How To: Get the Pixel's Google Assistant Working on Other Android Devices

That may not seem like a big deal at first glance, but the system dump contained all of the preinstalled apps and services from Google's new flagships—including the much-anticipated Google Assistant.Once they had this information, it didn't take long for the tinkerers on XDA to find a way to get Google Assistant working on other devices.

Method 1: Requirementslatest version of the Google App installed (6.5.35.21 or higher) Android 7.0 or higher rooted Android device root-enabled file browser
Step 1: Edit Your Build.Prop FileFor this first part, you'll need a root-enabled file browser with text editing capabilities. Aside from that, start by heading to the /system/ folder from the root directory of your device, then make sure to mount it as read/write so that you can make changes to the files it contains. From there, long-press the build.prop file, then choose "Open with text editor" or similar from the context menu.Next, scroll through until you find a line that starts with ro.product.model=. Delete everything after the = sign, then replace it with "Pixel XL." In the end, this line should read:ro.product.model=Pixel XL With that out of the way, scroll down to the bottom of the list and add a new line. From here, type the following text:ro.opa.eligible_device=true Once you've added that, make sure to save the updated build.prop file.
Step 2: Reboot & Clear Data on the Google AppAfter editing your build.prop file, reboot your device so that the changes will take effect. When you get back up, you can try accessing Google Assistant by long-pressing your home button, but chances are, you'll still see the old Now on Tap screen.So if you're still not seeing Google Assistant yet, head to the Apps menu in Settings, then select "Google App" from the list. From here, select "Storage," then tap "Manage Space" on the following screen. Finally, tap the "Clear All Data" button, then you'll be all set to go.
Step 3: Enjoy Google AssistantAt this point, you should be all set to try out the new Google Assistant. To start, simply long-press your home button from any screen. If you had to clear data on the Google app in Step 2, you'll need to run through initial setup again. This includes setting up the "OK Google" hotword and granting a few permissions, so make sure to follow the on-screen instructions carefully. Once you've taken care of that, your new Assistant will be ready to use. When you long-press the home button, Google Assistant will already be listening, so just say what's on your mind. The Assistant is very conversational, and there are many cool things it can do, so make sure to read our Google Assistant article below to get the full rundown.Don't Miss: 10 Things Google Assistant Can Do to Make Your Life Easier
