Enable Google Assistant on N5

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.

Weird bug: Every time i say "OK Google" it wants to relearn my voice. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

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.

[APP] Google Assistant on HTC One M8!

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.

How did you do it? I've kept trying to get N-ify working on viper too, but somehow can't tried to install the nightlies, but my phone had a softbrick or some sorts after restarting the phone.

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.

Google assistant on stock rom.

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.

When I flashed the CM 14.1 (and did the required tinkering with build prop editor), it was working well for me even with English-India.

I'm on marshmallow. It'll still work? Also, where in the build prop editor should I put this code?
Thanks.

Doesn't work with me here
Already add the line and clear the Google data but no luck here..
Please enlighten me

Google phone/dialer app for Moto G5+

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

I pulled this from OpenGapps. Flash the following Google dialer framework in TWRP and install it from the playstore... All the features work for me.

Possible operator error. Also, this isn't designed for Oreo to begin with.

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?!

Xposed Oreo

Hi guys,
Unlike on nougat, Xposed installs and works just fine on 8.1.
Install zip in twrp. It takes a while to reboot. Install apk, open app. It says not activated. Reboot.
Once done, you can download the modules. Granted only a few work, it's still better than nothing. I have greenify and double tap status bar to sleep working.
You can search Oreo in the download section for the mods that work on Oreo.
Waiting and hoping for gravity box Oreo.
Download arm64 zip and apk. Cheers.

Tried it today. YouTube fc unfortunately. Just uninstall the module. I've been using the arter97 youtube installer. An ad slips in once in a while. Just switch to another video and come back to it. Ad will be gone.

Old module or the one developer is reviving? I have no idea about the revival one but old one working on my 6p. You could try the option in gravity box Oreo.
