More Galaxy S IV Rumors: 13 Megapixel Camera, Quad-Core A15 Processor

More Galaxy S IV Rumors: 13 Megapixel Camera, Quad-Core A15 Processor

 

The Galaxy S IV rumor mill has really began churning in earnest in the last couple weeks, as more and more rumors of dubious provenance show up in every nook and cranny of the internet. We heard last week that Samsung is working on a super fancy new display - a 5-inch, 1080p AMOLED panel with an impressive 441 ppi – and that it might be destined for inclusion in the Galaxy S III’s successor.

Today, more rumors have emerged regarding the follow-up to Samsung most successful Android flagship. GSM Arena is reporting that a 13 megapixel camera will grace the Galaxy S IV, and possibly an Exynos 5450 processor too. The Exynos in question would be a quad-core, 2GHz A15 processor, and would surely blow everything on the current mobile market out of the water.

Apparently, the 13 megapixel camera was supposed to be included on the Galaxy Note II originally, but supply issues prevented that, and the Note II got the same 8 megapixel sensor as the Galaxy S III has. The plan at this point is to sort those supply-side issues out in time for the release of the S IV, so that it can have that aforementioned 13 megapixel unit.

At this point, many of the Galaxy S IV rumors going around are a mix of vague supply chain hints and pure conjecture, so take them with a grain of salt. If these specs do end up being accurate, though, the S IV is going to be a beast of a phone. One does have to wonder how Samsung will manage to make the battery life acceptable on a phone with that beefy of a processor, and that big of a screen. They’ve been pretty good in the past about releasing phones with adequate battery life, so we’ll assume they’ve got a trick up their sleeve.

We’re expecting the Galaxy S IV to make its first official appearance sometime in the first half of next year.

 

How To: Backup And Transfer Your OpenFeint Saved Games, Or Any Other Game Data On iOS

How To: Backup And Transfer Your OpenFeint Saved Games, Or Any Other Game Data On iOS

 

As you may have heard, OpenFeint–the original free social gaming platform for the iPhone–will beshutting the doors to their service on December 14th. Games that rely on OpenFeint have been advised to switch to GREE (?), a service run by the company that bought OpenFeint, but that doesn’t help us if our favorite old games aren’t getting updates. If you don’t want to lose your legacy game data, here’s a guide to backing up your saves between devices.

While this guide is made for OpenFeint games in mind, you can use it to safely back up and transferdata from any app, including apps that don’t support cloud save game transfers in the first place.

Connecting a FTP to the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to Transfer Files

What you will need:

• A jailbroken iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch
• A computer with an FTP client, such as WinSCP or FileZilla
• OpenSSH

1. If you don’t already have OpenSSH installed on your iPhone or iPad, install it from Cydia now. If you have SBSettings installed on your device, make sure the SSH toggle is enabled. You will also need a FTP Client like WinSCP for your computer.

2. Ensure that you are on the same WiFi network as your device. Enter the following information into WinSCP, and then press login.

Host name: (Your device’s WiFi IP address. You can find the address in the SBSettings window.)
Username: Root
Password: (“Alpine” by default. If you don’t change the default password, make sure to turn the SSH toggle off when you’re done.)

This directory was never intended to be read by people and as such isn’t very helpful.

Normally, all the apps you’ve downloaded are stored in one place: “/private/var/mobile/Applications/“. Getting there isn’t difficult, but finding anything in this directory manually is a pain, especially if you have a lot of apps. The HEX names for the files in this directory appear to be in gibberish, and they are different from machine to machine. You could poke through them one at a time, while taking notes, but that would take forever.

The AppLinks Cydia utility.

Lucky for us, there’s a trick to finding which files contain the apps we want. The trick is calledAppLinks–a free Cydia utility that will create a human-readable alternate shortcut directory for your apps. Just install AppLinks, run it from Springboard, press the refresh button, and you’ll have an app directory that isn’t filled with gibberish.

Using a file transfer program like WinSCP or FileZilla, navigate to “/private/var/mobile/AppLinks“, which should be far easier for you to read than ~/mobile/Applications.

With AppLinks installed, you have a far easier time browsing through the application folders.

Next find whichever app it is you want to snag save data from. You don’t have to copy the entire app folder–unless you really want to needlessly transfer hundreds of megabytes back and forth. Instead just select the Documents and the Library folders, then drag and drop the files to your computer’s desktop.

From here you can store the save game folders to a new file as a backup or transfer the saves to a different device–which can also be done with AppLinks and WinSCP. Just make sure that the gameis not in the app switcher while you’re replacing files, as otherwise the transfer may not work.

Sure, you won’t have online leaderboards unless the developers eventually update the game, but you won’t lose your progress either if you follow the tweak.

How To Jailbreak iOS 6.0.1 And iOS 6.0 Using Sn0wbreeze

How To Jailbreak iOS 6.0.1 And iOS 6.0 Using Sn0wbreeze

Few days back iH8sn0w released Sn0wbreeze 2.9.7 for Windows to jailbreak (tethered) iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4g.

So if you’re a Windows user and having trouble jailbreaking your iOS device on iOS 6.0.1 or iOS 6.0 using Redns0w 0.9.15 beta, then check out the step-by-step instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4 using Sn0wbreeze.

Here are some important points to note before you proceed.

• This guide is meant for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4 users.
• Sn0breeze 2.9.7 only supports a tethered jailbreak, which means that you need to connect your iPhone to the computer on every reboot (except iPhone 3GS with older bootrom). It is currently not possible to jailbreak iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPod Touch 5G.
• Please note that jailbreaking your iOS device may void your warranty and hence proceed with caution and at your own risk.
• Since you need to restore your iOS device with the custom firmware created by Sn0wbreeze, it is extremely important that you take a backup your iOS device before you proceed. You can refer to this post for instructions on how to backup your iOS device using iCloud or this one to backup your iOS device using iTunes.
• Please ensure you are running latest version of iTunes i.e. iTunes 10.7 or later.

Step 1: Download Sn0wbreeze 2.9.7 from this link and save the application in a folder named “Sn0wbreeze” on your desktop.

• iPod touch

Step 3: Double click the Sn0wbreeze zip file and extract the application. Navigate to the Sn0wbreeze folder and launch the Sn0wbreeze application.

Windows 7 users should run the exe in Windows XP compatibility mode (right-click on the Sn0wbreeze exe and select Properties, then select the Compatibility tab and select Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP). Windows XP and Windows 7 users should run Sn0wbreeze as ‘Administrator’ (right-click on the Sn0wbreeze exe and select ‘Run as an Administrator’).

Step 4: Click on the blue arrow button.

Step 5: Then click on Browse for an IPSW button. Navigate and select the firmware file download in Step 2 and then click on the Open button.

Step 10: Launch iTunes, it will inform you that your iOS device is in recovery mode. Click on theOK button.

Step 11: Select your iOS device from the left hand side bar under DEVICES. Then hold the Shift key on the keyboard and click on the Restore button under Summary tab.

Step 12: Navigate and select the IPSW file prefixed with “_sn0wbreeze” that was created in Step 7. iTunes will inform you that it will erase and restore your iOS device to iOS 6.0.1 and will verify the restore with Apple. Click on the Restore button if you’ve taken a backup of your iOS device.

Step 13: The restore process could take approximately 10-15 minutes. You should see the Sn0wbreeze icon on your iPod touch during the restore process indicating that the custom firmware is restoring.

Step 14: After it has restored successfully, you need to use iBooty to perform a tethered boot.

Step 15: Launch iBooty from the iBooty folder in the Snowbreeze folder. Click on the Select your iDevice dropdown and select your iOS device.

Step 16: You will now be prompted to put your iOS device in DFU mode. Turn off your device and click on the Start button to put your iOS device in DFU mode by following the on-screen instructions:
