Get Assistant - Root for Android
This app worked perfectly on my rooted Galaxy S6 Running the latest Nougat S7 edge Rom. Thank you!! I waned to post this so u know, it is working obviously on a non Nexus device. And to the guy with the S3, Jesus! Talk about device support!!!!! That phone came out the same time my HTC Rezound did, and it's been dead! Awesome that you got Nougat on it!!
Hey there thanks for the app. I've loaded Google assistant on my lineage ROM. When I first attempted to run it the initial screen couldn't connect to the server so I downloaded and enabled the chop assistant. Enabled the service. Wasn't able to get ok Google on each screen. Since this I've removed chop service and ok Google works on every screen. Thanks.
I got tired of waiting for the official release. The app worked flawlessly and going through the process was a breeze. I also don't get the 'retrain voice model' pop-up, marvelous! Too bad it will be otiose in a matter of days/weeks. Nevertheless thanks a lot for the app!
I am using Lineage OS 14.1 Unofficial on my YU Yuphoria. Your app worked like a charm but the thing is that I am not getting that voice train pop up again and again like other users reporting. Well whatever the reason is I am happy with this app but I wish I could help other users in removing that pop up. May be I am just lucky I didn't even installed that Chop Assistant App.
I used the "New Method" as the app suggested it, followed all the instructions and after the device rebooted everything was working the way it should. How do I know that I have been successful? I'm on LineageOS 14.1 and I've set Home button long press action to "Search Assistant" but nothing happens when I long press the home button, only a slight vibration. Help? Update: Thanks to the devs for replying to my queries. Basically from what I understood, sometimes custom ROMs don't implement all the Google Now's features correctly and so you might not be able to get Google Assistant even if you are on 7.1.1 with updated GApps and all. Anyways, still giving it 5 stars as I really liked the idea/hack and the efforts put in by the team.
"Denied! It seems you have denied the root request... " App didnt ask for root permission! :( EDIT After much fiddling it now works. Had to update SuperSU after installing LinearOS; SuperSU somehow stopped working properly.
It worked, that's the bottom line. After trying to fiddle with the build.prop file manually and soft bricking my device I gave this a go and was successful. Nicely laid out app. Simple. Good explanations/instructions. This is on a nexus 6, android 7.1.1 running custom ROM Nitrogen OS
Great app Shane! I have just one niggle which is a constant irritant - I just cannot get my GA to unlock my phone using 'Ok Google' command! I've tried retraining it several times but to no effect. Was browsing through XDA and found this issue persistent with many other Nexus users who have used the build.prop method. While Pixel users dont seem to have such an issue. Please help! Note-Used Legacy method as suggested by app.
I installed it,but It didn't work. I am using official lineage os 14.1 on my YU Yureka . Cleared Google app data and rebooted the phone but didn't help at all. Edit 1: Thanks for replying so fast????. I am using Latest Beta version of Google app 6.16.31.21 . Language is set to English(US). And Yes I chose the New method as suggested. As I am using custom ROM, I had to install gapps package . I am using pico version of gapps package . So Google app was not included in that version. I had to install it from Play store. Let me know if there is any option to get the google assistant. Final edit : well the problem was I installed pico version of gapps. I INSTALLED mini version of gapps where Google app was preinstalled. So now I am using Google Assistant without any error. Not leaving any bad ratings. ????
Immediately after using this utility on my OnePlus 2, everything Google related crashes all the time. Even after restoring the build.prop backup, the Google App and my browser can't display anything without crashing. At first I thought this was an issue with Webview, but clearing the cache for everything Google related hasn't helped. I may have to reflash LineageOS. I'm not leaving a bad review though, because it was my fault for ignoring the warnings that stated it was for Nexus devices only.
This app wirked perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy s7 (sm-g930f). It is easy to use and in the only part which isn't automated, the app provides you very clear and easy to follow instructions for the 3 steps. I appreciate the clarity within the app and how it explains (in detail) what it is doing. I can not recommend it enough! APP DEV: Thanks for making this free to use. It was great to be able to install a free program and check that it worked rather than buying an app just to find out it wouldnt work. This app definitely deserves more support :) You have a donation from me :)
Oneplus 3T -- Worked flawlessly with new install method. Just followed the guidelines (clearing cache, rebooting, etc) and only took a few minutes to complete.
Thank you very much its work ???????? I can't explain you how many YouTube videos I watched to active Google assistant but I was failed.. and this app work properly thank you very much again????... my device Samsung a3 2016
New method worked perfectly on OnePlus 3 running OOS ob11 7.0. Cleared app data, rebooted, and had to change long press action to appropriate choice (search assistant).
This app is great! At first it didn't work as when I held the home buttons, nothing happened, I googled it and you have to install the Google app as a system app. I used Link2SD to do that (super easy with it to convert to system app) and bam, after a restart, the assistant worked great. Maybe you should make a note in the "Didn't work" section and say you need to install the Google app as a system app (I recommend Link2SD it's super easy, just tap on the app, press the dots in the corner, tap convert and reboot your device.) I have a OnePlus one running CM 14 and I recommend it if your rooted. I have my new OnePlus 3 coming and will definitely be doing this to it as well.
I think this app is great for the people that have phones that don't allowed or have the capability of this feature however that doesn't mean that they have a bad phone it just means that it's not capable of doing what this feature does but having a way around it with an app is great and lovely thanks Google
Awesome sauce! Had a couple of minor issues. Installed on a rooted new Nexus 6 with 7.0.0. Properly installed and rebooted. Then My home screen icons and widgets were gone except the defauld Google icons. No biggie, easy to fix. Then the "Rotate the contents of the screen" was not working. Toggled it, rebooted, still no rotation only on the home screen. Worked in apps still. Long pressed on home screen and there was another setting for rotation that was set to off. Turned on, still didn't rotate. Started customizing and few minutes later it just started working. Thanks for this app! Donating. Wish I could donate more than 99 cents. Everyone should donate! The way to fix the voice train popup is to edit build propery like this: Change your build.prop line ro.opa.eligible_device=true back to false, reboot, train voice model in Google App, change build.prop line back to true and reboot again. Only works for Nexus
Good app! I successfully enabled Google assistant in China. (although the Google assistant can't recognize Chinese:D) I hope this app can support Chinese soon.
This app is amazing, but when updating my android system, there's an error said the file"build.pop"has an unexpected contents.what should I do?
Ha Ha Awesome! I was able to dust off an old Galaxy S3, install a custom ROM to get me to N 7.1.1 and now with this app, assistant works perfectly.
I had been rejected by a phone app!!! It said that I dont have any root and threw me away. I feel depressed.
♥️ Donated for sure!!! ♥️I've been figuratively tearing my hair out for weeks trying to get assistant to work and this app sorted everything for me in a few simple clicks! Foolproof
Awesome. She works, but OK Google does not work at all, I always have to enter Assistant r app to talk to her. My system language is set to English.
Mine is OnePlus 3T. When I tried installing this app, it says rooting is denied. Thanks for prompt guidance
At first I installed the app on my Galaxy trend plus running cm14.1 I was actually expecting a bootloop when I rebooted but i was surprised to see the Google Assistant working flawlessly,I was shocked.nice app,, But after some time I couldn't find the Assistant settings and Google Assistant stopped working
I have a little issue google app says my device is not eligible to turn on ok google feature
How do i get my phone back being what it was as i was not able to install the security update that is being added up in my device nexus 5x how do i get my model name changed to nexux 5x again plz solve my query
Excellent app!! Thought it didn't work at first, but i had to change the home button to voice assistant. Works like a charm!!
Worked perfectly on my custom rom (mad os). I use it together with an app called assist me! To launch Google assistant, because I have my navigation bar hidden.
I have a problem: "open Facebook " "actually i can't do that when the device is locked..." How Can i fix It? Edit: I can't turn on the Bluetooth
It's perfect on LG G3 running unofficial Lineage OS Nougat Rom
Everything has come but if I go to voice settings there in no option of retaining voice
I followed procedure according to app but did not get Google assistant. My dev is running on N-7.1.1
Working perfectly on my Moto G3 with Lineage 14.1, working theory is that with SuperSU 2.78 installed it somehow stops Google Assistant from working, removing it seems to have fixed any installation problems
Works beautifully but the only concern is that the voice recognition is not very accurate as the pixel phones
WoW! Didn't expect it to work in my Lineage OS. Thanks Dev. ☺️
Worked well, easy to use. I'm using a Galaxy s4 with Lineage 14.1 by Side. I converted the Google App to a system app using Linkers prior to attempting this
I have downloaded this THREE Times and each time I've been told this app is installed (I have a brand new LG Aristo with 16 gig internal storage). Then when I press the button to get things started, I'm told that I'm NOT rooted. What gives?
Works like a charm on Nexus 6 with Cyanogenmod 14.1. Also flawless functionality on Nexus 6P with LineageOS 14.1. Amazing work there.

Really nice app! I chose the New Method because I had the newest Google app. After it changed the build.prop file, I went to check if I saw the text it would add, because it didn't work. I found this: ro.opa.eligible_device=truedebug.sf.hw=1 I don't know if it is supposed to be there, or is there something wrong? Please reply. Edit: Yesterday I installed Android Tweaker 2 and selected auto tweaker and then battery. Seems like the app did something to the text I already had (it worked before) in build.prop. I changed what possibly Android Tweaker 2 did to what your app was supposed to. And now it is working perfectly fine ???????? Keep up the good work!????????????????????????
