I installed Allo, having been told that Google Assistant will come with it. I have a OP3T
After downloading it seems nothing more than Google Now?? Is there something else I need to do
I would really appreciate any help you can give
Hi @eric0668
Allo will allow you to use the google assistant only within the application it self. If you would like google assistant instead of google now then there are different ways to do that.
Thanks H3rnand3zz
In spite of the number of posts I am really a newbie.
1. So even when I open Allo, it seems no different than Google Now
2. Could you help me get it working like it does on the Pixel [Non root]. I had the Pixel and really liked Google Assistant
Thanks Again

Sure no problem... So for the first question. You have to send Google assistant a message. So on the bottom right corner of the Convo list click new message icon and chose Google assistant.
2nd question download this app.... It works perfect and will give you Google assistant but you need root.

Unfortunately, you cannot get Google Assistant to work in the same way as it does on the Pixel without rooting. Downloading Allo does not activate Google Assistant through your Google app, it simply lets use it server-side. To enable true Google Assistant, either root or wait a few weeks. Google has stated that they are officially releasing Assistant on all phones with Android 6.0+ "soon".

You can use Freedom OS. There's google assistant which I'm using. You just need to select it in the Aroma Installer.

Hi guys,
I was simply trying to use Android Auto as a car launcher on my smartphone, without any actual intergration with the car, but there's always something lacking.
I've got problems with Google Assistant, there are various useful commands missing when I launch it from Android Auto.
I open Android Auto, I say "Ok Google", Google Assistant correctly starts but I can't use the following commands:
Take a note > That used to create a note in Google Keep
Open $application > That used to launch the mentioned app
and probably more I haven't tried yet.
I'm using the Italian language.
I've got a Xiaomi Mi 6 with MIUI 10 and Android Oreo 8.0.
Is this something wanted by design? To avoid distractions while driving?
Or is it a bug in my Android Auto?
Thanks!
Up guys!
Anyone? Isn't this the right section to post this?
Hi,
When android auto is on, several functionalities of android are blocked.
Google's idea is that only those applications which are homologated for android auto works. They said this is for safe driving, i don't agree.
This is limited to some music apps and Google maps/waze.
Nothing else will work.

Thank you for the confirmation.
Android Auto and Google Assistant require compatible version of the Play Service, are you using all updated?

So you mean:
GPS 12.8.76 (auto updated locked via Titanium to avoid unlocking of AA Mirror every day)
Google 8.14.15.21 (auto updated locked)
Android Auto 3.7.584044 (auto updated locked)
Click to expand...

I always keep everything updated to the latest release so what I've got is:
GPS: I don't know what that is...
Google: 8.33.6.21
Android Auto: 3.7.584044
Do you see anything wrong in my setup?
Apart from this, I've discovered that on Google Play Store it doesn't look like Google Auto should be so limited: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.projection.gearhead&hl=en
Just say “Ok Google” to...
• Route to your next destination using Google Maps or Waze with real-time GPS navigation and traffic alerts.
• Get updates on your route, ETA, and hazards in real-time.
• Have the Google Assistant check your calendar for you so you know where you need to be.
• Set reminders, get updates on the news, and check last night’s score.
• Avoid distractions while driving by setting a custom do not disturb message while driving.
• Make calls using Google Assistant and answer incoming calls with just a tap.
• Access your contacts folder and send and receive messages with the Google Assistant using SMS, Hangouts, WhatsApp, Skype, Telegram, WeChat, Kik, Google Allo, and many more messaging apps.
• Manage your infotainment system like never before. Listen to your favorite media apps including Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, SiriusXM, TIDAL - High Fidelity Music Streaming, Napster Music, and Deezer. Many more music, radio, news, sports news, audiobook, and podcast apps are also supported.

Is there a guide or an article from Google that explains what we can do and we can't do with Google Assistant under Android Auto?
Try remremoving Google assistant seems I have the Sam issue when i installed Google assistant??

Do you mean switching back to Google Now, instead of Google Assistant?
I don't think we can do it, we should uninstall the "Google" app and install an older one from an APK, it doesn't make much sense.
Is there anyone willing to try those two voice commands and see if they work?
Anyway, I didn't find much information about this problem.
By now, I gave up using Google Keep while driving and started using reminders, than I later copy to Keep when I reach home.
I say something like "Hey Google remind me to buy this album in 30 minutes", like explained here: https://support.google.com/googlehome/answer/7387866?co=GENIE.Platform=Android&hl=en
I really hope Google is going to remove these limitations in the near future.
Hi
I hope I am in the right place as I have tried various other forums.
I realize that this could be very technical, but willing to give it a try, as I am nowhere near any place that could help me.
I need to install ALL google services on a chinese tablet (samsung GT-N5100) AKA Galaxy note 8. I have tried a lot of APK's but have been unsuccessful.
I know it runs Android 4.1.2, ARM architecture, and 190 dpi screen.
I seem to have installed google services framework 4.1.3 - 509230, but not sure if it is doing anything as there is no services or playstore.
I have been able to download and install Google chrome and it works 100%
I also tried adding my device on my google account, but because there is no google services, I do not have a "google"account option in "add account"
Anyone that could please assist?

Today I also tried installing GMS Core APK and managed to install APTOID. through that app I could also install google services and playstore......but they dont work
Still waiting for someone to help me with a solution.
Hello,
I just discovered my OP10 Pro running OOS 12 does not support Google Assistant Driving Mode. Does anyone here know if that's the long term plan or is there a plan to support it eventually -- or any other details?
I used Android Auto a lot with my old phone and it worked well for me. I can't use it anymore because my car does not support Android Auto and the Android Auto app now only works with cars, not as a phone app.
Try sideloading the latest Google services Beta + the Google search beta. Once installed, reboot your phone.
Launching the Assistant with thr vocal command "Hey Google, Driving mode" should enable it.
Thanks for the suggestion, @dexlemaffo. I may try sideloading at some point if I can convince myself that doing so isn't over my novice head.
Right now, I'm really interested to understand why OnePlus decided not to support this functionality. Does it not play nice with their hardware or with OxygenOS? If that's the case, then I probably won't try sideloading. If it does play nice, I'm really confused why they don't support it out of the box. I find that lots of times, people here are familiar with "inside baseball" insights like this.
Again, thanks for the suggestion.

I have done that and it does nothing. All it opens is a mode that just keeps maps open but is not the new assistant driving mode.
So I installed android 12 custom rom Pixel extended but I did not flash any gapps as I did not think it was necessary,.
Everything's working fine and smooth but I can't activate google assistant using my voice as it shows, Google assistant is not available for my language.
I have changed assistant and phone's language but no success.
After looking through some forums , I think i found something like it needs 'Google hotwords' etc.
Does someone have a solution?
Is there a way to make Google assistant work on Vivo X90 pro plus? I installed it and activated it, and made it the default assistant but it's not working.
I believe, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, Google assistant only works by making it a widget, pressing the button, then speaking. Saying "hello google" doesn't work on any chinese device afaik
I tried this but it's not performing any tasks.
In the settings I get this message, and I am not sure if I missed something.
Continued conversation also doesn't work. Without it assistant is useless

Sorry I didn't get it.
you cannot talk with google assistant. Each time you will have to say the full command.
E.g.
hey google, how is the weather in London
Answer... XYZ
and how will be the weather tomorrow
will not work. Therefore you can also not use it inside an app. You cannot say:
hey google: please open google maps
... google maps opening
.. I want to ride my bike to picadilly circus
Without continued conversation first google would not listen.
Second you cannot communicate with the assitant and would instead need to do like:
hey google: please open google maps and navigate me by bike to picadilly circus
Google assistant may understand it in one command - but it cannot ask back.
Hence -- Google assistant is a piece of trash on the X90 PP because it doesn't understand anything and will not ask for better indications or pick up on previous commands.
Also that way you cannot really use it inside an app. So you're left with asking questions and getting answers and nothing else. No conversation.
Thank you got it. So separate commands but not continuous conversation.
Single commands. Not separate. You always start at Zero.
