With assistant when I say remind me to do something it replies that I need to enable Google now to use reminders.
That's the problem.

What country are you in? (Your profile is blank) Using the stock Pixel launcher? When you go to the Play Store and search Google Now, does it come up with the Google App already installed?

I'm pretty sure it is because you are located in Russia. I'm surprised GA works at all. You may try resetting app defaults (settings>>apps&notifications>>all apps>>3dot menu>>reset app preferences), checking your version number against the latest version. Mine is v7.17.28.21.

I'm not in Russia. I'm in Georgia. They are different countries.
I'll try resetting but I had it on my previous phones Nexus 6 and note 5. All my phones were from US but I always needed to set up my phone on VPN to activate Google now because it always said that GN isn't available in my country. Now the message is different. It points on my account.
I have Google home and reminders work there perfectly.

Google wallet for Verizon is possible.

So I've read all the post about Verizon Gnex not being able to get Google wallet. Has anyone tried it recently? It first happened when I was rooted I was able to update Google wallet from the market after side loading the application. So I decided to test it, I unrooted my Gnex and went to factory image 4.0.2 and it seems as if I can now download it from the market. Is this happening for anyone else?

Downloading it directly from the play store? No you haven't.
FWIW, I don't see it in the play store though. Although I have it installed anyway.

you can download it from the play store, but you have to go in a round about way. you have to user the browser to find the app, and keep using the browser until you are going to install it and then you pick google play.
thats how i did it and it installed fine on my vzw GN.

I am under the impression that the OP didn't have to use any workaround, just went directly to it.

Another back door
Found another back door. I regularly use GoLauncher EX, which has it's own store. Through it I have was able to insall/update the app. Oddly, it directs me to the Play Store directly from the GoLauncher EX update notification where I was able to install.
Upon completion, I changed my launcher back to stock, went into the play store, and had to log in (? strange, right?), and was unable to bring it up in search results, and it did not show in the "installed" column of My Apps. It DID however show as installed, under the all apps section. Not sure if I'll be able to use it, or if my phone will self-destruct upon NFC tap. I'll update when I try it out.

I'm pretty sure Wallet is just available in market now for Gnex. At least, I'm able to just search it and install it now. I've done it multiple times over the past few months.
Edit: just checked, and it's NOT showing up in market now for me... but it IS still installed and working. I used it no more than an hour ago at Jack in the Crack.
Maybe Google tampered with it today.
or if you are just looking for it or rooted and need the one that now works and doesn't give UNSUPPORTED device error. I found one last month on here, can't remember where since there are like 6 different ones floating around. I posted my dropbox link so you can grab a working one.
How to install:
1) Use ADB, adb push it to /system/app
2) Use RootExplorer and paste it to /system/app

Removing HTC apps

Anybody know how to remove the HTC apps like people, messages, mail?
Also is there a Google version of the people app?
Is there a way to get stock Android lock screen?
Only if you can disable them, otherwise you need root.

You can't disable the apps I mentioned (I did with others) and it says my device is incompatible with Google contacts for some reason!

Thanks!
Managed to find and install the latest version but still didn't make it show up in the play store so decided it's not worth it right now I guess.

Why should it show up in play store? Maybe the screen dpi or something needs to get updates in the app to show up. If you installed it from the source I send, you should be able to use it. No need to update

I can't be bothered to keep manually checking if a new version comes out etc so was hoping perhaps installing apk would force it to show in the play store. Plus I still can't get rid of the HTC people app.
DPI seemed fine to me so not sure why it's not there.

Any way to get Google Assistant on OOS without Nova Launcher?

Hey guys, I really want to run GA but don't like Nova due to not having the left google now side card available. I'll be using a Pixel Launcher zip. Is there any way this is possible with the OP3 on latest OOS? Thanks
U can get GA by using an xposed module called assistant enabler. I'm on oos 3.2.6 and am able to use it but one issue I'm facing is that it doesn't retain my voice training. Whenever I say ok Google, it prompts me to train it. Gotta find a solution.
If you got root, then just add the following lines at the end of your build.prop.
ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
After that, force close your google app, clear it's data and reboot. And you should have your google assistant working.
Note: this would actually show up your phone as Oneplus Pixel XL in every place. Not that it breaks anything but just an aesthetic trade-off.

Thanks for your reply! Does that xposed module enable things like Googles live wallpapers as well as the assistant?

Installed the module on latest community build and got the assistant working but I have the same retraining problem.
I've also have the same issue with voice training.

I found out a solution from Xposed Assistant Enabler topic. Some users posted that upgrading Google app to 6.8.x beta version solved the issue. I googled for beta google app and installed one. Then I followed Sabissimo's instructions and got it working. Sometimes though I get a blank screen even though the assistant works fine in the background. Like when I say OK Google I don't get any notification window. Only taskbar changes color but still the assistant works and opens up things normally on the screen.
These are the instructions I followed: (I had to update Google app to a beta version before I got it working)
Sabissimo said:
Disable assistant in module settings.
Go to voice settings.
Delete voice model.
Retrain voice model.
Enable assistant in module settings.
Should help

Thanks will give it a try. Is there anyway to get the live wallpapers working as well on Marshmallow?

Still don't have Google Assistant

I'm running on the latest firmware and I also received the April Security patch update. But I still don't have Google Asistant. Long pressing the home button opens the Marshmallow style Now on tap interface, and the Ok Google voice activation opens up traditional voice search. Any ideas how to activate Google Assistant without unlocking the bootloader.

Omg thanks for the suggestion! Didn't work though. Next useless suggestion please. And also stop assuming that people haven't tried googling stuff before posting here.
I googled, searched xda for similar posts before asking here. So kindly stick to useful and helpful advise.

Google assistant is done through voice commands. Google search brings up the keyboard.

That used to be the case, but is no longer.
Keyboard is present, and can in fact be set as the default input method for assistant, if you desire.
OP: not sure whay its not coming up for you. Make sure play services is up to date.

I'm right there with you. I'm currently on Android O Beta 2 of the Pixel. When I was on Beta 1 I couldn't update my Google App so I rolled back to Android 7.1.2 and updated everything then proceeded to rejoin the beta. I've even done a factory reset while using O and still no keyboard option. If you ask the Assistant "can I just type" she even replies saying to just press the keyboard icon. I've submitted feedback to Google but I probably won't hear anything back. Today I decided to try again after installing the new beta. I uninstalled all updates and cleared cache. Still nothing.
So much for the conversational Google Assistant..
I'm in exactly the same boat. My wife and I both have a Pixel with Google App & Gboard up to date (mine was beta) with the phone's language set to English US and the keyboard the same.
She has the keyboard option, I do not
I've been on the chat with Google Support a number of times, but still no help. I did have the keyboard for a few days when I made another of my account as primary, but it then disappeared randomly overnight.
It's very frustrating as I would use it a lot more especially when the kids are asleep.

I now heard that it is a server side phased roll out with Gmail id as a criteria(not device dependent). When I relate this with your notes, I feel it is correct. The only option is to wait it out.
I think that's the case, however Google support isn't much help on the issue.
Did you end up getting the keyboard? If so, what did you have to do?

I have Google app, Play Services and Gboard all on beta versions, I have Nougat, I have all of the other features, but the keyboard (which is what I wanted the most) He says if I leave beta and try his app, it might work, but I tried and nothing happened, and I don't want to leave beta.
I tried beta and I'm not off all betas to see if it makes a difference, nothing on my side...
Hello, y'all, I have just now received the Keyboard option along with history. It's been like 7h I got it and it wasn't here when I woke up, it's 20h20 where I am.
