Many of you have been clamoring to try Google Now, one of the hot new features of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Well if you are rooted and running an AOSP-based Ice Cream Sandwich ROM, you can now take it for a spin. XDA member febcv figured out that you can modify the build.prop to make it happen. Hit the break for the instructions.
Instructions
- Open Root Explorer & navigate to /system
- Now Open build.prop in Text Editor.
- Edit ro.build.version.sdk = 16 & save.
- Now go to /system/app & Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk1
- Now reboot & install the app from this download link.
- Now edit build.prop & change ro.build.version.sdk = 15 & reboot.

it didnt work for me :( on cm9 on sensation
gives network error on galaxy s aokp :/
Doesn’t work on AOKP on T-Mobile GS2. Keeps on saying “Didn’t catch that try speaking again” without me even saying or getting a chance to say anything.
does this not work on rooted, stock ics?
Wouldn’t be too sure about that one, stock ICS doesn’t really have many of the tweaks that these custom ROMs have. It would be worth a shot, but I wouldn’t put money on it.
did you try this/get this to work? i’d like to try this on my rooted, stock ics on razr.
