You need to edit the whole Google App itself to have it. And all the Proguard makes it much harder to port it to KK. Assist intent is missing, it needs to deal with older (and unsecure) APIs, and even Google has it less supported.

Besides, KK's deprecated already, even if many devices still have the thing. I don't have any KK device (I actually have one, but is Custom ROM-ed to MM) here to test Assistant.

===================

The rewrite will be somehow be finished next week. I still need to figure out how to get all those APIs and SDKs and NDKs. ;) xD
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
I also have a KK device here which was also custom rom-ed to MM, but an internal storage bug ruined it and I have to bring it back to stock KK.

Thats why I was working on Google Assistant on KK:)

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

For SDKs and NDKs you can use the SDK manager in Android Studio:)

Np thank you
[Android Apps and Games] TenSeventy7:
I'm actually downloading those. But internet connections during the afternoon (here) is somewhat slow. xD
[Android Apps and Games] AnshumanMilarki:
That is enough information about assistant on kitKat

Thank you

Expecting assistant shortly
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
I don't think you should expect it shortly;)

It may take a long time and maybe, tomorrow:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] TenSeventy7:
I just downgraded my device to KK again ( :silly: ) so I may also test it.

Just that weird Google crash when launching GAL. :confused:

250-950Kbps. Randomly. It may reach up to 1.5Mbps sometimes.

I'm new to Android Studio, so I still need to know more things and how to code in here. I may decompile 1.0.2 (the most working one) and freshen codes. I may also add Help and About activities in here, though I still don't know where to put it. Launcher? Nougat's shortcuts? I still have no idea. :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] AnshumanMilarki:
That would be great if tommorrow :laugh:

You can do anything dev

Thanks

Btw still expecting :D:fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
I think you should design a dashboard for your app with some ideas listed-

When opening the app, thee must be a splash screen with the logo of Google Assistant and, below, slogan of Google Assistant for Everyone.

Next, after opening the app, would be two buttons with logos before them. 1st would be a Google Assistant logo and after it, written, Enable Google Assistant. 2nd would be a Pixel's home button logo and after it, written, Enable Google Assistant on tap.(This would lower the amount of posts saying they still have traditional Voice search instead of Google Assistant;) )

Clicking 1st should open the Explore screen and, some images should guide the users on what to do.

Clicking 2nd would then tell the user to long-press the home button and select Google Assistant as default.

After the user have selected their option from the dialog box and is able to use it, the app should now have a navigation drawer and in the nav-drawer would be three buttons, one for About, 2nd for Settings, and 3rd for Help.

The nav-drawer would be material-designed like Play Store's and the place where the Profile Picture is shown, in your app would be a logo of Google Assistant with a material white coloured background.

I really love Easter Eggs. If you would like, clicking the Google Assistant logo on the nav-drawer several times would open a toast, You have enabled secret settings. I don't know about what to put in them, I would think about it later...

And that's a good news you are back to KK. Well, I know about the force close of the Google App. I am currently travelling, and when I am back to home, I would check the logs for maybe some help.

I think you now have a lot of idea about how to design your app;)

For some reason on my J5 2015, when i press the home button, it launches Google Voice Search instead of Google Assistant, on MM
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Have you enabled the Google Assistant?
[Android Apps and Games] TenSeventy7:
That's. A. Brilliant. Idea!

I'll definitely do it. But I may follow the Google-style splash screen (logo on the center, dev. logo below). ;)

On some devices, you may manually need to set the app as default.

On MM+, simply select Google App. But make sure you already opened and activated Google Assistant from the launcher. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] A_Random_Guy:
The launch google assistant settings from add reminder? Yeah did that just fine but long pressing the home button launches Now on Tap. Language is already English US
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
I wasted around 20-30 minutes for writing this and you read just in about 2 minutes?:eek:

Really fast reading speed, maybe even faster than UFS2.1:p

Well, I think you have to select Google Assistant instead of Google App.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Go to settings>Apps>Top-flight corner gear icon>Assist and Voice input>

There you have to select Google Assistant instead of Google App:good:
[Android Apps and Games] TenSeventy7:
You may need to manually set Google Assistant as default. Go to the Default Apps screen (on Settings > Apps) and Set Assist and Voice (something) to Google Assistant. Uncheck the two options below.

My phone's EMMC 5.1. :P

But my reading is possibly UFS 2.1, I dunno. :silly:

Weird on some devices. Mine (7.1.1) and Huawei P9 (7.0) just needs to open GAL and set a reminder. Consecutive home long presses shows GA, both Google App and GAL.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
After all, this method is unofficial, so, weird things have to happen:p

Maybe after enabling the Assistant through my method the Google App would think it was already there as it is above MM. I also don't know:p .

I ask the assistant for directions, it gives me the driving info, but the navigation never starts.

It works pretty good on my other phones (Asus Zenfone 2 Laser running Android 6.0.1) but somehow it doesnt work on my Alcatel Pixi 4 running Android 6.0 only. The method that I was using on both phone was:-

Clear Google App & Google Play Services data

Reboot

Open GAL (it will force close by itself)

Open Google Apps > Hamburger option and there will be an option for Google Assistant

Teach GA your voice and then press home button. I got my GA from that method but somehow on my Alcatel phone didnt gets it

Google Assistant

I think that the Google Assistant can't opening any other apps by chat...example like telling it to send an email or setting a remainder .Whats the solution for that?﻿I am using Redmi 2 Prime.Its freezing chat with three dots popping.
[Android Apps and Games] Omkar Paranjape:
Tried to do that. Sorry to say no success again.

The Nova launcher activity didn't even show the white screen.

One more important thing i feel is when i try to long press home key and open GAL it launches the voice search of "Google now" and not Google Assistant.

GAL version is 1.0.4

Please help me out!

Sorry for questions:

I installed Google App und GAL.

Can I switch later to German language back?

Thanks in advance

I switched back to German language and it works now.

How to use app without sign in?

I don't have GAPPS installed because play services crash each time I install it. I have Google app installed. Is there a way to make it work without signing in. Or is there any other app which can allow me to sign in to my Google account.

TIA.
[Android Apps and Games] zann1610:
Hey I use Android 5.1 and it worked perfectly for me. Thank you for that. And even the "OK GOOGLE" hotword is working from any screen even the lock screen. And Voice Search is also perfect just like anyother MOTOROLA device working on Android nougat which I have( moto g5 plus).

Just to let you know when I installed the app at first only the app was opening and Assistant didn't activated but later I added a reminder and Assistant instantly got activated (whcih was not mentioned in your process to activate it).

Btw I appreciate your work, Thank you.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

Happened to me too, but I figured it out. Do one thing clear app data of google app and google play services and then install this GAL app and then Turn on network and goto google app and do the starting stages like setting the backup account and all ( bcz you cleared the app data), get Google app in fully working state like it used to be before and then lauch GAL app it may take some time to launch like the configuring screen but will start. Then when it laucnhes add a reminder from GAL app and you are done. Enjoy your assistant.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
BTW, how did you solved that?

---------- Post added at 03:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------

You are launching the wrong activity.

It's com.google.android.apps.opa.hq.OpaHqActivity

Try this-

Launch the above mentioned activity with Cellular Data turned off.

If it opens, then turn on Cellular Data and see if that works:good:

---------- Post added at 03:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 AM ----------

If you are rooted, you can place the Play Services App in your /system/priv-app/ directory, and give it the permissions, rw-r-r .

If you're not rooted, you can try to download Google Account Manager fir your appropriate android version.

If both methods don't help, then download Google Allo:silly:

Hope this helps:good:

---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 AM ----------

If you carefully look at the OP again, you can find some text like this"Done! Launch the app first, create a reminder, and teach the assistant your voice"
[Android Apps and Games] Baidya99:
Thanks for the reply.

I have no root but I can put the Play Services app in priv-app dir using adb. I had done it but could not give the permissions. Could you please tell me the command to give rw-r-r permission.

[Android Apps and Games] Baidya99:
No Play Services still crashing. And on pressing sign in nothing happens.

Gonna try to install Google Account Manager to see if it works.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Wait!

If your Play Services are crashing, you should try to install the apk manually after you've placed the apk in your system/priv-app directory i.e., update the google app with the same version.

Edit: Play Services without Google Account Manager will do nothing:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] Baidya99:

[Android Apps and Games] TenSeventy7:
Install OpenGapps. This should fix every crash you're experiencing.

[Android Apps and Games] TenSeventy7:
Select pico, then free up at least 120MB off your System. Delete the core Google Apps you've already put in to the system.

What's your device anyway? CTS-compliant devices should have space to put in all Google Core Services. :confused:

[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Just follow these steps-

Download the core google apps (Play Services, Play Store, Google Account Manager, Google Services Framework and Google One Time Init) from APK Mirror.

Put them in your system and grant the permissions rw-r-r.

Reboot, wiping cache and dalvik-cache.

Done!

If Play Services still crashes, then download ZipMe from Play Store, make a flashble zip of Google Play Services and flash it. It worked in my Xolo Q1010i running CM13 two times:laugh:

If you're running LL, long-press the home button, and select GAL as default.

If you're running MM+, long-press the home button and select Google App as default.

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

Have you installed Google App as a system App?

And did you tried launching the right activity without Cellular Data?
