Enabling S2W (Sweep2Wake)

I think you guys may heard of S2W feature. That is a feature which allows you to unlock your phone with one swipe! Cool,huh? Now you can enable it on your phone! You must be rooted and custom kernel flashed. Also,your kernel must allow modifications. If you have navigation bar and no buttons,it will allow you to swipe trough screen. Button users need to swipe trough buttons. So,lets get started.
There must be a folder called sys.
In that folder find: android_touch
If it isn't there,you cant enable S2W.
So 0 (zero) is disabled.
1(one) enabled and 2(two) enabled with backlight if you are a button user.
And all you need to do is flash one of the files here to enable or disable the feature. You have to flash it in your recovery (CWM,TWRP,PhilZ) and reboot! After flashing,try the feature. If it doesn't work,check your settings for a toggle which enables it. Don't forget to take a BACKUP!!!

Fresh and sleek: GMail!

So here it is. New redesigned... Gmail!
Over a billion downloads (number is still rising). Google Play Store released update few days ago. App weights only 5,12Mb and it is really easy to use and handle. If you are a KitKat (4.4+) user,you can get even more features! Nice you say,huh? It doesn't request automatic sync anymore. You can start without it. But you will also miss notifications. On KitKat,you will get few more features like animations and transitions. Icon is still the same. Nice and minimal. It doesn't matter are you running a custom ROM,features will be the same. So,don't worry! App has got minimal RAM consuption. Low-end devices are running it really smooth.
User Interface is little redesigned for better reading e-mails. It looks sleek and easy to use. Way to go,Google!

Goodbye Cellphone, Hello Moto E!

After the success of Moto G and Moto X,  Motorola is all set to launch its new device, named the Moto E. With the tag line "Priced for all", the device is set to be priced as low as 100 dollars. But that doesn't mean Motorola is compromising on features. With many features similar to the Moto G, E sports a 5 Mega Pixel camera and a 1900 mAh battery. The device has 4 GB internal memory and also has an external SD Card slot, unlike G and X. It also has a 1.2 GHz dual core processor and 1 GB RAM. And guess what, It will be shipped with Kitkat 4.4.2 out of the box. With a 4.3 inch screen, the dual sim variant of the phone will be available in India. The device is expected to launch on the 13th of May. At the given price, this phone is a steal. It out-classes almost every other phone in this price range.
