Google Assistant wasn’t only the biggest highlight of Google’s Pixel lineup, but also its entire launch event.
How to enable Google Assistant on Android Nougat rooted devices
Bringing conversation and context to artificial
intelligence, Google Assistant promises to become your helpful, real life
assistant that understands your context and responds in a vernacular, non-bot
way. But, Google has made the feature exclusive to its Pixel and Pixel XL
smartphone. You can enable Google Assistant on Android Nougat smartphones, if
they are rooted.
Much smarter than Google Now, Siri and other rival smart
assistants, you can get this assistant even if you don’t own the brand new
Pixel phones. Before starting this workaround, make sure that:
- Your
device is running Android 7.0 Nougat or higher.
- It’s
rooted.
- It has
the latest version of Google app (version 6.5.35.21 or newer).
How to enable Google Assistant on Android Nougat rooted devices
- All
you need to do is add or replace the following line to your
device’s build.prop:
- ro.product.model=Pixel
XL
ro.opa.eligible_device=true - Paste it
and apply the changes to the build.prop (in System) file.
- To
make sure that Google Assistant works without any issues, wipe the
cache and the data of the Google app.
- Finally,
reboot your device.
Alternatively, you can also push this flashable zip
file via ADB on TWRP recovery.
