Just tried to install via mirror apk, but received message that it's incompatible with my architecture. Are us Chinese users doomed?
Does Google assistant work on the Chinese axon 7?
- Thread starter front firing speakers
- Start date
Did you download the version for arm64, android x.0+, and, no dpi devices?
I believe it's 440
I tried installing the latest play services and I can see google assistant already in the settings from the google app. But it still doesn't work. When i say ok google, it's just the same old google voice search. I'm also using nova launcher btw.

Same thing happens when I long press home or open google app or voice seach. In nova, I can set it to use google app, or voice search. There's no shortcut for google assistant.
Don't set a home button shortcut in Nova - leave it default. Clear all the data from Google app and the cache from play services, and then reboot. When it boots back up long press the home button and you should have either the assistant or on tap.

Or sometimes if you have a custom DPI set it won't work.
I've never used a Chinese variant but if you're rooted, couldn't you disable the Chinese voice app with titanium backup?
Try the Get Assistant app in the play store, or I think there's a Magisk module to enable assistant. I'm out of ideas though lol
Hey im running custom dpi on nougat axon 7 us and this broke the assistant. can't activate it by holding home button. you got any idea if it can be fixed?
Not without using one of the preset DPIs in the display settings.
Oh wow, this is hell man. not even a patch or any workaround? I happen to really enjoy the increased usability that comes with the custom dpi. I tried googling for answers but no luck.
Do you access the assistant through a long press on home button. On Chinese axon 7 this is not possible as the language needs to be set as Chinese
There's a adb command to set dpi.. haven't tried this personally on this phone but this should work on any android.
If you have twrp, just go to terminal and type "wm density DPI" then reboot.
Now we just change the DPI in the command to our default value. 640 I think, not sure though.

How do you enable the home button to open up Google assistant? Just says it needs Chinese language
I have assistant in Google app. Changed voice button to search but it's still the old Google home voice!!! Why no option to set up the assistant
Do you manage to say "Ok Google" at any time working? Here in my phone this option is greyed and I cannot use it. Google Assistent does appears in Google, Search options in settings, and it seems to be turned on, also Google is selected in Assist & voice input and My Voice is disabled. I cannot whatelse to configure... It seems that My Voice blocks long press home functions for me.
