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.
Now that the US Virgin Island trick to avoid Google Assistant has been fixed, a module that disables Google Assistant will really help us who doesn't like it and want to use Now On Tap. Thanks!
Does google assistant enable drains our battery?

https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...ndroid-device-switch-back-google-now-0174676/ if that was the trick you were talking about I'm sorry. Best I could find. You could also remove Google Assistant voice search and Google and that should remove anything with the assistant. Or just turn the option off
That's not working unfortunately. I'm on 8.1 and had to add the lines to the build.prop, but it didn't change anything.
Second this request. You can still reach the old google voice search with a searchbar widget but I'd like it to respond to "Okay Google" and be able to map it to a button rather than the Google assistant which doesn't put answers and search results on the same page like google now.
DO this, not tested by me, but should work
1) Create a file /sbin/.core/img/.core/service.d/google_assistant_disabler.sh
2) Write the following in that
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
resetprop ro.opa.eligible_device false
3) Change its permissions to 0755, and owner:group to 0:2000
4) Reboot and use Google now instead of Google assistant
Jaymin hasn't tested.
Has anyone tried this yet?

Yes, it works. But I am using Termux, Termux-boot and sudo. Google now is back and Android Auto is working properly in my natural language right now.
Many thanks to Jaymin!
1.Is there any way to modify the fingerprint long press shortcuts?? The provided ones - qr scanner, calender and search - I never use these.
2. If that is not possible, is there any way to atleast change the search to chrome search instead of MI Browser search?
(Note: My default browser is chrome and it still leads to mi browser. I tried uninstalling MI browser and it takes me to play store - item not found page)

I want to know this too. Last I read somewhere, the option to customize it was planned to be provided in some update. But I guess, we don't have it yet.
I have removed most of the Mi apps via adb. So, I get the item not found page for all shortcut items

I think it would be possible if there was some app that could redirect activities - like for example 'if com.mibrowser.search opens open Google search instead' I don't know if it is possible but I'm just guessing based on the 'assistant shortcut app'.

I have the same problem... I mean in the end it's just a link to an apk. You could probably change that to another apk somewhere in the root files. But I don't know where you would look for that...
Hello fellow XDAers
Yesterday I received my MI9T Pro and I gotta say I'm pretty happy with it (the most annoying thing is the fingerprint scanner not working most of the times but I will try to add better my fingerprint maybe it will work out)
So I started to de-bloat apps via Fastboot and ADB (for some reason the Xiaomi java tool does not work for me, stays in looking for devices and then just freezes), so I searched a few forums and picked a few services that I thought they were unnecessary (like mi cloud, google apps like duo and facebook and some other mi apps), and now I cannot open the Recorder, Notes and also Gallery...
Message is ''Notes keeps stopping''
Again, I read on the packages list and picked on from there, I am pretty sure I didn't deleted things named like that, so I need to install those apps again but I do not know how to do it ONLY via fastboot.
Please help :crying:

Hey, make sure that before using the (Java) tool you have enabled 'Developer Options', you can do that by going to About Phone and then tapping the build number (Miui Version) a few times, then head to additional settings, developer settings and make sure that you have 'USB Debugging' enabled.

Hi all,
Anybody any idea how to install YouTube Vanced on a stock Mi11?
I've installed the manager and microg from apkmirror but can't install YouTube Vanced as still being blocked.
The previous method of disabling miui optimisations from developer options is no longer there.
.... Alternatively any other way to have YouTube with less/no ads?
Any help appreciated

If your shell can be run as root, search for ad and tracking hosts lists on the net and place them inside of your /system/etc/hosts file.
Also, you could use the app "Blockada".
Those methods will block ads and tracking systemwide, however...
Use puretuber
sorry didn't read the last bit of your question.

You might need to disable MIUI optimization in the developer options. Always work for me. Also fixes a lot of notification issues.

But the MIUI Optimization is not displayed for everyone. For some people, the entry is not there under developer options (like in my case). If you search under settings, it shows the entry but when you click on the search result, it brings you to the developer options where MIUI optimization is not displayed. Seems to be hidden.
Just wondering why for some users it is there and for others not.

Hm I see. I saw the same kind of behavior on the F2 Pro forums before. My only guess is either the region you set, or the MIUI version (globale, Europe, China).
I bought the Chinese version (with region set to France), and the option is there for me.
But yeah, if you don't have it, you either have to use another app/version of Vanced, or deal with the manual installation that requires a PC, Split APK installer and the Shizuku app (kinda a pain to install a single app, but used to do that since I really wanted it on my F2 pro).

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation. I have the global version and the region is set to Germany. The interesting thing though is that several persons bought over the same shop as I did (was a special offer) and some have MIUI displayed and others (like me) do not have it. Maybe phones coming out of different factories or different production lines may cause this.
For now, I will wait to install Vanced. I hope that MIUI 12.5 fixes those things, if not, then I will go the route via Xiaomi EU ROM.
Hello guys,
I have the mi 11 ultra china rom and i do have the option to disable miui optimizations in developer mode.
The problem is that as soon as i do that the fonts look really big and they don't resolve when tweaking the font size etc.
Do you know what are the downsides of disabling the miui optimizations from the developer mode ?
Mind you the rom is working flawlessly so far , i have all the notifications and functions ok.
Thanks !

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone outside MIUI developers will be able to say in details what MIUI optimization really does. All we have is a "global idea" and guesses from experience.
As you experienced, disabling optimization may affect the way MIUI look, mostly the default launcher and fonts. Your icons may look a bit different as well.
Some people report that disabling optimization improves their battery life, while others say the opposite. Same thing for floating windows: for most people it still work, but a few reported that the feature is no longer working while optimization is turned off.
So disabling it may or may not break MIUI-specific features, it really depends on your device from what we see.
Overall, we can't be sure what it will do on your specific device/version. You'll likely have to test by yourself.
Even though I always disable optimizations when I'm on the official ROM, just know that some developers, specifically the devs at Xiaomi.eu, recommend you to keep it on.
Thanks for the info @Eidenz , will keep it on and monitor closely the battery life as well the behavior of the aps.
So far I'm pretty amazed that everything is working flawlessly.
I'm not sure I want to switch to xiaomi.eu but will see..
As a workaround I'm using blokada with some youtube ads blocking list.
It's mostly ok but I do see the ads at the start and sometimes at the end of the video, but not the ads during the video.
Cheers !

No worries. There are even more workarounds if you're interested:
You can disable MIUI optimization to install Youtube Vanced, and then turn it back on. The app will keep working, the problem is only in the installation process.
You may also install Vanced manually using your PC by following the official tutorial: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vanced/wiki/installation
Or you may use that "Pure Tuber" app that got mentionned at the top of this post. Not as great imo, but does the job.
I found out that once I installed YouTube Vanced and enabled optimizations back, Vanced didn't want to work.
Basically it loaded but was faced with a continuous loading screen on each tab of the application.
Tried pure tuber but from what I saw it does consume a bit more power and also the navigation isn't as good as in YouTube Vanced , plus the video resizing is kinda wonky.
Hm, that's weird. I guess it got worse than it used to be on older MIUI versions (and devices).

I flashed Xiaomi EU rom and I can install YouTube Vanced via Vanced Manager now.
You can also use NewPipe:
NewPipe - a free YouTube client
newpipe.net
With my Redmi Note 10 (EU version M2101K7AG) I was able to install YTVanced after disabling the MIUI optimizations. I enabled them right away after installation and until now I haven't noticed any difference.
Then I updated the system to MIUI Global 12.0.3 and lost the possibility of disabling the optimizations in the developer options.
The only issue I notice sometimes is when opening YTVanced it keeps saying there is no internet connection. I have to go to microg settings and disable the battery optimizations for that app.
I hope that MIUI developers fix this soon cause it is so annoying having to research for workarounds just to install an apk. If I knew this before, I think I would have went with a Realmi instead.
