Forget sideloading, beta versions, etc. Just go into S7 settings, find General Management, go to Language and Input, then Languages and add US English. Now go to edit and DELETE EVERY OTHER LANGUAGE except US. Reboot phone. Longpress the home button and you should now have Google Assistant. Now go back to Languages and reinstall your own preferred language, and make sure it's at the top of the list. That's it!

Just the latest version.. Look at apk mirror
Got it working, thanks!
But when i switch to Swedish ( my native language ) it says Google assitant doesn't support Swedish.
Anyone got the assistant working on a language other than English?

I think you're right. If you load English US or UK as a second language and put it second in your list of languages, then maybe GA will work in English.

[23AUG] "Hacked" Play Store 3.8.17.4 (Wishlist, delta "smart" updates, gift cards)
Hey guys,
I was looking for this yesterday and I found nothing, so I decided to "hack" the Play Store apk myself.
It's just 3.8.17 Play Store with Wishlist and (US only for now) gift cards activated.
How to install (or update)
1. Make a nandroid or backup Play Store by Titanium
2. Go to Settings » Apps » All » Google Play Store, tap "Uninstall updates" (if active) and confirm
3. Download my APK, place it on /sdcard and rename to Phonesky.apk
4. In Root Explorer (or any other file explorer that uses root permissions, but don't use ES File Explorer) go to /system/app and remove Phonesky.apk
---4.1. If you see any com.android.vending-*.apk file in this directory, remove it too
5. Copy Phonesky.apk from /sdcard to /system/app
6. Reboot

If not how can I hack it to force the market to use a set dpi? Instead of reading my build.prop?

Nope. It lets you download apps unavailable in your country (they aren't shown in search results!) or for your device. It also lets you access and manage your Wishlist and gift cards.
Is that possible to free download to payable apps, can u do it?

It's impossible and illegal. Do not even ask for it.
Nice work webDeWo. Imma download this now. Funny how you hack a app that is free but not yet available now people want you to start getting apps for free. smh.
Hi, and thanks for sharing your work.
I have one question though : if I install an app while on the play store website on the PC, it will still download it to my phone with this hacked store ?
I'm sorry if I don't make any sense, English isn't my native language.

He's talking about going to play. Google. Com and installing an app from there. But Google services framework is what handles that (if I'm not mistaken)

I don't think it's possible to change the region/language of the of the play store app. It's possible on the website, but I don't think the app has a setting like that yet.

I did what you have mentioned in your first post. I have successfully changed my region to UK. But how can i revert back? how can i change back to my Local play store, i ve tried every thing( Rebooted without VPN running), Cleared cache even installed GAPPS 4.2 again but its still in UK region
Please Help!
I work for a phone store, and a customer came to me with a Verizon S5, he was looking to set it to italian, but the S5 for Verizon only allows you to change it to a few languages. I checked different variants of the S5 such as the at&t and T-Mobile and they have a lot more languages.
When it comes to the keyboard, Samsung gives you more options, but not the system language.
Is there any way to download more language packs for the Verizon S5?

Thanks. But what I meant to ask for was the system language of the phone itself. Not just the keyboard.
The Samsung keyboard allows me to switch to Italian. But the system as a whole won't.

I don't think its possible without root, I believe you have to delete the current language.xml. Or try downloading an app to change "locale settings". Never tried it this way, but if I remember correctly you can access more languages by changing the origin of the device.

Try to search "locale" in Google Play. I tried these before. They work but not 100% converted. Good luck!

I usually use Morelocale 2, but in this case , it only translated itself and nothing else.
I think its some sort of safety samsung made to mess with the importers and exporters. So the company that sells Samsung officially in a specific country will have all the customers from their country, that is ome below the belt!

Is there any other way?

I think the update is for the sm-g950U only :crying:
VPN is irrelevant IMHO. Afaik Samsung goes by your Samsung account. My Samsung account is registered to Germany and can't be changed. I don't think geographic location is relevant for the update.
Some people in beta had success with creating a new Samsung account with VPN, changing the location of the new account to US. But nothing you could change in an existing account...
Only the US released phone's are now using Bixby.. has something to do with the csc as well. I hope that we have the option later on to use it in the English language
Hey there!
I got the google assistant on my moto x style on stock rom 7.0 a few days ago and i was very happy about that
Because of some problems while rebooting the phone i was forced to factory reset my phone.
I lost google assistant...and it didn't "kick in" , i do only get google now on tap again...
Since three days i try to activate the assistant but nothing happens... I should say that i'm on updated google services and google app...
Any ideas?:crying:
Check language settings
Go to Settings > Languages and Inputs > Languages & now check if you've English (United States) as your default language for Google Assistant to work on your device.
