******************ONLY FOR ONEPLUS 5********
TESTED ON ONEPLUS 5 4.5.14​

1. Install Assistant apk from:
[url]https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-assistant/google-assistant-0-1-171067374-release/google-assistant-0-1-171067374-android-apk-download/[/URL]

2. Flash this zip on TWRP and then reboot:
[url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/themes/flashable-zip-google-lens-pixel-2-t3693859[/URL]

3. Add the last two lines and edit the first two lines on build.prop and then reboot :

ro.product.brand=Google
ro.product.manufacturer=Google
ro.product.model=Pixel 2 XL
ro.opa.eligible_device=true

PLEASE USE ONLY FX FILE MANAGER TO EDIT THE BUILD.PROP

4. Set ENGLISH (US) language in settings, open Assistant and select START. THEN set YOUR language and re-open assistant app and then finish the configuration.

5. Re Change in build.prop the line in:

ro.product.manufacturer=Oneplus

6. Reboot.

Nothing

I AM NOT RESPONSABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, I HAVE TESTED THIS ON MY ONEPLUS 5 AND IT'S WORKING, FOLLOW STEP BY STEP.

Tried to revert back after using the assistant by changing the options as they were before and ended up bricking my device :( . Don't forget to make a nandroid backup before messing with your device.

Definetly working and assistant works perfectly fine in italian. Will Ok google be enabled again when assistant will officially release? If not, what should be done to undo all the changes made here in the process without bricking like @elbuenzurdo did?

For some reason, mine shows a screen saying Google Assistant is only not available in Spanish (Spain) yet. I've followed all the steps, no idea what can have gone wrong :(

Apparently after this method google photo stops working, it immediately crashes as soon as I try to open it

Edit: it was crashing because of a substratum theme I was using (stupid me), uninstalled the overlay and Google photo now works, ok Google not yet

Thank you for the guide! I've just activated Spanish and it's working flawlessly excepting the 'OK Google' everywhere function.

By the way, I didn't flashed the zip on the second step and it works anyway.

With a Assistant, Ok Google and Google Now have gone forever, please stop searching for them...
