Google Assistant for Non-Pixel phones - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

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.

Mod Google Now Launcher

Hi,
I want to add a column in the homescreen of google now launcher, but I don't know where to start!!
Could anyone do it for me or explain me how to do it??
Thanks a lot![emoji1] [emoji4]
Davide
PS I can't attach any link or file of GNL and Google Search apks extracted from my device! If I can I try to put a link in the comments
Oh no! I can't put any link! And I can attach files only from my gallery or my camera!
However, I ve got android lollipop google now launcher and google search. Thanks
Hey DgDav99, you can install "XGEL Settings" which is an Xposed module. This will allow you to completely modify Google's Experience Launcher as if it is Nova, Apex, etc. This will allow you to add a column, and also keep the quick swipe for Google Now. Hope that helps! Just note that you obviously must have root access to install Xposed.
He mentioned that he was using Lollipop.
As of this moment, Xposed is still not functional on Lollipop so theres no way he can use XGELS.
Sorry buddy but to be able to modify the GNL, you will have to go back to 4.4 at least and then root it, install Xposed and then install XGELS.
If you don't want to do that, you can use a different launcher such as Nova Launcher as of the current beta looks a lot like GNL and is highly customisable.
The only downside is that there is no "Swipe to left for Google Now"

I think some people need to learn how the hell to read stuff before popping off at the mouth.
Sorry, I didn't explain me. I'm on kitkat 4.4.2, but I'm running the GNL of lollipop(I don't remember the version)!
However, I know xGELs module, but I prefer waiting xposed for lollipop because my phone will Be updated soon. I only would like to know if there were others methods to modify GNL (for example modifying apk...) thanks

I'm not sure if there's a way to do that but you can use Xposed Framework with Xposed GEL Settings module to accomplish what you wanna do while on KitKat 4.4.2 until your phone is updated like a previous user mentioned

You can post a link as long as you put a space in the middle, like google .com, and even putting the link in the browser, people can just take out the space.

[Guide] How to enable Google Assistant on your Nexus 5X

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..

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.

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

Unable to change GPS joystick as a system app

Hello Everyone,
I have rooted my phone and am using GPS joystick Fake GPS location app from the play store. I am using a private mode within this app which helps me to create a copy of the app with a different name so that POGO does not detect it.
Everything works fine till here. I am using Lucky patcher to change the installed cloned app as a system app and it asks for a restart, after restart the cloned app goes missing.
I have no idea what is gng wrong and would need some light and help on this.
I am using a Xiaomi Mi Max
Android Version : 7.0 NRD90M
Android Security Patch Level: 2017-11-01
MIUI Version: MIUI Stable 9.2

I was told that was one of the apps to use, I do not mind using any other apps to get an app changed to a system app.

You can't use Titainium backup that does it but other then that I don't know. I don't mess with things like that.
Also just be careful. They are banning people caught cheating. To the point of banning the device itself.

Use titanium backup. Saw the auto correct was a mistake. That is really the only way but even then it has been detected by the game.

Can we not make an app a system app without using any of these apps?
IF i am right does it not just move the data/app to priv/app folder?

It does but it requires root. You could try just moving it with a file explorer but no promises it will work. Normally system apps only work when flashed. Also they tend to code things to look in the data partition. So moving it to system can cause issues.
You can try a few but no promises.

The phone is rooted for sure, but moving the data/app to priv/app then when I reboot it.. the files go missing! As if it was never pasted there...! That is what is causing all the issues!

That's most likely due to the signature. All apps in system need to have the same signature. Without it the apk won't run at all.
I can't help any more then that. People here don't use multiple versions of the same app.

Ask the developers of the apps and themes! ?
Andromeda is Oreo only at this point,you probably have pie. (It even says so in play store)
Swift installer works great so I'm happy

You might be right about that, but you never know. Pie restricts 3rd party theming without root access (which i hate pie). So rooting might be essential for OP if OP decides to get/already has pie.
