In this entry, I'd like to talk about an android app "Tumblife," which makes your
Tumblr life more comfortable.
This app works smoothly and is easy-to-use.
In addition, it is free!

One of the features which makes this app outstanding is that Tumblife specializes in "Reblog" and "Like."
Most of the apps for Tumblr try to do everything.
Considering that we use our smartphones when we go outside, I think we don't post anything on tumblr.
Even though you can operate a lot of apps at the same time thanks to multitasking,
it is tiresome to manage many apps.
And web browsers such as Firefox or Google Chrome are more powerful and helpful than smartphones.
I think the strategy that the developer of this app used, was to remove the functions like
post or edit, and then specialized in only "Reblog/Like" is very tactful.


When you run this app, it starts to log in and then load the contents of your Dashboard.
You can move on to the next/previous content by "Back" and "Next" button at the lower right.

Another feature of this app is operating speed.
This app loads next contents automatically while you're browsing content.
Thanks to this, there is no loading time when you go on to the next content.
Of course, you can go to a link in the content via the built-in browser.



Needless to say, you can add your comment when you reblog content.




This app is very convenient because you don't need to wait until the app finishes
processing "Reblog" and "Like."

Now let me explain one of the most amazing features "Pin."
First, check on the check-box of "Use Pin" in Setting.



With "Pin" function, you can reblog all of the contents on which you put "Pin" collectively in a flash.


If you reblog them while reading contents on your dashboard, it could happen that
both unread contents and the contents you reblogged are mixed.
But if you use "Pin", you don't need to be worried about that.


If you are an fervid reblogger, Tumblife is a must-have app.
It is a bit of shame that I can't manage multiple accounts via Tumblife.
However the developer released "Tumblife dev" (development build) on his web site.

Enjoy your tumblife!

As I mentioned in my previous entry, Tumblr is a web service which is a
very easy-to-post platform. I'm really addicted to it.

Firefox extensions such as Greasemonkey, AutoPagerize, LDRize and
Minibuffer make our reblog life much more comfortable.
But, thanks to strenuous efforts by many developers, Google Chrome is
getting more suitable for reblogging than before.
Besides, Google Chrome has gained market share.


These three chrome extensions, which are quite similar to those of Firefox,
are available now.
If you are a tumblr addict, you should install these extensions.

1:Taberareloo




2:Chrome Keyconfig




3:AutoPatchWork




Taberareloo is Tombloo of Chrome version.
It has a reblog command.
On the dashboard of your tumblr, you can move on to the next content
just by typing "j" (scroll down) and "k" (scroll up). You don't need to use
your mouse device on the dashboard.
By typing "p", you can put a pin on the content you want to reblog.
So if you want to reblog a lot of contents on your dashboard, you put
pins on them.
You type "t" on your dashboard, and then you can reblog the contents
collectively in a moment.

Put pins...

And then, reblog them all.


With Taberareloo, all you have to do is press "j", "k", "p" and "t."


After installing these extensions, click the wrench icon on the browser toolbar.
And then, Click Tools, select Extensions.

First, you should fine-tune "Taberareloo."
After opening the setting page by clicking options of Taberareloo from extensions,
you can set crossposting into multiple forums.
For the time being, please double-click Reblog of Tumblr.


Next, enable ”Dashboard - ReBlog” of the item "Dashboard + Taberareloo" on Post tab.


After this, please save the setting.

As for Chrome Keyconfig, you should open "Basics" tab and check off the
check-box of LDRize. By doing this, you can enable Reblog Command.



AutoPatchWork is AutoPagerize of chrome version.
You can also use AutoPagerize for Chrome which is published on the
AutoPagerize official site.
But AutoPatchWork is more comfortable and convenient.
If you want to reload the next page on your dashboard, you should set
2000 at base remain height on Basics tab.

*If you enable "Endless Scrolling" in Preferences of Tumblr and you are satisfied
with it, you don't need to install AutoPatchWork.

When you finish these procedures, let's access your dasboard.
You can move on to the next content by "j" and "k".
If you press "o", you can the content in a new tab.
And you can put pins by "p" and reblog the contents in an instant.


And if you want to post something of the Internet, such as photos, texts,
quotes and bookmarks onto your tumblelog (in fact, you can post them
onto a variety of web services such as Delicious, Friendfeed, Evernote,
Twitter and so on), you can post them by Taberareloo without difficulty.

For example, if you want to post a picture onto your tumblelog, you should
right-click on the picture and you can find Taberareloo in the context menu
and click it.


Then, QuickPostForm will pop up. So you just click "post."
It's a piece of cake!
Of course, you can capture the web contents you want to clip.

Android is gradually gaining a lot of market share these days.
Of course, I must admit that iPhone is one of the most prominent smart phones.
At the same time, smart phones run by the Android OS also have superb features.

In this entry, I want to talk about an interesting app, especially for anime otakus!

AnimeWatch

With this app, you can enjoy many episodes of anime on your andriod mobile phone or tablet, so it will be helpful in enriching your anime life.
(Sadly, I cannot access Crunchyroll due to regional restriction.)

To get this app, you have to download "Applanet" first because AnimeWatch is not in the official Android Market.
Applanet is an android app which contains humongous amounts of apps from the free to paid version.
Besides, you can download the paid version for free.

*If you try to download a paid app, you should be careful not to be infected with a virus or malware.
Thinking of the fact that android malware is spreading nowadays, you should install an anti-virus app to ward off infections.

1)access Applanet.net and then download Applanet app (confusing lol).


2)install Applanet onto your phone via filemanager app.



3)visit Applanet.net and then search for AnimeWatch.




4)install AnimeWatch and you can enjoy your favourite English subbed anime on your device while rolling around on your bed. lol




What is worthy of special mention is that AnimeWatch includes over 500 series and 20,000 episodes!
And these animes are sorted in an alphabetical order.


You can find an episode you want to watch with ease.




*To watch anime, you need to install Adobe Flash app and Android 2.2 or higher.

*Proceed at your own risk.
I take no blame for what you do to your phone.

Needless to say, we can see enormous growth in technology fields on a daily basis.
Smartphones and PDA devices are one of those fields in which we can see remarkable developments.
Apps for smartphone also make our lives more comfortable.

In this entry, I want to talk about a unique and useful app which I use every day.

Fouroid

Fouroid is a 4u RSS reader.
4u is a social web site where a lot of images of Japanese girl are posted.

Fouroid is an android app which downloads and checks the site's RSS feed and saves the images onto your SD card.
So you don't need to visit the site regularly.
And you can set the interval to fetch RSS data.






If you touch an image, it will pop up.

You can add star,,,


You can zoom in, if you want.



swipe and star, swipe and star,,,,

You can check these starred images in your bookmark folder.



And thanks to intent, you can launch other applications, such as your twitter app, to post the image.




So you can also share the images with other people if your heart is touched(*^^*)

This app can sedate me after work, especially when I'm quite exhausted. lol

Anyway, if you like this app, why don't you download it.
It costs you only ￥300.

I think it is worth it♪

Before someone points out, I must admit I'm an ass man(`・ω・´)

Yay!!
I got Nexus One last October.


And I was waiting for OTA update of Android 2.3(Gingerbread).
Last December they announced the update of Android 2.3 via OTA in the coming weeks.
While the source code of Android 2.3 was opened to the pulic the other day, Gingerbread Rom for Nexus One was disclosed at last.
So I decided to install Gingerbread custom Rom by myself.

To install Gingerbread Rom, I had to get root access to my N1.
Thanks to SuperOneClock, I could do it easily, just with a click of the mouse literally. lol

[APP]SuperOneClick v1.5.5 (Root, Unroot, Enable Non-Market App, Get UNLOCK code)




After getting root access, I downloaded the Rom from here.
[ROM] Gingerbread v.20 (Stock/Trackball Wake/Gapps/DT-Ap2SD) (ThemePack v1.9) 1/11/11

And then, I copied the Rom to microSD of Nexus One. (/sdcard)
Power down Nexus One and power it back on while holding down the volume down button.
The bootloader menu appeared and I tried to access recovery mode.

But when I accessed recovery mode from bootloader menu (pressing volume down + power), the screen went blank.
No recovery menu appeared.

So I installed custom recovery image (RA-nexus-v2.1.1.img).

Opened a command prompt, and typed this.

fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v2.1.1.img

I could access recovery mode.




I wiped my N1(factory reset) and flashed Gingerbread Rom (v.19).



I got it!!!





The Gingerbread Rom still has some known issues, but basically it functions well.
The Rom is updated every day by passionate developers of XDA(smartphone community).

Here are new features of Android 2.3.
■UI refinements for simplicity and speed
■Faster, more intuitive text input
■One-touch word selection and copy/paste
■Improved power management
■Control over applications
■New ways of communicating, organizing
