In an attempt to remove the annoying space-hogging "ok google" widget along with its microphone spying I deleted what I thought was the app for that, called "google".
Doh!
So now the phone doesn't start, never gets past the childish image of stitching.

So.. can I somehow flash this app back onto the phone without losing the data that's on it?

(I'm thinking I'm probably stuffed - the only images I can find require a factory reset first as per here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750), in which case I might aswell just try lineage)

thanks all

ps - it's a motog osprey XT1541.
