Install Clock Work Mod on Samsung Galaxy Star Pro S-7262

Clock Work Mod or CWM is one of the most popular custom recovery out there for Android Phones. Other than CWM we have TWRP which is Team Win Recovery project but as for now we are limiting to CWM. Toady I will show you how you can install CWM on Samsung Galaxy Star Pro S-7262.

The main purpose of installing a custom recovery is that it gives you a lot more features than the stock recovery installed on your phone by the manufacturer. The best reason is, a custom recovery like CWM allows you to flash new ROMs and files, allows you to take complete backups and lot more!



So if you want to Root your phone or if you want to Install a custom ROM for your phone, then first of all you will need to install a custom recovery.

So let us start installing CWM recovery on Samsung Galaxy Star Pro S-7262.

Here is a list of files you need beforehand to start installing CWM on your phone:

1. Samsung USB Drivers
2. ODIN
3. The Recovery

Se lets go! Before we can start I have to tell you some formalities which start below:

Disclaimer!

By reading this article and applying methods and techniques told here on this page, you are accepting FULL responsibility for any risk and/or damage that may occur to your device either by negligence and/or misuse of the software AND acknowledge that you cannot hold the software author and/or the writer or this post liable in any way whatsoever.

If you are reading this post and continue reading then you are accepting the above stated disclaimer!

Please Note:

If you have updated your phone to the new version, then you will not be able to install CWM successfully because of the update. So please confirm that your phone's kernel and baseband version ARE DIFFERENT from mine!

Now that you have agreed with the disclaimer, let us go back to work and install CWM on your phone.

Firstly, Enable USB debugging on your phone.

To enable USB debugging, follow the steps below:
1. Go to Settings
2. Scroll down to the bottom, there you will see "Developer options"
3. Slide the top slider to enable "Developer Options" from the top. Tap on OK
4. Tick 'USB Debugging' and then tap on OK

Now your phone is in unprotected mode and ready to be fucked!

Next step is to enter Download Mode of your phone.

Remove Data cable from your phone if it is connected.
Turn of your phone completely ,i.e., wait for vibration after you switch off your phone.
Now perform this combination, carefully. If you miss any of these operation then you have to do it again.
When your phone is completely switched off, Hold the Volume Down key ,i.e., Volume -ve key. Now do not leave it, keep holding it until you are said to release it.
When you are holding the volume down key, now hold Home key ,i.e., The center button on your phone below screen. Now Hold the power key
Now when the phone will start, you will see a read exclamation mark on the top left corner.
As soon as you see the Samsung logo, you can release the keys!
Now the phone will ask for confirmation, to confirm what you are gonna do, press the volume up key once. Now you are successfully in the download mode!

Now connect Data cable to your phone and connect it to PC. Now run ODIN which you downloaded some minutes before.
Odin will now detect your phone and it will only do so when your phone's USB debugging is enabled and it is in Download mode.

When ODIN successfully detects your phone, Click on PDA button and browse for the recovery.tar.md5 file. Please note, do not browse for the archive you downloaded, browse for the file which you got after extracting the archive. When you select the file, ODIN will check it and you will get a message like this:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> recovery.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Successfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..

Now click on start button and let ODIN do its work!
It will now flash CWM to your phone and your phone will restart automatically. DO NOT do anything on your phone until ODIN completes its work. When your phone successfully boots up, and the recovery is installed, you will get a success message on ODIN.

So the task is complete and we have finally flashed CWM to your phone. If you are getting any error in between, please do comment! And yeah, I am not responsible for any damage to your phone that occurs in any step. Bu for the sake of assurance, I have myself tested this method and yes, it worked as a charm for me :)

How to enter into Clock Work Recovery Mode

Now that you have installed Clock Work Mod Recovery, you must be willing to go to it ASAP to check if the effort was successful!

How to Enter into Recovery

To Go to CWM, first switch off your phone completely. Now perform this combination of keys, Volume Up + Home Button + Power Key. Remember, this time its Volume Up but previously we used Volume Down to go to Download Mode. You should be rolling in the recovery now!

Thanks for reading and if you face any problem which is fixable then do comment below!

Hiding files is a known-by-all trick for Windows users. But now we all are familiar with the growing popularity of android phones so we all must know how to hide files and folders on android device.
If you try simply hiding the file in Windows and then copy it onto an android device then the file will still show up on android device because it is a different OS and hence it follows different rules.
My Hood, My Rulz Motherfuckr said Android!

Even if you hide the folder with system properties then it too will show up as usual folder.
So what is the solution for this problem?

How to Hide files on Android Phone

Basically all you need to do is follow this rule.
"Android respects folders and files whose names start with a (.) Dot."

For eg, a usual folder will be like this "Any Stupid Folder" and a hidden folder will be ".Any Stupid Folder"
And the same rule applies to files too. You can disguise your files as system ones just by adding a dot in starting of their names!

So all you need to do is rename the file or folder with a dot starting in the front of its name.

That's it for hiding files and folders but the thing which is yet to be known is how you will access them if they go hidden?

You can enable viewing hidden folders and files in different applications as follows.

Stock Files Manager of Samsung Android Phones

If you have a Samsung Android Phone then you can use the following steps to show and hide hidden files.

Firstly open My Files and then press the options key on your phone. Now tap on Settings.Now tick/untick "Show Hidden Files" as per your needs.

ES File Explorer

If you use ES file explorer then you can follow these steps to show hidden files:

Open ES File Explorer and then press options key on your phone. Now scroll down to the bottom where you will find a button for enabling show hidden files.

If you have other file manager then go to its settings and you will definitely find option for showing hidden files. Now go give it a try!

HTC Butterfly v/s Nokia Lumia 920 - Which One to Pick?

There comes a time when a high end device ends up as a mid-range device because the company creates another great device which is the new flagship of the company. This is the normal life-cycle of every phone possibly and it will keep on going this way till the time the technology is steadily improving and progressing. Both the phones in comparison today, HTC Butterfly and Nokia Lumia 920 used to be the flagships of their respective manufacturers until they were substituted with the HTC One and Nokia Lumia 925 respectively.

Screen & Body 

The HTC butterfly is a candy-bar form phone with a 5” Full HD display at 1920x1080 pixels resolution at 441 ppi. Compare that to the Nokia Lumia 920, it sports a 4.5” qHD display of 1280x768 pixels at 332 ppi. The screen of the Butterfly ismuch better and sharper than the Lumia 920, but the 920 has an IPS LCD display which makes its display pretty sharp enough to make it capable to compete with Full HD resolutions. Both the screens are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 2. By weight comparison the Lumia 920 is heavier at 185g owing to its great camera and polycarbonate casing. The Butterfly is just 140g.

Hardware 

The Lumia 920 runs on a Dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait and Adreno 225 GPU whereas the Butterfly runs on Quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait and Adreno 320 GPU. HTC Butterfly also has double the RAM at 2GB. So all in all, the Butterfly has better specs and is pretty fast, but the 920’s CPU is enough for the phone’s regular functioning owing to a different OS which we will be covering later. The 920 comes with 32GB internal storage which is non-expandable whereas the Butterfly has 16GB internal and is expandable upto 32GB. The 920’s 2000 mAh battery lasts enough for 1.5 days with medium usage whereas the Butterfly’s 2020 mAh battery lasts about 1 day with medium usage due to the stronger processor and screen.

OS

 Both these phones run different OSs. The Lumia 920 runs on the new Windows Phone 8 OS which is sleek, snazzy and works like butter. Its Live Tiles are pretty awesome and make the phone very lively. The OS is very light and so the smaller processor of the Lumia is enough to smoothly operate the phone. On the other hand, Butterfly runs on HTC Sense 4.0+ over Android JellyBean 4.1.2. This is a pretty heavy OS and thus the Butterfly’s strong processor does a great job handling it smoothly. The Lumia 920 comes with a high Nokia mobile price in India, and brings the goods to back it up as well.

Camera & Entertainment 

The 8MP camera on the HTC Butterfly does a pretty good job and is capable of capturing 1080p videos at 30fps. Its 2.1MP front camera is also capable of 1080p videos at 30fps but the Lumia 920’s 2MP front shooter does a decent job of 720p videos at 30fps. What impresses us the most is Nokia’s 8.7MP PureView HD+ camera that gives some really awesome images. It shoots the best low light images than any camera in the world. Also the 920 comes with some awesome features like Optical Image Stabilization, Autofocus, etc.

Apps & Functionality

 If you look at the current situation, Android App Market, Google Play has over 800,000 apps whereas the Windows App Store has just crossed 150,000 figure lately. So it is a matter of time till the Windows OS develops and comes close to the Android or iOS app store for that matter. Though all the basic apps required are there available at the Windows App Store so won’t be actually missing much.

Conclusion

We compared the HTC Butterfly and the Nokia Lumia 920, the ex-flagships of their respective companies and we have decided to have a winner here. So considering all the criteria that we have judged these two phones on, we sure do have a clear winner and that is the HTC Butterfly with its amazing screen, fast processor, greater RAM, and bigger battery. The only place where Nokia manages to beat the HTC is the camera, but overall, it is the Butterfly all the way.

Top 5 Ways to Speed up Your Android Phone

Image Credits

Android is the largest used mobile operating system across the globe after Apple’s iOS. It is a touch based OS with a smooth and easy UI. It has a huge app base with more than a million apps available for the users. Of course as the amount of apps build up, the memory used increases hence increasing the overall response time of the OS making it feel like it has become slow, which actually it has not.

Android sure is a very fast operating system but due to all the lags you do not want your experience to be ruined. Hence we are going to see the top 5 ways to speed up your Android phone and reduce all the lags so as to keep your android experience rich, fast and smooth as always.

Stop animations: 

Animations actually feel very aesthetic and they are there for the same purpose. But actually when you close the app or start an app or switch between apps, these transition effects or animations take up that extra second to function and then take you to your app. In the beginning this might seem very pleasing, but later it can get a bit frustrating. So for that you just need to go to settings, developer options and in there disable all the animations and transition effects. By default it is set to 1x, but you just set it to none and you are good to go.

Uninstall unused apps:

Installing excess apps on the phone consumes memory since they all need to be loaded and hence keep running in the background. So this slows down the phone as extra cycles are wasted in these apps which you never use. So better to uninstall them and free some space in your phone to make it run faster.

Close all the background apps: 

After you are done with your work with any app, it still keeps running in the background. This takes some extra effort from the hardware and OS to support them and also handle the current tasks being performed. So always go to the recent apps location and manually close the apps. Takes some extra seconds but saves on a lot of operating time on the phone. Mobiles on the higher side can handle multiple apps simultaneously, yet the free memory can be put to better use.

Do not use task manager/killers: 

Despite popular belief, try not to use app killers. What this does is it deletes all the data in your cache. So if you need that app once again, then the data from the app needs to be loaded up again and again thus requiring more time for the app to start and respond. So all it manages to do to increase your time and not decrease it.

Reboot your phone: 

Your phone is just like your computer. If your computer slows down, you restart your computer so that the RAM gets a clean sweep and it starts afresh again. The same is with your Android phone. So just reboot your device once a week maybe to clear out the RAM and restart all the processes so that the phone can work much faster and efficiently to its potential.

These are the top five simple ways to speed up your android phone. If your phone still does not feel fast enough for you after these, then you might want to consider shifting to a different kernel for your phone or reset your device to its factory settings. But all that is a last resort. The above mentioned ways do work, so stick to them and enjoy a faster and better android experience.

Best Android Tablets Under Rs 10,000 - June 2013

The rise of tablets is very high worldwide, more and more people are getting this device regardless of their use and budget. Earlier the time was of PC, but now the PC sales are declining very sharply and tablets are rising up rapidly simultaneously. It makes a very big sense to get yourself a tablet, as these are budget-friendly, extremely usable and can do the task of a Laptop and Mobile as an intermediate between the power of both.

But a little problem that buyers face while getting a tablet for themselves and that is, Which tablet should I buy?

So I am here to help you out for buying a tablet made just for you and your needs. In this post, I will tell you about 4 best tablets to check this summer which are extremely affordable without affecting the quality of the stuff inside!

So here are the five beasts who will defend each other to get the first position. Arranged in increasing price.

• Micromax Funbook Talk P362
• Lava XTron+
• Asus MeMo Pad 
• Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

So let the competition between these tablets begin, and here we start with Micromax Funbook Talk.

Micromax Funbook Talk P362

Micromax is known for its fame and name in India. Sometimes their products disappoint high as fcuk but on the contrary if you pick up their high end stuffs like Canvas HD, you will forget that it is made by a so called cheapo company. Talking about their tablets segment, I have personally used their tablets and they amaze me as well as disappoint me. Talking straightly, here are the things that will make you  happy for your purchase:

• The touch screen is very responsive and feels smooth as butter, along with that good touch input, the interface also is completely lag-free, thanks to Android 4.1. So no need to compromise on its touch screen quality.
• Hardware-wise talking, the specs for which you pay are above par and never make you feel disappointed. Most Funbook tablets are powered by Dual Core Mali-400 GPU, which is the reason games will almost run lag-free. The processor is also dual core by Cortex
• This is the best budget-friendly tablet that supports calling too. But hey, 3G is missing, so you can use this tablet on 2G network only for calling purpose. For Internet connectivity, there is WiFi and USB-OTG support for connecting USB Modems.

Now after knowing its advantages, let me disappoint you a little! The battery backup is below par and drains very quickly after a normal usage of 2-3 hours! But I won't consider this a bad-mark as you know how much you paid for it and you can't expect a little more from that price. By the way, the price of this tablet is Rs 6990 as per on 2-June-2013.

Just like Micromax, most of us are brand-conscious before buying anything and specially gadgets. Now I am gonna say something to you: You can skip reading the whole post and BUY this tablet right now before it goes out of stock. This tablet is the best in terms of hardware performance, beating Nexus 7 in 3 out of 5 benchmarks. But for the sake of my hard-work and giving you more choice for buying a tablet, I will complete this post and I request you to read it as well.

Here are the reasons to look out for this tablet:

• 1.5 GHz Dual Core Cortex-A9 processor, 1 GB DDR3 RAM and Quad Core Mail-400 GPU
• The above line is sufficient to amaze the shit out of your mind, but this muscular boy has got looks too. You get the latest Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and 7-Inch IPS Multi-Touch screen with a resolution of 1024x600.
• Dual camera being 2 MP the back and 0.3 MP front.
• 3700 mAh battery for extra backup and to support the high-end specs

So, you might have made your decision of which tablet to buy, so do not wait for anyone else to review it for you, just go ahead and bring it up! And never mind, it can go out of stock very soon just like its predecessor did.

Asus is a well known brand to all of us and popular for its build quality and performance. So here is the Asus's answer for your low-budget tablet. Being priced at Rs 9799, this tablet is gonna meet your performance needs with ease and smoothness. Have a look at its key specs:

• 1 GHz VIA Processor, 1 GB DDR3L RAM and Mali 400 Graphics
• Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and a 7-Inch LCD Touch Screen with support of up-to 10 fingers at a time.
• 4270 mAh Lithium Battery for 7 Hours non-stop use and a 1 MP HD Front Camera for sharp stills.

You might get a little disappointed seeing its low specs for higher pricing. All I would say is that the reason I have added this tablet in the list is its build quality and longer usage cycle because it is a product of Asus.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P3110

You might say, what is Samsung doing here in the list of budget friendly tablets? Well, if you do not know, recently Samsung recently launched new version of Galaxy Tab 2 but without calling facility for a price of Rs 9990. I need not define anything about how cool and awesome is Galaxy Tab, but still its a rule so here are the quick-specs of this tablet.

1. 1 GHz Dual Core processor, 1 GB RAM and a PowerVR SGX540 GPU which is a bit older.
2. 3.15 MP HD Primary camera supporting 720p HD video recording @30 FPS and a 4000 mAh battery for longer backup.
3. Never mind, it has the most inbuilt storage of 16 GB on board out of which about 13 GB is available to user which is good enough to store a good collection of data 

You can rely on this tablet if you want to use for it general purpose like Surfing internet and paying moderate games. The on-paper battery back shows about 93 hours of non-stop music playback, which makes it a good portable entertainment device. Also the inclusion of TouchWiz UI adds up to the usability of the tab's interface. My verdict is that you should consider this tablet, if you are willing for a long-term investment.

Google Introduces Android Studio: App Development Made Easier

As we all know, Android is today's most powerful and popular OS of portable devices. Thousands of Apps are available on Play Store and more are in development. Also, It has also emerged as quite a powerful OS for Application Development. As Android Apps are based on Java, most developers feel at home. But every developer need an IDE [Integrated Development Environment] to work upon, and this is where the  backlog comes.
      The only IDE for Android App Development was Eclipse, with the ADT [Android Development Tools] plugin provides in the "Android SDK" [Software Development Kit]. But, it was laggy as hell, gave too many unpredictable errors and was quite difficult to handle for budding developers.

Eclipse with the ADT plugin

So, to solve this big problem, Google introduced Android Studio [Preview for Now] at its annual "Google IO" Conference 2013.

Android Studio

From the above posted pics, we can very well see the difference. Android Studio is much more comprehensive and full blown IDE for App development. The main difference b/w ADT and Studio is that Android Studio is based on the well-known "IntelliJ IDEA", which is an ideal and stable IDE for Java. While, ADT is just some plugin for Eclipse, which, though good enough, is an unstable open-source Java IDE.

For now, Android Studio is just a "Preview Access" and has some bugs, but in the distant future, it WILL be the main IDE for Android App Development.

You may experience some problems while setting-up Android Studio. But don't worry, just refer to this excellent  post on XDA-Developers forum by user "lolrenx" [Link].

Connect it to your HDMI based Television or Monitor

Also as a standard, it has 8 GB of inbuilt storage and you can expand it up to 32 GB using a Micro SD card.
One more thing to mention is that presence of dual cameras- The VGA front and the 2 MB back. Come one, what more left to expect now!

And yep, a 3,700 mAh battery is plotted inside to support the hardware for a longer time.

Software

Lets talk a little about its s/w side. Tablets in a budget are powered by Android mostly. This tablet sports the latest version of Android, i.e., 4.2 Jelly Bean which makes it a killer deal for Rs 6499.

Jail-broken iOS Vs Rooted Android Phone

Image Source

Sometimes I feel if the cold war has started again, though this time it seems to be between Android and iPhone. Each operating system has its own bunch of fans and fanatics, and different kinds of users. There are users who do not know much about operating system but are still satisfied with its comprehensive apps and easy to tweak facility, while on other hand we have techies, who wish to know about all features of their handsets. When it comes to the hard core geeks, they feel exploring features at the core, both including hardware and software. Android users basically install custom ROMs and kernel on their devices, whereas iPhone users have different option as they can install jailbreak and cydia to download various apps.

So, let’s decide which is better- Jailbreaking or Custom ROM. However, before you use any of the devices, you can’t decide whether it is good or bad. You have to exactly give your opinion on the basis of devices you have used and your experiences while using them. As of me, I have used Samsung Galaxy S3 and regarding iphone, I have researched on the internet in detail. My Samsung S3 runs on the resurrection remix (Android 4.03) and the custom kernel called siyah kernel.

Jailbreaking vs. Custom ROMs

Although when you start comparing between jailbreaking and custom ROM, you will find very few distinctions between the two. You can check out the difference as you further read this article.

Rooting:

Rooting is only feasible with android devices, as it does not require any special ROM for doing so. Once you root your android devices, you are independent to install and update any application you want to. By rooting your device you can exactly install plenty of apps on your handset, freeze system software, and manage phone calls or even make it more better :-)

Jailbreaking:

Jailbreaking is more or less a same rooting technology but it is only used for the Apple operating system. However when it comes to jailbreaking or iOS you can’t be democratic as Android. Moreover you have to seek for some special permission, and install a couple of extra software and plugins by using Cydia for jailbreaking.

Options to explore

Rooting or jail breaking of a device gives a huge spectrum to use your phone the way you like to. You can install new apps and customize things by using cydia. But as you know that everything good encapsulates evil as well, so by using cydia you can download tons of apps but somehow it slows down the speed of your handset considerably. Beside this, it is not an official segment by iphone so it is of obvious that it will create a little mess around. Same comes with android as when you start searching around apps on the Google play; sometimes it is very difficult to find anything worth at.

What’s next?

Once you have rooted your handset, you have to install apps, and here let me tell you that you have to apply your common sense. Both android and iOS are fetched with root- level apps though iOS do not permit you a sudden installation of widgets, so you have to look for tweaking at first. Beware! Apple is annoyed with the jailbreaking process. Therefore, sometimes it blocks down all the jailbreaking customization. However, this does not happen with android.

Conclusion

It is very difficult to declare a result that who is winner. Android is good, but installation on Cydia is truly impressive. So, make sure choose what suites you the best and keep enjoying.

So what is more awesome according to you? Please comment and let us know about your views.
