Nice!

Works good on my AT&T SGSII running AOKP.

Same things everyone else is experiencing of course with FC's on voice-related things. Also have to swipe on the results area to show web results after initially searching.

Forgot to ask, is there a way to change the weather from Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Thanks, working okay so far.
[HTC Sensation] caketime:
Hmmm not sure what the problem would be other than directions, sorry.
[HTC Sensation] crowboth:
Confirmed that it is working with AOKP Build 40. Directions on Post #392 were clear as day. Thank you to all who are working on this project.
[HTC Sensation] rainabba:
Wow, and that post was helpful how? You might imagine that either people don't realize the reports are coming in and so they're trying to be helpful, OR they're reporting (like I did) with additional details so that a pattern might be identified.

Not only was your post useless, but it was obnoxious with that huge font. Grow up.
[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
It's not bashing. it's simply saying "at least read a page or 2 before your post and then post"

Because in cases where the stuff was just explained right above your post it clutters the thread.

then when you have people looking for answers you can't find it because it's buried in 95 pages of "Voice doesn't work guys" posts or "I followed the directions correctly and it still doesn't work" or "Does this work on SENSE" type posts that were unneeded.

That's all he's saying. Don't be so EMO about it. He's right.

T-Mobile Galaxy S3

Hi has anyone had any luck with the Samsung Galaxy S3 from t-mobile? I ran into the same issues as a lot of people on this board installing Google Now. Also, is Google Now any better then Samsung's S-Voice? Thanks.

[HTC Sensation] nickriley:
Thanks anyway.. I have just flashed the ROM on top of the old one.. everything's back to normal. I guess I had to do that from the beginning

:D
[HTC Sensation] whosgotlag:
It will be, but currently as there's no voice input or output it's not.
[HTC Sensation] ThePatio:
Works for me on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Canada.
[HTC Sensation] Cubed Guru:
Not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but it also kinda works (sometimes) on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 running CM9 Kang.

Tried on the Sensation with the Extreme AOSP rom and it worked as all mentioned....

Although pretty cool, I will just wait the awesome people at XDA keep doing their magic to have a working version and then go to AOSP Rom.

Thanks again.

Edit: Got beat by a post. LOL. ^^^^^
[HTC Sensation] a1cshowoff:
Completely disagree. This thread is 23 pages long... I just looked at the last 5, and I'd say a good 90% are asking if voice works. Not only was the huge font needed, I wish we could put up a popup (or 50,) saying *VOICE DOES NOT WORK, CLICK HERE IF YOU UNDERSTAND* since nobody can be bothered to read ANY post from ANY page.

Bull**** like this is the reason most the good devs start their own thing and avoid XDA like the plague.
[HTC Sensation] deeje2:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.view.View.setBackground Error

I was getting this error too. Every time I started the app (from draw or search widget) I'd get a FC.

Although I believe I've found which card was causing the error: Traffic.

I managed to disable it like this:

Click the microphone on the search widget

Watch it fail as it doesn't work yet

Hit the menu button --> Settings --> Now cards

From in here you can disable Traffic

Back all the way out

Retry the app, and it should function correctly
[HTC Sensation] averymlewis:
I don't have time to try it right now but to those working on getting voice functional we need to find a way to intergrate Velvet Apk and OEM so that it pulls the information because the odex file is 5MB and I believe thats why its malfunctioning.
[HTC Sensation] waxcatharsis:
Say a certain dumba$$ did install the apk and then pushed it to system apps. What then? I'm getting a network error with no tiles or voice.
[HTC Sensation] YoSoy7:
Instale en LG-Thrill con Android 2.3.5

Estimado el procedimineto con un Android 2.3.5 varia en:

Open Root Explorer & navigate to /system

Now Open build.prop in Text Editor.

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

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

Now reboot & install the app from the download link.

Now edit build.prop & change ro.build.version.sdk = 10 & reboot.

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

Ahora unque tengo los mismos iconos, esta intalado el motor actualizado, las busquedas son precisas.
[HTC Sensation] rekh127:
I'm not sure if this will clean everything up properly, but like you I installed it (it does say install in the instructions). I just redid it again with the rename and when I rebooted my phone I got the "optimizing applications" and it now appears to be working more or less fine. No voice as you should be expecting. It also seems to be rather unstable, but thats the impresion I got from the video anyways.
[HTC Sensation] amsterdam88:
Does it only support the english language?

Is the italian language supported?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] dafoxs:
I changed the 15 to 16, rebooted, pushed the apk to system/app folder, rebooted, changed the 16 back to 15, it didn't work then. After several reboots, it started working fine.

Not sure if this has anything to do with it, I unistalled speektoit and reinstalled it.
[HTC Sensation] dafoxs:

[HTC Sensation] oddsbodkins:
Installed on Captivate with CM9 nightly builds

Thanks for the chance to give Google Now a whirl!

I did need a few apps from the market that you probably take for granted:

1.) BuildPrep Editor

2). Root Explorer

Then again, maybe you are happier in the console and have no need for such frippery.

At first I saw some background graphic loading behind the standard Google search bar.. but then it all turned to gray (except for the search bar) and never came back.

Hit me back if any of you'uns out there have better luck.
[HTC Sensation] Koogly:
I am sorry but i am getting "didn't catch that. try speaking again" and a retry option everytime can anyone help me please!
[HTC Sensation] dafoxs:
That's as far as we all get at first. Try just typing what you want in the search bar
[HTC Sensation] Koogly:

[HTC Sensation] InfantryMarc:
just a tip that worked for me to get it working. after rebooting and changing the build.prop reboot back into recovery and go and fix permissions. i did that and it worked first time for me. voice still doesnt work but ive been looking through various threads and no one has a fix for that so far. it is a little bit laggy at times on searching but its to be expected with something not fully 100% functional. i also wiped davlik and data cache just to be on the safe side.
[HTC Sensation] AKZam:
Works for me on CM9 / i9100 GS2 in Australia. Obviously no voice search (hurr durr), but looks really promising. Will leave on the phone to see how it evolves with pending searches.

Only worked after manually changing the permissions in root explorer - wiping delvik cache and fixing permissions via CWM did not kick it into gear as some have commented did for them.

Great work guys!

EDIT: Do get hangs / timeouts it seems. Sometimes works flawlessly, sometimes does nothing and I have to close it with the home button. Will be interested to see how it progresses.

Did u download the one from the op or the other one from page 15? Try using the theos0s version. U also don't have to edit the build.prop just push it to the system/app and rename it to googlequicksearchbox.apk u have to delete or rename the existing one then reboot and it should work sans voice.

Voice search is working?
[HTC Sensation] thenimboo:
How do I uninstall it? I changed that file back from ending in .apk1 to .apk and now I have my regular search back, and voice search back, but I'm still wondering if there is a lurking file that I installed that I should uninstall. I can't find a program called velvet in the app manager...what is it called?
[HTC Sensation] PrinterElf:
Voice Search, not yet - I'm guessing it uses some of the other libraries which aren't present. Will try more thoroughly when I'm not in work!
[HTC Sensation] TAT1980:
and can you tell how and which app you have chosen? pls

i try out the first one. first it looks great, after a reboot, it always crashes,

smbd run it on HTC desire (rooted with ICS). Weather card is only working=/

nice work bro!!!!
[HTC Sensation] leafsacc:
Hi, I followed OP's post exactly. Works for me.

Confirmed - Voice Search is broken.

Confirmed - a little laggy, but it works!

The original download link in the OP's post also works.

This is the only reason why I'm buying Jelly Bean Nexus 7. If this works perfectly on my Note, I might hold off on the Nexus 7 for a bit.

I didn't get the setup page however.

Offtopic, anyone missing the "search within thread" button? (Nevermind, I found it, but still not working at the moment). <--It's the only tool I have as a newb.
[HTC Sensation] zaxondis:
Sense is a go! (At least for me)

Installed following the instructions in the OP and got it working on a Sense 4.0 ROM. (No voice of course)

Works just as well as it did for me when I was running CM9.

Not sure if this has been asked, but how do you get some of the other cards to show up like Next Appointment? I only get the search history and Weather.

Epic 4g (Galaxy S) CM9 - Works (no voice, of course)

Couldn't get the OP download to work - got "network error", but the Velvet-theos0o.apk (page 15 of this thread) worked like a champ.

Same voice issue as everyone, of course, but the cards and text search seem to be reliable and usually pretty quick (sometimes there's a little lag).

Not bad at all for the first shot at bringing this app down from JB - thanks devs!

Thanks for the help...
[HTC Sensation] MrMakeveli:
That would be because voice is not currently working. If you had read any page of this entire thread you would have seen that. Type in what you want and see if it works. This is it's current working state, there is NO voice.

I'm not sure how much clearer OP can make it.
[HTC Sensation] Gossamer1:
voice isn't working :eek:

had to say it because I did read every post from the start about this.

it's running on my brothers Nexus that has a port of JB and everything works including voice.

My question relates to is there really any benefit to upgrading to Now since the voice feature doesn't work?

It seems the biggest feature/convenience is the voice feature.

Yeah it does some cool things but other than the real diehards that need the very latest and greatest asap, what does it bring to the table without having that key feature?
[HTC Sensation] zaxondis:
Try messing with the settings. You need to be sure the app is allowed to access things like your calendar and search history and such. That's how you'll get cards to show up.

Samsung galaxy Note offical Rom and root

Hi,

I´ve read a lot about the google now app for ICS and now I´m very confused.

Most of the time I read that I can only use the apk if I have a AOSP Rom but some times people say there is a apk which work on all Roms.

I don´t want to flash my Galaxy Note, because satisfied whit it and don´t want another operating system

It seems like that the apk from post 15 is the right one for me, but I´m not sure and I don´t want to brick my phone because it´s new

so I ask

could I install Google now on my german Samsung Galaxy Note which has root and the original ICS from Samsung (I´d upgraded with Kies)

thanks for any help
[HTC Sensation] katiepea:
might want to try posting that question in the samsung galaxy note forums, but as far as i can tell this is working on all AOSP ICS roms. it's not like it's going to cause your note not to boot anyway, backup just to be a grillion % sure, try it out. if it doesn't work delete it.
[HTC Sensation] TheBr0ken:
I have it running on an ICS Sense ROM and it works just fine, minus the obvious voice issue. Make a backup of your Google search apk and give it a go. Just make sure you follow the installation instructions, cause it didn't work until I decided to read it and follow it
[HTC Sensation] jbr05ki:

You make sure you placed it in the system folder or did you install it?

For people that are complaining about voice, please read the first post, it clearly states that only Text works. No speech works at the moment.

I don't think it would work on ICS the google now now app is in google play shop and refuses to instal cos it isn't the version it needs. probably the jelly bean kernel ported it could be downloaded off the play store.

[HTC Sensation] Knobibrot:
Well I made the experience, that the search result cards only show up if your system language is English (US).

I can see the traffic and Weather cards in German but I won't get the search result cards. So, yeah - it's a language thing.

EDIT: I don't see any pictures in the search result cards. Am I the only one with that bug? (Samsung Galaxy S i9000 - Slim ICS)

If you would search the topic, you would know.

No, you're not the only one with the bug. Enable the "use Google.com search results" options and enjoy the pictures that will appear.
[HTC Sensation] Knobibrot:
I would like to search, but the "search topic" button is gone.

Then please accept my apologies :). Perhaps they temporarily removed it because of the server load it caused, since XDA was having some issues lately.

Anyway, can you see pictures now?

Mostly works

I'm running the Eclipse 1.1 ICS ROM on my Droid Razr. It appears as though the Google Now app 'works' but it seems to have issues accessing my microphone. Also, every time I open it, it gives me a 'Network Error, check your network settings' pop up. If i try to manually start the voice portion, it *dings* as though it is initializing, then immediately makes a failing *ding* sound, closes the voice portion of the app and gives a message "Didn't catch that. Try speaking again. Retry"

Anyone else getting something similar?
