outsmarted us and socked us with a cheap shot on the jaw, somewhere in the google play services or google app there's a kill switch for the assistant on 5.0+ devices using this app, but at least i still have my 7.0 device, it was just nice seeing my old phone capable of the assistant and being actually registered as a an assistant enabled device, but also the weird thing, "ok google" phrase doesn't work for me anymore, tried retraining the app but no avail
[Android Apps and Games] SnoopDoge:
No, I'm wasting your time... Are you a bot with specific answers? Of course my secondary phone doesn't meet the bare minimum (Android 5.0 for starters) hence why I been using the app since May and just about last week it got disabled and not working
[Android Apps and Games] apratul Vasu:
But how am i able to use Google assistant on my 1gb ram phone with latest Google app

---------- Post added at 07:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 AM ----------

Oh ****,it stopped working on latest Google app.....****!
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
I'm not talking about Android Version. There are some more requirements. More than 1.5GB Ram, and 720p or higher screen resolution.

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

Well, looks like that black magic stopped working :p
[Android Apps and Games] SnoopDoge:
what? i told you i don't have the bare minimum,which is 6.0, i just have 5.1 running, so simply, even if i dont have 6.0+ BUT i have 3GB ram and 1440p it wont work just because of i dont have at least 6.0, and in case you dont know the specs of the 1st gen moto g, it has 1 GB ram and 720p, now before you say it's not compatible, then explain how i was running the assistant on it since May up and until last week when google found out about our little app and decided to disable it with either google play services or google app update
[Android Apps and Games] apratul Vasu:
Yeah, good bye Google assistant
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Oh no! It's gone for me too! Help!

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

It was running before Google decided we shouldn't.
[Android Apps and Games] SnoopDoge:
lmao... yea that's what i'm trying to say since last week but you kept asking if i'm meeting the requirements, i'm asking the OP if he can find a workaround solution
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
And if you look closely , this app is based on my method.

Update: I enabled Assistant again on my Tablet, that DOES meet the requirements, instead of Android Version.
[Android Apps and Games] SnoopDoge:
based on your method? what? look.. it seems like we're not talking on the same frequency here, now lemme make it more clear, the assistant needs at least Android 6.0, 1.5GB ram and 720p, now let's assume you got a phone with 4GB ram and 1440p but you dont have 6.0, then you wont get assistant at all, you have to use this, now what i said and keep saying, my old phone is 5.1, 1gb ram and 720p and i RAN the assistant on this phone since May but now it's not working, so i'm asking OP or anyone if they found another workaround to make it work again
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
If you're rooted, I can try to help.
[Android Apps and Games] SnoopDoge:
not rooted, if you're referring to the "get assistant" app, the way i used to enable it, was by creating/ adding a reminder, but now since the "YOUR STUFF" disappeared from the app, the assistant disappeared with it as well
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
When did I mention about that app? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] geckoas:
It's also no more working on my Galaxy S5 mini, which meets all the requirements. Android 6.01, Google App > 6.13, 1,5 GB Ram, 720p, even with Google App 7.3.xx

Is there a possibility to downgrade the Google Play Services. e.g. to 11.3.2 from July 2017?

Tried to uninstall updates in App manager, but got the message that it can't be downgraded to factory version because it is an active system administrator.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
To get Assistant working again on mine, I changed the accounts from GAL, and then it displayed Assistant isn't available on this device. I closed it, and opened GAL again, and, with some black magic, Assistant started working again.
[Android Apps and Games] SnoopDoge:
you're correct, you didn't, but i assumed since it's a legitimate app that enables it and need rooting, although it also requires 6.0+, yea forget about it
[Android Apps and Games] geckoas:
Tried this several times also, with no luck.

Do you have an answer to my question how to downgrade Google Play Services?
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Can't you downgrade manually installing an old version?
[Android Apps and Games] geckoas:
Hello

Finally got it managed to downgrade Goggle Play services.

1.) The problem was "Find my device - 11.9.47" = Goggle Play service enabled as device administrator. After disabling it, it allowed downgrading to factory version.

2.) GPS 11.3.02 didn't work and asked for update.

3.) With GPS 11.5.09 assistant could be activated with GAP 7.3.25 by changing google accounts and training "OK Google" detection.

But assitant only starts by changing google accounts and not with home button.

4.) After a while GPS updated to latest version 7.9.47 for itself.

Assistant still can be started only by changing Google accounts and not with home button.

Does anyone know a methode to get it on the home button?
[Android Apps and Games] rayboehm:
Try Button Mapper. I've been using it on my Samsung tablet all along.
[Android Apps and Games] apratul Vasu:
Really?it stopped working for you too?
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
I've already enabled it again:cool:

Can this be installed on an unrooted Chinese OPPO R7 Plusm running Color OS 3.0 and 5.1.1.?
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Yep.
[Android Apps and Games] geckoas:
I still have the problem that I can activate the assistant only by changing the accounts in assistant launcher.

The assist activity of GAL or long pressing home button doesn't start the assistant, but only Google voice search.

Actual: GAP 7.8.22, actual Goggle play services (it's not possible to have an older version oj GPS because it updates for itself to the latest version.)

Does anyone know how I can launch the assistant without changing accounts?

Does anyone have experience with the assistant working with lineage OS on Galaxy S5 mini G800F?
[Android Apps and Games] MyDePain:
I have reactivated it several times before it works again
[Android Apps and Games] geckoas:
What did you do to reactivate it?
[Android Apps and Games] MyDePain:
I changed of account several times until Google Assistant fired (it told me that my device isn't compatible). I think one of the latest updates is causing this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
That's just what it said to me. But, going to home and returning to GAL enabled it:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] asadhaidar:
Doesn't work in mi 5x
[Android Apps and Games] geckoas:
It's working again on my Galaxy S5 mini, 3 days after installation of GAP 7.1.21 .

During this time I often tried to reactivate it again by switching accounts, but assistant didn't start with home button. On 3rd day morning I switched language back to German and it still didn't start with home button. On 3rd day evening, suddenly I found the assistant symbol on the explore screen and assistant started by long pressing home button again. Very weird.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Any more details?

Google just extended the assistant availability to 5.0 devices
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Thanks for informing.

Maybe it's because a large number of LL devices are already using Google Assistant unofficially.

Update: And It won't come to my Tablet with LL:eek:
[Android Apps and Games] SnoopDoge:
No it's not because many people using it unofficially, it's because the users for lollipop are so huge, and Google wants the assistant to reach to larger audience, if you notice, this announcement came just after a day of announcing the Android distribution numbers, and why your tablet won't run it? They didn't specify any requirements for the assistant
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
If you look closely, Assistant is coming to Tablets with Android N and MM, and Mobiles with LL too.

Pls, help me.

If you already haven't, you should downgrade Google App to Version 7.3 clear Memory of Google App And Goggle Services and restart your device.

I'm on GAP 7.1.21 on my Galaxy S5 mini with MM 6.01 and language US English and Assistant starts when switching accounts on explore screen, but it doesn't start when long pressing home button.

How can I get Assistant working on Home Button?

I allready disabled GAP and installed GAP 7.1.21 several times with memory cleared and device restarted.
[Android Apps and Games] d_borghi:

[Android Apps and Games] d_borghi:
Tnx,

Last question:

How can I downgrade Google app?

Uninstall Option Is disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
You don't have to uninstall Google App to downgrade
[Android Apps and Games] d_borghi:
Google app is a system app (vers 7.10.x.x) and it's impossible to downgrade.

Then I brings it to user app by titanium backup, install it, install also 7.3 downloaded from apkmirror.

Now it works!!!!

Tnx
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
You should have been able to downgrade:confused:

Whatever, it works well:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] geckoas:
No, I don't have the assitant icon on bottom of the explore screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
And you meet the requirements for Google Assistant? Sorry I forgot:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] geckoas:
I think so, mm6.01, installed RAM 1,5GB but only 1.25 GB available due to system usage.

The assistant worked for me on home button untill Dec. 25 as GAP was updated after Play Store was updated and auto-update set to "ON"
[Android Apps and Games] geckoas:
It's working again, I don't know how.

Since one week I was trying to activate it again without success. Yesterday I cleared data of GPS and GAP, set Sys-Language to English US and deleted German Google keyboard language - no success.

Today I switched Sys-language and Google Keyboard language to German. And now assistant is working again in German, hopefully for long time.

Hi. I tried to run Assistant on my Xperia Z1 Compact 5.1.1. It has 2GB (in reality there are 1,7) of memory and 720p.

When I push on "set an alarm" or something, I see that Assistant isn't available.

[IMG="1"]https://pp.userapi.com/c824201/v824201683/a0a8c/RPf2ET69pDE.jpg[/IMG][IMG="2"]https://pp.userapi.com/c824201/v824201683/a0a96/5Zjyaro8pyI.jpg[/IMG]

I use Google App Beta 7.20.15.21.arm, but I tried other versions. And I cleaned the data.

Xperia Z5 Compact has 2GB of memory too and it can run Assistant.

What should I do?
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Downgrade to Google App v7.3
[Android Apps and Games] Ayieko:
Google Assistant On 1 GB RAM Phone Possible

I got it working on my 1 GB device after following the procedure:victory:

The success of this method highly depends on the version of Google App you are using from what I have found out. At the time of writing this reply, most versions were no longer allowing this trick. If you still can not get google Assistant, here is what I did. The only working version for me is 7.1.28.16, even the home button launches the Assistant fine. Any version 7.1.xx should work seamlessly. Versions above 7.3 are not working at all for me. Version 7.3 allows me to set up the assistant but I could not launch it using the home button.

Here is what I did

1. Downgrade my Google app to version 7.1.28.16. ( I had version 7.20.16.21 Beta which gives me an error device not supported)

To achieve this I had to uninstall Google App (Uninstall updates to the factory version). Install Google App 7.1.28.16.

2. Clear Google App data

3. Clear Play services data

4. Restart Phone ( I think this is important)

5. Open Google Assistant launcher and follow similar steps as describe on the post (Adding reminder and the rest)

This worked for me on:

Infinix Hot x510 (Hot 2)

1GB RAM

AndroidOne 6.0 Marshmallow
[Android Apps and Games] MyDePain:
When I have time I will look at the last version on which it still works
[Android Apps and Games] Ayieko:
Can not launch Assistant using the home button

If you are having a similar problem please downgrade your Google app from the version you are using. I recommend version 7.1.xx. Worked for me when I had a similar problem. Seems like Google patched later versions.
[Android Apps and Games] dikosty:
Hi everyone.

I got a Russian Google assistant on 5.1.1. Russian is now in a closed test.

This can only be done in the version 6.13.25.21.

I have installed Assistan Enabled 5.1 (Xposed Module), turned off Mobile data, and reboot phone. In Google I said "Ok google" and assistant switched on.

I tried to install 7.3.x, but Russian assistant stops working.

Now I have one problem. I can't run assistant without voice.

GoogleAssistantLauncher 1.0 doesn't work in this version of Google. Assistant does not appear, although assistant listen and speak, statusbar and navbar turn black.

I tried through Activity Launcher run activities of Google App, but there are "permission denied".

Look, different activities when assistant is on with voice and with GAL.

[IMG="voice"]https://pp.userapi.com/c840028/v840028229/78bfd/HwyyHhvkkTw.jpg[/IMG][IMG="GAL"]https://pp.userapi.com/c840028/v840028229/78c05/9bDQb7xLwws.jpg[/IMG]

Is there any application that can run assistant? Just a shortcut, I would install it for Home button.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Try Google Assistant App by Google
[Android Apps and Games] dikosty:
Google Assistant App by Google requires a newer version of Google App.

There is Activity In Google App that shows the possibility of launching through the button. But it is not possible to activate it. :(

[IMG="1"]https://pp.userapi.com/c840138/v840138355/721cb/WRJgabVs71w.jpg[/IMG]

Why GAL runs Assistant, but does not display it, I do not understand. I already made GAL system, but it did not help.

Are there any other programs that could help for so old version of Google App (6.13.25)?
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
There is an activity in GAL names Assist(something like that). Try launching that one
[Android Apps and Games] dikosty:
Yes, I tried to do this for a long time. I install GAL 1.0, 1.0.4, 1.2.

Everywhere assistant starts in the background, and if I say russian "hi", Google Search is launched, and assistant speaks (not Google Now).

[IMG="1"]https://pp.userapi.com/c824500/v824500151/ab95c/WjHByR4wWYE.jpg[/IMG]

It's a pity, but apparently I'll have to use a voice always. But it's better than nothing.

By the way, sometimes assistant stops responding. I suspect that service "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox:interactor" stops. This happens if you record a video or turn on the recorder.

[IMG="2"]https://pp.userapi.com/c824500/v824500156/ac6ea/GOvH9sTDM-M.jpg[/IMG]

Sometimes helps reboot phone or record my voice in Google App again. What can be wrong? I don't put this process to sleep.
