HELP! Google Now has disappeared after upgrading to 4.2 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I had Google Now working on my galaxy nexus 4.1.2 just fine for a few months until a couple of days ago when i decided to upgrade to 4.2. Now the google voice search is still there and i tried re-installing it but Google Now is not there anymore, and there is no option in settings that mentions enabling/activating google now.
My phone was always rooted, and i thought it may have something to do with the fact that my bootloader was unlocked, so i relocked it
anyone know whats going on?
thanks

Look up Google search in the play store. Does it show as installed? If not, download and install.

The Google Now settings are hidden on the search screen, lower right hand corner. I had this happen when I turned off Google now on an old device I was messing with, and it turned off on my active devices also. For some reason OS updates have triggered this from time to time also.

[Q] accidentally uninstalled nfc..

I have the verizon galaxy nexus and i somehow accidentally uninstalled nfc.. Last month i tried installing one of the hacked google wallet ports for the nexus. I installed it through the clockwork recovery, and made sure to make a backup before doing this. That version of google wallet didnt work right, so i just deleted it with root explorer. When i found out that google wallet can now be installed from the market, i immediately downloaded it to try it out, but every time i tried to open it, it would get an error. So i went to my backup and attempted to copy the old nfc files back to the system folder (i/e: NfcGoogle.apk and com.android.nfc_extras.jar), but that failed to work.
So any ideas on how to fix this and get nfc working again?
Im kinda new to android as a whole, this phone is my first smartphone. Im hoping this is a simple fix and i dont have to to a factory restore or anything. My phone is rooted too if that helps, and I still have the google wallet files i intalled too.
The attachment is a screenshot of what my wireless and networks menu looks like.
Any help is appreciated
"Secure Element Not Responding" ?
If that's the case, sorry, you need a new phone.
You shouldn't have installed any hacked Google Wallet in CWM.
It said that when I had the nfc files from the hacked google wallet..but with the old files it just says "unfortunately, wallet has stopped" ..and I know that now, at the time I just found the easiest guide to follow for installing it though.

Damn
Sorry man, you borked NFC.
You might be able to use it again by flashing back to stock images, but you won't be able to use Google Wallet again, that's for sure.
If you can, try to get an exchange
Huh oh well , I guess ill just give up on using nfc..its not too important to me. Its just too bad I won't be able to use a feature of the phone.
@samsuck Maybe I will flash the stock images sometime this weekend and see if that fixes anything..hopefully it will bring back at least some nfc functionality. Oh and I'm pretty sure its too late for me to exchange phones 0.o

He clearly stated what he did, and that he used an old method that caused harm to a lot of phones. That's not it.

Try flashing back to stock using the google image.

It will work, if you restored the app from a back up, try and this go into the settings in the app and rest the account, you won't lose your money but that helped me it when i switched kernel s

are you trying to install the .apk for google wallet?
I started getting that message a few days after I updated to the latest G Wallet. When I first opened it, it asked for root access and I allowed it. A few days later, I started getting the message and the app quit working. I uninstalled, reinstalled, restored from titanium, etc. Nothing worked. Finally, I tried installing and using a different Google account. The message hasn't been back and it works when i use it. It seems that if you allow root access, google takes note of your account and the fact that you are using a rooted device, but if you use a different account it'll work. Not the ideal workaround, especially if you associate your bank cards with your google account, but its working for me.
Look to pickup the nexus this weekend, i am look to rooted but use the stock. I would like know to know will i get the error unsupported device on the stock rom with G wallet
From what I'm reading it will work, only we are warned that there are no promises that it won't be hacked....

This also worked perfectly on my takju. Thanks to OP.
I can confirm this. Followed the instructions and the JB 4.1.1 update showed up.

This worked for me too, but it crashed while updating in recovery. My phone is stock, and now when I try the trick again, I can't get the update...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Honestly I think the main thing is clearing the data and checking. People seem to be throwing in other steps that I didn't do, but who knows maybe its a different situation for others.
Plus we're going to start seeing a ton of threads with variations of this "trick".

well worked for my galaxy nexus 4.0.4, its now updating to 4.1 thx to op
This worked for me. I have been checking every five minutes for the last couple days, clearing Framework, restarting, using different networks, and as soon as a tried this I received the update. Another thing to note, I checked for the update right before I used this "trick" to make sure it wasn't just a coincidence and I was still receiving the dreaded "Phone up to date" or whatever. So for this to be a coincidence would be a pretty low probability.
Thanks OP.
Even if this didn't do anything, I got the update finally.

Worked beautifully! I now have Android 4.1.1.
One quick correction: Google Framework is Google Services Framework.
Also, until 13 July 11:28 P.M. Google will only permit you to install using WiFi.
I tried it worked then restored root with voodoo. I am forwarding this info to others. A lot do not know about this.
my other phone is Nokia maemo n900
I did your trick, it working for me. But when it installing I get this error ; E : signature verification failed
I only rooted en unlocked the bootloader..
Thanks

Apps won't stay disabled

Anyone having any problems with some apps not staying disabled? I'm having trouble with Google movies and Google books. I disable them and eventually they come back and I see the update in the market for them. I go back in and disable.tjem. I know I could root and delete them but I'm waiting on my pc so I can't yet. Anyone have a solution? Thanks

At least I know I'm not crazy. I looked this issue up and didn't find a lot but I did find someone say to disable Google partner setup along with the apps. So far since I did that they haven't come back yet but I dont know what Google partner setup is.

I would also like to know why. I have this same problem with Chat On, but I think it is Samsung related
Get rooted, you can either remove or freeze them.

Have you accepted the terms from the Play app on the phone yet? And have you installed any apps from the Play on your phone? That's about all I can think of..
EDIT: Not to degrade your knowledge, but you do have the same google account linked to the s3?
