Get back the First day performance in your Android Smart Phone/ Tablet

Most of the Android users are facing a common issue, that is

 "My Smartphone OS is not smooth anymore, I can't experience that first day smooth performance anymore!" 

I hear that a lot and even experienced the same issue till recently in my Samsung Tab, but not anymore.

Many unwanted rogue apps runs in background thus wasting the RAM memory and system resources, this is the reason behind the degrading performance. Recently, i came across an app called Greenify, It renews your Android smartphone / Tablet by identifying all those rogue apps and forces them to go hibernation thus saving RAM memory and Battery. After installing this app, we can choose which apps can be hibernated but we have to cautious in choosing those apps as some apps must run in background for our convenience like Alarm, Messaging apps etc.

Compared to other popular tools aimed for the similar purpose, Greenify offers the following advantages:
◆ Unlike the "Freeze" feature in "TitaniumBackup Pro" that totally disable the app, you can still use your app as usual, share content with it. No need to freeze & defrozen it.
◆ Unlike "App Quarantine", you can launch greenified apps in any way as usual. No more crafted app-launch widgets, no more manual disabling.
◆ Unlike "Autostarts", you can benefit from almost all of its advantages, without needing to deal with the complexity and risk of obscure app components, and never lose functionality when app is actively running.
◆ Unlike any "XXX Task Killer", your device will never fall into the cat-mouse-game of stealthy-running and aggressive killing, which unnecessarily consumes more battery juice.

But, there is one problem........................................................................
          Greenify can be installed only on Rooted Android devices. So, What is Rooting?

 Lets Google it, there are many brilliant articles out there written by experienced bloggers. Try clicking this Google search result link. Get the Greenify app by clicking the play store link provided below.

Disconnect Search | Search Privately with your Favorite Search Engine

The US Prism surveillance scandal has proven to be good news for DuckDuckGo , which prides itself as a privacy-respecting alternative search engine. "Google tracks you. We don't," reads one of its advertisements.

Thus This anti-Google: DuckDuckGo search engine gets traffic boost after Snowden leaks. 

But still plenty of people can't leave their favorite Web search engine Google. For those Users I want to recommend you the Disconnect Search.

Disconnect Search built by Ex-Google And Ex-NSA Engineers lets you search privately using your favorite search engine. Disconnect Search is a web proxy that allows you to search privately using your favorite search engine. They don’t log searches, IP addresses, or any other personal information.

It is available for Google chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Host Your Static Website For Free In Google Drive | In less than 3 minutes

Many of us don't know that Google Drive is offering Free Web Hosting, Only for static websites though. But it is plenty for many web developers who frequently need to demo to their clients. However, it is not a comprehensive web solution to host a website.

It is useful for the "short lived" events like invitations, WED-sites(Wedding Sites), Student Websites, Portfolios and CV Websites for Graduates and prototype presentations of the projects on which you are working.

First, You need to have all of your Static Website Content (HTML pages, Javascript and CSS files) in a folder. 

 In case you don't have them, Download free HTML 5  Web templates from HTML5up.net .

In the Second Step, You need to create a folder in Google Drive and Go to the sharing settings of that folder.There, You will be prompted for Visibility Options, change the option to Public on the web from Private.

As You can see in the GIF below, I created a Folder named Nithesh is a Ninja  and shared it as Public on Web.

In the Third step, Upload static webpage content to the Public on the Web Shared Folder (in my case it is Nithesh is a Ninja Folder) 

     Now, open the home page of your website in the Google drive website generally home page named as index.html. Open your index.html page in Google drive Viewer and Once the page loaded, hit the Preview button from the toolbar. It will take you to the live webpage.

This is the static website I created Using the Miniport Html 5 template

WEBSITE 

The main disadvantage of this hosting method is the Ridiculously loooong URL. In my case, it is like this

https://googledrive.com/host/0B7_cjZtLYp9MVG04eUctV1czMUk/index.html

You can use URL-Shortners like goo.gl, bit.ly.
