Titanium backup is probably the easiest to use. But caution don't remove the wrong apps. Like settings or something like that

ah okay and is System Tuner Pro also good?

I'd also go along with TB, although you'll need to be root to use it probably, the pro version well permit you to freeze applications, so that you can be sure you're removing the correct ones.
Sywepd form my DsereiS
you need to be rooted first.
and try to install root uninstaller.
i used es file explorer, and went to system/app.
before you can delete system files, you have to go to the settings of es fileexplorer. scroll down and tick the third and second lowest boxes.

Guys please...
Those stupid +1 posts aren't helping anyone! They are just useless. When you agree with a post or when you think it helped , then hit the thanks button. But those +1 posts are just making threads unnecessary longer. If you want to get the 10 posts for the dev section, then please with a value input.
Otherwise you didn't earn it IMO to post there.

Ah ok, and whats the command for it? Sorry, for all these questions but tbh I was never deep in the software scene or else.
Do you still have root? You can just use root explorer to copy it over to system/app/blabla.apk
But for adb you have to mount the system, then push the files. This is enough info for google keywords
However, from my experience the x10 doesn't like reinstalling system apps. Best chance is to back up everything with titanium backup and reflash.

Reflashing is not necessary... Do you have windows or mac? I'll make you a script so that it will load it on it's own.

You are exactly right as I just came to the same conclusion. It was the last piece missing to get butter enabled mostly properly. I will have a new build out soon or just have Scott merge my changes on his tree.

The download above is an apk....not a zip, let alone a cwm flashable zip...
Just download es file explorer from playstore(or other root explorer)
Enable root browsing under data
Copy the apk to /system/app

Anyways if its not a .zip then its impossible to flash with recovery...this doesn't mean all zips are flashable tho...what makes a zip flashable is an updater script located in meta-inf/google/android/ (I think that's the location...)

I saw this in the q&a thread. Things are running very smoothly. So, it doesn't fix gps, but i swear things are smoother after installing. I'm not sure that angry gps is responsible out of its just my imagination. Could be both.

Does it work in your own language or EN-US only ?
I have tried those steps on stock ICS LRG 4.04, in french, and while the installation went through, I can't find any link to google now, either in widgets or apps or settings.
The original thread has a reference to the EN-US folder I'm missing in /system/usr/srec ....
thx alot for your tutorial it was clear and helpful.
i just wanted to point out that if you have voice search (the good old one) installed you should remove it in the same way
but keeping it doesnt alter proper functioning of google now.

Do use Titanium Backup App in which u will find three tab (i.e. Overview, Backup/Restore and Schedules)

Works but Offline Voice Search still doesn't
It's excellent, kudos to the devs working on it.
Typed queries work fine, and the performance is awesome. No double takes, no skewered display. Locations is working too.
However there are still issues, first and foremost is the offline dictation. It is as though as its waiting for more input, so it won't search even after receiving the query through the mic, leaving it in 'braille' and waiting for more.
Can't wait for the problem to be fixed though!

Do check
I resolved my problem where the voice program only converts to braille and appears to be waiting for more input. It is because of a bad flash when your system partition has insufficient space to store the libraries and dictation component.
You'll need at least 30MB for the Online version and 60MB if you want offline dictation, which also works if you use Google voice typing.
Clean up your system partition with Root Explorer or Titanium Backup to make space for it. Especially those Live Wallpapers you don't use.
Ensuring you got enough space in system would also probably fix and FCs or other hiccups.
It runs very well on my Galaxy Note ICS 4.0.4 TW with Nova Launcher. Its visibly faster in recognition and the cards appear correctly. Excellent work, developers.

Is their any other way to get it working?

I was asking myself the same question. Everyone talking about this in different threads mention prop editors like ROM Toolbox Pro, so maybe you need to use one of them.
Yeah text is text but you know, nobody ever wrote "Just edit the file with any text editor.."
Is that because Android is Linux / Unix based and editing the file with a text editor could put ^M at the end of each line causing some weird bugs?

It's perfectly safe on apkmirror, it's where everyone gets the apps from! They also include the md5 checksums and the app are all officially signed by Google (in the case of Google apps, obviously)
Easiest way is to root, then copy the apk out.

That is so NOT the easiest way! If your phone is locked then you'd lose everything anyway! The way is suggested is the easiest way but the OP seems a little apprehensive to do it but that's their issue (no offense, OP!!)

Safe or not all depends, as the apk is digital signed, if it had modify or sign with a different cert then it will refuse to update directly and ask you to uninstall first
