When is google now triggered to tell me the time for my drive to work and back home? How exactly does Google Now know where I work as well? I don't recall ever telling google where I work... kinda strange. It seems to know my work schedule and just tells me the traffic to work. I don't use the app and ask "whats the traffic to work", just a notification pops up saying the traffic.

Now on Bravo JB

I'm running CM10 on my moto Bravo. Whenever I try to initialize Now from the lock screen it tells me there is a network error. any suggestions for this jelly bean build
[HTC Sensation] furqan79:
hi all i just want to confirm that is it working on on vipers rom.......:confused:
[HTC Sensation] buzzboy:
You'll need to ask in your relevant Rom thread, as this particular Modification is intended for I.C.S Roms only.

CM10 should be able to run Google Now natively.

Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] cadarn07:
That's a big part of what Google Now is. Opting in to it allows it to track that info so that it can give you relevant info. So it tracks where you drive and when (Google Latitude is where you tell it where your Home and Work are - which is kept private) and once it learns when you usually leave for work or for home, it triggers traffic info. It also uses your Google searches to trigger cards as well - such as if you search travel info for a certain destination.

You can toggle which cards/notifications show in the settings but I think Google still tracks all of that information as long as you are opted in to G Now.
[HTC Sensation] bsoplinger:
Not sure if I should post here or the other Google Now thread...

On the subject of cards...

There is a city bus stop right outside my house. I got a card with the bus schedule for the 3 bus routes that stop at it without doing anything. Yet another card that automagically appears. Not sure if one can make it appear by asking some magic phase though.

That's a 'workaround' rather than 'they got it working', sadly. Also the additional app you need has been removed from the Play store, so if you don't have it already, unlucky!

I can't wait to have it working properly though. I saw it native on a Nexus 7 today and it was awesome!!

Hi there,

I installed the BCM-RC4.1U2 ROM on my N1 and it's working well. But when trying to save after edit build.prop, it won't save and got error message saying "impossible to save change". On my file explorer setting, it says that my phone is not rooted.

So are people working on making this app more akin to the full Google Now, or has it been established that this is as far as this *Google Now* will go on a non 4.1 device?

Also thanks a million for getting this bad boy to us ICS users.

Now I'm getting consistent crashes. Not seeing any talk of how to get this fixed.

Sorry for the delayed post. Was up late last night trying to get it to work. I had the network error myself.

It does act a little funny here and there, but it is functioning properly!

Voice not being recognized

Hello sir(s),

My device is Optimus 2X. It runs on Nova HD ROM -- ICS 4.0.4. I installed Google Now using the instructions from the main thread. I installed the offline+online zip.

Everything works fine except that the app takes too long/doesn't at all, recognize my voice.

Are there any fixes for this?

I am sorry if this question has been posted already. I am pretty new to the forum, and it would be great if someone answered my query,

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] rasaam:
Ok Guys, i think it works almost fine.

I put it on Samsung Galaxy S with ISC333 4.0.4 rom Kernell Semaphore 1.3s

It shows me a card with a weather, also when i placed a meeting in my calendar with a place it shows me a card with all the info about it, small map and a possibility to navigate.

But!

What doesn't seem to work is it's most fantastic function whis is doing staff when asked - and i do not mean voice- i knew it's not working before i installed it - i mean writing it in it by hand.

On a command - how tall is eric clapton - i get normal google search about it. On command set allarm - again google search and the result is allarm clocks advertisment.

Maybe i have done something wrong, maybe it is somewhere in settings i don't know.

But if it is how it works, it still seems like it is not what google now is about. And i don;t need voice - i can type.

For now it seems to me like it is just a little bit nicer google search and nothing else....

Worked for a while on Desire HD

Just some feedback in case anyone's interested, worked on my HTC Desire HD (running Blackout ICS, Sense 3.6) perfectly (minus voice search of course), for a few days, then it suddenly stopped worked with the friendly yet annoying "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped" message. Strangely though I can clear the cache and force stop it, set it up again and it works briefly, then suddenly crashes, I suspect it's trying to load a particular card and FC'ing on that. Was awesome for a while though, guess I need a JellyBean phone.

Reading on page 22 now, so forgive me if I'm posting a double questing.

Allready tried to undo the installation (the steps from the OP in reverse) but I don't get my data connection back.

Google Now without data plan?

Currently (and for 14 more months) I am stuck on a smartphone with no data plan!! I was just wondering: is Google Now relevant and useful at all without a data plan?

anybody want to be the guinea pig to try this on a sensation with the new ARHD 7.0 and report battery usage. that is the only thing making me hesitant on trying google now. i don't think it's usage would outweigh the additional battery drain.
[HTC Sensation] cajunflavoredbob:
Why not be your own guinea pig?
[HTC Sensation] donjuan81:
because from what i've read (i know you can't take it for 100% truth), google now decreases battery life. personally, i hold battery life at a higher importance than having google now. if you are going to be comparing figures, you need to have a constant. ideally, you should have 2 brand new batteries in 2 identically set-up phones (same ROM, same kernel, same apps, etc.) and the only difference would be that one would have google now and the other does not. while that is difficult to reproduce, the next best way would be to gather data from several individuals with as many similarities as possible and then look at the average.

Make sure you're not "installing" the apk. As with most other system apps, you need to push or copy the apk file directly into /system/app . You then need to change permissions to match the other apks in that directory. Then reboot.
