Damn! I really want to try this but I cant write to my system directory. It wont mount R/W.
Also, you say there should be 2 files but there is only 1 in the zip file.

Yes. Says "hw permissions cannot be changed because the file system is read-only".

I LOVE YOU (a non-gay amount)
update 2: ok, went outside again to try it out one more time. It took 5-10 secs to lock on, not 1sec like before haha but I guess this is as good as it gets. thanks a lot again. I'l try again tomorrow and post back results.

On pc open up file with winzip or winrar and go into lib and armeabi and copy the .so file onto sdcard. Using root explorer copy .so file into system/lib fix permissions and restart phone and all should be ok. I have heard of people having to find their voice talk and voice command files and delete them because they were conflicting with s-voice.
Installed just fine for me from apk. Works pretty good. But once you say a command it stops it doesn't continue listening.

first thing i did was rename vlingo.apk to .old, and voicetalk.apk to .old. tried copying in the new voicetalk.apk, no luck off the bat, got in, got through the setup screen but force closes after that. Just tried moving the .so file in and wiping the cache's and fixing permissions. still getting a force close. suggestions?
edit: clearing app cache seems to have fixed it, even tried that woodchuck thing. impressive.
edit 2: iphones recognition seems to be about as accurate for what I tried, however it did come up with the answers far quicker.

Same issues getting it to work without FC'ing - same suggestions above apply? Going to mess with it but don't have a lot of free time today and tomorrow
So after a bit of playing around i figured out that if you push it to the system/app folder and fix the permissions, then go back in the system/app folder and install the apk like a normal app, its been working fine. Had one FC since, but working 100% better then before. Goodluck!

fastest way
1) put on SD card
2) use root explorer (or whatever app you use, copy file to system/app
3) set permission (RW- R-- R--)
4) reboot
5) look in app drawer and open. works fine hasn't force closed yet.
If you tried another way and it failed you must delete the one out of your system/app, reboot and then follow the steps exactly.
yes you must be on ICS
Im using Alien ICS ★ Build #8 ★ it works great
thanx romracer
I didn't make this but just wanted to share since it works on our device...
simply unzip the file, use root explorer to copy the lib file and the app, set app permissions correctly, install, then reboot!

These are the steps you have to do if you want this work. Even though it is a zip file you do not flash it in cwm. Its not gonna work that way. You have to extract the files so you can get the apk file and others needed to do the steps above. You will also need a file explorer that allows you to get to the system files. I used es file explorer its free on the market. Follow the steps above and this will work..

You can copy a system apk and save it in /sdcard/ for example, and then copy it back to /system/app using a filebrowser with root-function, such as ES File Explorer, Root Explorer etc. No need for adb if you dont want to.
But I doubt the stock camera app will work on an AOSP build.

You can copy a system apk and save it in /sdcard/ for example, and then copy it back to /system/app using a filebrowser with root-function, such as ES File Explorer, Root Explorer etc. No need for adb if you dont want to.
But I doubt the stock camera app will work on an AOSP build.

This is where your app comes in handy.

If you installing the camera from say CM10 which I would call stock for AOSP but I think Goatshocker thinks you on about the Sense camera.
If you use his app then load it up connect it to pc with usb debugging on and then replace Gallery2.apk and then reboot, oh and a tip don't let the app install it but just push the apk.
Also, the All In One Kit can push them too yes?

No idea on that but Goatshocker app works fine for what you want to do.
Did you sort this yet?
When you said "stock camera", I obviously assumed you ment the stock camera that comes with the phone, which means - sense.
Moving the camera between different AOSP roms shouldnt cause any issue. Neither should moving the sense camera between sense roms.
But moving the Sense camera to an AOSP rom - thats what I doubt will work.
In any case, you can always (if youre rooted, obviously ) copy the camera apk and replace it. If it doesnt work it wont start, thats it. The actuall copy/replace will still work.
Do note that you might need to reboot the phone after modifying /system/ applications.
In very rare cases you might have to do it through a recovery, using ADB, because the system might block access (similar to windows "the file is in use" message when trying to change an open file).
In any case, you should always back up the file you are replacing, before replacing it, in case the new file doesnt work.
I usually do it an ugly way, simply renaming the old file to "blabla.apk_"
That way the file will still be there, but the system wont recognize it as an application. If the new file works as it should, I go back and delete the ".apk_" file.
Just to clarify a final time: Replacing the camera app in /system/ will in 99% of the cases work with a root explorer on the phone, the last 1% might need to use ADB while in recovery or bootloader.
