i did manage to get it working, though it sais connection error at start. anyway, it does work when searching for something, but its really slow and doest show images like in the video posted in the OP (googled the same things).

and OP pls put it in the thread title or at least in the first post that voice search does not yet work!

Hello!

I've installed everywhing, and the "Search" feature is working greatly!

There's only one issue which doesn't work. As I press the "Voice recognition" button (small microphone), it starts detecting my voice but

instantly

stops listening, asking me to "Try again".

Has anyone had this problem, or knows how to solve it? Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: Same as below. Voice rec. needs fixing.
[HTC Sensation] averymlewis:
Okay so I have it on my Galaxy s3 Stock with Root. Typed searches work. Whenever I try to use voice though I get this message. "Didn't catch that. Try Speaking again." However I can still use my old Voice search normally. So now we have to work on the voice input. Also if you use the new versions and click on settings you can not click on the tab Voice, but you can click on phone search. I think we're missing the voice file.
[HTC Sensation] stevesoup:
upon pushing the button to speak I am immediately greeted with, didn't catch that trying speaking again. any suggestions?

HELP! can't reboot my galaxy s2 after step 5.

1. Open Root Explorer & navigate to /system

2. Now Open build.prop in Text Editor.

3. Edit ro.build.version.sdk = 16 & save.

4. Now go to /system/app & Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk1

5. Now reboot & install the app from the download link.

Reboot, then instead of tapping on the apk in Root Explorer, just place it into /system/app, set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. That should do it.

OK the app does not work with voice. When you press the mic it will appear that it is working. The app is dependent on files not part of ics build. So its the app and the phone. Voice will never work until the jelly bean source is released.
