    Dear CPians ,

     

    We take this opportunity to thank all the staff, members and visitors to our site and extend our warm wishes for Christmas and New Year to all. Last year we saw tremendous growth in our community and we credit this growth to all the administrative staff who worked hard and their sheer dedication and motivation that has made the CP community way ahead. We wouldn’t have achieved any success and helped our members without their unconditional support and patronage. Thank you once again for the achievement we had.

     

    We had a lot of challenges in our administrative jobs last year and with me being busy with personal chores but with your support, dedication and loyalty we have achieved success in all our endeavors.

     

    During this holiday season we wish all of you to a wonderful Christmas and a very prosperous 2015.

    We wish all of you a very wonderful and prosperous year ahead and may we all work together this way every year and bring more success to the community.

     

    Your contributions keep us going helping pay the steep costs of hosting and enabling us to keep up to our motto “Sharing is Caring”. Please have a look at the VIP status you wish to contribute for here and pm admin for the details:  http://www.cyberphoenix.org/forum/subscriptions/

     

    Have a merry Christmas and a blessed holiday.

     

    Warm Regards,

    3 Ways to Repair Windows 8


    If your Windows 8 computer isn't working properly, there are three new tools built into the Windows 8 operating system that you can use to attempt repairs.

    Windows 8: Restore, Refresh and Reset

    Windows 8 offers the same System Restore feature found in earlier Windows systems. Think of System Restore as the “Undo” button for Windows. If things have gotten fouled up due to a software glitch, malware, or your own fumble-fingered attempts to fix a problem, System Restore can return you to a known good state.

    It does this by rolling back all of the changes made to your Windows system, since a specific "restore point" in the past. It's important to note what System Restore will (and will not) do. System Restore only affects Windows settings, files that are part of the operating system, device drivers, the registry, and installed programs. Your personal files will not be lost. Documents, photos, spreadsheets, and other files stored in the My Documents folder, are off-limits to System Restore. System Restore won't bring back any deleted files, either.

    Windows 8 Repair Options

    To use System Restore, move your mouse to the upper-right corner of the screen, click Search, enter Control Panel in the search box, and then click Control Panel. Click on Recovery, then click "Open System Restore". On Windows 8.1 systems, you may see a message that System Restore is disabled. You can turn it back on by following the instructions to configure System Protection.

    Now That's Refreshing!

    I'm pretty sure System Restore has been around since Heisenberg discovered the Uncertainty Principle, or at least since Windows XP hit the streets in 2001. You can learn more about how it works in my related articles System Restore for Windows 7 (and Vista) and Time Travel With System Restore (for XP)

    One nice surprise in Windows 8 is the Refresh function, which restores your computer to a designated state of your choosing. The System Restore function in earlier versions does much the same, but System Restore Points may be lost if your machine runs out of space in which to store them. The Refresh function creates a permanent Restore point that mirrors your ideal system configuration. By default, it's the factory installation of Windows 8 and OEM software.

    But you can also get your system just the way you like it --remove crapware, install the apps you do want, make sure there's no malware, customize the settings, themes, wallpaper, etc. --then create the restore point for the Refresh feature. So if ever find that your computer is bogged down with unwanted software, toolbars, or malware, just click Refresh and you're back to good in about 8 minutes.

    All of your documents and other personal files will be preserved in a Refresh operation. It's perfect for those computers that seem to get fouled up often by kids who will click on anything that moves, or less tech-savvy users who may be tricked by those rogue "Scan your PC now" messages.

    To use the Refresh feature: move your mouse to the upper-right corner of the screen, click Settings, then click "Change PC Settings". Click Update and Recovery, then click Recovery. Click the "Get started" button under "Refresh your PC without affecting your files".

    Apps that came with your PC and apps you installed from the Windows Store will be reinstalled when you do a Refresh. But any Apps you installed from a website or CD/DVD will not. Any apps that are removed during a Refresh will be listed on your desktop.

    Hit the RESET Button

    A related new feature in Windows 8 is Reset, which will return your system to its "factory fresh" state. Unlike Refresh, a Reset will wipe out your files and any software you've installed. Reset is more drastic, but it's just the ticket if you want to wipe the proverbial slate clean, if things are really fouled up, or before selling or donating your computer. (You'll have to buy your own pine-scented dashboard hanger, though.)

    To use the Reset feature: move your mouse to the upper-right corner of the screen, click Settings, then click "Change PC Settings". Click Update and Recovery, then click Recovery. Click the "Get started" button under "Remove everything and reinstall Windows".

    If you have questions about the Recovery options in Windows 8, see Microsoft’s How to restore, refresh, or reset your PC page here:

    If you are working as a Social Media Manager and your job is to ensure that the business is spread across various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest etc. then I am sure that you are tired of switching between these platforms to post stuff and interact with users. Do not worry, technology has advanced and there are lots of tools out there to make your job easier.

    Most of these are paid apps and can ruin the budgets of small businesses or startups. Today we bring you three wonderful applications which you can use to manage the social media accounts of your business. Yes, these are all free to use. Check them out below.

    This is the best app to actually quantify the value of social media engagement of a business. True Social Metrics. True Social Metrics tells you what post is shared / liked more, which posts are going viral, which channels to put in more effort on etc. Start using True Social Metrics and see all the social media statistics of your business, impress your boss by showing them those numbers.

    31G1z0J.png

    Slingbot is an application to easily gain twitter followers and industry connections. This app favorites tweets based on keywords campaigns you enter. So how does this gain you followers / connections? By favoriting tweets, it gains the attention of people who matter and ultimately they start following you.

    The conversion rate is around 2 – 2.5% for the free version and is not bad at all. I gained about 60 followers in a month.

    Topsy – Social Search Analytics

    Topsy is a social search analytics application providing real-time search data across social media platforms. Topsy is a certified partner of twitter and lets you dig into data as old as 2006 to find appropriate trends.

    Do you use some other tool which is better than what I listed here?
    Or you know a better way of doing things?

    Today we will let you know about some very cool features hidden under Android Developer Options. Developer Options can be enabled in different ways depending on your device, Google it out to get specific instructions on enabling Developer Options on your device.
     

    0Teeg1h.jpg

    What can be done by enabling Developer Options on an Android Device?
    There are lots of things which can be done post enabling Developer Options on your android device. You can speed up your device by turning animations off, set quality rendering for better gameplay, fake GPS locations and more!

    Warning: You must understand and know what you are doing when you change settings after enabling Developer Options. Changing parameters to random numbers may cause device outage. If unsure, do not change anything.

    Let us now look at some cool things you can do after enabling Developer Options on your android device.

    Enable USB Debugging



    2y4xUGe.png

    Most of the android users require this enabled as this is required while plugging your device to a computer / laptop. Unless enabled, the computer / laptop cannot talk with your device.
    This option is also required while rooting your android device, installing a custom ROM, installing custom kernels etc.

    Fake GPS Location

    qWsaoWs.png

    Want to outsmart those private data hungry apps or simply want to play around with your friends by checking in at random locations around the world? Use the Allow Mock Locations options along with a Fake GPS Location app to hide your real location. This is fun, isn’t it?

    Set Desktop Backup Password

    MypIhn9.png

    Often take backups of your Android device but don’t know how to protect them from being accessed by others? Enable this option to set passwords to your backups. You’ll need to remember the password(s) to access the backup(s) later on, so keep them handy.

    Show CPU Usage on Screen

    ch42yqg.png

    See what programs are running and their loads along with the system load on top, Linux users will feel comfortable seeing these stats. This will always remain on the top of your screen if left enabled. Hence, you don’t need this enabled all the time. You only require this enabled when your phone slows down and you want to see what’s going on. Use this to drill down to the app causing slowness and then deal with it.

    Disable or Speed Up Animations

    6y8vn3h.png

    Whenever you switch between apps and screens on Android, we spend few seconds looking at the animations and waiting for them to go away. On a fast phone or tablet like Google’s Nexus 5 or Nexus 7, this can make switching between apps nearly instant. If you thought your Android phone was speedy before, just try disabling animations and you’ll be surprised how much faster it can be.

    There are a lot of other options out there in the Developer Options menu but they are meant for actual developers who play around with Android for development purposes. You must not fiddle with these unless you know what you are doing.

    If something goes wrong, just disable the Developer Options by turn the switch on top to the left. Post your questions and issues below via comments.

    Personal websites are an easy medium to showcase skills and connect with one’s clients on a personal level.

    SWYDO0O.jpg

     

    You may attract a lot of clients from freelancing websites around the world, but letting your clients know about your personal website which showcases you in a great way is much better. Most of the clients are bound to come back to you if the quality of work was good.

    If you have just started out on the internet and do not have a budget to buy domain and hosting for your personal website, I'd recommend that you follow the guide below. Today we will learn ‘How to Host Your Personal Website on Google’s Servers for Free’. Yes, you read it right – it’s for free.

    Note: You can only host a basic website (built on HTML & CSS), advanced websites using PHP, ASPX etc. are not supported.

    We will use Google App Engine’s ‘Static Files’ feature to host your static HTML-CSS website on Google’s App Engine server for free.

    A step by step guide on how to create your personal website with Google

    Step 1: Create a Personal Website

    If you are a coder and have the skills, go ahead and code a great website for yourself in HTML/CSS. If not, use Google to search from tons of free to use themes available for download. Download the one which suits your needs, make sure they are only using HTML/CSS platform. Edit the website to customize it per your needs, use text editor Notepad ++ for editing files. Save all the files in one location for future use.

    Step 2: Download Python and GAE (Google App Engine) SDK
     

    Download and install these with default settings unless you are an advanced user and know what you are doing.

    Step 3: Sign Up / Sign In for Google App Engine
    Visit appengine.google.com to Sign In / Sign Up to the Google App Engine site.

    Step 4: Create App
    You will be required to create an application to get started with hosting static files on Google’s Servers for Free. Click on ‘Create Application’ button to start creating the application. Give a unique name to the application which will also act as your sub-domain. For example: To create a website with link wjunction.appspot.com, you need to enter ‘wjunction’ as the application name. Once created, this cannot be changed so choose carefully. Give a title to your application which users can see when viewing your application and leave all other fields default. Click on ‘Create Application’ to complete app creation.

     

    Step 5: Develop the app using GAE Python SDK
     

    1. Open the Google App Engine Launcher app on your machine.
    2. Create new application by using Ctrl + N keyboard shortcut.
    3. You will see an app creation screen asking for app details like Application Name, Parent Directory, Port and Admin Port. Enter the application identified in the Application Name. Also, choose a directory to locally host your app on a temporary basis. Leave the port details default.
    4. Click on Create button.


    The app is now created but needs to be edited so it can be hosted on GAE Servers. To do this, choose your app in GAE Launcher and click Edit. Your application’s “app.yaml” file will now open in your default text editor application.

    Delete all the content of this file with the below code: 

    application: <your-app-name-here> 
version: 1 
runtime: python27 
api_version: 1 
threadsafe: yes 
handlers: 
– url: / 
static_files: www/index.html 
upload: www/index.html 
– url: / 
static_dir: www 
libraries: 
– name: webapp2 
version: "2.5.2"

    Save the file and close it to move on to the next step.

    Now to add personal website’s files to your local GAE application:
    Open the parent directory you selected while creating this local app and then browse to the app
    directory. You’ll see two files named favicon.ico and main.py – delete these files. Now create a directory (folder) and name it www and paste your website files inside it.

    If everything was done correctly, your app directory will have app.yaml and index.yaml files inside it along with a www folder containing your website’s files / directories / sub-directories.

    Step 6: Deploy / Upload Your Custom App to GAE Servers

    1. Choose your GAE App in the GAE Launcher.
    2. Click on Deploy.
    3. Enter the Google Account Details and press OK.
    4. You’ll see a Python progress window showing the progress of the upload.


    You can now check your personal website by entering the application name.appspot.com URL in your web browser.
