PhonesHow To Change/disguise And Android App Icon Or Name Using Nova Launcher by finnestdope(op): 10:06pm On Aug 14, 2018
Looking for how to change android app icon and name? Android is the most used mobile OS; this is because is an open source OS that let you perform a lot of tweaks on a smartphone running on the system. Today, I’ll be sharing an idea of how you can change or disguise your app icons and names on the app drawer window. I’ll be using the Nova Launcher app for this tutorial although there are other launchers and apps that let you do this too.

Nova Launcher
This is a fully customizable Android smartphone launcher with lots of features you’d love to explore. You can get on Google Playstore for free. Nova launcher provides you with a lot of options to gain full control of your smartphone and customize it to your taste. It is one of my best mobile apps of all time.

Things you can do with Nova Launcher for Android
1. Switch icon themes
2. Customize your subgrid positionings
3. Control your app icons colors
4. Customize your app drawer
5. Infinite scroll
6. Desktop lock – this means no can easily uninstall your apps
7. Change your app icons and names

how to change android app icon and name using Nova Launcher for Android

Install the application from Google Playstore. I do not recommend other apk hosting websites because there are lots of insecure ones out there.

Once the app is installed on your Android device, launch it and set it as your default launcher. Then, follow the guide below;

Step One:
open your app drawer, press and hold the app you wish to change its name.

Note: If you activated “Desktop lock” when setting up this launcher, you’ll be required to long press the padlock that appeared on your screen to allow changes.

Step two:
Press, hold and drag the app to the “edit” option

Step three:
Input the name you wish to use and click on the (√) icon.

Your edit will be saved and that’s all. The app will bear that name as long as it is still present on your device.

How to change your Android app icons with Nova Launcher
Follow the same steps from above, but this time, you’ll have to click on the icon and then choose an image/picture from your device to replace the original app icon.

The last thing i would do my android device is to root it.

I mean, why root my device when i can still get everything i want

Android is an open source OS

I didn't read the thread shaa, i'm a very good lazy reader and seeing that rooting at the first paragraph, i quickly scrolled down to see if i'd be the FTC grin grin

In my honest opinion, ROOTING IS NOT GOOD, if you're trying to install a legit app on your Android device and it's kinda not looking possible, contact me, i'll help you out. DON'T ROOT YOUR DEVICE

Phones5 Tips To Protect Your Privacy By Protecting Your Smartphone by finnestdope(op): 9:26am On Jul 27, 2018
Almost everyone in today’s world is using a smartphone, even though it varies in size, color, technical specifications, brands, etc. People are buying a unit because of its usability and multi-tasking abilities. It is advisable you protect your privacy by protecting your smartphone.

Entertainment, helpful tools, and browsing services are only a few of the features a smartphone has in store for you. Capturing moments is very easy with smartphones because they pack stunning camera qualities. When you come across tussles, puzzles or tough questions, you can simply Google the answer with your smartphone.

Also, you gain access to use social media apps like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to communicate and reach out to more friends. Talk to your friends and families online using Skype, Yahoo! Messenger or Google Talk.

When you own a smartphone, you’ll likely never be bored as there are tons of interesting games to get engaged with. All these functions or activities we have listed here are what you can do by just tapping your smartphone’s screen with your fingertips.

Smartphones are surely one of the coolest gadgets ever invented but, they can also be your worst enemy because it can compromise your privacy. Take note of these 5 tips on how to protect the privacy on your smartphone (or tablets)

Tips to Protect Your Privacy by Protecting Your Smartphone

Take Caution When You Go On Wi-fi Connections
You take the risk of compromising your phone’s security when you use Public Wi-Fi networks. So before connecting your smartphone to any Wi-Fi connection, remember to turn off the sharing features on your phone.

Bluetooth can also put your phone’s privacy in danger. This wireless method allows you to exchanges files or shares internet connections with other users. When this feature is turned on, other people can look through the contents of your phone. So turn this off.

Don’t Forget To Lock Your Phone
Putting a lock code on your phone is one of the most basic security measures out there but, on the off-chance that you haven’t done that yet; you can either use a PASSWORD code which needs alphanumeric characters or a pattern lock that lets you draw a personalized shape or figure on your phone.

To set up a lock pattern/password for your smartphone simply visit the security settings menu on your device settings. You can as well up a SIM card lock to restrict a third party user from accessing your contacts list and messages. This is very helpful in case you misplace your smartphone or maybe it was stolen from you; you get rest assured that your contacts, call log, and messages are safe and inaccessible.

Secure Your Password:
You should on no account give out your passwords to strangers. Sometimes, even when you’re being careful, you may have thoughtlessly entered your password into one of the online stores you browsed through.

There are quite a lot of phishing websites disguised as online shopping websites, online banking, social media, crypto sites, etc. that requires you fill out your information such as email address, passwords, and credit card details to access their services. Kindly stay out of these type of websites except they are trust-worthy like Amazon, eBay, and the likes.

Manage Your Privacy Settings:
The Geotagging feature on smartphones helps to detect and tag the location or address where the smartphone user is. Social media websites and apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Foursquare use this feature to display your location to your friends and followers on social media.

If you wish to remain private online then, you should deactivate or disable GPS service/settings on the apps on your smartphone.

Use Safe Sources to Download Apps:
There’s a wide range of free and inexpensive apps available for smartphones. This might seem like a fun advantage, but you have to be careful which applications you download. Find trustworthy sources and stick to downloading your apps from there; we have Google Playstore for Android users, iTunes Appstore for iOS/iPhone users, and BlackBerry World for Blackberry users.

Always beware of Phishing websites since apps they offer are designed to steal your information.

So there you have it: a couple of tips you can follow to ensure your phone—and privacy—is protected.

BusinessTop 10 Reasons To Outsource Your Company IT Support Need by finnestdope(op): 12:42am On Jul 26, 2018
Why hire an IT company or expert to handle your company IT support need? why not employ a professional personnel? In this article, you’ll learn the top reasons why you should outsource your company IT support need.

Reasons to outsource your company IT support need

1. Reduces Costs
Engaging the services of an I.T a company to handle your company’s I.T needs when needed is definitely cheaper than employing an I.T staff to work as a full-time employee in your company. This is because when you employ an I.T staff, you’ll have to buy all the equipment needed for a practical I.T department and also pay for the maintenance of these pieces of equipment from time to time. Also, you may need more hands in the I.T department of your company; which implies that you’d have to employ more I.T workers rather than just a staff.

Meanwhile, when you hire an I.T company to handle your company’s I.T support needs, you’d probably spend less and possibly get a more effective result because most I.T companies work with professionals/experts in the field.

2. Effective performance – You enjoy the latest technologies
Technology changes rapidly and an employed staff may not have the proper chance to advance in his/her knowledge on I.T. But a professional I.T company moves along with the constant changes in Techsphere. When you outsource your company’s I.T support need, you stand a great chance to enjoy the latest technologies in trend.

3. You concentrate more on other needs or departments of your company
[/b]If you are running a multi-departmental company, outsourcing your I.T support need is the best option for you. It will give you more time to focus on other important needs of your company and concentrate on your wide-range of employees.

[b]4. Constant reliable I.T support service

Your employed I.T staff is probably a human and may fall sick or break down at any time leaving the department void. What if an issue comes up your company’s I.T and requires urgent attention? You’d probably still go out and outsource for I.T support. This brings us back to our number one point in this article where I discussed the unnecessary cost of employing an I.T staff.

5. All round I.T support service
Outsourcing your company’s I.T support needs assures of a more effective result. Due to the limited knowledge of humans, your employed I.T. personnel may not be able to figure out what actually is the cause of your company’s I.T fault. But when you outsource for I.T support, you will possibly get a satiable all-round I.T. service.

6. You can hold on to the hired I.T company/personnel in cases of sudden breakdown or poor service.
External IT support providers are extremely careful in their work so as not to mar the company’s name and reputations. Also, if there be a case of sudden breakdown, you’d have someone to hold on to.

7. Risk management
Partnering with I.T geeks also help to reduce risks in your company I.T sector. The hired expert is responsible for any issue associated with your company I.T needs.

8. Pay according to demand
Rather than keeping an employed I.T staff and paying him/her huge sum of money monthly even when he/she actually does nothing, outsourcing for IT supports causes you to spend only when there is a need for that and you get to pay according to the volume of service required.

9. Saves you the stress of recruiting new staff
If you have a dedicated I.T department in your company – it means you’d have to recruit new I.T staffs from time to time; this is really stressful. So, getting your I.T services done by external bodies save you this stress and delivers more effective results.

10. Keeps your company up to date with the latest I.T technologies
When you outsource your company’s IT support need, it obviously gives you an edge over your competitors as you’d be enjoying many latest IT technologies lacked by your competitors.

Webmasters7 Essential Tips On Buying A Hosting Plan For Your First Website by finnestdope(op): 12:15pm On Jul 23, 2018
Dopitech Technologies Tips

Web hosting and a domain name is something very essential to create a self-hosted website. Though, you can make use of some free platforms like to save some money required for a web hosting account. However, both things are mandatory when it comes to the self-hosted blog. There are numerous providers out there claiming to offer quality as well as reliable services.In this post, we will talk about the most essential things you should consider before purchasing web hosting for your very first blog. Usually, a newly started blog doesn’t need features such as unlimited bandwidth, storage, and email accounts so you can ignore these options. Instead consider checking if they deliver reliable uptime, fast loading speeds, sophisticated customer support, and refund policy.Without further ado, let’s start!

Basic Tips on buying a hosting plan for your first website

1. Platform Infrastructure

First and the most important factor to look for is “web hosting infrastructure” that your provider is utilizing. You can research thoroughly and learn which technology they are using for data storage, data protection, backups, and uptime. Is there any robust DDoS security measures or active firewall? The account isolation measures and security protocols.Usually, trusted companies ensure server-level firewall, default DDoS attack monitoring, virus scanning, and malware removal at no extra cost. Besides that, multiple data centers and high-speed network connectivity also plays a vital role to deliver cutting-edge hosting services.

2. Technological Embracement

Technology is changing with every passing day, so your hosting provider should embrace the latest technologies on top priorities. For instance; SiteGround as an innovative and advanced host strives to deliver the fastest rendering backed by shared SSD hosting, custom LXC containers, and server level cache mechanism. The goal is choosing a company that ensures outstanding services and latest innovation implementation.Also read: The Basic Elements of a Modern Web Design

3. Web Storage and Data Transfer

Gone are the days when web hosting was expensive, nowadays, many hosts allow unlimited web space alongside unmetered monthly bandwidth at affordable prices. Though many host providers still provide limited storage, you can choose A2Hosting to avail unlimited bandwidth and storage on solid state drives. If you’re planning to run a media-rich website then selecting an account offering large space would be a wise decision. On the other hand, blogs and text-based websites can start with 5GB volume.

4. Free Domain Name

Who doesn’t like to get freebies? It’s human nature to get the best possible deal on the money they spent online or offline. That’s why hosting providers (almost all except few) give a free domain to new customers on the purchase of yearly based web hosting subscription. If you’re a novice webmaster and find it difficult to decide which companies are giving a free domain name, then, here are some few ones; Bluehost, InMotionHosting, GreenGeeks, and 1and1.

5. Customer Support and Refund

In this competitive business (hosting), customer support is the backbone to make or break any company’s reputation. Lacking an expert and experienced technical support as well as fewer supporting channels could be a red sign. So to address this issue, well-reputed companies do offer multiple assistance ways such as live chat, call, and email, etc.The thing is, you should double check if the provider you’re going to choose does have various contacting ways? If so, then confirm other features mentioned in the list and buy your first web hosting account. Money back guarantee helps to protect your investment if the company failed to deliver reliable services – you can ask for the refund.

6. CMS Compatibility

Businesses and enterprises can rely on custom-made web design but nowadays WordPress is one of the most used content management system empowering more than 30% of websites. An individual blogger or small business can’t afford the cost of custom built design so in that particular case, they can use WordPress – it’s a free and open source software.Of course, WordPress has some basic requirements such as PHP, MySQL, and Apache-based server. If you’re also planning to utilize the WordPress platform, double verify primary specs. Same goes for other platforms like Joomla, Magento, and Drupal, etc.

7. Renewal Prices

Last but not least, many companies offer insane discount prices to first-time buyers ranging from 50% off to 80% off which entice users to choose that host. Things start getting weird at the time of renewal when they demand a hefty amount to renew your account which usually costs 2x compared to the first invoice. So, it’s wise to check renewal costs before making any purchase. All you have to do is contact the host and ask related queries.So, there were some basic and essential factors every blogger, webmaster, and entrepreneurs should consider before purchasing a web hosting account for their first blog. We hope by taking following points into account, you’ll be able to select not only reliable but also peace of mind web hosting with less hassle.
