i try to remove default but when i did this.. message wont working So i reinstall rom again for working again.
Thanks n sorry for bad english

This is a problem with GoSMS. They have an option in one of the settings that you have to tick to fix the problem. I haven't used GoSMS in a long time so i can't remember where the setting is.

You can freeze/uninstall the app from Link2SD (even without linking your apps) or you can remove /system/app/Mms.apk from ADB or a File manager that supports root exploring (ES File Manager, Root Explorer) in this case you need to remember that you MUST remount the system partition as r/w.

Well, lol why'd you change the host file permissions?
You can easily fix this by flashing a ROM, it'll rewrite the permissions you,have currently with new ones.

Need help after installing custom ROM

So, the ROM works fine and everything is dandy, but the main issue that irks me is that I have to press "ok" every time after disabling data:
http://gyazo.com/24c68b47ea03f668397c798bac1df55f
Is there a way I can change that the message does not show up or do I need to go into ADB? I'm not sure how ADB works either.
TestKnow has also released a universal ADB driver. Not sure how well that works or if anyone has pointers because I had a tough time installing ADB in the first place.
Another issue is the messenger app. There's a different version of the stock messenger app that I want to install because in this version I can send messages without typing anything:
http://gyazo.com/f38f7d74870c98b40d1e39ab66d24e19
I tried to push another app before but it just permanently crashed the app and I had to reflash. Is there another way? ADB again?
Thanks.

Sadly this is present in both stock 5.0.2 and 5.1.1.

The disabling data thing? I mean, I can live with this and the other issue, but I would be happier if I could fix them. I know phones aren't perfect so I'm just trying to be realistic here. I haven't downloaded any apps yet to see if I can remedy these two things first. Thanks for replying.

If you're rooted you can use mobile toggle data from xda.
Google it.
With that you can either make a widget or Tasker profile.

I meant from the pulldown menu like in this picture: http://gyazo.com/24c68b47ea03f668397c798bac1df55f
It's not a dealbreaker for me but it would be nicer.
Would you know how to push an apk into the system drawer? I wanted to add a different version of the messenger and maybe keyboard app.

Sadly no, but will be happy to hear it, if you find a way!

You can use ROM toolbox pro to convert a user app to a system app.
Or if you already have a system app apk file then just paste or move it /System/app or priv app and set permissions using a file explorer then reboot phone.

Does not instal
on apkmirror site it says that apk is targeted for lolipop 5.0 API21...mate 8 is MM6.0 API23
I think it has to be "ported" but I have no idea how

It works like copy in system / app and give permission (rw-r-r)but your Phone must be rooted.
Look the Pic in Attachment

Thanks. I will try. My phone is rooted. I just try to be cautious with instalation of apps like phone, messaging. etc to mot to get a mess with stock ones.
If it works well maybe the better is to uninstal or freeze huawei messaging. I will give feedback

Yes, as a system app it works great
many thanks

I can confirm Asus Messaging works on the Samsung Galaxy S7 as a system app, it just won't let me choose a specific tone for notifications. I can select one but only have back as an option, so the notification tone stays at whatever the system default notification tone is set to.
Just create a folder in /system/priv-app (for example: AsusMessaging).
Drop the APK in this folder (Rename the APK you want)
Set permissions on AsusMessaging to RWXR-XR-X
Set permissions on the apk to R-XR--R--
Reboot
Run the app, and make sure to give it the permissions it needs. It has to be set as the default messaging app.
I ended up removing it since the app still plays a notification for every message received while you are in the middle of an open conversation, and there is no apparent way to change this behavior.

After clearing my data I have to restart before assistant starts working.

Didn't work.
I've followed all the steps above.
1. I've mounted the system folder as R/W
2. I've copied velvet.apk to the directory, and gave it rw- r-- r-- permissions.
3. I've opened the build.prop file, edited it to add the two lines.
4. Opened the settings, went to the google app, and cleared cache, went into the manage space and cleared all data.
5. Restarted my device.
6. Long pressed the home button, and the google-on-tap screen comes up.
I've re-checked everything I've done. All the permissions are set and the build.prop is still modified. Can you please help?
Edit: I've downloaded the apk in the hope that it was corrupted the first time. I think it was. I've got the assistant running now. Thank you!
However, everytime I say "Ok, Google" it takes me to the screen where I start training my voice model. Is this the issue for everyone? Or is it just me? I've looked around and a few people are reporting the same thing. I was wondering if there was a fix for this?

@linkinscreamer and others... you might try ChopAssistant from the Play Store. It bypasses the prompt to retrain the voice. It worked for me

What happens if I don't have a file called velvet? Running xperience 7.1 rom

I'm curious... has anyone had any success activating GA on Marshmallow?

I tried on stock 6.0.1 and didn't work. Any help?

If You Don't Have A Folder Called Velvet Inside /system/priv-app/ that means You Don't Have the Google app. If You Don't Have the Google app,simply create a new folder under /system/priv-app named Exactly as 'Velvet' and follow the steps.:good:

Not a Fix,There is a Workaround.
An App Called "Chop Assistant" Seemingly Does the Job.

Download velvet file
Move and replace file to /system/priv-app/velvet
Change permissions to rw-r--r--
Edit build.prop adding both lines
Delete data from Google App
Reboot device
Long press home
But direct search activated, there's not Google assistant, what I'm doing wrong?

Have you mounted system as RW instead of RO? Otherwise the build.prop changes won't take place.
