Working great on my AOKP rom.
Pre-reqs: Google Play Store account, Android phone with a mic, apps from unknown sources checked. Also, you will likely need an ICS rom. YMMV if you are on a different Android OS.
1) Download the .rar file from the link.
2) Download ES File Explorer from the Play Store.
3) Open ES File Explorer.
4) Using ES File Explorer, navigate to wherever you downloaded the .rar.
5) Click on the downloaded .rar file.
6) Will open in ES File Explorers in-app ES Zip Explorer.
7) Click on the .apk file.
8) When it asks if you want to install, select install.
9) Voila, there will be the icon in the app drawer, or you can long hold the search button.
Article on the S Voice on the Galaxy Nexus: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/05/20/full-hands-on-with-samsungs-s-voice-for-the-galaxy-s-iii/
For those having trouble with the voiceback, here's something from the article:
Every left-pointing speech bubble you see in the pictures (except for "Say 'Hi Galaxy'" and the initial "What would you like to do") are read aloud with a Text To Speech engine. There's no TTS built in, it uses whatever you have on your phone, which in my case is the dreary default Google TTS. Maybe the GSIII comes with something nicer.

I havent personally looked at it but I'm assuming its an apk in a rar file. Download the rar on computer, open it, plug in your phone, open your system/app folder, put it in there, disconnect your phone, use a root explorer to go to that same app folder, click the apk and install it

Thanks guys for the help still fairly new to all this. got the roms and kernel flashing and all that down pat.
For those having trouble, its in a rar file. Use es file explorer and you can open the rar and install the apk directly from inside the app. You don't need to use the computer to extract it.

That weird for you guys.... i did the one the op provided and i am on nun's aokp and i hear voices fine. If i open certain apps and such it force closes, but for me mostly it runs great.
Works pretty well on my Infuse running CM9. I don't hear it talk as others have reported but it's cool. Not sure how useful it will be but I like the direction we're heading.

Sometimes it'll talk and sometimes it won't. I think it needs more files from the S3. I know it works for sure if you ask for the weather. That's when it'll sound like a depressed Siri. Might be because I live in a rainy city, so the weather is always depressing.
I have only tried using it to open a few apps but it looks like we need the specific S3 app for it to work properly. Taking a picture does not work, opening the camera does not work. But you can get it to check facebook, open facebook, and open the calculator.
Here is a modded version of S Voice.

I'm having an issue with Facebook not updating from the market, I'm running the last Fresh Rom.
If anyone can help me by droping the facebook.apk file, maybe if I run the file from my sd card it could work.
Did you try uninstalling FB and then download from the market? I has a similar issue and this worked for me.

Download ES File Explorer.
Once installed hit Menu -> Settings
Then scroll to bottom and select Root options.
Check both Root Explorer and Mount File System
You may be prompted with an SU request, allow.
Hit back twice to get to folder directory.
It will probably be at the SDCARD root.
Hit the " / " icon, top left, this will get too the root area of your phone memory (or whatever its called)
Find the system folder, tap it.
Find the app folder, tap it.
Find the Facebook.apk file, long press and hold it, then select delete.
Reboot phone
go to market, download/install latest facebook.apk
something along those lines.
Perfect, thank you guys it work perfect that way, ijust finish downloading the 1.3.2 version.

Does anyone have the original clock apk ? I'm running black edition which is bad ass! But I really like the stock clock better because of the smart alarm. I looked for a replacement on the market. And I can't find it here either. Any help would greatly appreciated.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Download the Rom that has the clock you wish to use. Open it up with an archival program (I use WinRAR) and navigate into the system/app folder. This folder will contain clock.apk, as well as other system apps you may recognize.
Just copy that file to your phone SD card, use a file explorer with root access to copy/paste the file to /system/app on your phone, overwrite the clock.apk and then reboot for good measure. And that's it!
This is generally callled 'pushing' a file. Hope that does it for ya!
Edit: if you do not have access to a computer you can most likely use you file explorer to open and extract the archive. My preference is ES File Explorer.

The clock in Raver's latest release is not what was being asked for. This apk has been tested and works in Final-Fixed VB.
ADD: Just realized if you want the smart alarms you will need to copy the sounds into /system/media/audio/ui folder.
Wi-Fi Proteccted network issue
Guys, with ICS 4.0.4 I cannot access my home WiFI (Cissco router). ICS shows (protected network available) and stuck on ObtainingIP... I cannot see any WPS (protected network settings ) in this ROM. The router settings are Manual (not protected WIF), so I cannot change anthing in the router. Any deas?
Note: Pls disregard thispost. it is for SGS2. I cannot find how to delete/move it
What is black edition? Is that a name or a description? Im using Kholer Clock and I like that but I'm always open.
It is a ROM for the SGS4G that the stock smart alarm was removed from.
Hello,
This is my first guide. It's not my work but I thought I'd post it here as many people would find it useful. I found it somewhere in the sprint galaxy s3 forums a while back and I keep using it. It has worked on all the roms I have installed so far.
You will need a copy of the Google search apk with universal search. Here's my copy http://db.tt/Chg3ev9i
You will also need the app Root explorer found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_medium=organic&utm_term=root+explorer+apk I don't know if there is a free version or if file explorer with root access will work. I use Root explorer and it works. Anyways for the guide:
1. Open up root explorer and navigate to /system/app
2. Mount as R/W
3. Copy googlequicksearchbox_USA.apk and paste it somewhere safe as a backup.
4. Delete googlequicksearchbox_USA.apk from /system/app
5.paste the Google search apk from my dropbox into this folder /system/app and set the permissions to RW-R--R-- (if you don't know what it looks like, check the permissions on any other apk in this folder and make it look the same)
6. Remount folder as R/O
7.exit Root explorer app
8. Go to your settings>application manager>all and scroll down to Google search (not the one with the pic of a search bar. The one with the big "G" ) tap it and tap clear data (if this is not an option, don't worry about it)
9. Go back to Settings>application manager>all and scroll to googleservicesframework.apk, tap on it and tap clear data.
10. Reboot
11. Enjoy your universal search

You can do that but it will erase when you reboot. To make it stick, you have to do the full method

Solve this by long press menu at home screen to force search than hit the accept button at the prompt. Search widget should now work. Or just go to your apps and run search app and hit accept.

Thank you so much for this. Made me so happy to have uni search back. F'n Apple and their stupid lawsuits over stuff they stole.
Thanks again and as always...
GOBEARS!
Universal search was keeping me on the LF2 base. While I may need a good reason to come off of LF2 at least now I know I have the option.
Thank you, thank you!
I had been trying an apk that was posted for use on my GTab 8.9, but it never worked on the S3. I consider the $4 for Root Explorer a small price to pay to get this functionality back where it belongs. Kudos!:good:

For those of us on jelly bean (AT&T S3), would this process still be beneficial or does Google Now cover it all?

You can easily tell local search is in Google Now, just search for an app you have in your app drawer using it. This was for ICS when Samsung removed local search.

Does anyone have a working My Files apk they could share? I never use the Samsung file manager, but recently wanted to go back to s-note (mainly use repligo) because the pen works better for it. Sadly, Samsung makes you use their file manager instead of a third party like ES, and I deleted My Files already.
I've tried a few other My Files apks from other roms, but never got them working.
Also, s-note does not sync with dropbox, right? I only see Gdrive for cloud storage.
