[APP] Google Now (JB Search) for ICS Roms NO VOICE ~ 7.6.2012 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Original thread and development/updates here
Confirmed working on Hercules running CM9, I have not tested on other ROMS including touchwiz based ones. Flash at your own discretion, I'm not liable for bricks, etc. Read directions very carefully and it works as described.
This requires root and the knowledge of how to manipulate system apps. I will not be providing support for Root Explorer/Astro/ES File Explorer/etc if you don't know how to set it to read/write mode.
Voice search WONT work. I will update the thread if someone, somewhere gets it working.
edit:Confirmed to be "working" on non-AOSP Roms, so flash away!
edit 2: New file with less force closes and more cards! No voice search still :crying:
If flashing for the first time:
Download File
Go Into /system/app and rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk1 (as a backup).
Go to downloaded file
Rename from Velvet-theos0o#.apk to Velvet.apk
Copy to /system/app and change permissions to RW-/R--/R--
Reboot
Open Search widget and give it a moment to start up
Go into settings->Privacy and accounts-> enable "Search on google.com"
?????
Profit
If flashing the updated file:
Download New File
Go into Applications and clear data for Google Search
Go into /system/app and delete GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk (this should be the old version of Google Now)
Go to downloaded file
Rename from Velvet-theos0o#.apk to Velvet.apk
Copy to /system/app and change permissions to RW-/R--/R--
Reboot
Open Search widget and give it a moment to start up
Go into settings->Privacy and accounts-> enable "Search on google.com"

Give it a try! The thread says it should work on any ICS Roms, not just ASOP, but I've only tested it on CM9.

Just FYI guys, it's not supposed to work. This is stated in the OP. Only the Google Now part of the search bar works.

You guys should look at the real Google now thread. At this moment they a working on a fix for the voice issues. If anyone can provide some developmental help. I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated.

I believe this is the topic he is talking about.
However, SilentStormer said regarding voice search.. "Not working:
-Voice search (kernel-specific, we probably won't be able to fix :-\ )"
Hopefully more developmental work proves this wrong!

Yes voice actions doesn't work. Very few things work on aokp 40

It was stated in the OP that Voice search, and consequently its settings would freeze the app. Network Error? Not sure about that because it searches fine for a lot of people :/

Hey, I'm not sure why it would say copy failed.. I used an app called "Root Browser". It failed to copy into /system/app?

Due to a comment made about the .apk by KezraPlanes, who built the ROM I'm using, I'm sure that the installer can be obtained and will probably be installed using RzRecovery, I only asked on this thread to help the OP and myself get an answer.
Don't get me wrong i'm only trying to give you the correct answer ;-)
If apps not are in the ROM where they should be normally you have to flash them in the operating disc.
Another solution would be to copy the right files into the operating system.

You can't install the apk like you can with a user-level app, because this is a system app.
You need to copy the .apk (and the associated .odex file if there is one) directly to /system/app. To that you need to be root, and you need a root-capable file explorer which can re-mount the system partition as writeable. ES File Explorer on the market works fine - check the settings to re-mount the partition as writeable, then copy the file(s) to where they need to be
I believe you can also push the file into /system/app using adb, but that's probably more complicated and risky than using a file explorer on your device.

AOKP Provides a Gapps download for each of their releases which includes the standard google apps (Maps, Gmail, etc..) just flash it in recovery and you are set.
You can also use ES File explorer and extract the specific APKs from the GApps zip and place them directly in your system/apps folder. You just need to make sure you set the permissions to RW R R

You just might have to download from a random site...this site seems decent http://www.apktops.com/google-maps-6-7-0.html
Just install lookout and it will scan the app to make sure it's ok.
Be careful what gapps packages you download. If certain parts are not signed with the same key as the rom, you will break things.
For example, you cannot use BAMF gapps on AOKP.

I pulled that Maps apk from my AOKP so it should be safe to use as per adrynalyne's warning.

Thank you so much im0rtalz; this is awesome. Just installed it on my E4GT running AOKP Build 36 with the FE16 kernel and FE16 modem. It works flawlessly except for one thing: If you try to change the "Wake up command" the app will force close and you'll need to clear cache and data to re-launch S Voice.
Thank you so much again!!!

Are you on ICS? I hearing it's for ICS Roms only, not gingerbread.
worked fine for me, might be the s3 is running 4.0.4 already, observing all the replies on here every1 that has success so far is on a 4.0.4 kernel, might be why, i don't know just guessing
I also tried tar or apk and i get a failed to install message, I'm on stock rooted FE16....

The same thing happened to me. I then moved the apk to system/app using es explorer , did a restart and the app appeared in my program list. It works great. I am using fe16 rom.
EDIT: After using this app for a little while, I found that it was not answering my questions like jayhaper08 was showing in next post. I did have Vlingo installed and it was using it for the searches. Even though the apk says voicetalk it should install as S Voice. I uninstalled Vlingo and was then able to install S voice as a regular apk without having to move it to system/app. I now get correct answers to my questions.
Working and installed fine for me in CM9 Alpha4. Just don't try to change the "Hi Galaxy" wake up phrase. It will force close. Loving it so far.
---Jay--- From the CM9 powered E4GT
Tried to reply on the thread in general but it disappeared. lol
This installs fine on Blu Kuban but only gives a blank black screen when you open it then force closes.
Okay taking into account what jay said about trying to change the "Hi Galaxy" line, which of course I tried to do on install. I uninstalled, then reinstalled and now it's working like a champ!
Thanks im0rtalz and jay!

Try uninstalling then placing in system/app using root explorer and see if that works. I'm thinking about going back to ics Blu Kuban to try this lol

In simple terms; take out the apk from the Gapps package and either cut or copy it. Now, navigate to your ROM's system/app/ directory, and paste the gallery2.apk there. The phone should be booted up the whole time while doing the above. Now, reboot your phone. That's it!

Hyperdrive rom Google search crash

I just installed Hyperdrive rls14 and Google search crashes every time I try to use it.
I've rebooted, reflashed the rom, clean flash, wiped everything, removed Google search with Rom toolbox and reinstalled it fresh from the Play store. Nothing seems to work.
I love the rom, and want to keep it. I use Googe now a ton though, so I'm stuck here.
Google search is a system app so if you use rom toolbox it will not delete it from the system. Using a root explorer go into system apps and delete it. Reboot, this reboot is very important to do. After rebooting the phone go back in using root explorer make sure it's still gone. Then redownload from play store and install.

That didn't do it, either. (I did learn something though,s o thanks
I just noticed that S Voice doesn't work, either. Since Google search uses voice recognition also, could it be an issue with that?
Did you check the MD5 Checksum of the Rom before Flashing ? I would suggest downloading the Rom again. Check the MD5 Checksum to verify a good DL. The Full Wipe, and Flash.

You may be missing chaton or chaton v. I installed this app from the market, S-Voice calls on this app to work. You still needs to follow all the steps listed above to remove google now with a root browser. I used rom toolbox pro and that did the trick for me.
