Hi guys I just got my One X updated to Jellybean (OTA) and realized that the "Google Now" doesnt really work for Asian Devices. Just do the following simple steps to activate google now to its full potential
Step 1: Download play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bruce.setlocale
Step 2: Set your current locale as English (United States) or (UK)
And Bam! Your google now should start working in the google voice search app
Really? Not sure if your JB is from HTC or CM, but my phone uses CM and Google Now works perfectly fine without this.

No this is a problem for the Sense JB
thanks to this guide! Google now works on 3.14.707.24
thanks man! worked like a charm!
Mine just worked from the home button press.
Works perfect for thailand.
Thanks! Ironed out the issue for my HOX Google Now.
Does this fix the problem that google now don't talk? Because it's work fine for me except it's not talking

edit: thanks man, google is talking to me now
This fixes Google Now, but then it changes the keyboard as well. US English is a grayish keyboard, while English (xxxx Asian Country) is a black themed keyboard with no directional arrows (both languages had their arrows turned off, but US English still forced them on). This is my experience, might not be for anyone else.
I'm using English (uk) and it works fine for me. I downloaded more locale 2 from play and just made sure I selected matching languages in both Google now and more locale 2. Having American spelling etc, really didn't appeal to me!

Not sure why yours changed back. Mine remains English US after restart. I just tried.
Thank you so much! It worked magically! Well actually. this also solved my cards problem, which were not appearing in Google now. :cyclops:
And Bam!
Thanks, this worked for my wife's Note 2 a well (didn't have issues with my HOX)
It's working fine for me. The only thing which doesn't work that it DOES NOT talk back. This solution didn't fix it though.

Hey guys my problem is a little different.. Google now just doesn't let me speak at all.. It just keep showing 'retry' every time I tap on the voice icon..
Anyone else with the same problem?

Here it is:

I've extracted from the SGS3 rom leak and uploaded to SS.
It installs fine, it starts off with a delay but after a few minutes it works well. Works with calling and SMS. Seems fine bit buggy but working.
ok and this application is what more or better than vlingo
it is useful to test or not
Thanks for the upload! Some features work, others don't, one problem is though that the apps speech doesn't seem to be the same as shown on the videos, could this be because of lack of Wolfram Alpha or something? (Or am I just talking rubbish lol)
you're talking rubbish...
the voice has nothing to do with the app itself,
it uses which ever is the default tts on the phone,
you want a new voice get a different tts

It works very good, just a slightly bit choppy.
Here is a video

I would highly recommend for everyone to go on the Play Store and install Ivona Amy UK English Beta application, then set it as your default TTS (to do this open the application) S-Voice sounds 10 times better and more natural like this.

I downloaded the one from here

Working flawlessly, GPS is a little off but I think it's because of the One X.
Pretty neat and amazed how it actually works pretty well. Can turn off things like wifi etc...
Awesome but I can't get setting the alarm working

It think S-Voice is actually vlingo since when you authorize Facebook it ask permission for vlingo not S-Voice.
Not bad but I'll stick with AIVC. It works smoother for me and the voice output is much better. The male voice is very nice, hehe.

anyone tried S Voice with the Desire yet?
it installs on ICS so I think it might work
original: http://minus.com/llX3TROSRO4NH
fixed to work on unauthorized devices: http://minus.com/lCWshD37drA9R
Tested it now. Might be best skipping the intro and it fc when trying to change the wake command. Also double tap home didn't work for me either.
Clear data if you have fc on start up. But it does work. Can google search and text etc.

works, but very slowly on AOKP build 35. I will try it later on Sandvolds beta 8.1
It's slow at responding for all machines I think

Works rather fast for me. It fc when I do stuff like 1+1 or something like that. And its slow in opening apps. Sandvold ICS.

i've used the new one for checking the weather for location, sending text and calling - all seems to work well.
I install S-Voice from the apk from frandroid.com
And it works, open apk, understand french language...
I hope this apk will mature quickly
on HTC desire the installaton crash but, after a reboot, it works
nice one!
I do not have a crash during installation.
I'm on ics 4.0.4 bravo cyanogen mod 9 RC 3.4.U1.
And it works.
Does someone test http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673354 on HTC Desire ?
Tried the first APK, but it wasn't for me.
Also it's weird to say 'Hi Galaxy' to desire.
I suggest to wait for a year or so, so that developers can stabilize the system
work
The fix S voice apk and Spanish language works well for me.
I have 2 days with him and I am testing it

Has someone found a solution to let Google Now answer on your question? It just search for an answer on google. (Example: What time is it?)
I have already read the posts for other devices and none of the answers is working for me. I have ARHD 13.0 Jelly Bean Rom from mike1986 on my HTC One X.
(It can be that my English is not always correct.)

Yes, I can ask a question and Google Now put the question on Google and push on search. It doesn't answer the question like I have seen in several YouTube videos.

Your language must be set to US English, but it doesn't matter where you are.
Also, you have to phase your questions with a somewhat specific syntax. Here is a good video showing how:

I do not have those cards in Google Now neither it showed me "I am in" option. When i long press home button it only offers Web voice search, nothing more. Am I doing something wrong?

I skipped the initial set up of Google Now when I upgraded my HTC One X to Jelly Bean. Now I do not get an option to activate Google Now Cards on my phone. I have tried uninstalling updates to Google Search app and updating again from the Play store. I have also changed all my security and privacy settings for Google Now to work. But I do not see any option to switch on Google Now again. I live in UAE. Can anyone help.
