Great Discount on MyPhone A919i This Christmas!

If you want to treat yourself this Christmas with a new gadget, I say you go for this myPhone A919i.

As I was browsing today, I encountered this ad:

 As what was indicated in the ad, it used to cost PhP9,590 and now PhP3,290 has been ripped from its price! I had been eyeing for this phone since last month and I can say that if you are keen on specs and price of an android phone, this suits you very much.

This phone is equipped with MediaTek MT6589, a very good chipset and a source of great power for performance. It has 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, Cortex A7 (whew, really this will make your phone work in snap!), PowerVR SGX544 GPU (used in Samsung phones), 1GB RAM, 4GB internal storage (this is quite the lowdown for this very good phone but with just a few tweaks with this device, you can make an external SD Card be used as an internal storage instead, so this is not much of big deal), 5-inch HD IPS display (note that it's HD!), 8MP rear camera and 2MP in front, Dual-sim capable, USB OTG that will let you connect USB devices to it, microSD card slot expandable up to 32GB, and 2,000 mAh battery that will let you use your phone for 10 hours as a hard gamer does. This phone comes with Android Jellybean 4.1.2 but can be updated and downgraded anytime you want.

So, if you want to have an above-entry level phone and is feeling great with savings on-hand, just grab this at any myPhone store. There's one in SM North.

How to Upgrade/Downgrade/Flash New ROM in your Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt or Ainol Novo Venus 7?

For starters, the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt is a rebranded Ainol Novo Venus 7 Lite. So, the firmwares (FW) for Venus 7 will work for the Fusion Bolt. If you flash or upgrade your Fusion Bolt to the existing Novo Venus 7 firmwares, you can note the difference in performance and in interface. And I can say that this firmware is way snappier than the stock firmware by Cherry Mobile. This tutorial is updated with the latest firmwares! Excited now?

If you want to familiarize yourself with the specifications of Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt, click here.

How to Have 2GB Internal Storage in Your Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt or Ainol Novo Venus 7?

Disclaimer: Do this at your own risk. But I assure you that I have tried it many times already and found no problem doing it. This is an easy tutorial and can be done within 5 minutes.
This patch allots additional 1GB internal memory storage in your tablet. This additional space is acquired from the external memory storage. That is, if you have 4GB external storage space and 1GB in internal, after this patch you will have 3GB storage in external and  2GB in internal storage.
Additional memory storage will mean more memory for your apps if you haven't switched your SD card as internal memory. This is so, because in my experience, I wasn't been able to find a tweak to make the SD card as internal memory. If you have the tweak to do this, let me know!

So let's begin!

Comodo IceDragon: A Faster Version of Firefox

I was having problem with Comodo Dragon, a chromium browser, because its flashplayer is not functioning properly so I decided to uninstall-and-reinstall it. As I was browsing through comodo.com, Comodo Dragon official website, I saw this Comodo IceDragon tagged as The Faster and Safer Version of Firefox. I got curious so, I downloaded this new browser HERE.

I can say that it speaks to it's tag. It's faster really and since it's a Comodo product, it's secured! The default appearance has a pint of Comodo Dragon but the functions were developed in a Firefox core browser but suited to privacy and security as well as social media functionality. You got to feel that webpages are loading smoothly and faster because this browser offers easy usage and minimizes PC resources. And of course, it is compatible with Firefox plug-ins. Try the IceDragon and confirm that my words are not pure sales talk!
