*Root Users only
*Customary your responsible for anything you do to your device I'm posting a tip you either take actions or don't, your actions have nothing to do with me and by proceeding you agree to that
*Knowledge of System Files, Permissions and other general hackabilty is a must
*You have no business attempting this if you don't already completely understand every step.
*Do a Nandroid Backup

Alright Now, Google Now
Follow these instructions and you'll have a working Google now. Once all done and rebooted after opening the app the first time force close it and then your all set.

You don't have to use a computer to unzip the files listed below Root Explorer will suffice

I broke the previous instructions down a little with the few added things I had to so to make it work..maybe a little less confusing for some..maybe not... Thanks goes to gachana for the original instructions and to all the others involved in this that are wayyy smarter than me!
 
Just tried it now! Seams so much better then S voice I may even keep this installed! Thanks for the info on how to install this.
 
I am running a Older version of Apache's Rom with alot of modifications by me. Including removing alot of crap I don't like or never use.
 
Seams like Navigate doesn't work as well as with the older version. Anyone else have this problem also? It will work but not very good at navigating me to where I actually want to go.
 
It use to work with the old ICS voice program but seams not now most of the time.... sometimes works but usually goes and searches web.... and I mostly used that for voice search.... anyone have this problem and or know a fix? maybe i didn't install it correctly, but everything else works. But thing is sometimes it does load the app just not consistant, and it is understanding what i am saying.
 
Actualy noticing that sometimes it will close in the middle of saying something or right after it is done hearing me anyone else having this problem? Maybe I should re-install it.
 
I re-installed it and so far seams that navigating is working now! and sofar hasnt closed on me! So hope its working well now

the swipe up on any screen doesnt work?
Nope not for me at lest, It loads with the search button not really sure why you need a swipe to load when can use a button.
 
Mine seams to work most of the time but sometimes after using it alot starts to have problems. Suddenly close without message, or will just pause or not give normal answer.
