This is HIGHLY recommend to flash before installing Google Now. This zip will free up a lot of system space to make more room for the google now installation avoiding many errors.
This will MOVE the following apps to /data/app
Google Plus
Gmail
Facebook
Flashplayer
Warning: You will loose any app data associated with these apps!

Yeah, i'm still fighting only having 14MB free on my /system partition. Are you guys (that got it working) running a deodexed ROM or did you do something else to get more space in there?

Good day to All!!
I can confirm (at least on my phone) that Google Now works!! I will not be posting any links until I get this approved by our devs as I've heard some phones don't have enough room in the system partition to install all the lib files. But after fiddling around with it for an hour I got it to work voice search and all. Once I get this approved I will (try to) make a full guide to get this on your phones!!

*Update 8/2/12*
Alright, now that I have approval of the devs, I will ATTEMPT to make a flashable zip. All you will have to do is boot into bootmenu and flash to get google now! This might take a couple of days as I'm relativly new to creating zips and such. IF I'm not able to make a working zip I will do my BEST to make a comprehensive guide on how to install it manually!
I got it to instal OK. as long as you follow the directions it's not too bad.
Mine is kinda laggy though. Is yours?

Existing flashable zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?p8avdan0jbjacke

I haven't tried it yet

EDIT: CONFIRMED WORKING , booted into custom recovery, flashed, rebooted...

no need to work on this one dude...its already done...

just make sure you're using SCV7 , not stock ICS as you most likely will not have enough room to install..

Does the google now voice search have a offline voice recognition language pack? I can´t seem to download any language pack like the jelly bean users can...and does anybody know what languages the offline recognition works with?

    Just curious, is there any change from v7 to v9.1 other then the updated velvet.apk? Just wondering if I could drop the 9.1 velvet apk into the v7 zip and flash that? Thanks for all your work :)

    Its just the apk. You can just drop the V9 apk into V7. Why do you need to do that though ?

    Why do I keep having problems?! My problem now is after installing it and I try to do voice search it just sits there with some dots and doesn't do the search.

    First try this and report back:
    1.)Open a file maneger (ES File explorer should do... or try Solid Explorer which is way better in my opinion!)
    2.) Navigate to system/usr/srec and make sure that both folders there (config and en-US) have their permissions set to drwxr-xr-x or looks like this

    3.) If it doesn't change it, if it does leave it alone.
    4.) Reboot into bootmenu
    5.) Go to advanced---> Fix permissions
    6.) Reboot
    IF THAT doesn't work try below and report back

    1.) Flash the Google Now Remover
    2.) Reboot
    3.) Wipe Dalvik
    4.) Flash Google Now v7
    5.) Reboot
    6.)Flash Google Now v9

    I am on v7 so do i need to clear the prev version and then install the v8??

    No... V8 will overwrite the files from v7
