[Q] Google Now for Froyo/Gingerbread

[_Variable]

While ICS users enjoy Google Now, Why not make a port for the legacy Gingerbread and Froyo users? It isnt that hard, is it? This is XDA, come on guys!

There's no need for that mate. There are many stupid questions here, but calling someone stupid is just not necessary.

Wouldnt it need NFC as well?

My bad thinking of wallet...

Unfortunately Honeycomb and below is "dead" development, people are focused on doing more on ICS than anything.
When Eclair rolled out, development stopped on Cupcake and Donut, and now its quite hard to imagine someone still working on those old versions of Android. Well, looks like GB, HC, and Froyo is in that boat.
I suggest you get a new phone. (I need one too. I'm still stuck on gingerbread)

There was a Jellybean port to ARM6 devices tested on Galaxy Gio by some guy, Im sure we can make a Google Now port.

Well coming from a jelly beaned phone, you do need an arm7 and unfortunately, your phone doesn't have one. You can try porting it but it will come out with bugs.

OptimusLove,
This might make you feel better:

I think you would still need to get ICS on your device, but at least your ARM6 is being shown a little love.
I'm still holding out on a gingerbread port of it, though.

How to install Google Now on my rooted Tmobile Galaxy S2 ?

I'm having a T-mobile rooted Galaxy S2 running ICS custom ROM (Jedi Mind Trick V4). I wanted to install Google Now and I hope that is possible in my device. Can someone send me the link, where to look for it ?

I believe Google Now is JellyBean specific. However, it's up to the devs to have it in a flashable zip or apk format for ICS devices.

Yes, I agree Google Now is specifically for JB. But trying to find out if anyone has ported it to use with ICS.

I still work on Gingerbread, and Froyo actually. I've got a user talking with me about using this on GB and I may take the project on...

That would rock so hard, I cream jelly in my jeans just thinking about it.

Ewww...that's disgusting.

But as many people feel, I do not feel that someone will actually take the time to figure out how to do it. Do remember that the framework is VERY different. But I am not losing hope that someone....someone...will take the time and get this working. ICS is not as fast as GB on my phone. However, GNow is enough of a reason for my to flash ICS to my phone every few days.

(OG Evo 4G running Decks ICS - 7.09.12 build flashed with GNow)

 

[13lack13ox]

So GNow is a ploy to get ppl to just buy new phones, that have ICS or better?

Well that's how I see it, the majority of ppl use gingerbread, why not cater to them gooooooooogle?? Its A shame they keep creating new os's like every year or so when phones last so much longer then that.

Offline dictation should of been available back back well there never should of been a connection dependent voice(voice search, dictation, voice anything from google) or w/e.
