Hey guys this isn't my work at all, but I found this and it works! Only problem is Voice Search.
If I helped you, push the thanks button for goodness sakes!BEFORE YOU POST!PLEASE NOTE THAT VOICE SEARCH DOES NOT WORK AT THIS TIME, SO DONT ASK!
*DISCLAIMER* YOU MUST BE ON ANDROID 4.0 ICE CREAM SANDWICH FOR THIS TO WORK, DON'T TRY INSTALLING IT ON ANYTHING ELSE! *DISCLAIMER*

ok so I'm ready to take charge of this thread proper. Please be patient:
-So first and foremost, Not I, or anyone else is responsible to any damage you do to your device. You are renaming/modifying system files so if you screw it up you are RESPONSIBLE, NOT US.YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED . Follow the Instructions in this post and you should be fine.
-Second, thank you very much to all the kind people who are providing the modded .apks for us. I can't account for every single person but thank you all for helping with the effort.
-Third, I will try to update this post as frequently as possible, but its so difficult to keep up with all the development as it moves quickly and its hard to pick up important info in the midst of all the questions. Any 'info dumps' in PM's would be appreciated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE 7/4 @ 2:04 AM
These are the current instructions and download:
1.) Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2.) Rename the "signed_velvet-voicereco.apk" that you downloaded (link below) to: "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk"
3.) Place the renamed .apk in the system/app folder and set the permissions to rw-r-r
4.) Reboot and enjoy!

Current Status:
Working:
-It boots!
-searching through the text-box works
-location services work
-info cards work
Not working:
-Can't exit the app using the back button on the Google Now 'Cards' screen
-Sometimes cannot submit a typed search-query
-Voice search (Jelly Bean kernel-specific, we probably won't be able to fix :-\ )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you can't enter your typed search:
-Try swiping away all of the current 'cards' that Google Now has given you
-Try pressing the home button, opening the multitasking menu and then swipe away the Google Search window, then re-open the app and try again.
-If none of that works, then get a logcat and post it in this thread for the devs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Devices this will NOT work on:
-Devices that are running anything before Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
-Some devices with some ROMs (still trying to identifying a pattern here)
-iOS Devices (Suckas!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If this doesn't work on your device:
-Make sure you followed the instructions exactly
-Try wiping the data/cache of the "Google" app that is Google Now
-Try opening the Google Now app in app info and clearing data, then when the app starts up, opt OUT of Google Now.
-If it still won't work then report it in the thread, a logcat and a non-spammy post would be preferable.
