for Google Now. You would need to download that file and unzip it. Then put the files in the "system folder" (ignore meta-inf) on your SD card. Then using Root explorer or ES file explorer, move the files into their appropriate folders (/system/app/, /system/lib/, and /system/usr/) and delete system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk, /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox_USA.apk, /system/app/Velvet.apk, if present. Then set the permissions for all the newly imported files as rw-r--r--. Then reboot.
