Today we are experiencing high advanced technological world where mobile operating systems are on their peak. Last five years have being truly amazing with so much unique and creative ideas emerged in the whole world of smartphone which basically started with Apple introducing their breath taking iOS with Iphone. Thanks for Steve Jobs who made this come true. It was revolutionary as he mentioned in key notes while he was introducing first Apple Iphone in 2007. He made a boost in the smart phone industry and still we are in that boost.
Apple ideas were always different from the hardware and software developers. Their image was not to just sell their product but to make innovations so that they can file their patents to be the big foot in the market. It started with the introduction of Macintosh which had first revolutionary mouse. Yup the mouse which we use today is a revolution made by Apple Inc and today we see mouse in all computers and laptops. It was a Steve Job idea and all thanks go to him. At first Apple entered to smartphone market very silently but it was a huge blow in the market. Back in those days we do not have smart phones like we have today. All we can remember is we had smart phones like HP ipaq and that was the situation at that stage.
Apple introduced Iphone in 2007 which brought so much changes in the history of smart phones. It was first time that anything had what we called ‘Multi-Touch’. That’s right, it is a copyright of Apple and they introduced it with Apple’s Iphone. It also had an OS called iOS which was so advanced compare to those days operating systems and it was like an alien technology because no one ever had expected such kind of advance device at that stage. By introducing Iphone, Steve Jobs made it straight clear that no one are ahead of them until few years ahead to compete them. It is called high skilled engineering and it made them the leading company of the World till today. It also brought so much competition in the market which led to born Android, Web OS, Windows Phone 7.
When we look at our current situation of smart phone industry we are again loosing the high skilled engineering. Today again we are unable to see those kind of works. Lets look into Apple devices today. They have introduced Iphone 5 and iOS 6. Iphone 5 is made of 4inch display. Of course anyone can make their phone size to different sizes and it’s simple and when we look into iOS 6 we find lot of sad news. We all might think iOS 6 have brought so much advancement but it’s not at all true. Those advancements were already existed in iOS 5. Developers made almost all of those for free with iOS 5 but still Apple integrated all those with Apple design in iOS 6 which makes it heavier and bulky. They also removed Google Maps in iOS 6 and replaced it with Apple Maps which make them few years back in the development of smart phones.
Apple Maps is not completely finished project as far we have experience and it lacks tonnes of information and settings compare to Google Maps and it is not accurate. More than that we will not be able to find road information and other stuffs in it. Therefore it is really a wrong move in today’s market where Microsoft also started taking cuts. As far i am concerned that Apple needs their iOS be smarter rather than fighting for an app for maps. If people lost the interest in iOS it will drop down Apple smart phone industry which Steve Jobs introduced. Because as far i know, people love Iphone for not only it shape or size but it’s OS. If it features becomes limited it will effect the users. Today we are seeing one of it. Dropping Google Maps means all people using Iphone for navigation purpose might drop Apple. Therefore they really need to re-thing of their decisions.
Tonight i have worked with Iphone 4 which is locked to AT&T with the latest firmware version iOS 6 . It is really interesting to play these kind of different technological devices which open people like us to comment and share the knowledge behind the errors, bugs and even many other problems which users faces while using these devices. So today i am going to discuss about the problem which you face at current state while you try to jail break and unlock the latest Apple’s iOS 6.
I have searched tonnes of forums and blogs in order to find a solution for the iOS 6 to jailbreak. At first my attempt was to downgrade the iOS6 to an older firmware which was 5.0.1 but it became impossible when i realized Apple have blocked the signing on these older iOS. It just gives an error 11 which i have came across in these Apple devices for the first time. There is a fix for this so called error 11 but you will need previously build SHSH blobs to perform the task. Lets say if you want to downgrade your firmware to 5.0.1 from 6.0 then you have to have 5.0.1 SHSH blobs saved in your computer. If not there is no way to downgrade your iOS to an older version.
Here is the step you have to follow if you have SHSH blobs saved. Remember there is no way to retrieve your past SHSH blobs from any software in internet at the current time. You can try iFaith but it will work on much older firmwares not in 6.0
1. Download the latest version of RedsnOw
2. Click extra >SHSH blobs>stitch and select the IPSW file which you want to downgrade (eg 5.0.1)
3. Now click local and select SHSH blobs file you have saved previously for the firmware ( for iOS 5.0.1 you will need SHSH Blobs for that version) . This will allow you to create a new firmware file which you can be used to downgrade your iOS 6.
For those who do not have your SHSH blobs saved have to wait till there is a way to completely jail break iOS 6. But there is a good news for those who badly need to jail break. The latest version of RedsnOw have tethered jail break option. Which means if your mobile device is switched off then the jail break will be gone and you have to re- connect your Iphone to your PC and click ‘just boot’ option in RedsnOw in order to re-activate jailbreak.
Jail breaking your device will give much higher level of control to your device. It will support 3rd party application to be installed on your device.
Now lets talk about the problem that people might face if they got an locked device with firmware 6.0 like the one i got which was locked to AT&T. The first thing they will notice is that it will not let you open the device and even if you do, it will not let you to go to the main menu screen where you see all apps and so on. So i have found a solution for those guys which have this prob.
1. Go to Ebay and search for Iphone unlock code sellers. Tonight i have seen those codes which were selling around $8 , $10 etc which is worth buying because it will factory unlock your device. You guys have to send them the IMEI number of your mobile which you can get by pressing *#06# and it is really very fast service.
2. Second option is to Tethered Jail break the device using latest RedsnOw build which will let you open your device and will let enjoy the Iphone but remember jail breaking does not mean unlocking your device. But it will be easy to unlock if you jail break the devices at first.
So i hope many of people will benefit from this article which i share tonight. If anyone had problem let me know so that i can give some help.
Last night i was working on a brand new 16GB Hp touch pad which some one gave to me to install android in it. It was my second time i touch this HP device. When compare to other devices this device is so much unique in features and the touch display is so much amazing like Ipad devices and HP Web OS is just awesome. But it is very sad that HP have stopped developing the Web Os which opened to hack the device to install Android in order to get it running. Here i will discuss the steps you have to follow while installing Cyanogen Mod 9 on HP Touch Pad.
1. Download these files
a) Moboot
b) Recovery
c) Download and install Web OS SDK for Windows or Mac OS or Linux
d) Download CM9
e) Download ACMEInstaller3
2. Copy ACMEInstaller3 to C:\Program Files (x86)\Palm (Palm folder might be different from the one i have mentioned. But it will be in Program Files)
3. Connect HP Touch pad to PC and create a folder called ‘cminstall’ and put Moboot , Recovery , CM9 inside the folder. You do not have to extract any of those files.
4. Now remove the touch pad from your PC and shut it down. For those who cannot shutdown the Touch Pad just find the reset option in the setting. After you click reset it will show many options in which you will find shutdown option. Now shut it off completely.
5. Now click Volume up button and power button at same time and remove your fingers when you see a huge USB symbol. After that connect it to PC through USB cable and make sure it install some drivers. Normally it will install itself. If not try connecting again.
6. Now comes the best part. Open ‘CMD’ and write CD then write the location of the folder where ACMEInstaller3 copied. In my PC i write like this. ‘CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Palm’ without the marks. In windows 7 just go to the file location and right click the last folder in the upper bar where you will get some options where you can click ‘Copy address as text’ . Then open the CMD write CD give a space and just paste what you copied and click enter. Remember do not close the CMD yet.
7. After you have perform the step 6 success fully now copy this command and paste it in the CMD and hit enter.
novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller3
now it will start installing Android mod on your tablet. Just wait till it finishes installing the complete bundle. It will take some time to install the complete setup and will reboot as soon as it finishes. Now you will be enjoying the CM9 based ROM on your HP Touch pad.
Recently lot of people have asked this question and still they are going on talking in XDA. People wanted to have a free Rom like Android which make them easy to keep their documents and also they wanted to use it as a storage device which gives easy access to their personnel documents and it also remove the use of thumb drives. But people never thought Windows powered mobile devices are so much restricted to user’s when they bought the device. They thought that it will be just cool as Windows OS which we use in Laptops and PCs. Therefore they all are trying to find a way to get rid of Windows in their mobile device.
When we talk about Windows powered smartphone, we have to understand that Windows phones are very new to the market. After success of iOS and Android it is very difficult for another company to access to the market. The fine example is the blackberry market. It is just getting vanish compare to the both huge market of iOS and Android. But Microsoft are really working hard to achieve the result to compete with these two market leaders. They have brand new concept in their devices and those devices are very much unique compare to other brands. The tile based smooth system and Xbox integration are some of the cool features of it and they have already announce Windows 8 for their devices.
Some people say HD2 is also hacked and android is installed so why they cannot install Android on other Windows devices. When we talk about HD2 there are lot of differences in the devices. Firstly HD2 is powered by Windows mobile 6.0 which Microsoft have stopped giving support to develop and it’s market will not be developed further. Because of that reason hackers found out a way to keep HD2 going on in the market. The main reason for this was it have pretty much good hardware and when we look in to today’s hardware details this device is still in touch with the market. Today HD2 can be hacked and install any of the OS that people want. Whether it is Android or Windows or Ubuntu.
Windows Phone 7 are also hacked but developers do not want to ruin the future of these devices by finding a way to install Android. They have already unlocked the bootloader and found out a way to install RSPL/HSPL which give access to install custom rom for their WP7 devices. The custom Rom’s are based on latest Windows Phone roms and every one are given chance to install highly customized OS for their device and it gives access to root folders where anyone can edit the system files. So we can say developers do not want to ruin Windows based smartphone because they are unique in their way and it is getting the market as it crosses the days.
Therefore my advice for those who are searching for this result is to buy an Android powered device. There is no way you can install Android on Windows phones. Of course you might have found some kind of video which was based on HD7 running Android but that one is a chinese one. It have very much different hardware and it is not the HD7 that we are thinking. If you want you can buy that HD7 on some Chinese website but believe me it will not satisfy you. There are very limited roms for those Chinese devices and those are not updated.
October month have being a busy month this year. Lot of interesting technological announcement are scheduled to perform in this month including Apple big event and Microsoft event. There will be no doubt that these two giant companies will be head to head against each other in next few years to grab the market share. Apple on the other hand is moving towards the first trillion company to be labelled in near future. Therefore lets check out some of the big announcement that are going to happen on this October month.
It’s being a couple of months that rumors have talked about Apple’s new mini Ipad devices. Today it seem that the rumors were right as Apple are expected to reveal it’s new Ipad Mini on 23rd of October 2012. It will be a huge blow up to the tablet market as Apple announces this device. As we look in to current market tablet sizes between 7inch – 8inch it is expected that Apple mini Ipad version will be around $250 – $300 or may be few bucks higher for the reason that it have 3G capabilities. The current market leaders like Google Nexus tablet which cost around the same prices do not have 3G capabilities but it have the latest quad core processor which makes it fastest tablet in the current market. We have still not received details specs regarding the Ipad mini, therefore it is very difficult to compare hardware capabilities to another device at this point.
According to sources Apple will also be talking about it’s new 5th Generation Ipod touch on the same date. It is now confirmed that this version of Ipod touch will have a 4inch retina display screen. Therefore you will be enjoying a bigger screen on your Ipod touch 5th Generation then on 4th Generation. Some other sources are also saying that these latest Ipod’s are now on pre-orders. So have a look on Apple website for much update news. Currently we have not received much better hardware information regarding this one as well.
Now we come back to Microsoft. They have already started selling pre-orders through there website for their newest version Windows called Windows 8. The release date for Windows 8 is confirmed on October 26th 2012 where they will announce it officially. I have already check out the website of Microsoft and they are offering Windows 8 Upgrade for $14.99 . But remember you can use this offer only if you have a genuine Windows 7 or Xp version of OS. Pirated versions will be blocked by the server. Here are price details of Windows 8
1. Windows 8 Pro pack – $70
2. Windows 8 Full Version – $100
3. Windows 8 Pro Full Version – $140
Other than Windows 8 OS now you will be able to pre-order Windows 8 based PC’s as well. So better to grab these if you love Microsoft products and be updated with the latest improvements. If not you can wait till much better details arrive about it’s usage and technical problems in it.
So people, it’s a big month for everyone one. A big October is ending with huge surprises. Be part of it.
Microsoft is one of the most powerful software giant in the market and they are one of the richest companies of the world. After huge succession on their operating system called ‘Windows’ they were just unbeatable. First with Windows XP they just blew the market to high as sky. It was one of the fine works of an operating system till today. After the succession of Windows XP Microsoft targeted to new OS called Windows Vista which received mass number of negative feedback which resulted in Windows 7 which we use today and it is quiet easy and user friendly like Windows XP. This year again they have announced a new version of OS called Windows 8.
Microsoft confirms that Windows 8 will be as smooth as other operating systems which they have provided to their customers for the past decades or more. It have new bunch of styles which looks very much different compare to Windows 7 which currently running on our Windows based systems. The tile style which Microsoft call is really a unique feature with much beauty added in it. If you have used Windows based smart phone you might experience what tiles are and how it works. Normally all tiles are based on home screen of the OS and it can be highly customized as demand of the user. Tiles can be re-sized as per user wishes and it can be removed or added. It’s completely new concept of design that Microsoft have adopted in their new operating system.
Windows 8 will have it’s own market place which is quiet interesting. In previous operating systems develop by them do not have a market place where you can download and install bunch of application and games. Therefore it is expected that there will be an application or game for every type which user demands and if it so, it’s gonna hit very hard in the market. The application which Windows 8 adopt is called metro style applications. It is also a brand new concept design specialized for this operating system. Metro style application will be much lighter than the software’s we are experiencing on Windows 7. So the loading time of the application will be faster and quicker in these devices. According to rumors it also have a way to run Android applications in it.
Windows 8 is a major OS designed by Microsoft which could perform in Tablet PC as well as laptops and desktops. It have mufti touch support functions and it is designed in a way that you can use in a touch screen monitor as well. Therefor you will not feel any difference in using this OS in a touch screen monitor and tile functions in it will make your way easy to handle every bit of it. The concept of tile in Windows 8 is really amazing therefore i recommend every one to try a demo of this newly built OS so that you can experience the difference.
According to the sources it is confirmed that it will support almost all application which support in Windows 7 and also it is confirmed that driver support are also included. Therefore there is no panic in upgrading to this version for the sake of loosing the experience in Windows 7. It will bring lot of extra features and it will be very much connected through Office 360 and many more such kind of applications. More than that it is expected that it will also be connected with Microsoft Xbox, MSN and skydrive etc . ..
So i recommend everyone to have a touch on the demo of Windows 8 and have a experience before it releases on October 26th 2012.
Today lot of Apple fans are talking about it’s new Iphone 5 and it’s features. The Iphone 5 hit the market on few days ago and Iphone 4 users and other’s are trying to grab it by selling their old ones and even some selling their Ipad to buy the new come. Some says that they always have to be up with latest product so that they can be part of it. Well, to be part of it we need to check whether the newly technology have hardware capability to bring such an advancement compare to the old. Therefore there are lot of question that people have regarding the new device called Iphone 5.
According to the hardware comparison the latest Iphone 5 is not that much difference to pay $1000 to buy on Ebay. Of course it have a huge 4 inch ratina display but when when we compare that screen size to current market devices it does not make much difference. Normally the devices which are powered by Android are on 4 inch screen and it’s being in market for much longer time. Another hardware improvement we find is in it’s processor which is 1.2Ghz Dualcore with chipset Apple A6. Dual core processors are also very common in current market. The main example of those are Samsung Infuse 4G which was released in January 2011, a year and few months back. It have 1.2 Ghz processor with cortex A8. Other includes HTC Sensation, Motorola Droid Razr and Samsung Galaxy S2 devices etc… Therefore it does not make much difference compare to other device. Lets say Iphone 4S. It also have a Dual core 1Ghz processor . So the performance are likely to be much like Iphone 4S with difference in screen size.
There are no improvement in camera. Iphone 4 have dual camera 5mp, Iphone 4S have dual camera 8mp and Iphone 5 have dual camera 8mp which is same as Iphone 4S. Therefore it seems that Iphone 4S is a rip of Iphone 5 which makes almost every feature of it comparable with Iphone 5 except the screen size. When we look in to screen size Iphone 5 is few inches bigger than Iphone 4 and Iphone 4S but still it is a question that people need such a huge screen for Apple Iphone device. Bigger screen means high battery usage and drainage. Iphone 4 have battery of Li-Po 1420 mAh, Iphone 4S have Li-Po 1432 mAh and Iphone 5 have Li-Po 1440. Therefor there is no much difference in battery comparison So it is expected that Iphone 5 battery drainage and usage will be high in Iphone 5 and it will end up in twice charging than Other Apple Iphone devices.
The other new feature that Iphone 5 have adopted is LTE technology. LTE technology is on mobile market for few months already. One fine example is SONY LTE ION. There are other lot of devices which have LTE technology. But still this technology is very limited. It only supports in few countries in the world. Therefore international Iphone 5 users might not be able to use this feature even if they have it. Whereas Iphone 4 and Iphone 4S have 4G capabilities which support many countries in the world and it can be enjoyed by most users. If some one is buying Iphone 5 where he/she do not have LTE feature it means he/she is paying extra money for something never exist for he/she. It’s like throwing some bunch of money for garbage.
Therefore it is up to you to take the decision to upgrade to new Iphone 5 device. If you do, consider the above points.
Today i am going to write few simple steps for you guys to play ISO/CSO PSP game in PSvita. While we go in the steps it is expected that you have already got an user mode exploit. Latest exploits were found on Monster Hunter, Urbanix and Mad Blocker Alpha.
The method of ISO/CSO playing through this is called the hard method. But this is the best method you can have as per my opinion. There is an easy method other than this but i am not going to discuss it in here.
1. Go to your save data folder (WHERE YOUR EXPLOIT IS LOCATED) in your PC. It is located in “Documents/PS Vita/PSAVEDATA/….
2. Now make a folder called ‘PSP’
3. Next open the ‘PSP’ folder you have created and create a new folder inside ‘PSP’ folder called ‘GAME’ . Remember ‘ ALL IN CAPITALS’
4. Now download ‘NesterJ’ and copy this homebrew app to ‘GAME’ folder you have created.
5. Now rename ‘NesterJ’ to 8 CAPITAL LETTER WORD. Lets say ‘NESTERJP’
6. Now again created a new folder inside ‘GAME’ folder and give it the name of your PSP ISO/CSO . Lets say ‘SILENTHI’ . Remember all CAPITALS and each folder you create in ‘GAME’ folder must be 8 letters CAPITAL
7. Now copy your PSP ISO/CSO to the folder you have created.
8. Download homebrew application called ‘PSPFILER’
9. Rename PSPFILER to 8 letter CAPITAL word like did before and copy it to ‘Game’ folder
10. Download and install WinRAR
11. Right click ‘PSP’ folder you have created in save data exploit folder and click ‘add to archive’
12. Click zip in right side and rename the ‘archive name’ to ‘FILENAME.ZIP’ remember all in CAPITALS and 8 letters
13. Now select the compression method to ‘stock’ and hit ok.
Its’s all set. Now connect PSvita to PC and click copy the save data through content manager on PSvita. When it ask to overwrite click overwrite.
After copying over you can load the exploit. Here i am guessing that you have latest TN-B. You will see Nester J on it. Now click it. It will ask to extract.
After extracting is over open PSP filer and create a folder called ISO in the root and move the ISO/CSO game in the game folder to ISO folder. After it completes copying you can exit PSPFILER and now you will have your game waiting when you open the exploit.
Downloads
1. PSPFILER
2. NESTERJ
3. Customized folder i have created for youu people. Click here it have everything
You guys may here about Sony investing on a new version of psp. Rumors talks about the new version as PSP2 which they said that it’s real powerful and they could also have the possibility to play PS2 games. During this month sony have announced the new psp which they call NGP. According to hardware reviewers the hardware configuration of the new PSP is real powerful and it could play high graphically based games and it could lead a real success in the market.
COST
According to my researches NGP is gonna cost high in the market compare to Nintend 3D’s and it is also possible that it could cost more than the money you could spend on to buy a PS3. Therefore you have to save single penny you have today to buy a NGP. The overall cost of the NGP will be near around $350.
Specification
The specification is really interesting and is to be revealed as days go on. Some says that NGP have the possibility of cloud computing of games which can play games directly connected to PS3. Therefore it’s an high end machine.
Screen Size : 5″
Screen Type : OLED
Camera : Rear and front
CPU : ARM Cortex CPU with powerVR SGX543MP
