How to install S-Voice to galaxy nexus

[Jutch]

Hey everyone. I'm new to rooting and all this stuff so I have a question. How do I install the S-Voice app that was leaked to my rooted Galaxy Nexus. It is rooted but with stock 4.0.2 from verizon. Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I already have the files downloaded and ready to go, I just don't know how to get it on there.

Depends, I've seen a flashable version of S-Voice and the apk. If you have the apk, just use a file browsing program (I use ASTRO) and install from there. If it's the flashable one (ends with .zip), go into your recovery and install .zip through recovery (aka Clockwork Mod).

Does anyone have either of the files? I want to give S-Voice a spin

I have the zip one. It had a bunch of different files in there. Should I just put the whole zip file onto my galaxy and unzip it there?

An expert I am not but what I did was download the file straight to my phone and flashed it in clock work recovery

Hmmmm... I guess I have to unzip it or something because clockwork mod would flash it.

The modded one gets flashed, the regular apk gets side loaded thru a file manager

This isn't S Voice but it's pretty damn close and worth a shot. It's Vlingo's beta which is what I think S Voice is based off of.

Does the Nexus have to be rooted to side load the apk properly?

I don't think so. Just download astro file manager and load it through there. Astro never asks me for super user access

That's correct you don't need root to sideload

I tried installing the APK and it said installation failed.

Did you unzip? You don't need to unzip the file. I'm not sure what would happen if the file is unzipped.

Under security settings you have to make sure you check to allow installation from unknown sources as well.

As was pointed out.. S Voice is just a skinned vlingo (with the basic and beta versions combined a bit)
