So, i found a method to turn our Nexus 5 into a Pixel phone and enable the Google Assistant. Read everything before doing anything!
The link to the post is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...-assistant-t3477879/post69074667#post69074667
Instructions:
Download 3 zip files linked in the post. Flash the Velvet zip through TWRP first. Next one is the edited build.prop zip. Make sure the tweak.prop is in the same folder/directory as the other 2 files!!!
The tweak.prop is not for flashing. Just keep it in the same folder. After you flashed the other two, simply reboot and go to Settings>Apps>Google App>Storage>Clear all Data. Go back to your homescreen and make sure you had now on tap activated. Press the home button longer so Now-on-Tap plays its animation and what you should get instead of Google Now is the Assistant saying Hello to you!
Known Issues:
Ok, Google recognition.
Thats it. My first thread so im open for questions.
This Method is not by me!!! Im just sharing it .All credits go to FaserF.
I'm running it on pure nexus 7.0.. Its pretty sweet. Its like the siri we never had lol. Not as wide of conversation range as siri, but I'm sure that gets updated with time.

How are you running pure nexus 7 on the nexus 5 ? I thought purenexus was discontinued for our device.

There is no fix for it, but you can automate the "skip" process with tasker. There is a post with images and another one with a text description on [this thread page](http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...ow-to-enable-google-assistant-t3477879/page40)
It works pretty well though saying "ok google" for a followup question starts the assistant over and loses it's context. Hopefully someone will get this fixed soon.

It's easy to enable google assistant using Build.prop by changing ro.product.model=Pixel XL and add this at the end:
ro.opa.eligible_device=true.
But anyway thanks for your thread

better yet, as you're rooted and if you have the latest xposed framework (v87) and xposed installer (v3.1.1) simply download and install the "assistant enabler (v3.1)" module, activate and reboot. it's much cleaner and easy to uninstall if you so choose; and "ok google" command works perfectly.
edit: xposed is not available for Android N (nougat).
the xposed module that allows for "google assistant" is on marshmallow.
i'm currently running this on cm13 latest nightly on an lg g3 d850 without any problems.

The OK Google bug is due to the Google App. Should be fixed by Google soon. Regarding your Internet app, try to use Chrome instead.

I want to but I'm waiting for the Xposed framework to be available. I want to say thank you to you for your tutorial on making the assistant work without Android N-ify. I tried that method and ran into some bad issues. I plan on dropping a donation asap.
Ever wondered how to get the new Google Assistant on your HTC One M8? Here is the ultimate answer.
What you need:
- A rooted device
- Custom ROM (Not compulsory but suggested)
- Xposed Installed (Guides online or follow the official XDA thread)
- Xposed App
Instructions:
- Go to Xposed app > 'Downloads'
- Search for Android N-ify' or just 'N-ify'
- Download and activate the module
- Congrats! You have Google Assistant, launch as normal. :fingers-crossed::laugh:
Any questions? PM me or quote me, pretty active. :good:
You forgot about Google App (Beta) and the right "n-ify" apk is not on the xposed app, you need to install manually.

here's the google+ post I followed, https://plus.google.com/+MaxRumpfAliasMaxr1998/posts/P6ehUoPNp54
basically download N-ify from https://ci.paphonb.xyz/jenkins/job/AndroidN-ify/
and google search 6.6.14.21 from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...gle-app-6-6-14-21-arm-2-android-apk-download/
and the latest version of xposed
I will point out though that it crapped out on me not long after i started messing with the header settings in N-ify and I had to remove xposed to get my phone working again

Tried the steps, but still facing that softbrick thingy. For some reason, if I install other than from xpose app, it goes to that softbrick.
Currently using exposed v86. Not sure if that's what you mean by "latest". Would want to update to the later version, but I read that I need Magisk? I can't do that because I haven't unlock my bootloader yet.

basically GA is exclusive to pixel phones and in this method we are using the official app, so hot word issue gonna exist until someone find a way to fix it.
I found a workaround for OK Google. 'ChopAssistant' Install this app, enable accessibility service, and voila. Say okay Google and Google assistant pops up.
Thanks to Daniel F Q for this app.
flashable zip works
the flashable zip method works but it has no memory. as soon as you ext the app it loses memory.
Will this trigger the assistant when the phone is dosing/locked?
How is the compatibility with the speech recognition chip that can wake/unlock your Moto with its counterpart in the pixel in general?
I hope this is not off topic.

Hello. I am still using stock rom. I've rooted my 3T and have xposed. I wanted to know if I can enable Google assistant. I tried Android N-ify and assistant enabler . Rebooted my device, cleared cache of the Google app. But I'm not getting it.
if you are rooted, add "ro.opa.eligible_device=true" to build.prop and update google app
edit: btw, i hear assistant only works on us-english now.

Can you use the OK Google detection? After I get Google assistant, OK Google is no longer available...
Hi,
i am perfectly fine with stock ROM and only one thing i would like to have beside. And it is Google phone app with capability to do search nearby places right from the phone app and the capability to see who actually calling behind unknown number.
I see some apks on apkmirror, but latest nonnexus apk is from 2016. So i rather ask here first. Do you guys tried this app and can confirm it has all the features i would like to have? Is it possible to have this app on our phone?
Do you have link to app for our device?
Thank you

How is it possible user error if it wasn't designed for Oreo? you never mentioned what os it was meant for. In any case, it did not, in fact, work for Oreo. However I did successfully use it for 7. Thanks for your work.

At first, I was saying it's an operator error because it does work. Of course it doesn't work for Oreo it clearly states the date when I pulled the framework in May. The OP was asking to use an updated dialer in stock. I provided him the framework with the ability to do so.... I wouldn't specify why because I was answering the OP.

same procedure as non rooted devices, Install as normal apk
I can confirm that it works on Moto G5 Plus (Sanders), stock rom, rooted with Magisk. Installed the dialer framework from the post by @atrac17 above, then phone apk (v.11) from here. (Play Market installation was still showing as unavailable for my device.) Then all I needed to do was to change the default phone app to google phone rather than Moto. Thanks for your help, guys. Couldn't figure it out by myself.
So freaking annoying we have to do this!.. Why on earth do we need Moto's dialer?!
