How to send files from android to an iOS device(iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) without jailbreak using wifi (no internet required)

I have tested this method on samsung galaxy s3 running jellybean 4.1.2 and ipad mini(retina) running iOS 7.0.4. For sending running files from android, you need to have "Fast File Transfer", it's available on Play Store for free, and for better experience you can download Documents from App Store for free, again. So, this method is completely free of cost, unlike other methods which invloves jailbreaking your device and then buy some app from cydia. Before moving any further, let me tell you this method does not work the other way wiz. sending files from iOS to android. So, that being said let's move on to some real stuff. 

This app uses a very clever way of sending data between two devices, what it does is that it makes a server of your android device and share selected files in that, thus when you connect to it using hostspot, you are actually accessing that server like you do when you connect to any website and you can download data from it, same way you do from any other site.

1. Firstly click on share button on your android device and select fast file transfer. 

2. Now, turn on wifi on iOS and connect to hostspot, made by fast file transfer on android. 

3. After connecting to the hostpost, the file transfer will show some ip address and port. Open the browser in your iOS device and type that address and port into it, exactly as shown by the app in the android. 

4. The file which was sent, will open up in the browser. 

The whole question which remains now, is how to save that file which is opened in the browser. There are many ways to perform that, some of them are listed below. 

1. If file send was pdf, ppt, doc or some other document file, then you can use safari browser and save the file in the reading list. 

2. If the file is pdf, the easiest way is to use the chrome browser and double tap on the window, the "open in" will appear at the bottom of the screen, top on it and choose Adobe Reader, it will be saved in Adobe Reader. 

3. Other method involes using browser in Documents app. Enter that ip address in this browser, it have the download option, which can download any type of file like png, jpeg, pdf, doc, ppt, xml etc. So this is most desirable way as it can be implements for all types of file. (you may have to sent the file twice in order to download it from Documents app). 

4. Best method is to download tdownloader, either of paid or free version and when you enter the IP address in the embedded browser in the tdowloader, it will give the prompt to either download the file or to play it. This is method is best suited when you are sending media file, for other types of file above method is more appropriate.

There may others ways also, which can be better than these for downloading files from the browser. So, if anyone can come up with a better way of doing it, feel free to comment

How to root any android phone manually

For rooting the android phone, your android debugging must be ON and you will require following things.



1. A linux machine, in my case ubuntu
2. adb - It can downloaded by following command on linux terminal
     $ sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
3. busybox, Superuser.apk, psneuter

When you have it execute the following command step-wise.


$ adb devices

          This will list all the devices connected to the computer, if "no devices" is promting, check whether your USB Debugging is ON, which is present in developer options under settings.

$ adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
          This copy the file in your device and now we will execute this file.
$ adb shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 777 psneuter
$ ./psneuter

now it will run

$ adb kill-server
$ adb devices
$ adb shell

now # will appear in place of $, or after typing $su

# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19/system
# exit
$ adb push busybox /system/bin
$ adb push su /system/bin
$ adb install Superuser.apk
$ adb shell
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19/system
# exit
$ adb reboot

now device will reboot and device will be rooted and su app will appear in app drawer.

How to hack the lockscreen of android phone i,e bypass screen without PIN or pattern

How to bypass the pattern lockscreen of any android phone

To remove the pattern lock of the android devices, you gonna need a computer running any linux distro, as of my case ubuntu 13.04. Just follow the following steps

1. Open the linux terminal and type
    $sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
   and let it install

2. When it is installed, connect the android device to the computer.

3. Type
    $adb devices
   a will device will be shown and if not then make sure that USB Debugging is switched ON, on the android devices, probably located in the developer options inside the settings(on device on or after android 4.0)

4. Now the device is shown, then type
    $adb shell
    $su
    #cd data/system
    #rm *.key;
    #exit
    $adb reboot

5. Now your device will be rebooted.

6. Now try any pattern, the device will open.

If after the step, $su, the $ doesnot changed to #, or a error pops up, it means that your device is not rooted. Fortunately, methods are there which can unlock the phone, even if the device is not rooted, that I will write about next time.

Fake Password(or pin) for the Hide it Pro (Audio Manager)

Hide it Pro or Audio Manager provides the feature of the fake password. Consider a situation, where someone caught you hiding something in the audio manager and ask you about it, now what you gonna do? In such situations, the need for a fake password emerges.

Whenever you enter this fake password the vault of the audio manager will open, but it will show every folder empty. That means you can open the vault for anybody, without showing the content of it. Default password for it is 8888 , but it is wise to keep a more obvious password, maybe reverse of the main password.

If you wish to set up your own fake password follow the following steps.

!. Enter the vault of the audio manager, by entering your main password.

2. Select settings > Login Settings > Fake Pin.

Inside of the fake pin you can customize your own fake pin or password and give your content another wall of safety. 

View Files hidden by hide it pro without entering the password

Hide it pro is the android app which lets you to hide stuff like pictures, videos, musics. It is very popular app in google play. The best thing about this app is,  it never let other people know that you have hide something in your mobile. The app will be named as audio manager and can also be used to adjust the audios of various application of the system.

But this app also have lapses. You can easily know what have hidden in its audio manager without even entering the password, even if anybody know how to view the stuff without entering the password there is also a way to counter this and i will come back on it afterwords.

Now to view the files hidden in audio manager, take following steps

1. Firstly, make the hidden files visible by going in the file explorer and making the hidden files visible.

2. Then go the folder named "program data" and then click on "android". Inside the android folder open the folder named "language".

3. Inside the language folder there will be many folders open the folder ".fr" and inside will be the whole treasure you were looking for.

Now, now assume that other people also know about it, then you are screwed. But Audio Manager gives you another option to ensure that your stuff is still safe, even if someone has reached that folder with accident or by intention.

To protect the content you can, even from that folder in the file system, you can rename the files from the Audio Manager app. And now if you open that folder( discribed earlier ), then you can see that files with their new name but without the extension of the file, so that if you tend to open the file from that folder, android system will show the dialog "File not supported" .

However, If you wish to open those from that folder, all you have to do is to rename the file from the file explorer and add the corresponding extension of the file like .mp4 for the files in the video folder and .png or .jpeg for the files in the pictures folder and .mp3 for the files in the music folder or any other depending on the type of the file.
