Up until two days ago, a double tap of my home button would open Google Now. The interface with the cards, and the Google voice assistant.
Seemingly out of the blue, S Voice has now replaced the Google assistant and I can't get it back. I tried resetting default applications and it won't let me choose to use Google.
Can anyone help me to get back my Google assistant?
Have you got root?

Yes, although I don't know what exactly. It's rooted and I believe that had to be done for it to work with my SIM. The device is American, originally on AT&T and I use it in the UK with another carrier.
if root, remove or rename s-voice app....
I mean without any mods or custom rom. Google recently announced to launch Google assistant on eligible devices with marshmallow and up. I'm on 6.14 version of Google App and 10.5.37 version play services . But still Google assistant is not working.
Update: Good news everyone it is working on moto e3 power just popped out on the phone by long pressing the home button . And I'm in India!

They have launched it but in Google Allo messaging app. It is built in the app but you don't get a voice talkback

I'm talking about full system level assistant. It is not available in my country, but in other countries where it is available, I want to know if it is working on moto e3 power or not.
I've got it this morning on my Panasonic Eluga tapp.I think it is a server side switch from Google.

Bug for example?
Has anyone received the Google Assistant update yet? It was suppose to role out yesterday. Just wondering since the default for this phone is Moto assistant if we will get it or not.
Love the Nougat update

I installed the "Play Services Info" app by weberdo and used it to download Google Play Services version 10.2.99 (440-148249840) from APK Mirror. After a couple of reboots and disabling Moto Voice, Google Assistant became active. I had to touch the microphone icon, and after a couple of tries, it went into "configure" mode and learned my voice. Now working fine.

Didn't work for me. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait.

Interestingly, for me, even while running on play services 10.2.98, I had all the assistant settings in the google app, and even paired it with my smartthings account, but alas, voice search is still going to the old style search. Updated to 10.2.99 and still seeing the same behavior. I didn't even know we were getting assistant, and was quite excited when I saw the settings, so when it didn't work, of course I got unreasonably upset. oh well

Alright, I let it sit for a couple hours, and it's working now. Though, still can't launch it from the microphone button in the google app or the google search bars on the home screens. That still launches the old voice search. Have to long touch the home button or use the "ok google" launch phrase. It's a shame it can't use the always-on mic from moto voice though.
I'm seeing some similar things. Google Assistant came down to my phone automatically. Set up the OK Google voice command. Seems to work fine when launching from the mic button on the assistant, but will not respond to always on mic when the phone is idle.
You do have to disable Moto Voice, or change the voice phrase to something other than OK Google. Phone still responds to Moto Voice command on idle, but not OK Google.
Yea, so unless there's a software update for Moto Voice, we're likely not going to get the always-on mic to work with assistant. There's a dedicated processor on the SoC that handles the always-on mic, and it's tied directly to Moto Voice. Moto voice really doesn't do a whole lot other than listen for the launch phrase. Everything after that point is basically handed off to Google Voice search. It really should be quite a easy fix (pass the requests onto assistant instead of voice search), but I doubt that will happen.

I woke up this morning and I finally got the assistant. just an FYI
I got it too. However, while it unlocks the phone when locked and the screen being on, it will not wake the phone when saying ok google. You hear the sound prompt that it heard you, but nothing ever follows up and the screen stays black
I've rooted my J320A, installed the beta versions of Google Play Services and the Google App, cleared all storage for each app and I'm still not seeing Google Assistant. Is anyone else having this problem?
mines not rooted, but i'm having the same problem
I have a stock SM-J327P with the beta Google App and Google Play services too and it's not on my phone yet either.

Also we could try posting to https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/websearch/RC1pw4QhcfE/GCZx2ZbMBgAJ with answers to Ron's and hopefully prompt a better response.
Maybe im confused, but isnt the screenshot google assistant?
Didnt do anything, just updated stock thru playstore.
Guess what I posted above isn't assistant, just Google on tap...I've tried a lot to get this working
The non rooted methods out there can get to assistant in a round about way (launching some settings menu), but after assistant is activated I still could not launch it.
Using current versions of Google app the only way I could access assistant is thru rooted terminal, using the following command
Code:
am start -n "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.apps.gsa.staticplugins.opa.OpaActivity"
But typing that is a half and I couldn't come up with a practical way of using (I plan to learn tasker tho, that might help)
Only decent way I can launch it is by using an old version, 6.11.21.21 works. And installing the xposed module assistant enabler (n-ify's experimental settings has this feature too)
You must also disable auto update in your play store.
Using old versions has it's drawbacks. For instance Pixel launcher doesn't get read your weather card, so no weather widget. Who knows what else.
[EDIT]
I was able to update and it still work, it didn't last tho... Needs more testing

Nah havent really messed with tasker yet.
Only really have time to play on the weekends, and worked on another project last weekend (that alt root thing). Now with the holliday im not sure what ill have time for...i did work out the highest version assistant enabler works for us tho (6.13.25.21 works)
Ill be sure to report any updates
Think this is the best i can do with tasker using the command above (and updated google app)
Install tasker and autovoice
In tasker click the profile tab and import the two attached profiles
In autovoice goto google now
Choose not enabled
Turn on both autovoice and tasker accessibility options
Back out then check enable and uncheck voice only
Now goto advanced and check always cancel
And thats it
Now when you say 'ok google' (or use voice search) voice search will popup and close and google assistant will launch...holding the home button will bring up on tap, auto close and launch assistant.
It will probably fail the first time, but itll work afterwards.
Also the first time you open the google app itll activate assistant, but again, itll work afterwards.
Enjoy
-D
Btw im still looking for another method, i dont like the delay
I had a little luck using Google Assistant Launcher, which seems to launch the same intent you suggested and may be easier than messing around with tasker.
Here's what I've done:
De-enroll from the Google App beta, uninstall the beta, and then install the latest (non-beta) Google app.
Then run the Google Assistant Launcher and click on the "My Stuff" tab, create a new reminder and train the voice model
Go to settings / apps / defaults and change the default assistant to Google Assistant Launcher
If the Assistant Launcher doesn't launch the Assistant, clear storage for the Google app and Google Play services and try again

Hmm for me this would always bring up the settings were you set the reminder
[Edit]
Google app must have changed. Now what you wrote will bring up plain old voice search here...what version are you on?

So, I have Tasker and AutoVoice. I am running your (@DamienMc) "pixel experience" ROM for J320A with root and Xposed. When I try to enable AutoVoice's accessibility setting, it tells me "Universal switch does not support the current system language. The text to speak language will be set to English (United States), but this might cause unexpected behavior." I click Turn On, and then it says unfortunately, settings has stopped. This happens every time I try to enable any accessibility setting for any app. So please consider this in an update to your ROM.

The Assistant Launcher is working for me. However, pressing and holding the home button does not work.
I have Google Assistant on my phone and I installed it without rooting my phone I found the following video that shows you how to install Google Assistant on any Android phone without having to root the phone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSP6gICNfLY
Just install Google Assistant Launcher apk(180kb) and update Google Application to latest version.
Press and Hold home button, and voila Google Assisten Launched
How about the Assistant Enabler Xposed module? DamienMc added it to the J320A ROM. It works great
I think that's work.
Try ^^
Maybe i was trying the wrong app when I tried. Only one I see is 149kb

I have Samsung galaxy j3 and qhen nnyni try to install Google assistant it say,"this version is not compatible with your device." So I deleted date from Google and Google play services plus I became beta tester. And guess what.GOOGLE ASSISTANT STILL WAS NOT ABLE TO BE INSTALLED ON MY DEVICE!!!!! I NEED HEEELP!!!
I know the full bixby features aren't available for use yet, but are any of you using it more than Google assistant? Why or why not?
neither. what do you even use these for?
Google assistant is so much more interesting and useful than Bixby !
There is no voice command for bixby yet. And anyway, even when Bixby will get these voice commands, there is no chance that it will be better than Google Assistant.
I disabled almost every Bixby services, I remaped the bixby button to the Google App (I use home button to get the google assistant).
I found use for scanning QR codes with Bixby Vision and that's about it. I want to disable everything related to bixby and remap the button to Google now/Assistant but I don't want to disable and realtime day to day use of the phone. Also, I'm on a non rooted tmobile s8 and doubt it's possible on stock.
My ok google is not working please help

There is an app to remap Bixby button. Works great. Find it in the app store. It's called bxActions. You can make use of it for Google assistant. ?

Long click on Google app> when it wiggles click on app info>scroll down to permissions>click and make sure microphone is clicked on. If this doesn't work, you can try deleting cache first then data in Google. Let me know.

So there are no options within Google app for Google assistant? Try uninstallimg it then install again.
I did that and still ok google not recognize my voice it doesn't work
I use bixby to launch google assistant...
I use Bixby and Google Now. Don't use assistant.

Weird though. Mine works flawlessly. No problems. ?
I use google assistant to set alarms and turn off my lights at night. I disabled Bixby completely because when I remapped it it either accidentally launched what I mapped it to or it would still launch bixby. Now the button does nothing and i'm happy. If Samsung works around package disabler then I'll crazy glue the button in place. Lets see them patch that ****! ?
