F.A.Q.
What languages are supported by Google Assistant?
Only English and German for now.
I'm still having Google Now, what can I do?
Go to the Google app info and wipe its data.
Now my phone model is Pixel or Pixel XL, is this a problem?
Maybe. Some manufacturers uses the build.prop data to offer their apps and updates on Google Play, so you can have problems updating those apps. Nexus owners won't have any problem.
My camera is crashing!
Restore your build.prop and use the new method.
The "Ok Google" hotword doesn't work!
Works only on Nexus stock ROMs.
What about Android Marshmallow?

Would this have an effect on OTA updates?

Question, what have you tested what happens when you revert the build.prop after getting assistant to work?

IF you revert the build.prop the Google Assistant will be replaced with Google Now on Tap.

Okay in that case better to just use magisk, going to make a module real quick.

Replaced my build.prop with your and it did nothing but add a Vendor error on startup and a Voice icon on the Pixel launcher for my 6P. What'd I do wrong? Running latest Google app and OctOS ROM

Please tell us when you're done with that.

Glad to know I'm not the only one lol... Didn't get the vendor error before either.

The assistant is working, but Im getting soft reboots when I use it. Nexus 6 running Pure Nexus Nougat.

you can't edit the build prop without root.
Editing build prop requires root access

Google Camera is force closing as well... Can someone upload a stock Nexus 6P build prop?

Did all the changes on a OnePlus 3 and nothing happened

I'd at least inform people in the OP some of the issues people are facing

No change for my N6p with 6.6.14 apk.

[Guide] [Easy] THE G-Pixel experience! (Cyanogenmod 14 | Google Assistant | MORE)

Hello!
I was feeling helpful today so I decided to create a Guide on how to make your Oneplus X as similar as possible to the new Google Pixel phones, software wise.
So here we go:
Requirements
Code:
[LIST=1]
[*]Oneplus X (You never know)
[*][URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-update-bootloader-firmware-to-t3478917"][B]New Bootloader[/B][/URL]
[*][URL="https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-onyx-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-custom-recovery-root-take-efs-backup-more.401713/"]Unlocked Bootloader[/URL]
[*][URL="https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-onyx-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-custom-recovery-root-take-efs-backup-more.401713/"]custom recovery installed (I'll be using TWRP)[/URL]
[*]minimal tech savyness
[*][I]SD Card (Optional but RECOMMENDED)[/I]
[/LIST]
Step 1erforming a backup of Data
I would recommend you backed up your data because this process WILL wipe it.
Here is a guide on how to backup your device
Step 2: Downloading ZIPs
Okay, so here is the annoying part, downloading the actual ZIPs that we're going to be installing on your device. I'll do the hard part, finding all the links
Rom: Recommended version
If you are using my recommended version (first link) please make sure you have updated your bootloader to the latest version.
Google Apps (Play Store etc): http://opengapps.org/
Please check these boxes for the best experience: arm | 7.1 | nano
SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
Google Assistant: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69074667&postcount=112"
Please download all three files provided in the download page
*Optional* Google Launcher / Dialer / Bootanimation / Ringtones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/google-pixel-experience-launcher-dialer-t3478907
After you downloaded those files, please move them to your SD CARD. If you don't have one, just move them as far as possible upwards.
Step 3: Booting into custom recovery
This is probably the easiest step, simply power off the Device and perform the following action:
Long press the POWER BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN BUTTON until you arrive into recovery.
Step 4:Wiping everything
Unfortunately, because we are installing a new ROM, we can't keep all our data because it would conflict with the new version.
On the GUI of your chosen recovery, find the WIPE option and wipe System and Data. Make sure you don't wipe the place where you downloaded the ZIPs and where you may have backed up your device.
Step 5:Installing ZIPs
Navigate to the "Install" section on your Custom Recovery and "flash" one by ALL the Zips we downloaded. Please follow this order:
Code:
[LIST=1]
[*] Rom | Cyanogenmod 14
[*] SuperSU
[*] Google Apps
[*]The all-in-one ZIP that includes Google Launcher / Dialer / Boot animation / Ringtones
[*] Google Assistant
[I]If you are not sure about a ZIP, I would invite you to look at the forum thread's steps.[/I]
[/LIST]
Step 6:Done!
There you go! You have completed the installation process. You should be able to boot up the device and restore the backup. If you have problems. I'd invite you to look at the replies and if you can't find anything there, feel free to ask me.
Code:
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated in any way with the geniuses who created those ZIP files.
I am merely trying to be helpful to the average user who is not very knowing in this field.
I would also like to say that I am not responsible for anything that could happen to your phone.
Your phone could be blow up* and start World War 3, that wouldn't be my problem.
[I]*It shouldn't though.[/I]

As of 18-01-17 this thread is outdated but should work
Will update it and remove this message as soon as possible.

So for your opion better pixel luncher or cyanogenmod? In your Oneplus X the luncher or Google Assistant have bugs?
Edit: you need to rewrite everything because in the mobile version is all a mess.

Looks great on my mobile browser thanks for this. Will give it a go when I have time. Side note this doesn't require certain Google app version?

Guide works perfect ! Except the boot animation scaled incorrectly (not your problem)
Flashing this boot animation correctly scaled for me https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1ei1NyHKTpuSGhyYTNhRGxVVWc/view

Would this work on Exodus 6.0 Rom? Or any other ROM except for CM?

Thanks for sharing this !
Great to see the community coming up with hacks and mods for us with an old chipset!
Additionally you can try the Live Pixel Wallpapers back-ported to ARM & 6.0 by another developer.

Any time I try to use Assistant from "Ok Google" keyword, it asks me to retrain my voice - have you noticed this ?
The bodge fix workaround is to use Tasker + AutoInput to always click "Later" when it asks you to retrain and it takes you straight to the assistant.
I'd be interested to hear whether you had a similar issue

Exodus 6.0 is Marshmallow.
The guide recommends CM14 because it's based on Nougat. The guide will mostly work on the other Nougat based ROMs too but not M based ROMs

Thank you for answering I'll try this with CM14 until Exodus 7.0 comes out!

Best nougat Rom , With ColorOS Camera.

Hello friends, I have been looking for some rom with the possibility of using ColorOS camera with its plugins.
I have been watching and reading several posts where some roms are discussed, where you can use ColorOS camera.
I would like to know if you know some Rom Nougat with good development where you can use it.
I currently have cm14.1 25/12 the last update and the camera works partially, the plugins do not
Thank you very much
Sorry for my english (google translate (K))

I tried on Nitrogen Os,got fc.
I hope someone who tried on other N ROMs could help us.

Also on Resurrection Remix
Camera open and no problem but plugins can't work
On Omni Rom they said it's support ColorOs but I didn't try it yet

try Darkobas 7.1.1 it has color os cam
link : here

ColorOS camera sadly does not work perfectly with Nougat.
I use-
[ROM][OFFICIAL][7.1.1_r6][BACON][OPTIMIZED]RESURRECTION REMIX [5.8.0]
&
[UPDATE][MOD]CameraNextMod[Based on Cyanogen OS 13 CameraNext](Denoise Feature)

Do you use it as a daily driver? I'm backing everyting up to make the switch from CM due to obvious reasons but I want to make sure I'm picking the most stable rom out there that's also 7.1

Currently using Nitrogen OS (2017/01/08), 4.0.1.c7-00013 firmware, reporting zero issues with ColorOS 2.67+camera+change.zip flash. I do not flash the CM_HAL_MOD.zip.
Hope that helps!

Ok one more question. When I flash the rom, will it be pre-rooted, or will it give me the option to do so. I personally don't want a active root on it due to certain apps I use that automatically don't work if the phone is rooted.

Sorry but probably last question. Which GAPPS should I go for to also get full functionality like the Google assistant and such. So far I tried flashing the ARM Stock but it seems to get an error and not install. Something about insufficient storage in the System Partition.

Mini is the maximum size of Gapps I guess supported by this ROM. After flashing just install 'get assistant' app from play store for Google assistant, I think in the next build the ROM has out of box Google assistant so need for a hack.

So I got the GAPPS installed. Getting a smaller version worked just fine. But I still have an issue with the iSu program. I got the apk and I installed that, but disabling Root in the app still didn't allow me to launch my app. I tried reading through the instructions but they aren't very clear, more specifically if i should also disable SELinux and what those zip files are and how to install them which are the: iSu_kernel_Reboot_Support_V_2_x_and_up_Enforcing
iSu_kernel_Reboot_Support_V_2_x_and_up_Permissive

Almost All Redmi 2 ROMs have Google assistant built into it.Flash Nano Gapps or bigger one to get it to work.
You can use Aroma Gapps to get all apps like Google Camera, Google Dialer,Google Contacts and all the ****
if you any thing more,the apps are avaialble at XDA
The Latest AICP nightlies have the Pixel Home Button Animation too if you want ust flash a build after 24 November.

@NR173 dude, if you wanna a built in google assistant, you need to download any custom ROM you want (like LinOS 14.1, recommended), and then download opengapps aroma. It will give you an option to install google Assistant. Do a clean install first!
