Google Has Offically announced to increase the file size limit of apk files to increase from 50 mb to 100mb . It means that developers can publish apk's upto 100mb . Users can download the app normally and will not see warning for files upto 100mb size .

Back in 2012 , Google added a workaround for developer that still required them to keep their app's apk below 50 MB , but allowed them to include two "expansion files" ( known as obb files ) that can be as large as 2GB . Codes remain in apk while obb files contains resources like maps , 3d models , audio and everything that could not fit in the core app.


But the problem arises when the apk is slightly over sized , say 60 mb . Then it becomes a problem for the developers and developers have to compromize some app fetures in order to get it under the 50 mb mark.

Google have quoted some lines in it's blog

" Even though you can make your app bigger, it doesn’t always mean you should. "

• Mobile data connectivity: Users around the world have varying mobile data connectivity speeds. Particularly in developing countries, many people are coming online with connections slower than those of users in countries like the U.S. and Japan. Users on a slow connection are less likely to install an app or game that is going to take a long time to download.
• Mobile data caps: Many mobile networks around the world give users a limited number of MB that they can download each month without incurring additional charges. Users are often wary of downloading large files for fear of exceeding their limits.
• App performance: Mobile devices have limited RAM and storage space. The larger your app or game, the slower it may run, particularly on older devices.
• Install time: People want to start using your app or game as quickly as possible after tapping the install button. Longer wait times increase the risk they’ll give up.

(Tutorials)How to Fix The Slow Data Transfer Issue and Speed up Your USB Flash Drive

Today, USB flash drives (or pen drives) have become ubiquitous as they're the most convenient way to quickly transfer large amounts of data thanks to their portability.Almost every device has got a USB or microUSB-on-the-Go port: tablets, laptops, TVs and so on, so you can easily plug USB drives into them. If your USB pen drive has a very slow read and write speed and you would like to speed it up slightly,here are a few tips to increase the data transfer speed of your pen drive.

First you should know that USB pen drives use flash memory which by its nature tends to slow down over time as you use it more. So if your flash drive is very old and has been used heavily, your best option is to get a new one with high speed memory.Second, USB 3.0 drives are much faster than USB 2.0 so you should definitely get at least one USB 3.0 drive to see the speed difference.That said, there is something you can do to your old USB 2.0 drive to make it perform faster.

Format your USB pen drive to NTFS

This will make copy operations a bit faster. Right click the drive in This PC/Computer folder and select "Format..." from the context menu of the drive. Select NTFS as file system and untick the "Quick Format" checkbox:


Set USB Drive optimized for better performance

1. Right click your USB drive once again in This PC/Computer folder and pick "Properties" from the menu.
2. In the Properties window, go to the "Hardware" tab:Click the "Properties" button:

3. The Device Properties window will be opened on the screen. On the "General" tab, click the "Change
settings" button:

4. Under the Policies tab, set the removal policy to the option Better Performance and click on the OK button.


Note: After you change the device policy to "Better Performance", you must always eject
your USB drive with the "Safely remove" option in the taskbar's notification/tray area. Otherwise, you can lose some files that you have copied to your drive. This is required because write caching is turned on when you set the drive to "Better Performance".The safe removal process makes sure that there are no pending writes to the drive before it is ejected.

After performing these simple steps, the data transfer speed of your USB pen drive should improve.

Lockscreen hack exposes Android smartphones to full control by hackers

A critical bug allows hackers to gain access to Android smartphones/tablets lockscreen with a simple hack. Security researchers from University of Texas, Austin have discovered a critical flaw in Android smartphones and tablets which lets hackers gain complete access to a Android smartphone by just inputting a special characters in the lockscreen window.
According to the researchers this Android smartphone hack affects all devices running versions of Android 5.x which means that a millions of Android smartphones in circulation worldwide are susceptible.
The hacking technique is very simple and can be exploited even by a noob. It is done by adding a large number of characters in the emergency call window and then copying it on the Android clipboard. After inserting the long string into the window, the hacker then swipes open the camera from the locked device and swipes down for more options menu and pastes the characters in the resulting password prompt.
Normally a Android smartphone owner would get an error message, but in this case, due to the vulnerability, the phone simply unlocks giving access to the hacker to do almost anything.

For the hack to work, the hacker should have the following :

• Attacker must have physical access to the device
• User must have a password set (pattern / pin configurations do not appear to be exploitable)

The process of attack :

1. From the locked screen, open the EMERGENCY CALL window.
2. Type a few characters, e.g. 10 asterisks. Double-tap the characters to highlight them and tap the copy button. Then tap once in the field and tap paste, doubling the characters in the field. Repeat this process of highlight all, copy, and paste until the field is so long that double-tapping no longer highlights the field. This usually occurs after 11 or so repetitions.
3. Go back to the lockscreen, then swipe left to open the camera. Swipe to pull the notification drawer down from the top of the screen, then tap the Settings (gear) icon in the top right. This will cause a password prompt to appear.
4. Long-tap in the password field and paste the characters into it. Continue to long-tap the cursor and paste the characters as many times as possible, until you notice the UI crash and the soft-buttons at the bottom of the screen disappear, expanding the camera to fullscreen. Getting the paste button can be finicky as the string grows. As a tip, always make sure the cursor is at the very end of the string (you can double-tap to highlight all then tap towards the end to quickly move the cursor there) and long-tap as close to the center of the cursor as possible. It may take longer than usual for the paste button to appear as you long-tap.
5. Wait for the camera app to crash and expose the home screen. The duration and result of this step can vary significantly but the camera should eventually crash and expose sensitive functionality. You should notice the camera lagging as it attempts to focus on new objects. Taking pictures via the hardware keys may speed up the process, though it is not strictly necessary. If the screen turns off due to inactivity, simply turn it back on and continue waiting. In some cases the camera app will crash directly to the full home screen as seen below, whereas other times it may crash to a partially rendered home screen as seen in this alternate proof-of-concept video.
6. Navigate to the Settings application by any means possible, e.g. by tapping the app drawer button in the bottom center and finding it in the app list. At this point it is possible to enable USB debugging normally (About phone > tap Build number 7 times, back, Developer options > USB debugging) and access the device via the adb tool to issue arbitrary commands or access the files on the device with the full permissions of the device owner.

Proof-of-Concept video :

The PoC video is given below :

Affected Android smartphones :

The researchers stated that they have informed the Android security team about the vulnerability and Android released 5.1.1 build LMY48M containing fix for this vulnerability.  However the patch has percolated only to the owners of Nexus 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10. As with every Android smartphone vulnerability, the sheer number of versions in the market make it impossible for Google to patch every smartphone running on Android operating system. Also many smartphone manufacturers are lazy in passing the patches to the end customers effectively rendering such smartphones vulnerable to this attack.

Mitigation techniques :

Those smartphones which haven’t received the update yet could immediately switch to a PIN or pattern-based lockscreen to avoid potential hack and loss of personal data.
