Gmail for Android Updated to V2.3.5.2

Some new features added in Gmail for Android.

Did Google realise that they need to save some battery in Android mobiles??
Well the new gmail can sync only the priority mails and not everything which comes to your inbox. This will save battery drain and give you the emails which you want and not all tom dick and happy mails.

Postman - Superb App to Detect SPAM Messages

I've been using this app for a while now. It works great no matter what. It integrates with the stock sms app and seperates all the messages which you get on your mobile from unknown numbers/Spam numbers/Advertisements etc.

How does it work?? :O Its simple, the app just doesn't allow the messages which your mobile receives from the contacts/numbers which aren't stored in the mobile contacts. There messages are taken away by Postman and you get a notification when a new Spam mesaage arrives.

What if the mesaage is not spam? Simple again. Just go to poatman and long press on the message and press not spam after which whenever a message is received from that number, it directly is seen in your inbox.
I love this app. Saves a lotta time to see and delete stupid messages. I say its a much have app for the Indian mobile users. They receive the most amount of Spam.

Root Your Samsung Galaxy S2 - SGS2

Simple steps, Simple to do:

First of all you need to download Odin V1.85 which is the Desktop odin version for rooting your mobile.
Get Odin v1.85 from here: http://www.multiupload.com/1RTGSE061G
Just extract Odin folder and keep the odin3.ini file in it.

Rooting Samsung Galaxy S2:
Make sure you do it the easier way by using the CF-ROOT kernel.
Check your mobiles kernel in Settings>About>Kernel : There should be something like KJ3 or other code in it for which you have to download the CF root file to root your mobile from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399




After downloading the respective file, unzip it and you get a .tar file. DO NOT UNZIP the .tar file.


Steps to install CF-ROOT kernel (Root your mobile):
1.Download the kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
2.Power off phone, and enter in DOWNLOAD MODE ( Press and Hold the Vol down + Menu/Centre +  Power On keys together, it goes to the download mode and then press the Vol Up key to continue)
3.Connect your mobile to the desktop.
4. Open Odin on desktop and click PDA and select the downloaded .tar CF-Root file on PDA. DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING ELSE or it might just brick your mobile.
5.Only Auto reboot and F.Reset Time which are checked from before will be marked. I REPEAT, DO NOT CLICK ON PARTITION or anything else.
6.Click Start.
7.Let the phone reboot.

After the reboot your mobile will have CWM (ClockworkMod) installed which means your phone is rooted. 

Congratulations :-)
Now you are free to install any custom OS you want your beauty/SGS2 to have :)
