Xiaomi Redmi Pro

Xiaomi Redmi Pro


Xiaomi launched the Redmi Pro smartphone in China on Wednesday. The new Redmi Pro is the first smartphone from Xiaomi company to sport a dual camera setup, and it comes bearing a premium design with three colour options.
The two camera lens modules were first seen on HTC smartphones, but have recently garnered 'premium' status since rumours of the iPhone 7 with a dual camera setup started doing the rounds. Not to be left behind, Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Pro, a month ahead of Apple's traditional launch event in the hopes to get some leverage from the buzz. The dual-SIM smartphone supports 4G, packs a 4050mAh battery, and weighs 174 grams. Apart from these, the Xiaomi Redmi Pro has many other big features that are worth talking about, and we highlight some of the best ones below:
1) Dual camera setup
As mentioned, Xiaomi is using this dual camera setup feature as a selling point of the Redmi Pro. It sports a 13-megapixel Sony IMX258 sensor with a 5-lens module, an f/2.0 aperture, PDAF autofocus and supports dynamic depth of field, coupled with a 5-megapixel Samsung sensor for the secondary depth-sensing camera. The dual-tone flash module sits between the two lenses. On the front, it bears a 5-megapixel camera with an 85-degree wide-angle lens and an f/2.0 aperture.

2) Mediatek Helio X25 Processor
Xiaomi claims that this deca-core processor makes the Redmi pro 'the most powerful Redmi ever'. The Xiaomi Redmi Pro is powered by the 2.5GHz deca-core MediaTek Helio X25 SoC, coupled with a Mali-T880 GPU, that's available on the 4GB RAM + 128GB storage variant, while the 3GB RAM + 64GB storage variant has the same processor clocked at 2.3GHz. It is worth noting that the 3GB RAM + 32GB storage variant is powered by a 2.1GHz deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 SoC.
3) Xiaomi Redmi Note price
Most of Xiaomi's success is attributed to its reasonable pricing coupled with great specs on its smartphone offerings. With Redmi Pro, Xiaomi keeps the tradition alive and make the three variants available at reasonable price points. The Helio X20 (3GB RAM + 32GB storage) is priced at CNY 1,499 (roughly Rs. 15,100), the Helio X25 (3GB + 64GB) variant is priced at CNY 1,699 (roughly Rs. 17,100), and the Helio X25 (4GB + 128GB) variant is priced at CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs. 20,200).

The Xiaomi Redmi Pro runs on Android Marshmallow-based the latest MIUI 8. The new OS, which wasunveiled last month, comes with a new interface design, new Calculator app, a Smart menu for editing test, and the new App lock feature that unlocks all apps at once.
5) Xiaomi Redmi Pro design
Even with its reasonable price offering, Xiaomi Redmi Pro comes with a unibody metal design. It comes with a 5.5-inch full HD (1080x1920 pixels) display with 2.5D curved glass protection.

How Thieves Unlock Passcodes on Stolen iPhones

How Thieves Unlock Passcodes on Stolen iPhones (And How to Protect Yourself Against It)


1. Using Brute Force to Bypass the iPhone Lock Screen

Aside from the 10 common passcodes above, your chances can exponentially increase if you know the owner of the iPhone well.
Many people use 4-digit pins that they're familiar with: birthdays, anniversaries, addresses, the last 4 of their social security numbers, and even the last 4 digits of their own phone number. iPhone users unlock their cell phones dozens of times a day, making a simple and memorable passcode beneficial.
Add to that oily finger smudges on the screen and there's a pretty good chance you'll get passed the lock screen security.
You have 6 tries to access the phone before you'll see the "disabled" warning, and then a few more before the phone is completely disable, so that gives plenty of chances for a good brute-forcer to gain access.

2. Using Siri to Bypass the iPhone Lock Screen

You can use Siri to bypass any code on the iPhone 4S, 5, 5C, or 5S (if Touch ID is disable), but only to a certain extent, and only if the user has allowed Siri access when the phone is locked.
If so, you can just press down on the Home button and ask Siri to make a phone call, send a text, and look through notes. Simple stuff. You can't use Siri for things like looking through email, contacts, or the internet.

3. Completely Resetting the iPhone with iTunes

Resetting your iPhone can bypass the passcode, but will delete everything on the phone. This can come in handy if you forget your passcode and have everything backed up on your iTunes. So, if you get a message like this when connecting the device to iTunes...
You'll need to restore your iPhone back to factory settings:
  1. Turn off your iPhone.
  2. Press and hold the Home button, and while holding the Home button in, hurry up and connect your iPhone to your computer using the USB cord.
  3. Continuing holding the Home button until the "Connect to iTunes" screen pops up.
  4. iTunes will give you the recovery mode alert.
  5. Click "OK" and restore the device.
This will take off the passcode, but will delete everything on the phone. Make sure to back up your iPhone at least once beforehand, or it will wipe to factory settings.

4. Tricking iCloud with a Fake Server

An anonymous hacker by the name of AquaXetine found an exploit in Apple's iCloud system that lets anyone unlock a lost or stolen iPhone running iOS 7 or above, and Apple has yet to fix it.
This hack, available at the doulCi website (iCloud (almost) spelled backwards), appears to change your DNS for the connection to iCloud so their server can intercept the Activation Lock request, and then responds with the proper message to unlock the device.
So far, the hackers claim that over 15,000 devices have been unlocked using this technique.

5. Using Passcode-Hacking Apps

You can unlock an older iPhone using redsn0w, which also jailbreaks the device without deleting anything. This article has a video that shows how to install redsn0w on any iPhone still using iOS 5, while this one will show you how to do it on iOS 6 devices. It bypasses the code and doesn't delete any of the information stored on the iPhone. This could potentially also work with the evasi0n jailbreak for iOS 7 devices, as well.
You can also use a program called Gecko iPhone Kit (for iOS 5), which can be downloaded here, but most devices are using at least iOS 6 by now. This will actually give you the code and doesn't jailbreak or delete anything from the iPhone. Below is a video tutorial of this process.

Four Easy Ways to Hack Facebook..!!

Four Ways to Hack Facebook..!!

1. Reset the Password

The easiest way to "hack" into someone's Facebook is through resetting the password. This could be easier done by people who are friends with the person they're trying to hack.
  • The first step would be to get your friend's Facebook email login. If you don't already know it, try looking on their Facebook page in the Contact Info section.
  • Next, click on Forgotten your password? and type in the victim's email. Their account should come up. Click This is my account.
  • It will ask if you would like to reset the password via the victim's emails. This doesn't help, so press No longer have access to these?
  • It will now ask How can we reach you? Type in an email that you have that also isn't linked to any other Facebook account.
  • It will now ask you a question. If you're close friends with the victim, that's great. If you don't know too much about them, make an educated guess. If you figure it out, you can change the password. Now you have to wait 24 hours to login to their account.
  • If you don't figure out the question, you can click on Recover your account with help from friends. This allows you to choose between three and five friends.
  • It will send them passwords, which you may ask them for, and then type into the next page. You can either create three to five fake Facebook accounts and add your friend (especially if they just add anyone), or you can choose three to five close friends of yours that would be willing to give you the password.

2. Use a Keylogger

Software Keylogger
A software keylogger is a program that can record each stroke on the keyboard that the user makes, most often without their knowledge. The software has to be downloaded manually on the victim's computer. It will automatically start capturing keystrokes as soon as the computer is turned on and remain undetected in the background. The software can be programmed to send you a summary of all the keystrokes via email.
CNET has Free Keylogger, which as the title suggests, is free. If this isn't what you're looking for, you can search for other free keyloggers or pay for one.
Hardware Keylogger
These work the same way as the software keylogger, except that a USB drive with the software needs to be connected to the victim's computer. The USB drive will save a summary of the keystrokes, so it's as simple as plugging it to your own computer and extracting the data. You can look through Keelog for prices, but it's bit higher than buying the software since you have the buy the USB drive with the program already on it.

3. Phishing

This option is much more difficult than the rest, but it is also the most common method to hack someone's account. The most popular type of phishing involves creating a fake login page. The page can be sent via email to your victim and will look exactly like the Facebook login page. If the victim logs in, the information will be sent to you instead of to Facebook. This process is difficult because you will need to create a web hosting account and a fake login page.
The easiest way to do this would be to follow our guide on how to clone a websiteto make an exact copy of the facebook login page. Then you'll just need to tweak the submit form to copy / store / email the login details a victim enters. If you need help with the exact steps, there are detailed instructions available by Alex Long here on Null Byte. Users are very careful now with logging into Facebook through other links, though, and email phishing filters are getting better every day, so that only adds to this already difficult process. But, it's still possible, especially if you clone the entire Facebook website.

4. Stealing Cookies

Cookies allow a website to store information on a user's hard drive and later retrieve it. These cookies contain important information used to track a session that a hacker can sniff out and steal if they are on the same Wi-Fi network as the victim. They don't actually get the login passwords, but they can still access the victim's account by cloning the cookies, tricking Facebook into thinking the hacker's browser is already authenticated.

A Couple More Facebook Hacks

For those with a bit more technical skill, check out the Same Origin Policy Facebook hack and the somewhat easier, Facebook Password Extractor. We will continue add more Facebook hacks in the near future, so keep coming back here.

Launch Apps & Shortcuts with Shake Gestures

Launch Apps & Shortcuts with Shake Gestures

Firstly Install GravityGestures

The app that makes this all possible is called GravityGestures, so install it from the Play Store to begin.

Then, Run Through Initial Setup

When you first launch GravityGestures, you'll be greeted by a guided tour. Go ahead and swipe through this tour, but make sure to take note of each animation. The gestures are all based on moving your phone on the X, Y, or Z axis, and these little demos give you a good idea of which one is which.
Once you've made it to the app's main menu, enable the main service with the toggle switch at the top of the screen. From here, head to the app's settings menu and take note of the "Sensibility" option—if you find the gestures to be too hard or too easy to trigger, you can use this option to adjust that.

Then, Assign Actions to Each Gesture

Now you'll need to assign an action to each of the shake gestures. So tap the floating action button in the bottom-right corner of the app's main menu, then select either the X, Y, Z, or "Shake" gesture.
From here, you'll see a menu that lets you choose an app, shortcut, or website to launch with this gesture, and you can also toggle common system functions like Wi-Fi or the flashlight. So choose an action, then repeat this same process for the three remaining gestures.

Now, Enjoy your gestures

Once you're done there, you're ready to try out your new gestures. Any time your screen is on, just give your phone two quick shakes on the X, Y, or Z axis, or shake it randomly in any direction to launch the shake gesture, and your app or shortcut will be triggered instantly.
You can also perform these gestures with your screen off, but to do that, you'll need to briefly cover your phone's proximity sensor beforehand to wake the GravityGestures service.

Set Dynamic wallpaper on your Android..!!

Set Dynamic wallpaper on your Android..!!


Step 1 Download Some Background Images
You'll need your own wallpapers to start out with, as this app only changes your background for you

Step 2 Install Smart Wallpaper
To get contextually-aware home screen backgrounds, the first thing you'll need to do is install the app, which is called Smart Wallpaper.
After launching Smart Wallpaper for the first time, you'll get a quick feature tour. Go ahead and read through this, then move onto the next step.

Step 3 Select a Condition for Your Automatic Wallpapers
When you make it to the main menu, you'll see a list of all the conditions that Smart Wallpaper can use to automatically change your background image. To start, tap the "Select" button next to one of the entries, then tap the entry itself to do a bit of customization.
From here, if you're running Android Marshmallow or higher, you'll have to give Smart Wallpaper permission to access your photos. So tap the yellow bar near the top of the screen, then press "Allow" on the subsequent popup.

Step 4 Set Different Wallpapers for Each Sub-Condition
From here, you'll see a list of the sub-conditions that you can assign a unique wallpaper to. So tap one of these, then tap the frowny face on the next popup. From here, simply select an image for this particular sub-condition, then repeat this process for any of the remaining sub-conditions.
  
Step 5 Add WiFi Networks (WiFi Condition Only)
If you chose Wi-Fi as the condition for your smart wallpaper, things will be a little bit different, since you'll have to add the networks you connect to.
So tap the + button on the right side of your screen, then select a Wi-Fi network from the list. After that, you'll be prompted to associate a wallpaper with this Wi-Fi network, so pick one using the file browser menu. When you're done there, you can add automatic wallpapers for other networks using this same process.

Activate Smart Wallpaper
At this point, the only thing left to do is to set Smart Wallpaper as your home screen background. So after choosing images for each sub-condition, press your device's back button once. From here, tap the "Activate" button near the top of the screen, then press "Set wallpaper" on the following menu.
At this point, you're all set to go. From now on, your wallpaper will change automatically when your condition changes. With some conditions, it may take a few seconds for the new wallpaper to apply after something changes, but you'll probably never notice this, as it happens silently in the background.

Jailbreak iOS 9.2-9.3.3 on Your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch

Step 1

xiaomi User click here..!!

Step 1

Prepare Your Phone & PC

First up, you'll need to disable Find My iPhone to prevent conflicts. So head to theiCloud menu in Settings, scroll down toward the bottom and select "Find My iPhone," then turn the feature off. Once you've done that, connect your iOS device to your PC, and if this is your first time doing so, you'll have to tap "Allow" to grant access on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
From here, open iTunes on your computer, and you may be asked to allow access from this side as well, so click "Continue" when prompted.

Step 2

Download PPJailbreak

Next up, head to the iOS 9.2-9.3.3 PPJailbreak tool from your PC, then click the red stripe near the center of the screen. The text will be in Chinese, but don't worry, I'll walk you through it. After that, you'll be taken to the download page. Scroll down a bit, then stop when you see a blue circle with a screenshot below it. From here, just click the link between these two items to download the tool.

Step 3

Install the PPJailbreak Helper on Your PC

Once that's finished, open your Downloads folder, then double-click thepphelper_5.0.3_Setup.exe file to run the utility. Next up, just click the lone button toward the bottom of the popup.
Then, do the same one more time.
Depending on your setup, you might see a Windows Firewall warning at this time. If you do, tick the boxes next to "Private networks" and "Public networks," then click "Allow access."

Step 4

Install the PPJailbreak App on Your Device

At this point, the utility will be installed on your computer, but there are some files it still needs to download. So click the lone button towards the bottom of the popup that appears on first-run. Shortly after that, you'll probably see a CAPTCHA—it's in English, so just type the letters you see, then click the button at the bottom. It may take as long as 15 minutes to download the necessary files, so be patient here.
Once the files have finished downloading, you'll see another similar message. Again, just click the button towards the bottom of this interface.
After that, you'll see a menu with two iPhone screenshots. Click the lone button at the bottom here as well.
Once you do that, a "Device Management" screen will appear on your iOS device. Select the email address shown below, then tap the "Trust" button on the following screen, and verify your choice on the popup. This is installing the PPJailbreak app on your iOS device.
Back on your PC, you'll see another similar screen, so click the button at the bottom again.
At this point, you'll be taken to the jailbreak utility's main menu. This is strictly for diagnostics, and it's not in English, so you can disregard this screen. From this point on, the rest of the work will be done on your iOS device.

Step 5

Jailbreak Your Device

Back on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, you'll now find an app labeled "PP" on your home screen. Go ahead and open this, then press "OK" when prompted to allow notifications. From here, tap the circular button in the center of your screen to jailbreak the device.
At this point, the circular button in the app will go away, and some Chinese text will appear in its place. When this happens, lock your device using the power button. The actual jailbreak process will start as soon as you do that, and you can check your lock screen to see the progress. But when everything's done, your device will automatically reboot, and you'll be jailbroken.

Step 6

Enjoy Jailbreak

When you get back up, you'll find the Cydia app sitting right on your home screen, which you can then use to apply many different jailbreak tweaks. However, this is an "Untethered" method, which means that jailbreak will be lost if you reboot your iOS device. If that happens, simply open the "PP" app again, then tap the circle and lock your device. It will enable jailbreak again using the same process shown in Step 5, so there's not much to lose.
Keep in mind that this is an early release, so some bugs should be expected. And, of course, a jailbroken device is less secure, so that's something to be aware of. Nonetheless, the process is really simple, and the untethered aspect can serve as an easy way to disable jailbreak when you want to.
