Has anyone tried putting Google Now on the Razr HD? It can be run on ICS. I have had some trouble getting it to run properly.
Has anyone else given it a try?

RAZR hd is suppose to come with it stock
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA Premium HD app
No, it doesn't come stock. It comes stock in Jelly Bean, not ICS. There is a way to get it working on ICS but I can't get out to work on this phone. I also don't want to try anything too crazy until recovery is developed so I can Nandroid.
Forgot what it's like to not have a nexus phone...lol.

I thought I read that too. P3 always comes out with these hacks so quickly. He'll probably have a Jelly Bean release soon enough. Recovery will be nice, so we can play around and know we have a nandroid. Also, with recovery, themes and roms are not too far off.

Here's the thread, and for all the weak at heart, they even have an app that will do the total install for you.
I did the manual install and it works flawlessly!

And you have the Razr HD? Don't we need a recovery in order to install it? I'll try the manual route and report back.
I just read through the post and it says we have to be on a deodexed rom. I am on stock, rooted. Is that what worked for you?

I'm on the kissing cousin of the Razor HD, the Atrix HD, we don't have recovery yet either, I'm on a stock, rooted, odexed ROM, and the manual method worked great for me. Like I said, "Flawless". If you read through the thread, you'll see some that have installed on odexed ROMs with no problems. The OP stated that while it will work on an odexed ROM, he hasn't tested it out on one.
It's very easy, and painless if you follow the VERY simple instructions to the letter.

The step by step instructions are right there bro. Did you set your permissions correctly on the files and folders per the instructions?
Once you set your permissions, reboot, and you should be golden.

If you followed the directions step by step, you should only need to rename your googlesearch apk back to it's original name.

anyone have the new gtalk with video chat running on the x2?
I installed it a few weeks ago and the video and voice calls don't work... I don't know if its because I am using a Google apps account with my own domain or what but attached is a zip containing the files and instructions... Try it out and let me know cuz if it has to do with my G'apps account I'm not gonna be too happy....
Just installed this and its just constantly loading its not doing anything =/
That's why I wished we'd have gotten 2.3.4 instead of 2.3.3 i believe that's What's missing to make it work.

Here's a working install, all credit for the actual gtalk mod goes to XsMagical over at the evo 3d forum. The op says working voice and video. I haven't tested this yet, and I would highly recommend making a backup. If someone installs before I do let us know what the result is.
I'm trying to use Rom Manager Premium to install ClockWorkMod. It down loads successfully, but then never installs. This is with a rooted Droid X2. Has anyone seen this problem and found a solution to get the install to work?
Yes the X2 is listed under Rom Manager but it's not FULLY supported, yet. Uninstall it. This thread is going to get ugly..i can feel it.

The Razr is a very alien device for since it has so much limitations and need a lot of "winging it" in my opinion being a Nexus user and all.
But here's the question. How can I just flash ICS on this Verizon Razr as easy as possible.
Depends. Usually you can just go to settings, and about phone, and then go to check for updates.. That should upgrade you to ics if you are on the stock gingerbread.

as long as ur running stock rom it'll do just fine.. if ur not running stock rom reflash it, and then do wut previous post says settings>about phone> search for updates.. u'll have to re root tho... use matty's 1.7 just did it on mine and works fine..root access and all.
Edit: I just re-read post to make sure i covered everything.. since u have the razrx rom, (th3ory's, i was running too...one word... AWESOME!) flash back to the err.. what was last update...902 i think... just reflash stock rom, and search for OTA of ICS.. it's wut i did..
Alright so you are gonna want to do a search either here on XDA, or a google search and look for the stock RAZR 2.3.6 rom. And follow the instructions to install it and then as I said before go to settings, about phone, and click check for updates. And if that doesn't work tell me and I will give you instructions to install the stock ics manually.

I can assure you that ICS on the Razr display is as sexy as it gets and it's quite nice with Motorola's changes to it. They seem to have left it relatively untouched, but what they did change was for the better in my opinion. If you don't like what they changed, I believe there are quite a few ROMs for a more pure ICS experience, and it will still be quite sexy
What other ROMS r there.. I live the sexyness of the new ICS..just don't like all the bloat..
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
As for using the stock ics, bloat can be disabled, you go to settings/applications /manage applications/all then find the bloat you don't want, select it, uninstall updates, then you will find an option to disable. This will hide the app and disallow it to function, but it will still be in /system/app when an ota dose a file system check. If you're looking for cm9, I'd update to .211 install safe strap 2.0 for razr ics, then check out hashcodes cm9 build for the razr, you'll have to Google for it, it's not on xda. You will have to rsd back to stock before the update will install.

I see the update on viperdna 1.1.2, rejected it. It comes back when pulsing again for new updates. Why defer over rejecting?
Forgive, I'm a Noobie here. I bought a GN2 off of Ebay...I'm trying to get a plain old verizon GN2, so I can do the OTA updates...it won't update (looks like it's trying to install a ClockworMod recovery...whatever that is), so I did some looking and found I had an app called Super User...it appears that I'm rooted, so I tried the step by step restoration process over in the developers section, and it fails in Odin. Any suggestions, or point me in the right direction would be great.

You can just flash the new updates as opposed to going all the way back to stock but of thats what you want you might try a different USB port and cord om the computer to rule that out. If it still doesnt work you may try the alternative method in Droidstyles guide, im pretty sure its in his guide under returning to stock, that doesnt contain a bootloader.
