How To Turn Any Android Phone Interface Into An iPhone 10 Interface

I got an email recently with a bizarre suggestion and a link to apps that let you turn your android phone interface into iPhone 10 or iPhone X interface. Then I thought in my mind why would anyone want to turn Android phone into iphone?

Obviously your Android phone will not magically turn into iPhone 10, but what this app developer did is an iPhone 10 launcher for Android.

One of the great things about Android device is that you can do some pretty weird stuff out of the box, you can install any launcher that you want and there’s plenty of good ones and weird ones.

Maybe there’s a little bit of practicality for individuals coming from iOS super familiar with the iPhone 10 gestures and want to switch over, truthfully I think this idea is more of novelty.

Nonetheless, I have been asked to check it out, so I went ahead and do so.

There are bunch of this apps on the Google playstore, I never imagine this eco system even existed anyhow, I selected the first one in the search result, Phone X launcher this particular one already has over a million download.

Phone X launcher turns android into iPhone X, iOS 11 & control center iOS 11 with iLauncher.

In the past I showed you guys an app that put the iPhone 10 notch on any android phone, Phone X launcher obviously goes a step further, but some of the implementation here is similar.

Turning an Android interface into iPhone X interface

To start the Phone X launcher you pick an iOS inspired wallpaper, enable permission for notification access.

Firstly I tried swiping up my pixel 2 XL really felt like iPhone 10, at the top I have a different look and feel to the quoa to the reception meter after clicking it I got a notch on the launcher which really looks bizarre.

I think if you have the pixel 2 XL this is probably the last thing in the world you thinking about doing, maybe if you have some older android phone and you are sick of it for some reason and this may change it a little bit for you, gives you icon that looks like iPhone, anyway it puts you in the same territory so you can catch your width of the Apple universe and it’s funny you see chrome with safari logo, actually I can’t recommend it.

If you want to completely change the look and feel of your android phone, download something like Nova it’s also free and has about 50 million download and it’s real legit, you can change everything about the look and feel of your android phone.

With Nova you can change the size of logo, you can swipe out individual logo do lot of stuffs, I personally recommend this other than changing your android device into iPhone 10 interface.

Internet is largest computer network and more than 3 billion people are using Internet, I mean my friends your friends my family your family everyone, almost everyone are using Internet in some way or the other ways, Now the question is can you track the location of a person using Internet? The answer is absolutely yes.

However, it’s impossible to hide your location on the Internet unless you’re using a VPN, I’m not going to talk about VPN in this tutorial, anyway in this tutorial we will be talking about how to track the location of a person using Internet.

Step 1:

Find Their IP Address

IP Address is something which we use to determine the location of a device which connected to the Internet, just like how you determine or how you describe your physical location by mentioning your physical address the same way on the Internet we use IP addresses to determine where a specific Internet connected device is located on the earth so using this IP address we can basically track or tell from where the Internet user is visiting or using the Internet.

So how do you actually know the IP address of someone, well you can basically create a domain for yourself and you can send the link of your domain to the person whose IP address you want to find and when that person visits you don’t mind using his Internet connection his IP address can be recorded, but creating your own domain and doing all this stuff may be a little bit complicated so you can follow this alternative and simple way to find the IP address of anyone.

Firstly, go to www.iplogger.org and you will see a web page like the image below, click on get IP logger code.

In this page you will see your IP logger link to record the statistics, just go ahead and copy it.

Now you need to send this link to the person whose location you want to track, you can send this link through Facebook, Whatsapp, Gmail or any platform you wish, you can even shorten the link if you want.

For this tutorial I will send this link to myself, so once a person clicks on the link he will be seeing pay something like the image below,  but in the background his IP address is also located and we’re going to see it.

Now go back to the IP logger tab and this time copy the link for viewing the statistics, highlight the link, right click and select Go to the following link.

The next screen will list out all the IP addresses that are recorded using your IP logger link and as you can see below the first IP address is basically my IP address and it is recorded when I clicked on the link.

Step 2:

Track the IP Address

Once you have the IP address you can go to www.ip-tracker.org,  scroll down and type in the IP address into the text box and click on search.

It’s going to show you all the following  information about that particular IP address which includes:

• The location of that Particular IP address
• It shows the country, the state, city and the postal code.
• The name of the ISP Internet Service Provider.

So you just saw how we can actually track the location of anyone using the Internet.

The game is based on the 50-day countdown that includes tasks such as player has to watch the horror movie and so on until the last task. The most horrific part of the game is the last task to commit suicide, usually via live stream. It is also stated that players are manipulating to participate in the game through a game master that dealing with the players online. This social media deadly trend occurs exclusively online. Therefore we are lacking with to connect it to specific cases.

A Short Introduction to New Social Media Trend

It is an online media game that bucks up people to do some tasks and when a player starts doing it and at the end encourages players to do suicide. On Instagram, there are dozens of posts are presently related this deadly and dangerous game. According to information, we have accumulated; the online game admin provides players almost 50 tasks that a player has to complete each task at each day. There are certain kinds of tasks such as self-harming, to view the scary movies and walking around midnight and the last one is to commit suicide. After assigning a number of back to back tasks, admin starts providing hard tasks till the task of suicide. According to the reports, the NSPCC young kids and teens should don’t bother to follow their peer's footsteps that lead them into real danger.

“Young kids may get themselves in real danger while completing the Blue Whale game tasks”, an official stated that. So, therefore they should avoid that sort of games rather than compromise their lives. On another hand, “parents should teach their kids and teens that don’t put themselves in any activity in the online world or real world that can harm them badly”, he further said that. Teach young kids and teens don’t bother with the words that translate them as cowards, just say no to the activities which are less protective. Parents also teach their kids how to make affirm decisions rather than getting into the challenges such as “Blue Whale Challenges”.

On another hand, Gonzalez’s parents, who come to know that their young child commits suicide in his closet, and parents know that it happened due to the Blue Whale Game challenge.

A victim’s father Jorge Gonzales has found that a death of his son was broadcasting the whole incident. Later on, he further found that his son Isaiah has sent a number of photos of already completed tasks of Blue Whale Challenge to their friends. “All the stuff was related to satanic and stuff like that and my son was never into it, Gonzales stated to a local Texas news station.

CNN has reported another case of suicide due to the deadly Blue Whale; a young 16-years old girl took her life. The internet game has destroyed the piece of the number of families over the year, according to the reports.

If we consider the both of the incidents Georgia and Texas interconnected to the Blue whale game, then it would be the first to Americans deaths has taken by the deadly Blue Whale Challenge.

There are people in the majority who think that it is not more than just a rumor or a story of millennial urban legend story to scare the parents. Anyhow, a high school in Alabama don’t take the news and stories of Blue Whale Challenge at lighter note and tell the parents that they should keep their kids and teens safe and tell them to avoid Blue Whale Game, the same kind of warnings has been made by the police department of Florida, Miami and even in the United Kingdom. On another hand, law enforcement agencies also pay their attention positively and tell the parents to monitor their child’s online presence by using the cell phone or PCs monitoring app to the fullest.

What Should Parents Do?

Parents should use the cell phone and windows monitoring app in order to track all the activities of young kids and teens. It enables parents to view the social media activities of kids and teens by using the IM’s social media of the monitoring software. The user will be able to view the IM’s logs, IM’s conversations, shared media files such as photos and videos. Parents will be able to get the screenshots of the activities remotely and they will be able to do the live screen recording of the cell phone or PC they are using at the moment. Parents can view browsing histories that enable them to know what sort of websites and apps their kids are visiting.

4 COMMON ITEL (ANDROID) PHONE PROBLEMS; HOW TO FIX THEM AND OPTIMIZE YOURS FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE

I’m dedicating this to those who want to enjoy and explore the Android experience but are not buoyant enough to exit entry level smartphones. Itel now has models running on Mediatek and Spreadtrum so you can tag along if you have any Mediatek (MTK) or Spreadtrum (SPD) entry level smartphone you wish to optimize for a better experience.

1. STORAGE SPACE RUNNING OUT

Messaging might not send or receive messages until more space is available on your device. Some system functions may not work. This is one of the first hurdles you’ll encounter once you’ve started installing apps.

What is this error and why am I getting it?

Your phone has an internal storage where apps and their data are installed to / saved. The problem here is that its a partition which is allocated a limited space so you could have a lot of space on your external SD card and Phone storage but still encounter this error. The root of this error is that you’ve used up the allotted space for apps and their data either due to that space being too small or you having installed too many apps.

Solution

1. Adoptable Storage: This enables you use your external SD card as an extension of your internal storage
2. Clear app data: The phone needs to first be rooted then the internal storage analyzed for apps (and their data) consuming a lot of space using Link2SD. I once recovered 3.72 GB from clearing just one app’s data
3. Delete media and uninstall unneeded apps: Delete heavy media files saved to phone / internal storage or move them to external SD card. Also uninstall all unneeded apps under Settings > Apps
4. Factory Reset: First, backup your important stuff. Go to Settings > Accounts and delete your Google account to avoid Factory Reset Protection (FRP) . Go to Settings > Backup & reset to wipe the phone or boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset

2. LAGGING / HANGING

Slight lagging is something to expect with use but its particularly terrible on low RAM phones. This could result in frequent restarts or unfortunately **** has stopped errors.

Why is my Itel phone lagging / hanging seriously?

Well, first off, Itel isn’t exactly notorious for being generous with RAM on their models. Apart from the Itel S11 Plus , Itel Wish A41 Plus , Itel S41, and maybe a model or two I forgot to mention (which I kind of doubt), Itel phones traditionally feature either 512 MB or 1GB of RAM. Now, the problem isn’t only the low RAM but also the system apps (Bloatware) which the phone is bombarded with from factory.

Solution

1. Debloat: First, you need to root your Itel phone then uninstall unneeded system apps using an app like Link2SD. I strongly recommend that you either have a compatible packet (pac) file / stock rom / firmware for your Itel phone or do a backup in custom recovery first so you can easily rollback incase the debloating exercise goes South
2. Create a ROM Zero: To create a stock flashable zip (ROM Zero), all you need is a custom recovery, stock boot.img and system.img . If you have the Mediatek firmware then you’ll find boot and system in the zip or rar file. For Spreadtrum pac files, you can extract the content of the pac file using Research or Upgrade Download tool.
3. Close apps not in use: Other than apps that have push notifications (e.g Email, Whatsapp, Hovatek app etc), ensure to exit apps currently not in use

3. OVERHEATING / QUICK BATTERY DRAIN

Unless you’re using an Itel phone with 5,000 mAh, you’re likely to encounter a relatively short battery time. This is often facilitated by or coupled with overheating. Someone exaggerated that he could cook beans with his Itel phone 🙂 .

Why is my Itel phone overheating and battery draining so quickly

Low end / entry level phones don’t handle duress too well and overheating is one way they voice out. Its quite normal to notice your Itel phone warming up slightly while charging or using but if it gets really hot then there’s likely a hardware issue lurking in the dark. Low end phones with crappy hardware will overheat regardless of what you do but Itel isn’t exactly crappy.

Solution

1. Turn off radios not in use: If you’re not actively using your Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Hotspot or 4G then turn them off
2. Watch the apps you run: Entry level phones aren’t for gaming so don’t push them. You should also reduce the number of apps you run at a time and check to be sure your phone isn’t infected with malware
3. Reduce screen brightness: Unless you’re a Mole, your screen doesn’t have to be so bright all the time
4. Pay attention to your Charger: If a particular charger makes your phone heat up significantly when charging then you should stay away from it

4. USB CONNECTION ISSUES

When it comes to USB connection, Spreadtrum (and by extension Itel phones) are another kettle of fish. Some of these issues also surface on Mediatek smartphones though.

What are the USB connection issues I might encounter on my Itel Android phone and how do I resolve them?

1. ADB detection issues: Getting ADB to detect your Spreadtrum phone requires an additional step which is to include your Spreadtrum Vendor ID in the adb_usb.ini file
2. MTP issues: An MTP issue could result in your PC being unable to detect your Phone storage and external SD card. Fixing this requires that you update your phone’s MTP drivers
3. Flashing tool detection issues: Before you attempt flashing a Mediatek or Spreadtrum device, you need to install the Mediatek VCOM or Spreadtrum Sciu2S drivers respectively. Unfortunately, that’s sometime not enough as you might still get errors which point at a detection (driver) error. In such a case, you’ll need to update the Mediatek or Spreadtrum phone’s drivers under Device Manager

Itel has made notable improvement and I believe they hold promise. I’m watching this brand keenly and only time will prove me right or right.

How To: Restore deleted iOS apps

From the beginning, I had my reservations about Apple products; no, it wasn't because of the price(maybe a little, but that's a rant for another time), but mainly it was because of things like this. Why would you have to re-purchase an app you already paid for just because you lost it(or uninstalled it)? At least that's what you had to do until not-so-long ago when Apple finally let users restore deleted iOS apps directly from the App Store.

Here's how:

On devices running iOS 11

• Launch the App Store
• Click on the prrofile icon at the top right corner.
• Tap on Purchased > My Purchases
• Choose Not on this iPhone.
• Select the app you wish to restore and hit the cloud icon.

On older versions of iOS

• Launch the App Store
• Tap on Updates-Purchased at the bottom menu.
• Select Not on this iPhone.
• Search for the app you want to restore and then tap on the coud icon.

Of course, you could always use the iTunes method

• Connect your iDevice to your PC or Mac then launch iTunes.
• Click on the device icon(should be somewhere in the sidebar), then select Apps > Install for the apps you need.
• Select Automatically Install New Apps if you want your apps on iTunes to sync with your iPhone whenever you connect.

And there you go! You don't have to pay for an app twice(or more; depending on how frequently your apps get missing or uninstalled)!
