[Guide] How to enable Google Assistant on your Nexus 5X - Nexus 5X Themes and Apps

GO to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-enable-google-assistant-t3477879
All thanks to him!
Works on any 7.0+ ROM with Google App version 6.5+
Just remember to clear data from your Google app after you make your build prop edits. Reboot and then you'll see Google Assistant
I'm not responsible if your phone blows up blah blah blah...

Like i asked in the other thread, have you tried reverting the build prop to see what happens? I wonder if it would stick or revert back to the old Google settings.
[edit] I'm going to give a crack out of using Magisk, I'm running Pure Nexus so i will report back.

Try it and bootloop..

Works fine, just change the language to english

I have this installed and working on my N6, but the voice model won't stick, I have to keep retraining it. Does installing this allow OK Google to work?

can confirm working, (using October update on a 5x) and 6.5.35 use the zips and flash them like instructed in the video the manual first method doesn't work

Reverting back from Pixel to Nexus 5X im build.prop works just till the reboot. Then it can work just for one shot or two if lucky after having reboot done. Then it does not. At least on mine. Had to move from Czech to English anyway.

You can read up on magisk here
Basically magisk allows you to modify /system without actually modifying /system.
My mod just adds the two properties
Code:
ro.product.model=Pixel
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
to your build.prop to enable Google Assistant.

Has Google assistant stuck on for anyone else after a few reboots?
I decided to revert the ro.device line back to Nexus 5X and it's still there!? how cool!?!

Nice. I only have one issue. Google assisted always wants to relearn my voice. For that reason i am not able to use the OK Google command.

What about you never had any updates. I have a kindle fire so i had to push apk to system/app originally. Deleted botje the googlesevicesframework and vending data also I tried to delete vendin apk and install the one from OP and it tries to copy over old when when i had already deleted it.

reading that thread looks like the patch isn't "sticking" though.... they're doing it without the GSF patch and maybe that's the problem?

Thanks for taking a look at this issue. I have reviewed these changes and it makes sense why the "DPI Hacked" versions that I posted are not "sticking". The only problem I can see is that the version of GSF in this thread is not matching either the official "20110828" or the official "20120317" ICS version of Google Apps. When I compare GSF versions, I get a lot more changes than just seeing a one line difference in /GoogleServicesFramework/smali/com/google/android/gsf/checkin/CheckinRequestBuilder.smali. Can you tell me what version of GSF was used? It says 2.3.7, but its not the same as my version.
Also, all the changes made in your DPI modified version of Vending.apk seem ok, except, I'm not sure why there are changes to res/menu-v11/actions.xml and some of the other resource files. The "cleanest" way to package this is to copy the modified classes.dex into an unaltered version of Vending.apk. This way, apktool will not do anything funny to the resource files and doing a file comparison will not show a bunch of unwanted changes.
I would also like to mention that these files will not work for ICS or any DPI other than 240.
Attached are my logs of the file comparisons to the original versions. Thanks.
Is this one working with ics?
Got the .15 version working with 182DPI and it doesnt revert using density modder.
Tried some from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580827
But does not stick.
Seems you also have to install the GSF for it to work.

I can confirm this as well on Nexus S (240dpi) with AOKP M5. I never use Talk on my phone though so for me it's an acceptable bug.

The GSF apk has "signature" protection enabled in it's AndroidManifest.xml. You could either change "signature" to "normal" so the protection is disabled, or you could resign the other apk's (such as talk.apk) so the signature matches. For example, if I modify GSF.apk and sign it with my "test key", then the signature protection within the apk will only trust apps that are signed with the "test key".
This doesn't seem to be working for me. I cleared Market data, copied both APKs and rebooted, and now I have the latest Play Store version but still I can't install a lot of apps -- mostly they don't even show up when I search on the phone.

Exchange security bypass!

As far as I know this only works on the rooted AT&T version and that's because I didn't create it and that's the only version I've tested it on.
If you download this:
http://d-h.st/z9O
And remove the two apks for email and exchange....
Then I booted into recovery mode and deleted both the existing email.apk and exchange.apk as well as the odex files
After that, I copy and pasted the apks from the zip into the app folder and rebooted the phone again.
Voila!
It didn't work perfect the first time and I got a bunch of force closes. After doing it again I didn't get any so if it works for you you shouldn't have any force closes.
For what it's worth I don't take credit for the zip and I don't take responsibility for If anything bad happens to your device..
I would recommend making a backup of the existing apks in case anything goes wrong.

Install Xposed and go to the modules tab and install "Exchange Bypass." Add your exchage account AFTER you install and enable the module and the security is gone.

[App mod] milk music working on any android device

To get milk music working on rooted, not samsung (and older samsung) devices.
Step 1: Back Up Your Build.prop
Just make a copy somewhere on your sd card, also make a backup of your os.
Step 2: Tweak Your Device Brand & Model.
Now go back to the /system directory, but this time tap on build.prop, don't long-press. Choose RB Text Editor to edit the file, then look for the model, brand, and manufacturer lines (highlighted below). Your original ones will show:
Note:as there are so many devices the <text> areas below will instead be specific to your device but the rest should be the same.
ro.product.model=<model>
ro.product.brand=<brand>
ro.product.manufacturer=<manufacturer>
Simply change them to match a (newer) Samsung device. I used a Galaxy S4.
ro.product.model=Galaxy S4
ro.product.brand=Samsung
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
Step 3: Save the build.prop
Step 4: Sideload the apk, because the play store still wont let you download it. So I am hosting an apk copy in my dropbox for ya'll.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a16vvbhu4h6gvg7/com.samsung.mdl.radio-1.0.176956 (1).apk
Milk Music will now work with most of the functionality that it would on a native Samsung device, except that you won't be able to log into a Samsung account for syncing stations or enable explicit content from the settings.
Please post if this is working or not working for you. Include your device name, android version, and rom version.
Please let me/us know of any tweaks to this process you had to preform in order to get this working.

i used ART for the first month of owning my N5... then i switched to dalvik for some of goodies that xposed offers... tried out a few and ultimately preferred stability over features and i basically removed all xposed and just left it with dalvik for a bit... I noticed lags and stutters here and there and eventually switched back to ART and I can honestly say that ART is MUCH smoother and stable than running any other mode... i've tested this extensively with various settings and setups (always stock ROM with stock kernel or Franco) and nothing is as smooth as using ART... so i'm not going back for even one feature using xposed... just my experience

It is possible to install the Samsung account app on non touchwiz firmware. I have managed to sideload it into CM11 and a GPe ROM on my S4.
Here's the .apk that I have saved on my SD card for when I flash new firmware:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qptszssdcl52i5n/Samsungservice.apk
Install it like any other app. Then in settings>accounts, add a new account and select Samsung. The app will ask to update, then you can create an account or login to an existing one. Milk Music will automatically see the account and then you can enable explicit lyrics in the app.
The only problem I have with Milk Music is that I can't update it. Samsung changed the way it determines device compatibility and "broke" the app for custom firmwares. I had to sideload it and just have to search for the .apk whenever the app gets updated since it won't update via google play store.

I keep getting the "App not installed" error when trying to install the updated version , any ideas? The original version installed fine, I just can't update it with the latest.
Sorry, I don't have any idea what would cause that. I use the apk downloader to pull the file from Google play since my phone (t mobile S4 running the GPE firmware) comes up as incompatible when I try to go to the app directly the play store. This apk installed just fine for me. Try uninstalling the existing app and then install the 7/1 file.

I don't have any involvement outside of providing the apks. I deleted the old files and left only the Samsung account apk and the latest milk music apk.
All I can suggest is deleting the old app, rebooting to recovery and clearing cache and dalvik and trying to reinstall. Maybe re-download the apk also. (Try apkdownloader or apkleecher to pull the actual file from Google play - that's how I managed to get it). Other than that, I can't provide any answers

Google Assitant

This is the official thread for google assistant app on our beloved Xperia L. We'll be talking of how to run it on our device, I'm other words a thread with all discussions for Google Assistant.
How many were able to run on your devices AFAIK it requires stock MM to run. I suppose someone will help us all to clearly run this on our phone.
That's the completely wrong place to post it, you could post it in Q&A of Xperia L!
You posted in the wrong forum I guess. This thread must belong to General or Q&A.
That aside, I was able to get assistant working on 7.1.

Change the following in build.prop
Code:
ro.product.model=Xperia L -> ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.product.brand=Sony -> ro.product.brand=Google
ro.product.name=C2105 -> ro.product.name=Pixel XL
ro.product.device=taoshan -> ro.product.device=marlin
Then below "ro.product.board=qcom", I added
Code:
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
Then force stop and wipe all data of Google and Google Play Services. Reboot, and launch Google and select your backup account. When you launch google, it'll ask you to use assistant. Done
Also, Assistant will keep asking you to retrain you voice. You can work around that using ChopAssistant.
That's it. Assistant should work now.
Note: Many threads ask you to only change/add
Code:
ro.product.model=Xperia L -> ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
However, it didn't work for me. So I changed a few other fields too and it did show up after that.
Can someone please explain to me what this "assistant" is?

It's a new feature "exclusive" to Pixel devices. It's like Siri/Cortana made by Google and features a sort of AI/machine learning. Google up "Google Assistant".

Probably not. It needs to see your phone as a Pixel Device to work. You'll get Now on Tap/Screen search if you have the original values in the respective fields.

Okay thanks.What if I update the ROM? Do I need to revert back to Xperia L in the build.prop to flash an updated ROM? Or keeping Pixel XL will be fine?

Not sure if it'd mess up something like CM Nightlies but if flashing a new ROM in recovery, it shouldn't matter I guess. You will need to re-edit the build.prop after flashing/updating the ROM. Try it yourself and let us know if you can

Google Assistant for Non-Pixel phones

http://www.androidauthority.com/google-assistant-open-gapps-747378/
Anyone else tried this yet?
No, would probably conflict with your already installed Gapps.
For Google assistant there are other other solutions.
This app if you're on Nougat
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trivisionzero.getassistant
For Marshmallow there is a Xposed module.
Btw, this thread should have been posted in "guides, news & discussion", or "Q&A".
Not in ROMs, kernels....
All the open gapps does is add to the build.prop to allow for Google Assistant.
On Nougat if you add ro.opa.eligible_device=true to the build.prop it will enable Google Assistant. It does not conflict with anything.

Guessing that you need to be rooted for this to work though?
If so, that will cause issues with Android Pay etc, so it may not be feasible.

Actually nope, you don't need root to install open gapps. You need TWRP though.

Moved here, as this doesn't go in the Development Section, read the Forum Rules on posting.
Adding the line to build.prop enabled Assistant on my device running Nougat.
