Just installed google now online version on MTDEV cm9. Initially opened without a problem and I was able to get through the setup dialogues. After that it would crash as soon as it opened despite rebooting and freeing up extra space in the system folder. Anyone find a way to get Now to work?

I've been trying all day, no dice. I thought it might have been space (Not it). I cleared space. I thought maybe it was just the speech function overall, I installed S voice, which worked ( I just don't like it). I don't know what's the problem. It USED to work.

You need to free up the extra space in the system folder before flashing GoogleNow. Probably best to start from a clean ROM+Gapps install, but it might work to reflash GoogleNow and wipe your caches.

The 10/28 version came with GoogleNow already installed. It was not included starting with the 11/12 version.

It does work with new build...need the online version listed on xda and have to clear a lot of space...also make sure to remove the old Google search apk... reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik... reboot and enjoy!
PS; I think you need at least 10 mb for it to work...the More you clear the smoother it runs

I'll give that a whirl. Running the 11/13 version of MTdev CM9... Btw, it seems to load things super slowly compared to cm7
What's up? Over the weekend, while I was working on CM10, I was running into a problem with google play not installing, or so I thought. After messing around for quite a while, I happened to notice that there was only 7.2KB free in /system. So after removing everything I could, including the keyboard, launcher, ringtones, fonts, and more, and removing the 7MB doc viewer from gapps, I still can't get it all to fit. I tried to find the smallest launcher and keyboard I could since the originals take up about 40MB, but even installing replacements so they were installed on /data and then removing the original keyboard and launcher it still wasn't enough. I now have play but only have 8.9KB free and everything still didn't get installed.
So, the moral of the story is that, when you flash a zip in CWM recovery, it doesn't error out or even tell you that you ran out of space. It just skips to the next thing that it can do, like fixing permissions and such, then finishes. More than likely, the problems with which one you flash first is because you are running out of space.
I hope this helps, and maybe puts some things in perspective for those that are wondering why it is not working. I'm gonna see if I can put together a special Gapps that will install to a folder in /data and then symlink everything to /system, but I don't even know if it will be possible.

Well the symlinking worked, at least for CM10, and I have 26MB free still after install, Google Now is working sweet. I'll start a new thread with modified Gapps so that it won't matter which order you install them, and after I look at the Google Now zip, I may make a modified zip for that as well. I don't think there will be any issues with Google as I am not changing any of their files just the installation and destination of said files. I'll try to put together versions for CM9 and CM10.
I found that when I am in cards, I can click settings and select refresh and that will take me to home.
