I was wondering if anyone out there is working on a port of Google Now for the Rezound ICS.. Would love to be able to run this on my pgone, just have no clue how to port anything.
On a side note is anyone working on a JB rom yet either?
last I checked it's not compatible for us. I believe it's strictly for 4.1 cause of the API level unless someone cam.correct me. since you didn't read and search much you could have answered your JB question easily. we don't even have a full stable aosp ics rom yet alone kernel source so JB is a longshot for now
i think it possible indeed
if you will look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvqSR13gpGk this is a review of android 4.1 jelly bean running on galaxy s3. when he tried to open google now, it's showed a message: "google search stopped working". what's mean, that google now is google search application on the android 4.1. what it only need to be, it's get the google search apk from jelly bean rom of galaxy nexus, get the apk code (this is how to get the code of the apk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocVGRtjuD-g), and with the code make an application for the ics and try to install. according to this logic, this very simple to port google now for ice cream sandwich, even gingerbread. i wish this is how it conducted. if yes, it's mean google now for everyone

and after it will succes, developers will can add google now some sources of the siri like applications that develop until now like iris, skyvi, mira, s voice and more, to make google now to answer for questions in cards that if we asked her now, google now will take us automaticly to search results. and then, google now will be the ultimate voice assistant. she still can't answer like that like siri. but after that, google now will destroy siri once and for all!

Tried searching, all I have right now is my phone (no computer currently), which makes filtering/narrowing down a search more difficult. Not necessarily saying aosp, just a developer implementing parts of jb into a current rom for the rezound. Mainly notification inhancements, keyboard, and of course Google Now (if any are possible at this time)......

Someone pulled it from jellybean. It works aside from voice and wifi. Better than nothing I suppose. I tried it and confirm that it partially works.

Did you have to do anything special? I am on rls 3.1.2, but I do not see that file that I am supposed to rename in the system/app directory? No idea why, ut it is not in that directory or anywhere on my phone. (GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk)
Edit: Nevermind. Gave it a shot, and it seems to be working fine.

I'm not sure if you were still trying to get this to work, but I since no one put this answer in this thread, I will.
This voice workaround works pretty nicely. Basically, you replace the search widget with the google now widget, then use ICS's speech to text and push it into the search box for google now.

FYI guys its updated by a user named lenny_kano.. They haven't updated the OP with a new apk, but if you look at the last 10-15 pages you can find the hack and slash method.. Essentially- it works perfectly. Native voice and all (she even reads back the results to you).. pretty freakin awesome.
Flashable Zip
Thanks to fellow Rezound user udz2002, here is a link to the flashable zip that he posted.
Sadly the box account is out of bandwidth. Would be nice if someone who got it , could upload it. Thanks in advance.

I have not tried this on my TF300 yet, but if anyone else has I would be eager to find out how you got on.
Good luck and enjoy
Just installed it, and everything wet smoothly. I have no idea what I am expecting now though, it appears to have just replaced the search bar. Nothing different seems to have happened so far.
Edit: I had to install the modified Velvet-theos0o.apk file in order to get it to work properly. Voice search isn't working but that seems to be a common issue.

if you search factual questions it should now bring up "knowledge cards" with your answer rather than a google search.
Also try holding home and dragging up, it may open "google now" which is supposed to act a bit like your PA and learn your routine
I'm also doing a bigger more widespread port of this over in the android development>apps and games section
We have both a flashable .zip and an .apk. It has a strong effort into getting voice to work. If you want check it out. Go ahead!

Is there any versions out for non-rooted devices? Don't feel too good rooting my new device, would lose the quarantee
Unlocking voids warranty, rooting doesn't.
It says that it requires a "A Rooted device running ICS AOSP Rom". I'm rooted but NOT unlocked and therefore NOT running a custom ROM.
This won't work for me. Right?

Im not 100% sure, but I would imagine that the stock ROM is close enough to AOSP for it to work.
I think it probably would work, but you may want to wait for someone else to confirm

I'm the head of one of the Google Now for ICS projects and you can probably install this normally. Just make sure not to delete your original "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" file. Just rename it and have it on hand to put back if anything goes wrong.

I have it working on Mean Rom 1.3. The difference is that it learns from your searches based on the cards that google has given and future ones they will release, so no its not exactly like regular search.

Yes and no, it actually does use regular search history too. The main thing that makes this awesome is the fact that it actually gathers all the data and presents it to you in a neat and quick format WHEN you need it.
I.E. if I google "results to X game" or something, it will continuously pop that card up throughout the match and at the end with the final result. If you do a quick search like "who's the actor in X film" it pulls up a clean cast list as opposed to googling "imdb cast X film" then clicking on it, and scrolling down the IMDB page/app. It's the little things

Nope. As far as I can tell from what I read, the voice is intertwined with Jellybean's kernel, so it probably won't come to ICS. What you CAN do is use a keyboard to "type" by voice search but you still have to hit search. It also will not speak the query back to you.

Now that we have an effective CM9 for our phone is it possible to use the Google now .apk they've ported from the SIII? I've seen many threads for other phones running CM9 that have Google Now but they all (at least the ones I've seen) involve replacing the stock Google search app. Would we be able to do anything with this or does the fact that we can't alter the apps that come with the from limit us in this way?

I started a thread on this a while ago here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749479
Google now is not fully functional for anything other than Jelly Bean ROMs. Cards work but you cant do a voice search and there are other bugs. There is a small work around for voice search that uses another app from the Play Store but it still is not that great. I have it on my phone. But I rarely ever touch it becasue it just isnt the same without the voice search. Honestly, S Voice from the Galaxy S3 works a lot better.
Okay thanks. I'll give it a try!

Nope. Google Now is part of Jelly Bean. So it is part of CM10. No special instructions needed. This thread was just for getting it on Ice Cream Sandwich.

Not sure if many of you guys are aware of the Google Now search option but it is something similar to Siri. I have this running on Viper 4G and its working pretty well. Also I'm not to sure how often that thread gets updated so I posted the link to the Member that uploaded the flashable zip file.

40 Cool Voice Searches
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHkhp6BwnGo
Hit the thanks button if you like!
Indeed, I feel like Now is something I actually will use as when Siri came out I was like "meh". I have a Nexus 7 and I instinctively ask questions to it instead of searching by text like I normally do. The first time I did this shocked me because I never thought I would be using voice search in this streamlined fashion (not to mention how quick it is).
I know they added a pseudo-voice search for that app now and it's okay but the real thing is awesome. If you can afford to do a nandorid backup and flashing the CM10 build that can be found in the IRC channel -- do it. Just to see how fluid and fast the voice search is. Not to mention how life-like the voice is
EDIT: FORGET WHAT I SAID. Voice search is now working 100% now! Check out the video I made (if you can stand my foreign accent) of the Nexus 7 and our Evo performing side by side:
IT isnt "something similar to siri"....... it runs circles around it !
I've been using it for the last couple of days and it's pretty cool. I have my GPS/location icon hidden in Viper 4G but by looking at the battery usage on my phone, I have a feeling it may be using GPS more often than I'd like. I may have to unhide the icon and watch it. When I had GPS off, it started giving me weather for somewhere in California when I asked how the weather was :laugh:
does any one known if this hack will work with the meanroom?
Im sure it will.. Just do a backup just in case.

I'm not DB13, but you can find the download for CM10 in IRC. It's pretty close to daily driver status for most folks, but I was having a couple of small problems that I couldn't overlook and didn't have the time to figure them out. It's certainly worth the time to flash and play around with.

Voice with the crazy workaround, right? Not native voice input.
Any ways, I was using this for a few days on the stock ROM. I ran into problem with performance and crashing issues afterwards, so I took GoogleNow back off.
It probably would work better on a non-stock/non-SenseUI ROM, but it caused issues for me!

Same here. Voice prompts and response is great. Only issue is general web search response shows a blank card until you swipe up/down and the results then pop in. Small issue but the voice interaction is top-notched!

Hi,
I've installed speedrom on my HTC Amaze, all works great and speedy except I'm finding I am unable to set up my corporate email, although I could with the stock ics rom (with same sim). It is not credentials, domain setting etc, I've done it a million times for different phones, including this one before I flashed it. Gmail set up ok. Is there something perhaps that is being rejected by the exchange server, that it doesn't like about using a custom rom? Has anyone else had success setting up their work email using speedrom? Any suggestions on remedies? I'm really enjoying this rom otherwise. I just hope I can get this fixed, been trying a couple days, must have entered it a dozen times. It times out after a minute on "checking incoming server settings" with the message "can't connect to server", although the server address is correct.
Thanks
David J.
have you tried posting in the speed rom topic section to see if the dev can help? since this seems to be a specific in-query about that rom?
