Glaxy Note 5



The Samsung Galaxy Note series started with a controversy: that "phablet" debate, and the Note prevailed. Now there's a hint of controversy in the air thanks to a major redesign that matches the Samsung Galaxy S6. Yes, it's perhaps the first gorgeous Note Android smartphone, but as with the S6, that beauty comes at a price. In return for a stunning and compact design executed in Gorilla Glass 4 and metal, you'll give up the removable battery and microSD card slot. For power users, that might seem like heresy, and Note folks tend to be power users. Why? The Galaxy Note is more pocket computer than phone thanks to its huge 5.7" QHD display, S Pen and fast CPU. But once you see the Note 5 in photos and in person, I think you'll want one.

Samsung's updated fingerprint scanner is here, and it works just as well as the iPhone 6's scanner. You'll rest your finger on the mechanical home button to use it (no need to swipe your finger as with the Note 4). Samsung Pay is coming soon, the company's Apple Pay competitor that uses magnetic secure transmission rather than NFC for mobile point of sale payments. Gone are the IR blaster and AV remote control, but the heart rate scanner under the LED flash and S Health are here.

Design and Ergonomics

The Galaxy Note 5 looks like a larger version of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge mixed together. The front face looks like the standard S6 while the back sides are curved, mirroring the Edge's front face. Samsung reduced the side bezels to make the Note 5 narrower--it's easier to hold and the curves feel good in the hand. That said, the ultra-thin bezels invite accidental screen input, at least if your hands are large enough to wrap around the sides. The phone's look is stunning and the S6 design transfers nicely to the bigger chassis. The phone is available in black or white glass (gold is an option overseas) with an aluminum frame on the sides. The metal isn't slippery but glass is, so beware dropping it, particularly when pushing on the new spring-loaded S Pen.



The standard micro USB port, 3.5mm audio jack and speaker are on the bottom edge, and this is the loudest and fullest Note speaker we've heard yet. It can't compete with HTC BoomSound stereo speakers, but volume is more than adequate. Volume controls are on the left and the power button is on the upper right. There's a nano SIM card slot up top but no SD card slot. The unibody design means there's no removable back cover and thus no removable battery. The phone supports Qi wireless charging out of the box--there's no need to buy a special back, though you will need a wireless charger to use that feature.

Horsepower and Performance

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 runs Android 5.1 Lollipop with Samsung's TouchWiz software on the same Exynos 7420 2.1 GHz octa-core 64 bit CPU as the Galaxy S6 family. That's fine with us since the Note 5, Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and S6 Edge+ are some of the fastest smartphones on the market. Unsurprisingly, the Note 5 benchmarks similarly to those phones, and even better it doesn't feel the least bit laggy. That's high praise since Samsung's TouchWiz overlay, lightened though it is, still adds quite a bit of overhead.

The phone is available with 32 or 64 gigs of fast UFS 2.0 flash storage and as mentioned there's no SD card slot. I know some of you would like to see a 128 gig version since you can't use a microSD card, and I'd have loved that too (I'd love an SD card slot even more!). Given the high retail price of the 64 gig model (~$800), I suspect Samsung thought a 128 gig would be more expensive than the market would bear.

Display

Fantastic! The 5.7" QHD 2560 x 1440 Super AMOLED display is one of the best if not the best currently available on the market. It vastly surpasses the sRGB color gamut and is the brightest Note display yet. This is the first Note where I can see the display easily outdoors in the bright Texas summer sun. As per usual for Samsung's higher end Galaxy models, you can choose from several color presets. The default is adaptive display mode that alters various colors' saturation, brightness and contrast to suit the content being displayed. There's a %100 sRGB mode for those who don't like those Super AMOLED intense colors that are pretty but unnatural. The display has relatively low reflectance (as glossy touch screens go), so glare isn't maddening. Of course, if you don't mind carrying a large phone, your reward is a huge screen for watching movies, viewing photos and it acts as an immense viewfinder for the camera.



Calling and Data

Samsung's high end Galaxy models often have superb voice quality. We have AT&T and Verizon Wireless models in for review, and the AT&T model's voice quality is impeccable while the Verizon version sounded good but not great. We'll chalk that up to differences in coverage here in the Dallas metroplex where AT&T and T-Mobile have the strongest coverage. The phone's earpiece is quite loud and there's an "extra volume" on-screen button when in call that really boosts earpiece volume.

The phone has 4G LTE and it uses a Shannon wireless modem (geek trivia). Data speeds are excellent and honestly we rarely see significant variance between coeval phones marketed by a given carrier on that carrier's network. The Note 5 supports HD Voice and WiFi calling (WiFi calling is a carrier-dependent feature).

Cameras

Samsung uses the same excellent 16MP rear and 5MP wide angle front cameras as on the Galaxy S6 models. They've tweaked it a bit, and the result is one of the best camera phones on the market. The extremely large and colorful viewfinder is a treat, and photos look that much better when you view them in Gallery or Photos. The camera uses Samsung's usual UI that we actually like: there are a plethora of features, manual settings and effects but somehow the interface isn't cluttered or confusing. You can direct record video to YouTube, use auto HDR, take photos while also recording video and there's a 4K video mode. The camera has OIS (optical image stabilization) to ameliorate the shaky hand dilemma, though it won't help with jumpy or fidgety subjects (the camera is stabilized, not the world around it). The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + give the LG G4 serious competition and surpass the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus for photo and video quality.



The front camera is relatively sharp and colorful with little of the usual front camera blocky noise when using video chat. Given the popularity of selfies, I'm sure no one minds having higher quality 5MP stills of themselves and surrounding friends.

S Pen

The S Pen is back, and this time it lives in a spring-loaded silo. Push in to release it and push in again to lock it in place. The pen is similar in size to the last gen model's pen and it's still plastic though it looks like metal. Inside it's using Wacom technology with pressure sensitivity and palm rejection so you can rest your hand on the glass as you write or draw. Air Command, Multi-Window (with resizable floating app windows) and other Samsung staples are here. When you pull the pen out of the silo, the phone launches a handy palette of customizable pen-related app shortcuts, including a screen capture and annotate feature, quick note and S Note. In fact, you can even write a note when the phone is sleeping. Just pull the pen out of the silo and start writing on the black screen (in white ink). You can save that file for use later. This feature works even if you've PIN or fingerprint locked the phone.

As ever, S Pen is a treat if you're an avid "note to self" type or an artist craving a digital art pad. It's also handy for drawing diagrams, quick maps and equations. Oddly, Samsung decided to "clean up" S Note, and the handwriting to text conversion and equation recognition are now free optional downloads. You'll have to go to the S Note main screen (you can't be in a note) and use the menu to select optional add-ons if you want those features.

Battery Life

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a 3,000 mAh Lithium Ion battery that's sealed inside (I know, I know, some of you hate this change). It supports quick charging as well as wireless charging and a quick charger is included in the box. Battery life is good, but not groundbreaking. We've averaged 4.8 hours of actual screen on time with auto-brightness enabled, and for moderate use that translates into a full day to 1.5 days. Some older Note models actually managed 1.5 to 2 days, but recent generations' battery runtimes have shortened as screens get bigger, brighter and higher resolution while processor speeds also move upward. Then there's LTE 4G, a power hungry technology.

As a consolation for the loss of a removable battery, the phone's quick charge feature is extremely fast, and as with the iPhone and other sealed smartphones, you can use one of the many portable USB battery packs on the market to top up the battery on the go

Moto x pure edition 2015

Moto X Pure Edition (Moto X Style)

Editor's rating (1-5):

What's Hot: Lovely design options, big high resolution display, fast, unlocked phone that works on all major and many smaller carriers (GSM and CDMA).

What's Not: Heavy, phablet size might not suit older Moto X owners. Camera focus sometimes unreliable and low light photos are weak. Battery life not great.


Another year, another Moto X. For 2015 things get really exciting with the Moto X Pure Edition (Moto X Style overseas); it's a much more powerful phone than anything we've seen under the Moto X, G and E labels, and it's much bigger. The Moto X Pure Edition has a 5.7" QHD display, putting it squarely in phablet territory with the likes of the more expensive Samsung Galaxy Note 5, iPhone 6 Plus and the LG G4. Last year's X wasn't a high end phone in terms of processing power, but this time we get the 1.86 GHz Snapdragon 808 CPU with 3 gigs of RAM. While that might not be the very fastest CPU available, it's pretty darned quick and it's the same as in the LG G4. The price is still relatively tame, coming in much cheaper than the iPhone 6 Plus, Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5, but it's still considerably more than the run of well-made, inexpensive phones that have hit the market this year like the Asus ZenFone 2, OnePlus 2 and Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3. Still, you get a lot for your money and at $399 for the base model, you're spending several hundred dollars less than on a flagship.

Ah, but that $399 price tag probably isn't for the phone you want. Moto still tempts us with Moto Maker and the array of back materials, colors, accents and storage capacities that will raise the price tag. Our unit has a walnut wood back, champagne accents (you must buy the 32 or 64 gig to even qualify to buy champagne) and 32 gigs of storage for $475. Honestly, that's still much more affordable than several of the flagships, and you get a unique and pretty phone for the price. The base model has 16 gigs of storage and each storage increment adds another $50. Wood or metal backs add a reasonable $25 to the price. Other than the champagne sides + accents, other trim colors and front face colors (black or white) won't cost you more.

This Android smartphone has dual band WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.1 LE, NFC and a GPS. It has a 5MP front camera, rear 21MP camera and a microSD card slot. It's sold unlocked for use with any carrier (yes, one model works on all major US carriers).



CALLING BIG-HANDED FOLKS


The Moto X first gen (we're on the 3rd gen now) won over a lot of people because it was manageable and comfortable in the hand. Each generation grew larger however thanks to the big phone craze and the second gen Moto X was 5.2", while today's model is 5.7". It's not particularly thin or light either, so you'll need a tight waistband, big pockets and sizeable hands to handle the Pure. I do have large hands and prefer large phones, so I'm fine with it, though I do find it a bit heavy banging against my thigh in a roomy front pocket. The phone is about the same size as the LG G4, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and iPhone 6 Plus, though it's thicker than Apple and Samsung's offerings by a noticeable margin. The tapered sides do make it comfortable in hand and easier to hold onto compared to the wafer-like iPhone and slippery glass Galaxy phones.

New for the 2015 Moto X is a microSD card slot-- awesome! In fact, the phone will offer to move your media files to a card if you have one inserted. The card lives in a slide-in plastic carrier that also holds the nano SIM card at the top of the phone. This requires a particularly thin poke tool (included). Even a paperclip is too thick to eject the card holder. Why Moto, why? Many of us will misplace the tool, but paperclips are readily available.

The battery is sealed inside as with previous generations, and the front is covered in Gorilla Glass 3 with lovely side tapers. It looks and feels like a classy phone, at least with a wood or leather back. The plastic backs aren't too shabby either but they definitely aren't as chic despite the seemingly timeless Moto design and aluminum sides that have a little plastic too, which detracts and distracts from the design.



UNLOCKED PHONE FTW!

The Moto X Pure Edition is one of the few phones that's unlocked and supports all four major carriers (and several smaller and regional carriers). Not many phones do both GSM as well as Sprint and Verizon's flavors of CDMA, and that puts the Moto X Pure in small but good company. Just pop in your AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint or Verizon SIM card and you're ready to go, with LTE 4G too. Of course you won't get some carrier specific features like WiFi calling or VoLTE, but you will be able to use the phone when travelling overseas with any SIM you like. You can switch carriers with no need to buy a new phone.

Motorola has always excelled at voice quality and reception, and the Moto X Pure Edition is no exception. Calls were clear and full on both ends with average call volume. Reception was a tiny bit better (-2 to -4 db) than several other current carrier phones. Data speeds were par for the course on the carriers we tested (the same as other high end phones).

IPS DISPLAY

Motorola, now owned by Lenovo and previously owned by Google, has entered the specs war full force when it comes to display size and resolution. This time we get a QHD 2560 x 1440 LCD. It has pleasing warm colors, better than average brightness and mediocre viewing angles. To bring the phone's price down, obviously Moto couldn't give us the best of everything. It's not as color saturated and contrasty as Samsung's Super AMOLED displays since it's not AMOLED (I know, duh), but some folks prefer more realistic like colors. It's not quite as vibrant and colorful as the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus either, but it looks very good compared to the LG G4 and HTC One M9. The M9 has a lower resolution display with distinctly average colors and the G4's display isn't as bright.

As with other Moto phones, we have Moto Display, a feature I really like. Just move the phone and the sleep screen wakes to show you notifications without having to unlock and turn on the phone. You can also use Motorola's voice command, or stick with Google Now.

PERFORMANCE AND HORSEPOWER

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 with Adreno 418 graphics is no slouch. Yes, there's the Snapdragon 810, the latest generation Samsung Exynos CPUs and the Apple A9 that can beat it in benchmarks, but realistically, do you really need a super computer in your pocket? The nearly pure Android 5.1 OS and native speed of the 808 make for a very fast phone that handles multitasking nicely. It has 3 gigs of RAM and is available with 16, 32 or 64 gigs of storage. If you were to hesitate about buying a Moto X Pure Edition rather than a more expensive flagship, CPU concerns shouldn't be the reason.



CAMERAS

I'll be honest: Moto's phone cameras have been mediocre to atrocious, varying by model. The Moto X Pure Edition finally changes that. Not because it has a 21MP sensor--honestly pixel count is less important than lens quality, imaging software, sensor quality, exposure control and other factors. The Moto X Pure takes good photos in good lighting and the new night mode helps a little (just a little) with dim to dark shots. Colors are pleasing, exposure is correct, dynamic range is good and there's no color cast. Images are a little oversharpened, but most folks prefer sharp to fuzzy. Autofocus is the weak link here, and the camera often misses focus, particularly in poor light and indoor home lighting. That's remarkable not only because the camera app forces you to tap to focus and shoot (giving it a clue as to where to focus) but also because camera phones tend to have wide depth of field and focus zones that keep most things in focus easily. This is something Moto could fix with a firmware or software update, and we hope they do. How do the photos compare to the top dog Samsung Galaxy phones and the LG G4? Not as good, but then you're paying less too.



The phone can shoot 4K video via the rear camera and it can automatically scan bar codes and QR codes. Video quality is good but not as good as the Galaxy S6/Note 5 family, LG G4 or iPhone 6 Plus (only comparing 1080p for the iPhone 6 Plus since it lacks 4K recording, a feature that's coming to the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus). Colors are a just a little muddier on the Moto X and there's no optical image stabilization to smooth out jittery handheld video. Still, overall it's a good showing in this price range.

The front 5MP camera has a wide angle lens that lets you capture more of the scene behind and around you, but it also introduces wide angle distortion (we can't have it all). There's even a front flash, and once you blind yourself at close range, you'll probably never use it again. The front camera can shoot 1080p video. The front camera doesn't handle high contrast lighting or low light settings well, but in a well lit environment, it's decent though not as good as Samsung and LG's top phones.

BATTERY LIFE

The 3,000 mAh battery is sealed inside. That's a similar capacity battery to other current smartphones in this size range and unsurprisingly, it has somewhat similar battery life. Since Moto went with the huge high res screen and faster CPU to compete with flagships, battery life isn't as good compared to previous generation Moto X models. We found it typically lasted until 8pm with moderate use (4 to 4.5 hours screen on time). That's not as good as the LG G4 or the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, but it's not far from the smaller Samsung Galaxy S6. This time around, Moto includes the Turbo Charger, a chunky quick charger that can top up the battery by 40% in 30 minutes. Assuming you're near an AC outlet now and again, that really helps if you're a heavy phone user.



Competing phones: Asus ZenFone 2, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+,

CONCLUSION

It's hard not to really like the Moto X Pure Edition for 2015. For a relatively fair price you get a truly stylish phone that you can customize to order. Just as important, it's also fast and has a big QHD resolution display. Even if you add on a few options, it still sits under $500, making it the built to order flagship that doesn't cost $650 to $850. Of course, the LG G4 and HTC One M9 aren't as expensive as the offerings from Samsung and Apple in this size range, and they're also worth a look. But with the Moto X Pure Edition you can buy one unlocked phone that will work on any carrier. It won't have carrier bloat, should get OS updates quicker and it runs a very clean version of Android. For those who want even faster CPUs, better cameras and the complete absence of plastics, the flagships might still be for you. But for anyone looking for a really nice phone under $500, the Moto X Pure Edition is worthy of your consideration.

Manage Your Android Device, Flash & Mod ROMs From Your PC Using UniFlash

Do you flash custom ROMs and mods on your Android device frequently? Do you also modify your current ROM to customize it to your taste? Are you always doing this on the command prompt, transferring files using ADB and flashing using fastboot or recovery? Now there’s a way for you to do all of that and more right from your PC without having to meddle with command line tools directly, thanks to free tool UniFlash. In what follows, we will guide you on using UniFlash to flash, mod, hack and manage your Android device.

Introduction

Smartphone enthusiasts with Android devices often find themselves modifying them with all sorts of custom ROMs, hacks, kernels and other such mods. Many of us also go beyond that, directly accessing the system partition to change or replace system apps and configuration files. UniFlash makes the process of doing that easy by providing you with a graphical interface on your PC to do it all from. Behind the scenes, it still uses the same ADB and fastboot tools, but it eliminates the need for you to use them directly, thus making the process relatively safer and decreasing the chances of mistakes.

Important: 

You will still be modifying the internal memory of your Android device and should be extremely careful when flashing partitions or ROMs, making sure they are meant for your device, in order to avoid bricking your device.

Now let’s take a detailed look at UniFlash, all the features it offers, and how to use it with your device.

Requirements

Since UniFlash is aimed at Android enthusiasts who modify and tweak their devices beyond their standard features rather than regular everyday users who simply modify their devices with apps, it has certain requirements to function.

Unlocked Bootloader  – To be able to flash partition images to your device from bootloader, the bootloader should be unlocked.

Root access – To perform many functions such as system app and data manipulation, editing system files, accessing all the partitions while Android is running, your device must be rooted. 

You can find our bootloader unlocking and rooting guides for many devices here

Custom Recovery 

– To flash ROMs and mods from zip files, the device needs a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP installed. Check out our recovery guide for details.

USB debugging enabled

– UniFlash requires access to your device from your computer via USB to work, and this requires USB debugging enabled.You can do so as follows:

On Android 4 ICS or later, go to Settings > Developer options, enable Developer options, and then check ‘Android debugging’.

On earlier versions of Android, go to Settings > Applications > Development, and check ‘USB debugging’.

Once you meet these requirements, you are ready to use UniFlash. Note that you can still use many of its features without meeting all of these requirements. For instance, you can install apps from your PC to your phone without requiring root access or unlocked bootloader. However, USB debugging is the only mandatory requirement and the tool will not function without it, and most other features will require one or more of the other three requirements.

Installation

Installing UniFlash on your computer is quite simple and straightforward.

Download uni flash here.. You can find it in the ‘Attached Files’ section at the end of the post.

Extract the contents of the downloaded file to any folder on your computer using WinRAR or 7zip.

Run the extracted file, which in itself extracts all the required files to a location of your choice. It is a good idea to provide a simple path with no spaces in the path name.

UniFlash is now installed, and you can run it by running the UniFlash.exe file in the folder where you installed it.

Important: Upon installation or first run, the current version of UniFlash creates a folder in your C drive called ‘unitools’. Make sure not to delete it, or UniFlash will not work.

Note that the program is in active development and many of its features may change with time. In this guide, we will be using its 1.1 version. A newer test version 1.2 is available right now but it has several issues that are being ironed out at the moment. We recommend using v1.1 at the moment until the next stable and tested update is out. You can stay up to date on the progress and updates at the link above.

Interface

Once you launch UniFlash, connect your device via USB and click ‘Connect my device’ in its interface, you will be presented with a screen like this as soon as an ADB connection is successfully established.

As you can see, the buttons for Flashing, Backup/Restore, ROM Modding and Download Center are now enabled. Furthermore, you can also see information on your device in the right pane including its battery level, manufacturer, name, ID, processor type, Android version, current ROM and Mod, and partition spaces for /system, /data, /sd-ext (if present) and /sdcard.

In our testing with a Nexus S running the latest Jelly Bean based AOKP nightly, UniFlash couldn’t show Mod information or detect SD card space. (‘Отсутствует’ = None; ‘Отсутст’ = ‘Absence’. Source = Google Translate.) The sd-ext partition was correctly reported as absent though.

Flashing

As evident from the name, this section allows you to flash different partitions to your device. Though don’t let the name fool you – if you are looking to flash ROMs using recovery flashable zip files, skip ahead to the ‘ROM Modding’ section instead.

IMPORTANT – READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING:

Be EXTREMELY careful when flashing partition images to your device. Flashing wrong kernel/boot images or recovery files will only make your device or its recovery unbootable and this can be fixed by reflashing the appropriate correct boot and recovery images. However, flashing wrong radio or bootloader images can and most likely WILL brick your device. In certain cases, flashing wrong splash images have had similar consequences too. The writer of this guide, AddictiveTips or the developer of UniFlash will NOT be responsible if you brick or damage your device in any way.

In the Flashing section, you can easily flash Kernel (Boot), Recovery, Splash and Radio images to your device. Simply click the desired partition that you want to flash, and you will be presented with a file selection window. Select the appropriate image file and UniFlash will automatically reboot your device into bootloader and flash it. If your device is already in bootloader mode, make sure to enable the ‘Already in BootLoader’ check box before selecting the image.

You can also reboot your device normally, into recovery or into bootloader from this section. In addition, this section also offers some APK management tools. This doesn’t seem to be the appropriate space for them though, as they should be more suited to the ‘ROM Modding’ section. Lets take a more detailed look at these features and how to use them.

Install APK

This simply allows you to install an app directly from your computer to your device using its APK file. As it uses ADB, you don’t need to enable app sideloading or perform any step on your device for this.

Delete apps

This brings up a list of all the currently installed apps, allowing you to select them for deletion.



Note that these are only user-installed apps, and don’t include any system apps. However, the list shows the filenames for the APK files of these apps, rather than the app names themselves, so make sure you know you’re deleting the right app before you proceed.

Copy to device & Copy from Device

Choosing this option allows you to copy files from your computer to your Android device. Selecting it first brings up a path selection interface. Simply choose the path on your device where you want to copy the files from your computer.





Once you select the path, you will be allowed to browse for the files that you want to copy to the device.

The ‘Copy from device’ option works similarly, allowing you to choose the file on your device that you want to copy in a similar interface, and then letting you save it at a location of your choice on your computer.

Backup And Restore

UniFlash also offers a built-in nandroid-like backup and restore functionality for your ROM. What’s more – it automatically transfers the backup to your computer immediately after taking one.



To perform a backup, just click ‘Make a backup’, and UniFlash will start backing up your phone’s internal memory. The backup itself is performed on a phone, and you can see the progress in a command prompt window while the process runs. Once done, the backup is transferred to you computer. Backups are stored in a folder named ‘unibackup’ on your C drive. Make sure to check ‘I have an EXT partition’ if you are using apps2sd/data2sd/data2ext with an ext partition on your SD card and want to take its backup as well. Also, select ‘I have a tablet’ in case you’re using a tablet, of course.

While taking a backup worked fine for us multiple times, attempting to restore from a backup resulted in a runtime error. This feature seems to be broken as of this version, and hopefully be fixed in a later update. We therefore suggest you not to rely on backups taken by UniFlash till the restore feature is fully working.

There is also a ‘Restore something not all’ option available in this section that will apparently allow you to restore parts of the backup selectively. However, this seems to be a feature planned for a future version, as this button is currently disabled.

Lastly, there is an option to delete your backups to recover disk space, when you no longer need them.

ROM Modding

After the ‘Flashing’ section, this is where much of the action is. This section allows you to flash official stock or third-party custom ROMs to your device from their zip files, install ROM updates and patches as well as any other flashable zip files, delete system apps from your currently install ROM, edit your currently installed ROM’s build.prop file right from your PC, and wipe data and cache partitions.



Lets now take a look at each of these features in detail.

Install a ROM

To install any ROM to your device, select ‘Choose full ROM’. This will open up a file selection window, allowing you to select the zip file of the ROM you want to install. Once you have selected it, ‘Flash official ROM’ or ‘Flash custom ROM’ options would become enabled, depending on the ROM you have chosen. Note that UniFlash may detect an unofficial ROM as official or vice versa, but don’t worry about it as the flashing procedure should work regardless. Clicking the appropriate button will then start the flashing process, beginning with transferring the ROM’s zip file to your SD card, then booting the device into recovery and flashing the rom from there.

This feature did not seem to work for us for now, despite trying multiple custom ROMs (CyanogenMod 10 nightly and AOKP nightly) with both ClockworkMod 6 Touch recovery and TWRP 2.2 Touch recovery. It might be working for flashing stock ROMs using stock recovery, but we haven’t tested that. Since UniFlash is under active development, these issues are expected and should be sorted out soon.

Install a ROM Patch or Update

Similar to installing a ROM, this feature allows you to install a patch or update to your ROM. To use it, select ‘Choose patch/update’ and select the zip file of the patch or update you want to flash. UniFlash will then proceed to automatically copying the file to your SD card, booting your device into recovery and flashing the patch or update.

This feature also did not seem to work for us for now, despite trying multiple flashable zip files (the latest Jelly bean Google Apps package and a custom framework patch) with both ClockworkMod 6 Touch recovery and TWRP 2.2 Touch recovery. It might be working for flashing stock ROM updates using stock recovery, but we haven’t tested that. Since UniFlash is under active development, these issues are expected and should be sorted out soon.

Edit build.prop

Many Android enthusiasts edit the build.prop file to change several properties of their devices like the device name, other device and ROM-related information, and screen DPI settings. Usually, doing this on your PC involves manually copying the file to your PC, editing it and then copying it back to your phone using ADB, root level file explorers or other similar tools. UniFlash lets you easily do all of that.



As you can see, you can retrieve the build.prop file from your phone and edit it in the UniFlash itself. Once you are happy with all the changes you have made, all you have to do is click ‘Save build.prop’ and all your changes will be saved to your device directly. You may need to reboot your device for these changes to take effect.

Delete System Apps

If you want to get rid of system apps that shipped with your ROM, UniFlash allows you to do that easily from its interface. Just click ‘Delete system apps’ and you will be shown a list of all the currently installed system apps. From there, just select the app you want to delete and hit ‘OK’ to delete it.



Warning: Be EXTREMELY careful with this feature, as deleting critical system apps can cause your ROM to stop working. While it will certainly not brick your phone, you will have to go through the process of manually copying that APK back, restoring a backup or flashing a working ROM to get your phone up and running again. It is always a good idea to save a copy of that file somewhere else before deleting it, unless you’re sure it isn’t a critical app.

Once you have deleted all the system apps you want, click ‘End operation’ and you’ll be done.

Wipe Data / Factory Reset and Wipe Cache

There are two buttons available for performing a data wipe (factory reset) and wiping the cache. However, in our testing, neither of these did anything. Either this feature isn’t implemented yet, or it is meant for stock or ClockworkMod recovery and isn’t compatible with the TWRP recovery we are using.

Download Center

The Download Center (labeled DownCenter in the top bar) feature is not working yet. Once implemented, it will allow you to download popular ROMs directly to flash them with UniFlash, without having to go through the hassle of looking for them on websites and forums. It will also likely feature a way for users to keep up with the latest updates to ROMs, and their add-ons in a unified interface. Once implemented, it can definitely serve as a really handy feature to manage all your ROM downloads and updates right from your PC through a central hub without having to browse through forums and sites.

How to wipe android device

    The best way to completely wipe your Android device

The default data wipe tool in Android may not be enough to permanently eliminate personal data on your old device.

A study from security software vendor Avast has suggested that the factory reset option built into the Android operating system isn't effective in eradicating your personal data from old devices. The firm purchased 20 used Android smartphones on eBay and was able to recover more than 40,000 photos, 750 emails and text messages, and 250 contacts, along with the identities of four of the previous device owners, and even a completed loan application. To make matters worse, Avast employees were using readily available data recovery software to get the job done.

While Avast and other companies like it offer data deletion tools, there are other steps you can take to securing your personal data when performing a factory reset.

A journey by train.

            A journey by train.

Journey is always fascinating. It charms our mind and makes us happy. Journey is a relief  in our monotonous everyday life. After a journey we feel relaxed and fresh. It also fills our heart with peace. During the last winter vacation, I got an opportunity to make a journey by train with my family members from Dhaka to Rajshahi. My uncle lives there. We generally go to Rajshahi by bus. But that time my father decided to go there by train.

It was 11 December, 2010. We got up early in the morning, took preparation and got on two rickshaws. It took almost half an hour to reach Kamlapur Railway Station.

My father bought four tickets from the ticket counter for the 'Ekota Express'. We got into the train and found our seats beside the window. Within a few minutes, the guard blew his whistle and waved his green flag and the train started to move slowly at about 7.30 am. The train left the platform and gradually it attained speed. The window was opened and I could see outside easily. The train was moving at a great speed and there was a great jerking. The village women were seen carrying pitchers of water, farmers were seen working in the fields and young boys and girls were shivering in cold. All these left a permanent impression  on my mind.

As it was an intercity train, it did not stop in many stations and was not very crowded. When it was crossing small stations, it seemed speedier. There were a few hawkers selling boiled eggs, chanachur and betel leaf and fried ground nut. We had our breakfast with bread and boiled eggs. Later an attendant was ordered to bring tea.

The time passed by. During the journey, my father showed me the Indian boarder at hilly station. I was enjoying everything around me. In this way we passed ten hours and at last reached Raajshahi. My uncle was waiting for us with a car. After coming out of the station, it took only ten minutes to reach my uncle’s house. We were greeted cordially.

Thus the train journey came to an end. Though I made the journey last year, the memory of it is ever fresh in my mind.

A princes of mars Part 1

Today, we begin a new series from a book by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs.  The book is called "A Princess of Mars."  It is the first book in a series that Mr. Burroughs wrote about a man who travels to Mars during the last years of the eighteen hundreds. There, the man meets strange beings and sees strange sights. At first he is a captive, then a warrior, and after many battles, a prince of a royal family.

Shep O'Neal begins the story of "A Princess of Mars."
JOHN CARTER:  I am a very old man. How old I do not know. It is possible I am a hundred, maybe more.  I cannot tell because I have never aged as other men do.

So far as I can remember, I have always been a man of about thirty.  I appear today as I did forty years ago.  Yet, I feel that I cannot go on living forever.  Someday I will die the real death from which there is no escape.  I do not know why I should fear death. I who have died two times and am still alive.

I have never told this story. I know the human mind will not believe what it cannot understand.  I cannot explain what happened to me. I can only tell of the ten years my dead body lay undiscovered in an Arizona cave.

My name is John Carter.  I am from the state of Virginia.  At the close of the Civil War I found myself without a home, without money and without work.

I decided the best plan was to search for gold in the great deserts of the American Southwest.

I spent almost a year searching for gold with another former soldier, Captain James Powell, also of Virginia.  We were extremely lucky.  In the winter of eighteen sixty-five we found rocks that held gold.

Powell was trained as a mining engineer.  He said we had uncovered over a million dollars worth of gold in only three months.  But the work was slow with only two men and not much equipment.  So we decided Powell should go to the nearest settlement to seek equipment and men to help us with the work.  On March third, eighteen sixty-six, Powell said good-bye.  He rode his horse down the mountain toward the valley. I followed his progress for several hours.

The morning Powell left was like all mornings in the deserts of the great Southwest -- clear and beautiful.

Not much later I looked across the valley.  I was surprised to see three riders in the same place where I had last seen my friend.  After watching for some time, I decided the three riders must be hostile Indians.

Powell, I knew, was well armed and an experienced soldier.  But I knew he would need my aid.  I found my weapons, placed a saddle on my horse and started as fast as possible down the trail taken by Powell.

I followed as quickly as I could until dark.  About nine o'clock the moon became very bright.  I had no difficulty following Powell's trail.  I soon found the trail left by the three riders following Powell.  I knew they were Indians.  I was sure they wanted to capture Powell.

Suddenly I heard shots far ahead of me.  I hurried ahead as fast as I could.  Soon I came to a small camp.  Several hundred Apache Indians were in the center of the camp.  I could see Powell on the ground.  I did not even think about what to do, I just acted.  I pulled out my guns and began shooting.

The Apaches were surprised and fled.  I forced my horse into the camp and toward Powell. I reached down and pulled him up on the horse by his belt.  I urged the horse to greater speed.  The Apaches by now realized that I was alone and quickly began to follow.  We were soon in very rough country.

The trail I chose began to rise sharply.  It went up and up.  I followed the trail for several hundred meters more until I came to the mouth of a large cave.

It was almost morning now.  I got off my horse and laid Powell on the ground.  I tried to give him water.  But it was no use.  Powell was dead.  I laid his body down and continued to the cave.

I began to explore the cave.  I was looking for a safe place to defend myself, or perhaps for a way out.  But I became very sleepy.  It was a pleasant feeling.  My body became extremely heavy.  I had trouble moving.  Soon I had to lay down against the side of the cave.  For some reason I could not move my arms or legs.

I lay facing the opening of the cave.  I could see part of the trail that had led me here.  And now I could see the Apaches.  They had found me.  But I could do nothing.

Within a minute one of them came into the cave.  He looked at me, but he came no closer.  His eyes grew wide.  His mouth opened.  He had a look of terror on his face.  He looked behind me for moment and then fled.

Suddenly I heard a low noise behind me.

So could the rest of the Apaches.  They all turned and fled.  The sound became louder.  But still I could not move.  I could not turn my head to see what was behind me.  All day I lay like this.  I tried again to rise, and again, but still I could not move.  Then I heard a sharp sound.  It was like a steel wire breaking.  I quickly stood up.  My back was against the cave wall.

I looked down.  There before me lay my body.

For a few moments, I stood looking at my body.  I could not bring myself to touch it.  I was very frightened.  The sounds of the cave and the sight of my body forced me away.  I slowly backed to the opening of the cave.

I turned to look at the Arizona night.  I could see a thousand stars.  As I stood there I turned my eyes to a large red star.  I could not stop looking at it.  It was Mars…the red planet…the red god of war.  It seemed to pull me near.

Then, for a moment, I closed my eyes.  There was an instant of extreme cold and total darkness.  Suddenly I was in deep, dreamless, peaceful sleep.

I opened my eyes upon a very strange land.  I immediately knew then I was on Mars.  Not once did I question this fact.  My mind told me I was on Mars as your mind tells you that you are upon Earth.  You do not question the fact, nor did I.

I found myself lying on a bed of yellow colored grass that covered the land for kilometers.  The time was near the middle of the day and the sun was shining full upon me.  It was warm.

I decided to do a little exploring.  Springing to my feet, I received my first Martian surprise.  The effort to stand carried me into the Martian air to the height of about one meter.  I landed softly upon the ground, however, without incident.

I found that I must learn to walk all over again.  My muscles were used to the gravity of Earth.  Mars has less gravity.  My attempts to walk resulted in jumps and hops, which took me into the air.  I once landed on my face.  I soon learned that it took much less effort for me to move on Mars than it did on Earth.

Near me was a small, low wall.  Carefully, I made my way to the wall and looked over.  It was filled with eggs, some already broken open.  Small, green creatures were in them.  They looked at me with huge red eyes.

As I watched the fierce-looking creatures, I failed to hear twenty full-grown Martians coming from behind me.  They had come without warning.  As I turned, I saw them.  One was coming at me with a huge spear, with its sharp tip pointed at my heart!
