[Q] GPS screen app

I had a GPS app way back on my hero that I would love to have again. I can't remember what it's called though and Ive searched for it for quite some time using all kinds of key words here and on Google.
Anyway. The app allows you to look up the street through the camera on your phone and it will show the locations of restaurants, gas stations, pool halls, whatever. All on the screen. Does anyone know what it is called if it even exists anymore?
I hope I put this question in the proper place. If not, please move it to the right place. Thanks for the help guys.

I believe it's called wikitude world browser. Hope I helped.

Not exactly the same app but it's darn close. Thanks so much I_FLY_Z3R0.

Perhaps you're referring to Layar.

I just feel like if they were going to change anything it should have been in a way that matched ICS a little better

WTF!? "Play"?
Got this Update a few minutes ago.
Is Google kidding me?
What was wrong with "Market"?

Why is it not matching ICS? The icon and app pages are halo light and overview in halo dark. It matches perfectly (if you saw the android developer site.)
Though I do miss Andy. They need to put him somewhere in the market.

"Market" is not a name

Just got it as well.
I like how they replaced everything with 'Play'.
Instead of 'Read The Hunger Games' it's 'Play The Hunger Games'
Hopefully they'll update something worthwhile soon so I can 'Play with Google Wallet' instead of having it broken.

im ok with the 'play' name its the icon/logo i dont like, market was prettier

I recall reading a blog mentioning that the term "app" was patented by you-know-who. They even had an issue with Amazon's store because it had the same name.

When you click on the settings it says "apps" or "my apps" it was there.

Bit off topic, but does anyone of the apk for Play Music? I hear that it's fairly different to the stock player, well and I can't get it here in Germany.
Thanks!
EDIT: NVM, market enabler does the trick

To receive it, just clean market cache (only cache is enough), reboot, open market (wait a bit,in background it should download the update), exit, reopen and bam you will receive the play store...its confirmed to work

Google NOW (working on SGSIII)

I saw this on Engadget and tried it out on my AT&T SGSIII running Kyan ROM and it worked. Thought I would link the forum here so everyone could see it. Its not mine, just sharing the "now goodness".

Figured it out. If you want it to listen what you say, you need to say "Google" first and then whatever you want to do like "note to self"

My mom just got the SGSIII yesterday and wanted Google Now. Glad to see this works.

for anyone interested in replacing the "voice dial" with google now voice search follow these instructions:
1.)Go into S-voice settings and uncheck the option "Launch S-Voice"
2.)Download a free app from the market called "home2 shortcut" (or link here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eikatou0.appspot.home2shortcut)
3.)Set the double tap home option (Home> Home) to launch "Voice Search" from installed applications. (make sure it displays a blue microphone when you do this)
4.)Continue with the instructions for the app and close the app.
5.)Test it out, if it doesn't launch directly into the voice search after doing the double home then follow the next few steps, if it does then skip to step 8.
6.)Open the Google Now app (it will be listed as "Google" in your app drawer)
7.)Press menu>refresh.
8.)Reboot
9.)Enjoy having Google Now on your Ice cream sandwich Samsung Galaxy S3!

This is simply a tutorial on how to replace Samsung's crappy s-voice with the amazing Google Now voice search!

2.)Make sure they are on your internal SD card and reboot into recovery
3.)choose install zip file and navigate to wherever the file is (if you are unsure then there is a good chance that it is filed under downloads/mikey7_offline.zip)
4.)once you are done with this, turn your device back on and verify that the app "Google" is in your app drawer
5.)If so then continue with the tutorial, if not then retry and if that does not resolve the issue then post questions in this forum.
Step 2: Activating Google Now
1.)Make sure you have Google latitude installed and have set up your account for latitude before continuing just to be safe.
2.)Launch the Google Now app and go through the setup until you click the "Yes, I'm in." option and your cards appear

Great post! Thanks!

Thanks for this...is there a way to set this up so that a single press while in my launcher (Nova Launcher) returns to the default screen? Single presses in the launcher do not currently do anything.

You maybe can go into gestures settings in nova and set up the double tap for voice search in nova. However, you may have to triple press. This was actually my work around for a small time. You may have to buy the premium nova in order to use gestures though. Hope this works!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

the manual search is working perfectlly on my tab 10.1 running 4.0.4.
but the voice function is not. the message of "shell has been granted in su perm" kept appering for tens of times. then the app get forced to close.
thanks for the great effort...

Everything went smooth, just "Step3/#6". I don't have Google Now icon in my app drawer, but I do have "Voice Search" icon.
Is it the same?

It will be labeled as "Google" if it isn't then try reflashing the package

Is it easy to revert back to S-Voice? Not saying i would but if you have to.
Edit: Never mind. Doing the guide in reverse order works.

Or you can just manually tap-type the sear word then select it from the list of auto corrects at the top then select it again to save...

That only works if the swear word is recognized as a misspelling. For instance sexy won't swipe but since it isn't a misspelled word so manually typing it doesn't give an option to save.
