Tip: Give Your Android Phone A Windows 8 Styled Makeover

Fan of Windows 8 on your computer, but still stuck with an Android phone for some reason? Or want to give someone you know that uses an Android device a taste of what they are missing?

There are a number of simple tricks you can use to turn your Android tablet or phone into a pocket sized Windows 8 PC — or something close to it. For starters, you can install mobile versions of familiar desktop software. But the most visible change is by downloading a Windows 8 styled home screen.

Android phones, this side of HTC, have a bit of a tendency to look identical.

If you want to give your Android device a Microsoft makeover, then the best way to do so is by installing this amazing app launcher that goes by the name of Launcher 8 Free.

It lets you customize your home screen with colorful tiles similar to the ones you get on Windows 8. These provide quick and easy access to not only your messages and contacts but settings and other essentials tools with just a tap.

You can also add in more widgets and apps that you frequently use to the home screen.

Customization options are aplenty too. Just long-press a tile and you will be able to change its size and color, move it around or remove it altogether — not all that different to what is available on devices and computers powered by Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.

Launcher 8 Free not only looks fantastic, it also makes it easy to switch back to the standard Android home screen when you want. It is also highly rated and downloaded on Google Play.

You can download Launcher 8 Free here.

How to Recover Deleted Applications on your iPhone

Deleting and installing applications on your iPhone is super easy. Thanks to a large collection of applications in the App Store, most of the power users may even forget about an application they had on the device and ended up deleting it. However, one fine moment you recall that amazing application and want it, but there is absolutely no way to recall what the application name was. No matter how much you explore around, it becomes impossible to trace the application.

However, thanks to iCloud a lot of these things have been streamlined and you can actually now go back and find the application that once you have downloaded  with your iTunes account. This is extremely easy to do with your device running iOS 7. Just follow the following steps:

Step 1:

Open The App Store icon from your Springboard.

Step 2:

Click on the Updates Tab.

Step 3:

Once you are in the Updates tab, click on Purchased tab.

Step 4:

When you are in Purchased tab, click on ‘Not on This iPhone’. And this is where all the applications that you must have downloaded with your iTunes ID.

Conclusion

It is that easy to retrace the applications that you had once downloaded with your iPhone or any other iDevice. It is a rather full proof method that works great and in our experience records every single application that you have downloaded.

In case you have any questions or doubts regarding this method, feel free to post to us in the comments section below or ask us on our Social Networking profiles and we would be glad to answer.

Microsoft extends virus warnings for Windows XP to 2015

Microsoft has decided to continue providing virus warnings for the ageing Windows XP operating system until 2015.

The warnings were due to end on 8 April 2014 when all other support for the software is scheduled to stop.

However, the numbers still running the 12-year-old operating system convinced it to provide more help.

About 30% of all desktop computers are still running XP, according to figures from research firm Net Applications.

Microsoft explained its change of policy in a blogpost saying the feed of security information was the only support XP users would receive after 8 April this year.

This would mean that it continued to provide signatures for well-known malicious programs that will help Windows XP spot when viruses, trojans and other cyber-threats try to compromise a PC. The malware-spotting updates will be provided for Microsoft's Security Essentials and for a wide variety of corporate tools used to protect large numbers of PCs.

These security updates will be produced until 14 July, 2015.

However, security patches, regular updates and bug fixes for XP will stop as scheduled on 8 April.

In its blogpost, Microsoft warned users to stop using XP to ensure they stay safe.

"The effectiveness of anti-malware solutions on out-of-support operating systems is limited," said Microsoft. "Running a well-protected solution starts with using modern software and hardware designed to help protect against today's threat landscape."

Despite its age, Windows XP has proved to have a long life on desktops in homes and businesses. This led Microsoft to keep selling it long past the date it was due to be removed from shop shelves.

This longevity is partly because of the poor reception that its successor Windows Vista received and because some businesses have found it hard to adapt to the changes introduced in Windows 7 and 8.

How To Install Windows XP, Windows 7 And Windows 8/8.1 From The Same USB Drive [Must Read]

Do you want to create a bootable USB drive containing Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 installation files to avoid creating multiple bootable USB drives? Would you like to install Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 from the same USB drive? If you said yes to above questions, you have come to the right place.

In this guide, we will show you how to create a bootable USB drive containing Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 installation files and install XP, 7 and 8/8.1 from the same USB drive.

Things you need:

# Windows XP ISO file or DVD

# Windows 7 ISO file

# Windows 8/8.1 ISO file

# 8 GB+ USB flash drive

Procedure:

Step 1: Connect your 8GB+ USB flash drive to your PC and backup all data before proceeding further, as the drive will be erased while making it bootable.

Step 2: Head over to this page and download the newest version of WinSetupFromUSB zip file. Extract the zip file to get WinSetupFromUSB folder containing separate executable for x86 and x64 versions of Windows.

Step 3: Depending on the version of Windows you’re running, double-click either on WinSetupFromUSB.exe or WinSetupFromUSB x64 to launch the software.

Step 4: Once WinSetupFromUSB is launched and running, select your USB pen drive under USB disk selection and format tools section (see picture) and select Auto format it with FBinst option. Also select FAT32 as file system instead of NTFS if you want your multi-boot USB to be compatible with both BIOS and U/EFI.

Step 5: Skip this step if you don’t want to add Windows XP files to the USB. Select the check box under Windows 2000/XP/2003 Setup and then click the browse button to browse to the i386 folder in your Windows XP DVD or ISO file. Note that if you have the ISO file, you need to mount the ISO file using a third-party software or using the built-in Mount feature in Windows 8/8.1.

If you’re on Windows 7, we suggest you go through our how to mount an ISO file in Windows 7guide for detailed instructions.

Once you have selected the I386 folder, proceed to the next step.

Step 6: Next, select the check box under Windows Vista/7/8/Server 2008/2012 based ISO, click on the browse button and browse to location where you have saved your Windows 7 ISO file. Select the ISO file and click Open button.

Step 7: Now that you have chosen to add Windows XP and Windows 7 to the USB drive and make it bootable, check the Advanced options box to open Advanced Options dialog, select the option titled Custom menu names for Vista/7/8/Server Source. This will enable you add your own custom names to your Windows 7 and Windows 8 setups in the boot menu.

Once done, close Advanced Options dialog.

Step 8: Finally, click GO button. Click on the Yes button when you see the Warning messages. If you have selected Custom menu names for Vista/7/8, you’ll see a small dialog box asking you to enter custom name for Windows setup. Enter a name and click OK button to allow WinSetupFromUSB begin its job.

NOTE: We’ll add Windows 8/8.1 to the USB in the next step.

Step 9: Once done, you’ll see Job done message on the screen. Don’t close WinSetupFromUSB yet as we have yet to add Windows 8/8.1 installation files to the USB. And if you don’t want to add Windows 8/8.1 files, you can stop the procedure here and close the application.

 

Step 10: In order to add Windows 8/8.1 installation files, select the option titled Windows Vista/7/8/Server 2008/2012 based ISO and then select your Windows 8/8.1 ISO file (make sure that the same USB drive is selected).

Step 11: Enable the option titled Advanced Options and then select Custom menu names for Vista/7/8/Server source.

Step 12: Finally, click the GO button. Click Yes button when you see warning dialogue boxes and enter a name for the setup when you’re asked to do so. That’s it! Your bootable USB containing Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 should be ready in a couple of minutes. Good luck!

Once done, you can connect the USB drive to your PC or any other PC on which you want to install Windows XP, Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1, and then boot from the USB. You’ll see the following screen, where you need to select the Windows setup that you would like to start.

Where is the BIOS Stored?

For those who are new to learning about computers, the BIOS may seem a bit ‘mysterious’ to some individuals, and generate questions like “Where, and how, is the BIOS stored on my computer?” Today’s SuperUser Q&A looks at the answer to these questions.

Today’s Question & Answer session comes to us courtesy of SuperUser—a subdivision of Stack Exchange, a community-driven grouping of Q&A web sites.

The Question

SuperUser reader T… wants to know where the BIOS is actually stored at:

From the Wikipedia Article on BIOS:

• BIOS software is stored on a non-volatile ROM chip on the motherboard. … In modern computer systems, the BIOS contents are stored on a flash memory chip so that the contents can be rewritten without removing the chip from the motherboard. This allows BIOS software to be easily upgraded to add new features or fix bugs, but can make the computer vulnerable to BIOS rootkits.

ROM is read only, so why can the BIOS contents be rewritten? Does the “flash memory chip” mean the same thing as the “non-volatile ROM”, both meaning where BIOS is stored?

What exactly, is the deal here? Is the BIOS being stored on two ‘different’ mediums or just a single one?

The Answer

SuperUser contributor Varaquilex has the answer for us:

• ROM is read only, so why can the BIOS contents be rewritten?

The BIOS program itself is stored in an EEPROM (which can be [E]lectrically [E]rasable and [P]rogrammable [R]ead [O]nly [M]emory) or flash-memory. So the read-only here is about the chip being non-volatile. The contents of the memory stays when the power is cut off, unlike volatile RAM. The ROM being EEP means that the BIOS can be re-written or updated. For such operations in the past, you had to remove the BIOS chip from the board, put a new one in (if it was not PROM or EPROM), or if it was EPROM, you had to get it to the manufacturer and let them re-program the chip, then re-attach it to the board. After current advances, thanks to EEPROMs, you do not have to remove chip to do such operations, you just make the computer do the job electrically.

• Does the “flash memory chip” mean the same as the “non-volatile ROM”, both meaning where BIOS is stored?

from Wikipedia:

• Flash memory is an electronic non-volatile computer storage medium that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.
• Flash memory was developed from EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory). There are two main types of flash memory, which are named after the NAND and NOR logic gates. The internal characteristics of the individual flash memory cells exhibit characteristics similar to those of the corresponding gates. Whereas EPROMs had to be completely erased before being rewritten, NAND type flash memory may be written and read in blocks (or pages) which are generally much smaller than the entire device. NOR type flash allows a single machine word (byte) to be written—to an erased location—or read independently.

EEPROM and flash memory do not refer to same thing. They are two similar memory types as one is developed from the other, and contain different types/configurations of MOS transistors. However, they are the memory where the BIOS program resides.

To address another misconception, I want to mention this CMOS-BIOS relationship:

The BIOS settings are stored in the CMOS chip (which is kept powered up via the battery on the motherboard). That is why the BIOS is reset when you remove the battery and re-attach it. The same program runs, but the settings are defaulted. Seethis answer for a detailed view of memories used during the booting process.

To extend the CMOS-BIOS topic, thanks to @Andon M. Coleman, I want to add his comment to the answer:

• It is worth mentioning that the BIOS settings do not have to be stored in volatile CMOS memory. There are plenty of embedded systems that store their settings in NVRAM. The only reason PCs have gotten away with using volatile CMOS all these years is that they already had a battery to keep the internal real-time clock ticking while the power is off (recall that when you pressed the power switch on a PC-AT, it literally cut all power off to the motherboard). This meant that cheaper volatile memory could be used to store system settings. So it is mostly for historical purposes. [via htg]
