How To Unlock HTC droid DNA bootloader

0 comments
W
hen the Droid DNA was first announced, we were all surprised to find that the bootloader was unlockable at HTCdev.com. Because of this, the device actually got root, recovery, and custom kernel days before the official release. Unfortunately, by the time the device became available in retail channels, Verizon pulled the plug and it was no longer unlocked through official means.

Thankfully, there's another way (isn't there always?). The softmod below will effectively change the carrier information, allowing it to once again be unlocked via HTC's official tool.

Before we get started, special thanks to Sean Beaupre, who stepped in at the last minute and made this release possible. I was unable to release one of the original exploits due to a conflict of interest, and Sean provided a working replacement that we could release.


Requirement:
  • Modern ADB that supports backup/restore (ICS and up)
  • 1GB free space on your phone

Downloads:

Awesome saver of the day: Sean Beaupre
Crash test dummy: dsb9938 (I bricked his phone making this!)
Artem and all @AndroidPolice for putting up with my nonsense.
Special thanks to Fuses for recommending a better target, and the numerous testers that let me play with their new phones.

eRail on Android - Indian Railways

0 comments

A
pplication provides easy access to Indian Railways train information. Indian Railways Mobile Application


  • UPDATED: October 26, 2012
  • CURRENT VERSION: 1.0.3
  • REQUIRES ANDROID: 2.1 and up
  • CATEGORY: Travel & Local


     

     

Needs some refinement


Running status is of no use, as it doesn't capture the status of trains started yesterday and day before yesterday.... Add features like....Recent history, provision to change the From /To stations after the search..like the desktop version.. if possible, Provision to zoom and checking the availability by tapping directly on the class (like in desktop version, let the current options be there as it is )...date of journey can be given at an earlier stage where we enter the station codes, irrespective of the date of journey all the list should be shown...... if these are updated then the mobile version exactly looks like the desktop version....further improvements can be think over time (...updated in version 1.0.3....use the same color notation for train names to distinguish b/w M/E, Superfast etc etc. Interchange the positions of Arr Time and departure time, it is a bit confusing to have arrival time on top next to the departure station code.)

T
he #1 mobile game of all time blasts off into space! ALL NEW ANGRY BIRDS GAME FROM ROVIO -- the #1 mobile game of all time blasts off into space! Angry Birds Space Premium is totally ad-free!

              Angry Birds is the most famous game of it’s own. Rovio has come up with lots of features in this game that would be seen in the game itself. AFP has also called it the “most successful mobile game in history.”. The recent versions of this game has itself boasted over 700 million downloads. The Market simply increased when the game was announced for different platforms such as the Mac OS, PC’s, Facebook and then Google Chrome.


              After a giant claw kidnaps their eggs, the Angry Birds chase it into a wormhole and find themselves floating in a strange new galaxy – surrounded by space pigs! Luckily the Angry Birds have super powers of their own...

              Angry Birds Space features 140 interstellar levels on planets and in zero gravity, resulting in spectacular gameplay ranging from slow-motion puzzles to lightspeed destruction. With regular free updates, brand new birds, brand new superpowers, and a whole galaxy to explore, the sky is no longer the limit!

FEATURES


  • 140 interstellar levels!
  • Regular free updates!
  • Brand new birds!
  • Brand new superpowers!
  • Zero-gravity space adventures!
  • Trick shots using planets’ gravity!
  • Hidden bonus levels!
  • Beautifully detailed backgrounds!
Join the global phenomenon as it goes galactic!

              The Game is similar to other releases of Angry Birds but there are some different additions in this version, that is the new super powers and the new gravitational pull of the planets. The Game contains super HQ detailed backgrounds, 60+ levels, brand new birds, and hidden bonus levels.

Now on to the story of how the Angry Birds found themselves locked in a intergalactic battle…

              On a remote island lives a group of Angry Birds who share a common purpose: to stop green pigs from stealing and devouring their eggs. One faithful afternoon after the pigs absconded to their fortress with stolen eggs, the birds attacked, saving the eggs and demolishing the stronghold. Then, a huge vortex opened up in the sky. Out of the hole flew a strange bird shaped like an ice cube. With him was a glowing egg. Clearly they were not from this world!

              As the birds and pigs stared skyward, a huge metallic arm emerged from the vortex, snatched the glowing egg, and retreated into the darkness. Evil laughter echoed over the island. The alien bird chased them back into the wormhole, which began to close. As the vortex shrank, the Angry Birds noticed that their eggs were too gone! Without a moment’s hesitation they flung themselves into the wormhole just before it shut. At the end of the swirling space tunnel, the Angry Bids found themselves dressed like superheroes on a strange new planet. They saw strange piggies escaping farther into space with their eggs.

              From Mercury to the Milky Way, space holds an infinite number of hiding places for the piggies. How will the Angry Birds ever save their precious eggs? By learning all they can about space in order to track down the alien pigs and rescue their eggs. Follow the Angry Birds on their latest adventure as they make new friends and gather “Space Data” and amazing “Astrofacts” about planets, stars, space exploration, galaxies, and the worlds beyond, in a daring rescue mission that will take them across the galaxy. Only then will they be able to take on the pigs, retrieve their eggs, and head back home.

Rooting An Android Device

0 comments
R
ooting? Are you gonna plant trees? :) Let's face it, most of us don't know what is rooting, and what do we get from it. It can be easier to understand for someone who is a Linux user, but for others, it could be a big mystery. So here is my attempt to explain what I know.
When you buy a shiny new Android phone, you have many limitations imposed by the manufacturer. For example, you can install apps, uninstall them, make calls, send messages etc. But if you don't like a preinstalled application, can you remove it? The short answer is, "No". Can you change the system files? "No". And many things you cannot do with your phone. This is where rooting comes into action.

              Did you ever used Windows? If yes, then you must have heard of the "Administrator" account. Having an Administrator account means you have more control over the system. Similarly, in Linux, the Administrator account is called "root", and so in Android. After all, Android is Linux, isn't it? Rooting can also be explained as a process which enables 'su'(Superuser) access to the underlying operating system.

              When you root your phone, you gain the ultimate control over the phone. You can do anything you want. You can modify the system files, you can enhance the features and you can brick your phone too! Compare it to "Jailbreaking" on an iPhone.

Why I'm restricted?

              It is your phone, so why are you restricted so much? This is because of your safety. If you don't know what you are doing, you could make your phone unusable, and no one would be responsible for it.

Should I root my phone?

              Rooting is not that much hard, thanks to many hard working developers. Mostly, rooting doesn't involve breaking your bootloader and in most cases, can be easily undone. Keep in mind that rooting doesn't give ultimate power to all apps installed, you must confirm if you want to allow an app. This is done via an app called "Superuser".



              But should you really root your phone? If you are happy with your phone, no need to take the risk. Remember, rooting can void your warranty. If something goes wrong, you are on your own and no one will be responsible.

Also, rooting means, the apps you download can have access to the internal file system of the phone which can be dangerous if it is a malicious app.

How rooting works?

              Rooting includes exploiting a known vulnerability in the Operating System to gain root access, then it pushes the "su" binary and the "Superuser" app to the system, which then help in retaining the root.

Why to root?

Rooting can give you lots of advantages, the list being endless. Here are few of the examples you might be interested in,

  • Access and modify the internal file system
  • Optimize system for faster operation
  • Free up space by removing preinstalled apps
  • Use the phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot, in case your operator blocked it
  • Install new Kernel for a better experience
  • Try out new ROMs and updates even if your manufacturer has ceased it
  • Modify the visual appearance and theme of your phone
  • Install a Recovery for easy backup and restore of the entire ROM
  • Run many applications supported only on rooted 
And much more...

Before rooting...

Before rooting your phone, you should keep few things in mind...

              Search for your specific phone model: Though it is Android, the different versions and manufacturer customization make the process of rooting different for different phones. If you follow incorrect procedures, the damage might be irreparable.
Follow trusted sources: Before attempting anything on your precious phone, see if it is already tested by other users. Read the comments and you can make sure if you want do do it or not. It is always advisable to search in well known sites such as ocen-developers.

              Learn how to revert the changes: First learn how to un-root. Rooting is reversible in most phones. So it is a good idea to know how to un-root in case you need to, for example take your phone to service center.

Have the battery fully charged: The rooting operation is very sensitive and you must have a fully charged phone before attempting to hack your phone. Otherwise something might go wrong if your phone turns off in the middle of the process.
Don't be Greedy: Often you may read methods to increase performance to max, which mostly include overclocking etc. Remember, it can damage the phone hardware and only you will be responsible for it.

Some Apps for rooted phones

Superuser: It should be automatically installed when you rooted your phone. It manages the root permissions of different apps, grants or denies root permission etc.
Root Explorer: It lets you access and modify the internal file system of the OS.
Titanium Backup: It can backup your applications and their data.
App Manager: Another backup utility, have more features than free version of Titanium Backup.
SetCPU: It can be used to overclock your phone. Works only with supported kernels.
ROM Manager: It can manage installation of custom ROMs. Be warned though! It might be unsupported on some phones and brick them.
Barnacle Wifi Tether: If you are on a older Android version which don't have native tether capabilities, this will certainly come handy in sharing your phone's internet connection.
And Much More.....

Apps Discover- Android apps discover by AndroidZoom

0 comments

A
ndroidzoom: Apps Discoverer is a new brand application based on the website with the same name, this is, the same your are browsing right now. AndroidZoom provides thousands of app reviews so as to make the user’s choice easier regarding which app is worth downloading and which one is not. Think of our reviewers as that close friend who you are always asking "should I install this or that?"


AZ’s application is a complete tool that captures the best features we already enjoy in the original website, but adapted to what an app should be. Therefore, navigation is fast, buttons are big and there are even a few surprises here and there. The idea remains the same: AndroidZoom is the place to ponder which app deserves to be downloaded onto your Android and this app makes it even easier.

In addition, as you could expect, AndroidZoom also lets you manage your own installed applications, therefore, you can see what apps you have in your device and uninstall the ones you don’t use anymore in a quicker way. And by signing in with your Google account, you will have access to the advanced features available like receiving personalized recommendations based on much more than simple "users who have downloaded this...". It's as if GPlay preinstalled app had a new layer over it called AndroidZoom.

Although the app provides a wide range of tools to help you explore Google Play to find that special app you craving for or even better, to discover something undreamt-of, we must admit that the app’s search engine is not as exhaustive as the one on the website. Some filters such as type, stars and publication date are missing, but don’t worry, AZ’s developers have taken careful note of that for next versions.

Putting this little catch aside, what are you waiting for? Download Androidzoom: Apps Discoverer and start browsing through the thousands of reviews available and the ton of applications sorted by well-developed filters. To cap it all, it comes with an awesome 4x2 widget and weighs less than a Mb. Download it AZapp.

Recently changed in this version:


  • Create local lists to save your usual searches, favorite developers or even whole categories.
  • Faster and better homescreen performance.
  • User interface improvements.
  • Minor bugs fixed.
