No Google Assistant on Nexus 6P w/ Oreo (October Security Patch)

Hey,
I'm wondering if anybody can help me figure out why I'm still getting Google Now On Tap when I long-press my home button... My Details:
Phone: 32 Gb Nexus 6P (Rooted)
Android Version: 8.0.0 (OPR5.170623.007, Oct 2017)
Google App Version: 7.13.22.21.arm64
Not sure what other info to include here, but if there's something else that could be effecting this, let me know and I'll provide the info.
Thanks for any help!

Was it working before and then stopped? Did you recently update your phone? Do you have Google Launcher installed? Language still set to English(US)? Try going through this.

I'm not 100% sure... I did a clean flash when the 8.0 September image was released and then dirty flashed October on top of it... I didn't think to look between, sorry.

I seem to qualify according to this site, but still no GA.

Just done the October security patch update on mine and Google Assistant and long home press to launch is still working fine.
Try going in and switching off google assistant and then turning it back on may help.

How do you do that? Sorry to ask such a basic question, but the only way I know how to do that is through Google Now settings, and the menu item that I'm thinking should be there ('Google Assistant') isn't.

That's why I referenced that in my reply.... when I go there, it takes me to the same menu as the Google Now settings menu, and there's no "Phone" or "Google Assistant" options.

Opps missed out a step
Settings - Google - Search - Settings - Phone
I am exactly the same build number and security patch version and it is showing there for me.

So your menu doesn't start with Google Assistant at the top, with Settings directly below? What is at the very top of your Google Now Settings?

What's your root method? This happened to me once before also. I was rooted with Magisk so I installed the add GA module. Quick and easy and it was back. If you are rooted with SuperSU then I would recommend uninstalling it with the uninstaller zip found in the SU thread. Alternatively you can install Magisk over the top of it but all the features like Magisk hide may not work. Another option would be to flash a different Rom. Nitrogen and Cortex are both good options and GA should work by default.

Rom Toolbox may be running into a conflict with the Pixel Launcher you flashed. I have a similar root and pixel launcher setup minus fonts and other customizations and my shortcut to RT widgets is broken as it will not create the shortcut on the home screen. I haven't had the time to investigate, but it isn't a high priority for me.
Have you tried a clean flash of the October rom?
- Wipe data/dalvik/cache
- flash your various stock rom images (bootloader, radio, boot, system, vendor)
- flash your root method
- flash pixel launcher and reboot into system.
- Setup phone, G Assist, etc.
- Install Rom Toolbox and desired mods
Lengthy process, but it may be worthwhile to contact JRummy, the author of the Pixel launcher, and sending various logs for analysis and help...

hello did you try to clear cache and data from the google app and reboot? that helped me.

I use Chainfire's systemless root method. I've had GA with this root method before... I'll research Magisk (I've read a little about it, but not enough to be comfortable to jump into it yet) if I'm not able to find another solution. Thank you for your suggestion.

8.1 Dev Preview

So Bullhead lives on. Google has released 8.1 Dev Preview with final release planned for December...
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-8-1-oreo-developer-preview-1/
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/1...loper-preview-final-release-planned-december/
Changelog below.
https://www.droid-life.com/2017/10/25/android-8-1-developer-preview-changelog/
Most interesting part for our 2 GB RAM device.
Improved Targeting for Low-RAM Devices
Android 8.1 (API level 27) adds two new hardware-feature constants, FEATURE_RAM_LOW and FEATURE_RAM_NORMAL, to Package Manager. These constants allow you target the distribution of your apps and APK splits to normal- or low-RAM devices.
These constants enable the Play store to promote a better user experience by highlighting apps especially well-suited to the capabilities of a given device.

has anyone tried it already? root works? magisk? thanks!

I'm running it now and I can verify that magisk 14.3 works to root 8.1

How's performance so far for those running it?

Good to hear. Might give it a whirl soon, but I'm waiting to see if there are any reports of sluggishness/lag, etc. Hopefully the battery is just as good. I actually get more battery on Oreo than Nougat, which is wild

I have also got more battery on Oreo. That's how it's supposed to be as per Google.

Did anyone get an OTA ? I'm still enrolled in the Android O beta program but got nothing so far.

So I'm on 8.0.0, do I just need to flash the dev preview via twrp or adb? I don't want to loose root and all my data.

Tell me in Dev. Prev. on nexus 5x is there pixel launcher, or is still the nexus?
Im using pixel rom, and i love the new pixel launcher

Just flashed the system.img from Pixel 2 XL (OPM2.171026.006.C1, Jun 2018) to my PH-1

Everything seems to work, with the exception of the camera...I knew that wasn't going to work.
With that said...Is there anyone out there that has not only the knowledge, but the time as well to help to get either Gcam or essential cam working with this image? I've already tried the Gcam ports, none of them work.
Thanks
Getting the gcam to work, would be the true pixel experience.

I'm actually surprised that went as well as it did honestly.

Actually, with your help on the "DIY GCAM Module V2" and the "MGC_2.7.010_MI6_1.3" from the Google camera port from BSG I was able to get an older camera app to work. All of the others from Gcam port crash.
I haven't tried installing any from the playstore.
Edit- I just installed open camera from the playstore with success.

I started with a fresh install of the essential June firmware, flashed system image from Pixel 2 xl June release. After flashing I entered stock recovery and did a wipe. Reboot.

Can't help but wonder if the Android p system image would work

I bet it would.

What exactly did you flash? Just the system image? This is definitely exciting....

i cant get the system image to boot on a clean or dirty flash, and the android p system image flashes and boots but wifi and pixel launcher force close (clean flash as well) and where im on sprint, the activation fails so i have no mobile service...and clues?

I feel like we could be on the verge of something awesome

This is about all the help I can offer. Maybe someone with more experience can help you.
The project treble idea imo is fantastic! I have been running this for about 18 hours now and haven't had any issue.

How awesome would it be to turn this phone into a pixel software wise talk about development and easy modifications

So.e5hing would need done about Sprint activation...for whatever reason, spring dont want to activate using pixel software...trying to find some kind of work around

So has anyone not on sprint tried Android P?

(GUIDE) Move status bar click to the centre -Xposed

NOTE** After a week of using edexposed it was evident that my battery life suffered, as such please be aware of this trade off, for me it's simply not worth it but please read on if you're fine with it.. you'll still get a day but the difference is clear.
Xposed - Gravity box
Pre- requisites
Unlocked bootloader
Rooted
Magisk installed.
Process
------------
Download this: https://github.com/RikkaApps/Riru/releases
Install it using magisk
Reboot
Download this: https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdX...6.2/EdXposed-YAHFA-v0.4.6.2.4529.-release.zip
Also install it using magisk.
Reboot
Open xposed and update to the full version.
Reboot
Download this: https://github.com/GravityBox/Gravi...0.0.0-beta-7_q/GravityBox_Q_10.0.0-beta-7.apk
Install it.
Activate in Xposed
Activate the Xposed manager too.
Reboot
Make activate the second you need then once complete
Reboot.
Once you've made one change your can alter on the fly
There's an image of what it looks like on my phone afterwards, I can't post it here as it's an edit, just check the thread
Thanks @burtonlax for reminding me that Xposed is still a thing.
It will appear off center as it's relative to the screen, bare in mind our cut out is on the left
If this thread looks odd, its because it started out as a question.

So with the latest yahfa canary and edxposed in App List mode with SafetyNet Pass enabled, safety net is passing for me. GPay will let me set up contactless payment if I want to.

Cheers man this is great to know.

Currently removed the clock from the status bar. Prefer it to on the left.
K-Klock may cause a bootloop so haven't tried that.

Short of finding a way to get FSBI working (which would require xposed - I tried edxposed yahfa, no luck) I haven't found a way.
Our icon blacklist does not have positional clocks, and the substratum theme I tried just resulted in a bootloop.
I badly want to put the clock back on the right side but so far I haven't found a way to do it.

Try gravitybox

The right side? Why?? That would look mental.
Take a look at my screenshot
Battery round the camera, networks on the right, would have been perfect to have the clock in the middle, why would it wasn't the clock on the right too?
Anyway nvm appreciate your response. I think carbon has this option and probably PA. I'll probably the up on one of them.

Have you installed xposed on Android 10 ?
There are several xposed apps I used to use but I haven't seen anything about it on this phone or my last one. The last phone I had, most the mods started to fall to work.
Personally I wouldn't go for xposed, should have put that in the OP.

never heard of it tbh. How did you install it? The chap above seemed to be having issues.
I've just come across an issue myself, my phone has two OS's one is carbon the other is oxygen, trying to get back to oxygen.
This AB **** is really crap. Just doesn't need to be this tedious
EDIT: Just flashed the zip from oneplus to both slots then formatted data in stock recovery. Back now

I don't know but it would be a nice addition for your magisk rom module.
Perhaps even add full date next to clock?

I agree

I'm trying to find the time which needs to be edited to move the clock.
Apparently it was changed to avoid notches..
Besides xposed there must be a way.

So yep gravity box seems to be our only way at the moment.
Added a guide to the op.
Sorry I know it's not easier to accomplish but that's avenue in 2020
PS: little off centre. It's already smiting me.

Added the date, looks ok now

I think it looks more natural on the left.

*chef kiss*
Obviously doesn't pass safetynet with xposed, but worth it for GravityBox and the stuff it enables me to do.
