It works for me, mostly. I can run it, but it's understandably a little buggy, I mostly only can do one thing, then it needs a restart for another command.

However... the voice recognition for my accent (Lancashire) is WAY better than Siri. Seriously. The voice recognition has been pretty much flawless for me and a friend so far, even with TV in the background, whereas on my friends 4S, it barely understands a word either of us say. It takes a few seconds longer, but it is SO worth it.

Just to let you know, i tried the S Voice from the S3 software on the F1 Galaxy Nexus S ROM and it didn't work for me. It would work once or twice for simple request and then it would crash and stop working. If i asked it a question rather than a basic command it would crash.

Yes, you need to copy app to /system/apps and boot to install...

i thought it would work on any ics phone as some websites suggest,, guess ill have to wait for it a bit longer

My guess is that it will be tweaked over the next few days....

S2 rom modifier Wanam has also taken a look at the S voice and made some modifications.
