I've been reading quite a bit about the Google Play Services update that will bring Google Assistant to Marshmallow and Nougat devices. Anyone been lucky enough to actually see this update? I check the Play Store every couple of days and haven't seen it yet myself.

Hmm, not sure what that emoji represents, but I'm not looking to install Allo. Google Assistant is extremely limited through that app.
Funny how I could be so specific and still get a troll response. Oh well guess XDA is just like any other forum. Gotta love it when the guy with one hundred posts thinks the guy with fewer posts is less informed. Keep trolling El.

Allo is the wrapper for Google Assistant. I.e., install Allo to get Google Assistant.

You're welcome. :angel:
Got it figured out and you don't have to install "Allo" or root your device. Just to be clear.
Took some digging around, but I've managed to get it activated.
First you'll need to sign up for Beta versions of both the Google app and Google Play Services. Once you have them installed and up-to-date you will have to visit the individual app back end to clear the data the older versions have stored on your device. Visit "Settings" then "Apps". Look for "Google App" and Google Play Services". You'll find the option to clear the data after clicking "Storage" and "Manage Space" options.
Open the "Google App" either by long pressing the home key or by visiting your app tray and pressing the icon. You'll be asked some questions. Once they are answered and the app has opened fully you can then open the menu tray on the upper left corner. You'll see "Enable Assistant" in the upper left corner. Click and follow the on screen directions. Before you know it you'll have the full version of "Google Assistant".
I'm happy to help anyone that is trying to navigate my brief guide.
Well I have done all this and while in settings it says Google Assistant is on, it is actually not the full fledged Assistant.

Alright. I'm trying to download Tapatalk from the Play Store. Every time I've tried to download it, it is giving me an error. First, it gave me an error, something like "Could not download Tapatalk Forum App" as you have not purchased it yet. Then I cleared the Play Store cache, data, uninstalled updates, and cleared everything again, and now it's giving me the error: "Download of Tapatalk Forum App declined".
Now, I have a good clue as to why it's doing this. I previously downloaded an older version of it from apktop and installed it on my phone and my nook. I'm not proud of it, and this is why I'm buying it now, I'm sick of the guilty conscious every time I use the app. But now that I do want to buy it, I can't! Any ideas anyone?
I'm not sure why you're having issues with the play store. If it eases your conscience though, Tapatalk is free through getjar. Here's the link:
http://www.getjar.com/mobile/237628...4ymld6hvifbqfomy&c=5v55005as52yb2m813&lang=en
I know it doesn't fund the developer directly, but I imagine they receive some compensation from getjar. Hope this helps.

Is this the latest version? As in the same as on the play store?
had a similar problem recently and the only solution i found - posts on the android newsgroups confirm that - is going back to the old 2.3.x market apk. to do so either "uninstall updates" in manage apps or if your /system/app/Vending.apk is 3.x then you'll have to replace that one with the 2.3.x one.
annoying, yes, but at least that works

To the best of my knowledge, all apps through getjar receive the same updates as the Play store. It should continue to be updated after installing.

LanguageInput/Voice search/OK google detection
check all the 3 boxes and say ok google 3 times, click OK.
Just for info. After enabling OK Google everywhere you cannot record any sound using voice recorder as microphone stands by for any response from Google. There needs to be a kinda white list to exclude voice recorder. Maybe "ok Google for 3rd party activity" module (already available) be helpful in such case.
The problem that I don't have the 3 boxes I have only ok google from Google search app and I tried everything even ok google everywhere method ?
Your Google now hasn't been updated to latest version yet.

Sounds like you have the latest version. From what I understand, Google is activating ok google everywhere on an acct basis so that probably means you have not been selected yet. However, there is a workaround that you can try. Open the google now app and type in "ok google everywhere" on the search bar. This apparently activates it. Personally i haven't tried this method as i was activated before this workaround was posted.
Make sure you set language to English (US) in case you're using the UK version. Otherwise it doesn't work. Weirdly.

Try this, it worked with me:
1- Open google search app
2- type in : Okay Google Everywhere
3- Hit search
4- Hit menu key and choose settings, then choose voice, then choose OK Google word detection, you should find multiple options including "Ok google from any screen"
Best of luck

To get it you should have your phone's language and Google's language set to English US. And maybe the beta for Google Play Services.
As soon as i changed the languages to US i received the assistant (can take up an hour or 2).

You have to install someone's app store (which has some questionable code in it) to get the APK for the watch. You also need to give the person $5 and your watch serial number
It may also be worth mentioning you need to follow a guide that may as well be written in Klingon unless you know how to navigate GCP inside out.
Google Assistant is not finished for WEAR OS 3.
There are some beta but nothing that really work.
Google need some times to finish the app for the new generation of wear os.
Don't fall in a trap by buying **** on internet, it will be available on your watch when google would have finished the development of his non-finished OS (that's why other smartwatch won't have WEAR OS 3 until 2022.)
I'm glad you guys dove into that a lot farther than I did. That definitely looks pretty sketchy at best!
Yeah that Telegram thread was pretty rough. I jumped in there to look and was alot of BS.

You would THINK that says it all and I use to be one of those people that thought telegram was mostly made for sketchy stuff like that, but I took the plunge into that mess and I've actually come out pretty impressed.

Just look in this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/google-assistant-on-watch-4-wear-os.4337733/
There's an APK in there.
Follow the instructions carefully and it will work.

Yes, it's the Google Assistant GO and maybe the GUI is not that nice but on the other hand you have to do anything sketchy

Given some of the sketchy code in the app, the sketchy code in the developer's store, the hoops you have to jump through to get the APK, and as much as I really want a good Google Assistant on my watch I'll be waiting for the official code.
This is a security breach waiting to happen, don't question it though, it'll get you banned.

The Galaxy Watch 4 still doesn't have Google Assistant, 3 months after launch
Samsung promised Google Assistant on the Galaxy Watch 4 when it launched it. It's been three months and that's still nowhere to be found.
www.androidauthority.com
There are regions where Samsung Pay isn't supported, and the app is therefore not preinstalled on the watch. As a result, those users are unable to use apps such as GW4Remap to remap the bottom button long-press shortcut to anything else. In order to help that group of users, I made a simple app that remaps the shortcut to Google Pay.
The app works by simply being a fake Samsung Pay app that launches Google Pay whenever it's invoked by the system through the use of the long-press shortcut. Since trying to install the app on a watch where the real Samsung Pay has been preinstalled will result in a signature mismatch, this only works on watches from regions where Samsung Pay isn't preinstalled.
Releases ยท blunden/SPayToGPay
A helper app to remap the Samsung Pay button shortcut on the GW4 to Google Pay on watches shipping without Samsung Pay - blunden/SPayToGPay
github.com
NOTE: Requires rebooting the watch after installing the app.
EDIT: Version 1.1 works with Google Wallet.
EDIT 2: Version 1.2 hides it from the recent apps menu. No other changes.
I sideload it with bugjaeger but it doesn't show up on my watch at all.
So I went through the installed packages using bugjaeger and I saw that samsung pay did install but long pressing the button doesn't do anything

When you say that Samsung Pay shows as installed, can you be more exact? Do you mean the package name or an app with that name?
Can you show me a logcat? The person on reddit testing it for me said that it worked for him but I don't know the exact details.

It's up to OS to decide when and where the shortcut works. This app just pretends to be Samsung Pay and launches Google Wallet when started.
