THIS GUIDE ONLY WORKS ON JELLYBEAN BASED ROMs - ie. right now - my CFX2. This guide will show you how to get a fully functioning version of Google Now for JellyBean working. It's a hacky method but

Well actually the new build also smoothes things out a bit more. PB is more of a concept than a physical thing in the system. So no don't need any sources. If anything it is a kernel issue.

Is it possible for the full Google Now to work on our skates? I mean, not having to go through several other apps to get to it, simly holding home, swiping up and talking to Gn. Would that be poss

I have a problem, at first it did not work, I didn't have the google app so I read that I needed a larger system partition, using TPT Helper I made it larger, I read that it needed to be 230, so I decided a little more can't hurt and made it 250.

When I re installed the rom and this I no longer have any google apps installed, so I am a little stuck, what can I do?

I am using the ZTE Blade, whilst I realise this is the Skate forums, I got linked here from the Blade forums

EDIT: I have fixed it so I don't need any help

Mine is still not allowing me to speak - saying 'Didn't catch that' with the latest build. Pretty sure I've done all the steps right.

Is this working on the current build of CM2?

Yes it does.

Anyone having mic problems - be sure to use the "Voice Search for Google Now" app and not the inbuilt voice search in google now.

Oh right so you need to use that all the time, thought it was just the one off. Shame the shortcuts can't be used then. :(

how can i flash new gapps over the old one ???

Just flash it?

Does the latest stripped Gapps have the 'Google' app? I don't seem to have it. On a 185mb system with latest CFX2 build.

You've flashed stuff before right? No need for a video, just download the new gapps, go to clockworkmod & install via zip then just reboot. If things go to plan you hopefully shouldn't need to wipe anything.

Are you using the voice search app? You can't use the Google Now voice search due to Google using arm7 libs. Annoyingly.

Hmmm that's tricky even Google Now searches for ARM7 libs :(

What is this VoiceSearch app do we refer to in step 5?... I can only see the stripped gapps link!... Am I suppose to download & install the voice search app from the Play Store?...

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the guide in op has changed?... I can remember there being a link to the hacked voice search or something that will give you three different voice search apps when you've gone through the guide steps?...

I was just about to ask the question, whats wrong with the Google Now search function, but you already answered my question, so sad! :(

Doesn't quite work the way it's supposed to be on the real deal!?... It's funny how you have to press the search key on the screen keyboard to start searching once you spoke your search!... :P

Just did a fresh TPT on my OMC & flashed latest CFX2 & stripped gapps, and finally got the one in the stripped gapps to work how it is intended to be used ( the hacked way )... And, I know now what the three versions of search is on the app drawer, 1 is for google now ( velvet.apk ), 1 for GoogleNow search ( googlenowvoicesearch.apk ) & 1 for Voice Search ( googlevoicesearch.apk, which is used in conjunction with Google Now Search )...

On a side note!... Was just wondering why this ROM is using a 3rd party camera app?... Is the native one not working at all?...
