I'm having a bit of a problem. Google voice works fine. It finds my results and everything but certain links it won't open, for example Wikipedia links never open. Any suggestions?

I just installed everything as posted here in the first thread but I cannot hear anything from Google Now... Is this a bug or I have done anything wrong?

Ask it something that will take a long time to answer, like "what is the weather today?". When the weather card pops up, try increasing the volume until you hear the response. You should be able to hear it after that. I've had this happen a few times, too.

I've seen this on my wife's Samsung GS4G with ICS and Google Now, so I don't know how unique it is to the Atrix port. I also have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (wow, according to Apple and the courts I'm a real outlaw!), but I've not used Google Now on that device enough to have noticed the problem.

That is a bug with the ICS port... still no fix yet.
But since we have CM10 which is jellybean i urge you to try it because it has native support for gnow and it works perfectly!

Tried the remover script, but it seems to corrupt the original Voice Search in addition to removing Goog Now. Any tips on how to remove this mod and have a functional Voice Search?

Voice Search working, google now might be?

For starters, I don't know if v9 is necessary but there are no longer links to it in OP so I followed the same steps with v10 in place of v9, so maybe that is where I went wrong already but I can't seem to figure it out.

Basically every time I click on my search widget the set up for google now runs, I turn it on, it makes me use it and then when I go to open it again I need to complete the set up again. If I go to my search bar settings it says google now is turned off. If I click it to turn it on it makes me run through the set up again. As near as I can tell google now works fine if I complete the set up and then keep the app open, but as soon as I close it I need to do the set up again or voice search.

    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!

    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 ?

    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
