Latest G5 update adds Google Assistant. - LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion

Just a FYI kind of thread.
(I know that v20c-sea-xx has it already)

Nope. Google updates its Google Play framework in order to install Google Assistant, but it has nothing to do with an LG update. 20C is out since a few monthes already, by the way.

Does actually anyone have Google assistant on unrooted/locked bootloader LG G5 on nougat v20a EUR? I've got all the services updated and even beta versions and still don't have Google assistant here in the UK. Tried changing the language into the English US but still nothing.

I've had this version of play service for good 2-3 weeks now and still nothing. When you say reset my phone you mean to do factory reset? I'm certainly not doing that just to get Google assistant lol.

All I know is the user got an update from LG , and his version is the version I stated. I did not mean that he installed 20C.

Then that guy is privileged because no update more recent than 20C has leaked yet. Anyway, everything is possible, a new update would be welcome, talking about security.
You can easily get Google Assistant by flashing the (non LG) FluenceUHD patch, letting Google Framework think you have a Pixel instead of a G5.

I don't know about this but we can wait. LG have said that they will unlock bootloader after 7.0 update.
Downloading right now. FINALLY!
Edit:
Lets see how this runs. It definitely feels different.

Source?
I've been told that the G5 now supports themes on the nougat update. Anyone wanna try my theme i made and confirm that it's working?
To see a full post about it check this link:

You can see screenshots and change log there.
It's kinda odd the source hasn't been posted nor has Sprint update their updates page. I still installed it. Not sure what I think yet.....I know I hate the menu from holding the recent app button is gone. And I hate they are now using the google emojis. Liked the LG ones much better. Themes do work or least the ones included. the default and two others. They do turn the system menus black. w00t w00t
How do you download it ?

will be possible now to remove the bloatware?
Just installed it. Not thrilled that they moved the clear all apps button to the top of the page screen. Also the lock screen looks weird. All stuff I'm sure I'll get used to. Except for the clear all button. That's some mad bs.
I like it so far. It seems smoother and more responsive.

I see no issues at all. It's working on my girlfriends G5 just as it does on my V20. We traded devices since yesterday and I haven't found an issue yet.

Nope, but if the bootloader unlock rumor is true. Root will allow us to do so.
I love the update so far. I made a small album with some screenshots showing some of the new features: http://imgur.com/a/6H1us

Are you trying to update the firmware or LG software? Just curious because it's a LG software update.

Really ? I thought i will get the update through candy crush game

I haven't received Google Assistant yet.

Okay, so you might have seen plenty of these posts but I don't know why I haven't received it yet. Phones in my region have gotten it yet I haven't. Here is some info that might help. My phone is updated to Android 7.0 and has Google Play Services 10.2.98 and the Google App is updated with the current version. So, I don't know why I don't have it yet. Thank you by the way.
The rollout is Google Account based so you will get it sooner or later. You might want to update to 10.2.99 Play Services, try a soft reset and/or accessing Google settings which may trigger it (as far as I heard).
Maybe you should update to
Google Play services 10.5.37 beta
wont let me install latest version

Do you have to be rooted? When ever i try to install the updated apk it says "app not installed" Package appears to be corrupt. WTF? Any help would be much appreciated.
Nope, no root needed.

Updated play services to that beta build a few weeks back, I'm still waiting for Google assistant to be enabled on my S7 edge. Been using the assistant on my s4 for a few months though with a custom nougat rom and I like it.

I saw that. Used the function to check compatibility and said no so I moved on.
I tried to install with firmware finder proxy and it went through it all then said failed and left me with old version. Glad it didn't work out so at least I have Bluetooth. Hopefully this means we are getting closer to an official version for the US.

I have other issues too. Please ignore until fixed.

Oh Ok. Thanks!
Whoever downloads it needs to be sure that their phone hasn't been altered. If so, it will break their phone. That's what happened to me and now I am trying to figure out a way to get it working again.
I can not go into the pick up and install ROM. I have an unofficial firmware and with the combination of vol + and power does nothing. please help
It's a matter of timing. I had to try it several times until I got the timing right.

Weird. Mine is as well and the update screwed it up. Had to re-flash the phone.

The version number is 00CN_3_170 and the security patch is dated April 1, 2017
Can I use your update.zip to update my phone?

Why would you want to update to this July version?
I guess you must be already having Google Play Services and Google Play Store installed in your phone?
The July update is basically for users without Google Play Services and Play Store.
After installing this ROM you will have to download Play Store APK and install manually.

Neck. I have all the services of google plays ... i heard July bug fixes in Camera and language so i want to update.
Key for me is to get the power on pin security setting I believe came with may update... I am still on April security patch with play services installed... But never getting updates. Hoping the update would also get the pin option and latest updates should start downloading in the future. Is this not the case?

I think you should wait for the OTA update. Anyway there's no procedure given how to update this ROM manually?
I also have the same ROM as yours.

Is the new "Messages for web" feature showing up for you guys?

I just received the new update for the Messages app. But the Drop down list doesn't seem to contain the "Messages for web" option on it.
Both my Nokia 6 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge are running this exact same new version on em'. But they do have this option. What's happening? Am I the only one who is having this issue?

Are you running a custom ROM? The people who have replied to say they have it have all said they have stock, don't know yours.
According to this it is being released by handset which would explain why a custom ROM can't get it yet and would also make sense why an AndroidOne Rom would be first.
https://www.androidcentral.com/youre-not-only-one-who-doesnt-have-android-messages-web-client-yet
Also check your Play Store and see if you are certified, this could also be a reason Google have decided not to push it to you yet, actually that would make sense for the rollout.

See me edit above, next thing is to see if you are certified in Play Store, for some reason Google are not pushing it to your phone yet and I can only think it's not certified (check play store(hamburger>settings>last entry)) or not passing safetynet (an app can check this).

You are right. Play store says the device is certified. But safety net check fails. I don't even have magisk. How can I fix this?

Is your bootloader still unlocked, this will trigger safetynet but don't just lock it or your data will be wiped!
safetynet being tripped will stop you getting a lot of apps unfortunately.
