How to install Custom Rom on Android

2013-07-22T11:10:00.000+05:30

Here are the steps that you should follow:

Root Your Phone
Install ROM Manager App
Back Up
Download The ROM You Want To Try
Flash It
Want To Go Back? Restore It

1.Root Your Phone:

Follow this link.

2.Install ROM Manager App:

This is the easiest step. Go to the Android Market on your phone and install ROM Manager.
This excellent application handles backing up and restoring, as well as flashing new ROMs, all from an easy user interface. This application requires root, which is why we've first gone with step 1.
Got the app installed? You should see something like this:

3. Back Up:

This part is very easy and in fact I dedicated a whole tutorial just to this subject which you can read if you want more details about the backing up and restoring process.
Done reading the backup tutorial? Now check this out: you don't even have to perform a manual backup - ROM Manager will automatically ask if you want to back up or not in step 5, when you are flashing the new ROM. This is what it will look like:

3.1. Flash A Recovery Image:

If you read the backup/restore article above, you may have seen that there is a one-time step that was needed before ROM Manager, or any other manager, can install ROMs, back up, restore, or do anything with Nandroid Backup - and that is flashing a recovery image.

Important: unplug the USB cable during this step, as some users are reporting problems flashing recovery while plugged in (thanks DennGir and others).

This recovery image contains a boot loader which replaces your original boot loader.
The boot loader gives you the ability to run Nandroid backup and restore commands outside of the OS.
It also lets you install ROMs but we will not do that today. Since the OS cannot back itself up fully while running, ROM Manager will reboot into this boot loader to perform Nandroid operations.

Again, remember: this step needs to be done one time only.

4. Download The ROM You Want To Try And Copy It To Your Phone's SD Card:

Here is where you need to do a bit of research and find the ROM image you want to put on your phone. If you don't know exactly what you're looking for, again, Google can help you - just search for "YOUR_PHONE_MODEL ROM" and look around.
For instance, if you have a Nexus One, you may want to go with CyanogenMod and if you have a Sprint HTC Hero (CDMA), you will want to check out DamageControl.

If you bought ROM Manager Premium, which I recommend, you would have a "Download ROM" menu enabled right within the app, containing some of the most popular ROMs, so you don't have to look for them online or spend time downloading them on your computer and copying to the phone. If you choose not to use ROM Manager Premium or if the ROM you want is not included in the default list, then keep reading this section.

Each ROM you find will be based on a specific Android version - make sure to pay attention to that.

DamageControl ROM For The HTC Hero

In my case, I knew that there were not many options for my Sprint HTC Hero and I quickly found that the DamageControl ROM was exactly what I'd been looking for.
It is currently based off Android 2.1 and it's exactly what I had flashed on my phone to come up with this [p]review: Detailed Mega Review Of Android 2.1 On Our HTC Hero – Discover All The New Features (With Lots Of Screenshots).

Download The ROM You Selected

Download the ROM image, which is usually a zip archive, and copy it into the root folder of your SD card.
Important: you do not unzip the .zip file - just copy it as is.
You can do it by

attaching the phone with a USB cable and selecting the option of mounting the SD card to be used as a drive on the computer

unmounting the SD card, physically taking it out of the phone, and inserting into your own card reader

downloading the ROM straight from the phone browser

Once you've copied the ROM image, you can proceed to flashing it in step 5.

If you purchased ROM Manager Premium for $3.99, in addition to thanking the developer for the awesome job, you've also unlocked a few premium features. In particular, the Premium version can download ROMs compatible with your phone straight from ROM Manager. Just select "Download ROM" and see which ones are available for your model.
Unfortunately, there is no ROM entered into the app for Sprint HTC Hero at the moment, so you still have to download it manually using the directions in step 4.

5. Flash It:

The process of installing new firmware or low-level system software in general is called flashing.
We will be flashing the new custom ROM over the stock one that came with your phone.

Pop open the ROM Manager and click "Install ROM from SD Card"
The ROM you downloaded in step 4 should show up in the list. If it doesn't, make sure you've put it into the root folder of the SD card.
Click on the ROM and you should receive a popup inviting you to
- back up existing ROM (which you should do unless you've already backed up manually) and
- wipe data and cache, which you should only do if you want to do a clean install, i.e. when upgrading from the stock ROM. Note: this does not wipe your SD card data - it only wipes the phone's internal memory.
Follow the rest of the prompts and voila - the ROM is being installed!

Check out these screenshots I took, showing the full process:

The flashing process should take 5-10 minutes installing everything and then 10-20 minutes during the first boot. Please be patient during this process.
Once the phone boots, you should find yourself in the new ROM.
This is it - end of the road! You've done it! Enjoy your fast and clean phone.

Problem During Flashing?

If after the "Reboot and Install" step, you immediately get a picture of Android with a big exclamation point, most likely it means the ROM image you downloaded was not cryptographically signed by the developer (which happens if they were in a hurry to release or simply don't use encryption).
That's OK - you can fix this by:

clicking the exclamation point screen, which goes to the ClockworkMod recovery menu or simply rebooting into recovery manually (that's one of the options in the ROM Manager). Alternatively, you can boot into recovery by holding Power and Home buttons together while powering up your phone
selecting the option that says "install zip from sdcard"
toggling the "toggle signature verification" option to turn the verification off (it should say "Signature Check: Disabled")
giving flashing another try by selecting "choose zip from sdcard" and selecting the right ROM, just like before

I took some screenshots of this process to make this easier to comprehend:

6. Want To Go Back? Restore It:

Alright, you may want to restore the original full backup of your OS that you took in step 3 (or 5). Maybe you forgot something in the original installation or want to go back to stock for another reason - no problem.
Install and load up the ROM Manager app in the custom ROM you flashed (basically, repeating step 2). Now use the "Manage and Restore Backups" menu to find your backup and restore it (including the OS itself and all the apps, settings - everything that you backed up).
After you're done restoring, you'll be back to your original OS as if nothing ever happened (was it just a dream?)

How to Download Paid Android Applications and Games for Free

2013-07-21T10:47:00.000+05:30

Android is an open source operating system for mobile devices. The main feature of android is its market application that contains a lot of paid and free applications. But, most of the free applications are made available at a cost of advertisement (AdMob) in your mobile devices. So, we all prefer paid applications to free ones. But if you can’t afford them for whatsoever be the reason then you might want to get them for free.

There are two common ways to get paid applications completely for free viz. Google Search and Black Market applications. In this article I will describe them in detail to you so that it will be easy for you to work around these methods.

The first method is to use applications (aka Black market applications) on your phone to download paid applications directly to you handset. Blackmart, Snappz, Applanet and Apktor are the applications that let you install paid applications directly to your phone in order of preference. You might be thinking, “I’ve got four choices, huh! So, which should I use or which one is better?” Believe me, Blackmart is the best among these applications. Why? Black mart has a good user interface and contains both free and paid applications as well as games. The filter and sort options are what I like the most. You can filter apps by all, free or paid then you can sort them according to downloads, ratings and many more. Similarly, it also notifies when an update is available for your installed applications. In fact it is the best replacement for android market app. Despite of the fact that it crashes sometimes, it is the bestblack market application to download paid applications for free. You can download it from the link given at the bottom of this article.

Second method is also very simple. Just, Google search for the required application. For better search result and to make sure you get the download link to the application please follow the instructions given below:

Search for application in your market app and then note down its name and version.
When you get the name and version of the application you want to download google for ‘Application Name version .apk’ or ‘download application name version .apk’ without quotes. For example, to search for pro version of AppMonster app google ‘AppMonster Pro v2.0.9.3 .apk’

For better results (to download paid applications) it is good idea to include 'Pro' or 'Premium' word in your search query. As the application package files are shared by users you can also search them in file sharing sites like 4Shared, media fire,etc (If you want to download applications at full speed and with resume capability). The main drawback of this method is that you will have to mount your sdcard to your computer and copy the files to it each time you download new applications and then install them manually on your device. There are some websites that provide download links and reviews of paid and free applications. Check them out from the links given below for you might find the application you want in these sites.

Please remember that piracy is an illegal act. It is always recommended that you buy the original applications from android market legally. You can use this method to see how an application is (or how it works) and then buy the original one from the android market.

Download Black Market Applications from links given below:

Rooting your Android Smartphone

2013-07-13T09:25:00.000+05:30

Hello guys,
        Today I am going to speak about Rooting Android Smartphone. Most of the entry level smartphone comes with either Froyo 2.2.2 or Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Even I am having LG Optimus One). And also they don't support up-gradation due to their hardware limitations.

        But we all know, there is a possibility to hack everything in this technical era. So you can install even the latest O.S on your android. The O.S that comes along with the device when you buy is called Stock Rom. Installing a new O.S unofficially or without official update is called Installing Custom Rom.

       In order to install Custom Rom on your device, your device have to be rooted first. Rooting an Android phone means getting SuperUser access on your phone which enables you to do a lot of things on your phone which are not possible otherwise. To root your device, follow the steps below.

Enable USB debugging on your phone by going to Settings –> Applications –> Development. Check the ‘USB Debugging’ option.
Make sure you have a SD card inserted and mounted in your phone (Don’t know if it’s necessary but before proceeding further I formatted my SD card after taking a backup of the data in it. Why take a risk? )
Download the GingerBreak APK from XDA Developers and get it onto your phone.
Install it by browsing to the GingerBreak APK in any file manager.
Open GingerBreak from your app drawer and press the root button.
Wait for a few minutes. If there are no problems, the device will reboot itself. (The reboot will take quite some time.)
You will see a SuperUser app in your app drawer after the reboot. Open it and see if it is working.
You now have a rooted your phone.

The Great Wall of China looking GREAT

2012-10-31T11:30:00.001+05:30

The Great Wall of China looking GREAT..!!! ;)

The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China in part to protect the Chinese Empire or its prototypical states against intrusions by various nomadic groups or military incursions by various w...

arlike peoples or forces. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC; these, later joined together and made bigger, stronger, and unified are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall. Especially famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains. Since then, the Great Wall has on and off been rebuilt, maintained, and enhanced; the majority of the existing wall was reconstructed during the Ming Dynasty.

The Largest Living Organism

2012-10-31T11:23:00.002+05:30

What’s the largest living organism?

The elephant? The blue whale? The T-Rex? No. The largest ever living organism is a mushroom. And not even a particularly rare one. The Armillaria ostoyae or ‘Honey fungus’ is very common, and is probably in your garden as we speak. However, lets hope it doesn’t grow as large as the largest ever recorded specimen, in Malheur National forest, in Oregon. It covers...

2,200 acres (890 hectares)!! And is between 2,000 and 8,000 years old!! The majority of the organism is under ground, in the form of a massive mat of tentacle-like mycelia (the mushroom’s equivalent of roots). The giant honey fungus was originally thought to grow in different clusters around the forest, but researches have confirmed it is in fact one very, very large single organism!

Top 10 Mysteries of the Universe

2012-09-13T22:53:00.002+05:30

Top 10 Mysteries of the Universe

The Universe… The incredible difference in scale between the tiny world we live in every day and the vastness of all time and space begs the question of whether we will ever be able to grasp the fullness of the cosmos. But that doesn’t stop us from trying. In fact, contemplating the great unknowns must be one of the oldest hobbies in human experience. The pursuit

has given rise first to religion, then to philosophy, then to people who make fun of religion and philosophy.

10. Extraterrestrial Intelligence

This is really a simple mystery. Is there other intelligent life out there in the universe? Carl Sagan reminds us that if we exist, then, no matter how rare intelligence is in the universe, given how huge the universe is, we must have many neighbors out there somewhere. Frank Drake, an astrophysicist, created an equation that helps figure out how much intelligent life there is in the universe, and estimated that if only one in a billion planets has intelligent life, then there must still be over 6 billion planets with intelligence on them. Enrico Fermi, however, pointed out that if life is that common, then it is virtually impossible that we haven’t yet detected any signs of other intelligent life in the universe. So, the real mystery is this: what is it about Earth that makes no one want to play with us?

9. The Tunguska Explosion

On the 30th of June, 1908 (or the 17th, at the time; the calendar has been revamped since then), at 7:17 am (local time), something exploded over a region of forest in the Tunguska River Valley in Siberia, Russia. Locals many miles away saw something bright blue streak toward the area and explode with incredible force, sufficient to register on instruments in England. Later examination of the site showed that trees had been knocked down in a radial pattern from a central point, indicating an air burst of some kind. To this day, scientists aren’t sure what it was, and generally figure that it was a meteor or a fragment of a comet. Why did it explode in the air? Why haven’t we found any pieces? The mystery has kept UFO aficionados up at nights since then.

8. Rare Antimatter

Matter and antimatter are, in theory, created at the same time by the same event. When a normal baryonic particle is created, an antiparticle of the same mass and opposite charge is also created. However, while we have created antimatter in laboratories on Earth, we don’t see it in the universe around us. No one seems to know what happened to all the antimatter that should be there…

7. Consciousness

What is the mind? Behaviorists say that it is just conditioned responses. But it’s hard to deny that our ability to reflect on our own thoughts is something distinct and interesting. Is it a mere side-effect of the way our brains work? If so, how long will it be before a computer becomes self-aware and asks for equal rights? How can you tell true consciousness from something designed to simulate it? Can consciousness survive the death of the brain that carries it? There are a lot of questions, but until we can have an equal conversation with either a robot or a ghost, there really won’t be any answers.

6. Dark Matter / Dark Energy

Current models of the universe, and observations made by high-tech instruments, point to there being an enormous amount of matter in the universe beyond what we can actually see. In fact, we can only seem to perceive about 4% of the stuff in the universe directly. The rest is invisible, or “dark matter,” a term that just means that we have no idea what it is. Accompanying this dark matter is some type of energy that, like dark matter, we can’t perceive directly. We call this, in a moment of inspiration, “dark energy.” Apparently, there’s even more of this than there is dark matter. Different theories abound, but perhaps, as mentioned in #10 above, most of the universe is just avoiding us.

5. Time

You think you know what time is? Okay, try defining it without using any terms that rely on time. Time is… well, it’s time. It’s what keeps every event from happening simultaneously, and it’s what distinguishes something that happened in the past from something that will happen in the future. Is it a dimension, like space? Is it a quality of matter? Is it merely an illusion, possibly created to boost sales of digital watches? The smartest guys in the world get headaches from this one.

4. The Beginning of the Universe

How did the universe begin? Did the universe ever begin? If the universe includes everything that we know, including time, could there possibly even be a “before” before the beginning of the universe. Current theories generally talk about a “Big Bang,” which is a massive expansion of all matter and energy from a single point, which is still continuing through the present day. What started the bang? Where did all the energy and matter come from? Are these questions even meaningful? What about creationism, if that is for you? If God created the universe and all the physical laws in it, what is he doing now that it is running itself?

3. End of the Universe

Following the question of the end of the universe is the question of the end of the universe. Opinions vary on whether we can expect the universe to ever expire. There are several possibilities. One is that the universe will continue to expand, and eventually become so spread out that all matter and energy is just a homogeneous cloud of thin, lukewarm dust. Another is that gravity will eventually catch up with all the matter, and the universe will slow down and fall back into a single point, which may spark another big bang. Yet another theory notes that baryons and protons, the building blocks of matter, don’t seem to be being created naturally anymore, and if they decay (as some other particles do), the universe will simply fade out as all the particles just cease to be. In general, nothing untoward is expected to happen to the universe for many billion years, which will probably be a relief to those with long-range investments.

2. Multiple Universes

Current quantum physics raises the possibility that there are many universes besides our own, existing in the same space and time, but only interacting in certain limited ways. These universes may have their own separate histories and futures, and even their own laws of physics. This is all vague theory for the moment, but some day it may be possible to travel to the universe where your favorite singer won American Idol or visit with evil Spock.

1. Grand Unification Theory

For decades, physicists have been trying to make sense of the difference between Isaac Newton’s classical physics (you know, what you use to play pool) Einstein‘s relativistic physics, that involve very large or massive things at enormous velocities, and Heisenberg’s (and others’) quantum physics, which concerns things so small that you can’t even measure them without changing the result. These three sets of physical laws seem to play by their own rules, largely ignoring each other, and yet they all relate to the same universe. And so physicists have hunted for the Grand Unification Theory, which would substitute for all of these incomplete sets of laws and make sense of it all. Perhaps it doesn’t exist. Or perhaps it’s just too complex for human minds to grasp. One way or the other, it’s going to keep scientists arguing for some time to come. Cartoon property of Berkeley Breathed.

Real fact behind the name of Orange Fruit

2012-09-03T22:40:00.003+05:30

Have you ever wondered whether the fruit orange was named after the color orange or was it the other way around? The word orange comes from the Spanish word ‘naranja’. ‘naranja’ is derived from the Sanskrit word nāraṅga which means ‘orange

tree’. This particular word changed when it came to the English language over time and became orange. Around the sixteenth century, this particular word not only referred to the fruit but also to the color. So there you have it, the color was named after the fruit itself.
