Any phones running AOSP roms can be modified to run Google Now....... Haven't tried it myself and I'm not experienced enough with Motorola devices to know roms installed using safestrap would still be able to run this or if that makes a difference at all with modifying build.prop files but I just figured some of the geniuses here could figure out a way to make it work!

I'm on Hashcode's flashable 211 stock rom & it installs fine following the instructions, it just hangs at initializing & prompts to retry. But it does open.....

According to the thread it does have issues with OEM skinned roms which would include the stock 211 safestrap ROM. Even though i have never been able to get any of the ics roms built off .211 working completely I still might try again just to test out google now on the RAZR and see what happens...... I'll give an update on the results

Meh, safestrap is better in my opinion, but you don't really NEED the fastboot files lol. We have a fastboot-ish method for getting everyone back on stock 211 if something was to happen. Feel free to install with bootstrap but I cannot promise you won't have any issues.

I know you can't guarantee it to work with bootstrap so that's why i try not to clutter up the forum with issues that arise from installing the newest roms with bootstrap...... I hate to say it but i think with the inclusion of google now working i might go to the dark side and start using safestrap lol..... After i try bootstrap first of course haha

try safestrap first. once you get the hang of it, it's fairly simple.

Wish that worked. Think there's incompatibility with the api's on the stock 211.

I don't like the stripped down ROMS, call me whatever you want, but BLUR is pretty dang cool and I love the integration. I'll have to wait til someone makes this work with IKream or something else that is blur, not sure i can take the plunge again. That being said, I like bootstrap much better than safestrap.

Well it's supposed to be on an AOSP ICS build. Not a skinned build.
