I have the No Limits Marshmallow ROM on a G900W8 in Canada. It's closely based on stock. I keep reading about Google Assistant replacing the current search coming to Marshmallow and Nougat. So how do we get that? I hear it's a pretty cool feature. Will it simply be a Play Store update to Google Search?
Thanks all

It'll probably get it, the feature is being rolled out to Marshmallow and Nougat devices through a Google Play Services update and will replace Now on Tap

I have a I545 verizon galaxy s4 and am thinking about throwing the google play edition version 4.4.4 on. However with 5.0 lollipop around the corner I wanted to make sure I could do an ota update easily since I am not very knowledgeable about performing updates myself. Anybody know if it will work as a ota update?
Never
@feraay is right. All the Google Edition ROMs available have been "tweaked", in order to make them work properly with the different variations of the Galaxy S4. So while you might be able to download the actual OTA update, it will not work properly with your device.
Though, installing updates manually is not particularly hard. You can use Titanium Backup to save your apps, and then download the update yourself once it's available for your S4 edition. That said, you might as well then just wait until 5.0 is out.
thanks and that makes sense. Shouldn't be too long from now for it to arrive. Unfortunately I have been hit with a terrible verizon update that makes my phone restart all the time and want to root and flash it, but with 5.0 coming out so soon I would rather do it once so i'll wait
So I rebuilt my NP today and wasn't quick enough to disable auto-update in the Play Store and "Google Apps for Android TV" updates itself.
For those in the know, this update breaks voice search for every language other then English US.
Is there a way to rollback this app? I can't find it in Apps. I really don't want to have to go though all hopes to set it up from scratch again.
Running rooted stock 5.1.1.
Flashed Nougat to my SM-A510FD with ODIN and noticed I'm back to Google Now, which isn't a bad thing per se (more capable still than Assistant) but I kind of miss my new friend. Is it just me? Ran all updates on Play Store, Samsung has no more updates for me, can't seem to get Google Assistant back?!
Add this in build.prop to get google assistant: ro.opa.eligible_device=true

Thank you. I was hoping though to not have to root, for once, so I can get the OTA security patches which stop once you go TWRP. Was Google not rolling out to all devices by now?
Found it! Change language to English (US) , not UK, and clear Google App cache from App Manager, aaand it's back....

Did it set the knox counter to 0x1? I want to install it too but I'm concerned because I don't want to trip the knox counter. I have the phone for about 2 weeks and I don't want to completely mess it up.
I am using the Chinese variant of the MATE 9. It's happily running Oreo & Google APPS for quite some time now. I travel a lot and change my "HiCare region" to whatever region I'm working in. I was NOT offered android nine until I changed my region to China even though I've been physically in 6 Countries in Asia with this phone.
Has anyone done the OTA update with a situation similar to mine. While I want to try Android Pie (9) I don't want to mess up my smooth running machine & Google apps that I have now.
Thank you in advance for any input.
yes, the problem will be

after updating mha-al00 to version 9.0.1.150, google play disappeared from applications, and I haven't figured out how to restore it. GMSinstaller, at least the version I have, stopped working.
Problem solved
To restore google play u need to switching the region to China in appgalery, searching the google play store and updating it. All other google services work fine.
Thanks
Thank you. This is helpful info...and something I was worried about. Per HiCare, I'm being offered version
9.0.1.160
Haven't pulled the trigger...not sure I want to mess with the Google runaround.

Vitek777 or others...
Could you please list the specific steps you took To get google apps functional on a Chinese MATE 9 that was recently upgraded to EMUI 9?
-Did you have to delete your existing google store or other Google apps?
– Did you have to work with GMS installer?
Making this switch to EMUI 9 and trying to install Google apps on the China version is very temperamental. Please provide more very specific details on the steps involved. Thank you for your understanding.
I am not in mainland China now… So VPN service should not be necessary.

After upgrade from my mha-al00 to emui 9 outside of China, only one application was lost - Google Play Market. All other Google apps continued to function normally.
Running the GMS Installer did not solve the problem - he asked to uninstall all Google applications, but could not uninstall Google Play Services and stopped at this point with an error.
Manual stopping Google Play Services did not solve the problem - GMS installer still refused to work, indicating the same error.
I had to restore Google Play Services to reset the settings of the applications, because after a manual stop it was not possible to start it manually.
Next, in order to install the Google Play Market, I went to AppManager, switched the country to China in it (in my country, the Play Market is not visible in the AppManager application list), then did a Google Play Market search and installed it. The rest of the necessary Google applications, I reinstalled already from the Google Play Market.
YIKES !!
Thank you for your step by step directions to restore Google Apps after EMUI 9 upgrade.
After all the trouble getting Google to work again.....was the upgrade to EMUI 9 worth it? Wow...seems like quite a lot of work if the upgrade from EMUI 8 to 9 was not worth it...
Do you recommend the upgrade to 9?
My model is xt1641 but... i want performance and that can degrade google play service v12.6.85 :crying:
What firmware are you interested in, stock Motorola firmware or custom ROM firmware? Also, why do you wish to downgrade your Google Play services - what are your main issues with versions later than v12.6.85?
