Android 4.4 Kitkat Flashing Instructions for Nexus 4, all variants of Nexus 7, & Nexus 10

We have posted on the release of factory images of android Kitkat 4.4 for all Nexus devices in the previous post. Now in this post we will brief you on the flashing instructions to get android 4.4 Kitkat onto your Nexus devices.

Pre-requisites

1. You need to have the Android SDK installed. The SDK contains the latest version of adb and fastboot, which you will need for flashing files and issuing commands. 
2. A MicroUSB cable to execute adb sideload, fastboot flash, and other commands. 
3. You also have to unlock your bootloader - a process that wipes your data.
4. Enable Developer options by going to the Settings -> About screen and tapping Build number until the OS unlocks the hidden Developer options menu. Now go to Developer options and make sure you have USB debugging turned on. For security purposes, you can turn it off after we're done.
5. To unlock the bootloader, if you haven't already done so:
6. Reboot into the bootloader by issuing an adb reboot bootloader command on your computer or using the correct combination of buttons applicable to your device. Warning: This will wipe your data. Type in fastboot oem unlock on your computer. Agree to the unlock by selecting Yes on your device (VolUp, then Power).
7. You have now unlocked your bootloader (and the data partition was wiped clean). Verify by rebooting to the bootloader again and looking at Lock State.

Instructions

1. Download the full factory image corresponding to your Nexus model (Nexus 4 is occam), which includes the full system, bootloader, recovery, kernel (boot.img), and radio (radio is not included for Wi-Fi-only variants). 
2. Unpack the tgz (tar/gz) archive into its own directory. You can use any tool that reads gz and tar, like 7-Zip.
3. Proceed with this step if you want to keep your data intact. If you skip this step, your data will be wiped. With your favorite text editor, edit (be careful not to run it by accident instead of editing) flash-all.bat (if you're on Windows) or flash-all.sh (Mac, Linux) and remove "-w" from the fastboot update command. For example, if the line reads fastboot -w update image-razor-jss15j.zip, it should now read fastboot update image-razor-jss15j.zip. The -w option instructs fastboot to wipe data.
4. Reboot into the bootloader and run the appropriate flash-all script.

Now you are done....

Note: The above procedure restored the factory recovery, so if you want a custom one, you can flash one now .For better security, you can relock the bootloader by issuing fastboot oem lock while booted to the bootloader. This will, however, mean that if you ever want to do anything that requires an unlocked bootloader, you will lose your data in the unlock process.

Rooting

1. Rooting your Nexus is very easy. It requires an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery. I recommend using TWRP.
2. Flash TWRP from here (Reboot into the bootloader as before and then fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img).
3. Reboot into recovery (adb reboot recovery).
4. Flash SuperSU. To do that, download the zip, then put the recovery into adb sideload mode (in TWRP, it's under Advanced), and then do adb sideload FILENAME.zip.

You should be rooted.

Reboot, head to the Play Store, and update SuperSU.

Android 5.0, aka Jelly Bean, set for Q3 release

Android 5.0 aka Jelly Bean is set to be released in the Q3 of 2012.The codename Jelly Bean is almost certain with many manufacturers such as ASUS confirming the name. This news comes at a time when the latest  data released by Google says that so far only 1.6% of android devices have got Ice Cream Sandwich installed in them. Most of the Android device manufacturers are set to roll out their ICS updates by the end of Q2.

We still don’t know much about the next version of Android, but expect to see plenty at Google I/O at the end of June. The sole rumor so far about Jelly Bean is being centered around a docked desktop-style interface.

Cheap Android Tablets sneak peek

The low cost educational android tablet war is getting crowded in the Indian market. It all started with Akash- India's $35 tablet last year. Then came Ubislate 7+ at a price tag of 3000 INR($60) with 3G support and other features. All this started when the Indian Government decided to start developing tablets for its students.
Here am listing out a few other cheap tablets to be launched this month or in a month.


BSNL's Penta

The latest entrant in the field is the Penta series tablets introduced by BSNL, the state owned telecom carrier.
BSNL has launched three tablets in partnership with Pantel, a Noida-based company. The three new BSNL tablets are Penta TPAD IS701R, Penta TPAD WS704C and Penta TPAD WS802C.  
Out of the 3, Penta TPAD IS701R is the costs the lowest at INR3500($68). The device packs a 17.8-cm (7-inch) resistive touchscreen,800 X 600 resolution, front-facing camera, 1GHz processor and 256 MB RAM running Android gingerbread 2.3, which is expandable up to 32 GB via memory card. 


ATab


ATab is another new device to debut in the low-cost tablet market segment. AcrossWorld Education has launched ATab tablet in India in a tie-up with Delhi-based GoTech.

The ATab Android tablet features a 17.8-cm (7-inch) TFT touchscreen, 1.1 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM with 2 GB built-in memory, expandable up to 32 GB. The device will further support Wi-Fi and an external 3G USB dongle. The company plans to provide a three-year free and unlimited access to AcrossWorld Education's proprietary and revolutionary education technology platform, EducationBridge. Atab will hit the stores in the Indian market in the second week of March at a price point of INR 5,000.  


BizzBook 


Hyderabad-based start-up firm Bizz Group is set to launch six new budget tablets priced between INR 3,200 and INR 12,000 in the second week of March to compete with Aakash tablets.  

The company revealed that BizzBook B7i1 will be in the same league as Aakash tablet, priced at INR 3,200. The new B7i1 tablet will sport a resistive 17.7-cm (7-inch) touchscreen, a 800 Mhz processing speed, Android 2.2 operating system, and a battery that can last from two to four hours. However, additional phone calling will make the device costlier by INR 4,200. The company will also be offering a device matching the specs of Aakash 2 in the coming days. 


ClassPad 


ClassPad tablet is being launched by Mind Shaper Technologies (Classteacher Learning Systems). The device comes with a touchscreen, 1.3 Ghz processing speed, built-in memory of 4 GB, expandable up to 8 GB and 7-hour battery life.

How to increase Battery life of your android handset?

      The battery life of android phones and tablets are experienced to be too low compared to devices running  on other operating systems such as Symbian and windows. The reason behind this difference is not only hardware but the way the OS runs in your device. There are certain tips to increase the battery life up to a good extent.

1. Exit Unwanted apps

          If you hide applications it will be running in back ground and so taking a portion of the processor and hence the battery life. So when ever a running application is not wanted exit it or 'back' from it.

2. Use an application killer

          You can use an application killer to completely exit the applications and hence saving a lot of battery life and reduce the wastage of RAM.

3. Turn of frequent mail alerts

          Applications providing frequent mail alerts will access internet connectivity to get its information updated. This will use a lot of battery. So avoid using these applications if its not a must.

4. Turn off Wi Fi

          If Wi Fi is turned on it will frequently search for available Wi Fi spots and this will consume the charge. So turn off Wi Fi whenever its not needed.

5. Use 2G mode

          If internet access is not needed put the network mode in 2G. Using 3G or Dual mode will kill the battery charge.

6. Turn off weather updates

         Try to avoid using applications such as weather updates. Use it to a minimum if its a must.

7. Display Brightness

        Use display brightness according to the need. Use minimum brightness and get more power back up.

• After downloading all the tools, install the RSD Lite suite in your computer and once installed, install the Motorola Device drivers next.
• Now, Download and install the ADB in your computer and install the Android SDK in your computer to get the ADB shell in your computer.
• After this, all you need to do is to download the rageinthecage-arm5, the Motorola Drivers & the Super user package from the below mentioned links.
• Now, you will have to unzip the rageinthecage-arm5 & the Super user package to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder) and connect your phone to the computer using the original USB Cable.
• After connecting, open the terminal and enter the below mentioned commands,

    adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/
    adb shell
    chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
    /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

• Now after entering the above commands, you now need to enter the below commands in the command line,

  exit
    adb kill-server
    adb start-server
    adb shell


NOTE: You should see a “#”. If you see a “$”, then the exploit didn’t work, please repeat above steps.  You need to enter the commands one by one with a gap of 2 -3 seconds so as to ensure that the commands are processed.


mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
    exit
