How to unlock pattern in an Android phone (Android version 2.3)

1:45 AM

Many of us like to keep our phone locked,just for privacy.We don't want others to use our phone and stuff but many people forget the pattern,password they set and then they have only one option left and that is Google account login But what if you forgot that too !! Or you are not connected to internet that time :(
So today I will be telling how to unlock the device.
Note:-  I've tested it only at Android version 2.3 i.e. Gingerbread but you can try it on any of the version if you're lucky it might work because I'm not sure that it doesn't works on other versions or not.
 
This would wipe off all the stuff you have in your device but would unlock it.
 So to get your phone unlocked just follow the steps:-
  • Switch off the phone
  • When it's switched off press volume up button then simultaneously press home button and at last holding both (volume up and home) press Power on button. Don't release the buttons. [ if volume up doesn't work try volume down button]
  • Then you'll reach a secret factory mode.
                                             
  • There navigate ( through volume up or down button ) to clean /wipe factory flash or factory reset or anything similar to that and then press Home button to select it.
  • Then your phone will restart and probably now the lock's gone :)

How to put app data in external sd card

1:10 AM

Earlier i have written a post that helps in installing apps to external sd card (POST).It  works but it only sends the apps to sd .Games like temple run,agent dash,subway surfer,small racing games can be transferred to sd who are low in size approximately below 50MB that doesn't requires extra stuff to download But their are games like need for speed,real racing,Virtua tennis who have size above 100Mb , the apk of these apps/games are of 6-10Mb only but when you open it there is a notice that you need to download extra files to run it these files are very heavy and cant be transferred using the old link to sd trick. For that you need a software called folder mount . Download from official thread or click here. It requires Root

                       
How to use
Click the plus icon you can see in the first image and the second image will come on the screen.Type name of the app and click below source and select the folder.It will say that can it automatically transfer it to ext sd source click yes and press the tick and your folder will be moved in external sd.

Tip
Many times if you do this the game says that you need to download the extra files if that comes check the Name that you put in second image.When i was moving Virtua tennis files the same happened with me ,then i changed the name "Virtua Tennis" to "virtua tennis" (all in small) then it worked but in frontline commando i had to type the first letters in capital.
So if it in any app doesn't worked then put the folder from ext sd to its original folder.You can comment if you are having any problem

thanks
