Pear OS 8 Review

Pear OS 8. I have never heard it before until I read a post in a tech blog about it. And I was amazed with the features. What amazed me was, it is a Ubuntu based distro (distribution) and design interface like Mac OS.

Ubuntu + Mac OS = WT*?

So,i think for a while. Google some info about Pear OS. And i decide to delete my Ubuntu 12.04 and install Pear OS 8 and dual-boot with windows 7 in my laptop. You dont believe it dont you?

Here is some screenshot.

just sudo update after installation

So, now how to install it? The installation is pretty much same like installing Ubuntu on your computer. Nothing much difference. Here is the download link

Tips to make Android Phone on best performance all the time

How to make android phone fast?

How to fix insufficient storage?

How to fix lag?

How to remove stubborn apps or remove samsung apps?

The questions that I typed above is the typical question raised by Android users since Day 1 of the phone usage. So,how I fix this major issues on my phone? Well,let me share with you. Its up to you,to follow it or not.I just share my knowledge. :-)

1. ROOT

Seriously? I don't want to broke my warranty. Don't worry,you can "unroot" it.

Why root? Because the rest of the tips,the apps that you need will need root access.

What is root? I don't want to blah2x about this. Just watch this video,to make you understand.

So how to root? well just google "how to root <android version><phone model name>".

My tips is just click the result from "xda-developers." You can trust them. Or try search in Youtube to make you understand the steps clearly. Or ask your friend who know rooting stuff to root your phone.

2. Reboot/restart your phone after your phone is fully charged.
Yes,it sounds crazy but it works for me. just reboot if you finish charging up your phone. Works better if you turn off your phone,and turn it on after 10 seconds.
Use this app to reboot in one click. Its call reboot widget.

Tutorial to a create Google chrome app extension

Hey guys,in this post,I am going to share with you on how to create a simple Hello World app for Google Chrome App or extension. Why Hello world? Why not a tutorial to build other app?

Ok, lets make things simple. First of all,based on my understanding, in order to create a Google chrome app/extension. It is just like build a html website and package it with manifest.json files.
In Google chrome app/extension. It's just need a file with

• a manifest.json file
• a .html file
• a .css file
• a. javascript file (can also include jQuery inside javascript)

Take note here,please don't include javaScript code's in HTML file. Chrome hate it! Make sure save it in separate file. So,if you good with building websites, i dont think that will be a problem. Its same.

So,lets start. All you need is ideas,a Chrome web browser and a text editor.

1. Create a folder to save all your files inside. Can put anywhere,make sure you remember it. Prefer to put it in Desktop(for windows). Like me,i create in Home folder in Ubuntu/Linux. So,name anything for your folder. Like me,i create a folder called "chrome app".

So,I am IT student.I think I need to learn this also for my skills.I still learning on how to use this software.I have asked around from my senior's and friends on how they learn after effect.This is what they shared to me.

1.VIDEOCOPILOT

why people like to use instagram

Actually I have just started using this application for my tablet and my smartphone.
It is a nice application.So what is Instagram and why everyone likes to use this app?

Well,what I found from their website:
"Instagram is a fun and quirky way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures. Snap a photo with your mobile phone, then choose a filter to transform the image into a memory to keep around forever. We're building Instagram to allow you to experience moments in your friends' lives through pictures as they happen. We imagine a world more connected through photos."

What I can say is that it is like using twitter but instead you tweet some words,you just upload some photos.You can express your feeling in photos and share it with your friends.So,in conclusion it is photo social media.(You can correct me if I'm wrong).Beside that,you can edit the picture to give more effect and make it awesome.Photoshop users love this.

Well,basically what you do with this app is,
1.you take the picture with this app
2.edit the photo with apply some filters.You can give effect like in DSLR's and many interesting option.s
3.Post the picture and add some caption to it.
4.Like you friends uploaded pictures/comment the pictures
5.Note that like twitter,you can follow other people and there are people will follow you.
