Hi Guys, In an earlier post we discussed the Play Store for rooted Android devices known as Xposed Framework. Today we are gonna discuss the App Store for jailbroken iOS Devices known as Cydia. What is Cydia? Cydia is like an App Store on which all the items (apps, modules, tweaks, emulators, etc.) which needs root access to work properly, or which got rejected by Apple Inc. to be included in the official App Store to protect its the limitations it imposes on its devices. The foremost thing is it also allows you to change the look of your iPhone, which is the main reason we envy our Android friends. You can select from a variety of themes that can change your icons, wallpaper, dock and status bar, etc. You can even use an application called WinterBoard to changes things like your dialer keypad, your Chat bubbles, the color of the WiFi and Signal bars…etc.

Hi Guys, Today we are gonna discuss about the Xposed Framework which is often lauded as the Play Store of Rooted Android. Xposed framework gives a rooted user the possibility to modify his/her Stock ROM (that is pre-installed ROM); without modifying any Application Package file (aka APK file or your Android apps) or installing any custom ROM. Advantages of Xposed Framework - No need to change any APK file that are Android apps. This means : No need to decompile, do coding, compile, etc. Modules (aka Mods) or tweaks are specific pre-coded changes which overwrite the coding of the existing ROM (aka OS). Your mods are not bound to a specific version of the ROM. Unless there is a major change in the methods called for a certain functionality, your mod will continue to work even when you upgrade your ROM. Many modules work for a lot of ROMs from different vendors. Multiple mods can be installed at the same time, even if they change the same app or functionality. So you can use these battery icons and those quick toggles. Even hooking the same method twice is possible. Of course, this only works properly if the mods are not trying to do incompatible things. It does its magic at runtime. That means that developers can add settings and do changes based on them (instead of forcing the mod to behave in a certain behavior). It can be disabled easily via Settings. It's open source and any one can develop free Modules or tweaks etc. Where to download? You can download the installer of Xposed Framework from the following link of XDA Developers xposed.info/latest.apk.

Hi Guys, In an earlier post, we discussed about jailbreaking iOS 7 via Pangu JailBreak Tool. Today, we are gonna discuss about the Taig JailBreak Tool, which is used to jailbreak devices running with Apple's iOS. Generally it is used to jailbreak iOS 8.x. You can check your iOS version in Settings > General > About > Version. We will discuss every aspect of Taig jailbreak in brief. So, let us start.

Hi Guys, In earlier posts, we discussed about the Android Operating System, today we will discuss about an other high-end mobile OS which is yet being developed, known as the Tizen OS. It is a project within the Linux Foundation and is governed by a Technical Steering Group (TSG) composed of many multinational companies like Samsung and Intel among others. The Technical Steering Group is the primary decision-making body for the open source project, with a focus on platform development and delivery, along with the formation of working groups to support the device.

Hi Guys, In an earlier post, we discussed about jailbreaking iOS 6 with the Evasi0n JailBreak Tool. Today, we are gonna discuss about the PanGu JailBreak Tool, which is used to jailbreak devices running with Apple’s iOS. Generally, it is used to jailbreak iOS 7.1.0 to iOS 8.1. You can check your iOS version in Settings > General > About > Version. We will discuss every aspect of PanGu JailBreak in brief. So, let us start.

Hi Guys, In an earlier post, we discussed different ways of rooting. Today, we are gonna discuss about the Evasi0n JailBreak Tool, which is used to jailbreak devices running with Apple's iOS. Generally, it is used to jailbreak iOS 6.0.0 to iOS 7.0.6. You can check your iOS version in Settings > General > About > Version. We will discuss every aspect of Evasi0n jailbreak in brief. So, let us start.

Hi Guys, In an earlier post, we discussed about different ways of rooting. Today, we are gonna discuss about the method to root with Odin which is used to root devices running with Samsung chipsets. We will discuss every aspect of this exploit in brief. So, let us start. What is Odin? [caption id="attachment_207" align="alignleft" width="150"] Odin After Recovery[/caption] [caption id="attachment_206" align="alignright" width="150"] Odin Start Page[/caption] This software was developed by XDA Developers to root devices running with Exynos chipset which are the Samsung devices, using the Odin software's exploit.

Hi Guys, In an earlier post, we discussed about different ways of rooting. Today, we are gonna discuss about the Boromir, Faramir and Barahir Exploits, which are used to root devices running with MTK Chipset. We will discuss every aspect of these exploits in brief. So, let us start. What are Boromir, Faramir and Barahir exploits? [caption id="attachment_171" align="alignright" width="150"] Framaroot installing notice[/caption] An exploit means exploiting of a loop-hole or security hole in an operating system. Framaroot was developed by XDA Developers to root devices running with MTK chipset using the Boromir, Faramir or Barahir exploit.

Hi Guys, In an earlier post, we discussed about different ways of rooting. Today, we are gonna discuss about the Gandalf Exploit, which is used to root devices running with Qualcomm Chipset. We will discuss every aspect of Gandalf exploit in brief. So, let us start. What is Gandalf exploit? An exploit means exploiting of a loop-hole or security hole in an operating system. Framaroot was developed by XDA Developers to root devices running with Qualcomm chipset using the Gandalf exploit.

Hi Guys, We have already discussed the disadvantages of Rooting in our earlier post. Today we will discuss how to overcome those disadvantages. Root access enables a user to install a powerful and versatile app which itself acts as a gateway to easy, non-destructive device change, namely Xposed Framework. Fortunately, there is various privacy protector application such as SuperSU that only grants root access to those applications which the user chooses. There are also various root-enabled utilities which are available to help you restore for when something goes wrong, i.e. un-bricking (which we will discuss in brief in another post).
