Android Tweaker Is A Great Modding app

Since the app makes changes at system level, it requires root access and therefore, your device must be rooted in order to use it. 

Coming back to the app itself, Android Tweaker is meant to operate in the current OS, rather than coming in form of a zip file that you have to flash from a custom recovery. In fact the app lets you natively create full nandroid backups from within the OS as well. 

As with most performance enhancing, tweaking, hacking and modding tools, it is preferable to take a full backup of your current Android ROM before applying any tweaks, so that you can safely revert everything back to the way it originally was in case things don’t work according to plan.

Also, as the app will itself tell you, playing around with settings or mods you’re unaware of can lead to unexpected behavior or at worse, mess up your ROM and require a reflashing. Therefore, it is suggested that you gain sufficient knowledge about a tweak and its implications on performance before applying it.

The app’s neat Holo UI helps accessing its dozens of different options from under their categorized tabs with ease. Let’s have a quick look at the various categories and the tweaks offered in each of them by Android Tweaker.

Note: The Init.d tweaks are meant to run on a ROM with a kernel that supports Init.d scripts. If your ROM/kernel doesn’t support these scripts, you can avail the Init.d Installation support feature provided under the Tools tab.

The bottom section of each tab offers you a couple of reboot options – Soft Reboot & Normal Reboot – that can be used to ensure that the selected changes are implemented effectively. Just to be on the safe side, double-check the changes you’re looking to implement prior to hitting the reboot button.

Android Tweaker was successfully tested on HTC Desire Z running Android 4.0.4-based AOKP custom ROM. The app might be a bit short on features compared to Pimp My ROM, but the developer plans to introduce many more tweaks in the coming updates, so keep checking back at the source link below.

Android Tweaker is available in the Play Store as both an ad-supported free version and $1.86 ad-free variant. Besides removing ads, the paid version brings the following additional features to the table:

How to Use Your Android Device as a Security Camera part 1

If you want to monitor your home or business while you’re away, you’re going to need an Internet-connected camera. However, if you have an old smartphone that’s sitting around gathering dust, an old tablet that has lost its luster or an Android stick with a webcam like the Measy U2C, you can turn it into an always-on, wireless camera with minimal hassle. Here’s how to turn your Android device into a security camera.

1. Download AtHome Video Streamer.. There are a number of different security camera apps available, including IP Webcam, which also offers great free streaming. However, it’s more difficult to view video from outside your local network with that app

2. Swipe past all the introductory screens until you see the Start Now button, which is on the fourth screen.

3. Tap the Start Now button. You will see a live camera view screen.

4. Tap the menu button in the upper left corner.

5. Tap Change Password. 

6. Enter a custom username and password and tap Save.

7. Tap Back to return to the camera screen.

8. Write down the CID code, which is located in the upper right corner of the screen.

9. Position your device in the location you want it to monitor and make sure it is propped up with its primary camera facing outward. If you don’t have a dock, Toddy Gear makes a $15 bean-bag stand called the Wedge which can prop up any smartphone in landscape or portrait orientation.

How to Use Your Android Device as a Security Camera PART 2

 AFTER YOU HAVE POSITION UR DEVICE

View Your Wireless Camera

Once you have the camera set up, you’ll want to view it from another device. By installing the viewer application, you can keep track of up to five cameras from another phone or tablet. Unfortunately, you can only view from an Android or iOS device, not from a Windows PC or Mac. To view your camera stream on an Android device:

1. Download AtHome Camera

 

2. Tap Add in the upper right corner and select By CID.

3. Enter the CID, username and password from the device you’re using as a camera, toggle on Remember Me and tap Save.

4. Tap on the camera icon to connect to the remote account.

5. Select the camera you wish to view. If you have only one camera on the account, it will be the top camera.

You will see a view from the camera you selected. Using the controls at the bottom of the screen, you can capture stills, switch between front and back cameras (if the device has both) or turn the flash on / off for extra lighting.

Download: Latest Google Play Store 4.5.10 With Shared Play Store Activity, IAP Indicator, And More

It's that time again - Google has pushed out an update to the Play Store with plenty of enticing new features. We've got the APK, so after a brief rundown of some of the more notable features (we'll scour the APK in the coming days for any hidden goodies), we'll give you a link to download the app for yourself.

What's New?

One of the most exciting features packed into the 4.5.10 update is an indicator for in-app purchases. This seems to be more of a binary yes-or-no indicator (it won't give you insight into cost or quantity of IAPs), but it's great to see some kind of indication of whether the app you're about to download will be asking you to make further transactions.

The update also brings some tweaks to the review process and its related layouts. First, the Play Store's got a new layout for viewing your own review, and a large five-star selector if you've yet to rate an app. There's also an explicit "Edit" button, which should make the ability to edit your review a little more obvious. 

 

Unlike previous versions of the Play Store, 4.5.10 allows users to delete their reviews as well. Oh, and the stars have been changed too - they're now green, sans outline, and a bit sharper. Update: We didn't catch this originally, but it turns out the stars are colored according to what category they belong to - Books has blue stars, Movies & TV has red stars, etc. Thanks Nicholas for pointing this out!

Across all reviews (your own included), avatar images are now encapsulated in circles rather than squares. This is a small touch, but brings the app a little closer to its web counterpart.

Elsewhere, some information and typography (related to devices, users' names, and versions) have been adjusted. .

Another addition to the Play Store is an activity feed. Essentially, the Play Store will now allow you to view and share a stream of your Play Store activity with others, all connected to your Google+ profile. This feed will show your +1s, ratings, etc. and allow you to click through to G+ profiles as well.

  

The Play Store is also a bit more forward in providing recommendations and encouraging users to rate items, offering up items with huge star selectors to enhance the store's suggestions for future content. To further aid you in discovering new apps or games that you'll like, the Play Store will include items rated by your G+ contacts, and will float those contacts' reviews to the top in individual listings.

 

The APK is signed by Google and upgrades your existing Play Store. The cryptographic signature guarantees that the file is safe to install and was not tampered with in any way. Rather than wait for Google to push this download to your devices, which can take weeks, download and install it just like any other APK and enjoy the new Play Store experience.
