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.

5 reasons to try Ubuntu or Linux

                            5 reasons why you should dual boot Ubuntu

1. Linux is mainly free and open source so distro's like Ubuntu which is Debian based often developers will encourage donations before a download. So what is it price isn't stopping you so why not try Ubuntu its Debian based.

2. Speed Ubuntu is very fast and it is nothing like Windows and people often forget about Linux period but it ran faster from a USB stick rather than running from my HDD which surprised me as Ubuntu can be as minimal as you want it and it is netbook friendly. Also Linux can use different desktop environments so you can use Unity or Cinnamon. With Linux you can change every aspect of it like the vm.swappines=10 I personally recommend setting this to 10 to keep it running fast.

3. Viruses Ubuntu and any other Linux environment does not get PC viruses as Linux's permission system is very different from Windows if a program wants to write something or install something you are granted to enter you're password for the program to access things which is a piece of mind. Linux is a safe environment for public computers or computers for children as you don't have to worry about viruses as Microsoft does secure PCs however it is up to the user to install the programs that Microsoft offers.

4. Maintenance as Linux uses EXT3 or EXT2 or FAT32 for USB sticks to boot but using EXT partition by using Linux you don't have to defragment you're hard drive only if you are around 80% full which then you will see some fragmentation. No antivirus is needed only on you're Windows partition.

5. Requirements Ubuntu ran fine on a single core Intel Atom and continued to run fine and Ubuntu will run stable at 256 MHZ of RAM and will run fast just like any other PC at any higher amount. Ubuntu really does run fast it is just a matter of trying it.

                  This was not to be written to "bash" on Windows because Linux can't game like Windows can and gaming is still popular on Windows and IT professionals still use Windows so try it odds are you'll like it.

How to speed up you're Android Phone

 ROOTING OR INSTALLING CUSTOM FIRMWARE ON YOU'RE DEVICE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO.
       
            This is an article on How to super charge you're Android phone. The article can be found in Maximum PC magazine the March 2011 issue.

           First thing first the device used in this article is was a Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket which is quite old but is certainly no slouch. This article gives a few details such as installing a custom recovery image to install Cyanogen Mod and does involve rooting which is not universal for every device on the market as not every device runs the same security features and the same version of Android.
     
         To install a custom Rom on newer Samsung Galaxy devices requires a PC and a USB data cable as well as an Internet connection. To install a custom Rom you will need to find the correct kernel image that contains a custom recovery such as ClockworkMod recovery or any recovery based on CWM the last 2 programs you will need are Odin Or Heimall these are you're flashing programs but be advised about a few things as Odin is Windows only and Heimdall can be used on OSX, Windows, or Linux but in Windows drivers installed for Heimdall can only be used in Heimdall and for the easiest way on Flashing in Heimdall use Heimdall-Frontend as that is the GUI for Heimdall. If you are new to flashing firmware or anything always pay attention to the instructions and NEVER FLASH A BOOT LOADER as a bad bootloader flash will literally make you're device a paper weight.
     
        So if you don't want to flash custom firmware there are still a couple of tips you can use with or without rooting your device. The first way of speeding up you're device is to manage you're tasks and avoid applications that require services to constantly stay running Android has a built in way of managing those applications as any device running 2.2 or higher applications have the right to run at start up. To get you're running tasks goto Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Running and you will see the running services on you're device you may chose which applications you don't running. However this can be a time consuming task to avoid doing this down Advance Task Killer when you have it installed go to home and add the widget and tap the widget to close running applications and voila feel a faster device with better battery life.
     -->          The next way speeding up you're device is to install the V6 super charger to install it you will have to root you're device and install Busy Box. To install a script is going to be pretty tricky on a stock Rom as certain mods only work on custom Roms. To install Busy Box head over to the Play Store and install Busy Box the latest version is recommended now and allow when it request root rights then go to the Play Store and download Script Manager and locate the script and only run as root then follow the instructions and reboot to apply the changes.
