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?
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
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
[HTC Rezound] ravid1323:
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

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

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!
[HTC Rezound] wltnkyl:
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)......

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.

[HTC Rezound] Kelton Rivas:
How in the world did you get a traffic card? I asked Google how traffic was and didn't get a card or a sufficient answer.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Traffic comes up when you have an appointment set up that has an address or a "place" associated with the appointment in your calendar.. It will give you an alert and tell you when it thinks you need to leave depending on traffic. It will also show up if you set your home and work locations from your map app settings.

Test this by creating an appointment in your calendar for an hour or two from now- and make sure you've added an address for the appointment in "where". And again, very important to set up at the very least your "home" location.. Then, wherever you're at, it will usually tell you what it's gonna be like getting home (how many minutes, map, etc).
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
With the V6 do you need to uninstall the "Voice search for Google Now" used as a workaround? or would you still want to keep it on? just curious is all, dont want to mess it up.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Are you talking about v6 as in the app version or your phone (arm) version?

edit: I'll assume you're talking about the apk v6 zip? If you've already flashed a zip, I would recommend you go grab the latest apk by ReekoTubbs over at the main thread (should be in the OP now).. It's pretty much perfect. And no, once you have one of these versions you don't need that "Voice search for Google Now" app. That's the beauty of these new versions.. They are the real deal, no voice workarounds.

If you're talking about your phone version (v6)- thats a diff story- pretty sure those folks are still stuck with the "Voice search for Google Now" workaround.

[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
You don't have to flash the whole zip if that's what you did to get M6. Now that the other files are in place you can just swap out the velvet,apk with a newer one. However, as far as I know, it should have overwritten it. It's probably not necessary but I always wipe the cache and dalvik cache after I switch apks.

You can go into system/app/ and make sure you only have one velvet.apk or GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk (same file, you should only have one or the other).

---------- Post added at 08:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

The services.jar mod will work with M6 or M7 so theoretically it should help with battery on M6 as well. I ran M6 without the mod and am now running M7 with the mod and I can't tell any difference in battery drain so I believe the mod helps. If you know how I would go ahead and do it. Just keep an unmodified copy in case something goes wrong.

Never mind. It was a dumb question.
[HTC Rezound] d.kozzer:
I wish adding sports teams could be done manually. I look at sports via apps (like scoremobile, flipboard) and never search on them. I've done a few searches on the Bears just so they'll show up in GNow, but it never happens. I did one search on the White Sox and they instantly show up. I understand that Google wants it to learn over time, but why not give the ability to add stuff manually?
[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
There's a new version for JB that does let you add them but it hasn't been ported to ICS yet. Football won't show up until the regular season starts.

The first sports team I tried to add was the Braves. I would ask GN the score or the schedule two or three times a day and after about a week the cards started showing up. After that, I did a search for the Rays and the cards started showing up almost immediately. It's not the application, it's Google.

Strange - as I said, I did one search on the White Sox and the cards have been coming since then - through all the ROM flashes and whatnot. I guess I'll find out about the Bears once Sunday arrives and their season starts.

I use Amon Ra... dunno who said you can only use CWM.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
...figuratively, of course. I spent $600 on my One X. SIX. HUNDRED. DOLLARS. Cold hard cash. I also just spent $250 on a Nexus 7 tablet. How the hell does the One X cost more to manufacture than the Nexus 7? Take an international One X for example. Same Tegra 3 as the Nexus 7, same 16gb storage, same 1gb ram, no SD slot like the Nexus... the Nexus has a bigger battery, bigger screen, more actual material cost because well... it's bigger. Only thing the One X has that the Nexus doesn't is a camera and a cell radio. So a tiny camera chip and a cell radio add $300 more to the cost? Nuh uh, I don't think so. I always thought $600 was justifiable all things considered. I mean, the One X is a seriously powerful device and I don't mean spec-wise. You can do a TON of crap with it. But if Asus can sell a Nexus 7 for $250, then there is no way in hell $600 (okay $550 if you don't count tax) is a justifiable cost for the One X. Yeah I know the Nexus 7 is being pushed at practically cost but still, if they can sell it for that low and it still be financially justifiable, you'd think HTC would be able to push the HOX for less than what they are. Just my thoughts on the matter.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BertLingo:
The Nexus 7 doesn't have a carrier behind it, raising the off-contract price to force us into a subsidized plan. Reminds me of the iPod Touch and the iPhone, which have almost the same guts, but the latter costs hundreds more.

An international One X is still $550-$600 with no carrier behind it.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
Google has reported zero profit will come from Nexus 7 (we'll see...) and wouldn't it cost more to create an HD screen that's smaller then one that's a bit larger? Because it has a higher rate of units not passing quality control because it's harder to pack the pixels closer together?

But I agree, overpriced in a sense, $400 would seem more logical. But hell, I paid full price anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BertLingo:
Tablet manufacturers seem to be in a race to the bottom, price wise. That hasn't really happened with phones yet, I guess because there's no overwhelming giant like the iPad in the phone market.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] daneren2005:
They are both called Tegra 3 but they are NOT the same model. As far as I am aware the screen for our phones costs more even though its smaller (higher quality + fitting more in a small space). And though a larger screen might cost more, in general it actually costs more to make the same thing in a smaller package, not less. And as someone has already mentioned Google is probably not making a dime off the actual sale of the device itself, which HTC can't really do.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Yeah I'm sure our screen costs more to manufacture than the 7" one, and yeah smaller things cost more from an engineering standpoint but it can't be THAT much more expensive. I still think all things considered, the cost of these phones is way too high.
