But it is avoidable. Before the visitor/reader clicks the back button or close the window/browser's tab, thus leaving our site forever, we may want to redirect 404 error in Blogger to a page, where are chances that the visitor will continue reading our blog.<br /> <br /> One of the most used methods is the "<b>meta refresh</b>" but the problem with this method is that it breaks navigation (doesn't allow returning back). In this case, the best method is by using Javascript which will be shown below.<br /> <br /> <h2> Redirect Blogger 404 Error with Javascript</h2> <br /> First of all, go to your Blogger dashboard and then to <b>Settings</b> > <b>Search preferences</b> > <b>Custom Page Not Found</b>.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;">   <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtt51hjkRtwNfV5N2053gEOFbTkqydjcnmTjNEs4iJ9s7MeF1eXGCbxDChdrjxS2aZqSNJ4BxIDAGHBILnflmcYaYNhjFR7-qH-3hjx65htc0HqyfTCaDYGGN43idw_VVbctc1vATMQJM/s1600/blogger-404-error.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtt51hjkRtwNfV5N2053gEOFbTkqydjcnmTjNEs4iJ9s7MeF1eXGCbxDChdrjxS2aZqSNJ4BxIDAGHBILnflmcYaYNhjFR7-qH-3hjx65htc0HqyfTCaDYGGN43idw_VVbctc1vATMQJM/s1600/blogger-404-error.png" /></a></div> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <h3> <b>Copy and paste the following code:</b></h3> <h3> </h3> <blockquote> <b>Sorry, the page you're looking for in this blog does not exist.</b><br /> <b>You will be redirected to homepage shortly.</b><br /> <script type = "text/javascript"><br /> BSPNF_redirect = setTimeout(function() {<br /> location.<b><i>pathname</i></b>= "<span style="color: blue;">/</span>"<br /> }, 5000); <br /> </script></blockquote> The message which is going to be displayed can be edited as you want. If you are willing to redirect your blog 404 error page to another page other than your home page, just replace <b><i>pathname</i></b> to <b><i>href</i></b> and <span style="color: blue;"><b><i>/</i></b></span> with the url of your page. And finally, the number 5000 is the delay expressed in milliseconds. You can edit any value if this is more convenient.<br /> <br /> Next thing to do is to save all changes made in this section and do a little test to check if the code works well. You can enter a nonexistent URL on your blog, and see if the 404 error page added previously appears, followed by a redirection after 5 seconds. That's it! </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i><b>Culled From <a href="http://helplogger.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Help Blogger</a></b></i></div>

Microsoft Launch Remote Desktop for Android and iOS

<div style="text-align: justify;"> Microsoft launch <i><b>Microsoft Remote Desktop for Android and iOS</b></i>, for the first time bringing the Windows desktop to phones and tablets. One of the most surprising parts of the announcement, which also included a revamped Mac app, was that a Windows Phone version was nowhere to be seen.<br /><br />Microsoft today confirmed with <a href="http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2013/10/19/microsoft-confirms-working-remote-desktop-app-windows-phone/" target="_blank">TNW</a> that a Windows Phone app is on its way. Unfortunately, the company wouldn’t say when to expect it.<br /><br />“Remote desktop on phones is a relatively rare usage scenario,” a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement. “That said, we are working on a version of the app for Windows Phone. We’ll be able to share time-frame at a later point in time.”</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd7HRrN3bFklloU8OASi_iZdqavPCvTW7EJN6Xie4xd000wTYWRUlW46EQcEPXRREnrNe7DnMx9HCiD0PY_tjbSwlfMLjtPP8Zaf3iAK1MeiMQmxZQtfAyJIxWMKimJtttdIv67OWiDY4/s1600/Windows+Phone.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd7HRrN3bFklloU8OASi_iZdqavPCvTW7EJN6Xie4xd000wTYWRUlW46EQcEPXRREnrNe7DnMx9HCiD0PY_tjbSwlfMLjtPP8Zaf3iAK1MeiMQmxZQtfAyJIxWMKimJtttdIv67OWiDY4/s400/Windows+Phone.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Microsoft’s first sentence attempts to explain why Windows Phone wasn’t included in the launch, but it just falls short. It’s definitely an accurate point: phones aren’t ideal for remote desktop access as they have significantly smaller screens than tablets or computers.<br /><br />Yet third-party apps do indeed exist for phones. The reason is simple: sometimes you don’t want to do a lot on your desktop. Sometimes all you need to do is check a file or run a program, and you’re back on your way. Sometimes, the frustration of a small screen is next to nonexistent as long as you get to accomplish your task.</div> <br /><div style="text-align: justify;"> <i><b>~ Culled From</b> <a href="http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2013/10/19/microsoft-confirms-working-remote-desktop-app-windows-phone/" target="_blank"><b>TNW</b></a></i> <b>~</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i><b>~ Image Credits:<a href="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/windows-phone-8-start-screens.jpg&w=1567&h=1000&ei=Z7NiUsnQFJG-4APGuIHwBQ&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:2,s:0,i:93&iact=rc&page=1&tbnh=179&tbnw=281&start=0&ndsp=8&tx=63&ty=53" target="_blank"> XtremeTech </a></b></i>~</div>

Top 10 Android Home Screen Launchers

<div style="text-align: justify;"> I have always argued the fact that the Android surpass iOS because of the serious lack of customization options not found on the #iOSplatform. This is due to the lack of third-party #developers, as the iOS owners forbids aesthetic changes to their products. Today, I am going to highlight the fascinating customization one can do on the Android device with the home screen launchers.<br /><br />Home screen launchers are third-party applications that install over your default/stock Android home screen, giving your device a different look and feel. They bring boundless customization options to the table and this is an app that no iOS user will ever be able to use on iPhones.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;">  </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXpP0pSz589vBEQz5jrJs8EsA3PydGcpqzG2BN-pW-TKfX5sbdXYsjTX_ea-eeJBm6NtWLebmysdP-WO0my1YPhzGmLNQUVqQJ2B8CNeIjGveQ1jvXgshWVhB-oz9Ywo6QPKlDjJydI8U/s1600/Full+Screen+Launcher+Pro.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXpP0pSz589vBEQz5jrJs8EsA3PydGcpqzG2BN-pW-TKfX5sbdXYsjTX_ea-eeJBm6NtWLebmysdP-WO0my1YPhzGmLNQUVqQJ2B8CNeIjGveQ1jvXgshWVhB-oz9Ywo6QPKlDjJydI8U/s640/Full+Screen+Launcher+Pro.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> If you are apprehensive about taking the full leap into a totally unfamiliar territory, you need not worry, the non-free launchers offer free trials and free versions to get your feet wet. Therefore, you can try out some different options before deciding to buy one, choose a free option, or stick with the stock Android home screen. The only disadvantage to any of the free launchers is third-party ads. <br /><br /><h4> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://xclusivetechblog.blogspot.com/2013/10/how-to-block-ads-in-android-apps-games.html" target="_blank">See how to Disable ads on #AndroidApps</a></span></b></span></h4> </div> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"> Top 10 Android launchers:</h3> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nd.android.launcher91" target="_blank">91 Launcher (free):</a></b> Aside from the 91 built-in themes (hence the name) this launcher provides wallpapers, new page transitions, and quick drawer transitions. It has the typical widgets pre-installed like the clock and weather, but it also offers extended widget options like a flashlight and one-key garbage cleanup.<br /><br /><b><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher" target="_blank">ADWLauncher EX ($3.00)</a>:</b> Compatible with Android versions 1.6 through 4.1, ADWLauncherEX differs from its counterpart ADW.Launcher in that it has 10 different 3D app drawer styles, icon configuration, one-click save feature, and backup and restoration options should you need it. It has security features too. You can password-protect all apps on the Apps Drawer.<br /><br /><b><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.everything.launcher&hl=en" target="_blank">Everything Home (free)</a>:</b> Do not be put off by the fact that Everything Home is still in beta: this is the freshest new face on the block. If you type in sushi, your phone will instantly display relevant locations, apps, and themes. This same seamless adaptation applies to everything, even James Bond.<br /><br /><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime&hl=en" target="_blank"><b>Go Launcher EX (free)</b></a>: This Android launcher has been around since the beginning and is currently the <br />number one (1) choice of over 100+ million android users.

You can add the live tiles like its done in a Windows phone, but you can customize the default blue background by theming it woody style, or adding widgets as tiles.<br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gtp.nextlauncher" target="_blank">Next Launcher 3D ($15.99</a>):</b> The philosophy behind this launcher is to ditch the 2D. Aside from being one of the most heavily customizable options on the list, the 3D effects and dazzling screen switches are mind-blowing. Combine different themes to suit your fancy and fully customize all app icons to master your new home screen.<br /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Nova Launcher Prime ($4.00):</b> Nova remains one of the most productive launchers on the list. It hits on all <br />the aforementioned features, like themes, widgets, and transitions, but it excels in the world of organization. The launcher is performance driven to reduce lag, and it features clutter removal, drawer groups, and a top-notch notification extension.<br /><br /><b><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.flowerpro&feature=more_from_developer" target="_blank">Smart Launcher Pro ($3.99)</a>:</b> Elegantly simple, Smart Launcher Pro is a minimalist interface which allows <br />users to launch any application with only a few keys.

How to Block Ads in Android Apps, Games And Browsers

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv1H2FhjLmh632yGaDtpKhJpiNh4CNay5bgKW8JcM4OzPXdlWzVfJ1NXMjwtPtqUtDLeXYthcNRlAp9S46fpgnqX3vsDntMP13YN2m7OM2X8IHrBdggxFP7C5aRgvgr_kzMn2k4cxnNhTH/s1600/6-Adblock-Plus-settings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Many websites and applications are provide free service, free content and free software because someone else is paying them to keep them up. Thus, the service provider has to serve ads to you in return for the income that is keeping them in business, and in development for updates of the apps and so on. As the user, you reap the benefit of using the product for free. Someone summarized Ads as a Necessary Evil.<br /><br />Sometimes the ad placements can be really annoying, contributing to not-so-appealing user experience. So, in today's post we will look at how to block ads from showing up on #Android devices. You can block ads from appearing in apps and games and also on browsers.<br /><br />These methods may work for both rooted and non-rooted devices. The methods will be specified for each type of android device (rooted and non-rooted). Before we begin, you need a <b>File Manager</b>, e.g. <b>ES file Explore</b>r, <b>Astro File Manager</b> or any other file manager.<br /><br />Disclaimer: Ad-blocking is solely at your own risk. We cannot be held responsible for any effects on your device resulting from these methods. This tutorial is for those who really find ads annoying. So, if you are in this category, lets rock!!!<br /><br /><h3> 1. Adblock Plus (ABP)</h3> <br />This method uses ad-blockers (apps) to block all ads in your device, including the ads shown in installed apps and games. There are many ad-blockers for Android, thanks to the ever-growing Android developers but we are gonna rely on Adblock Plus. The top two would be Adblock Plus (ABP) and AdAway; <br /><br /><h3> How to Use Adblock Plus</h3> <br />We’re using Adblock Plus: an open source project that has the option to allow non-intrusive ads. This method works for both rooted and non-rooted devices. Installing an ad-blocker app requires your device to allow applications from unknown sources.<br /><br />Sideloading is required to continue. Google removed ad-block apps from #GooglePlayStore and that means you need to sideload any ad-blocker, i.e. install ad-blockers using its .APK file and not from downloading it from Google Play Store.<br /><br /><b>Follow the steps below to set this configuration:</b><br /><br />    Go to <b>Settings</b> >> <b>Applications</b> (or <b>Security</b> on 4.0 and above) on your Android device.<br />    Navigate to the >> <b>Unknown Sources</b> option.<br />    If unchecked, tap the <b>Checkbox</b>, and then tap >> <b>OK</b> on the <b>Confirmation Pop-up</b>.<br /><br />Good!! Your Android device is now ready to install ad-blockers.<br /><br /><h3> Installing And Configuring Adblock Plus</h3> <br /><b>Step 1.</b> Open a browser in your device and download Adblock Plus for Android. Your device will receive the APK file: <a href="http://adblockplus.org/en/android-install" target="_blank">adblockplusandroid-version.apk</a>. You can get from this link: <a href="http://adblockplus.org/en/android-install" target="_blank">Adblock Plus </a><br /><br /><b>Step 2.</b> Navigate to where your downloaded files are kept (or if saved from your PC to your SD Card, you will find it in your SD Card using the File Explorer), then tap on the <b>file and install</b>. (If you open the APK file using a file manager, select <b>Open App Manager</b> and then click on <b>Install.</b>)<br /><br /><b>Step 3.</b> <b>For #rooteddevices:</b> after installing, open Adblock Plus. It will request for super user permissions. Allow super user permissions to Adblock Plus and you are good to go.<br /><br /><b>Step 3.</b> <b>For #non-rooteddevices:</b> you need a few more steps, to manually set up proxy in your Android. You will need to follow the instructions here as instructions are different for Android versions up to 3.1 and 4.0+.s<br /><br />Now Adblock Plus will start blocking ads. You can <b>set more options</b> in Adblock Plus like ads filter lists, non-intrusive ads, etc in <b>Settings</b>.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Gw5ZgfX_-QAocVmsNZbjb1hBatHDJg4AYSLYtzhGhwwwaut-1t9EHyF1ojZefk6vKRQKmOpoEQYsc9ujJ3_LUDdgVNDyZpImgilzV48SRgQg7UE-xeqp-g1-NmyiUtd0nI4p19RLk2Oa/s1600/6-Adblock-Plus-settings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="353" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Gw5ZgfX_-QAocVmsNZbjb1hBatHDJg4AYSLYtzhGhwwwaut-1t9EHyF1ojZefk6vKRQKmOpoEQYsc9ujJ3_LUDdgVNDyZpImgilzV48SRgQg7UE-xeqp-g1-NmyiUtd0nI4p19RLk2Oa/s400/6-Adblock-Plus-settings.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /><h3> Adblock Plus – Browser Extension</h3> <br />Adblock Plus is also available as a browser extension for Firefox. With this method, only the ads shown on web pages inside the browser are blocked. Ads in apps or games are not affected. This method works for both rooted and non-rooted devices.<br /><br /><h3> Setting Up Adblock Plus (Extension)</h3> <br />1. First you need to get <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox" target="_blank"><b>Firefox App</b></a>. If dont have Firefox as a browser on your Android yet, <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox" target="_blank">get it here</a>. Run the browser on your device and go to the Adblock Plus add-on here. Add it to Firefox and<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox" target="_blank"><b> Install it</b></a>.<br /><br />2. Restart Firefox and browse ad-free. You can set more options in Adblock Plus by going to the <b>Menu > Adblock Plus</b> and going through the options you can configure.<br />2. Block Ads using ‘hosts’ file<br /><br />This method uses ‘hosts’ file to block ads. This method blocks all ads in your device, including the ones shown in various apps and games but works only for rooted devices.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /><h3> What is a ‘hosts’ file?</h3> <br />‘hosts’ file is a plain-text file in an operating system to map hostnames (like anything.com) to its IP address. Whenever you try to launch a website using its hostname, the operating system will usually search the ‘hosts’ file to find the corresponding IP address first.<br /><br />If the search is successful, then its mapped IP address is used; otherwise a query is sent to DNS (Domain Name Service) to find the IP address of that hostname.<br /><h3> Setting Up ‘hosts’ file</h3> <b><br />1. On the computer, open MVPS</b> (or pgl.yoyo.org or hostfile.mine.nu) on your browser. A plain-text page will open. Save this page as the name hosts in the computer.<b> </b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj03BqCNSI91I8GeAcJM3Zii0Xkb1O8PrCPeq-XKXZklmc7BPHQm3gthFKxhkv5WXz9kOkgc3-og4eYx7-ZXfc_nhBqRxBzHZIRAPemFVijVIAf0bOHNCzfj408FpISsnMnqqlyw2aRZKwy/s1600/2-hosts-file.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj03BqCNSI91I8GeAcJM3Zii0Xkb1O8PrCPeq-XKXZklmc7BPHQm3gthFKxhkv5WXz9kOkgc3-og4eYx7-ZXfc_nhBqRxBzHZIRAPemFVijVIAf0bOHNCzfj408FpISsnMnqqlyw2aRZKwy/s400/2-hosts-file.jpg" width="311" /></a></div> </b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b> </b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>2.
