How to replace Goolgle assistant with google now on tap, and adding new languages

[satishAmara]

Hi,
I updated Axon 7 mini to Nougat 7.1.1.
When I tap and hold Home button, I am seeing google assistant.
I am not able to "select any text " by capturing the current screen. I used other assistant tools which are not reading the text on images.

How can I get back google now on tap?

As I read somewhere, I tried to change the language as per this suggestion (if we do like this, google now on tap works):
select "English" from the list, then, when prompted to choose a region, select "U.S. Virgin Islands."
How ever I see only "English" language in languages, there are no options to select regions.

Do any one know solution?

Theoretically, the only way you can do that is downgrading Google Now to a much older version.

Some solution

I did factory reset. At the very binging I am able to select language and region. I chose English(India).

Now I am able to do screen text selection. Please note that if you again click on language English based on your location it may change. So In my case it became English(United states) - and holding home button pops up assistant, So I had to do reset one more time.
