It's for jellybean, and doesn't work with our device yet. I got it installed and it just has network errors and has no Mic support

Are you talking about Google Now? Because that works fine for the inc2 just no mic support. Its running fine on aeroevan cm9 with v10 kernel here

The new voice assistance added into JB, i was wondering if it was possible to be ripped / spliced with ICS

Exactly like rshift said, there is a version for ICS, but it's not optimized whatsoever. Some but not all cards work, and I'm yet to receive a notification fro doing things outside of the house.
To top it all off, no, the voice input and Text to Speech are still broken because of what they think is a kernel issue, so don't expect anything useful/different from your normal Google Search until we get a Jelly Bean port of our own.
However, if you want to try it for yourself, go ahead and look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
The instructions are pretty straightforward, but make sure to create a backup like it says in case something goes wrong.

Google will definitely have to release this for ICS. How many people will even have a phone on 4.1 in the near future.

I just booted up a working version of 4.1 and was super sad to see that Google Now wasn't working yet...But they are working hard to get it going!

Netflix

So the official netflix app is now out but only available on market for nexus s...I can't seem to find the apk but comments on engadget were saying the app worked great on their G2. Has anyone been able to find this? Is it legal to upload here since it is a free app?
Its on market now

That was the issue I had on the non official app a while back. May be because of your region

Yah, I was wondering if anybody's tried the Netflix app on his rom. And yes, it is. It's based off the G2 Gingerbread OTA, if I remember correctly. He hasn't/doesn't post on here.
Gotcha.

Works on G2 Stock but not on CM7
Okay, so here is what I have found out. On my G2 it works on my stock (rooted) rom, but doesn't on CM7.0.0. On CM7 I get about 5-10 seconds of sound with no picture then it exits.
So there must be something in the program that looks at some OS thing. One thing I noticed with CM7 vs STOCK is that market.android.com sees 2 different phones on my google account even though I have only 1 phone.
So the obvious question is can we fake CM7 to be reported as STOCK?
This is weird. I figured it was some incompatability issue with 2.3 but apparently HTC Evo users running CM7 are enjoying them some Netflix. What gives? This app has been confirmed not to work on CM7 for the G2 and I'm running a stock build based off the official OTA and all I get is sound and a white screen. Hopefully a fix comes around soon.....
Yeah I just flashed the new Virtuous Fusion with Sense 3.0 and netflix works on the G2 perfectly. This version is Android 2.3 and I believe the only 2.3 rom so far for the G2 confirmed to have netflix working besides stock 2.2. So it can't be that the netflix app is looking at the OS version. I would imagine the requirement to play netflix is something developers will easily be able to figure out and implement on roms from here on out.

Sounds to me it's AOSP gingerbread it has a problem with.
Just installed and tried it out on my G2 running CM7.0.2. Same problem as others, works great, I can start watching, get audio with no video, then drops me back at the main page after a few seconds.

Virtuous v1.0.1 also doesn't work
Just check the Virtuous v1.0.1 ROM on my G2 and it failed to work.

[Q] Google Now for HTC One X?

Recently Google has released Android 4.1 JB with Google Now feature. Can anyone port it to our device? I have been doing some searching through the 4rum and I can only find GNow for Aosp Roms. Thankz
Not yet. Someone has ported the apk and the voice part doesn't work yet due to jb dependencies. Needs to be recompiled for ics so maybe a few weeks at the least.

I've just tried to install it on my HOX (faux kernel, ARHD7.1), using install procedure and APK from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045
It installed just fine. Even opens (though no swipe from bottom to activate it (as expected) from widget.
But doesn't really work since it can't hear me - Immediately fails when pressing the mic button.
When going to config -> voice, it crashes.
But the real bummer is that it can't find the network! Well that's unexpected, since Android finds it just fine... Perhaps it uses a different 'channel', only available on JB? But then it wouldn't work on ICS AOSP...
update
Ok... It does find it (the network) just fine when searching using text input.
It only doesn't show the Google Now <badges/boards/panels>. Upon opening it gives a toast about the network. Upon clicking 'update', nothing happens.
So it's only a search replacement (with no voice)
But I want to use it for the Google Now features... I installed 4.1 on my GN and it's amazing I want that on my main HOX!
Looking for this too
My one x has been updated to JB, and i can't find Google Now feature...

Install Google Now on rooted ICS

I looked through and did a couple searches and didn't see anything about this on the Galaxy Nexus forums so I figured I would share it here for anyone wanting to try it. You must be rooted and on an AOSP based ROM. Voice isnt working yet but other than that it's working fine for me.
http://lifehacker.com/5923288/get-google-now-on-your-rooted-ice-cream-sandwich-phone
Good find. Useful for people who require an app for their day to day that hasn't been updated to JB yet, or those unwilling to lose their favorite ROM's features.
Otherwise, you're better off upgrading to JB
I'm holding out for AOKP, hopefully it doesn't take them too long to integrate JB after the source is released.

I also get a toast message when I open the app that says "Network error. Check your connection." But it functions just fine, there is no missing data connection or anything. Is that what you are refering to? You get the message but it works anyway, right?
it doesn't work with the network error.

Sound Search Widget...aka Google Ears

Am I missing something? Everything I read, says it comes with Jelly Bean, but I have yet to find it on my phone. I have found some mirrored apks for it, but didnt want to install them if I'm just over looking it on my phone. Anyone have any info on this?

Nah, it comes with 4.1+ I had it on CM10 on my Atrix forever ago. It just seems it was taken out of our build of Jelly Bean for whatever reason.
After a little research it seems that they don't include it in 4.1 very often and sometimes it is frozen. You can try the apk from here (that is the 4.2 version):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742652
but it may still be frozen after installing and the only way to unfreeze it is to use TiBu or something.
edit: this old version might work better. It says no root required on it.

Which I downloaded and installed and got the Sound Search widget with.
This functionality is in the latest version of Google Now. Just open Google Now and say "what song is this?"

Also provide the hyperlink to the explanation/download page if you would be so kind for other users.
I'm still running the old Stock GB AT&T Rom, since it has no bugs, is smooth enough for me and doesn't need regular updates.
But as soon as Jellybean becomes Issueless, im sure to update my OS, altough it is its current state no where near a daily driver for me :< .
I use lite rom, is not in the list. is a great rom. I like JB but still i cant use as a daily

The rom developers say that the Skype issue is a issue with JB, maybe one of them will do a workaround?
I tinkered with JB and there were some issues with it that didn't make it a DD for me just yet. I think I will end up with a LiteRom style ICS ROM until JB gets ironed out.

So no daily driver for me. I'm thinking of buying another phone to keep it as a daily, people have started complaining about my phone being unreachable most of the times.

You'll probably be waiting a very long time, as jb isn't 100% on any device. Its daily driver ready now. If your talking about Skype, that's not an issue, its an I wish. No one can make it compatible with every app on the market.

Yes, the rom is very fast and stable, but they say that the problem is not only skype, is in all app that makes call over wifi, for me for example, i use magicjack a lot. For a lot of people is ready to use as daily, but for other not for that issue.
But still the rom is great, i try it one day and like it a lot.

i would be happy with 85-90%... wish or not, having something work with atleast the popular apps is something to shoot for... that would be like he i made this rom for you all, you can use all the stock apps, look in the app store, but hey none of them work if you install them... kinda defeats the purpose...
before you start your rant, i can care less if skype works on the phone...

dman, it's not a problem with Skype, it's a problem in the ROM or kernel... if any app has the microphone open, ALL playback is distorted.
If you don't see it as a priority, that's allright, we understand. But this denial is insulting.

Enjoying using dman's JB but gotta take it off later this month when driving more. As a Californian with the handsfree law, without Bluetooth it's too awkward have use as a literal daily "driver" (oh the irony)
I'm on DMAN's UCLH2 ICS as a daily.
Tried a few jelly bean roms. If only there was a JB rom where the blutooth and camera worked I would be happy enough to use it as a daily.
I've been using Dman's PACMAN Rom pretty much since it came out Dec 17. With Covenant Kernel v3 and thegreatergood's work with keyboard lights, everything on my ROM seems to function.
I flashed recently to the new JB LiteKernel (Jan13) and everything is working like a treat. The only reason I left ICS is because I got tired of waiting for GPS to lock.
The only issues I have :
Some apps disappear after reboot, in Titanium backup I choose the option to move the app to internal storage and it stays.
Audio plays back way slow in Google Now, Skype, and RingCentral (roothorick is right, there is an issue in the rom or kernel.)
Takes a few clicks of the power button to get the phone to wake up for me and the screen to turn on.
Physical Keyboard in Browser, can't use any symbols or numbers.. real pain when entering passwords having to use virtual keyboard.
Battery .. I'm lucky to get 12 hours out of a charge. When I'm on the ski hill with everything disabled except GPS and AlpineReplay, I get great usage... Maybe its that I have 2 email accounts on Push or wifi is turned on all day long... on my Galaxy Ace, though, I'd get 17 - 20 hours no problem.
- Panoramic Camera works,
- Bluetooth works (and after a reboot I still see my pairings)
- Keyboard lights and bln lights work.
- All keyboard keys work exempt www. and .com which is documented.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the apps that disappear have something to do with the storage mounting... everything worked in is when the interal sd was /sdcard and external was /sdcard/external_sdcard .. Though this was in ICS, and I'm not a dev I can't confirm ... but I Just have a feeling.. perhaps bluetooth is in this as well ?
I played with rootbox, but some of the display settings (creating an mms with the phone in landscape I couldn't see the text box).
I've used LiquidSmooth and CAMP but I don't like that the battery stats weren't working.
I had used CM10 beta, liked it before switching to PAC but I really enjoy all the additional features of PACMAN vs. CM10 so ... here I am
