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.

Right now the main thing that doesn't seem to work is Calendar/setting alarms.

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.

I couldn't get it to work.... Musta done something wrong...
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.

Titanium backup.

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.
Has anyone had good luck with this?

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?
I updated my l9 to the official Indian jelly bean few days back and since then youtube app fails to play any videos over wifi. Wifi and internet otherwise works perfectly fine on the device. Even in the youtube app I can search, look up videos within my subscriptions fine , just can't play anything over wifi. I get the error - "problem while playing touch to retry". Works fine over 3G though.
I have rebooted the phone and wifi modem/router multiple times which didn't help. I also uninstalled all the updates for the youtube app still no help. Reinstalled the youtube updates still same problem
Has anyone else faced similar problem since updating to jelly bean?

Try doing a "Force stop" on the app, "Clear data" and "Clear cache".

Are you rooted? If yes, XDA will help, if no LG Service Center will help.

I haven't rooted my phone yet. The only reason I am reluctant to contact lg service center because I think they may not consider this as a phone/device problem. But I will try that eventually.
I feel if I could reinstall the youtube app it might help but then I'm not rooted and this app came pre-installed.
is there a way to remove pre-installed apps without rooting?

As I always say, XDA is not for lion-hearted people. Others should not even come here. :laugh: I am not rough and tough user and take good care of my phone, therefore I dont care about LG's warranty and thats because I am here on XDA.
Even if anything happens to my phone in future, I will take it as bad-luck, but till then my phone will live life to the fullest. :angel:
You can update YT, if it shows Update button. Otherwise No, if not rooted.
Same problem here. Literally tried everything. I'm gonna root the phone tomorrow and try removing with Ti Backup and installing separately. Hope that works...

Anyone found a solution? I have literally tried everything from flashing numerous times to contacting LG 5 times, changing WiFi settings, etc.
However, for me YouTube works on ICS and CM10.1. But ICS is too old for me so I'm forced to be on 20A. Roms from other regions don't work too. So hopefully LG will release an update soon or CM gets stable.

Well if the YouTube app isn't working. I quick fix would be to install Adobe flash player and use naked Brower, dolphin Brower or other non stock Brower. And view the page in desktop mode (YouTube.com)
Use this link to get the latest flash player

I just tried it and it worked fine with naked browser.

youtube is working again over wifi on my p765. I have been using the default router+modem(huwaei) provided by my ISP for last 7 years. Since it was an old model (54mbps, only b/g) I was planning to get a new one and finally I bought and configured the d-link 2750U and youtube started working again.
I still can't figure out what exactly made the difference because the old router was working perfectly fine all these years with various devices including my p765 before the jb update.
Anyways, alls well that ends well

So the router doesn't like jelly bean. We bought this router almost a year back. I think there's an old configuration which ICS and Cm are okay with but not stock jb. Thanks for updating.

So has it been like this from the beginning or it just happened? Have you tried it through a browser? Download flash player and try it that way. I'll try to upload mine when I get a chance.
You might not what to hear this, but try flashing a freshly download 20d, or flash the v21d

On vramc3 and have new Casual installed opened with java. Once I plug in the Note it wont recognize it and just stays at Disconnected.
Tried every usb port and still nothing. Havent done anything with the phone since I obtained it except taking the OTA.
Did you turn on Developer Options and select USB Debugging?

Did you download Kies?
I just did mine yesterday - had to try 2 usb ports.
This is what worked for me:
Uninstall all samsung/note 2 drivers.
Uninstall Kies
Downloaded Android SDK ((can't link) just google
Downloaded JRLoper's Driver install URL STARTS HERE - code (DOT) google (DOT) com/p/cadi/
Then go into casual.
Casual failed on me the first time - it gave me the "libusb error: -12" error.
So I unplugged the phone from usb - pulled the battery - put battery back - plugged usb back in - turned on phone - and when casual recognized it I ran it through again - I did the same thing above 3 times in succession - each time it'd get a little further and a little further on casual. Finally launched into TWP(sp?) recovery and was rooted.
((try at own risk, but it worked for me))
I will try this. I did download Kies and even it wouldn't recognize my phone. I'll have to check it in some other ports and see if it will work.
Thanks. Will keep updated

Simple driver issue. Went into Device Manager removed and reinstalled. Worked perfectly.
Thanks for all the advice. Now Rooted and Unlocked.
I have a problem, a few days ago my computer stopped recognizing my note 2. I have used 2 different USb cables DIRECT from samsung, I have checked unchecked iusb debugging, mtp, camera, nothing works. When I plug it into the computer the computer beeps, and says samsung android device installed correctly, but still no luck. I restored roms, tried different roms and kernels.
Anyone can help? I need my phone for tethering.
Thanks

It might be an issue with the computer. Have you tried connecting your phone to another computer using the same cable? You might want to try reloading all the windows drivers on your computer as well, or try using a different usb port on your computer.
Yea works fine on my laptop. Uninstalled and re installed kies and drivera. Different usb port alao. Not sure. Had to restore windows

An alternative option is if you are using system restore or have a recent backup, that may bring the system back to a time when everything worked, as well.

Mine will also act up sometimes and re-installing the drivers works for me. I will get the message that the drivers are already installed. Install anyway.
I am new to Android. Just rooted, got s-off, setup TWRP, and installed Viper Rom. Everything seems to be all good on the phone.
When I attach my phone to my PC, I see the phone in my computer, but it is not letting me browse the files/folders any longer. If I try to open the phone memore or SD card, it locks up my windows explorer adn shows not responding. If I remove the micro USB cable, every think snaps back into action. I have rebooted the phone and PC I am sure its probably something stupid I am missing.
What is the deal?
Try uninstalling drivers then reconnecting. You can find the yellow explanation icon in device management
