Speed Up Slow Google Searches in Android with This Tweak


If tapping the search bar and typing a search term inside the Google Search app seems painfully slow on your Android device, you're not alone. Thankfully, there's a an easy—albeit experimental—fix that can speed up those searches significantly, and all you have to do is disable a built-in system app to do it.
According to a few enterprising posters at Reddit and a bug report over at the Android project at Google Code, the reason Google searches can be so slow inside the Google App is because the "Search Applications Provider" utility built into Android is poorly optimized. It hangs trying to bring up other built-in applications that can handle search or match the search term you're typing, which slows down your phone and keeps your actual Google results from appearing. To fix the problem, you just have to disable that app:
  1. Tap the menu button and select settings.
  2. Select Apps, then swipe over to All Apps.
  3. Scroll down to Search Applications Provider. Tap it, then tap Disable.
You'll get a warning that some other apps may misbehave, and that's a fair warning—not everyone in the Reddit thread linked below had great results, and some people reported issues. On the whole though, the general reaction is positive, and most people saw speedier Google searches as a result. I tested it out on two devices, and in both cases I saw the same effect that most people in the thread reported: My first search after disabling the utility was a bit slow, but after that, results were almost instantaneous, and much faster than before.
As with anything like this, your mileage may vary depending on the version of Android you're running and the device you own, but it's worth a shot and fairly harmless. If you have issues, you can always re-enable the app (it'll be at the bottom of the list, with other disabled apps). If it works for you, the benefit is pretty significant.

Disable Animations on Android to Improve Performance

Animations look nice when navigating your phone or tablet, but they can cause delays and even slow down lower-powered devices. Disabling them can improve your Android device's performance.
This trick's been around a little while, so you may already be familiar with it. But if you're new to Android or just upgraded to a new phone and forgot about this, here's what you do:
  1. Make sure developer options are enabled. If they're not, go to Settings > About phone, then tap on Build number several times to enable it
  2. Go to Settings > Developer options, and scroll down to Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale.
   3. Tap on each of the animation options and turn them off.




Remember to leave Developer options turned on to keep the animations disabled. Turning Developer options off will reset the animations back to their default settings.

Update: Some people are noting that this can cause problems in certain apps, so if you experience weird behavior, try decreasing the delay to 0.5x instead of completely turning the animations off.

Everything You Need to Know About Rooting Your Android Phone

We love Android, but rooting your phone can give you the opportunity to do so much more than your phone can do out of the box—whether it's wireless tethering, speeding it up with overclocking, or customizing the look of your phone with themes. Here's what you need to know about the rooting process, and where to find a guide for your phone.

  • What Is Rooting, Exactly?

 Rooting, for those of you that don't know, means giving yourself root permissions on your phone. It's similar running programs as administrators in Windows, or running a command with sudo in Linux. With a rooted phone, you can run apps that require access to certain system settings, as well as flash custom ROMs to your phone, which add all sorts of extra features. If you're on the fence about rooting, check out our top 10 reasons to root your Android phone for some motivation.


  • Glossary of Rooting Terms

     

As you learn more about the rooting process, you'll probably run into a bunch of terms that can be confusing. Here are some of the most important ones and what they mean.
If there are any other terms you think we should add, let us know and we'll put them in!

  • Root: Rooting means you have root access to your device—that is, it can run the sudo command, and has enhanced privileges allowing it to run apps like Wireless Tether or SetCPU. You can root either by installing the Superuser application or by flashing a custom ROM that includes root access.
  • ROM: A ROM is a modified version of Android. It may contain extra features, a different look, speed enhancements, or even a version of Android that hasn't been released for your phone yet. We won't discuss ROMs in depth here, but if you want to use one once you're rooted, you can read more about doing that here.
  • Kernel: A kernel is the component of your operating system that manages communications between your software and hardware. There are a lot of custom kernels out there for most phones, many of which can speed up your phone and increase your battery life, among other things. Be careful with kernels, though, as a bad one can cause serious problems with your phone and possibly even brick it.
  • Radio: Radios are part of your phone's firmware. Your radio controls your cellular data, GPS, Wi-Fi, and other things like that. You can sometimes find custom radios for your phone that you can flash yourself, but beware as sometimes these can cause problems.
  • Flash: Flashing essentially means installing something on your device, whether it be a ROM, a kernel, or a recovery (see below) that comes in the form of a ZIP file. Sometimes the rooting process requires flashing a ZIP file, sometimes it doesn't.
  • Brick: To brick your phone is to break it during flashing or other acts. There is always a small risk with flashing, and if your phone becomes unable to function—that is, it basically becomes a brick—you've bricked your phone. The risk is very small, however, and more often than not people say "brick" when they really mean "it turns on but doesn't boot properly," which is a very fixable problem. See the FAQ below for more information.
  • Bootloader: Your bootloader is the lowest level of software on your phone, running all the code that's necessary to start your operating system. Most bootloaders come locked, meaning you can't flash custom recoveries or ROMs. Unlocking your bootloader doesn't root your phone directly, but it does allow you to root and/or flash custom ROMs if you so desire.
  • Recovery: Your recovery is the software on your phone that lets you make backups, flash ROMs, and perform other system-level tasks. The default recovery on your phone can't do much, but you can flash a custom recovery—like ClockworkMod or TWRP—after you've unlocked your bootloader that will give you much more control over your device. This is often an integral part of the rooting process.
  • Nandroid: From most third-party recovery modules, you can make backups of your phone called nandroid backups. It's essentially a system image of your phone: Everything exactly how it is right now. That way, if you flash something that breaks your phone, you can just flash back to your most recent nandroid backup to return everything to normal. This is different from using an app like Titanium Backup that just backs up apps and/or settings—nandroid backups backup the entire system as one image. Titanium backups are best when switching between ROMs or phones.
  • ADB: ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge, and it's a command line tool for your computer that can communicate with an Android device you've connected to it. It's part of the Android Software Developers Kit (SDK). Many of the root tools you'll find use ADB, whether you're typing the commands yourself or not. Unless the instructions call for installing the SDK and running ADB commands, you won't need to mess with it—you'll just need to know that it's what most of the tools use to root your phone.
  • S-OFF: HTC phones use a feature called Signature Verification in HBOOT, their bootloader. By default, your phone has S-ON, which means it blocks you from flashing radio images—the code that manages your data, Wi-Fi, and GPS connections. Switching your phone to S-OFF lets you flash new radios. Rooting doesn't require S-OFF, but many rooting tools will give you S-OFF in addition to root access, which is nice.
  • RUU, SBF, and OPS: ROM Upgrade Utilities (for HTC phones), System Boot Files (for Motorola phones), and OPS and PIT files (for Samsung phones) are files direct from the manufacturer that change the software on your phone. RUU and SBF files are how the manufacturers deliver your over-the-air upgrades, and modders often post leaked RUU and SBF files for flashing when the updates haven't been released yet. They're also handy when downgrading your phone, if a rooting method isn't available for the newest software version yet. You can flash RUUs right from your HTC phone, but Motorola users will need a Windows program called RSD Lite to flash SBF files, and Samsung users will need a tool called Odin to flash OPS and PIT files (note there is a specific version of Odin for each device).

Can I unroot my phone? Yes. If you decide you don't like being rooted, you can often find instructions on unrooting your phone as well. Usually it involves flashing an RUU, SBF, or something similar to return the phone to truly stock settings.
Is rooting illegal? No. Technically, it once was, but exceptions to the DCMA have made it legal for most phones (but not necessarily tablets). Either way, it's hard to imagine anyone actually enforcing this rule (much like ripping DVDs for your own personal use).

Will rooting void my warranty? Yes. Unlocking your bootloader will void the warranty on your phone, even if your manufacturer provides a way for you to do it. That said, if you need warranty service for a hardware issue, you can sometimes unroot your phone and take it in for service with no one the wiser. However, some phones have a digital "switch" that flips when you unlock your phone that is very difficult or impossible to revert, so do your research before unlocking if you want to preserve your warranty.
Could rooting brick my phone? It's possible, but pretty unlikely. As long as you follow instructions well, you probably won't brick anything (but we're not responsible yadda yadda yadda). Flashing custom kernels and radios is a little riskier than just rooting or flashing ROMs, but again, if you follow directions you should be okay. Keep in mind that bricking means your phone means it won't turn on or function at all—if you're stuck in a boot loop or boot straight to recovery, your phone is not bricked, and it can be fixed.


Will rooting speed up my phone? Not on its own—all rooting does is give you root access. However, it does open up the possibility for other tweaks that can speed up an old phone.

  • Where to Find Rooting Methods and Tools


Luckily, now that you know a thing or two about rooting, you're in a much better position to understand some of the other instructions out there. So, here are a few places you'll find guides, ROMs, and other information about rooting your specific phone.
  • The XDA Developers forums are the number one place to look for information on your phone. This is where all the best hackers and tweakers gather to discuss phones, share links and guides, create rooting tools, and more. Head to the forums, find your device, and poke around the different subforums for your phone. You should find a number of threads that will direct you to information on how to root your phone, what ROMs and kernels are available, and more. And, when in doubt, ask the other users!
  • The Phandroid forums (aka Android Forums) aren't quite as popular as XDA, but they have always done a pretty good job of organizing information on rooting. This is a good place to start. Head to the forum for your device and look for the "All Things Root" subforum.
  • RootzWiki may not be as popular as it once was, but there's still good information to be had on these forums, especially pertaining to new ROMs, kernels, and other things on the development side.
  • The CyanogenMod Wiki: CyanogenMod, one of the most popular ROMs out there, has a fantastic wiki with a ton of information on different devices. Even if you don't plan on flashing CyanogenMod (or any ROM, for that matter), you can often find information on how to root your phone within their device-specific instructions on installing CyanogenMod, so it's worth checking out.
Try any or all of the above sources and see what you can find. Once you've found the forum for your phone, search around for a rooting guide or rooting tool. Make sure it's applicable to your current software version and try it out. If you have any questions, you can ask in the forums—but be sure to read as much as you can before doing so, since your question has probably already been answered elsewhere.

5 Useful Android Tips And Tricks You Should Know

Whether you are new to Android and eager to try out every available option you see on the screen, or familiar with the system, including the annoyances that plague you on a daily basis, tips and tricks to get around a system is always helpful. We are here to help you with that.


 In this post, i am featuring 10 useful Android tips and tricks that may improve your experience while using your Android device. Do note that the steps may vary a little from one Android phone to another due to the differences in the build and the OS version, but if you play around with it, the next step isn’t too far off.


1. Disable App Notifications

Bugged by annoying app notifications that just keep coming? If you don’t know already, these app notifications also drain your phone’s battery. If you want to turn them off, and you are on Jelly Bean 4.1 and above, here’s how:
  1. On any of your unwanted notifications in your notification bar, long press on the notification for a message box to appear.
  2. Tap on App Info > Untick Show Notifications > OK.





2. Disable Mobile Data

Whenever you don’t need to stay connected, disabling the Mobile Data can help keep your smartphone battery from draining too quickly. Turning off mobile data is as easy as:
  1. Going to Settings > Data Usage.
  2. Disable Mobile data by toggling the setting from ON to OFF.



3. Set Mobile Data Limit

Want to keep track of how far your usage is from your monthly mobile data limit? If you have ICS and above, there is a feature which lets you keep track of how much of the quota you have left.
  1. Head over to Settings > Data Usage.
  2. Set your data limit by dragging the orange line to reflect your monthly quota.
  3. Set your data usage cycle based on when your "month" starts and ends, and you’re done.
You will be alerted once you hit the limit you have set. Note that the tracked data usage of your phone may vary slightly than your carrier’s tracking.



4. Add Multiple Google Accounts

You need a Google account to use an Android phone but did you know you can choose to run more than one Google account on your Android device. This is convenient if you use more than one account for several of your Google services. To add multiple Google accounts:
  1. Go to Settings > Add account.
  2. Select Google and setup your New or Existing Google account.
  3. Once added, choose what you want to sync with the account.
Repeat all the steps above if you want to add more accounts.



5. Disable automatic App Updates

Prefer to read through app permissions and manually pick which app updates to adopt? You can, but first you need to disable your automatic app updates. Here are the steps:
  1. Open Play Store and head over to Settings.
  2. Tap on Auto-update apps.
  3. Choose Do not auto-update apps.
If you want to enable the auto updates, follow the same path and choose Auto-update apps at any time or via Wi-Fi (available for certain Android devices only).






Security And Hacking Apps For Android Devices



Now days, smartphones and tablets are most the popular gadgets. If we see recent stats, global PC sale has also been decreasing for the past few months. The reason behind this is that people utilize tablets for most of their work. And there is no need to explain that Android is ruling global smartphone and tablet markets. Android is most popular mobile OS with more than 60% market share.


So, companies are now focusing on bringing their software as a mobile app for Android. These apps include office apps, photo editing apps, instant messaging apps and penetration testing apps. If you have an Android smartphone, you can start your next penetration testing project from your Android phone. There are few android apps that can turn your Android device into a hacking device. Although, these apps have so many limitations and can only be used for few specific tasks. You can never get the same experience as you get with your PC. But smaller jobs can be performed. Apps for penetration testers are not available widely, but hackers can enjoy this platform in a better way. There are many Wi-Fi hacking and sniffing apps available.
As we already said that Android is ruling smartphone and tablet markets, developers are also creating more apps for Android devices. This is the reason why the Android market has millions of apps. Like websites, apps also need penetration testing to check for various vulnerabilities. Security testing for Android apps will need to have a penetration testing environment on your Android device.


Note:

  1. These apps are not for beginners because expertise is needed on the Android platform.
  2. Most of the apps work on Rooted Android devices. So root your Android device first. If you are not sure how to do it, learn how to by, reading one of the many sites available to help with this process.
  3. You will lose your device’s warranty if you root it, so think twice before proceeding.
  4. These apps can also harm your Android device. So please try these apps at your own risk.
In this detailed post, we will see various apps for web application penetration testing, network penetration testing, sniffing, networking hacking and Android apps penetration testing.

Android apps for Penetration testing


1. dSploit

dSploit is a nice Android network penetration testing suit. It comes with all-in-one network analysis capabilities. Like most of the other penetration testing tools, it also comes for free. So, you can download and use this app on your Android device and perform network security testing. It has various pre-complied modules to use. The app is designed to be very fast, handy and easy to use, it’s just point and click.
dSploit supports all Android devices running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread or higher, and you also need to root your device. If you are newbie, we will never recommend you to use the app if you don’t know how to root your Android device. After rooting your device, you need to install BusyBox Installer. Download BusyBox from Google Play Store: 
  Download It Here

These are the available modules in the app.
  1. RouterPWN
  2. Trace
  3. Port Scanner
  4. Inspector
  5. Vulnerability Finder
  6. Login Cracker
  7. Packet Forger
  8. MITM
 

2. Network Spoofer

Network Spoofer is another nice app that lets you change the website on other people’s computer from your Android phone. Download the Network Spoofer app and then log onto the Wi-Fi network. Choose a spoof to use with the app then tap on start. This app is considered as a malicious hacking tool by network administrators. So, don’t try on unauthorized networks. This is not a penetration testing app. It’s just to demonstrate how vulnerable the home network is.

Download this app from sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/netspoof/ 

 

3. DroidSheep [Root]

DroidSheep is a session hijacking tool for Android devices. This is an app for security analysis in wireless networks. It can capture Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, Gmail or other website accounts easily. You can hijack any active web account on your network with just a tap by using the DroidSheep app. It can hijack any web account.
This app demonstrates the harm of using any public Wi-Fi.

 Download This App Here.

4. FaceNiff

FaceNiff is another nice sniffing app for Android devices. It requires a rooted Android device. It can sniff and intercept the web sessions over the Wi-Fi. This app is similar to DroidSheep, added earlier in the post. You can also say Firesheep for Android devices. Use of this app may be illegal in your area. So, use it wisely.

Download This App Here. 


5. Andosid

AnDOSid is another nice application that can be used to perform DOS attacks from Android mobile phones. It is like LOIC tool for desktop. In the app, you can set target URL, payload size and time difference between two requests. After that click on big GO button to launch DOS attack on a website. It will start flooding target URL with fake request. Use this app if you have a powerful device. Avoid if you have low cost entry level device.

6. Wifi Analyzer

Turns your android phone into a Wi-Fi analyzer!!
Shows the Wi-Fi channels around you. Helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router. 

 Download It Here


7. WifiKill

WiFiKill is pretty simple: it scans your network for connected devices and gives the option to individually kill their network connectivity. Want to take out the entire network in one go? Not a problem -- tick the "all" box and the network will be completely empty in a matter of seconds. To re-enable connectivity for any device, simply uncheck the box next to its name.

After spending a couple of minutes with the app, I can confirm that it works as advertised. My laptop and tablet were both connected to the network, but neither had access to the internet.
While this app could be useful in some situations, I'm not going to ignore the fact that it could also be used with malicious intent. I think one of the Market comments said it best: "With great power, comes great responsibility." So, if you choose to install this, do us all a favor and don't be a jackass.

How To Ean 100$ A Day With 77 Ways

If you’ve been on the internet for more than a few hours, you’ve likely seen at least one
advertisement teaching you how to make thousands of dollars a minute, working from your underwear, in the comfort of your own home.


These ads are so ridiculously popular that if you’re like most people, you start doubting
whether it really IS possible to make money online.
The truth is, it IS possible. It might be hard to make thousands of dollars a minute from
the get-go (or at all ), but there are certainly ways you can make an extra $100 a day
working from home.

In this report, I am going to share 77 different ways in which you can create more income.
I have tried to cover all types of methods for all different personality and skill
types, and I am confident that you’ll be able to find at least a few that sound good to
you.

While some of them require more work than others, please know that you can mix and
match. For example, maybe you can do a few hours of forum moderation at $10 an hour
for $30, and then make up the extra $70 doing something else. The key is to have fun
and do whatever you enjoy.
I have given an overview of each idea, and then fleshed them all out a little bit so you
could get started on whatever you like, immediately.
It is my sincere hope that you get a lot out of this report, and that you take action and
start making money!
The most important part of the equation is the action. In order to reach your goals, you
need 4 things. First you need the goal, and if you've decided that you want to make an
extra $100 a day online, that's step 1.
Then you need a plan. I've included 77 mini plans in here. They're short, just enough
to give you an idea, so that you can decide if they're for you or not.
Third, you need knowledge. Many of the plans are pretty easy if you think about it, but
some of them require special skills, like for example Photoshop skills, proficiency with
HTML, or the ability to install a WordPress blog. All these skills can be learned, if you
put your mind to it, but this book isn't the instruction manual.
And lastly, and most important, you need to take action. There's no way you're going to
make $100 a day without getting out there and doing what it takes on a consistent basis.
So you'll have to get to work.



One more thing... there's nothing that says that $100 a day is the limit to your income
potential with many of these plans. For example, I have friends that have started out by
writing articles for others, and they were getting paid around a penny a word (like $4.00
to write a 400 word article). 

After a while, when they started improving their quality, their
customers came back, and spread the word, and they were able to raise their rates.
They also were able to go from writing articles to writing eBooks for others, then writing
eBooks for themselves, then they broke into copywriting (writing sales pages for themselves
and others), and now they make thousands of dollars a day doing that.
There are other plans inside this report that have similar or greater potential, but again,
you need to get started, acquire the skills and get better, and that requires action.

As you start working on any of the plans, you'll find that when you start to make money,
you also start getting bored with some of the mundane parts of the plan. That's when I
suggest you consider determining the parts of your activities that are making you the
most profit per hour, and if there are other tasks that slow you down, consider outsourcing
those activities. In each of the plans, I've tried to note things that can be done very
cheaply by others, and give you appropriate links to those sites.
Of course, when you're just starting, do it yourself, develop the skill, then when you've
got some money in the bank to invest, you can start building a team to leverage it all
and really explode your earnings.
