This is a guide to enable Google Now Cards / Now on Tap in any country, if you get the not available in your country.
Works on Android L/M/N
NO ROOT REQUIRED
Video:
​
!! WARNING: THE FOLLOWING STEPS MAY VARY DEPENDING ON THE ANDROID VERSION YOU ARE IN, BUT THE GUIDE SHOULD STILL WORK !!
Instructions:
(1) Remove SIM card (if you have one)
(2) You need to come from a fresh install (factory reset)
(3) At the first time setup skip all steps. No wifi, no email, no time/date, nothing.
(4) Disable Location
(5) Connect to Wi-Fi
(6) Go to Settings > More > VPN and connect to any VPN from US or UK (I use vpnbook.com PPTP) - Add a simple pattern for security
(7) Once you are connected with the VPN, Tap the Google App
(8) Sign in with your account
(9) After you sign in, you'll see a new window introducing 'Google Now'. Click "Yes, I'm in".
(10) To enable Now on Tap go to Settings > Google > Search & Now > Now Cards > Now on Tap and enable it
(11) Insert your SIM card and delete VPN (and the pattern you set up earlier if you wish)
(12) Enjoy Now on Tap
Hit thanks if this guide helped you!

I tried it and it doesn't work. It still says not available in my country when i try to enable it at Now Cards in Settings.
1] I removed SIM card,
2] did Factory Reset,
3] Turned Off Location Services (I assume this is GPS?),
4] Enabled Developer Mode
5] Connected to my home WiFi
5] Downloaded and Installed my VPN apk
6] Choose USA server.
7] Opening Google app as it says is doing nothing - just directs to the search bar. So instead I added account. Settings/Accounts/Add Account, then added my Google Account.
8] I have a two-step verification so I had to change that to another mobile number also based in my country (Where normally Google Now is not available). After receiving the code I entered it and my account was setup.
9] After Account was set, no prompt for Google Now and Now Cards are not available in Google Settings.
10] Estimated cost of damage about 125EURO considering one working day to restore all.
11] Ideas?

works for me!
thanks

Worked on my Nexus 5
I live in Tehran (Iran) and your tutorial worked for me.
I just need to mention that one extra step was crucial to the VPN process and that was setting up a VPN on my ADSL router.
I also had to disable TwoFactor Authentication in order to login without using the simcard.
Thanks for the tutorial.

Thank you works fine on D6603

Do you connect to a VPN in setting or install an app for that? Cant open store without logging into gmail
Edit: NVM that, I got it working. Thank you.

LS996 ZV9 bootloop (secure boot error 1003) FIXED!

I got my Rooted LS996 ZV9 into bootloop (secure boot error) while trying to install xposed with flashfire!
Couldn't return back to normal (via LGUP needed ZV9 tot file for that which cant be found right now)
Update 1 :- All thanks to Alex_XV6700, and pelelademadera; Downloaded n Flashed ZV8 tot using LGUP tool over my rooted-unlocked stuck ZV9, then flashed ZV9 img rooted file over ZV8 using Jmd.Desai's bypass method to copy ZV9rooted img file to my phone memory via File Explorer launched via playstore itself (JMD.DESAI method below). The phone booted up. But then its stuck in the "Configuring your phone screen again" see the SS!

}
Update 2 :- The phone is now functional to some extent thanks to Jmd.Desai's step-by-step tutorial to bypass LG FRP lock screen. You need to have root access to allow disabling the LG Setup Wizard. That will after a few minutes bring your homescreen launcher option up
RECENT Apps not working, NOTIFICATIONS not working, SWIPE DOWN quick settings not working; phone actually becomes a Nokia3310.. . SS attached for current state!
Update 3 :- This is where my experiment worked! Restart the phone at least once so some settings settle down on system level. Download Shortcut Master (lite) and search for "user" via menu. Results will bring us a lot of options. We need to find the "com.google.android.setupwizard.user.WelcomeActivity" like in this SS - >
Launch this option and press Next or Okay whatever appears on the screen and the Wizard screen will close down!
Next scroll down and find "com.google.android.setupwizard.user.SetupCompleteActivity" like in this SS - >
Launch this option as well. And finish the LG Setup Wizard. Yes Niggah we're all set to roll our LS996 ZV9 rooted; ask me if you don't understand anything and please press thanks for everyone who helped me! :fingers-crossed::laugh:
P.S. Don't get rolling over me if you kill your device anywhere; I've tried to be as crystal clear as possible! Thank you everyone who participated in this war against terrorism (okay sorry) :silly:

you still have your rootedsystem.img in your internal storage?

LG becomes more ridiculous over the time, They couldn't even build a kdz file for one of their phones. Sorry man I hope you get a solution.

ZV8 tot method worked!

BINGO! Thanks to Alex_XV6700, (I love him! He's the bro) I flashed ZV8 tot posted here and the phone has booted! But I'm stuck on the activation screen right now LOL

Okay now I'm stuck on "Configuring your phone" screen after flashing.. Receiving calls but can't do anything else :-/
Screenshot in 1st post (OP)

clear data from recovery , reboot the phone ,
1] connect to wifi 1
2] connect to wifi 2 (just start hotspot from anywher, - the purpose is just to invoke connection optimizer)
3]next , next till configuring screen
4] When you are on configuring screen , after some time (may even take 30minutes) a dialog/message box of connection optimizer will pop up, scroll down on that and press "here". It will open chrome.
5] In chrome , press menu -> help and feedback->menu -> view in play store.
6]In play store open google (search) app and open it . Search for settings and open it .
7]In settings , goto apps -> find setup wizard , force stop and disable it.
At this point you have successfully bypassed configuring screen.Then on what you do next is up to you!!

All of this actually worked aside from the searching for SETTINGS, that I did with a Shortcut Maker App. But after force closing LGSetupWizard, there was no Disable option lighting and the phone came back to the same situation after I kept clicking BACK touch button! What am I doing wrong?

What i did was root the device and then via root disable app disabled setup wizard?

That will not work untill the system is actually activated not bypassed and idk how to do that !!
If you can anyhow find any option to factory reset from settings then it solves the problem.In other devices , new user acc. is created and factory reseted from there but that option is not available in gf2.

Do let me know if you find something out for making it work fully in LGgf2
UPDATE - I found a fix (See OP) and bro-hug

Notification Issue

Hi guys,
I made search online, watched videos, set the phone as it should be (protect app, app working in background, data and wifi ever on) but my problem is one: sometimes whatsapp notifications works, sometimes doesn't.
As long, I detected it on whatsapp, I also tried the beta of whatsapp and seems better but not fixed at all, in fact sometimes I don't receive notifications.. one case is when I'm using whatsapp and I switch to another app without going to the home (Like click on a notification of gmail when I'm on whatsapp) and after this I don't receive notifications until I restart the phone/uninstall whatsapp and install again.
I use the stock launcher, no root and the version is C900B170
Thank you for help me in case.

WhatsApp Users
For all of you who have been lamenting the poor notification situation on Nougat, cried over the fact that you only see the most recent message making the whole "notification" thing completely useless, things are looking out.
In version 2.17.14 beta (grab it from APK Mirror), WhatsApp has properly implemented notifications on Android 7.0 and 7.1 Nougat devices.

I managed to install adb drivers, went through the stuff until the moment I had to install twrp.. This is what I got.
fastboot flash recovery (MYPCSTUFF)/twrp-3.0.2-0-next.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (22020 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.624s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.629s
I understand why this happens to me, is because I didn't unlock it. I wrote an e-mail to huawei for give me the code so I can unlock it and I will do the installation of the recovery

I am using it.

I can Confirm this.
I just did it on a Mate 30 pro from China just now with the help of this guide below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8LLMx_Qy0Q&feature=youtu.be
It doesn't matter if you get an Exclamation (!) when you open the GMS app., Just proceed with the installation of the Google Apps in the package.
Some Notes:
1. After installation, reboot the device (the CHECKING INFO screen will just loop and nothing will happen if you don't reboot)
2. Go to Settings>accounts and add the Google account
3. Open Gmail and Appstore as usual and your account will be there.
4G and GSM signals are working fine.
I have downloaded and install apps from the Playstore and everything is working fine without any hiccups.
Cons;
Sometimes the Appstore will close but re-opening it again will take you where it close. (maybe its a different case for others)
Notes on the instruction video:
Instead of using an SDcard I have used an OTG USB cable and saved the backup there. (because I dont have an SD card when I do the procedure)

[Guide][Assistant 2.0][All Android 10 ROMs] How to get the new Google Assistant 2.0 !

Let's get started.
Hello guys. Many of you must've seen the new Google Assistant 2.0 from the Pixel 4 family making a lot of buzz.
Well no need to buy a pixel because you can get it working on your phone running Android 10.
This method has been tested on various phones running PE, Havoc, and Evolution X.
Pre requisite
1. A phone
2. Android 10 (preferably Gapps version)
3. Root
4. A file explorer with root access (I use solid explorer)
5. Little bit of brain and some patience
Steps
1. The first thing to be done is to spoof your device as a pixel 4/4 XL. For this you can use one of the following methods.
A. Manually edit your build.prop file using a file explorer (Like root explorer/ solid explorer etc)
B. Flash Pixel_4_XL_props using magisk (File Attached)
C. Flash the Module MagiskHide_props_config from Magisk repo
Then open Terminal app. Type
Code:
props
followed by selection "1", then "f", then "6" (corresponding to Google), then "23" (corresponding to "Pixel 4 XL")
Then go back to main page of props make selection "2", followed by "s" (device simulation), followed by "a" (Enable all props), followed by "1" (Enable)
Then restart the device.
2. Once the device restarts, try triggering the assistant, it should prompt you to download the additional files for assistant 2.0. If not, just clear the data of Google and try again.
3. Once assistant 2.0 is enabled, you still won't get the beautiful colourful UI like the pixel 4. For that follow the following steps.
4. Using file explorer, navigate to the directory /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/shared_prefs.
5. Replace the file GEL.GSAPrefs.xml with the one attached bellow
6. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT: Go one step up to /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/ and change the permission of the folder "shared_prefs" The folder not the files in it to 551 (dr-xr-x--x)
7. Force stop the Google App and start it again. It should now be showing the coloured bar UI like Pixel 4.
8. Profit?

Video of my phone (OnePlus 7 with Evolution X 4.20) running assistant 2.0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToE6qO6GQXg

I did all of it, but now "ok, google" is not working. Why?

It works really well on Redmi Note 4/x, Note 5/Pro, Note 6 Pro and Note 7 thanks!

Everything works flawless except "Ok Google" function.

Ok Google is not working in redmi note 5
Assistant is working fine. i'm using you prop but still "OK GOOGLE" is not working . why??
suggest me something

Google search FC'ed

MY Google search always fc when I copy the GEA
L.GEAPrefs to /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/shared_prefs/

Is anyone able to find solution to this error? I have moved the xml file also. No longer on beta version of Google & Play Services. I have Moto G5 Plus (Potter) on PE10 latest update.

install this and enjoy

you used my instruction from a telegram. but OK
In Gelgsaprefs edit your email. Currently there is data nishant_713
And this guide doesn't work with all roms 10 Not works with LineageOS and smartphones arm version Only PixelExperience Rom

Is there a way to backup stuff before doing this?

Offline work.
Do you know why this doesn't work offline or a fix so that assistant can work offline.

How to manually edit build prop because when i use magisk module then my ir face unlock stops working and i tried editing build prop on my own and ended up stuck in bootloop so please tell me what to edit and where to edit

The color bar doesn't appear after flashing the magisk module. Anyone fixed this? :>(

I did all the steps on my S8+ and everything working fine but after a while when i open google search it crashes and force closes so i have to clear data and reinstall assistant additional data and so on, then everything good i get the colors, ok google working but then after a while same thing google search crashes.
What seems to be the problem, is there a solution or how can i revert to how it was? For example reverting back what i did with terminal emulator...

Thank you it worked on my redmi note 6 pro but the problem is the ok Google isn't working it say unavailable for this language

Any telegram or discord group where someone would answer questions?
Still trying to figure out why at the moment of install everything works good but then after a lil bit google search starts force closing.

With today update Google app New Google Assistant works on all ROMs with set build.prop to Pixel 4 XL And without copy gelgsaprefs.xml this file is now much bigger with all function activated

Why so complicated? Just use the nga.xml sysconfig in /product/etc/sysconfig... Would be pretty easy to make another Module for that...
Nevermind, Just saw the glowing UI...

just delete all data of the Google app and this will reset that XML file to the original state. Do not paste the attached file again. And you'll see everything working properly
