Ok. I've just confirmed this on my phone
With a root browser copy the apk to the /system/app dir
Then change permissions to the same as the other system apps
Reboot

If you need root browser, open es file explorer and enable root settings and make sure you mount rw in the settings as well.

It basically replaces search.
Hit the google search bar on home screen to get started. Also when you hit the mic on the google bar you have the option to select google now for default. Not sure if that is exactly what pops up, but its along those lines. Hope you like it.

It's not a problem with the rom. You, like me and a few others got phones with bad accelerometer's(the sensor that makes our screen rotate) there isn't much you can do about it. I thought I found a fix, it seemed like it worked, but after a while my screen locked up again. It's a hardware problem so I would suggest returning phone to stock, and then bringing it back to metro for an exchange.

I wrote about it here:
