Back during Google I/O 2012, we saw the unveiling of Google Now for Jelly Bean devices. Sadly, Google never released it as a stand-alone app so any device running Ice Cream Sandwich now essentially needs to be upgraded to Jelly Bean in order to make use of it. I say essentially because the fine folks in the Android community have now found a way to make it work on any Android 4.0 device running an AOSP ROM though there is one lingering issue with it. You can't use voice. Sure, the no voice thing is a bit of a bummer but for those who are interested in loading it up, you can do so with only a few steps required:
- Rename the APK to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
- Go to System/App and rename the original GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to 3, something else (Or delete it)
- Copy in the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk the one you renamed from (Velvet-theos0o.apk)
- Set the permissions, to the /System/App/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to RW-R--R--
- Reboot and it should work
As you can tell by looking at the instructions, it's not going to be for everyone. However, if you're willing to give it a shot you can find the download over at XDA Developers to get started. Just remember, you must be on an AOSP ROM in order for it to work.
