We now have the opportunity to use one of Jelly Bean’s best features “Google Now” which was introduced with the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

Xda developer febycv has released a hacked version of the Google Now APK. Though, there are a few limitations to use the version:

• You need a rooted device running any ICS AOSP-based ROMs such as CyanogenMod and AOKP.
• The app does not support the Voice Search function as of now
• Only language support so far is U.S.-English
