It should work as all (maybe some anomalies) of the other ARM apps have worked on this phone. However, you will need to root the device, get ICS on it, and deodex it. Or, you could wait until Jelly Bean which I believe is being released in January.

I can wait a month or so, if the ICS update was on time

The ICS update was on time.why do you need google now anyway?

It's incredibly useful, and a great apple generally

Whoops. App was intended

[i am not a hacker]

You can get it though on this phone at the moment or Officially when jelly bean is out. Or you could try alternatives such as Dragon GO or S voice from the galaxy s3. You just install the apk for that.

Thanks

Always here to help

All the Google Now apks hacked for ICS are old I believe and don't have all the new stuff. I found it all rather confusing myself since all these people have release their own hacks instead of working together for the benefit of the community. Typical XDA-Developers...

I need permission from you to view the file. That's what it says

[utternoob]

Done. Try again. Will upload a dropbox mirror in a sec

[i am not a hacker]

It says application not installed, when I try to install it. It is overwriting the original Google search

[utternoob]

Delete it and then copy and paste into root directory. May need to update op

[i am not a hacker]

Oh yeah I didn't do that. You know I thought my account had been hacked when I saw posts from December and thinking that someone had posted them now. Facepalm

[grizzlyflea]

Yay it works, but only partially. Unfortunately voice search doesn't work
