[MOD]4.1 + Google Now, English as locale,

[jabbeboy]

Just read this on a swedish android forum called Swedroid.com.
Its a mod that a user named Sletmo has done, by modding the Google Now apk called velvet.apk. He has done so Google Now always uses English(US) instead of your language choice. So you can use ex Spanish, as your systemlanguage, and still can ask questions to Google Now and get the cards showing and a voice.

Follow the instructions;:

Note that the app requires Jellybean

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22829424/Velvet.apk

1.The first Download the apk file above
2.The second Remount / system R / W, ADP remount
3.The third Push the apk to / system / app / Velvet.apk, adb push "Velvet.apk" "/ system / app / Velvet.apk"
4a. (Restart the phone) Never needed
4b. You must INSTALL the velvet.apk again, if you dont, you will not have any Google Search/Now at all..

After that it should work perfectly

Heres a link to the Official thread here on XDA.

does this app mean you can, speak to google voice in a different language, and still be able to have the cards come out?
or this this app mean you can have a different language, but when you speak english to it, you get your cards

Thank you for this but the reason you may have not gotten a response is because many of us are using English US as our system language anyways.

Also, this thread merely belongs in the Nexus S Apps and Themes section and not in the development section.
