The same could be applied here as well. Imagine booting up the screen with hundreds of lines of codes in Matrix-style running continuously. Or incorporating the Linux logo to the startup screen would surely give your device a tech geek look. All in all, there are a plethora of reasons why you would want to change that boring, dull and monotonous boot animation on your Android device. So with that in mind, let’s start off with this guide....

The icons present there now occupy the center stage, as opposed to the left corner. Likewise, the associated Start menu and the search bar and have undergone some UI tweaks. While all that is well and good, there’s an important feature that might bug a few users. Till Windows 10, you ha the option to change the size of the taskbar by dragging the mouse cursor right from its edge....

An Android device without these offerings would be really challenging for a lot of users. But thanks to the open-source nature of the OS, there exist many tweaks through which you could now import all the Google Apps onto your device. All this is carried out via Google Mobile Services (GMS). But since it is a workaround, chances of a few issues are always there. Among them, one of the most concerning issues is the inability of the users to receive notifications, Even if they are receiving, it is being delayed by many hours....

Likewise, you may even try out a plethora of mods such as Magisk Modules, Xposed Framework, Substratum Themes, Viper4Android, etc. However, each of these tweaks comes with an associated risk factor as well. Issues such as bootloop or soft brick could still be easily dealt with by flashing the stock OxygenOS ROM via Fastboot Commands. However, it is issues involving hard brick that is mostly a cause of concern for many users....

If we turn our attention toward the software side, then it comes with MIUI 13.0.4 based on Android 12 out of the box with the Android 13 beta lined up. So if it’s all going well and good, then why is there a need to manually flash the Indian ROM onto your Redmi Note 12/Pro/Pro+ 5G? Well, there could be quite a few reasons for the same but let’s make you aware of some of the most common use case scenarios....

But when the OS rolled out in Developer, Beta, and finally to the stable build a few weeks back, this feature was nowhere to be found. Fortunately, the wait time is now over and you could now finally get hold of your preferred apps directly on your desktop. So without further ado, let’s check out the steps to install and run Android apps on your Windows 11 PC. How to Install and Run Android Apps on Windows 11 Before starting with the instructions, there are a few requirements that you need to checkmark off the list....

Anyways, this is how things are going to be now and in the near future as well, so you shouldn’t look for any light at the end of the tunnel. With that said, the OEM has just rolled out the Android 13 update for its OnePlus 8/8 Pro/8T. And with that, there is a slew of UI changes that you are about to welcome, all thanks to the Aquamorphic Design in combination with the Material You theme....

While other OEMs have the settings gear icon at the top of the notification panel, Pixel has it at the bottom right. As a result of which, you will have to swipe down twice to access this menu. While it may not sound like much of an effort, but the fact that we interact with this menu the maximum number of times, it only exponentially adds up to the efforts involved....

One such example could be the non-working of one of your keyboard keys. In this regard, my keyboard’s Shift key recently bid adieu. As a result of which, I wasn’t able to open Task Manager, permanently delete a file, or capitalize the letter without opting for workarounds. If you are also stuck in a similar situation, then this guide will make you aware of the steps to remap a key on your keyboard in Windows 11....

On the other hand, this functionality works well and good with all the punctuation keys (period, comma, exclamation mark, etc), Space, and Delete. Say if you want to delete five letters, then just long-press the Delete key and it will do the job. But why is there a conflicting behavior between the alphabet and the function keys? Well, this is because some of the alphabet keys behold a shortcut for special characters that could be invoked on long press....

While the device is yet to be officially blessed with the Android 13 update but we already have the support of two custom ROMs with the latest OS build. However, in some instances, a custom ROM might not be in sync with your requirement or a few apps or services might not be working in this customized ecosystem. In all these cases, the best bet is to restore your Nothing Phone 1 from Custom ROM to Stock....

This file will be then patched via Magisk, giving us the magisk_patched.tar file. We will then boot your Samsung device to Download Mode and flash this patched AP file (magisk_patched.tar) via Odin. Finally, we will list out the steps to boot your device to the rooted OS and carry out a few optional tweaks. We have also prepared separate guides for each of these steps. So if you are a newcomer then it is highly recommended that you check out each of those guides as well (we will be linking them to this guide at the required places)....

The latter two are possible by rooting your device via Magisk. This in turn could be carried out via two different methods. The first one involves the direct flashing of the Magisk App (yes, that’s what it is called now, beginning with version 22) via TWRP Recovery. However, not everyone prefers this approach, some out of choice, others out of compulsion. The latter set of users are those whose device doesn’t have an active custom recovery (which by the way is no longer the case with this device)....

This device is among the many budget devices that Realme has to offer to the masses. The 6.4 inches Super AMOLED screen has a 1080 x 2340 pixel resolution and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, you get an octa-core Qualcomm SDM712 Snapdragon 712 (10 nm) chipset. On the gaming front, you get an Adreno 616 GPU. There are three different variants of this device: 64GB 4GB RAM, 64GB 6GB RAM, 128GB 8GB RAM....

The mid-rangers from Samsung have appealed to the masses and in some style. In this regard, the M21 is no different either. In countries like India, it has always occupied among the top spot in the buyer’s preference list. When you are getting a device that tick marks all the required necessities and OneUI as the underlying OS skin without burning a hole in your pockets, then the device’s rise to fame is no hidden secret....

While these are no doubt quite appreciatable, but for the tech enthusiasts, it might still not be enough to checkmark all the prerequisites. And we can’t blame them either! Once you unlock the device’s bootloader and step into custom development, there is literally a plentitude of tweaks to try out. From flashing custom ROMs to installing a custom recovery, the possibilities stand endless. Likewise, you could also gain administrative privileges by rooting your device....

Having administrative access gives you the gateway to access most of the files and folders on your PC, but not all. And the temp folder lies in the second category. So you will have to take ownership of the Temp folder on your Windows 11 PC. Once you do so, you will be in a position to access the contents of that folder, delete or modify the files that it beholds, or even change its permissions....

What is Bootloader? According to Google “A bootloader is a vendor-proprietary image responsible for bringing up the kernel on a device. It guards the device state and is responsible for initializing the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and binding its root of trust”. Confused? So am I! let us leave all this aside. In simpler terms, a Bootloader is a software that runs every time your phone boots (start). It contains a set of instructions that tells the device which program to load at what instance....

But if we really ask the users, some are of the opinion that they would instead prefer to use a compact device that fits in their palm. If you are also on the lookout for one such smartphone, then Jelly 2 might checkmark most of your requirements. It boasts of an exciting USP, being the “world’s smallest Android 10 4G smartphone”. With a 3-inch screen, global LTE support, 2000mAh battery, and the size of a credit card, there’s a lot to look forward to....

However, one issue still remains- the underlying OS skin will still be the same bloated MIUI with tons of baked-in ads. This is a big no for various users, and rightly so. Well, there’s now an opportunity for you to bid adieu to the MIUI skin and welcome a new customized firmware that is much better in performance, optimization, UI, and is also based on the latest Android version. So without any further ado, let’s check out the steps to install the Android 12 ROM onto Xiaomi Mi 10T/10T Pro....
