And it's a pretty simple code simply put in the app manifest.

<meta-data android:name="com.android.systemui.action_assist_icon" android:resource="@drawable/(assist icon name here)" />

I'll add this with 1.0.3, with Nougat shortcuts (surprise [MENTION=6002018]Ninnix96[/MENTION]! ;) )

Just a trivia:

Mobile security apps detect 1.0.1 as a virus since it uses the "testkey" signature.

Since 1.0.2, GAL runs under compilation, then a recompile on my device using Apk Editor, which fortunately, has it's own signatures. So it stops being detected.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Awesome!

But, what Nougat shortcuts?

1st for Direct Assistant

2nd for maybe that activity

And 3rd for Assistant Settings?
[Android Apps and Games] TenSeventy7:
You could put in any number of shortcuts to put in. I may just put in those with the first two.

Third one? I may just put in the Google Now/Feed. Though I still need to do another activity to launch the thing. ;)

+1 on this, it doesn't work on my Amp Prime running 6.0.1 either.
[Android Apps and Games] techster69:
Hmmm some rare case you two have got there, let me tell u how I got it to work.

1. In build.prop I have set Android to 7.1 and device model to Pixel

2. Added the ro.opa-eligible code (if it helps)

3. After all that the most latest (not beta) versions of play services and Google app

4. And just followed the given steps.....

That's all....
[Android Apps and Games] sonic0504:
But the phone I have hasn't been rooted yet.
[Android Apps and Games] tcpcd:
okay i follow same step, but now GAL is not opening.

before above step i got blank page on YOUR STUFF page.

i have N
[Android Apps and Games] tcpcd:
now its working

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

is that anyway to run GAL beside gujarati system language?
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Not now, Google Assistant is currently available in English(UK and US), French and German:)
[Android Apps and Games] @sumit@007:
Try changing system language.

I tried with hindi and it was working perfectly.:good:
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Looks like I'm unlucky.

It says it is not available in Hindi(India) as of now.
[Android Apps and Games] @sumit@007:
Its working on v6.13
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Oh, that's the thing behind:silly:

BTW, I know enough English and wouldn't mind no Hindi support for going to an older version:)

Could you check updating yours to the latest one?
[Android Apps and Games] @sumit@007:
I used root method to enable Assistant.

Because enabling Assistant from activity misses some functionality.

So if i update my Google app I will lose it because root method doesn't support Google version greater than 6.13

Anyway there is another method by changing buildprop.

I am gonna try that. & I will inform you what happenes...

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 AM ----------

:laugh:

I also don't like Assistant in hindi because it gives very strange answer in hindi sometime it makes no sense.

Words just translated into hindi it doesn't arrange it in any meaningful order.

:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Root method for enabling Assistant? Sounds like you are using Xposed.

Missing some functionality:rolleyes: Mind telling some?
[Android Apps and Games] @sumit@007:
Missing functionality is like: what's on screen and share screenshot option.

It was working well for me in previous beta builds but after some Google app updates it went away.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Do you have an Android phone with Official Assistant?

Google may have removed that functionality from the Assistant.
[Android Apps and Games] @sumit@007:
No i use Xposed module for assistant.

And the options are there

And I just changed buildprop

And Assistant working on latest Google app.

And it doesn't support hindi:(

Just English us and uk as you said.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
I meant some other phone. Not that one with Xposed for Assistant.

I have one, with RR 7.1.2, but it's not mine. I will have to wait till night to get access.
[Android Apps and Games] @sumit@007:
I have one phone with lollipop so no hope for assistant on it officially:silly::laugh:

Thanks to you it has Assistant now but not those options.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
What about share scrreenshot? Is it still there?
[Android Apps and Games] @sumit@007:
Yes
[Android Apps and Games] @sumit@007:
Here it is
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
It means only the phones with official assistant can use the share screenshot feature.

It doesn't work with unofficial Assistant:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] @sumit@007:
Yes i can be.

So said you have device with RR 7.1.2 does it support Assistant?
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Yeah, the official one.
[Android Apps and Games] @sumit@007:
Try activity method on it.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Can't access it now. I will reply you when I have access to the phone, sometime in the night:)

Hello,

I am having Lenovo Vibe k5 and having latest Google app (beta)

The assistant app is installed but on opening, it force closes.

What should I do?

My device is rooted

Edit:- Nevermind,I figured it out
[Android Apps and Games] AnshumanMilarki:
Any status on Google assistant launcher for Kitkat? :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Oh, for sure!

I tried GAL, editing min SDK version to 19, and it didn't work. It launched traditional Voice Search when opened from lockscreen.

Secondly, I tried launching com.google.android.apps.gsa.staticplugins.Opa.OpaActivity through a rooted terminal and it force closed again.

Clicking on add reminder does the same thing, it force closes, too.

I still want some logs to see what went wrong:good:
[Android Apps and Games] AnshumanMilarki:
Seems to be getting there...

One more question can we change ok google to anything else?
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Ya, even Hey Siri:laugh:

Just install Open Mic+ and set it up.
[Android Apps and Games] AnshumanMilarki:
But its only for google now
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
If you enable assistant, only then it will come:)
[Android Apps and Games] AnshumanMilarki:
Ok

I'm on stock Nvidia Shield K1 Tablet running 7.0 nougat. I can't get this to work. On stock launcher, not Nova. I run app, exit app, hold home key, the same old Google screen search comes up, not Assistant. Any advice? Thanks

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Also, when I add reminder, Google Assistant DOES come up! But not when I long press home key.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Go to settings>Apps>Default Apps>Assist and Voice Input and then select Google App. If it doesn't work, try changing it to GAL and then long press home button again.
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
I've tried both of those options. With Google app selected, I get screen search. With GAL selected, I get what looks like Assistant, but when you ask it something, it takes you to regular Google Now results.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Some screenshots of what you said looks like Assistant?
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
Here are some videos I just made showing what I'm talking about.

https://youtu.be/XbIaiBeE-hw
[Android Apps and Games] @sumit@007:
This isn't assistant bro.
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
I know it's not... Read my previous posts. Following all the instructions, I can't get Assistant to work with long pressing home button.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
In the 2nd video, I saw you access the Assistant. Try teaching it your voice.

Didn't it come after clearing data and opening GAL?
[Android Apps and Games] @sumit@007:
Try launching with

Ok Google.
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
Nope. There's no way to train my voice unless I revert back to the Google app. And after clearing cache, same result with long pressing home button.

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

Launching by voice only works with Google app, not with GAL.

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

Launching by voice only works with Google app, not with GAL.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Open GAL>3-dot menu>Settings>Phone> There you can find OK Google Detection.
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
Those settings aren't there.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
And what about Google app settings? Can you teach your voice there?
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
Like I said a few posts up, yeah, I can train my voice there in the normal Google app for Google Now, not Assistant.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Try adding a shortcut and then trigger it through Ok Google
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
I don't think I can create shortcuts on the stock Nvidia Shield K1 Tablet launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Open GAL, in the Explore screen, select anything such as My Assistant, and then scroll down. There you should see a manage shortcuts option.
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
Ok, I see that. What shortcut should I make or use?

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

Making shortcuts isn't doing anything.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Did you trigger the shortcut?
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
Yes, I used a pre-made shortcut. And when I say the command "Ok Google, cheer me up" I get the usual Google search results. According to the shortcut description, it's supposed to play YouTube videos of corgis lol. I said the voice command ok Google, I also long pressed home and then gave voice command. Just getting the usual Google search results.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Try triggering that through Assistant
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
I did. I tried through both Assistants set as default.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
I mean first add a reminder and trigger that...
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
How do you trigger a reminder?
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Trigger the shortcut and not the reminder. Adding a reminder will open the Assistant and trigger the shortcut from there.
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
I long press home, say add a reminder. It asks me what reminder to add. Then yes to save. Then say "Ok Google, workout time." It's supposed to play workout music in Google play. Instead, I get Google search results..........
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Not that reminder. The one in your stuff page. Which triggers the Assistant when pressed. Remember?
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
So yeah, I added a reminder. Then tried to activate shortcut with voice, same old Google search.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

You said to add a reminder. I did that. Then you said activate the shortcut. I tried that. Shortcuts and reminders are different. I'm not sure what you're telling me to do now lol.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Could you please tell me exactly which reminder and which shortcut I need to make? Concise instructions, because it sounds like you are mixing up shortcuts and reminders.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Okay.

Open GAL

Switch to Your Stuff tab

Click on Add reminder and then close that(Now you can chat with the Assistant)

Say Ok Google, [the shortcut you added]

Tell me if it works
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
After I click Add Reminder, I get this screen. Then close like you said.

Then I say Ok Google, then the shortcut Workout time. Google search results come up.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Change Google App to default Assistant
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
I just did.

Now when I click Add Reminder, I get the Assistant interface. Then I close out, like you said to do.

Then I say Ok Google, the shortcut Workout time.

Google search results come up, not the Google Assistant.

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

And when I long press home, I get the old Google screen search.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
After you close reminder, can you chat with the Assistant?
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
I just told you, when I say Ok Google and the shortcut, it gives me regular search results. And when I long press home key, I get the old Google screen search. The ONLY WAY Assistant ever comes up is by going to Add Reminder everytime...

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Immediately after I close reminder, yes, Assistant is up and running. But if I leave the Assistant, I can't get it back by saying ok Google or long pressing home key.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
When you say Ok Google, what comes up? Assistant or Voice Search?

Update:After you close reminder window, you get the Assistant. you say Ok Google [the shortcut] to THE ASSISTANT.
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
This.
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
This is so aggravating. Not sure why I'm having so much trouble getting this working...
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Before saying Ok Google, did you have the Assistant screen open?
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
Yes, OK Google works with Assistant open. Runs my shortcut commands just fine. But if I leave Assistant, I can't get it to come back with OK Google or long pressing home.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
I think you should talk to [MENTION=7342808]Jovic77[/MENTION] , the creator of this app. I don't think I can help you. One quick last thing would be to uninstall Google App updates and then trying again.
[Android Apps and Games] Briankbl:
Thanks for trying, it's much appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] xda_johndoe:
[MENTION=4999429]Briankbl[/MENTION]

Forgive me guys if I've skipped anything, tried to follow from OP. Understand we got different settups.

From about YouTube links, if everything is installed correctly, seems something isn't active or conflict.

Since you've reinstalled and tried clearing caches, then all the first activate/accept should have been there, just a suggestion(attached) try to find similar settings and go through them, I can't pin point.

Also, maybe [Open Mic+ for Google Now] might be a substitute worth to try in your case.

Edit: works on my n910t, ApocalypseX_M rom.

Attached is example semi "initialization" and not what i get. I cleared/disabled (forget what) to show that example screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] xda_johndoe:
To add, i do have rom control in my case and haven't tested without.
[Android Apps and Games] ATP4:
In Canada, the Google Home and the Assistant were released today in English and also in French.

Will there be an update to benefit from the French Canadian?
[Android Apps and Games] m00head:
Assistant on the Google Home device, vs Assistant on your Android smartphone should probably be treated as separate entities for now. For example, the Google Home device was originally launched in the US on November 4th 2016, followed by a UK launch on April 6 2017.

However, Android smartphone users with the system language set to English (UK) still have to temporarily set their system language to English (US) for the Google Assistant Launcher activation trick in the OP to work correctly. The system language can be set back to English (UK) once the Google Assistant has been activated, and I suspect the same thing will apply to French Canadian as well (for now).
[Android Apps and Games] m00head:
I am referring to this issue you may encounter if your system language is set to anything other than English (US):

Just wondering, is there any way for Google Assistant to work on KitKat? Planned to use an old phone as a cheap Google Home.

It's rooted and everything, if that makes a difference.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Not yet. Even with root.

There's an other way, too, Allo:laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:

Open com.google.android.apps.gsa.staticplugins.opa.hq.OpaHqActivity .

I'm confirme that. I've just "Explore" now.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:

[Android Apps and Games] ATP4:
No, on Nougat.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
Can you use the Assistant now?
[Android Apps and Games] ATP4:
I can by tilting in English (US), but not in my native langage, French (France).
[Android Apps and Games] technohunter123:
When I use your Nova Launcher shortcut, a screen with the words "Meet your Google Assistant" pops up with no other option to select other than no thanks. 50% of the time when I press that, it takes me back to Nova. The other 50% chance takes me to an Explore and Your Stuff Screen, with the Your Stuff tab being blank.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
There's a hidden button next to it, too. At the bottom right corner.

If your stuff tab is blank, change language to English(US), clear cache of Google App and then try again.
[Android Apps and Games] technohunter123:
Did not know that. Thanks!

However, if I press anything on the Explore tab, the app FCs. So it doesn't work either way.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikhilkumar038:
You do not have to press anything on the explore tab. You have to switch to Your Stuff tab and then click on add reminder.
[Android Apps and Games] technohunter123:
The Your Stuff tab is empty. And before the update, the Google app still force closed.
