Google Assistant? Anyone?

Keep reading that I should receive an update to Google Play Services - not through my provider but right from Google Play. So far no dice.
Anyone else?

I got a EMUI update this morning, thinking it was laying the ground work for GA,but still no dice

I entered an extra line in build.prop and voila. but you need root for that.

Can you tell me how? I Tried to put that line in my build.prop ro.opa.eligible_device=true , but I can't save it

Are you on nougat and rooted? I used the BuildProp Editor app from the play store.
After adding the line and saving, delete cache and data of the Google App.
Reboot and you'll have the assistant.
Apparently since the last Play Services app update there is no need to edit build.prop so just try updating that and wiping Google app data.

GA for those that can't get the app to work, just install Google Allo. It's active in Allo by default

Probably wont get Google Assistant, because I live in Sweden

Yeah it was a US roll out first, and then more places.
What a lot of articles failed to mention is that only some devices are eligible, not all.
No clue what the requirements are. Only 6.0 and above.
I'm waiting until the rollout is done, and then I'm sure there will be a way to do it. Or I'll just wait to root and then do it with build.prop.
More importantly where is that damn bug fix patch from Huawei so i can finally root?

France here. Got Assistant this morning along with the b380 patch

No assistant here is the US on the LO4 variant on B360. However none of my phones or phones of people I know have gotten it. I think its going to be a slow rollout.

You can use it with any system language, but the assistant will work in English.

Oh, I read that it would only roll out to a few countries and Sweden wasn't in the list ?

France isn't on the list neither, I still got it so I think it's global.

Update: Just got the assistant here in Midwest US on lO4 variant.

I just got Google Assistant. Try to install the latest Play Services apk (you could search on ApkMirror), clear the cache of both, Google App and Play Services, and then reboot your phone. That's what I did.

I installed Allo and enable the google app(which I disabled early). The google app seem to enable google assistant system wide. Now I am figuring out how to change "OK Google" to something else...

Has anyone got Google Assistant yet?

With Google rolling out Google Assistant to all MM and higher phones, our Mate 9 should also get Google Assistant. Has anyone got it yet?

Nope

Yes. L29C567 here.
I keep getting a HiVoice error though out of nowhere on homescreen and when I'm trying to answer the phone.

Out of curiosity, how do you know when the updates done? Did something show up on the screen prompting you to activate it?

Edit.
I replied with the wrong info... So I updated to B167 and then just updated the Google app.

AzureLightPKK said:
When it finished downloading, it prompted me to perform a "quick update." Or you can go back into system update and click it manually.
Sorry I am new so I don't know how to quote.

So it was an update to the play services in the play store?

Disable "voice wakeup" in voice control setting to get rid HiVoice...
but at the same time, "OK Google" detection from any screen also not working...
unless following steps as stated at the link?
https://www.xda-developers.com/enab...ord-detection-on-huawei-honor-phones-no-root/

i have got it but i can only use it when the screen is unlocked. I have the l29 636 b158 version.

I keep checking, but nothing. I was in Denver through Friday, and in Las Vegas until tomorrow, and no luck. I'll keep trying, because I'm ADHD like that...=).

I got it... I entered Google app beta program.. have my phone on Us language. Turned on WiFi. Next day in the morning had my assistant.

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).

[W/O Root] [5.0] Enable Google Assistant on Lollipop!

Hi all​
I was just launching some activities from the Nova Launcher through which I accidentally opened the Google Assistant! With Lollipop! On a tablet!
Without much wait, Let's start
Pre-Requistites-
Latest Google App(Mine was 7.3.18.21)
An Android Lollipop or Lollipop+ Device
Nova Launcher
A Working Brain​
Let's Go!
Open Nova Launcher
Long-Press on Home Screen
Select Widgets
Click on Activities
Scroll Down till you find Google App and Click on it
Scroll down and select com.google.android.apps.gsa.staticplugins.opa.hq.OpaHqActivity
A Google Assistant icon will appear on your screen, click on it
Click on Your Stuff
Click on add reminder and then close it
Open Google App, open menu, and then Settings
There you should see Google Assistant
Your turn, teach the Assistant your voice and start playing with it
Do not even try to post a "Thanks". Press :good: button if you want to say thanks, it really helps a lot!

Credits-Me, Who else?
UPDATE​Google App's June 28th update(7.6.9 Beta) just removed the Your Stuff screen. Users who already enabled Assistant by this method have this screen. Other users with latest Google App can't enable Google Assistant by using this method. I recommend downgrading to Google App v7.3, enabling Assistant from the above method and then upgrading to latest one.
UPDATE 2​Google App 7.10 update doesn't let people use Google Assistant if they don't meet the requirements, >1.5 Gb of memory and 720p or higher screen resolution.
There's a workaround, to use Google App v7.8 till there's another workaround :silly:. I need someone to test this out as I have 2GB RAM.
UPDATE 3​Google comes to the rescue and Google Assistant is now available on devices with Android 5.0 and above!Just make sure you meet all the requirements and you're good to go.
UPDATE 4​Got Assistant working, with 7.1.2, and 1 GB RAM! Google website still states 1.5 GB RAM as a requirement. So just test, and report it here.

Frequently Added Questions
When I open the Your Stuff tab, it is empty.
Change language to English(US) and clear the cache of Google App.(Credits to @Ezekiel3)
How can I use Assistant by long-pressing the home button?
Check out this awesome app by @Jovic77 here.
When I launch the activity, it just flashes for a second and goes away.
Clear data of Google App and Play Services, and then launch the activity.
I can't see Your Stuff tab.
Downgrade to Google App v7.3 from sources such as APK Mirror. You can upgrade to latest one after enabling Google Assistant.
EditNow you can't. Only those meeting the requirements will get Assistant.​

This method is working on smartphones also.
And also working on 1GB ram and less than 720p display devices tested on lollipop and marshmallow.

When I was testing this out, I came across the blank screen issue once after it had already worked. I don't remember what I did to fix it, but after a reboot and clearing the app data...eventually it just started showing up again.

Huawei Apps Update how?

I've noticed that the Mate 9's apps aren't in the play store. It doesn't appear it has it's own Store either. How the heck do they update?

They either have the auto-update or they do not update at all.
MetroPCS has some apps installed on their Samsungs and are not present in any store. So they either update automatically, or they do not update at all.

Sigh.. I was afraid of that. Makes me want to look elsewhere when the Mate 10 comes out. I'd hate to wait for system updates just to fix bugs in messaging or even the mail app.

True, but you could also use third-party apps that you can find in Google Play instead of the default one from Huawei.

Oh for sure. I usually give the built in apps a shot because when you theme the phone, none of the non-huawei apps obviously theme and it throws the look off. I know that seems stupid, but hey. Also, I know this isn't Samsung, but have you ever tried to use 3rd party apps instead of theirs? All kinda of crap doesn't work right from the gallery to messaging and so on.

well...

I tried googling "hiapp apk" and it led me straight to Huawei's official app store where HiApp is available for download...
alternatively try to connect to HiSuite on your computer... there it would also prompt you to update the different apps when new versions become available...

HiApp is its own app store for Huawei mobiles and tablets. And you can download the package installer, . apk file, for HiApp store from official website of Huawei as below.

After using your walkthrough on YouTube I can use Google play store, however, I no longer get notifications for anything at all. Only thing I get is a few Gmail email notifications then after that nothing. It's like it fails push notifications after the first few Gmail ones it pushes.
Needless to say, an OS that doesn't push notifications on a phone is not usable. Any ideas?

I see. Well, when the notification was occurring for me, I just dragged the message to the left in the notification pane and said disable notifications. Is that not possible? Can I just disable the notification and still be able to use Google play? Like, stop the process at step 7 or 8, disable notifications on just play store issues and then let it be?

Any one knows why lz-play is not working at P40 Lite 5G?

I used to have my Google working on my Huawei perfectly, until I accidentally pressed the wrong button and all was uninstalled.
Now I had tried your method a few times. But every time I got stucked at the same part, where we were to add the Google accounts.
When I try to add the existing Google account, it always show Google connection error. Cannot connect to Google server. I tried restarting and force stopping or anything, I still cannot go pass this step. Cannot add Google account.
Can somebody tell me or teach me? If anyone had this problem and had solved it.
Tolong tolong

Sorry if it was explained elsewhere, but I really couldn't find it:
I managed to install GMS. Is there anything I should avoid (other than deleting google account or reseting the phone) to keep it running?
For example:
- Can I safely update any apps or services or will updating a Google Store or something mess everything up?
- Are there any apps I should avoid, eg. some security, system management or antivirus apps?

Yes many apk notifications doesent work. Stopping google framework and reboot phone will enable notifications back but u cant use play store. So use aurora.

Hi firlando, Could you please share how to install GMS for huawei nova 7 se

Yes
Apps which is dependency Google Maps will not work. ]
