Step 1: Edit Your Build.Prop FileFor this first part, you'll need a root-enabled file browser with text editing capabilities. Aside from that, start by heading to the /system/ folder from the root directory of your device, then make sure to mount it as read/write so that you can make changes to the files it contains. From there, long-press the build.prop file, then choose "Open with text editor" or similar from the context menu.Next, scroll through until you find a line that starts with ro.product.model=. Delete everything after the = sign, then replace it with "Pixel XL." In the end, this line should read:ro.product.model=Pixel XL With that out of the way, scroll down to the bottom of the list and add a new line. From here, type the following text:ro.opa.eligible_device=true Once you've added that, make sure to save the updated build.prop file.

Once you've taken care of that, your new Assistant will be ready to use. When you long-press the home button, Google Assistant will already be listening, so just say what's on your mind.
