NowNow is a new tweak from Nick Frey that makes it easy to replace Siri with Google Voice Search.

Start Google Voice Search from anywhere in iOS, much like Siri. On install, setup an Activator method in Settings.

NowNow is especially useful for older devices and firmwares that don't support Siri. It's recommended to use the Short Hold home button method for the best effect.

NowNow requires the latest Google Search app installed from the App Store. You can download the tweak from the BigBoss Cydia Repository for free.

Glad to use this and get rid of the resource heavy Siri hacks for iPhone 4 and their slow servers. Lite Quick and easy.

Works great. Don't know why some people disable Siri, they can coexist. I used the double tap of sleep wake button to activate NowNow and leave the home button for Siri. There are a bunch of things you can do with Siri that this app can't. So I use both.

Are you sure you want to do this? Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

Hey the video shows Google search answering the time in voice as well as displays the time. Is that true? My iPhone4 doesn't answer it in voice, instead only shows the time result displayed. How do I get the spoken answer?

I have iphone 4 and i get voice time and display on screen no problem. Do you have an issue with your speaker?

It looks like it has lots of potential. Unfortunately, People (like me) who have the iPhone 5 will have to wait for a Jailbreak before we can install that tool! :-(

You don't need that tool if you habe an iphone 5

And why do you say that? How do you run Google Voice instead of Siri by using the home button?
