FIGHT SPAM EMAIL

People are always moaning about junk email and yet never do anything about it...
You got time to send poker chips, hammers, nails and gold on random games..
Plenty of time to share posts & tweets.. SO WHY NOT SHARE THE EMAIL ?

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FORWARD THE EMAIL TO THE ACTUAL COMPANY

Got a bogus email from  Amazon?..  Simply click on FORWARD and send it to
stop-spoofing@amazon.com

Got a bogus email from PayPal?... Simply click on FORWARD and send it to
spoof@paypal.com

Got a bogus email from eBay?... Simply click on FORWARD and send it to
spoof@ebay.com

Got a bogus email from FedX?... Simply click on FORWARD and send it to
abuse@fedex.com

Got a bogus email from UPS?... Simply click on FORWARD and send it to
fraud@ups.com

Got a bogus email from Facebook?... Simply click on FORWARD and send it to
phish@fb.com

Got a bogus email from Netflix?... Simply click on FORWARD and send it to
phishing@netflix.com

once you have these email addresses in your address book, just hit forward, select the company and SEND :D

Its a real shame ALL company's just don't use a simple PHISHING @ THEIR DOMAIN
BUT All you need to do (to get an email address you need) is to Google the phrase

"Report Phishing" and the "Name of the company"

JUST REMEMBER  Most websites used for these phishing scams are paid for with stolen credit cards
its time to SHARE JUNK EMAIL WITH THE COMPANIES THEY RELATE TO..

GET PEOPLE CAUGHT, GET SERVERS SHUT DOWN.. MAKE IT NONE COST EFFECTIVE BY SIMPLY CLICKING FORWARD... AND PICKING THE COMPANY FROM YOUR ADDRESS BOOK...

IMAGINE THE FACES WHEN A SERVER DIES OR IS TAKEN AWAY BY THE POLICE

DO YOUR BIT!!

WANT A NIGHT OF FUN?,  GO INTO YOUR JUNK FOLDER & DO THE SAME FROM THEIR, WHO CARES IF THEIR JUNKED ALREADY?   WE ALL DO SO REPORT THEM!!!

FASTER YOU  ALL  NIP THIS IN THE BUD THE FASTER THEY MOVE ON, WE'VE ALREADY HELPED WITH INFO THATS STOPPED 1000's OF BOGUS CALLS FROM SIM CARDS BOUGHT WITH STOLEN CREDIT CARDS.. NOW LETS CLAMP DOWN ON THE EMAIL SPAMMERS TOO!

SHARE ME, STOP THEM!

YOU CAN ALSO FORWARD SPAM MAIL TO  spam@uce.gov  AND  reportphishing@apwg.org

Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI) Tips

Some use full commands and silent install switches for adding software and tweaks to WPI the Windows Post-Install Wizard

first DirectX.. grab your self the JUNE REDIST from microsoft
make a folder called DirectX put the exe in their and Right click on it and select "Extract To Here"
not got that extract option?  (install WinRAR its free for basic use)

once you have DirectX extracted to the folder (delete the exe you downloaded, but keep everything that came out of it)  then in WPI use the following command & path to run it

{START} "DirectXInstaller" /MIN /w "%wpipath%\Install\DirectX\DXSETUP.exe" /silent

Its important to remember there is a  "  after the .EXE, then a Space, then the switches
(want to make a complete DirectX Package with it all, read this)

What about adding WinRAR to WIP?
x86 (32bit)

{START} "WinRarx86Installer" /MIN /w "%wpipath%\Install\Software\x86\WinRAR_x86.exe" /s

x64 (64bit)

{START} "WinRarx64Installer" /MIN /w "%wpipath%\Install\Software\x64\WinRAR_x64.exe" /s

if you use the programs name with architecture including as its UNIQUE ID like WINRARX86 and WINRARX64  then you can add the X64 ID to the x86 Exclude box and vice versa (so only 1 can be chosen)

Microsoft Silverlight?  (the singular Q doesn't seam to make it silent any more unless you add /passive)

{START} "MSSLx86Installer" /MIN /w "%wpipath%\Install\Runtime\Silverlight_x86.exe /q /passive

{START} "MSSLx64Installer" /MIN /w "%wpipath%\Install\Runtime\Silverlight_x64.exe /q /passive

Microsoft Download Manager?

"%wpipath%\Install\Software\MS_DL_MAGR.msi" /passive

Hows about a Microsoft .NET exe?

{START} "MSdotNET" /MIN /w "%wpipath%\Install\Updates\NDP452-KB2901907-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe" /passive /norestart

on the Dependency's you could use

getOSver()="Win7"

so it only shows up on windows 7 systems, or use like

getOSver()="Win7" || "Win8" || "Win8.1"

also note you can run a BAT  or a CMD file simply using

"%wpipath%\Install\Scripts\NameOfYouBATorCMD.bat"

You may also notice some things clash with others, bat and cmd files seam to hold other stuff back while they work, but launching EXE and MSI files can launch multiples at once, in turn (depending on software choices) you may get windows installer service is in use by another processes, or please wait for the other installer to complete.. solution?

well you could impose the WAIT command using  /w
usage wise an example would be...

{START} "MSdotNET" /w /MIN "%wpipath%\Install\Updates\NDP452-KB2901907-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe" /passive /norestart

This shows what's installing on the WPI window
This makes it wait for the current thing running to finish
This runs it minimised to task bar

This would be handy to include with all exe and msi stuff you add, besides the fact you'll save windows installer getting confused, you'll also prevent any MSU files that patch .net failing while .net is actually still installing, but the /w is optional, as is the /MIN.

My little CMD file in action.. that installs the MSU files

the /w command in action making each install wait for the last to finish

Adobe Acrobat Silent Install Switch?

/sAll	Run installer in silent mode.
/sPB	Silent mode with minimum UI: show the progress bar only.
/rs	Reboot Suppress. Setup.exe will not initiate reboot even if it is required.
/rps	Reboot Prompt Suppress. If reboot is required, the system restarts without warning.

I would use something like
{START} "AdobeReader" /w /MIN "%wpipath%\Install\Readers\Acrobat.exe" /sAll /rs

something to remember is although seeing progress bars on software lets you know its running all ok, it slows things down (especially if windows is running on a temp native ms video driver)

WPI installing microsoft .net on Windows 7 SP1 followed by its required updates

note the main installer is x86 and x64 (so i added a single entry just for x86) i set up the updates after it (so one does the app & its x86 updates)  Then to save time (and the fact the updates don't do both)  I selected CLONE to make a copy  of the x86 and changed all the x86 references to x64.


NOTE:
when it comes to .NET updates, you could have ONE install listed under (both)
and have option to run ALL the actual updates (under it) BUT with a prefix to define Windows Architecture  before starting the update..

EXAMPLE
{86} {START} "DotNetX68Up1" /MIN /w "%wpipath%\install\7\Updates\x86\DotNET\NDP45-KB2972107-x86.exe" /passive /norestart

{64} {START} "DotNetX64Up1" /MIN /w "%wpipath%\install\7\Updates\x64\DotNET\NDP45-KB2972107-x64.exe" /passive /norestart

so it has the  {86}  or  the  {x64}  then  {START}  a space between  the   }  {
I also used the get os version to only make it show up on windows 7 (due to the EXE updates not really compatible with 8 or 8.1 as most there .net updates are MSU files)   I also set the "greyed out option" on the x86 to look for the bits64 thing  to set the greyed out on the x64 to the bits32.
This way when the WPI is run on an x64 installed OS it wont even have any visible x86 stuff  and when run on an x86 it won't show any x64 stuff.

 And to further avoid conflicts i also set the dependencies screen to block any x86 UNIQUE ID  if x64 is selected and vice versa under  EXCLUDES on the Dependencies screen.

Why wont reg files work?  its a problem with WPI.. knock off BOTH the  "  " symbols

EXAMPLE WORKING
{REGEDIT} %wpipath%\Install\Tweaks\filename.reg

EXAMPLE NOT WORKING
{REGEDIT} "%wpipath%\Install\Tweaks\filename.reg"

DON'T use the  "  and DON'T add any silent switches (and it'll just work silently)  ;)

Microsoft Office ?{START} "Office2007Install" /w "%wpipath%\Install\Office2007\setup.exe" /config config.xml

note that my config.xml has my serial number in and i removed the !! commented lines so it installs the components i want, but note ive left out the /MIN
(that's so it doesn't run minimised)  i did that for people who run this and use others keys on their systems (so they essentially need to interact, enter their name and their key for them to use it)  So that's not defaulted to  /MIN  (minimise) so you know when its ready to input details.

I guess if your sound drivers pre-loaded you could have it Chain a sound file Before the app link (like i did the .net updates having app and updates on one) what if you actually chain an audio file then the app   (a beep or what ever) so you know when a specific installer is open or pending..
i feel some voice overs coming on for sure LOL.

go on.. seeing as im on a roll.. how about VLC Media Player Silent Install ?
only issue with VLC is you have to set a Language switch (to which English is 1033)

{START} "VLCx86Installer" /MIN /w "%wpipath%\Install\7\Software\x86\VLC_x86.exe" /L=1033 /S

Also note that i use numbers in path for OS version simply because one day they may no longer support that OS with the Latest (this way you always maintain OS backward compatibility as your menu grows)

I also Re-Name them installers to more simple terms (you can get version number by right clicking, hit properties then the version tab)  renaming these installers to simple stuff like JaVa_x86.exe makes it easier to Update your Disc/USB by just getting the latest release and renaming that (rather than having to edit loads of the menu boxes) Though you should change the version details on the box that checks what ver is installed and the visual box offering the software to install, you can get that via the EXE's properties once installed via the ?.?.?.?  options.. The current VLC for example is 2.2.6.0  ;)

I must be possessed tonight...

MSE Microsoft Security Essentials silent install  (windows must already be activated)

{START} "MSE7x64Installer" /MIN /w "%wpipath%\Install\7\Software\x64\mseinstallx64.exe" /s /runwgacheck /o

you can Remove the  /o  and it'll check online for an update  OR you can leave the /o in place so the nets not required and then just Chain the update exe Under it like this..

{START} "MSE7x64Updater" /MIN /w "%wpipath%\Install\7\Software\x64\mpam-fe.exe"


odd shots of WPI's ive messed about with...
(and NO i wont provide these so don't ask for them)

I have more to add to this post with bits ive been working on, messing about seeing if its a viable platform for servicing my own systems.  At the moment ive been experimenting with software based interfaces for a mate (who owns this blog, that i sometimes write for...)

My own needs would be more suited to Plugns (audio mainly)  VST  (stand alone and installers)  so many installers, registry tweaks and so on (for varied software)  Id like to create an external drive where i can install the likes of "Native Instruments Knokat"  or  "Reason 5"  and have it copy over all the extra stuff for the specific app chosen  (i don't have big terrabytes of drive space on my main computer) So i often make a restore point, install something wildly drive hogging with all its extras and then restore back and install something else..  this menu makes system changes like that a breeze...

Universal Driver Disk Idea

what about a drivers section that shows Nothing (unless that driver is available?)
so you have 3 folders  AnyBIT (drivers working on x86 and x64) then you have an x64 folder and an x86 folder.. In them folders you have the Lan, Modem, Network and so on.. make one lot of folders (then while empty copy them to the other 2 dir's

then place drivers in the folders and rename the exe files to   setup.exe

then in WPI (dependencies tab, bottom LEFT box) you would add the likes of
FileExists("%wpipath%\Install\Drivers\AnyBIT\Bluetooth\setup.exe")
FileExists("%wpipath%\Install\Drivers\AnyBIT\CaptureCard\setup.exe")
FileExists("%wpipath%\Install\Drivers\AnyBIT\Cardreader\setup.exe")
FileExists("%wpipath%\Install\Drivers\AnyBIT\Chipset\setup.exe")
FileExists("%wpipath%\Install\Drivers\AnyBIT\Dongle\setup.exe")
FileExists("%wpipath%\Install\Drivers\AnyBIT\Fax\setup.exe")
and so on for each one...  this way only available drivers would show up on the menu  ;)
(speedy way to make these is make one list for AnyBIT)
add them all to the list then in notepad hit edit, find and replace and replace
\AnyBIT\
with
\86\    and click replace all
(yes i have met people who have taken hours to edit a bat file and list like this LOL)

you can also throw the architecture command in line to avoid the wrong one being installed
{OS=Win8.1} {x64} {START} "PrinterDriver" /w "%wpipath%\Install\Drivers\x64\Printer\setup.exe"
that will make WPI skip it if its ticked on a 32bit running OS

feel free to leave your ideas and tweaks in the comments, they may help me and others get more out of this fantastic program.

Remember WPI uses the &&  ||  phrasing, so you can also define an OS and Architecture in the (bottom left) dependency box so that stuff wont even show up on systems you don't want it to

 this for example would stop it showing up an an x64 windows 8.1 and hide it from every other version of windows its run on
 getOSver()=="Win8.1" && getBits()==32

if you wanted it to run on both, you could simply just state  getOSver()=="Win8.1"
or be cocky and state
getOSver()=="Win8.1" && getBits()==32 || getBits()==64
so its using the AND and the OR statement

If we wanted to Detect something to see if its already installed (so we don't re-install it)
we could use the Dependencies box on the bottom right, so if it detects the file presence AND its actual installed version number, it'll grey out the option to install it.  Using the OR expression you can check both locations (regardless of if its installed in program files.. or program files (x86) by checking Both Paths with the ||   OR in between

getFileVersion("%PROGRAMFILES%\Malwarebytes Anti-Malware\mbam.exe")>="2.3.55.0" || getFileVersion("%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Malwarebytes Anti-Malware\mbam.exe")>="2.3.55.0"

if its Not installed (OR you have a Newer Version already)  it'll grey out the option to install the 2.3.55.0 you added to your install dir in wpi

It opens up some fantastic ideas if you wanted to make a servicing disk, ber in mind windows 7 for example (be it 7 or 7 SP1) is just  winver 7, so if you put the disk in a none sp1 machine stuff would show up you'd not want available until SP1 was installed...

So you could check for windows 7 && the service pack 1, or you could check for windows 7 so if you wanted to offer the ability to Install SP1, the left box would be

getOSver()=="Win7" && getBits()==32 && getSPver()==0
or
getBits()==64 && getOSver()=="Win7" && getSPver()==1
the order often has random effects, try your design in different environments

Windows 8 or 8.1 Won't Install

Having a problem installing windows 8 or 8.1 (or even windows 10)

A lot of old systems won't let you install windows 8 or 8.1 especially the x64 versions
but there is a really simple solution

When you get the error message after rebooting and it says

windows setpup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware

Don't click ok.. (or it'll force a reboot)

Just HOLD   SHIFT down and press  F10

When the command prompt opens simply type     msoobe
then press enter.. and then wait a moment...

The screen should go to the enter product key screen (enter one.. or hit skip)
continue with the setup options..

Afterwards type the word   EXIT   on the cmd box
when that closes, click ok on that wouldn't install windows error

Job done....

if typing msoobe gives an error, your CMD window may not be pointed at
C:\Windows\System32\\oobe
if its not, then  type   cd and press enter, then type  cd  again and press enter
then type   cd windows  hit enter,  type  cd system32  hit enter, type  cd oobe  hit enter
then type  msoobe and hit enter..

Microsoft Security Essentials 4.5.216.0 Windows XP Red Box Solution

Ok ive been asked this over and over again so i figured id share a little info on this
so your still using xp as PosReady but the MSE pop up is driving you mad?

So.. how about this...

1) you have  4.5.216.0 installed and its Red and the pop up box is driving you mad
Solution, download the one thats on the MS site here OR from filehippo  here then right click the exe and extract it (7zip or winrar will let you do that)  then go into the   x86   folder  and  right click on the file called  epp.msi   and select extract to here,    now open the folder to microsoft security essentials (so its ready to access, normally C:\Program files\Microsoft security client)  now go back in the folder you extracted to, look for a file called    msseces.exe    and right click on it and select CUT   now right click on your task bar and select task manager.. end task on the process called    msseces.exe  then right click on the program files version of the folder & paste (replacing the file) and then re-open MSE from your start menu.
Notice when you go to the little drop down you still have the latest scan engine, malware engine and program version (so windows update WONT downgrade you)  ;)


2) you have the version thats green or red, but is older than 4.5.216.0
Solution, first (if your outdated MSE is still green ut an older scan engine) Make a copy of the file called  msseces.exe because you know that works :)   If its not green, follow the steps above to get access to a clean & green  msseces.exe
 then download Microsoft Security Essentials 4.5.216.0 (if you google good enough you'll find it)
Once you have installed  4.5.216.0, do the end task and put the  older  msseces.exe in the folder (as descriptive in the 1st option above.  And again as above, check the about to see its the new version and scan engine.. yet green..

Last but not least.. the REF database AKA viral Pattern file update link is Here 

also note...
even with the red box, you are still protected if it says its "ON" and its "Up To Date" but i know the green monopoly house is more soothing

remove pop up from MSE

TECH:
Microsoft Silverlight (plugin) thats what makes the adverts update on facebook, so they change, even if you sit on the same page, the plugin also lets you re-arrange your photos. With that, in turn it'll let you update code in real time (even though its not saved to facebooks servers)
IE. without silverlight you would have to Edit the page save it & then refresh.. that refresh would loose all saved changes & load the unmodified page from fb..

Windows 8 Tips, Tricks, Advice And Warnings

Wow windows 8 and 8.1.. Ooooops says someone in a dark corner at microsoft. So what have we got here, well its a scary operating system, especially for those who despised windows xp's "network sharing and login basis in the home os" Windows 8 takes that one level further and begins its walk in the realms of iOS and Android... yes that's right.. windows 8 has a store.. no more are you offered out the box to just simply create a User name and password ON YOUR MACHINE...

You CAN create a "Local Account" if you stick in an email and the wrong password twice (don't click try again, just click create local account)

Here's some Advise (Before you even turn on that New PC or New LapTop)

Hit the net on a different system and create a brand new Hotmail OR Live mail account
On Its "Profile Information" what ever NAME (first and 2nd) will become Your Windows Log On Name  AND the PATH to your Documents & Settings..
you may remember these paths on windows XP as simply
C:\Documents and Settings\Users\Your Windows User Name\.. Private Personal Stuff....

Using Your own personal Email to set up windows 8 will make that path your FULL NAME
Now this is something Websites can Read from your machine...
User Name, Operating System, Browser Type and other info like IP and what not...
So that is why i recommend a NEW hotmail or live account for setting it up.

For the noobs i shall go into more detail about why not to use your normal email or an email anyone has in their book..  and this may scare some of the not so noob'ish too.  Once you log on, you get a folder on the top left of the desk top view, this folder is ALL the storage upon your email account, as you no on windows live you can store around 10gb of stuff, be it photos videos or even EXE files (anyone accesses your email and it happens to many) they can upload a file, that is something you will inadvertently access when opening your "My Documents"  so you NEVER give anyone this email OR use it to mail ANYONE, you don't even add it to your other address books, you just use it to log onto the machine and nothing more (under login options you can log in with a pin) i think the log in with photo is the most pathetic thing ive ever seen so don't use that or even set that up.

Other really bad ideas (network wise) is the fact you can share these SUB Folders with anyone with a windows live account, so your my documents "with a little malware in your system" can make all your personal stuff public (windows gets updates for vulnerabilities ALL the time) Even more oddly you can Share other folders "right over the net like an FTP of sorts" using the hotmail.com  live .com websites as an interface to access them folders.  SO considering how vulnerable we became moving from windows 98 and Windows Millennium to Windows XP, this shift from XP, Vista or Win7 up to Win8 is a risky business unless your on a "hardware firewall" then it certainly isn't an operating system i would recommend, that said wont be long until you don't have a choice... hence this blog post to try and help.

Note, I don't recommend these 3rd party "Start Menus" because just like windows XP, certain updates like the shell32.dll or even implementations to the UAC system can stop you using your system. BUT what you can do is change the start menu you get with windows 8 to better suit what you need.

You can right click on the "Tiles Start Menu" and select open "location" you'll see your essentially inside the folder view of the classic start menus of yesteryear. Renaming and moving stuff around in their will change what's shown on the tiles menu, then you can also right click the tiles and re-size them. So you can organise the start menu "Old School" in the folder, just like always (remember though some are under "Your Login Name"  and others are under the path of "All Users"  just in case you get lost trying remove something that appears to be gone, yet shows up, easy mistake in this new environment. Windows 8 Internet Explorer comes with Flash built in, doesn't include java or shockwave.

What ever the OEM virus killer is, i advise you Don't even open that, and if it opens just hit close, go to control panel, programs and features, and Uninstall the virus killer (be it mcafee, norton, panda or what ever) once installed, reboot, go back into control panel and open "Windows Defender" Updated it, now you have a FREE virus killer.

To avoid confusion here, microsoft past and present had its own antimalware, antivirus and a duel package.

IE...
Windows XP = Microsoft Security Essentials <--this is virus killer & anti malware
Windows Vista = Windows Defender <--this is only anti malware

Windows 7 = Windows Defender <--this is virus killer & anti malware
Windows 8 = Windows Defender <--this is virus killer & anti malware

So the misconception that Windows Defender is not a virus killer is only true within Windows Vista and not the others  :)

I WILL UPDATE THIS MORE WHEN I HAVE TIME
BUT I WANTED TO POST THIS NOW SO PEOPLE STOP ENDING UP WITH BAD MY DOCUMENTS PATHS AND WACKY WINDOWS USERS NAMES

People Trying To Make Multiple "Blog Posts" Upon Page Tabs, RATHER THAN Comments

People Trying To Make Multiple Blog Posts Upon Pages And Failing  lmfao

Ok i have been watching random tutorial videos (them annoying kids who type in notepad with real crappy music blasting away) and i came to the conclusion that every Tutorial on youtube for this was a total Pile of Sh**  so i decided to write one for my mate whos been trying to do this for a number of years.. and after looking for videos to "send him"  i thought jeeezz screw this lmao

FIRST:
You Need MORE Than ONE BLOG!!!  (FACT!!)
don't argue, just deal with it lol

SECOND:
You Create as many blogs (AS YOU NEED PAGES AKA THREADS)
(and Keep the blog names pretty much the same, add a 1 and a 2 at the end of their names)

THIRD:
Create your FIRST Main Blog and get the Template, the Colour Scheme JUST THE WAY "YOU" Want It..
Make sure the Layout, down the sides, the adsense, all that stuff is ALL set up and Sorted...
(FORGET PAGES FOR NOW, SO DON'T MAKE ANY YET)

FORTH:
Save your Blogger  "Template"  oo yes... now where cooking with code lolz

FIFTH:
Create Your OTHER blogs (that WILL serve as Pages/Forum threads)
and Import your Template Upon each of the other blogs....

SIXTH:
Look at this Image, note i access that BOX from the   "Layout Tab"   NOT the   "Pages Tab"

Access this screen on your MAIN blog..
Use the ADD Link and rather than you adding a Page, Your Adding A Blog (a Thread)

You With This?  lmfao,  can you even believe this capability Is Their?

Now each TAB/PAGE  on your Blogger can be an actual Blog/Forum/Threads....

Free APPS FOR iPad iPod and iPhone Apps and Games and NO Jailbreak Required

I am going to let you into one of the best secrets to the iPhone, iPad and iPod...
that some of you may know and some of you may not...

How to get REAL FREE Apps and Games..
Apps and Games that you would normally have to buy..

With NO Jail Break or Hacking Needed, And It Is 100% Legal...

   and ALL Available from the Official iTunes App Store. FREE

There are a few apps out their that are run by people who convince companies on the app store to give away one of their retail apps for free (for 24 hours)  BUT once you click Install on one of these apps you have then added it to your iTunes account   "that means its Yours Forever" even if you delete it off your device...

Some apps offer a discount on the purchase, again once bought like that you can later use the Restore Purchase to get the app back.  Other considerations are if you DON'T have an iPad but you DO plan to get one.. nothing stops you using these apps on your iPhone to see what is avalible for free today.. and then using iTunes on your PC or MAC to manually search the store for the iPad app and downloading it that way.
(so when you get an iPad in the future, you have apps to go on it)

I have saved well over £140 so far using these apps to download software from the iTunes store on my iPhone 3GS and i have amassed a fair bit of ipad software to, so my iTunes account is probably worth around £140 so far (and remember you can have your purchases installed on up to 3 devices at a time)
All of the apps offered (when you click on them) all take you to their official iTunes store page, so the apps you are downloading are coming right from the manufacture. YES "some" of these apps are also available on the Android Market and Google Play as well so you can also get free apps and games on your android phone or tablet, and wireless book  ;)

Why would they do this.. What's the catch?
giving an app away for 24 hours not only gets you some promotion, maybe more sales of other apps, but also builds the "downloads count" and brings in much more user feedback & reviews, helping to improve further updates.. so whats the catch?  their oddly isn't one.. wey hey  :D

The first App I recommend you download onto your iDevice is Apps Gone Free
this app shows anywhere from 5 to 9 free apps every 24 hours and remember once you download one, its attached to your iTunes account forever.. and remember you can always use iTunes its self to download iPad apps, or iPhone apps if your using an iPad already but are looking to get an iPhone at a later date, because ber in mind "not all" apps work on both iPad and iPhone, so for some you need both.

Apps Gone Free

The Next App I Recommend Is FreeAppMagic
this app offers 3 free apps every 24 hours and again once you have an app its yours forever.
The 3rd rocket you select asks you to log in with facebook, you can say "no thanks" and then select the rocket again to view the app..

Free App Magic

The other cool thing is this one also keeps track of how much you have saved since you started.

Next up is such a kick ass app its just unreal FreeAppList - Save Your Money
this things massive, note if an app has a price then its a Paid App (that "maybe" free)
if its NOT got a Price, then its just a Free app (ber in mind a paid app for free is a FULL Paid App)
IE paid apps have no adverts or limitations
So try to get the apps that usually cost (them that show a price in green but crossed out)
MAKE SURE THEIR STORE BUTTON SAYS FREE on the iTunes store page before clicking   ;)
It has about 22 category's separating the apps and it lists up to 10000 apps/games

Free App List

Next up is FGOTD aka Free Game Of the Day
its all in the name and you get to download top games for free
(sadly this wont work on the iPhone 3GS) but it works on other devices.

Also check out AppOfTheDay
they give away apps to

AppOfTheDay

And also look at Appoday
they give away either an App or a Discount, or they arrange for a special bonus if you download a free game today,  IE the games already free, but downloading it today may get you gold, or a character or a level unlock or something (that would of normally been an in app purchase)

AppoDay

Another one is called  AppGratis
sadly this was banned from the iStore because the iTunes terms of service states a developer can only promote their own apps, which makes one wonder how all the other apps have not been banned.
NOTE that AppGrattis still works if you have it, you just can't download it from the app store anymore.
so if its on your phone.. back it up to your pc or mac. you CAN also just visit the AppGratis website Here and see what's free (then search the iTunes Store for the download manually ;)
App Gratis is still available on Google Play for use on Android phones..

AppGratis

Another website listing freeApps http://freeappalert.com

 

NOTE:

If you don't have an iPad or an iPhone but you do have plans to get one or the other in the future, then nothing stops installing iTunes on your PC and setting up a free Apple ID and using the web to see what these apps are giving away. Then manually searching with iTunes and downloading these apps
(IE adding them to your apple id for future use)

Samsung Mobile Phone & JAVA Tips

Samsung Tocco Mobile Phone Tips

Saw this crap a lot of times around the internet recently when i was trying to remember
how to REMOVE that white and Blue G Symbol Icon on the Samsung Tocco Lite GT-S5230
ive had mine about a year &amp; my mate just got one


Loads of stupid pages full of adverts and mostly talking about unblocking a contact.. what kinda of reply is that ffs, other people on Yahoo answers also said it can't be done.. yeah right....  IT CAN....






So i was messing about with it for him &amp; tryna remember some of the basics
and Goolge was NO help at all!!!!!
so i dug out my disks ide burnt back when i did mine and heres a little guide


Depending on the Phones FirmWare
there was a number of codes you needed to no
such as the

Admin-Menu
Operator PreConfiguration
Internals Master Key

and a few others.....
These HIDDEN SYSTEM MENUS were accessed via your Phones Dialer
using codes that Begin with  *#   and end in *#

I have managed to cut through ALL the menus IN ALL the "CURRENT "  FirmWares
to bring you ONE CODE to access the AUTO POWER ON GPRS......

when you use this key  and then Un-Tick The box  (RESTART THE PHONE!!!!)
the Blue G logo will be GONE.....    BUT    when you wish to access the internet
OR open an APP that Requires the Internet IT WILL APPEAR AND IT WILL WORK.
When you close the app, GPRS will also close &amp; the icon will go away again....

WARNING!!!!!

If you have Enabled Mobile Tracking in the security section of the phone
  (to monitor your kids movements or a partner whose not all their in the head)
         that tracking may No Longer Work when the phone is off....
Also PLEASE NOTE
"If" you "COULD/DID" turn it off and go back in and it IS OFF,
yet the blue G is still their....

 Then clearly your phone is doing something Behind your back...
IE.. mobile tracker is on..  or FB is always logged in...
IE IE Something of Yours MUST  be accessing the net
so saying i turned it off &amp; its still their is YOUR PROBLEM &amp; NOT THIS GUIDE.....


ALSO NOTE Turning off the Auto Power On GRPS will save you up to 20% of your battery life  :)

Here is the Code to bring up the Option to turn OFF the auto power on
  if its "Ticked"  Untick it....

Open Phone Dialer &amp; Type In This Code   *#4777*8665#
(this works on MOST Samsung phones and if it doesn't, it wont mater)
you'll just get WRONG number &amp; nothing will be changed

You can also use the same code to go back in and turn it back on...


Here as some MISC FirmWare Codes For Samsung Tocco's Ive Encountered
(They Vary Between Model &amp; FirmWare)
you will notice that GPRS option when you go through your menus
I just provided the Exact Direct Code to save you time...
and in case you have a firmware where the Menu Access codes them selves have been changed



FirmWare = S5230XPJK1 = Codes
Admin-Menu: *#5239870*#
Operator PreConfiguration: *#27236*#
Internals Master Key: *#7092463*#

FirmWare = S5230XPIK5 = Codes
Admin-Menu: *#5239870*#
Internals Master Key: *#7092463*#
Operator PreConfiguration: *#27236*#

FirmWare = S5230XEII4 = Codes
Admin-Menu: *#6984125*#
Operator PreConfiguration: *#6984125*#
Internals Master Key: *#9072641*#
Operator Code for Pre-configuration *#73561*#



How can i check what firmware i have on the samsung tocco ?
Open the Dialer and Dial   *#1234#

"""DON'T press ANY of the On Screen Buttons that appear"""
just press the Power Off Button ONCE to close the screen


How can i unlock a Samsung Tocco Light?  Multiloader V5.56
that's dead easy, their are video guides on youtube
(with all needed tools in the video descriptions)
just read the comments to see if people say yes or no
and also try to use a LAP TOP to do it
power loss during phone flash can be risky
You only need the basic data transfer cable to do it to

MultiLoader_V5.56.exe

Also make sure you plug phone in and let all the new hardware stuff come and go
(plug phone in to computer/laptop when phones OFF &amp; go through the new hardware)
(plug phone in again with phone on)  making sure to keep using the SAME USB port
saves windows finding new hardware during a FLASH and taking control of the port
ALSO when the flasher says its DONE wait a bit and if u have to turn off the phone
IF the flasher comes up failed
(do it again,  AND DON'T turn phone off or unplug it
leave it in download mode and do it again


Plugging im my Tocco, the PC keeps saying found new hardware for Mobile Broadcom and windows cant find driver when it checks my pc or the disk ?
Google this  OR this "V_Mobile1.0 Broadcommdriver"  and "Pre-Install USB Drivers" and "MCCI Corporation"
(if google looks for something else AND says OR search for, use the Or search for)
google has a horrible thing were it Changes what you typed in
and shows you results for what IT THOUGHT YOU MEANT......
  "V_Mobile1.0 Broadcommdriver"    IS A FILE NAME,    NOT A TYPO
you would think Samsung would of put that driver on their disk right?  BAH!!!


you can also get a Wallpaper Maker, takes 3 Pictures on PC and merges the 3 into 1
  google  "Samsung Tocco Wallpaper Maker"
or try  "S5230WallpaperCreator"   or "Copyright © Oleg Zhuk 2009"
AGAIN, make sure google doesn't show wrong results with its DID YOU MEAN...

 

S5230WallpaperCreator.exe

ALSO NOTE THIS BEFORE GAME/APP INSTALL QUESTIONS

SAMSUNG TOCCO/Lite/Ultra  =  JAVA PHONE

SAMSUNG GALAXY =  ANDROID PHONE

ANDROID IS AN OPERATING SYSTEM
JAVA IS AN OPERATING SYSTEM
(they are NOT the same)

why can't I install Java Games On The Galaxy?  "Moronic Question"
how can i run Java Games On a Galaxy?  (with a JAVA Emulator  GOOGLE!!!!)
GOOGLE...  (asking this kinda crap is like playing a DVD in a Washing Machine FFS)


So HOW can I Install Java Games On My Samsung Tocco
(remember this is a TOCCO TIPS POST.. NOT a Galaxy Post)
this also isn't a RANDOM MOBILE PHONE HACKING BLOG.. 
LOOK WERE YOU ARE...
 ****Don't ask any NONE Tocco Illegal Related Questions Here*****
And i am in this mood over the stupid questions from the tocco video i did
which NO ONE READ THE DESCRIPTION FOR WHAT THEY WERE TOLD IN THE VIDEO!!!


To Install a JAR file  (that's ON YOUR PHONE)
Copy the file (game APP or what ever JAR) into your PHONE
Right into the ROOT "Media"  then rename it to   1.jar

Open the Phone Browser and Create a BOOKMARK
THIS IS THE WEB ADDRESS FOR THE File and Its PATH IN THE PHONE

file:///Media/1.jar

To Install a JAR file  (that's ON YOUR SD MEMORY CARD)
Copy the file (game APP or what ever JAR) into your SD CARD
Right into the ROOT "Media"  then rename it to   1.jar

Open the Phone Browser &amp; Create a BOOKMARK
THIS IS THE WEB ADDRESS FOR THE File and Its PATH ON THE SD CARD

file:///Mount/mmc/1.jar

REMEMBER this is for TOCCO TOCCO TOCCO

I Can't find the Media Folder?

Go to the JAR FILE on the phone (were ever YOU put it)
select MOVE
then when it asks WHERE
select the ROOT of the Phone  (USE THE PHONE, NOT THE PC)
select The Root Using The Phone


Phone and SD Card MENU EXAMPLE
===============================
Images
Videos
Sounds
Other files
1.JAR <------ data-blogger-escaped-here="here">

Can i use the "Other Files" Folder instead?
Yes...

BUT you MUST change the paths like this

file:///Media/Other%20files/1.jar  phone

 file:///Mount/mmc/Other%20files/1.jar  SD

Folder Spaces MUST BE FILLED using   %20   instead of a space

I am trying to install a game on my tocco and its over 500kb and the phone gives me an error message when i try to run the app or game?
 (this happens with the likes of "Angry Birds HD" and other games over 500KB)
 to by pass this you have to use the Admin menu codes, so first you install the game, then if you get an error running the game, find the Admin menu code that works for you, check firmware to narrow down attempts
and then  FOR EXAMPLE...
On your mobile phone click on the 'Dial' button, than dial '*#6984125*#' go to 'Internals' enter the following Master Key '*#9072641*#' Go to 'Storage Settings' and click on 'Update Java DB'.
so what ever your code you MUST get to the Update Java DB and run it
Now your game will run when you click on it to play it :D

There is a Good Video Guide showing How Its Done HERE


Ps....
if you found this Page using Google OR another search engine...  ROCK ON...
if you asked someone and they pointed you here....
THINK HARD BEFORE YOU PLACE A COMMENT


PPS
ALSO A MASSIVE WARNING.....  NEVER EVER use a SAMSUNG RESET CODE!!!
there used to be a default reset code &amp; anyone who found a code could just remove the sim... power on the phone.. type in a key... and it reset the phone removing ALL pins and security.. this was a really naughty code...

BUT  today what that code is a naughty nasty code
does the same thing with an ADDITIONAL thing...
It changes the IME to  OOOOOOOOO  so  DON'T use it ANY factory Reset Codes....
or the phone has no MAC and can NO longer be used

how do i no if i can use a factory reset code?
All i remember from back then is this........
The IME WIPE appeared about half way through the Samsung D900 model release life span
IF you have wiped one, you maybe able to "Restore The Boot File"
U can also use the term  "How To Unbrick or Un-Brick... and the phone model number"
when searching google

BRICK.. NOT BLOCK... Computers are as Thick As You Are
So Terminology is what you need to put in a Search Engine

You can also get one of these, goes in the cable/power socket to use Headphones
