How Stable is Google Now on ICS 4.0.4 (SGH-I747) - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I'd like Google Now sooner than later. I've held off rooting my phone. If I root and install Google Now, how's the experience currently? Many glitches/issues?
Also, I'm unclear on if I root, do I have to install all my apps again and set all my settings back? That will be a pain just to get Google Now.
Bottom line, if there's a high chance of issues and/or a lot of work, I might as well keep waiting for the JB update.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

EDIT, apparently there is a hacked version.

I have ICS and it works fine, you don't need to reinstall all your apps if your just putting Google now on your phone

It mostly works on ics. The only thing that I've found that doesn't work is using the back key to close out of the main app.

Google Now doesn't work with ICS, it only works on Jellybean roms. And its stable for me, works and all. And yes you have to reinstall apps if you flash a new rom, but they can be backed up in Titanium Backup. Settings are reset as well.

And you sir are incorrect. There is a version that has been hacked to work in ics. You can find it in the apps section.

Apologies. Didn't realize there was a hacked version. I just don't like the idea of touchwiz and google now, I just like it a lot better with stock JellyBean.

that makes no sense. GoogleNow is just an app. Your real statement is that you don't like touchwiz...that really has nothing to do with GoogleNow. That's like saying..."I don't like the idea of using facebook on a TW rom". And if you don't like TW, that's perfectly fine; no one is making you use it.

So is anyone going to point me to the instructions for how to install it on this phone?
Or is this it? (requires rooting)

That is what I said. As stated "I just don't like the idea of touchwiz and google now, I just like it a lot better with stock JellyBean." So there you just proved that my statement is in fact, perfectly fine. Let's keep this clean. Last thing we need is a flamefest.

I fully understand that... but touchwiz has nothing to do with GoogleNow... period... GN is installed on everything that has jellybean. The reason he doesn't have it installed is because he is on ICS; not because he is using touchwiz. Which means that the valid answer to his question is to install the hacked version. You really added nothing to this conversation by stating that you didn't like the idea of using GoogleNow on touchwiz. Who cares what you like or don't like? That doesn't answer the op's question.

OK, I'm sorry for stating my opinion, my lack of knowledge with "hacked" apps and my presence. I was trying to be helpful to the OP but instead had to defend myself because my opinion may have offended others. Sorry and thank you.

Can u pls explain what u did to flash skyics onto our phone? Im guessing its not just flash n go is it?
I've been DD'ing EasyDoesIt ICS rom, especially since the rotation fix came out. I made sure to Darkside Wipe 2x (not that you need to but, I'm stupersticious), flashed the necessary ZIPs and fixed permissions after my first reboot. I have had really no major issues, except battery life has taken a hit, compared to stock, and I've had some FCs of the Gallery. It's nearly ready for prime time. Oh! One more thing. Make sure to try Nova Launcher. I prefer it much more than Apex or Twiz. If I helped, click the thanks button and good luck!

Really, no one can give you a straightforward answer without knowing what it is about the S Pen you want to keep. The air view and the like? If so, JediROM has those TouchWiz features as I recall. Otherwise, just about any ROM for the SGN2 will work.

NFC Issue
I've rooted my GNII, I'm still with the stock ROM, and have GoogleWallet. I have an NFC that happens every so often. Mainly when I run my camera app, music player app, and GooglePlay. My phone will freeze for about 5 secs then a window pops up saying "unfortunately, NFC service has stopped". I have tried multiple "NFC Fixes" by flashing them in CWM and manually moving the files in Root Explorer with no success. GW works fine along with everything else. It's just horribly irritating. If I flash JellyThunder, will this alleviate the problem?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
And I'm wondering what caused your problem in the first place. I bet it's how you got Google Wallet working on your stock firmware. Because I seen something b4, about changing/fixing your nfc file.:what: In order to get wallet working! So I didn't try it. And when Jelly Thunder came out and said Google Wallet worth no problems. I was very excited, with everyone eke that wanted it.
So all that being said: I WILL SAY THAT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WYETH THIS ROM WHAT SO EVER!
So I would try to do a clean wipe of your system. Then install the Rom and give it a few days to c how it quirks out for you. OR you can just wait for the NEW RELEASE COMING SOON! !:thumbup:

First, its not his epic fail... no one knows why it does it. Also, try anti-venom script. Worked for me. Also, please keep in mind, these guys do all this for free in their spare time... don't talk crap about them for something such as this. You kinda need to know why it does it before you can fix it.

Seems standard one would test to see if other roms could be flashed after the fact. That would seem a normal behavior of anyone who flashes roms. Wasn't insulting the guy personally, just his rom for screwing up half the boards phones. Lol. Also I think that script requires a pay app or something for flashing. Cwm doesn't work does it? Or did that change?

I would also add that viper was beta tested for literally months before it was released. No genius tried flashing cm10 somewhere in there? Maybe the author didn't fail I don't know. Either that or the entire beta process is fail. Flashing other roms seems awfully basic. Just thought I'd add that to my last comment though. Again not insulting any dev personally. Just the rom. Months of beta testing to release a rom that screws up your phone is hard to describe in any way other than fail.

Actually, the script is something you flash in any recovery. Its rather simple. Also, I'd challenge you on whether its basic to test that as most of the people who were on the testing team weren't exactly worried about flashing other ROMs after viper... myself included. Whether you're insulting any person or not, you're still calling someone's work (something that shouldn't even be able to work on this phone no less) garbage is rather insulting no matter if you meant it as such or not. Also, check this: the ROM hasn't screwed up anyone's phone, and last I checked there's a disclaimer that says flash at your own risk. I was a beta tester and I'll have you know its one of the best testing groups I've been a part of and everything was covered. Absolutely none of the testing team encountered any issues that weren't soon fixed after. Any and all issues found through testing were eradicated. Only so much can be tested, however, and every device is different. In testing we encountered no problems whatsoever, and the fact that you would make statements such as this is appalling. Also keep in mind cm10 is currently running on a hacked up gingerbread kernel, also something that shouldn't technically work. I'm also typing this now from PACman which is part cm10 and not getting any hiccups. If you wish to continue this discussion, feel free to pm me and I'll even show you in detail the steps taken to get it all off the ground, but please do not reply here further cluttering the thread.
Also, in case you were wondering, if cwm doesn't work for flashing the script, you can always get the free version of the 4ext recovery app from 4ext.net…

Not a problem. Thanks for the info. I didn't even intend to talk about any of that at length. I think you went on about it more than I. Lol. I simply repeat it was tested for months to release a rom that messed your phone up so bad you couldn't install cm10. Seems a big oversight. I know all roms have disclaimers. Doesn't mean where one fails a failure can't be pointed out anyways. That's all I've done. Thanks for the info tho. I actually asked about it in the script thread and never heard anything definitive or the issue really discussed. I'm a simple user. Just do all flashing through cwm. Sorry this thread got off track. Didn't need to be highjacked like this. Agree. Sweet icons. Always fun to change them up!

I never make posts like this. This is usually nitsua or jizzy lately (haha).
I don't like you. From all the things I can gather about you through your posts, you are ignorant and ungrateful. I hate so much the things you've chosen to be. If you want something stable, don't root your phone. Nitsuj17, the "author" of Viper, has released quite a few ROMs for this phone despite moving on to greener pastures. He and the various devs including aeroevan, chillybean, CondemnedSoul, khamsakamal, and others I might be missing have given us ICS and even JB, which is more than we can ask of them for free and more than we've seen from HTC.
Have I encountered lag on ICS/JB ROMs? Yes. Does it suck, yeah. But that's part of the game when you root your phone sometimes. All of our latest ROMs are using a kernel that's too old because newer source isn't available due to being left out to dry by HTC. Be happy you get to even see 4.0+ at this point. Have some respect please, and maybe you'll have ours someday.
Good day, sir.

I've only been in this thread for 2 minutes and already I can tell you are a complete worthless contribution to this community and the Android system all together. It is people like you who make the iPhone people actually have a point. You are everything that Android should not be, do us all a favor and just shut your mouth or go get an iPhone because clearly you don't deserve the benefits of Android. You do nothing for this community, and just run your mouth like you know what you are talking about, offending contributors that spend hours upon hours of their free time to do this. If you are too dumb to figure out how to flash from one ROM to the next that is not the developers fault, it is user error, and not just user error you come here and bash people because of your stupidity. It's people like you that make the real contributors not even want to publicly release their work. Go away, grow up, get a life, and get off mommy and daddys verizon plan, we don't want you here.

Paranoid android vs aokp

So I've been doing some reading on these two roms and I have to say, I like the layout and app settings available in paranoid android. But aokp seems to have a bigger following . I just regrettably flashed jedi xx last night . Love his roms, but I hate wiping and setting everything up again. Can anyone tell me which of the 2 roms they like and why? Appreciate your input!

So I've been doing some reading on these two roms and I have to say, I like the layout and app settings available in paranoid android. But aokp seems to have a bigger following . I just regrettably flashed jedi xx last night . Love his roms, but I hate wiping and setting everything up again. Can anyone tell me which of the 2 roms they like and why? Appreciate your input!

I went back to JediXX and couldn't be happier; considering problems that are still lurking in AOSP/AOKP - 4.2.x still too buggy for me. I'd wait till all the kinks are resolved.

Jedi-XX is definitely a great rom, MUCH faster than what i was using before (Jedi-x3 i think). But I am being heavily seduced by Paranoid android, aokp, and now a new one has caught my eye.... Rootbox (formerly jellybam).

Root box is good I tried it but I like Carbon, 4.2.2 and Voodoo sound.

They all have little kinks but.
I like theme chooser.
4.1.2 vs 4.2.2
No Samsung crap
Voodoo sound
Full AOSP

I've decided to give carbon a try and in all honesty I don't see any benefit of it vs jedi/tw roms. Camera has no low light option, and its rather important to me; call audio is just terrible, scratchy. Besides, i like all that Samsung "crap".
I guess it's the "Return of The Jedi" for me

Well I tried flashing them all. And to my dismay, there is a BIG problem. I can't download any apps until I clear the play store and download manager. Then I have to download them all manually. Which I would do, but then it doesn't tlet me re download my purchased apps for free... Deal breaker. Which sucks because I prefer their rom features. Don't care for the s pen or Samsung stuff

I love carbon,aokp and paranoid android for asthetics but the leck of solid bluetooth connectivity coupled with my preference for the default samsung keyborad has made me go back to jedi roms. If they manage to iron out the bluetooth issues ill flash those and never look back. but since i use bluetooth ALOT for calls and music, not so much

Different strokes. I like being on the latest version of Android and Wolfson audio is better than anything out there. I have no call issues. I have had 3 Nexus devices b4 this one. I prefer AOSP.
If I want a new theme I have a choice of hundreds and I don't have to flash it. Don't have to flash every little UI mod.

Nope... Have not had that issue on any of the ASOP Liquid, Root Box, CM, AOKP or Carbon.

Are you using a custom DPI? That can cause market issues. I just stick with the standard
I think there is a modded playstore out there that does not have the issues.

No i wanted to let it all finish before changing the UI. I got it working though. I edited my build.Prop to show that I have a t889 instead of the n7105. I haven't head ant troubles so far. I have no idea why I had to do this and others have not, but it works. Took me all night to get it to work lol. Going to bed now, will play with the ROM when I wake and report back

it tells you how to disable to soft buttons in the thread. you go into interface and make it "0"
I'm running Task650 AOKP on my S4 and I love it!!! I wish it did have some features Paranoid Android has but I am about 97% satisfied.
I'm thinking about flashing the GE Rom but i'm not sure I want to lose all the extra features that I get with a custom ROM.
Make sure you read the change logs and all the features to make sure its what you want.
Try Moon Rom version 1....touchwiz, floating windows, and tablet and Hanley mode...n7105 Rom working great on T-Mobile...I'm also using devil kernel and recovery dual boot, so I can choose my paranoid Rom on the fly when I want to.... best of both worlds...

I guess, I was trying to avoid it, lol. Too many roms to read through. Thanks.
I'm running Wicked Rom V5 with Compulsion Rom and it is smooth and fast with no lag. I'also running Apex launcher also.

The best option is to read. Pick a rom for that day, read through the whole topic. Thats what I did. Im hsing jedi elite with saber kernel. I have to say, I havent had any issues with it. If not, then good luck. Dont know whag else to tell you....because reading through is yiur best friend. You can ask people what the best rom is but you wont know the features and issues on the rom until you dont read uo on it.....

Thanks, I read some and found "W03 Slim V5" I'm a fan of slimkat roms, I had it on my S3, I currently have it on my Note 2, so I guess I'll install this for my friend. I wish he knew how to do this for himself.
This isn't even my phone model, and I agree.

He's never going to get the same experience as someone else anyway. He should pick a rom he thinks looks interesting and run it for a few days to see if it's running well on his device. He's the one who should be looking through them and learning how to do the whole process from you.

Haha. Well said. And tell him to root via kingo, and then odin twrp. But make sure his phkne is able to root that beast. I know with att you cant.

All of the roms are good, and all have their own little touch, you would need to flash a couple and see which one floats the boat, all of the people here are correct....just find the one that fits you best....
Good luck.

OK, thanks guys, I've decided to give him the slimkat rom I mentioned earlier. I just have to get home first and prep the files for rooting then installing the room, I'm most definitely going to teach him how to do it him self. If this were my note 3 I would've tried so many roms by) within the first 24 hrs of having the device lol.
If he wants AOSP, I've tried most of them and, in my opinion, Sinless ROM GooglePlay Rendition is the best. SUPER FAST. Or Gummy Rom which is also great. If he wants TW, I would go either Jedi or DarthStalker although they're both JB. TW kitkat I would go with MyRom, but its a bit finicky.

One of the roms that I like personally is X note rom. It's a rom for international version hence there's a need to flash a fix file.
Currently it's based on kit Kat and hence I am waiting for a proper kernel and the fix file.
This rom has some good features that are useful for me

Hmm, I love AOSP, but I'm not sure I'd load up AOSP for someone who can't figure out how to do it themselves. More than likely, it will not be as stable or feature rich for the end user as compared with TW. I would highly recommend Tweaked 2.0. It's stock based, and all the options/features implemented are completely stable and do not interfere with each other. Tweaked is what you can load for your significant other without having to hear them complain 3 days later about how their "phone messed up".
Jedi Elite v5 w/ Saber.
The ROM is super stable, solid and clean. Battery life is excellent.
Look no further...just flash this ROM.
