How to show a false location of where you are? (Android)

Whether you want to just show someone being in a desired location, or just try the online products or services not available for your location, these tricks will help you do this amazing practice!

So starting up, you have to check the checkbox "Allow mock location" in Developer options section in Settings.

If Developer options is not shown in your settings you have to enable that by going to About phone> Device information then tap on the Build number 7 times. You'll get the developer options enabled.

So then you need the app called Mock Locations (Fake GPS path) installed on your device. Open that app and choose your location with that.

Now, to check it it works or not, open your maps app e.g. Google Maps then tap on the my location button on lower right corner. It will take you to the exact place you had set with the Mock Locations app.
You can also Check-In with your Facebook.

Remember not to close that app and allow it to run in the background while you do your stuff.

This won't work for your online products like apps available on Play Store for other countries which are not released for your country. There's another trick to do that.

You might say you can simply download the APK file of that app from a sideload apps site. But I'm going to show you how to download that from Play Store officially itself.

Prerequisite is a VPN app that you can easily get from the Store. There are many, but I would suggest you to use the Opera Free VPN - Unlimited VPN by OSL Networks as it's a trusted one.

Now after signing in, choose your country e.g. United States where your desired app is out. After it's done, clear the data of Play Store in Apps manager in Settings.

Now launch Play Store and you can see the effect. You can get the Spotify, YouTube Music and many more which are not available here.

That's it.

Best Gaming Laptops You Can Buy Right Now

Gaming Laptops are no joke. They pack some serious performance under the hood that even some mid-range desktops cannot match. They’re often considered as huge, heavy and fat machines with red and blue paint all over their chassis, but that’s not the case at present. Over the past few years, manufacturers have introduced laptops packing more and more power in a thinner and lighter chassis. If you take a look at a gaming laptop from ten years ago and compare to anything from the present, I can guarantee that your jaw will drop and you’ll start wondering how technology has improved over the decade. Here are the top 10 performance grade laptops to make your selection from. 1. ASUS ROG G701VI Gaming Laptop  Unlocked Intel i7-7820HK processor 64GB of DDR4 RAM (yes, you read that right!) 1 TB NVMe SSD Overclockable GTX 1080 desktop class graphics card 17.3-inch 120Hz Full HD IPS panel with NVIDIA G-Sync 2.

How to verify your downloaded files using MD5 Checksum on Windows?

MD5 stands for Message Digest version 5 . The MD5 algorithm takes a file (the “message”) of any size, and reduces it down to a code that looks like this: “ac30ce5b07b0018d65203fbc680968f5″ (the “digest”). The brilliant thing about the MD5 algorithm is that if the message changes by so much as a single byte, it will produce a completely different digest. An MD5 sum is a string of letters and numbers that acts like a fingerprint for a file. If two files have the same MD5 sum, the files are exactly alike - which is why MD5 "fingerprints" can verify whether or not your downloaded file got corrupted in transit, hence it is used to verify the integrity of files, as virtually any change to a file will cause its MD5 hash to change. MD5 digests have been widely used in the software world to provide some assurance that a transferred file has arrived intact. For example, file servers often provide a pre-computed MD5 (known as md5sum) checksum for the files, so that a user can compare th...

Running Windows apps on your Android device using Wine

The title seemed like it's reverse. Didn't it? haha Yes, I'm not talking about running Android apps in Windows, I'm talking about running Windows x86 apps in your Android!!! Developers from CodeWeavers have just released version 3.0 of the Wine compatibility layer for Linux-based systems, which can now be built into an APK package and installed on your Android device. Earlier it could power Chromebooks to do the same. Wine 3.0 release represents a year of development effort and over 6,000 individual changes. You can get the full documentation here . Image source :Android Police Although you’ll need an x86 Android device to take full advantage of it. Wine does support ARM devices, but you can only use programs that were ported to Windows RT. You can find a few examples here. The Wine project is working on using QEMU to emulate x86 CPU instructions on ARM, but that’s not complete yet. XDA Developers forum has a list of such apps that can be run full-fledge...
