Finally i installed CyanogenMod in my HTC Wildfire. The one thing that was putting me away from CyanogenMod is the lack of HTC Sense. But finally, i convinced myself to get rid of HTC Sense. Now , i can see the HTC only when the phone boots. After that, there is not trace of HTC in my mobile. Cyanogen completely overrides HTC applications and features. Quick Installation Guide Am not going to give a step by step instructions. Assuming you have installed a custom ROM before. Store the ROM file(.Zip. Don't do smart work of Extracting it :p) in your SD Card (Sorry! cant give link..Google It!) Reboot in recovery mode. Wipe and Reset Factory Settings (Important , else your Installation will be BUGGY!!!!) Take a nandroid back up(I never do it :p) Install From Zip Reboot the System. Done!!! Many sources in the Internet say, after the first time installation , booting takes around 5 - 8 minutes. Thats really a false statement. Whether its first time or you are restarting it the 100th time,...

Got a new HTC Wildfire 4 months back. Was ok with the Android Eclair. Just traversed to the web tree and heard about Wildpuzzle. Great. why should not i try it, i thought. it took around half an hour to flash the mobile completely and install Wildpuzzle. The first time , the phone booted , it was jaw dropping. Want to know what made me to drop my jaw.... 1. Phone booted just like PC with BIOS options.(really surprise). 2. ClockMod recovery was added for instant backup and recovery 3. UI was fully changed with new icons. 4. Market with access to all Apps 5. New Apps pre-istalled , Dropbox caught my eyes. 6. LIVE WALLPAPER desperately wanted to have in an Android mobile. 7. Extensive and expanded options in Wireless Menu including Portable Wi-Fi 8. Launcher Pro Pre-Installed. 9. Network indicator in the Notification area. What else is need for a professional user. Put the phone in the pocket and marched towards my office. My hands were itching to explore the new Wildpuzzle. Started ge...

Wait! Listen before. Even am one among you people who is in search of Android Market emulator for a browser(yet to find one).I just recollect the past, i started using the word emulator for WAP websites which will work only in mobiles. Now almost all browsers can open WAP sites. Now its android market. At first site, i though it is just a normal website.But then realized that the protocol is different. Its market:// Interesting is it not? None of the browser can understand this protocol. But finally i got a clue that this is similar to irc (Internet relay chat), which bears a protocol irc://. And firefox can open it very well using some extensions like mirc, chatzilla. So , ultimately an extension may come in the (near) future to open android market in firefox. The current emulator for Android provided by google is a bit tedious to work with. Why shall not we have a simple protocol reader to open this special group of website. I started working on it!. Interested??? Infected with Haris...

Just went through the online reviews before buying HTC Wildfire to see everyone cursing the display that "Its Pathetic". That is because of the resolution. The screen is large enough( 3.2" ) to show everything, but the resolution is just 320 x 240 pixels. But this is in no way a set back. Just optimize the home screens and other areas as you want ,to bring out the best out of it. I even felt that, the OSK (On Screen keyboard) occupies , half of the screen when text-ing (new word huh! i mean messaging), but now i got used with it and even in many other phones which have higher resolutions the OSK will definitely dominate. Touch Sensor The first thing i want to tell is there is no irritating double tap , that we see in mobiles like Nokia 5800 .The touch sensor is awesome and some times over sensitive. Whenever i take a snap of something and hand over the device to some one, they touch some part of screen while receiving it and finally they complaint that they see a diff...

Back to world of blogging after a long time.Now let me tell about my new HTC Wildfire powered by Android 2.1 Eclair. Five days since i bought my mobile , my left palm lost its view as it is covered by my phone now. Went in to each and every menu to bring out the real facts about HTC. It might be interesting to say, it was a minute decision to buy HTC Wildfire after waiting for C6 which is going to be released soon (is it?? :p). If you are already an android user, stop dreaming much about this article as this is for traditional Symbian users(Nokia series 60 mobiles). Because, for people who used Nokia from the day they started using mobiles, HTC is going to give real new experience. The interface is entirely different from the phones that i have seen before(may be for a first time HTC user). The Sleek design , with metal finish is really pleasure have it in our hand. Enough for now. Next set of article will show you the dissection of HTC Wildfire powered by Android 2.1 Eclair. Infected ...

The Image could speak much more than the words that are going to come now. A short report of my transaction in BSNL Recharge/Top up portal. I was topping up my mobile for the past one year through online portal. But till now , of my 14 transactions , just 5 of them hit success. All the other either in "Awaiting status from bank" or "Refund Initiated". But you can still see, the status remained unchanged for the transaction took place in 2009. Am dont know to whom to blame, because BSNL is government owned and the bank i used for the transaction is SBI. Whom to blame??? Sole condolence for all BSNL Users :( Infected with Harish Syndrome

Even those who hate Michael Jacskson to the core, will beat their legs against the ground to match this song's rhythm. Still wonder how this song has been left unnoticed by south indian music directors :p. First class music, brilliant choreography ofcourse, the favorite Michael Jackson's woo! woo! sounds. The lyrics is really classic. It can tell you about the song as a story. One of the best ever songs by MJ. Here goes the Lyrics: As He Came Into The Window It Was The Sound Of A Crescendo He Came Into Her Apartment He Left The Bloodstains On The Carpet She Ran Underneath The Table He Could See She Was Unable So She Ran Into The Bedroom She Was Struck Down, It Was Her Doom Annie Are You OK?

Creating a game server in Garena is not a big task. Download Garena from their website. If you are already a member in garena, then sign in or you can register there for free. After you login, press the Game tab and select the game you would like to play. Let us consider counter strike for an instance. Click counter strike 1.6 Now selecting the room is important. Entering a different country's room is not advisable, because when you start a server in an alien country, there is more possibility for the gamers from their country to join your server. Since distance is a big factor, the latency will definitely be high for the players coming to your server. So unnecessarily , you need to bear the name "NOOB SERVER" or "NOOB HOST". So enter your own country room. In the bottom right corner of the garena room window, there will be a huge button called "Start Game", click that to start the game If you have not configured your game executable before, then it w...

Relax. Dont Ctrl + F ,i mean search for your favorite mobile in this article. Am just here to tell that , this is one of the worst time ever. No all-rounder mobiles have been launched. None of the mobiles are that much impressive. Both Multimedia as well as business mobiles did not hit the market strongly. Nokia : Nokia released good number of multimedia mobiles this season. Nokia delivered the best audio quality Infected with Harish Syndrome

iPhone, a status symbol. Even though iPhone lags behind all other phones in features, it should be given double credits for its' audio quality. iPhone would deliver a good piece of audio even in mediocre headphones, such that many testers consider iPhone audio curve as a benchmark to compare the audio quality of other phones. While testing the mobiles, the comparison of iPhone and an another phone, the another phone does not have any audio curve. The testers then realized that, the audio curve of both iPhone and the other phone matched and appeared together. The phone is none other than Nokia 5130 XpressMusic, the successor of Nokia 5220 XpressMusic. This might sound a little different but its true. Nokia delivers top notch audio quality. The audio playback is 24 hours, says Nokia(through headphones). If you are a music freak, then why go for a 30K mobile, when you can get the same in just 5K. Nokia finally substantiates their TM - XpressMusic.

Nokia E Series , is a series of business class mobiles. These mobile have push mail feature (like in blackberry). So you need not fetch your mail from your regular inbox. Now coming to E63. This season , i had an idea to buy a mobile. Enough with Nokia 5220 XpressMusic(and its bugs :p) , i thought. Just did a research for around 15 days and planned to get rid of it. Initially, this mobile was promising. Nokia also promoted this mobile on their website (you can see Nokia E 63 @ 9 only/- in their home page) The features are very much impressive. But on deep research , it has been reveled that, all features have their critical drawback. Drawbacks : Small Screen. Just twist Nokia 5220 to landscape mode. That is how the screen will look like. Processing speed is decent, but due to the small screen, documents like PDF take time to adjust to the screen. Full Qwerty Keypad, but the number pads are very small and they are in between alpha-num keys. 2 M Pixel camera, but performance is very bad...

This is a real treat for all download freaks (also for lunatics like me). Am in BSNL UL 750 plan. The max speed is 256 kbps (32 kBps). Recently am hitting 50+ kBps speed while downloading. As i was using a download accelerator, i thought its quite natural. But , i was wrong. It got reflected in my torrent download as well (while download ubuntu). Made a quick Google about this and surprised to see people already got in to this thing in forums. Many people , who are in UL 900 plan say they get a speed around 200-200 kBps. Positively, these speeds are not oscillating widely. Between 47-53 kBps which is far ahead of 32 kBps.If this is not by mistake, then its going to be a real fun for all internet users and going to be a real challenge for all BSNL users.

Operating System(OS) is the heart of a computer.The very first software component that has to be installed in a system is the OS. Basic users will have only one OS in their system, obviously Windows. But advanced users like developers, programmers and other techs will have more than one OS running ,to delegate their work. Am not going to talk about either of them. This is all about people who are in the transition between a Basic User and Advance User. This first time, when you have your Windows CD/DVD(Original OfCourse!! :p) in your left hand and an Ubuntu Linux CD in your right hand, you are exactly in the entrance of a cross road, dont know which path to take.There will be a little fear about your documents because bad installation of a strange operating system might sweep your entire hard disk. Some people will have a regular back up practice, but some people (like me :p) will start looking for a media in their messy desk draw to have a back up, just before they start. Any how...

If you did not scratch your hard disk against the wall, floor , or pinch it with sharp needle or any hard materials, i have a solution to recover the bad sectors in your hard disk. The reason for bad sectors can be cold booting, or abrupt restarting during writting in to the hard disk, which is not avoidable especially in india. Dont worry . The solution is very simple. Apparatus required: 1. Windows XP Cd 2. Nothing else. Elevators: 1. Insert Windows XP CD in to your CD ROM 2.Restart your PC and boot from CD ROM 3. Let the Setup load and you will see a menu with three options as (Dont care) Press R to repair windows using recovery console(something like that). Exit 4. Press 'r' to select the second option and see the console. 5. Now type DISKPART and press ENTER(Here after i wont repeat the command "Press Enter") 6. You will see your disk partion information (Yes! Exactly like windows 98). 7. Create a partion of size = size o...

This is really glad. This week, i was awarded the Top Contributor status in Yahoo answers. I expected this some time later but it has come very soon. Getting best answers is like a piece of cake if you follow right procedure. I already made a clear cut idea about making best answers in Yahoo Answers . I think that would suffice. I have some more tricks but i would reveal it later. The other way that i found will really make you to get best answers effectively. But still , am not refraining from the path "Quality of Answers". It is always important. There are people who report abuse for no reasons and am sure they have multiple accounts (like us ...:p). So keep going. Get on top of yahoo answers.

The common problem over the internet. You register for free web hosting at 000webs. And you wait for the confirmation email from them to start with your website. But you did not see any response for months and even years in my case. The ultimate reason is, 000webs silently rejects applications from countries like India and other country. The support person says, they face big problem from users from such countries. They do not want to hurt the customers and at the same time, they do not want to get in to trouble. So at the time of registration, they track your IP and locate you country. By the end of registration, you will get a message "Pending Approval".Actually that is a false message from 000webs. There is such workflow called "Approval" in 000webs. You can log in to your account right away after you complete the registration. Now the bottle neck is your country. The only way to override your country is , using a proxy. Try some online proxy, preferably US and p...

Shocker again.!!! I forgot one of my yahoo email ids. I managed to just recollect the username, but i was not much sure with the extension whether it is yahoo.com or yahoo.co.in. So i logged in to my G account and sent a mail to both the domains. Gmail showed mailer demon for one of the domain extensions. i.e co.in. So , the email id must be a .com. I logged into my Yahoo account just check the mail which is sent from Gmail (ofcourse there is no big reason). I did not find any mails from my gmail id.As usual , my spam folder was flooded with 600+ emails. Why should i have a glance at the SPAM folder before deleting it, I thought. So clicked the SPAM link. OMG!!!! The mail is in Spam folder. Am very sure that, these two email Ids never talked to each other and i never marked SPAM for that ID. What actually Happened?

Quick way to get Best Answers: Watching your Answers: Before reading this, please understand. Am not going to tell any shortcut or a illegitimate way to get best answers soon. Am just underlining the important fact that everyone has a big probability to forget. Am talking out voting.Yahoo answers has a funny visible black hole. Its nothing but, you can vote for your own answers.Statistics says, most of the best answers are selected by voting. As the asker spends less time selecting the best answer. So if you answer a question in yahoo answer, be sure to watch the question frequently. Many answers win best answer award with just one vote.But the single vote worth ten points. Its not only important to answer a question sincerely. If your answer deserves best answer award you will get it. If not, its not a sin to push it. Question Selection: Question selection is an important thing. There are two ways of using Yahoo answers. 1. Driving traffic to your website 2. Increase Yahoo answers poi...

AMD is back. This is not just an high end but a gigantic end graphics card. The features are really jaw dropping. A complete gaming rig should have this GPU running. The hardware configuration is 512-bit bus Core Clock 725 MHz Memory Clock 1000 Mhz Memory 1 GB DDR5 (OMG!!!!) 6-8 Pin Connection configuration The notable feature is, it is not very much big and bulky like nVidia 8800 which accommodates a full cabinet. This ATI Radeon 5970 is very slim as it would look like a lower end graphics card.Heating is a problem, as it could not keep itself very cool with it's single fan cooling system. This fan is not sufficient enough to suppress the heating effect, as it is a closed design card. The performance is better than other dual GPU nVidia cards. Now harden you heart. The cost of this worthy card is Rs.42,000. The price substantiates it's DirectX 11 compatibility ,though they are no DirectX 11 compatible games available now. Infected with Harish Syndrome

HTC Touch 2, an impressive mobile with a gun metal finish on a plastic design, makes it look more elegant and stylish. For people who worry about WindowsMo 6.5 can feel a bit relieved.The TouchFLO UI argumentation will make you to forget everything. The phone is faster than other HTC mobiles and with easy click and go shortcuts. But again, a windows mobile. The arrangement of GUI compenents are not up to the mark. So you need some time to get accustomed with it. The tough screen looks very attractive, but it is not responsive to even hard fingers. The keys around the screen also carry a little work. Camera is mediocre and light adjustment is a problem again(Forget night shootings). There are loads of applications like facebook, Youtube and other media sharing applications. An inbuilt GPS might pull some eyes. The price in India is around Rs.24,500 (Breath taking....) Infected with Harish Syndrome

The stunning new Blackberry 8520 curve hits the market. The features are amazing. A typical blackberry of course.Very slim, attractive and a simplified design. This latest blackberry model, comes with dedicated music keys like in XpressMusic (am not comparing !!!) with play, skip, rewind etc.So you are not away from your favorite music with this curve in hand. The trackpad feature gives you the feeling of a Laptop to scroll and play around the menu. Really cool. Share your music, videos, photos and other multimedia contents instantly with the Share Media feature. Additionally, Apple computer support has been given.So synchronizing and merging contacts with your Mac system is just a piece of cake. All these facilities will not come cheap. It costs around 14000 INR. Prices are subjected to fluctuate, especially in India. Infected with Harish Syndrome

Blackberry - A kind of status symbol. With all essential features, blackberry possess an exclusive PUSH EMAIL feature. Push email is similar to an always on Internet connection. The mail server is always on. So when you get a mail, it is shown in at once.Unlike other services, i which all mails go to the corresponding inbox and from there the email is fetched by the service provider and displayed in the phone. Blackberry supported mobiles are costly and they deserve it for their extensive features. Initially only a few service providers provided blackberry service. But now a days, companies like BSNL , Vodafone and Airtel too provide blackberry services. The service is also a bit costly. Blackberry mobiles are best suitable for business people, who can spend time, starting up a PC or Laptop, open a browser and login to their mail account.Apart from this, the phones behaves as other normal multimedia phones.

Zune HD , an apparent competition for Apple iPhone from Microsoft.A sturdy, royal looking phone with touch. The phone is absolutely slim. The rear body is made of standard aluminum and the front body is made of up touchy plastic. The most notable feature of this mobile is, the 3.5 inch OLED screen. The screen is pretty much big and gives a good space for videos. The videos are really crispy,no lag and the videos does not pixelate.Usually OLED display screens are mediocre and the performance is not much appreciated. But this phone is really a feast to eyes.

Common problem for all maven users. Configuration is not valid '/home/roharme/Addition/addition/mda/src/main/config/andromda.xml If you are using Linux such as UBUNTU , this problem is common. In windows, this never happens as windows follows drive letter format. So the location of file is always definite.But in ubuntu, there is no drive letter. It follows the hierarchy of home -> [user] folder structure.This convention appears ambiguous to maven while replacing the location string in pom.xml file. The solution for the problem is 1. Locate the file [project]/mda/pom.xml 2. Open the pom.xml file 3. Find the line file:${project.build.sourceDirectory}/addition.xmi 4. Replace the string ${project.build.sourceDirectory} by ${pom.basedir}/src/main/uml/ 5. Save the file. 6. Now proceed with mvn install. It should work fine. Infected with Harish Syndrome

Am going to tell you a new way of promoting your website through your email ID. I dont know how many of you noticed this in gmail. Gmail is always ambiguous. In the beginning , Yahoo does not support dot in the username. Only gmail allowed users to create email ids with a dot in it like firstname.secondname@gmail.com . Now you can create such ids in yahoo , as they now support dots.But they are too late. GMAIL has gone a little deeper. Now you can create a gmail ID with more than one dots. This is normal for some people. But think if you have a website running, you can create an gmail ID with the same name as your website like This acts as an advertisement. If you use this id in your transaction, atleast one among the ten will check your website driving you some traffic. How is it?? Infected with Harish Syndrome

Watermarking is a way of making any content , propertied. Mostly images are watermarked with the company name , website name etc. There is a special way of watermarking an image. There is no point of making a watermark in the corner of an image. It can cropped with just a image editing tool. The watermark must exactly slide into the main part of the image. At the same time, watermarks should not block or make the image appear bad. This can be achieved by the transparency factor. With Adobe(TM) photoshop, you can achieve it like a piece of cake.

I would call this as my dream mobile. I liked this atonce i saw it. Tremendous design. Nokia N900 has been releases in August 2010. An expensive , worth buying mobile. Before going in to the specifications, the appearance itself it provoking.High quality frame which is not fingerprint prone. Extra widescreen display and controls with tactile full qwerty keyboard.
