One fine evening!

   hey! i m back . After a hectic day when i sit back  and relax at home with a cup of coffee in hand, i browse the web & I find something interesting! " South Korea smartphone ownership triples in 2 years and is highest in the world! "
Interesting? huh? only until you compare that tiny country's achievement with the Great nation of ours!
This made me research more about my country and the results were damn surprising. Read on
  • A country's development/progress represented in terms of average income of its citizen which is known as Per Capita Income or GDP(gross domestic product). There is a list made with the decreasing order of GDP and India ranks 126 out of 180 countries! yeah you read that right. we are that backward!. what about South Korea? 28! . damn! A country so small beats India by such a large number.Being large makes it easy to be more developed? Well yeah, more resources, more citizens , more ideas!, more innovation!.
  • Lets ignore all this GDP crap for some time. Let us try to find out how many citizens do we have? 1cr? no! . We have around 130cr(1.3bn). And we have borrowed a loan of $10bn = $1000cr! from world bank. Our nation not only tops in population but also in borrowing loans. We top the world bank's loan list!
Well if you sit back and Google you might find plenty more facts which proves our backwardness. We might be having a great background or a fortune of great civilizations but that doesnt prove anything. Past is history. Its only in books now!.
So what do you foresee? Narendra Modi?
Well, you think a single person alone can change a huge nation like India and fully develop it? At the moment all that matters is what you do to the society starting from the small little things like switching off the Engine when you are at the traffic signal! Think what change a person like you can bring to the society. Maybe one day you might create awareness among people or innovate with your new ideas. Bring out the spirit inside you.

Android >> Simplified!

       
   Android! U mean that smartphone crap? Yeah. Most phones you find in the market nowadays run an Os called Android. Android was bought by Google .inc in 2005 and currently there are about a billion android devices running around. Starting all the way from a smartphone to a microwave over, run on android os!. Thats a pretty cool achievement for Google. But, what made android so popular?

  • User friendly - Nothing in life can be made any simpler i guess.
  • Java Platform - The most secure language ever.
  • Open source - Any body can modify personalize the native code for their phone.
  • Linux based - All kernals(will talk about this later) are linux based which provides high performance.
  • Bug free - Java, says it all.


        That pretty much explains why android is super cool. If you would like to know how android devices work, go here(Highly superficial explanation).So, basically there are two kinds of people.
  1. I'm satisfied with the features on my phone. 
  2. I wanna try out some cool stuff with this device.
Well if you belong to the first set of people, i will not suggest you to read any further. lol., I belong to the second category i guess. I try out a lot of stuff with my smart device. If you wanna know how? why? read on.
You will have to do the following stuff to continue.
  1. Root : ^warranty void - Many users have a misconception that rooting your phones means changing the os or some crap! .well, its not! - Its basically getting super user permissions on your device. i mean, permissions to control your device processor,ports etc!If you have already rooted your device, then you are allowed to do anything with it.
  2. Custom Rom - Once you have got all privileges to manipulate your device functioning you can Install anything you want to try. I am talking about changing the operating system, the set of instructions which  help a user to interact with the device. You will need to flash(install) a custom rom in order to try any os. Once you flash the Custom Rom, it can offer you 
  •  New cool interface
  • Better performance
  • New features etc.
    3. Kernel - These are the drivers which interact between your os and the driver.They are mostly in c/c++.
        Changing these set of softwares made add cool features but may damage your device.
    

      Is that all?no. there are lots of things to learn, tons of cool stuff to try. All you need is patience and interest and a bit of courage. lol. So where you get this to learn? here.
Thanks for reading. See you soon!
