Install Windows 8 without cd-key / activation code

Hi ! This time Microsoft has launched Windows 8, A new metro look for the new upcoming PC / devices.
Specially designed for touch screen devices. Microsoft provided BETA and Release Candidates versions for public. Everybody could download, test and feel WINDOWS 8. But now WINDOWS 8 is released officially as RETAIL and PRO versions.

Now WINDOWS 8 can be purchased from the official site. But now you must have to enter the Activation Code or Key to install Windows 8 on your machine. But I was able to find out a small workaround using which anybody can install WINDOWS 8 without entering the KEY during installation process. You can simply skip entering the KEY for WINDOWS 8.

For this, you have to add a new file to your installation media. Just open NOTEPAD. Type the following as it is:

[EditionID]

[Channel]
Retail

[VL]
0

Save this file as “ei.cfg” and save it into SOURCES folder of windows 8 setup media. Then you can create a bootable DVD or USB using UltraISO or IMGBURN.

jailbreak iphone without cydia

Yes, you read it correct. It is possible to jailbreak your phone without cydia. I wanted to jailbreak my iphone  and never wanted to install Cydia because Cydia takes space on iphone which may create problem for those who have 8GB iphone. Generally after jailbreak iOS 5.1.1, 8gb iphone gives error of “DISK SPACE Full”. To avoid this error, I jailbroke my iphone without installing Cydia. I searched a lot on internet, but there was no solution. So, I thought of an experiment. I downloaded latest Redsn0w and during Jailbreak, I unchecked the option “install Cydia”. and That’s it. My iphone was jailbroken. But now the problems I faced were 1. I was not able to install any .deb file 2. I was not able to install .ipa file.

If you need to access the file system of iphone only, then jailbreaking can be useful. Otherwise, to install .deb file, you need Cydia and to install IPA files, you need AppSynce which is again a .deb file.
Jailbreaking without Cydia is possible, but without Cydia, you won’t be able to do much with your jailbroken iphone.

Dual Boot Installation Video of Blckbuntu with Windows 7

Hi Guys ! This video tutorial shows the way to prepare dual boot system for Blackbuntu and Windows 7. I have used Oracle Virtual Box. If you implement the same concept on your physical machine, there will be hardly any difference.

Regarding installation of Balckbuntu, I don’t think it is well-developed as when we start the installation, it gives a lot of errors, takes too much time for installation in comparison to actual Ubuntu Installation. It took 45 minutes to install on machice core 2 duo machine with 1GB RAM and 40GB hard drive.

You need atleast 30 GB space of hard disk to install Blackbuntu.
Any comments are always welcomed.

Installing Android on iPhone

Its really amazing to change the default operating system of iPhone i.e. iOS. I tried it my self on my iPhone. And now I will share the way I did it.

My iPhone was having iOS 5.1.1 which is the latest one. So, first thing I had to do is to downgrade the operating system of iPhone to iOS 4.1.
Actually the software pack available to install Android on iPhone supports upto iOS 4.1, 4.2. That is why I had to downgrade the iOS. It was very tedious task for me as I was doing it for the first time.
You can also find the steps to downgrade very easily using Google. Its an art to downgrade iOS.

After downgrading you must need to jailbreak your iphone means you to get rid of all the restrictions imposed by Apple for your iPhone. Its not difficult to jailbreak your iphone. Many programs are available on the internet and the best part is all of them are free. Just use google the best software to suit your iphone model and ios version. Do not pay anything to your mobile vendors to jailbreak your iphone.

After Jailbreaking, you have to use Cydia Program. Jailbreaking moves around Cydia. It is similar to AppStore by Apple. Search Cydia for Bootlace. You have to install it on your iphone. In case you can not find Bootlace in Cydia. Then you have to add repository manually. In order to do this, you’ll need to launch Cydia from the homescreen, tap on the Manage button, select Sources, then tap Edit, then Add. The repository you’ll need to add is repo.neonkoala.co.uk. Tap Add Source, let Cydia work its magic, and then tap on your newly added repository and install Bootlace.

Then exit Cydia. Bootlace icon will be available on HomeScreen. launch Bootlace. If Bootlace isn’t on your homescreen after you exitCydia, restart your iPhone and it should be there. Then just launch Bootlace, and let it download and patch the kernel. When it’s done, tap on Reboot and wait for your phone to reboot.

Once your iphone is rebooted. Now you again have to launch Bootlace. Launch Bootlace again, tap the OpeniBoot button, and tap Install, then Continue. OpeniBoot will download and install.

When your OpeniBoot is installed. tap the iDroid button, tap Install, OK, and then wait. iDroid—which is essentially the Android OS customized for your iPhone—will download and install. This will take a while, so be patient. Make sure during download process, your iphone shouldn’t get switched off. If required, connect charger to your iphone.

After downloading is completed, Android will be installed on your iphone. To start using Android, you have to launch Bootlace again. launch Bootlace and you will see a new option QuickBoot. Tap on QuickBoot. It will reboot your iphone into Android. Now you can play with Android.

Only problem I found with Android was power management. It completely drained out the 100% battery in just 2 hours. So its just fun to install Android on iphone but practically it can be used on regular basis.

To remove android, I connected iphone to itunes, I restored the iphone using itunes. Restoring from itunes, will remove Android completely and Jailbreak also and will bring you to actual iOS which is not Jailbroken.

Secure your privacy while using iPhone and Android Apps

Today everyone around us is fan of touchscreen mobile phones. Everybody wants to buy a touchscreen phone whether its Android phone or Apple Iphone. In last few years these 2 big sharks have removed all other mobile technologies from the market. Apple’s phone is quite popular now along with Samsung phones. Android phones are becoming cheaper and cheaper day by day. Lots of free applications are available for both Android phones and Apple iPhones. In youth, apps specially related to free sms and callings are quite popular. These apps offers most of the times Free SMS or Free Calling features where on both sides same application is installed. And even offer to check which of your friends have installed the same app by accessing your phone book. Do you know how really these apps works?

These kinds of apps which offer you search your friends by accessing your phone book, actually these apps upload your complete contacts data to their servers, where they compare the data and let you know the results. Knowingly or unknowingly consumers are uploading the contacts to remote servers which uses the  data for commercial purposes and who knows how secure these servers are. Your contact data can be used for telemarketing and surveys which may or may not create problems. I came across an application which accesses your phone book , upload the phone book to their server and then make the contact public on their servers. Anybody can search for a mobile number or Name in specific location. Now think of the situation, your phone may have contacts of mothers, sisters, girl friends or other friends. Some body can search their contact details, because you have installed that app which uploads the phone book to internet.
So beware of such applications. Install and use them very carefully. Do not allow the applications to access phone’s data without thinking. None of the companies neither Mobile Company (apple, samsung etc.) nor operating system company (apple, google etc) will take responsibility of privacy breach.
