Why Applocking software isn't useful

I'm publishing this post to state a few points to say that on Android Applocking software should not be trusted. On Android versions 4.1+ Android features a feature called Safe-Mode that disables all third party applications that are on the device, to include KIK, GTA VC, Hulu Plus, and Applock. Even when the you grant Applock device administration you still can bypass Applock by simply booting into Safe-Mode and deactivating device administration, this is a problem because any Applocking software can be disabled!

Also, owners of devices with unlocked bootloaders can be at risk of all security measures before encryption can be disabled! Simply flashing the appropriate TWRP recovery for your device or by using a recovery or .zip with a file manager is at risk of data being stolen if lost or stolen. If you boot the device into recovery and navigate to data/system and delete locksettings.db and all files called locksettings and delete gesture.key and password.key or .db. Then reboot then you should have an unlocked device!

ALL MODIFICATIONS ARE DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Keep in mind that I'm on an AOSP ROM so your steps may vary!

Why the Nexus 7 is the best 7" tablet.

  The Nexus 7 is described as powerful and the best bang for buck. Many users describe the Nexus 7 as being exactly that, a device with a budget price and having lots of SPEED and not to mention always having the latest major Android release.

  The Nexus 7 (2012) offers a nVidia Tegra 3 CPU which in 2012 the Tegra 3 chipset was arguably the most talked about chipset but without LTE it was a drawback to Qualcomm S4. I can't give my opinion to the Nexus 7 (2013) as I don't own this model but I do intend on upgrading only for the unlocked LTE, which by the way is making my mouth water and the HSPA+ with S4 Pro the icing on the cake. I do like tablet however, it has very poor NAND chips that frequently need TRIM to run on them to keep the buttery smooth performance. Also, I recommend Paranoid Android with the Franco Kernel for the best performance and battery life combo. While I still like my One XL I do think about getting a LTE Nexus 7 and use that because KIK is being used more often than the stock messaging app. Also, KIT KAT is going to be a tasty update that I believe should be given to the Nexus S as a bed for it to rest.

Nexus 7 LAG FIX

   The 2012 Nexus 7 is a little over a year old and many users often complain about massive LAG in the UI and using applications. Before their were only 2 solutions and both of them involved removing data from the device, factory reset, and deleting items when the onboard storage reaches below 3GB. The problem can be fixed by running TRIM which is run automatically in Android 4.3, but if you don't want to update you can try can awesome app that can run TRIM automatically or on demand and that app is called LAGFIX(fstrim).

 TRIM wipes block data that the storage no longer uses. Another thing is think about is, can an iOS device run TRIM? Or does Apple not allow TRIM so you can feel like you NEED to upgrade your slow device? Android on the other hand isn't like this. I think that's another piece of information that Android is more advanced than iOS. Period.

Why Tegra 3 OC isn't needed

  Sorry viewers :( I abandoned my blog after less than 6 months of usage however, I haven't realized the important message the blog has had and it's own importance to me in spreading the word about things that some may say meh it doesn't matter or things like WOW that simply rocks.

      So, many devices like HTC's previous flagship the ONE X (Endeavor) or Google's own Nexus 7 feature the Tegra 3 chipset and I feel that it simply doesn't need to be overclocked. For example, we can overclock the Nexus 7 up to 1.7GHZ yet, to see our benchmark scores go up a few FPS or shave .001 of a second from app launches but honestly I feel it's just not needed for a Quad core CPU and 12 GPU to be overclocked due to many risk that not only affect warranty (Thanks HTC) and long term usage.
   
       Many devices with Tegra 3 are throttled when heat levels exceed a certain temperature and the device begins throttling it's self to maybe 800 MHZ and/or taking some CPU cores offline to protect from heat damage. There is a solution to this called undervolting, however undervolting can cause long term usage problems and short terms problems that can be fixed with a simple battery pull. For example my old Samsung Captivate when it's undervolted when running @ 800 MHZ it simply crashes but a much higher frequency 1.5 GHZ uses when undervolted has to use less power due to what I believe is caused by the die on the CPU meaning that my phone will crash when undervolting @800MHZ but not at 1.5GHZ no matter how high or low my MV is.
