Dont have that one
Is there any chance this happens because i'm not from the US? im from latin america
if so any way i could get it?

I doubt this will work in Latin America. I saw a pulled apk of this somewhere in the forums.
You could sideload it probably without issue but hen Google would see your IP and likely tell you it isn't supported.
Its no big deal anyway.
Sound hound , shazam, etc... same type.

They've changed name. I remember downloading GoogleEars.apk few months back on here. When I googled it, I got sound search instead. It can't recognize humming or things that you sing to it. Still using SoundHound.

It's there but you need to use Titanium Backup to defrost it - and again after every reboot.

seems that i'll need to buy shazam, thanks anyways

I found Google Ears / Sound Search to be way quicker than Shazam.

Messaging app for Nexus 7

Before I got my Nexus, I used my Droid X as my primary internet browsing device. Now, of course, I use my Nexus for that but I don't have an easy way of sending links or pictures to all my friends (preferably straight to their SMS inboxes). I'm using Google Voice for texting but you can't send pictures. Anyone have any good alternatives? It would be nice to have a hacked stock Messaging app that can utilize your Google Voice number or something but I'm not sure how feasible this is. Also if anyone could assist me in getting calls to work through the Voice app I'd appreciate that too

Check out Tablet Talk in play store. Don't know if u can send pictures though.

Not quite what I'm looking for only because I'm looking for a more standalone approach but I do appreciate your suggestion

I just installed Google voice on my sons N7, let's him use it for text and seems good so far.

[Q] Offline Voice Recognition

I've got CM 10.1(20130709) running on my Defy+ and Gapps(gapps-jb4.2-20130301 by TJKV). How do I get offline voice recognition? I've read this thread and couldn't understand what needs to done.

Download the voice pack
Using root file explorer, link the voice pack(en-US) folder to /system/usr/srec
Also try the app utter voice commands on play store

Seems like all it takes is the Google search app from play store. No need for the tedious linking/complex commands

I'm using the Google Search app from the Play Store. I can't find the option to download offline voice packs anywhere.

Actually, no, based on my attempt! I already have this version of Google Search, but no Offline Recognition option to choose from, unless I'm missing something?

Exact same issue I faced. I had posted that without trying it out.

Best GPS app for Drivers with live stats

Today i descoverd the most cool app for drivers name simply Waze, you can find out lots of stuf in real time(police,gas stations,trafic jam,accident...) Let's use it in big numbers so we can take care of each other in traffic.

LMAO... I thought its drivers that you install in your computer.. Title is a little misleading?!?!?!

If it was a program ok it would be in the title but this is the apps thread...why would you think otherwise?

Thx for the info.:good:

waze is awsome !! I use it often and it's better than any navigation app because it's like a social navigation gps.
You can instantly know why your road is blocked for example.. because users share it.

I've used it before on other phones haven't gotten around to it again, but yeah it's pretty cool.
Especially when someone else on the same road as you is using it and you pass each other, everyone in both cars is looking around to see who else is using waze!

Waze and Google maps actually share the same information. While Google maps may be missing the social aspect, there's not much else different between the two. Google acquired Waze in June of last year.

Google acquired waze earlier this year and has started integrating waze feature into google maps

Yeah, part of it was buying up the competition but each has something the other needs so it makes sense. Waze has a good framework for gathering live traffic data and stuff like warnings about speed traps and accidents as people report them. They don't have a very efficient way to manage/update map data and their map data isn't as good as Google's. Also they didn't have many advertisers so they weren't making any money.
Google has great map data and connections to advertisers but they didn't have the level of live/social data updates that Waze has.
So Google bought Waze and is able to support the project financially and with map data while gaining better live analysis data about delays and traffic and cops and stuff.
I'm assuming at some point they will become the same thing (either keep Waze and make it "Waze powered by Google" or just roll them all into Google Navigation).

I'm not sure it works for everyone.Can you just go through the language settings and chuck the language which is enabled"Because most of the times it works only with US English.I tried other english versions but it didn't worked for me.
