Root [International] Remove Google Now from CheckRom ICS install

[seeafish]

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.
I just installed Checkrom V4 on my phone, and using KitchenPro, I installed Google Now as well. Problem is, Google Now doesn't work on ICS it seems and it's taken over from S Voice, which even though crappy, still serves some purpose when driving.

I can't seem to figure out what packet Google Now is. Does anyone know how to remove it?

Thanks.

I'm running Checkrom V4 as well, and it's my guess that the dev's removed S-Voice in it's totallity from this rom. I think the dissapearence of S-Voice had nothing to do with you installing Google Now. (but I'm new to this and I might be wrong).

CheckROM removes (or suppresses??) the standard Samsung apps. You can resintall them all again from the KitchenPro, which I have done. S Voice is on my phone ad working, but Now has taken over the double tap combo, and I can't disable it. This means that the completely useless Now will pop up when I try to do things while driving.

In titanium I can see "Google Search v2". Perhaps that's it?

Gotcha. Can't u uninstall Google Now using a the Root Uninstaller app. That way you dont have to guess what the packets name is - it'll probably name it for you in the list.

Didn't even know about that hehe. Installed and checked, sadly there's nothing called "Google now"... hmm. I think I'll just reflash. Don't wanna mess everything up.

I did a good old fashioned google search and the Google Now packet should be this guy: /system/usr/srec/
(at least according to these dudes:Root: Google Now Almost Fully Working On Ice Cream Sandwich! | | DroidDog Android BlogDroidDog Android Blog)

Try it, curious to hear if that works.

Hmm, bit apprehensive about just removing that, but I might give it a go as I'll probably just reflash anyway.
Having said that, I'm more curious to see if I can get it working (as the guy in the post)... that would be a better solution.

According to his post it was working, but with glitches. The sexy voice might be worth it tho.

Perms were already set as he said (think it's default tbh), but Now still doesn't really work. Can't voice dail or anything.
Also, friend of mine says that dir is the voice recog stuff, so removing it probably isn't an option.

I'll reflash!

I'm more of the 'let's try anything we can always flash'-approach (phyrric victories are the best kind), but yours is probably the wiser call.

Haha yeah... it was a time issue for me. Had to leave work and wanted a working phone for the drive back!
