Hey everyone.
First, I can't take credit for any of this. User mcmb03 is the one who found the thread and asked about it in the Q&A section. I went ahead and tested it out, and was able to get Google Now working on CleanROM 4.0SE, albeit not without its problems. (These problems are affecting all users, not just Sense users.)
Known issues
-Voice Search is broken
-"Show more cards" may cause a Force Close if there are no other cards to load. If you've done some searching, and Google Now has learned, for example, your favourite sports teams and there are actually more cards to load than what are on the initial page, it WILL load more cards.
- and possibly some other things we haven't noticed yet
To get it working, go here and follow the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28226043&postcount=1
Then, in the same thread, jump to page 15 and follow the instructions in the second post down, #142 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28234189&postcount=142)
Happy Nowing!
EDIT: After testing for an hour or so, it seems like absolutely everything is working now except for Voice Search. Of course, there could be other problems we just haven't discovered yet.
so... most of it is broken? QUICK LETS ADD THIS TO EVERY ROM NOW!!!
Then complain about the broken stuff to the dev!

Wondeful idea!
Still better then stock.
Thank you
Turns out I was wrong about the automatic card displays. I was under the assumption that a traffic notification would pop up without any user interaction, but you've actually gotta pull up Google Now, and when you've got an upcoming meeting, the top card will show you your meeting info and a traffic report.

lol Red5, of all the mods of all the xda forums I've partaken in, you're by far the spunkiest.
And I wouldn't say most of it's broken. The Voice Search, which is obviously a huge part of it, is the most broken part. It doesn't work at all. The "Show More Cards" link at the bottom causes a crash. Maybe this is because I have no more cards waiting to be viewed, I'm not sure.
I do get automatic cards showing up with a traffic report when I've got an upcoming meeting. I also did a search for "Toronto Blue Jays," and above the web results, I got a Google Now card recapping the most recent game (the Royals kicked our a$$!) And now that I've searched for the Blue Jays a couple times, it'll be interesting to see if Now is really learning my preferred sports teams, and the cards automatically show up when there's a new ballgame.

You don't get a FC when you click "Show More Cards" at the bottom? If that's the case, did you do anything different from the instructions I posted in my OP?

Nope, that's different. That's the "more" tab for search results. I mean when you open Google Now (from the app drawer, not from the widget), scroll to the bottom of your cards, and click "Show More Cards."
And actually... now that I've been using Now for an hour or so, I clicked the "Show More Cards" and it works now! It shows additional cards that may be useful to me, such as transit routes, the upcoming Jays game (so it did learn one of my "favourite" sports teams.)
So, as far as I can tell, absolutely everything is working except Voice Search. It really is getting more awesome to use as it learns things about me.
I hate to ask this because i'm sure your playing around with it at the moment. But any chance you could upload the Velvet.apk from the original post? (or will the second one work, it wont let me install). I'm trying to download it and wont get past 3.0

Yep, that should be all there is to it. Do you have "Unknown Sources" allowed in your Development Settings? Cuz you might need that enabled.

push to /system/app/ and set permissions to rw-r-r
So just to make sure, I don't actually have to install the app? Just download, rename it to "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" (rename/delete old one as well), copy it to /system/app/ set permissions, then reboot?
Installed through instructions in second link from op, but get a fc when I open the app, also YouTube fcs for some reason

good job, makes it easer
I didn't find the directions too difficult to follow...though they didn't really make it very clear that the apk needs to be registered first.
However, even though I register the app on my phone with my email address, my computer still says unregistered. Any ideas? I'm using google apps with a custom domain. It took my login, it just said it was unregistered...
Good guide EkostonS. I got it working. But uhm what's the purpose for this chrome-phone extension? It just opens up the link on the phone? Perhaps I am missing the bigger picture, haha.

I stopped using it for this reason. Having to switch text input was irritating me. I just use the stock keyboard, works fine.
I stopped using it because of this issue until I flashed CM7. Figured i would give it another try. It has not stopped working in the 3 days that I have been using CM7, so maybe it had something to do with AR?
Does it come on all the roms? Can't find swype on mine.

I have the same issues with Swype on AR 3, and now RCMix HD 4.1... But since there's an easy workaround, I'll keep using it as I like Swyping so much.
It works fine on my stock, un-rooted Inspire. I just simply downloaded the latest Swype apk file, and side loaded it through SWM. Simple, clean and easy. It works flawlessly, and has been for weeks now.
I just started having this problem today actually. I have been using it for a week and a half now. Don't know why it just happened today. I had to reset it twice earlier but fine now.

you have to sign up for the beta here where they send you a download link. At which point in your browser it may tell you that you are not using an android device. If you encounter this change your settings to show as a mobile and then you should be able to download and load it the way they show there
link as follows

happy hunting
After reading the terms of service on XDA regarding swype, I removed this post. The post linked to another member who linked the apk file. In the future, anyone considering posting a swype apk file should read this...

Screw the beta version. Use the verified Swype. Maybe since it's a beta, that is why folks here are having problems. Just download the apk (non-beta version) and simply sideload the file with 'Sideload Wonder Machine'. Quick and easy.

How do you know this is the "Real" version and not just the apk someone got from the beta?

Just passing this on, almost started a thread to ask for help before finding the answer with Google.
After using Bubbys simple root, everything has been working fine except for a couple of things. Noticed a couple of issues with the market; first, it started trying to install all of my apps at once, and none were actually finishing installing. I had to go and cancel downloads of all the ones I could, then restart the downloads; worked fine then. Everything I've tried to install has worked that way that I've tried except Angry Birds. Tried to install it, got an error and wouldn't install. Tried pushing it in, same problem. It was driving me crazy, but I just came across a suggestion that I tried. Unmount the SD card, install, remount the card; works great. Just passing it on if anyone else has a market install problem after Bubbys root.
This should probably be posted in bubbys thread for his one click simple root. So he can add it to the f.a.q. That would seem to be the most appropriate place for it.
Thank you for the info though.

Gonna post it there too, because I have another issue I haven't solved and need some answers for. Just trying to skim through to make sure it hasn't been addressed already. These threads are damn hard to read through, though, there are so many posts (2,340 right now!). It cracks me up when someone asks a question and someone else gives a snippy comback about how it was already asked and answered 30 pages back on page 43.
EDIT: Should have looked over the FAQ better to start with.
"Q: Why are my Market downloads paused/not working?
A: This is actually a Market issue, but has a fairly easy fix:
Open Settings>Applications>Manage Applications.
Select the Market app.
Click “Clear Cache” and/or “Clear Data” if either of them are able to be pressed.
Reboot your Inspire."
Works better than my way.

okay the only ua string options I see is
Android - Doesnt work get message that I need to update Adobe Flash
Desktop - Doesnt work get the same message
iPhone - Does work but so far every tv show, movie, clip, or trailer I click say The video is not available on the iPhone
so ya if you can go over the string part and let us know which your using that would be appreciated.

Well, it does,
just takes the ability to know that you have to complete all the steps listed in any instructions for anything to work.
a correct way to say it, would have been something like:
"I tired your apk, and here is a pic of the error, ( insert pick here)
I see that your on such and such rom, does it only work for that style of rom, or did I do something wrong?"
Well something, somewhere around something like that.

That's my thread I linked you too.
Be humble, newcomer
Be more respectful, to all in this community.
Give facts about what rom you tried this exact one on.
The more info you give when asking for help, the more help you get.
"Open browser, change ua to linux desktop, mac desktop or IE6" could you expand on this a bit more?

Now,
open your stock browser
Press menu
Go to setings
(Some stock browsers make you got into Advanced settings to see next option, some don't)
Select user agent
If your browser doesn't offer this option, you fail a step and the logical next step is to get a browser/rom that has that option.
so then what browser are you using then and what string are you using, obviously it would make sense to post your exact settings if its working for you. if your running a custom string then alright Dolphin HD lets us use custom so again like you said providing more information helps and works both ways.
