Create a Custom Contact Form For Blogger Blogs- By MBT

<div style="text-align: justify;"> Today, I am going to share with you a Custom Contact Form by <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2013/05/Create-Custom-Contact-Form.html" target="_blank">MBT</a> for Blogger Blogs. Learn how to customize Contact Form input fields, how to add icons to it, how to add a "Clear Button" and play several tricks with your custom form. This form is built using XHTML Get or Post Methods unlike PHP Forms which are used widely today. </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/AVvXsEjNkwUmzq07wgAQK87AkAUFtQ9o-EColqT4wmix9j4XrsQJkxjV1InSJPd6QcHUz3yCyxjJkXQsvDDr4zNIvNG8-mA82Ye1GTv7W73LK4yfefmTMDLNyYLNih13-Vu-nzepon1TNj3IVMYE/s1600/Blogger+Contact+Form.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNkwUmzq07wgAQK87AkAUFtQ9o-EColqT4wmix9j4XrsQJkxjV1InSJPd6QcHUz3yCyxjJkXQsvDDr4zNIvNG8-mA82Ye1GTv7W73LK4yfefmTMDLNyYLNih13-Vu-nzepon1TNj3IVMYE/s1600/Blogger+Contact+Form.png" /></a></div> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <h3> 3. Customizing The Contact Form - The Fun Part!</h3> Now you will need to create a <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="static">Static Page</a></b> where we will add the HTML code for our new contact form. <br /> <ol> <li>Go To blogger > <b>Pages </b></li> <li>Choose a Blank Page </li> <li>Give it any title you like. I recommend "<i>Contact Us</i>" </li> <li>Switch to its HTML mode and paste the following HTML code inside it: </li> </ol> <blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <div class='form'> <br /> <!-- Custom Contact Form By MBT Starts --><br /> <form name='contact-form'><br /> <b><!-- Name Field --></b><br /> <input class='contact-form-name' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-name' name='name' value="Name" size='30' type='text' onblur='if (this.value == &quot;&quot;) {this.value = &quot;Name&quot;;}' onfocus='if (this.value == &quot;Name&quot;) {this.value = &quot;&quot;;}' /> <br /> <p></p><br /> <b><!-- Email ID Field --></b><br /> <input class='contact-form-email' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-email' name='email' value="Email ID"  size='30' type='text' onblur='if (this.value == &quot;&quot;) {this.value = &quot;Email ID&quot;;}' onfocus='if (this.value == &quot;Email ID&quot;) {this.value = &quot;&quot;;}'/> <br /> <p></p><br /> <b><!-- Message Field --></b><br /> <textarea class='contact-form-email-message'  id='ContactForm1_contact-form-email-message' name='email-message'  value='Leave Your Message..'  onblur='if (this.value == &quot;&quot;) {this.value = &quot;Leave Your Message..&quot;;}' onfocus='if (this.value == &quot;Leave Your Message..&quot;) {this.value = &quot;&quot;;}'></textarea> <br /> <p></p><br /> <b><!-- Clear Button --></b> <br /> <input class='contact-form-button contact-form-button-submit MBT-button-color' type='reset' value='Clear'/>  <br /> <b><!-- Send Button --></b>  <br /> <input class='contact-form-button contact-form-button-submit MBT-button-color' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-submit' type='button' value='Send'/> <br /> <p></p><br /> <b><!-- Validation --></b> <br /> <div style='text-align: center; max-width: 222px; width: 100%'> <br /> <p class='contact-form-error-message' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-error-message'></p> <br /> <p class='contact-form-success-message' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-success-message'></p> <br /> </div> <br /> </form><br /> <!-- Custom Contact Form By MBT Ends --> <br /> </div></blockquote> </blockquote> <br />     5.  Don't switch to Compose Mode of your Blogger Editor else the code will get messed up due to your Editor settings. Save and Publish your Page. <br /> <!-- adsense -->    Now if you visit your contact page you will see the default contact form with blue button. Its time to customize its default styles.<br /> <h5> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Customizing The Form:</span></span></h5> <ol> <li>Go To Blogger > <b>Template </b></li> <li>Backup your Template </li> <li>Click "Edit HTML" </li> <li>Search for <b></head></b>  and just above it paste the following CSS code:</li> </ol> <blockquote> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <style><br /> /*---- <b>Compatible contact Form by MBT</b> -----*/ <br /> .contact-form-name, .contact-form-email, .contact-form-email-message { <br /> max-width: 220px;

How To Get Your Page Discovered On Facebook

And unless you spend some money on promotions (which increases the target audience percentage), chances are that you you’ll be struggling to reach even a fraction of your potential. Today, we’ll share some tips that could help you increase your page’s potential without having to pay anything.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"> <b>1. Complete Page Info:</b></h3> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Yes, the first and the foremost (and the most obvious) step. Do not under-estimate it though. Small details matter. Fill out each and every piece of information that is available, and make your page complete. This will not only help people find your content more easily, it will also tell them more about your business/page, which will ultimately drive engagement.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Information you must add includes Category and description, Address, business hours, contact information, web addresses, profile/cover photos, and so on. Make sure you do this before moving on to the next step.</div> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"> <!-- adsense --> <b>2. Spread the word</b></h3> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Try to reach out to people. Invite your friends to like your page, and visit it often too. Tell them to invite their friends as well. The more the merrier. If you’re a business, make use of your email lists, and invite them to Facebook. Reach out to as many human beings as you possibly can – only a few would respond. Use that as your base for further growth.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Also urge them to visit your page frequently, because if you visit a Facebook Page frequently, the Facebook EdgeRank algorithm will kick in, and will ‘unblock’ broadcasts from that page for you. Otherwise, these updates are only visible to a small percentage. Talking to people personally is a great way to get their attention.</div> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"> <b>3. Maximise</b><b> the use of Newsfeed</b> </h3> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It goes without saying that the newsfeed is the most important thing on Facebook. People interact with the things on their newsfeed – give them a reason to interact with yours. This can be achieved by interesting shares, use of compelling images (extremely important), concise, easy to understand text, and more.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> You can also make use of humor, but keep it strictly family safe. People don’t interact with things they might like, but are not comfortable showing up on their walls. So keep it universal. Important observation: Compare this method with the more aggressive style of using controversial debates as conversation starters. They get people’s attention just as quickly, and people want to interact with such posts, if only to ridicule or defend/attack another.</div> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"> <b> 4. Evaluate Your Page Performance </b></h3> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Monitoring what types of posts are getting good responses is key. Use Page Insights to determine what types of content — videos, posts, questions, etc. — are getting good engagement versus what types aren’t.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> To access your Page Insights, go to the center of your Page Admin panel to a section called Insights. Or, you can go to the drop-down menu with the gear below your cover photo and select View Insights.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> As you learn what posts are getting the most engagement, make sure you optimise your future posts based on what resonates best with your customers. This is an ongoing learning process but will help you grow engagement with your audience.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i>Culled from <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/" target="_blank">http://www.mybloggertricks.com </a></i></b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> </div> <!-- Blogger automated replacement: "https://images-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/proxy?url=http%3A%2F%2Flh5.ggpht.com%2F-wVO0LrF5nJk%2FUuNdkutz16I%2FAAAAAAAABGI%2FGXEGen3c9Ow%2Fs640%2Ffacebook-cover-photos.jpg&container=blogger&gadget=a&rewriteMime=image%2F*" with "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhupDzYmDpWFCU-mTM3_i1rAmW6YM_52gJZN4q8cqb7mFQKYiUjCB9IfQI6GBfdgf_LVPw1B0sXfVR6fUYMedDPfNsZOCbuQe0vM0baA5mxD4aKshpb80P-r7Fs88LqhmXMnanysKjik9UY/s640/facebook-cover-photos.jpg" -->

How to build an Android app

<p>Two ways to create simple applications for Android<br></p> <p>How to create an Android app</p> <p>One of the strengths of the Android platform compared to iOS, for example, is that it has an open source basis, which makes it easier to produce your own applications and distribute them without waiting for a lengthy approval process.</p> <p>You can set up your own Android app on your PC as long as you have the right software installed, and you can even take it for a test drive using an Android emulator so you can see what it will look like when it's run on a smartphone.</p> <p>There are two techniques that you can use to produce Android applications with a PC. The first uses the Android Software Development Kit (SDK). This lets you write raw code and helps you get it working in the Android environment. The second uses App Inventor, a Google Labs tool that's still in beta.</p> <p>This provides you with a simple drag-and-drop environment that you can use to generate new applications made up of building blocks of code and media. It's an attempt to make application development possible for people who aren't hardcore coders, but it's not recommended for production environments.</p> <p>Assuming that you'd like to try the full coded environment, we'll demonstrate how to produce a simple 'hello world' application. If you'd rather work in a GUI, we'll discuss App Inventor later on. Android apps are written in Java code, so you'll need a Java development kit installed on your PC. You also need an integrated development environment (IDE) so you can write and test the code.</p> <p>You also need to get your computer ready for the Android SDK. Start by installing a Java Development Kit for your version of Windows.</p> <p>You also need to install Eclipse IDE for Java developers. When you install Eclipse it will check for the JDK. It's best to unzip Eclipse in the same directory as the JDK. If it can't find the JDK it won't install, but you can always move the required files to whatever directory the Eclipse installer is examining.</p> <p>With Eclipse up and running, you can download the Android SDK. Extract it to a safe directory on your PC and make a note of where it is.</p> <p>Back in Eclipse you need to add the Android Development Tools. To do this, choose 'Help > Install new software'. Next to 'Work with', enter https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse and click 'Add'. In the pane below this, check 'Development tools' and click 'Next'. Select 'Android DDMS' and 'Android Development Tools'. Click 'Next', accept the terms and restart.</p> <p>You need to point the ADT plugin to where you extracted the Android SDK. In Eclipse choose 'Window > Preferences > Android'. Next to 'SDK location' click 'Browse' and locate the folder with the SDK. Click 'Apply' and 'OK'</p> <p><b>Android platform</b></p> <p>Now that you've sorted out the programming environment, you also need to get at least one version of the Android platform. You can do this in the Android SDK and AVD Manager, which you can launch in Eclipse if you've set your system up correctly.</p> <p>Choose 'Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager' to open it, then select 'Available packages' and tick the box next to 'https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml'.</p> <p>After a brief scan of the repository, you'll see the available components. Tick those that you want to install and clear the rest. The most important package to install is the latest version of the Android platform. You'll only need older ones if you plan to release your app and need to test it in a range of different versions. At this stage you can also clear the samples, Google APIs and USB driver. If you need any of these later,you can always go back and install them.</p> <p>Click 'Install selected' and wait for the components to download. Verify and accept the new components if prompted and they will be added to your existing Android SDK folders.</p> <p><b>Android virtual devices</b></p> <p>Having downloaded a version of Android, you need to set up an Android Virtual Device (AVD) to run the computer. You can do this in the Android SDK and AVD Manager. Choose 'Window > Android SDK and AVD manager' and select 'Virtual devices'. Click 'New' and provide a name for your new device. Select the Android platform that you want to use as the target. Click 'Create AVD'.</p> <p>If you want to test your application under different versions of Android, you'll need to create a new virtual device for each version of the platform. You can also specify other parameters here, including the presence and size of an SD card. It's also possible to select a file to use as a virtual SD card.</p> <p>You can opt to use the built-in skin (recommended) or specify the resolution that you want to use. Under 'Hardware', click 'New' and select a device if you want to add more virtual hardware.</p> <p>For a simple AVD, you'll generally be fine sticking with the default options. You can now close the Android SDK and AVD Manager.</p> <p>Create and emulate your Android app</p> <p>Assuming you now have all the software in place and you've set up a virtual device in the Android SDK and AVD manager, you can create a new project. In Eclipse IDE choose 'File > New > Project'. In the New Project wizard, select the 'Android' folder and choose 'Android project'. Click 'Next'. You now have a new window for your project details.</p> <p>To start with, we'll set up a simple 'Hello world' application that just displays some text when launched. In the field marked 'Project name', enter HelloAndroid. For 'Application name' enter Hello, Android. For 'Package name' supply com.example.helloandroid and for 'CreateActivity', enter HelloAndroid. Click 'Finish'. These parameters are used to set up your project in Eclipse.</p> <p>The project name is also the name for the directory in your workspace that will contain your project files. Eclipse will create it for you. Assuming you accepted the default Windows workspace of C:\Users\[username]\workspace, you'll find the above directory at C:\Users\[username]\workspace\HelloAndro</p> <p>If you browse to this in Windows Explorer, you'll see a number of subfolders and files set up as part of the project.</p> <p>The application name is the title of your app, which will be displayed in the Android device. Change this to change the name of the app. You need to be a bit more careful with the package name.</p> <p>This is the namespace for the package where your source code resides. It needs to follow the rules for naming packages in Java. It also needs to be unique across the Android system, which is why a domain style package is used; 'com.example' is reserved for examples like this.</p> <p>If you develop an app that's published, you'll need to use your own namespace. This usually relates to the organisation publishing the app.</p> <p>'Create activity' relates to the class stub generated by the plug-in. An activity is basically an action. It might need to set up a user interface if it needs one. We left other project fields at their default values, but it's useful to know what they do. 'Min SDK version' lets you set the minimum API required by your application.</p> <p>If 'Use default location' is ticked, your project will be saved in your workspace. You can opt to change this if you want to store the files elsewhere. 'Build target' is the platform target for your application. It's the minimum version of Android that it will run on.</p> <p>If you develop an app to run on an earlier version of Android, it should run on a later one too, but one developed for a later version of the platform probably won't run on an earlier version. For an example like this, the build target isn't critical as long as you can get your application to run in the emulator. It's more of a concern when you come to release an app.</p> <p>Finally, the option to create the project from an existing example enables you to select some existing code to modify. You'll find this of more interest as you move on to greater programming challenges.</p> <p>Modify the code You should now see your project displayed in the Package Explorer, which is shown in the left-hand pane of Eclipse. Double-click 'HelloAndroid' to expand it. Also expand 'src' and 'com.example.helloandroid'. Double-click 'HelloAndroid.java' to see the code that's already been set up. In the main pane you should see the following text:</p> <p>package com.example.helloandroid;</p> <p>import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle;</p> <p>public class HelloAndroid extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */@Override public void onCreate(BundlesavedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); } }</p> <p>If you can't see all of this, try looking to the left-hand side of the pane and expanding any plus signs that indicate collapsed code. This defines your application without actually doing anything at this stage. To make it do some work, we need to add an object that will contain your text.</p> <p>Having done that, we also need to specify the text. Below 'import android. os.Bundle;' add the following line:</p> <p>import android.widget.TextView;</p> <p>Also add the following above the two sets of closing curly brackets:</p> <p>TextView tv = new TextView(this); tv.setText("My First Android App"); setContentView(tv);</p> <p>You can replace the text within the quotes to make your app say whatever you like. Check that the code in its entirety reads as the following, assuming you kept the displayed text the same:</p> <p>package com.example.helloandroid;</p> <p>import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.TextView;</p> <p>public class HelloAndroid extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */@Override public void onCreate(BundlesavedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); TextView tv = new TextView(this); tv.setText("My First Android App"); setContentView(tv); } }</p> <p>Save the changes to your code. You can now try it out in the Android emulator. In Eclipse, choose 'Run > Run > Android application'. The emulator launches. It can take a few minutes to boot into Android, so be patient. Once booted, your app should run automatically and you'll see a grey title bar with the app name in it. Below this, your chosen text is displayed.</p> <p>Press the 'Home' button in the emulator to return to the Android home screen. Click the 'Applications' button to see the list of available applications. Among these you should see 'Hello, Android'. Select this to launch your app again.</p> <p><b>Test your app on an Android device</b></p> <p>Now you've successfully run your app in the emulator, you can try running it on a real device. First you need to ensure that the USB driver is installed in the Android SDK and AVD manager. Choose 'Window > Android SDK and AVD manager > Available packages'. Select the Android repository, ensure that the USB driver is ticked and click 'Install selected'.</p> <p>Connect your phone to a spare USB port and wait for Windows to detect it. In the New Hardware wizard, choose 'Locate and install drivers' and opt to browse your computer for the driver software. Browse to the 'Android SDK' folder and locate the subfolder for the USB driver. Windows should find and install it from here.</p> <p>Now you need to declare your app as debuggable. In Eclipse, expand your HelloAndroid application and double-click 'AndroidManifest.xlm'. Move to the 'Application' tab and select 'True' from the Debuggable dropdown list. Save the project.</p> <p>Go to your Android phone and choose 'Menu' from the home screen, then select 'Applications > Development' and enable USB debugging. Now you can reconnect it to your PC via USB. If you want to check that the SDK can see your phone, browse to the 'Tools' directory in your 'Android SDK' folder. Launch 'adb.exe' and you should be able to see your phone listed as 'Device'.</p> <p>To launch your application on the connected phone, you need to choose 'Run > Run > Android application in Eclipse'. Now you have both the emulator and your phone connected, you need to specify which you want to run it on. Eclipse presents you with a Device Chooser that lists all the available devices and emulators. Select your phone from this list to install and run the app.</p> <p>Now you've produced and run a very basic application from raw code in an emulator and on an Android device, you can begin to learn how to develop your own. It helps to have some knowledge of Java programming, but you'll also find a number of stepped tutorials in the Android Developer Resources pages.</p> <p>These include introductions to the different views available to apps and how to implement them. You'll also find ways to use common resources like location information, and find out how to debug your work.</p> <p>You can find a full list of sample code on these pages too. This will help you to work through example applications that you can modify to your own ends. These include games such as Snake and Lunar Lander,plus utilities like Note Pad and Wiktionary. You can find even more samples at Apps-for-Android.</p> <p><b>How to use App Inventor</b></p> <p>For those whose eyes glaze over at the sight of a few lines of code, App Inventor may well be the answer. This Google Labs innovation lets you create applications using your browser and either a connected phone or an Android phone emulator. All your work is stored on the App Inventor servers, so you can come back to it at any point.</p> <p>App Inventor consists of three main components. The App Inventor Designer lets you select components for your app, including media, buttons, labels and everything else that's related to the way your app looks and feels.</p> <p>The App Inventor Blocks Editor is concerned with the processing components of your application. Any decision handling is dealt with here, and it's shown as a kind of puzzle. You drag and drop program pieces like a jigsaw.</p> <p>The emulator provides a virtual phone so you can try your program out, and it's updated as you make changes in real time.</p> <p>You can opt to use a real Android phone instead of the emulator, as long as there are Windows drivers to support it that will work with App Inventor.</p> <p>While it's partially cloud-based, there are still components that need to run locally, with the most important being the most recent version of Java. It's worth running a couple of tests to ensure your browser can execute Java code correctly before downloading the full App Inventor local program. If you have any browser extensions installed that stop code running in the browser, such as No Script for Firefox, it's a good idea to disable or even uninstall these before attempting to run App Inventor.</p> <p>Once you have App Inventor installed, you need to run it by connecting to the App Inventor site. You can't just launch it from the Start menu. In your chosen browser, head to App Inventor at Google Labs; if you have everything in place, the program will start. You may need to log into your Google Account if you haven't already done so, because this is where your development data will be stored.</p> <p>Create your first Android app: step-by-step</p> <p>To create an Android app in App Inventor, first download the most recent version of your browser and get Java.</p> <p>Run a couple of tests to ensure that your system is set up to run App Inventor, first by running the Java test. If it works, you'll be presented with a success message. If it fails, reinstall Java. After this, browse to the Check Java for App Inventor page, signing in with a Google account if prompted. The page will tell you if your browser is correctly configured.</p> <p>If it is, click the 'Launch' button to check that you can run a simple application in your browser using Java.</p> <p>Now you know that App Inventor will run in your browser, go to the App Inventor Setup page and click 'Download'. Once downloaded, browse to the file named 'AppInventor_Setup_Installer_v_1_2.exe' and launch it. Follow the installation. Make a note of the installation directory in case you need it later,but don't change it.</p> <p>The software already supports a number of popular Android phones. These include T-Mobile G1 / ADP1, T-Mobile myTouch 3G / Google Ion / ADP2, Verizon Droid (not Droid X), Google Nexus One and Google Nexus S. If you have a different phone, visit the Windows Drivers page to get its drivers. Alternatively, you can run your app in the emulator.</p> <p>Next, go to App Inventor at Google Labs and wait for App Inventor to launch. Click 'New' to start a new project, name it 'HelloPurr' as one word and click 'OK'. This project uses two media files: a picture of a cat in PNG format and an MP3 of purring. You can download them from the Building Your First App tutorial webpage or use your own.</p> <p>The Designer opens. In the left-hand pane you'll see the palette, which shows each of the components you can use. Click and drag a button onto Screen 1 in the viewer, to the right of the palette. To the right of this is a list of components in use.</p> <p>Select Button 1 and click 'None' under 'Image'. Choose 'Add', then browse to your cat picture. This changes the appearance of the button. Click under 'Text' and delete the existing wording.</p> <p>You now need to set up the app in the Blocks Editor. This can run your app via its emulator or through your phone. Click 'Open the blocks editor' and wait for the editor to open in a new window. Keep the existing window open. Choose 'Connect to device' and select your phone from the dropdown list. Wait for the editor to connect properly. If all is well, you'll see a picture of a cat on your phone. Alternatively, click 'New emulator'.</p> <p>If you're using an emulator, once it's running you need to connect to it in the same way as a phone. Click 'Connect to device' and select the emulator. Once connected, you'll see your cat picture on the emulator's screen. You may need to unlock the emulated phone by dragging the green lock button to the right.</p> <p>Return to the Designer window and drag a label from the palette to the viewer in Screen 1 so it appears below the picture. In the label properties on the right, enter the text 'Stroke the cat'. Change the font size to 30 and choose a different colour if you like. We'll now add the purring sound for when the cat is stroked.</p> <p>In the Designer window, click 'Palette > Media > Player'. Drag it to Screen 1 in the Viewer. Select 'Components > Player1 > Source and add'. Find the MP3 file of the purring sound, select it and choose 'OK'.</p> <p>Everything is now in place, but the application needs to know to play the sound only when the cat is touched.</p> <p>Return to the Blocks Editor,select the tab 'My blocks' and click 'Button 1'. Drag the element 'when Button1.Click do' into the main editor screen. Now click 'Player1' and drag the element 'call Player1.Start' into the space within the existing element. Now click the cat to play the sound.</p> <p>Back in the editor, choose 'Package for phone and download to this computer', and that's it.</p> <p>Once you have the simple Hello Purr program running, you can stretch your wings a little. There's a wide range of tutorials for developing applications at App Inventor. These include a simple painting program, various quiz and arcade style games, and apps that use a phone's GPS chip to help find your way back to your car.</p> <p>You can use and modify these programs to help you to develop similar ones. If you need to get more information about App Inventor, you can find out more about components, blocks and more in the Reference pages.</p> <p>-------------------------------------------------</p> <p><i><b>Culled from PC Plus Issu</b></i></p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP09z6mJ5WkMgfi38ebPqh1a2nVGEXPeGA7NsZ9gF3pUNimhdqjfnfr7RcFUwUJ1xTSftUng3kyKZ1jHkc9Aw3FuG8Z3lIHRYbWiFHKqoYEqS9pb_X7C7fpX9e0tyGoHTbR9_-SJ1wEnbb/s1600/images-3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP09z6mJ5WkMgfi38ebPqh1a2nVGEXPeGA7NsZ9gF3pUNimhdqjfnfr7RcFUwUJ1xTSftUng3kyKZ1jHkc9Aw3FuG8Z3lIHRYbWiFHKqoYEqS9pb_X7C7fpX9e0tyGoHTbR9_-SJ1wEnbb/s640/images-3.jpeg"> </a> </div>

Install the Official CM10.2 Android 4.3 Custom ROM on HTC One device

<p>The HTC One along with Sony Xperia Z, Samsung Galaxy S4 represents the high end devices that offer impressive performances and features. Today, we will teach you a manually method about how to install the latest stable CM 10.2 Android 4.3 platform on HTC One device.</p> <p>The latest CM 10.2 custom ROM is now available for all the variant of HTC One devices, that thanks to the Cyanogenmod team.</p> <p>This latest CM version offers stability, performances, bugs fixed in order to offer a highly Android experience for its users.</p> <p>As you probably know that, the Cyanogenmod is a powerful and a great platform that brings important features, applications and performances that cannot be available on the default Android OS versions.</p> <p>In the next sections, we will be checking on how manually install the CM 10.2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean custom ROM firmware on HTC One device.</p> <p>As already mentioned before, the CM 10.2 Custom ROM system is based on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean firmware and is it will offer you a custom version of Jelly Bean which will act and offer a different UI that the official Android 4.3 has. Moreover, the HTC One device where the new custom CM 10.2 ROM will be installed will be able to have a better battery life, enhanced speeds and better performances, as well.</p> <p>The best is that, this guide will provide you the official release of CM 10.2 and not a custom one. So, this custom system is coming directly from the Cyanogenmod team especially designed and optimized for the HTC One device.</p> <p>Before to learn how to install the CyanogenMod 10.2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update on HTC One, you will first have to take care of the prerequisites that are required to be followed before to begin the installation process of the new system.</p> <p>Prerequisites:</p> <p>The HTC One device needs to be a rooted device. You need to root the device because a custom ROM firmware can be installed only if the system is unchained.</p> <p>Important: when the root access is gained then the warranty of the HTC One device will be void.</p> <p>So, knowing this, you need to be careful when performing the installation operation of the new CM 10.2 firmware to the HTC One device as you don’t want to damage your smartphone while the warranty is voided.</p> <p>If you want to restore the warranty of the device, you’ll have to downgrade the device to stock Android Jelly Bean operating system or to update it with the latest Android 4.4 KitKat firmware.</p> <p>Note: when the HTC One device is a rooted device you have manually install the official Android 4.4 KitKat on it.</p> <p>After you gain the root access on the HTC One device, you have to flash a custom recovery image on it. As you probably know the HTC One device comes with a stock recovery image out of the box, but unfortunately this stock recovery cannot be used to install a custom ROM like CM 10.2 firmware.</p> <p>So you have to flash the CWM recovery or any other custom recovery image in the device. We will use in this step by step instructional guide the CWM recovery. The CWM recovery image can also be obtained via Google Play and installed after the root access is gained.</p> <p>Backup all your data stored into device’s internal memory, the installation of a custom ROM is a risky operation that’s why you have to be sure that your data are safe.</p> <p>When the new CM 10.2 Android 4.3 firmware is installed a wipe operation is being required. So, your data, personal info, accounts, documents, images and everything else that is stored on the internal storage device’s memory will be corrupted or deleted.</p> <p>So, knowing that our advice is that is very important to make a complete backup. For this, you can save the current ROM by creating a full NANDROID backup.</p> <p>During the flashing process a computer will be required, the HTC One device and the device’s official USB cable.</p> <p>Ensure that the security tools such as antivirus, firewall, antimalware, which are installed on the computer and the device should be disabled or uninstalled.</p> <p>Enable the USB debugging option on the HTC One device by following the next path: “menu -> settings -> developer options”</p> <p>Make sure that the device’s battery has enough power left, the charge level should more than 65 %, because the flashing procedure will take a few minutes and if there isn’t enough power the device can take a forced power off in the middle of the process and this action can brick it.</p> <p>The present step by step guide is compatible with HTC One device only. Do not use the same for any other incorrect device you can damage the same.</p> <p>All the instructions listed here and the files are provided only for educational and instructional purposing, so in case you want to use the same for your HTC One device, you are the only responsible for any data lost or damage during or after the installation process, we cannot be held liable or responsible for your actions and changes over your device. How to Install the Official CM10.2 Android 4.3 Custom ROM Firmware on HTC One</p> <p>1. Download the CM 10.2 firmware file form here and save it in your PC. 2. Download the Google Apps package from this page and save the same on your PC to the desktop folder. 3. Now, unzip the downloaded files and move to the next steps. 4. Connect the HTC One device to the PC using the USB cable. 5. Transfer (Copy/Paste) the downloaded files (the unzipped files) from the folder when you extracted them before on your smartphone’s SD card. 6. Disconnect the USB cable from the PC. 7. Now, power off the device. 8. Boot it into Recovery Mode. 9. From the recovery mode select the “wipe data factory reset” and “wipe cache partition”. These actions will wipe the system and clear the cache. 10. Next, return the device to the main menu of Recovery Mode menu and select “advance” followed by “wipe dalvick cache” option. 11. Now, go back to the main menu of the recovery mode and select the “install zip from SD card” and “choose zip from SD card”. 12. Browse for the copied CM 10.2 update file and flash it on the HTC One smartphone. 13. Similar, do the same thing for installing the Google Application pack. 14. Now, just wait while the files are being flashed. 15. When the flashing process is completed, go to the main menu and select “reboot system now”.</p> <p>Troubleshooting:</p> <p>If the device might experience a boot loop you have to : Enter into recovery mode. Select the “wipe data factory” and “wipe cache partition” Reboot the system and you are done. Note: the first boot can take a longer to complete than usual.</p> <p>If you don’t like the new CM 10.2 Android 4.3 platform and you have made a Nandroid backup for your previously ROM then you’ll be able to restore the backup image from the custom recovery image menu by using the “ Backup/Restore” option for restoring the HTC One previously stock Android Operating System.</p> <p>Congratulation, now you successfully learned how to update the HTC One device with CM 10.2 Android 4.3 custom ROM firmware.</p> <p>Culled from Android <u>Tips</u></p> http://android.sc/install-the-official-cm10-2-android-4-3-custom-rom-on-htc-one-device/ <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh202aR9w1NCbL4re2bz7EQaA004vE7bnAT6cPqF35Z5Gw68RF3P_d9zl3i4UkbYVJszIleiCuOmNRq3hn839-CzV8_haqs_S9r6d6ze6WXDyE895eJ55Q7Q1y9PofznPavjptmAZHIhbI7/s1600/CM-10.2-Android-4.3-320x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh202aR9w1NCbL4re2bz7EQaA004vE7bnAT6cPqF35Z5Gw68RF3P_d9zl3i4UkbYVJszIleiCuOmNRq3hn839-CzV8_haqs_S9r6d6ze6WXDyE895eJ55Q7Q1y9PofznPavjptmAZHIhbI7/s640/CM-10.2-Android-4.3-320x300.jpg"> </a> </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"> Ready to do some Friday afternoon tinkering? How does the new Gmail 4.2 sound? We showed you this new version earlier this morning, which includes pinch-to-zoom in emails along with a new swipe-to-delete/archive feature. They may sound like small improvements, but they are all things that you will quickly realize that you can no longer live without.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXc8DXCf0K7dM_WUPl6PFOcOXsT3oD_u288WgNSQjafcGeP8aY-0PTch0Kc9XkCgDEczwIIzeWGwikkz3RY4sie3Jpio1QE7e_757o3hBUY6ycnzo9ADOJ8wZ8kI6PSBsuaDIC2Ct5ujI/s1600/GMail_App_Large_Icon.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXc8DXCf0K7dM_WUPl6PFOcOXsT3oD_u288WgNSQjafcGeP8aY-0PTch0Kc9XkCgDEczwIIzeWGwikkz3RY4sie3Jpio1QE7e_757o3hBUY6ycnzo9ADOJ8wZ8kI6PSBsuaDIC2Ct5ujI/s1600/GMail_App_Large_Icon.png" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> So in order to use this, you have to have root, because you are going to be moving around some system level files. You can try to do this all in adb, but I’m still not even sure that that is possible. If you are brave enough to dive into this, let’s do it. It should take all of 5 minutes.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Download: <a href="http://ads.ad-center.com/offer?prod=1&ref=4973971&q=com.google.android.gm-4.7.2_(967015).apk"><b><i>Gmail2.apk [mirror]</i></b></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"> Instructions:</h3> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1. Download the Gmail2.apk from above and place it on your internal storage. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 2. Create a nandroid backup, just to be safe. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 3. Once your phone has rebooted, delete or move any Gmail.apk on your device.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> *You’ll need to look in /system/app for Gmail.apk and /data/app for com.google.android.gm-1.apk.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 4. Once moved/deleted, you should reboot your phone. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 5. Once rebooted, you can try simply installing Gmail2.apk on your phone. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 6. If that doesn’t work, put the file in your SDK/Platform-Tools folder and type this in adb:</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> adb install Gmail2.apk</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 7. You should now have the new Gmail 4.2 up and running.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i><b>Note </b></i>– Depending on the ROM, there may be Gmail .odex files that will need to be deleted as well.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Via: <i><a href="http://androidpolice.com/">Android Police</a></i></div>
