You may have already seen this but if not, XDA member febcyv has managed to get google now working with ICS.
Link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045
I have not tried this on my TF300 yet, but if anyone else has I would be eager to find out how you got on.
Good luck and enjoy
Just installed it, and everything wet smoothly. I have no idea what I am expecting now though, it appears to have just replaced the search bar. Nothing different seems to have happened so far.
Edit: I had to install the modified Velvet-theos0o.apk file in order to get it to work properly. Voice search isn't working but that seems to be a common issue.

if you search factual questions it should now bring up "knowledge cards" with your answer rather than a google search.
Also try holding home and dragging up, it may open "google now" which is supposed to act a bit like your PA and learn your routine
I'm also doing a bigger more widespread port of this over in the android development>apps and games section
We have both a flashable .zip and an .apk. It has a strong effort into getting voice to work. If you want check it out. Go ahead!

Thanks! I'll keep an eye on it
Is there any versions out for non-rooted devices? Don't feel too good rooting my new device, would lose the quarantee
Unlocking voids warranty, rooting doesn't.
It says that it requires a "A Rooted device running ICS AOSP Rom". I'm rooted but NOT unlocked and therefore NOT running a custom ROM.
This won't work for me. Right?

Im not 100% sure, but I would imagine that the stock ROM is close enough to AOSP for it to work.
I think it probably would work, but you may want to wait for someone else to confirm

I'm the head of one of the Google Now for ICS projects and you can probably install this normally. Just make sure not to delete your original "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" file. Just rename it and have it on hand to put back if anything goes wrong.

if i were to root my S2 will i still be able to get the upgrade when 4.0 is release?
If you root your phone and learn how to flash roms, you'll almost guaranteed be able to put ICS on it long before it's released for this phone.

but would the rooted ROM have the same features as the "stock upgrade"? because i know some of the customize rom have glitches in them most of the time
Yes it would work. To what level and how smoothly it works would be up to you for what you would be willing to try out.
While that may not seem like the answer you were looking for, let me put it this way. When I had the captivate and they finally updated it with official 2.2 (froyo) there were already great 2.3 (gingerbread) roms available that worked amazing.
And the same story with the updates from 2.1 to 2.2.
Sure if you don't modify your phone at all, over-the-air (ota) updates will for sure work. But you can revert your phone back to stock (from a custom rom) to be able to receive those updates, whenever they decide to release them, anytime you want.

I think yes. There is rooted stock rom with all ATT and Google stuff in it.
So you should be able to update with this rom.

I think you will have a better chance to get upgrade to ICS earlier.
Yeah, as said earlier, AT&T official updates often lag by one major version, best case. Look at the Captivate.
Froyo after I9000 got GB, GB still unavailable.
Just like the Captivate and the I9000, the I9100 is our "International brother" and stuff can be ported rapidly.
Depending on the state of Samsung's ICS kernel source release, it may take only a few days for a 95% functional ICS ROM to become available for I777. (Longer if they leave out the MAX8922 driver...)

Does that mean it will be like you never rooted it or is that just another rom that mimic the OEM stuff. Or is that the same thing?
Thanks

There's a reason there is a FAQ thread stickied in the General forums...
We are not here to hold your hand for things that are so easy to find they are in a sticky thread marked FAQ.
I was wondering if anyone out there is working on a port of Google Now for the Rezound ICS.. Would love to be able to run this on my pgone, just have no clue how to port anything.
On a side note is anyone working on a JB rom yet either?
last I checked it's not compatible for us. I believe it's strictly for 4.1 cause of the API level unless someone cam.correct me. since you didn't read and search much you could have answered your JB question easily. we don't even have a full stable aosp ics rom yet alone kernel source so JB is a longshot for now
i think it possible indeed
if you will look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvqSR13gpGk this is a review of android 4.1 jelly bean running on galaxy s3. when he tried to open google now, it's showed a message: "google search stopped working". what's mean, that google now is google search application on the android 4.1. what it only need to be, it's get the google search apk from jelly bean rom of galaxy nexus, get the apk code (this is how to get the code of the apk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocVGRtjuD-g), and with the code make an application for the ics and try to install. according to this logic, this very simple to port google now for ice cream sandwich, even gingerbread. i wish this is how it conducted. if yes, it's mean google now for everyone
---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------
and after it will succes, developers will can add google now some sources of the siri like applications that develop until now like iris, skyvi, mira, s voice and more, to make google now to answer for questions in cards that if we asked her now, google now will take us automaticly to search results. and then, google now will be the ultimate voice assistant. she still can't answer like that like siri. but after that, google now will destroy siri once and for all!

Tried searching, all I have right now is my phone (no computer currently), which makes filtering/narrowing down a search more difficult. Not necessarily saying aosp, just a developer implementing parts of jb into a current rom for the rezound. Mainly notification inhancements, keyboard, and of course Google Now (if any are possible at this time)......

Did you have to do anything special? I am on rls 3.1.2, but I do not see that file that I am supposed to rename in the system/app directory? No idea why, ut it is not in that directory or anywhere on my phone. (GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk)
Edit: Nevermind. Gave it a shot, and it seems to be working fine.

I'm not sure if you were still trying to get this to work, but I since no one put this answer in this thread, I will.
This voice workaround works pretty nicely. Basically, you replace the search widget with the google now widget, then use ICS's speech to text and push it into the search box for google now.

Have fun!
FYI guys its updated by a user named lenny_kano.. They haven't updated the OP with a new apk, but if you look at the last 10-15 pages you can find the hack and slash method.. Essentially- it works perfectly. Native voice and all (she even reads back the results to you).. pretty freakin awesome.

Hi guys
I've had a look around and understand that I'll need to edit the 'build prop' so that my device is recognised as another phone in order to have a more widespread choice of apps.
I want to install Need for Speed most wanted but the application cannot be found in the Play store and installing via the web based Play store is not allowed due to the app not being supported.
It makes me wonder how many other apps I could be missing out on!
Would anyone be able to recommend the changes to make as I don't want to make any mistakes and also how to go about making changes - I know this currently can't be done via a file explorer and probably has to be done via recovery.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I am guessing that whether stock or rooted, by installing apps from unknown sources, you are betting (praying, might also help) that some nefarious developer out there is not smart enough to leave some "cool" bug on your device.
But I'm not positive by any means, either.
Don't know what OS you're running but both NFS run great on HD2 Ansar 8773 ROM (and in years of sideloading apps I've yet to encounter some mythical '"cool" bug' - even in WM6.5 but least of all in the protected WP7 OS..Android is a different story!)

I have been searching for what feels like for ever and I cannot seem to find the answer. 1)does anyone have a copy of the stock smemo and snote apk 's I am pulling my afro out by the roots and that's not cool. 2edly which ties into the first query, how come when you flash several modems after awhile none of them seem to work. Example I would flash let's say 5 different modems to see which one has the best speed. By time I get to the 5th one my device no longer will display a signal and at that point it will not recognize my sim card so I have to reflash the ROM and start again due to a bad memory. Lucky I accidently flashed what I thought was a stock ROM but was not and it had a really good modem. The problem is that the spen apps are not present, now here's the fun part when I try to download them from the play store it says that is not compatible with my device so if someone has those apk's or can point me to a link that is not dead I would appreciate it thank you......

The playstore is right. Smemo and other S apps aren't compatible with JB roms. I'm no expert, but I believe it has something to do with touchwiz. Those apps require it and there isn't a JB touchwiz rom available yet. I have the Smemo apk and a titanium backup of it as well. I'll upload it later today when I get off work for ya. But unless your an awesome app dev it's not going to work. Believe me I've tried.
As for your modem question... that's odd. I've done the same thing you have but didn't run into any problems doing so. I always wipe dalvik/cache too. Maybe that's your issue. Another suggestion is try rebooting when you can't see any signal. Sometimes when I reboot without flashing anything my signal is non-existent. I reboot and it comes back.
Thank you for the reply, but blue I am going to throw a monkey wrench in the works. The ROM's that I am running are ICS because I need WiFi calling and neither att or Tmobile have a jb version running yet.... Btw thanks for reminding me to wipe the cache's I didn't think that would apply to modems just to ROM's

Since your already running ics, try finding an ics rom that's based on touchwiz if installing this apk doesn't work. Just because it's an ics rom it doesn't mean it's based on touchwiz.

I'm having difficulty finding Snotes in my backups for some reason. I'll update this when I find it.

Hi guys, I am very new to the Note 2. I just unlocked and rooted the latest ota using Casual. Thanks to Adam Outler and everyone else involved. So my question is which ROMs are compatible with this ota? Basic question I'm sure. I came from the Razr and the kernel had to match so I assume its the same here? Anyone willing to shed some light on this for me would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda app-developers app
Any rom you want as long as it is in the VZW Note 2 threads can be flashed ours arent locked down by what update we are on because our bootloader is unlocked where it isnt on Moto phones. AOSP roms require AOSP kernels as TW roms require TW kernels. The roms come with kernels though so that isnt something tk worry about unless you I want to.
The only thing to remember is if you go to a 4.2 rom and want t I go back to 4.1 you have to flash a downgrade zip so your SD card doesnt become corrupted. You can find the downgrade zip in the Official CM 10.1 thread in the OP.
Check out Droidstyles guide in Android Development, its a sticky, it explains quite a bit and would ne helpful to you I think.

Thanks for the info. Exactly the answers and info I was looking for. I just flashed CleanROM and went through the flashing process. When it got to the end and said finish to reboot it just turned off and wouldnt turn back on. Couldn't get to recovery or download mode. I had to pull the battery and then turn it on. It went straight to the new ROM though without a hitch. Is that a normal part of the flashing procedure on the N2? The battery pull I mean, or did I miss something?

Thats not a normal thing to happen, but it does happen occasionally. As long as it boots up after the battery pull I wouldnt be too worried by it. I have had it happen to me before and after the battery pull I experienced no issues whatsoever.

CleanROM's good. It was the first ROM I flashed when I got my Note II too.
Eventually though, you may want to switch to something more feature-rich like Jelly Beans, which is what I'm rocking now. The features it adds are pretty awesome and you get full touchwiz functionality (S-Pen and the like) with the look of AOSP.
DL'ing Jelly Beans now. Gotta make a new TiBu before flashing though. Will give it a go shortly. My wife fusses at me sometimes cause on my old phone (Razr) and on this one I am always flashing different ROMs. She especially hates it when she calls and my phone goes directly to voicemail cause I am in recovery flashing a ROM or kernel.

Hi all, I'm feeling like a n00b on the Note too, and really appreciate the help all of you seem to be willing to share with each other. I'm not new to modding phones, recently I've been through an S3, DNA, RAZR HD and M, and even another Note 2. I made the mistake of swapping the Note 2 for an iPhone 5, and regretted it about thirty seconds later. Now that's my wife's phone, and due to the grace of another (local) xda member, I'm back rockin' the Note 2. This time around in looking forward to getting into some serious flashing and tweaking to get the most from the hardware. I've decided this is Verizon's best phone at the moment, with everything I need.
Don't worry, you're not alone in having a wife who gets annoyed at flashing and tweaking. Happens to me all the time, but I use the excuse it's one of the few hobbies that I have which doesn't involve the rest of the family and I need a bit of alone time. It kind of works as an excuse until the point where I need to use it again.
I'm looking forward to being part of this community and wanted to say hello.
