Facebook Home for Supported and Unsupported Phones

2013-05-08T16:31:00.000-07:00

Not able to run Facebook Home on your device from the Play Store because of where you live or because your device isn't supported? Help is at hand!

If you are on an officially supported device (in an unsupported country)...

Before installing Home you need to ensure that both latest Facebook main app (katana) and Messenger app (orca) are installed... once they are, use this link - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - to install Facebook Home then activate Facebook Home in the Facebook application's 'Settings' menu.

On an unsupported device? No option to activate Facebook Home?

Don't worry, I have you covered! I've patched the Facebook application to remove the device check. You need to uninstall your existing Facebook, Messenger and Home applications (necessary because the patched versions are re-signed), then install the patched Facebook main app (katana) - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid), the patched Messenger app (orca) - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) and the patched Home app - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid). Sign in and in the Facebook application's 'Settings' menu the Facebook Home option should appear for you!

Apple iPhone 4S Firmware iOS Update 6.1

2013-01-31T23:37:00.003-08:00

Maps takes a whole new turn

Beautifully designed from the ground up (and the sky down), Maps changes the way you see the world. Map elements are vector based, so graphics and text are incredibly detailed — even when you zoom all the way in — and panning is smooth. Tilt and rotate to view an area, and Maps keeps the names of streets and places where they belong. Get visual and spoken turn-by-turn navigation and real-time traffic updates. Even soar over cityscapes to see the sights from the air in amazing, high-resolution quality.

Siri. Sports. Restaurants. Movies. Now ask even more of Siri

With iOS 6, Siri understands more languages and works in more countries.2 So you can get more things done in more places around the world. Want to know the latest scores and stats for your favorite teams and players? Thanks to iOS 6, Siri knows the answers. Or maybe it’s movie night. Siri can show you the latest reviews and showtimes and help you purchase tickets. Find the best restaurants in town and make reservations. Even have Siri open your apps for you — no tapping required. Say “Launch Flight Tracker” or “Open Angry Birds” and Siri does just that. You can also use Siri to post Facebook updates and tweet for you.

Facebook. Integrated throughout iOS. You'll definitely like it.

Now it’s easier than ever to interact with the world’s largest social network. And there’s no need to leave your app to do it. Share a photo to Facebook right from Camera or Photos. Post your location right from Maps. Brag about a high score right from Game Center. If you have your hands full, just ask Siri to post for you. You need to sign in to Facebook only once, and you’ll be off and sharing. Never miss another birthday or get-together, since Facebook events are integrated into Calendar. And your Facebook friends’ profile information is integrated into Contacts, so when they update an email address or phone number you automatically stay up to date. Now that’s something to post about.

Share select photos with a select audience.

Now you can share just the photos you want, with just the people you choose. Simply select photos from the Photos app, tap the Share button, choose who you want to share your photos with, and they’re on their way. Friends using iCloud on an iOS 6 device or a Mac running Mountain Lion get the photos delivered immediately in the Photos app or iPhoto. You can even view Shared Photo Streams on Apple TV. If the folks you're sharing with aren’t using an Apple device, they can view your photos on the web. People can like individual photos and make comments. And you can share as much as you want: Your Shared Photo Streams don’t count against your iCloud storage, and they work over Wi-Fi and cellular networks.

Passbook. Just the ticket. And the boarding pass, card and coupon.

Passbook keeps your boarding passes, loyalty cards, retail coupons, movie tickets, and more all in one place — on your iPhone or iPod touch. No worrying about misplaced printouts. Or rifling through your wallet at checkout. Just open Passbook and tap the pass you need. The barcode on the pass is scanned, and just like that, you’ve checked in for a flight, earned loyalty points, or redeemed a coupon. You can add passes to Passbook through apps, Mail messages, and websites from participating airlines, stores, theaters, and more. You can also see when your coupons expire, where your concert seats are, and the balance left on that all-important coffee bar card. Wake your iPhone or iPod touch, and passes appear on your Lock screen at the appropriate time and place — like when you reach the airport or walk into the store to redeem your gift card or coupon. And if your gate changes after you’ve checked in for your flight, Passbook will even alert you to make sure you’re not relaxing in the wrong terminal.

FaceTime. Look who's talking. Over cellular.

FaceTime now works over cellular networks as well as Wi-Fi, so you can make and receive FaceTime calls wherever you happen to be.3 You can even make and receive FaceTime calls on your iPad using your phone number. That means you can use FaceTime wherever you are, on any device. And never miss another wink, smile, air kiss, or eye roll.

Phone. Send to voicemail. Reply with message. Remind me later. It's your call.

iOS 6 adds new calling features to your iPhone. Now when you decline an incoming call, you can instantly reply with a text message or set a callback reminder. And when things are just too hectic, turn on Do Not Disturb and you won’t be bothered by anyone — except can’t-miss contacts like your boss or your better half.

Mail. An even better email experience. Delivered.

Redesigned with a more streamlined interface for easier reading and writing, Mail in iOS 6 lets you set up a VIP list so you’ll never miss an important message from your accountant, your boss, or your BFF. It’s even easier to add photos and videos to email messages. And to refresh your mailboxes, all you have to do is swipe down.

Safari. Browsing is just the beginning.

iOS 6 brings even better web browsing to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud Tabs keeps track of which pages you have open on your devices, so you can start browsing on one device and pick up right where you left off, on whatever device is handy. Safari now saves web pages — not just links — in your Reading List, so you can catch up on your reading even when you can’t connect to the Internet.4 And when you’re posting a photo or video to eBay, Craigslist, or another site, you can take photos and video — or choose from your Camera Roll — without leaving Safari. When you really want to see the whole picture, turn your iPhone or iPod touch to landscape and tap the full-screen icon to view web pages without distractions.

Accessibility. iOS 6 comes with Guided Access.

iOS 6 comes with even more features to make it easier for people with vision, hearing, learning, and mobility disabilities to get the most from their iOS devices. Guided Access helps students with disabilities such as autism remain on task and focused on content. It allows a parent, teacher, or administrator to limit an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home button, as well as restrict touch input on certain areas of the screen. VoiceOver, the revolutionary screen reader for blind and low-vision users, is now integrated with Maps, AssistiveTouch, and Zoom. And Apple is working with top manufacturers to introduce Made for iPhone hearing aids that will deliver a power-efficient, high-quality digital audio experience.

Camera with Panorama. Broaden your horizons.

The new panorama feature for iPhone and iPod touch lets you capture everything from a momentous family reunion photo to a sweeping vista.6 With one simple motion you can shoot up to 240 degrees — even vertically, to get that redwood tree, say. Then hardware and software work together to create one seamless, high-resolution panorama.

What's New:
LTE support for more carriers (complete list of supported carriers at www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/)
Purchase movie tickets through Fandango with Siri (USA only)
iTunes Match subscribers can now download individual songs from iCloud
New button to reset the Advertising Identifier

Note: Before proceeding with your driver installation we suggest you make sure you are installing the latest version available and for the appropriate model/revision and Operating System. We strongly suggest following 'readme' instructions for installing drivers when available. Often restarting your system will be necessary for the new driver to become active and start functioning properly.

CyanogenMod 10.1 official nightlies [JellyBean]

2012-12-30T12:17:00.000-08:00

Code:

#include 
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 *
 * Submitting bug reports on nightly builds is the leading 
 * cause of male impotence.
 */

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts.

Rooting i9100g - kernel + doomlord method

2012-04-15T16:53:00.000-07:00

so your earlier methods didnt work - just doomlord does not work - time to go Kernel !

Flashing rooted kernel
Advantages :
 Fast method, CWM support directly assuming the rooted kernel supports it.
 Applicable to almost all stock firmware even up to the latest so far.

Disadvantages :
 A bit dangerous, soft bricked may or may not occurred.
 Without USB jig, warranty will be voided as binary counter is increased and yellow triangle occurred. Without USB jig, only yellow triangle can be removed. Binary counter can only be reset with USB jig and only from old bootloader (KJ2 and lower)

How To :
 Download the rooted kernel
 Superatmos (version 2.1 is very stable and recommended)
 Download Mode : Turn off phone. Hold vol down+home+turn on button. Release the on button after phone is turning on. After a few second, release all buttons. After that vol up
 Run Odin, connect phone with usb cable, yellow COMx will be shown in Odin
 Re-partition should not be ticked (no pit file is required here)
 Select PDA button, choose the downloaded kernel file (usually a .tar file)
 Click Start, a PASS will be shown if succeed
 Result : rooted (Superuser) and CWM recovery

Sometimes the SuperUser just runs off - so after the rooted kernel you need to have the SuperUser injection done >

How To :
 Download the toolkit first (DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit)
 Tick USB debugging (settings->Applications->Development), if unticked before
 Tick Unknown sources (settings->Applications)
 Using windows task manager, "end task" ADB.exe and all KIES related software if running
 Connect phone using provided cable, ADB driver for the phone will be installed automatically assuming you have installed KIES first
 Double click the "runme.bat"

The dos prompt output should match >

Wrestlemania 28 - the high's low's and inbetweeners

2012-04-04T06:26:00.001-07:00

keeping it on 1st April keeps everyone on doubt, are they just doing a year long punk ? who is being fooled ?

gigantanormous stadium with palm pillar - reminds of the last wrestlemania they had which had more theme of gladiators....WWE has moved out of the 'characters' to 'person' wrestlers - there are lesser and lesser of these Kane/Taker/Man-Kind - the magicians - no real persons. Bring these kinda characters back - induce more magic....
well here we go....

18 seconds champ ! what a waste, Daniel Bryan -you have been insulted by WWE once again...poor fellow - last wrestlemania his match was canned...and now this one...poor.

Viper has lost it and the Big Red Machine rocks !

i hear voices ? randy ? hello ! looks like he lost his touch the viper needs to go to the dark side now - make use of Kane and go to the dark side !

big show emotional show was fun to watch than the stupid fued for the match.

holla holla ! what was Maria Menounos thinking ?

the deadman - hunter - shawn - hell in a cell - takers new look - oh at wrestlemania...! the match of the show ! turned out to be more of an endurance match.

Taker and HHH both gave their all - can we expect more taker....? let see

lets wait for next year now....

GM vs Interim general manager of raw and vice president of talent relations, phew ! that took time.

the B class talent who could get individual matches in Wrestlemania - like Miz and Dolph....anyway it turned out to be a comic relief/waste of wrestlemania time....something we see on RAW Supershows.

Punk - y2k match was technical superbness, esp the anaconda vise ending....neat stuff - realistic looking rivalry.

Brodus Clay as the Planet Funk - are you kidding me ? uninstall him fast ! please !

a match booked 1 year in advance....

the year long trash talk, unlike other wrestlers or last minutes wrestlemania matches - which can change at last moment....cena and rock need to 'take care' of themselves through out the year for just this 1 day.

Cena had to drop the belt and go through this "fan rejuvination camp" which WWE setup for most of the year - they got Cena Senior, Mick Foley, Rowdy Piper, et al. Alas WWE could not change the fan from "lets go cena, cena sucks" chants....poor fellow.

cena kicked "rock's bottom" through out the match - amazing cardio....which dwayne cant match

he practically put the bhrama bull to sleep on internal-national television

alas the poster boy gotta win...keep vince boy happy....keep G.I.Joe ticket sales high !

and fruity pebbles would need to endure his fans once again......with the loss

Customizing the Launcher 7 Shell

2012-03-26T19:59:00.000-07:00

to look like this -

once you install Launcher 7 you will be invited with blank main tile space.

go to the right hand apps - hold and 'pin to home screen'

or for special tiles like the Contact Tile, bring options up - 'Add special tile'

Initially Launcher 7 looks very crude and bloated and not smooth.

to tweak that - go into 'Launcher7 settings'

on the main setting screen

Enable smaller tiles

Use system font

then >

Animation Options :

Animate while scrolling

Bouncy scrolling

Alternate tile alignment

Status bar options :

Use WP7 style status bar

Transparent status bar

Battery percentage

To get Live Wallpaper / Custom Background-

change 'background color' to 'System Wallpaper'

then 'Change wallpaper' to the pic or live wallpaper you want.

Modify transparency

in 'Tile Color' > Custom Color > drag for your transparency choice and apply.

You are now done !

enjoy !

How to connect your Android phone to Corp Wifi

2012-03-13T16:05:00.000-07:00

Depending on your Android device you may get web access via Wifi if you can set your Proxy configuration (see at the end). The following steps will enable Exchange sync and other services that do not require proxy access.

Adding PROXY server

1. Under Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-fi settings, from the menu, choose Advanced

2. Set the Proxy to: proxyserver.domain.com

3. Set the Port to: 80

4. If you do not see proxy settings in the menu, try the voice dialer and say "Proxy settings".

This should be all that's needed to connect to WIFI.

(deprecated certificate installation steps)

1. Open certmgr.msc on your corpnet PC.

2. Navigate to Current User -> Personal -> Certificates

3. Click Action -> All Tasks -> Request New Certificate

4. Click Next.

5. Use the default “Active Directory Enrollment Policy” and click Next.

6. Select Authenticated Session_R2

7. Click Details on the right side of this selection.

8. Click the Properties button

9. Go to the Private Key tab

10. Expand the Key Options bar.

11. Select “Make Private Key Exportable”.

12. Click OK

13. Click Enroll

14. You’ll see a new cert in the window now with Certificate Template “Authenticated Session_R2”.

15. Right click that Certificate

16. Select All Tasks -> Export

17. Select “Yes export the private key”.

18. Leave the default options and click Next.

19. It will ask for you to assign a password.

20. Save the key somewhere on disk.

21. Rename the key to a .p12 extension.

22. Connect the Droid to the PC with the USB.

23. Copy the .p12 to the root of the smart card.

24. On the Droid go to Settings -> Location & Security

25. Select “Install from SD Card”

26. Select the .p12 file to install the cert and give it a name.

27. If your correct password is not accepted, try "Importing certificates" below.

28. Now go to Settings -> Wifi Settings

29. Select “CORP-WLAN”

30. For EAP method select “TLS”

31. Leave Phase 2 Authentication as “None”

32. Leave C/A Certificate as “None”.

33. Client Certificate should be the installed cert name.

34. In Identity enter your domain\alias

35. Leave Anonymous Identity blank.

36. For Wireless Password enter your domain password.

37. Click Connect.

38. Proxy Settings (Your Phone May Not Have This.)

You can also use your username and password to connect to CORP-WLAN access point:

1. EAP method: leave as default (PEAP)

2. Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPV2 or none. I think it depends on which building you are in.

3. CA certificate: leave empty

4. User certificate: leave empty

5. Identity: your domain\username

6. Anonymous identity: empty

7. Password: your domain password

Importing certificates into Android 2.1

2.1 will not let you import chained certs, complaining about incorrect password. Here is a workaround:

openssl.exe pkcs12 -in .p12 -out tempcert.pem -nodes

openssl.exe pkcs12 -export -out .p12 -in tempcert.pem

Using ProxyDroid (requires root!)

If you don't have access to changing your proxy settings (or only want the proxy settings to apply on corpnet), install ProxyDroid. Connect to CorpNet normally as per the instructions above (no certificates, just the 1-7 above). Then set ProxyDroid as follows to get web, exchange access:

1. Host: proxyserver.domain.com

2. Port: 80

3. Proxy Type: HTTP

4. Auto Connect: Checked

5. Binded Network: CORPWLAN

6. Intranet Addresses: 192.168.0.0/24

7. User: your alias

8. Password: ********

9. NTLM Authentication: Checked

10. Domain: your domain

11. Global Proxy: Checked

12. DNS Proxy: Unchecked

Android 2.3.3 Compatibility

* The above instructions work on Samsung/Google Nexus S running Android 2.3.3

* Proxy instructions are to be entered into Firefox Browser.

XXLPJ - Samsung Galaxy S2 - SII - Ice Cream Sandwich - 4.0.3

2012-03-13T07:06:00.001-07:00

Here we go.. Yep Samsung Started the Rolling out the Ice Cream Sandwich Update...

XXLPJ - I have not tested this one.... Will update once I have tested..

Wait for one more Day guys..

XXLPH - Samsung Galaxy S2 - SII - I9100 - ICS - Ice Cream Sandwich - 4.0.3

2012-03-11T09:15:00.004-07:00

It is too late for this post, but worth wait.

Yep. I was testing the XXLPH for some time and here are the good and bad.

XXLPH - Stock ROM has good things, however there are so many Samsung Apps. I don't like those which utilizes more processing and more memory.

Then I was waiting for Wanam, to post his custom ROM. He released some versions of custom ROM. Finally I was most satisfied with his v9.1 .

Here are the good and bad about WANAMLITE v9.1:

# CRT OFF Animation has a glitch - This is a Kernel Issue, Wanam has nothing to do.
# Email app, now without Security Policies. - Yes we can use office email without PIN Lock.
# Market now as Google Play - Same features , don't see anything new in it.
# TW Launcher Included - Unnecessary, but some body requested.
# APEX Launcher, Nova Launcher and Trebuchet Launcher. - I like APEX.
# Notifications - Quick Panel Settings- Fully customizable.
# ICS Themed.
# Camera Sound Disabled.
# Google Apps updated to Latest version.
# CWM Latest.
# Siyah Kernel - 3.0 with Some improvements ( I don't know what are the inprovements :P)
# 3D Gallery included.

How to install :

Copy my rom to internal sdcard.
BACKUP.... BACKUP..... BACKUP.....
If you came from a Gingerbread or AOSP Rom or if you use Stock Email, you MUST WIPE your data
Flash my rom from Recovery
Reboot & enjoy, let the phone to boot up, at least 5 minutes to let media scanner finish.

Important : This ROM says No-WIPE, however I would suggest everyone to WIPE Data and WIPE Cache, then install. You will not get any force close for any apps.

MODS:

Default, Galaxy SII has a big icons and big letters. Sometimes it is annoying. So here is a wonderful tool from JRummy. ROMTOOLBOX. There are two versions, FREE and PRO. You can download from Market.

Note: Requires ROOT Access.

Reduce the character size: Open ROM Tool Box -> Performance Tab -> buildprop Tweaks -> LCD Density - > 180 ( Default is 240. You can reduce up to 160 in S2).

If you reduce the Density, phone dialer will reduce the size. So you can use any third party dialers to avoid that.

Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 vs i9100g

2012-02-07T20:40:00.000-08:00

You might find there are some slightly different of the Samsung Galaxy S2 that you purchase now compare to the Samsung Galaxy S II that your friend purchased a few months back. Basically Samsung has blend both the model GT-I9100 and GT-I9100G into the market and treated it as Samsung Galaxy S2 but you may find that some of the users commented that both are not the same and there are performance differences when you run some resources crunching app/ games. So how true is it? And is there really a differences between GT-I9100 vs. GT-I9100G? Today, we going to reveal it all today.

What is the Main Differences Between I9100 and I9100G?

Basically both the I9100 and I9100G have the identical features as claimed by Samsung but the only thing that differentiate both is the processor and GPU that the unit run. I9100 run on 1.2GHz ARM CortexA9 Exynos 4210and ARM Mali-400 GPU while I9100G uses Texas Instruments OMAP4430 CPU and PowerVR SGX540 GPU.

While according to the review from Lowyat member, the processor for I9100G seems to be capped at lower clock speed of 1008Mhz and it seldom goes up till the 1.2GHz as claim by Samsung even while performing Stress Test or benchmarks. But one thing for sure, the I9100G seem to have a better control of Galaxy S2′s poor battery life and overheating issue faced by most of I9100 users. And as claim by the review, user of I9100G may encounter some problem to download some apps / games in the Android Market/Samsung Apps on I9100G as it failed to be optimized for the TI processor.

In short, Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100 is using Samsung own Exynos 4210 SoC CPU and ARM Mali-400 GPU. And GT-I9100G uses Texas Instruments OMAP4430 CPU and PowerVR SGX540 GPU.

TWO DIFFERENT INTERNAL SPECS, DIFFERENT GPU AND CPU.

I9100G
- Doesn’t overheat easily, better battery life.
- CPU seems to be capped at 1008 MHz.
- Poorer 3D performance.
- Can’t download apps / games developed for Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 in Samsung Apps / Android Market.
- Fonts in PAPAGO! very small.
- Not much custom firmware / modification

I9100
- Overheat easily, poor battery life on Android 2.3.3. Android 2.3.5 fixed it.
- Fully use 1.2 GHz CPU.
- Better 3D performance.
- Anti-Aliasing (4xAA and 16xAA) support with Chainfire3D Pro.
- Lot of custom firmware, kernel, modification, tweaks…

more details >

Here is the snapshot of official statement from Samsung Malaysia in the Facebook regarding the issue:

“Hi all. Samsung released both device variants (I9100 and I9100G), which are being released at the same price and provide identical product features (including Super AMOLED plus screen and 1.2 GHz dual-core processor). The difference in chipsets does not impact the overall product performance in any one variant relative to the other. Product packaging remains the same for both variants, although the device type for each model is clearly labeled in the packaging.”

How to Identify Whether Your Samsung Galaxy S II is I9100 or I9100G?

Basically there are three way which you could check whether your unit or the unit of Samsung Galaxy S II you would like to purchase is I9100 or I9100G.

Check on the label at the bottom of the box.

Go to the phone setting to verify it. > Settings > About phone > Model number
Boot up screen when you boot up

Which Samsung S2 Model Should You Buy? GT-I9100 or GT-I9100G?

From the comparison above, it seem that I9100 fare better compare to I9100G, if price of both units is the same then I9100 should be a better option since Samsung improved the I9100 I/O, 3D performance and battery life with the latest Android firmware ver 2.3.5. But if short battery life is your main concern and you don’t want to mess with the firmware update thing then I9100G should be good enough for you. On the other hand, if you are some hardcore gamer and like to play with the custom firmware and kernel modification thing then you should try to get the model I9100 instead.
