I installed Allo, having been told that Google Assistant will come with it. I have a OP3T
After downloading it seems nothing more than Google Now?? Is there something else I need to do
I would really appreciate any help you can give
Hi @eric0668
Allo will allow you to use the google assistant only within the application it self. If you would like google assistant instead of google now then there are different ways to do that.
Thanks H3rnand3zz
In spite of the number of posts I am really a newbie.
1. So even when I open Allo, it seems no different than Google Now
2. Could you help me get it working like it does on the Pixel [Non root]. I had the Pixel and really liked Google Assistant
Thanks Again

Sure no problem... So for the first question. You have to send Google assistant a message. So on the bottom right corner of the Convo list click new message icon and chose Google assistant.
2nd question download this app.... It works perfect and will give you Google assistant but you need root.

Unfortunately, you cannot get Google Assistant to work in the same way as it does on the Pixel without rooting. Downloading Allo does not activate Google Assistant through your Google app, it simply lets use it server-side. To enable true Google Assistant, either root or wait a few weeks. Google has stated that they are officially releasing Assistant on all phones with Android 6.0+ "soon".

You can use Freedom OS. There's google assistant which I'm using. You just need to select it in the Aroma Installer.
Hello guys.
I've been thinking about that quite long time, but I could not just give up on Google straight away.
I relay on my privacy and I don't want Google to store any data about what I'm doing and make give myself more privacy. And also better Battery life and sot on one charge.
I know, I still can be easily located bla bla bla. But I think it's a good step, better than non.
I'm already using duckduckgo search browser and I need to say that I don't miss Google at all, I was surprised how good it is.
Instead of Google maps I will use Nokia Here, it seems to be quite good choice.
I found out that Nova launcher works without Google service framework.
And... F-Droid will be as a my "Google play Store".
But first I need to flash good rom, so which OS rom will be the best with some useful preinstaled appsand and which will support xposed of course, so it needs to be Android 6.
Thank you.
Edit:
Just realised that I posted in wrong section. This post can be deleted.
Posting that to different forums wont help you any further. There is only ONE Android version you might find what you ask for and that https://www.replicant.us/ which is badly outdated due to the fact that they dont even allow binary blobs in there. So whatever you do, you have Google, Apple or Microsoft havin access to your data. It's dangerous to go alone... Choose wisely ^^
i remember the people at CM said that once, they wanted to make a google free android...look where they are now
now, i understand the privacy argument, but my friend it goes too deep for you to try and use outdated OS for it...
sites have different levels of tracking, apps you install even those that don't rely on google services still at some level do, and mostly will be collected by google as long as you're using Android,
so you can do all 3 while using google services, preserve battery, minimize(and not entirely eliminate) privacy concerns, and have an updated OS... if you're going to spend the time to get rid of google, that time will be more fruitful spent just immuning your normal android...
use adblocks, VPN, Encrypt your device and possibly your connection with VPN, and through google define or disable most of what google uses to mine data...the chances on your ISP leaking your info is more than that of Googles (or Apple...etc) under normal circumstance) , apple even set a 1st when they refused to decrypt a phone for the FBI>>>so i'd suggest to get an updated nice rom , if it's custom flash the minimal GAPPs (Pico) , spend sometime on google privacy and security pages going thoroughly through them and disabling everything, do the same on Google option on your device, install a free VPN (or a good paid one if you can afford it which will provide encrypted Connection) , you'll have root, so debloat your rom as much as possible, read a little about wakelocks and alarms and disable them reasonably, get a good Kernel that has that in mind...and you'r set , and i bet you you'll leak less data than if just removed Google services...
that said, most custom roms comes without GAPPS (google apps and services) installed, so as an example, if you flashed the latest Sultan's CM 13 you'll get what you're asking for, an android 6.0.1 rom, no gapps, good camera , great Kernel...etc (no root as well, so you'll need to flash root if you want it)
This may seem oversimplified, but isn't Hydrogen OS directly from OnePlus pretty much google free?
MicroG is a great project for you to look into then: https://microg.org/

Please never install a free VPN service. They're free for a reason and that reason is to sell your data. Most free VPN services just relocate you and don't even encrypt the connection.
i use color os in my redmi note 4x without google services. you can port color os to our device and enjoy google-less phone
i think chinese developer miui roms are google free.
Hi
I hope I am in the right place as I have tried various other forums.
I realize that this could be very technical, but willing to give it a try, as I am nowhere near any place that could help me.
I need to install ALL google services on a chinese tablet (samsung GT-N5100) AKA Galaxy note 8. I have tried a lot of APK's but have been unsuccessful.
I know it runs Android 4.1.2, ARM architecture, and 190 dpi screen.
I seem to have installed google services framework 4.1.3 - 509230, but not sure if it is doing anything as there is no services or playstore.
I have been able to download and install Google chrome and it works 100%
I also tried adding my device on my google account, but because there is no google services, I do not have a "google"account option in "add account"
Anyone that could please assist?

Today I also tried installing GMS Core APK and managed to install APTOID. through that app I could also install google services and playstore......but they dont work
Still waiting for someone to help me with a solution.
Hi all...I have a little big problem...
Yesterday I started to remove the applications that come by default in MIUI and can not be uninstalled...I did it using MTKdroidTools. The fact is that I started to delete Apps like a crazy man and now I find a problem...I do not know what I uninstalled and what not, but now Google Pay does not work for me. The App is apparently perfect, but when I try to pay it's as if it doesn't work. It's not NFC because I try with other App Bank and I can make payments, but with Google Pay (in which I have another card) does not work. It's as if it didn't detect that the mobile wants to pay.
Do you have any idea what service or app I could uninstall that doesn't work?
The truth is that I don't have the slightest idea what it might have been...
I suppose that if I don't find a solution I will have to restore the phone from the factory...I hope that way all the services and default applications will be reinstalled. I don't have my phone rooted and the bootloader is lock.
Greetings and thanks.
Use HCE Wallet as payment method. If you use eu rom reflash it without delete nothing, it will work
Hello,
I just discovered my OP10 Pro running OOS 12 does not support Google Assistant Driving Mode. Does anyone here know if that's the long term plan or is there a plan to support it eventually -- or any other details?
I used Android Auto a lot with my old phone and it worked well for me. I can't use it anymore because my car does not support Android Auto and the Android Auto app now only works with cars, not as a phone app.
Try sideloading the latest Google services Beta + the Google search beta. Once installed, reboot your phone.
Launching the Assistant with thr vocal command "Hey Google, Driving mode" should enable it.
Thanks for the suggestion, @dexlemaffo. I may try sideloading at some point if I can convince myself that doing so isn't over my novice head.
Right now, I'm really interested to understand why OnePlus decided not to support this functionality. Does it not play nice with their hardware or with OxygenOS? If that's the case, then I probably won't try sideloading. If it does play nice, I'm really confused why they don't support it out of the box. I find that lots of times, people here are familiar with "inside baseball" insights like this.
Again, thanks for the suggestion.

I have done that and it does nothing. All it opens is a mode that just keeps maps open but is not the new assistant driving mode.
