There is many interesting Blogs for Android devices, apps, programming etc. And if you are interested to see another blogs, I collect few interesting Blogs to you.
If you like update Your Nexus 7 to latest Android 4.2 version, there is two ways. First, OTA update; It is easiest way to do it, if you don't have rooted and change your kernel or modify system files. OTA update works fine even if you have just rooted your device but doesn't change your kernel or modify system or prop files. Update doesn't remove root. You can try this way first, even you don't have sure. If update found problem it doesn't update your system. Second, Manual update; This option becomes only change if you have rooted and modified or/and change your kernel. That was my way. There is several ways to do it. I am noobie with Android system so I don't like start doing replace files or modify them. I thinked there must be some much easier way to do it, for people thou don't know programming or system manipulating.
After little internet digging, I found really useful utility kit that made everything to me very easy. "EZ Update Android 4.2/CWM/Root/Save Data/1 Click" safe your day if your OTA update fail. This utility is really easy to use, but YOU NEED READ Read Me file before you start do anything. You and only you are responsible what your device happen, no one else. You use that program your own responsibility! Program will flash (or re-flash) the Android 4.2 update (Including system, kernel and boot-loader). It will flash latest 4.2 compatible Clockwork-mod Touch Recovery also. And then it will get you full set up to re-root your Nexus 7 within the latest CWM.
It will NOT erase your data and you DON'T need to be on a stock ROM to run this utility, but it is recommended when you get into CWM recovery for obvious reasons.
If you have any issues and get caught at Google splash screen. You can use Power, Vol - to hard shut down the tablet, then Power, Vol +, Vol - to get into the boot-loader. From here you can install the factory images from Google. Once you're back up and running, you can run this tool to gain root and CWM back.
Google's new 7 inch android pad is welcomed competitor to this size series. At a short, it's a really solid device. (I bought one myself, and I like it.) Its soft-touch back is comfortable to hold, and everything from text to movies look good on the 7-inch, 16:10, 1280 x 800 display. The awesome part about this tablet is the size. Being used to the size
of the iPad, this was actually a welcomed change. I can easily carry it. It would fit well into the inside jacket pocket of a many men's suit jackets. I can also type on the keyboard with my thumbs while
holding the tablet rather than having to hold it with one hand and type
with the pointer finger of the other. The keyboard isn't nearly as good
as the iPad's in my opinion even though I can use my thumbs (changed better for Android 4.2 version).
Screen have a respectable viewing angles and it’s very crisp and text is quite clear. The Nexus 7 display have not fair well when I tested it outside under the sun and I found it have difficult to read under the sun glare. Video playback, either through viewing the free copy of Transformers: Dark of the Moon (comes free with device) or downloaded movies, delivers as promised: seamless video playback without any lag. That’s likely due to the 1Gb of RAM and the fast quad-core processor. NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor is very capable of doing where the tablet is designed for and it had no problems handling to web browser, playing videos or running various apps or games. Everything performed without a problem. Specifically, I have tested Mass Effect Infiltrator, Rayman Jungle, Hunters etc. and I felt at overall games run smoothly, graphics were good, and the game control reaction was quick and responsive. HD-display lends itself as a great video component and displays videos beautifully. I also found it is pleasing to look at while reading course materials. The text is crisp on the 1280 x 800 display, but just as important, holding the tablet felt natural and didn’t feel straining on my hands or eyes. Nexus 7 would certainly be more attractive if Google and Asus had provided a microSD slot for adding additional storage. Considering this device is focused around media consumption, it seems be funny that it’s only available with 16Gb or 32Gb, which is welcomed expansion of storage capacity, before 8Gb or 16Gb. Thinking of throwing on a few HD movies, a few hours of music and plenty of apps to get you through a long plane ride or road trip? You would do it well over the 16GB model...
The new update There are quite a few new features in Android 4.2; some interesting and
useful, others just kind of cool. First, the Gesture Type feature is
Google's native OS answer to Swype.
I'm not a Swype user, but I was impressed by Gesture Type's ability to
accurately interpret my finger sliding and determine, for the most part,
what I wanted to type. It did, however, have trouble with the word
"badass," which is kind of unacceptable to me.Tablet settings
can now be accessed much more quickly. Simply swipe down from the
top-right corner to reveal a tray of shortcuts, including brightness,
Wi-Fi settings, general settings, battery life, airplane mode, and so
on.
The good:
Nexus 7
features are sharp screen, a comfortable design and really long battery life
and a low price. Android 4.2 update adds some welcomed and useful
features.
The bad:
Missing microSD slot place. Android
still need more tablet-optimized apps, newer games have frame rate
issues.
The bottom line:
With
its excellent design, useful software features, and low price, Nexus 7 is the cheapest way to experience best that the Android
OS has to offer.
Rating 5/5
Princess Punt 2
Princess Punt fans must be happy now, because story of a Princess Keri continues with new game. Yes Princess Punt 2 is coming soon.
Interesting Angry Birds clone with RPG elements. Some call that kind game "Action Puzzle RPG" genre game. At first look, Princess
Punt looks like just one another Angry Birds clone, but actual fact it is
one of the most addictive and charming game release that I have seen on Android
platform in quite some time. While it borrow some elements from Rovio’s world-conquering mobile
game, it have intriguing combination of RPG and physics puzzle offers
in unique features of its own, and it ends up providing more depth than you
might first expect.
The main
character is a seemingly dainty princess, who in fact have the kind
of kick that even David Beckham would be envy it.
Each level she is faced with various monsters, and to dispatch
these fiends she boots her loyal servants into the fray. You start off
with a single hero, but soon there join many other warriors, and each have
skilled in a different crafting.
You have swordsmen, spear men, mage's and archers and
these all have their own skills. For example, the swordsman is able to
perform a vertical slash, while the archer can attack enemy from a distance. How you launch those helpless
individuals into battle is simple; you just pull backwards on the screen
(just like in Angry Birds), adjust your angle and release. When your
selected warrior is airborne, you can initiate their special attack with
a tapping on the screen. Timing this is vital, as you’ll often find yourself needing to hit distant targets or attack weak spots on large enemies.
Actually game seem a
bit overwhelming at some times - in fact that is unlikely to endear it to the
casual crowd which has made Angry Birds such a blockbuster - dedicated
players will find plenty of fun time playing it.
