Alright, following This Guide I got Google now working.
To summarize what I did
1. Root phone using the Korean Root method
2. I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM using Project FreeGee
3. I booted into CWM and installed This zip.At the I was writing this guide, I freegee was on version 0.5
4. My phone restarted and froze up about twice before finally staying booted. It seems to have normalized now.
edit:Right now most things seem to work.
If anyone finds a better version of Google now, please let me know and post the how-to.
I didn't make the zips and all I have done is follow the instructions and write down my personal experience. I give full credit to the author of the original post for their instructions/work they did. However, since the LGOG doesn't need project Butter, Google Now is the main thing we are missing from 4.1 and it should help ease the wait for a stable AOSP ROM. If anyone has any issues let me know and I'll make a list.

THis is great news. Right now I'm pondering whether to get this phone or the Note II, and Google now (which I have on my Captivate running SlimBean 3.0) is the one thing I really cannot imagine giving up.
Question: when you say that Calendar/settings alamrs don't work, do you mean that they don't work at all, or that they don't show up in Google Now?
I was referring to not working in Google now. Although i did manage to set an alarm with it shortly after this post.
Also fwiw I had the captivate too. I try to stick with nexus hardware.

OK, I can't get it to launch links for me after searching. Anyone else? I'm wondering if it's because I removed Chrome and the LG browser?
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Edit: Works most of the time but I also have issues launching links. I still have chrome and the stock browser installed, it will launch them I just have to click on them multiple times. I'm also occasionally having issues exiting to the home screen using either the home button or the back button.
Links can be a little stubborn for me but, usually open.

Uninstall stock voice search with titanium backup or you will get problems with android keyboard. It makes it try use them both for voice typing. I'd assume it may be the cause of any and all problems.
Edit: scratch that... Since installing Google now I get all kinds of freezing reboots. Caca. Then again it just be saying f u to nova launcher. Clearing cashes fixes it until it happens again.

One of the cards says there's an update available in the Play Store. When I go there it says my device is incompatible. Is there something we could tweak to the build.prop in order to get this update? Or will that mess things up due to the nature of how it was installed?

As we all notice with the new exciting 4.0.4 release for the SGT-10.1, Face unlock is not available for unlocking the tab!
I have taken the liberty to modify the ICS-04292012-gapps to include Facelock.apk without all the rest of the gapps. So BIG THANKS to the CM team for the zip and the components outside of the facelock.apk. The facelock.apk came from my SGS3 and works perfect on my tab.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT OCCUR FROM FLASHING THIS! BY DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING, YOU THE USER ABSOLVE ME FROM ANY DAMAGES THAT MIGHT INCUR FROM YOU INSTALLING!!
1: MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
2: DID YOU MAKE A BACKUP?

6: Reboot
7: Check settings>security>screen lock
This has been tested only on the P7510. Once more people download and report back, I can say if it works with other variants of the 10.1 series.
Confirm working by RavenY2K3 that it works on P7500. He had to clear extra space on the /system partition to have it running.
Man, thanx for it!

What's needed is to get someone with a 7500 who flashed with PC Odin to see if they have had the same issue I just had, I did it with the mobile version and those people who did the same have found that the hidden.img didn't flash, so some apps weren't available after flashing.

If you are rooted, use a program like Titanium Backup in the market to remove any useless apps, need to clear at least 25 MB.

HTC and Sony are running a promotion for HTC devices running JB 4.1 and Sense 4+, giving out four free games this month. The problem is, they forgot to include the DNA on this list and the Playstation Mobile app doesn't appear on the Play Store for us. Never fear, sideload is here.

If you are using Viper Rom you can find PSM in the Viper Hub under addons , works with no issues so far for me, only issue was flashing which is attempted in recovery with an auto flash.......didn't work so just install from sdcard find the file ....under viper - addons - etc.....

Very strange. I obviously didn't have this launch error or I wouldn't have posted it as such. Just like redtechjunky, I'm on ViperDNA. Perhaps there's something in the ROM that makes this work properly? I didn't know about the Venom Hub installation either. Nice tip.
I see that bigandrewgold's screenshot he is possibly on another ROM (or different theme in Viper.) Lemme know, please.

Hey all,
I am having a couple odd issues with my Note 2 when running Chrome. Well, the stock interwebs app too actually.
When I go to nbcnews.com I get the mobile site, which is fine, but I can't click on anything. When I try to view a story it just highlights the link in blue but doesn't actually go anywhere. I have to long press and say open in new tab.
When I go to wowinsider.com (yes i play wow, so sue me! =]) and view an article it doesn't load the comments section. After loading the article the progress bar pauses at about 80% like it's thinking about the loading the comments but then it jumps to completed with no comments loading.
Neither of these issues were present on my GNex. I rooted the Note 2 and installed Beans 8 so soon after getting it I don't known if it was doing this before flashing. Anyone have similar issues? Is it the Note 2? Beans ROM?
Thanks

Ad-blocking software or a pop up blocker installed? Thats the only thing I can guess would keep only select links from working.
Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure ad blocking is an option when installing Beans. I'll be damned if I can find it now though...

A mysterious file is always generated on my SD card no matter how many times I format it or delete the file. The file has an extension of "MOLOGIQ" and is usually named ".06ba141d-a652-464b-b7c2-0932d1a1402b.mologiq". I have a fear that it is a spyware application that's hidden in my phone. I really can't seem to get rid of it. Any help understanding this or getting rid of it is much appreciated. My phone is rooted, S-OFF, 4EXT. This occurs on any ROM/kernel and even with full wipes and formatting I can't seem to get rid of it.
Just from googleing it comes up as stealth mode start up advertising, which sounds like a load of crap, don't know how or where you got it but it don't sound good

If a full wipe doesn't fix it, all I could suggest is formatting SD again, through your PC, then run the ruu

I'm a flashaholic if that's how you spell it. v.v
It shows up on any ROM I use. Even on the ROMs that have full wipe aroma, I've even used ROMCleaner, and all the wipes in 4EXT, including SD. Thanks for the suggestion guys. If anyone else has anymore I can try, you're more than welcome.
Can I use a logcat to detect this app? Maybe format or delete the file and turn on the logcat and then wait until a it returns and find the item in the log?

From what I have seen on videos and read on various blogs and from people using early AOSP builds, the new Google Search is significantly improved - most importantly in terms of speed, which has always been my biggest gripe with it. So earlier I pretended like I still had a nexus and tried to install the new apk from the factory image over the one we all have, and predictably, it opened but would FC every time I tried to run a search. Anybody else tried? anybody havE any thoughts on how we might be able to make it work?
