In brain dots you’ve to draw a path for two different balls to bump each other which are placed at a specific distance from each other. In the first four stages of this game you will earn to draw different shapes through which the two balls will hit each other.

How To Create Sony Xperia Pre-Rooted Firmware With PRF Creator

Pre-Rooted firmwares are much useful for Android power users who do not like to loose root access specially when upgrading to a new firmware. Having a pre-rooted firmware has several benefits. If your device has a locked bootloader, and you’ve a recovery installed on it and a new update arrives which doesn’t support root access or flashing the recoveries without unlocking the bootloader, you can have a pre-rooted file of the new firmware and flash it in the recovery that you have in the previous firmware on locked bootloader. This mechanism is pretty common among Sony Xperia users. There are tools and glitches that allow Xperia users to root their devices running on a specific firmware without unlocking the bootloader, but the tools do not work with the newer firmwares as Sony patches the glitches. Earlier there were one-click root tools and all time famous Towel Root application which allowed rooting some famous Xperia devices running on the firmwares available at that time, but these tools failed to work when Sony rolled out Android Lollipop. At the moment, there’s no direct method available to root Android Lollipop on Sony Xperia Z Line up, but you sure can root your device on an older firmware and flash the pre-rooted zip file of Android 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 Lollipop in the recovery. You may unlock your device’s bootloader on an older firmware or you may keep it lock if the older firmware’s root method doesn’t require it.

That was was all about the pre-rooted firmware. But how to get one? There are people creating and posting pre-rooted firmwares over different forums, but just in case you can’t find one for your device, you may want to create one for yourself. XDA senior member zxz0O0 has made it a lot easier for Android enthusiasts. Zxz0O0 came up with his tool named as PRF Creator which creates a pre-rooted firmware within a few minutes. All you need is the FTF file of your desired firmware, SuperSu.zip file and your desired recovery’s .zip file. You can simply push these files into the PRF Creator and then sit back and wait for the tool to cook up your desired pre-rooted firmware.

We’ve given this tool a try and found it working perfectly fine. In the following post we are going to show you how you can use it as well and create a pre-rooted firmware for your Sony Xperia device.

Requirements:

Firmware’s FTF file, here’s
SuperSu Beta (Recommended as it is always the most latest version)
Recovery: Nut’s Dual Recovery.zip file (Recommended) but you can also use a recovery of your choice. You may find one on XDA developers.

How To Create Sony Xperia Pre-Rooted Firmware With PRF Creator

Download PRF Creator’s latest version.
Create a new folder on your desktop named as “PRF Creator”.
Unzip the downloaded PRF Creator .zip file in the folder you just created on your desktop.
Now open the folder where you unzipped the PRF Creator, and open “PRFCreator.exe” file which has a square root icon.
The tool will now open up. Click on the small button next to the “FTF File” bar and select the FTF file.
Now click on the button next to “SuperSu Zip” and select the SuperSu.zip file.
Now click on the button next to “Recovery Zip” and select the downloaded Recovery.zip file.
Tick all the five options next to the file selection area. These options include “Kernel, FOTAKernal, Modem, LTALabel, Sign zip”.
Now click the “Create” button and sit back tight.
Once the firmware is ready, you will get the Firmware’s zip file in the PRF Creator folder on your desktop.
That’s all.

Now you can flash this pre-rooted firmware.zip file on your phone and update it without any hiccups.

Rumor Roundup on the New Google Nexus Smartphone

There is no doubt that Google with its Nexus brand brings users one of the impressive smartphones of the year. One of the reasons for the success of the Google Nexus line is the company’s focus on quality and not compromising on providing users the best experience with the latest technology available. Every year Google launches one Nexus smartphone in the last quarter and this year is not different. One of the interesting aspects about the Google Nexus lineup is that it is not produced by Google but always in partnership with other smartphone companies. With the company having worked with tech giants like Samsung, Motorola and HTC, which company are they going to work with this time around is under speculation.

Well different rumors swirling around in tech town right now suggest that we may be in for a surprise from Google this time around with the company bringing out two Nexus smartphones in collaboration with two different companies. According to Android Police the company is working on LG for a 5.2-inch smartphone which is code named Bullhead and on a 5.7-inch display smartphone with Huawei code named Angelr. Well it seems as if the company is keeping with the current trends of smartphone sizes by brining a phablet and a sizeable smartphone.

Well nothing definitive about the specifications of the devices is known but let’s have a look at some of the reported specifications. LG Nexus will sport a 5.2-inch display and will be equipped with a 808 Snapdragon processor. Along with this it will have a 2700mAh battery. Not much about the other features is known at the moment but we will update you as soon as more information surfaces. LG can make this smartphone impressive by adding a great camera feature which they are currently using in their own flagships.

Google is amping up the game with Huawei Nexus. Huawei’s latest lineup does give an idea as to what can we expect from this collaboration, a sleek and well designed metal body smartphone. The smartphone will sport a 5.7-inch Quad HD display. Along with that it will be equipped with Qualacomm Snapdragon 820 chipset, 3 GB RAM and a 32 or 64 GB internal storage. As far as the camera features go it will sport a 13 MP main camera and 2 MP selfie shooter, which does sound a bit disappointing but these are just rumored specs, the end product may turn out to be totally different than the one speculated. We hope so that’s the case with the camera specs and the companies whip up something really striking.

Both the smartphones will be launched with Google latest OS which is the Android M. As far as the launch date goes, we will be looking at these smartphones somewhere in October or November, wouldn’t that make the holiday season much more sweeter.

Have a look at some of the concepts and renders for the latest Nexus smartphone.

The Latest Scoop on Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus: Specs, Features and Rumors

Samsung is planning to launch an Edge smartphone along with the Galaxy Note 5 in the next few weeks. The company started this tradition of launching 2 variants of its flagship last year at the IFA in Berlin when it surprised people by launching the Note Edge along with Note 4. This year is no different, apart from the rumored launch dates; Samsung is all set to launch Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, a dual-edged variant of the Galaxy S6 Edge. Is Samsung introducing any new features in this dual edged variant or is it just going to be a bigger version of S6 Edge, let’s have a look.

Galaxy S6 Edge, has a curved screen only on the right side. One of the major differences in the Plus variant is that it has a dual-sided curved display. As far as what features and functions that the curved edges have been given are still unknown. Most probably some of the features like main icons and the contact identification through assigned colors will be there but it would be interesting to see what else do Samsung developers whip up this time around to make their device stand out.

The Galaxy S6 Edge Plus is expected to sport a 5.7-inch QuadHD display. Most of the rumoured specifications of this smartphone are sketchy and contradictory. PhoneArena cited that the Plus version will have a 5.5-inch display; well this aspect will be confirmed on the eve of the smartphone’s launch.

Samsung is currently working on using its home produced Exyons chips since its success with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge earlier this year. It is rumoured that they will be using the Exynos 7422 chip in the S6 Edge Plus and also in the Galaxy Note 5 which is produced using the ePoP production method. In the Note 5 the use of this chip allows the manufacturer to use a 4100 mAh battery but in the case of S6 Edge Plus a 3700mAh battery will be used.

Following in the steps of the revamped S-series flagship smartphones, the S6 Edge Plus will also have a non-removable battery and no microSD slot for expanded storage. This feature may prove to be disappointing to the users who were looking forward to the newer smartphones to have that option. S6 Edge Plus will have a 3GB RAM with an internal storage option of 32GB, 64GB and 128GB.

As far as the camera feature goes we may not see anything new there. The smartphone will be equipped with a 16-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization. Well the company could have worked on enhancing this feature in this smartphone and that could have made it more attractive to the users. With Samsung’s competitors offering a 20-megapixel main camera, the company should work on this feature and offer its users something optimized. There are two different specification reports regarding the front camera suggesting that the smartphone will be equipped with a 5-megapixel or an 8-megapixel front camera. Well the 8-megapixel camera with a 16-megapixel main camera does sound a bit dubious but you never know what Samsung may pull by the end of the day.

Galaxy S6 Edge Plus will have a sleek metal design as seen in its predecessors Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. As far as the launch date goes, we will be looking at the new Edge smartphone in the next few weeks if rumors are something to go by. It is expected that the company is planning to launch Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Note 5 on August 12^th. The company is launching its flagship earlier this year. The reason behind this move is that the company wants to stay ahead of its arch-rival Apple which will be launching iPhone S6 and S6 Plus in September. Samsung wants to tip the balance in their scale and keep the streak of success alive with their new flagships. Samsung if you want to keep up with your market share, work on innovating your products and offer consumers something that the competitors are not doing at the current moment that will improve your chances of success considerably and help you recoup the lost ground in global markets.

Galaxy Note 5 News, Rumors, Specs, Release Date

Samsung has no doubt upped its game in 2015 and is focusing on improving its smartphones. With the success of Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, the company has definitely understood that to stay in the game they have to innovate and work on improving their technology. With its sleek metal glass design and powerful technology Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are to date considered one of the best smartphones that the company has produced. Keeping that in view, users are definitely looking forward to what Samsung will bring next with their upcoming flagship Galaxy Note 5.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 5 is expected to have the best features of the Notes series as well as the latest S series smartphones, this can prove to be an interesting mix with the company going with something borrowed, something blue philosophy. Note 5 is reported to come with a 5.7-inch display and reported dimensions of 153.3x 76.1 x 7.9 mm. The body of the smartphone is expected to sport the same sleek sophisticated metal design as seen in Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.

With the Note 5, Samsung has worked on improving its processing. The company’s bet with their own Exynos chip in the latest S-series smartphone seems to be paying off and they again in the Note 5 will be making use of their own Exynos chip: the Exynos 7422. The most interesting aspect about this chip is that with this Samsung is combining the elements like CPU, GPU, DRAM and LTE in a single chip. They are able to do this using the ePoP production method and this method allows the manufacturer to use a bigger battery. Well the reported battery specs of Note 5 are quite impressive with the company using a whooping 4100 mAh battery in their latest flagship. If the company goes with the non-removable battery design as seen in S6 than this latest development will be embraced happily by disgruntled users who were not happy with this aspect.

Along with the new Exynos chip, the smartphone will be equipped with a 4GB LPDDR4 RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. Whether or not a micoSD slot option for expandable storage will be available or not is still under speculation. Some industry experts say that the company will forgo this option in leiu of producing a sleek power house.

As far as the display goes, speculations suggest we may be looking at a 4K display in the Note 5. This seems a bit dubious as some manufacturers have still not jumped to the Quad HD display and increasing the display power may eat up a considerable chunk of the battery. It is safe to say that the company will most probably go with a 2k, 1440 x 2560 resolution display. The smartphone is expected to sport a 16MP main camera with optical image stabilization and a 5MP front camera. Well the company could have worked on improving their camera specs and introduced a 20MP main camera when other competitors are making use of this feature, why not push the envelope and give the users even a better experience than the one found in S6 and S6 Edge.

As far as Galaxy Note 5’s release dates go, it is expected to launch on 12^th August. This year Samsung is pushing the envelope and bringing its Note flagship in August rather than launch it on the IFA in Berlin as per tradition. The reason behind this decision is that Samsung wants to stay ahead of Apple and continue its streak of success. Apple in September is expected to launch iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. So to stay ahead of the game Samsung is bringing out Note 5 in August. So Samsung fans looking forward to the new phablet, mark your calendars because if the latest speculations swirling around in the tech industry right now are true than you will be looking at the new Samsung Note in just a few weeks.
Here are some concepts of the Galaxy Note 5 floating around the web.
