How soon? I'd like to try the assistant and I was thinking of doing the build.prop modification, but now that I saw this thread maybe I'll rather wait for this module.

Edit: Sweet module. Love it, worked as expected.

Make sure you're on a Google app version higher than 6.5.35.21. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-search/google-search-6-6-14-release/

Magisk Manager doesn't like cache mods so you have to flash in recovery. Make sure you wipe data for Google App after flashing.

This only sets the two build. prop variables. I didn't include any Google app apks or wipe data for Google app. You'll have to do that yourself.

Just so you're aware replacing the entire build.prop causes issues. It's best to replace the two individual lines. You can use my module as a guide.

Will this be a magisk module still? Can it be undone easily?

Oddly enough no matter what I tried it didn't work/run properly from the post-fs script. I'll check your module. Maybe it has something to do with file encoding

I couldn't get his to work. I probably am doing it wrong. But now on tap still shows up.

Flashed in TWRP on Nexus 6, no /cache/magisk was created and neither the properties have changed:

Code:

$ adb shell
shamu:/ $ getprop ro.product.model
Nexus 6
shamu:/ $ getprop ro.opa.eligible_device

shamu:/ $

Did it work on Nexus 6p?

Flashed the file in twrp, rebooted, wiped all google app data, long pressed home and there it was. "ok google" command working great

My setup:

Magisk v7
Magisk phh

Are you able to Download+Install modules through the Magisk Manager Downloads section? I'm on NBD90x with Magisk v7, Nexus 6P, Magisk phh, Magisk Manager 2, and I get an error for every module I try to install through the manager. If I could get at the zips and just flash them that would be awesome, but I can't.

Yes I can download, install and reboot from the manager. But this mod needs to be flashed in recovery FYI.
Try and flash them from recovery. There's a folder where magisk manager downloads the zip files. It's in the root of the SD and I think its named magiskmanager

Yes, there is. Unfortunately immediately after the zips are downloaded, when the install fails, it removes the zip and I can't get at it. I've gone completely back to full stock NBD90X and installed everything, gone into Magisk Manager and am still unable to install any of the modules from there. It's so frustrating, haha.

Does magisk manager have storage permission?

It does. It's the only permission in fact.

If there's any Nexus 6 (so far the only arm and not arm64 phone to get Nougat, right?) owner who have this module or any other cache-module working, please post here. I suspect something cache-module related is broken on the arm phone(s).

You could try my mod. Instead of replacing the whole buld.prop file it just adds the two properties

Code:

ro.product.model=Pixel
ro.opa.eligible_device=true

to it.

Edit:
Forgot to mention it's still a cache mod so let me know how it works out.
And remember you need to flash it via recovery. Magisk Manager won't install it correctly.

Edit2:
As you can see below, loserskater already posted the same thing in post 3.
So yeah ...

This is exactly like my module in post 3 of this thread.

Oh man I didn't see that.. Sorry! Didn't want to take anything from you

No worries, just merely pointing it out.

Thanks for trying to help, but you probably missed this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69088754&postcount=8 too.

Again, if anyone with Nexus 6 (or arm platform in general) got any cache modules working, please let me know.
