CyanogenMod - Installation with Google Apps

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,...

HTC Wildfire - Wildpuzzle - Buggyyyy

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...

Firefox Android Market Emulator

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...

HTC Wildfire - Display ,Touch Sensor and Accelerometer

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...

HTC Wildfire

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 ...

BSNL Online rechardge - Headache?

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

Smooth Criminal

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? So, Annie Are You OK Are You OK, Annie Annie Are You OK? So, Annie Are You OK Are You OK, Annie Annie Are You OK? So, Annie Are You OK? Are You OK, Annie? Annie Are You OK? So, Annie Are You Ok, Are You Ok, Annie? Annie Are You OK? Will You Tell Us That You're OK? There's A Sign In T...
