3 Best Applications for Downloading YouTube Videos

For many reasons, you might have the need to download videos from YouTube especially; when you have limited data plan, the best thing to do is to download the videos from YouTube so that you may be able to watch the downloaded videos from time time.

Although, there are several applications you can use to download videos from YouTube but one is always preferred to another.

Here, I have the list of three (3) best applications you can use to download videos from YouTube.

3 Best Applications for Downloading YouTube Videos

1- Videorder: Videorder is the first on the list for a few reasons which I believe are well worth it.
Videorder is an android device application basically developed for YouTube downloads. It is the first android application that offers YouTube video downloads in different sizes thus; in different resolutions which also determines how much megabyte of data such download consumes.

Videorder has beautiful UI accompanied with simple but sophisticated features. You can read more about Videoorder from here. Videoder can be downloaded from here.


2- YouTube MP3: this application has everything you would normally need, too. It can download videos of any length directly from YouTube and if you want to download just the mp3 from the video; it's all fine with the application.

The only flop I noticed from this application is that, it requires a stable and strong internet access to function well.

YouTube MP3 can be downloaded from the Play Store or directly from this link.

3- Download All Videos: Download All Videos is another application I have used prior to the discovery and the advancement of the Videoder application. This application is also good at downloading several videos from the internet. However, there is one problem with this application; it does not download most videos from YouTube.

It claims that some videos on YouTube cannot be downloaded due to copyright issues.

Since it does not download most videos from the YouTube, you might be wondering why I include it in the list right? It simply because it is the fasted video downloader I have ever used on android device.

You may download Download All Videos app from here (Play Store).

Valid Infinix Hot Note IMEI for MTN FREE 50GB: Video Tutorial

Recently, I published a post discussing how true the MTN FREE 50GB of data is, the steps to take to get it and how it could be done. Unfortunately, I lost my VALID INFINIX HOT NOTE IMEI when I changed my Whatsapp phone so I could share the IMEI in the post. But the good news is, I am lucky enough to receive another valid INFINIX HOT NOTE IMEI from one of my loyal fans.

Today, I am sharing with you, a video tutorial I compiled. This video tutorial reveals the valid Infinix Hot Note IMEI and how to use it to generate several valid Infinix Hot Note IMEI.

The video does not include how to change the IMEI. If you don't know how to change the IMEI, visit this page to learn how to change the IMEI of your android devices.

Below is attached the video, you can simply check it out and enjoy your MTN free GBs.
The more valid IMEI you are able to generate, the more GBs you may get.

NOTE:
If after watching the video, you still could not generate valid IMEI, don't contact me with the hope that I will generate IMEI for you FREE OF CHARGE. It would be at a cost of N200 each.
So, it's your choice.

MTN Free 50GB Data: How to Truly Get it

Recently, I have being receiving a lot of Whatsapp messages asking me to provide them with a valid IMEI they can use to enjoy the new rocking MTN free 50GB tweaks, here I have come with your request. I am just writing this to put you through the actual process to get the FREE 50GB of MTN data rather than the other useless IMEIs that's filled the blogs and forums.

If you do not get it right and still decide to Whatsapp me over the same MTN free 50GB data issue again, you should be ready to pay for my time then.

Unlike most others that have never done the free 50GB tweak and still publishing wrong info, I have done it and I would explain to you clearly how I did it to get the MTN 50GB free data on my 2 personal SIMs and on some other people's MTN SIMs here -of course, I collected money because I can't give such awuf out completely free of charge.

How to Get the Right IMEI for the MTN FREE 50GB Data

Observe the image below well, if you cannot see it well, click on the image to enlarge it.
Valid HTC One X IMEI


Firt, let me tell you some facts!
1- All the IMEIs I have listed below are invalid IMEIs and you can never produce any VALID IMEI out of them. People are just posting rubbish on the internet. To make it even worst, some people keep copying all the rubbish around.

2- MTN does not actually credit FREE 50GB of data however, you can do it multiple times using different IMEIs to get up to 50GB.
358429040022703
358429040022711
358429060086301

If you check all the IMEIs above using IMEI Analyser (most of them are all around the forums and blogs) discussing this same FREE MTN 50GB, you will notice that they DO NOT have CD (Check Digit) which is actually what validates IMEI.

If you are give any IMEI and you check that the CD (Check Digit) is missing, don't even border yourself on it.

Unfortunately, I lost the valid Infinix Hot Note IMEI with my Whatsapp messages backup when I changed my phone. The IMEI was sent to me via Whatsapp by one of the ArykTECH fans in exchange for a service I rendered him. With that IMEI, I have generated nearly 26 VALID IMEIs and they all worked for the MTN FREE 50GB of data tweak.

So, if you happen to have someone who has Infinix Hot Note around you or that you have it, simply follow the guides below to claim your FREE MTN data.

How to Get FREE GB Data from MTN

1- Get a VALID Infinix Hot Note IMEI (you may skip this step if you have Infinix Hote Note)
2- Tweak the IMEI and change your phone's IMEI to the Infinix Hot Note IMEI you have generated. You may follow the guides here to change the IMEI.
3- Send INFINIX in an SMS to 131

Checking Data Balance>
Dial *123*4*3*2# or *559*4# to check your data balance.

Any volunteer to resend another VALID Infinix Hot Note IMEI to ArykTECH shall be appreciated.

How to Download YouTube Videos Directly On Android Device

Videoder is the best android application you can use to download YouTube videos for many reasons.

MD5Sum Check Mismatch Error: Correcting it On Custom Recoveries

As it ever occurred to you, either in TWRP or ClockWorkMod recovery, to give an MD5sum mismatch error message while recovering from a back up?
Yes. It does happen if it has never happened to you and if it has happened to you before; here I discuss how to correct the error and force TWRP or ClockWorkMod Recovery to bypass the MD5sum check stage while restoring an android device from a previous backup file.

Sometimes, a backup could be so important to you that you would not want to loose the backup at any cost. Maybe because it's the only back-up for that phone that you have left or because it's the only perfectly working backup you have left and the MD5sum mismatch is preventing you from flashing the backup back on the phone or any other phones alike.
Android Restore

How Does MD5sum Works?

MD5sum is a security measure usually used to check the validity of a file. It is usually generated when the file is being created. The time, the date and some other factors are being considered while the MD5sum is being generated.

In other words, the same factors that are been considered when an MD5Sum is being generated are also considered in validating a file.

2 Ways to Bypass MD5Sum Check of Android Backup File

Method 1: the Backdating Method
This method involves you to backdate the time on the android device on which you wish to restore the backed up file.
How Do I Backate?
1- Go to Settings >> Time And Date and reset the date on the Android device to an earlier time, close to when the backup was made.
E.g if the backup was made on an android device whose date was 12-12-2010 then, you should reset your android phone's date to 13-12-2010.
This method is especially good for backups made with ClockWorkMode and TWRP recovery because you can easily know the time and date the backup was made by simply looking at backup folders' name.

Method 2: MD5Sum Erase Method
This method simply erases all the MD5sum files thereby forcing either ClockWorkMod Recovery or TWRP recovery to overlook the MD5sum files and skip the MD5sum check stage.

How Do I Do this?
1- Download any of the file browsers available on the market. I use ES Explorer.

2- Navigate to the backup folder.

3- Locate the backup folder.
In TWRP Recovery: Lunch your File browser (e.g ES) >> the Disk (SD Card or Internal Memory) >> TWRP Folder >> Backups >> The Backup Folder you want
Or
In ClockWorkMod Recovery: Lunch your File browser (e.g ES) >> the Disk (SD Card or Internal Memory) >> ClockWorkMod Folder >> Backups >> The Backup Folder you want
4- In the Backup folder, locate any of the files whose name ends with .md5 -that is the file we need.

5- Tap to open it. A list pops up, simply select "Text" then, it will open up using either the explorer or your native .txt application.

6- Highlight and erase everything in the folder then, save it. That's all and good luck.

You can now go back and flash the backup file on any compatible phones.

Android Battery Manager/Booster Apps, Do they Really Work?

It would be very funny when you discover that what you think proffer solutions actually does more harm than good. Won't it?
Such is the case in most android devices' battery that charges but never retains current. Some even charge for ages but whenever you check them, you will discover that they are only few % charged.

Today, there are thousands of applications if not millions in the Google PlayStore (official android applications store) and of all these applications, certain categories of applications are very common. Do you know what they are? Social Apps?... Besides them? Browsers?... Battery Managers? Yes!

Applications that fall under the Battery Managers' category are commonly installed on most android devices. Want to know why? This is simply because of the android devices nature. Until recently, android devices consume so much power that their batteries cannot last for 24hrs (under proper use) and in the quest to extending the battery span, most people download android device battery manager.

Now, Do Battery Managers App Really Work for Android?

Well, indeed, android battery manager applications really work BUT; not in the direction they are intended.
If you install android manager app on your android device and you hope that it will extend your android device' battery span, then I would say you are expecting lion cub born of a tiger.

How Android Battery Manager Apps Really Work

Ordinary, the display contrast of your android device, the service signal, the radio strenght, your WiFi, hotspot and Bluetooth, the call quality of your android device and host of other features are what actually drain your android device battery.
Now, what the android device battery manager apps actually do is that, since they know all the features that drain the battery, they tend to either manage them or control these features' activities.
For instance;
Supposing you install a battery buster/manager on your android device, what it does when you activate the battery buster/manager is/are;
1- It adjusts your phone's signal.
2- It adjusts your phone's display contrast.
3- It toggles your phone's WiFi, Bluetooth and Call Quality.
4- And some battery buster/manager tampers with the phone's kernel configurations
...all this to make your battery last longer.

Side Effects of Battery Manager/Buster Apps

If your ultimate goal is to make the battery booster/manager app extend your battery span, then there are more ultimate side effects you should expect.

Possible Problems Caused By Battery Manager Apps
1- Overtime, the use of battery booster/manager on android device can cause android device kernel to malfunction resulting in excessive heat of the device.

2- Battery Consumption Problems: battery manager apps may later alter (negatively) the rate at which your android device battery is consumed. Even if you change the battery, it won't make a difference.

3- Charging Problems: often times, when battery booster/manager tampers with your android device's kernel, it results in long-time charging without or not much effect on the battery. This is why some android device will charge for 10hrs or more and the battery will only have   few % on it.

Conclussion
Battery Booster/manager apps are not part of the necessary apps that should be installed on android devices. If at all you need to extend your android device battery span, simply adjust the settings to be minimal or at most; optimal.

Of course every individual that owns laptop(s) charges his/her laptop(s), however, the charging habit might not be a good one.
Good Charging Habits are when;
1- You charge the laptop's battery when it goes below 30%.
2- You unplug the charger from the laptop when the charging is complete.
3- You desist from using the laptop (for too long) while it's still charging.
4- You do not charge the laptop's battery with unstable power suply.
5- You do not charge the laptop's battery with high current etc.
2- Always Use Optimal Contrast:
The brighter your PC displays, the more power it consumes and that will always tell on the battery. If you wish to elongate the duration for which the battery lasts per a session (a 100% charge), you should set your PC contrast to an average.

3- Updated Video And Graphics Controllers/Drivers Minimizes Battery Consumption:
Ensure that you do always update your video/graphics controllers/drivers to the latest available. Later video/graphics controllers/drivers are known to be very efficient and consumes much lesser current.

As much as you can, use ONLY recommended chargers for charging your laptops. In most cases, the use of unlicensed chargers do not evidently affect the laptop, but in the long run; it does affects the laptop's battery.

Use "SLEEP" or "Shortdown", Do Not Hibernate
The "SLEEP" and "Hibernate" features of the Windows, starting from the Windows Vista are similar but not identical. For the battery's sake, use the "SLEEP" feature instead of the "Hibernate" feature otherwise, shut-down the PC.

Stick to these "Best Usage Practices" for using laptop's battery and you shall get better usage results from your laptop battery.

Custom Recovery On HTC Androids: 3 Possible Flashing Methods

Having custom recovery flashed on android devices is very important. In fact, it should be one of the first things to do on your android device.

You might wonder why? Recovery is like a partition where the half-life of an android device is buried however, the stock recovery would not easily release this half-life whenever it is needed unlike the custom recovery.

This is the reason why custom recovery needs to be flashed on your android device. It helps us easily troubleshoot and recover our android device in case the worst happens.
Within this publication, I shall discuss three (3) different methods you can use to flash custom recovery on any kind of HTC android device. For the sake of newbie that needs to know what Custom Recovery is, you can read about custom recovery from here.

3 Methods to Flash Custom Recovery On Any HTC Android Device

HTC Custom Recovery Flashing Method -1
The first method to be discussed here is the simplest method but holds the highest committable risks. Want to know why? Yes. This method is the simplest because it can be used to flash custom recovery on any kind of HTC android devices including the S-On HTC androids and it is risky because it involves rooting the phone, first.

And for anybody who knows how androids work, you should know that rooting can cause unspeakable damages to android devices. However, for HTC S-On android devices, there is no better option than this except that you are able to unlock the HTC Phone's bootloader following this guide here.
So, if your HTC android device is S-On, this is your best option to get custom recovery flashed on the phone.
Method 1:

4- Wait patiently for Rashr to complete the flashing process and reboot your phone to recovery to confirm that your custom recovery has been flashed.
HTC Custom Recovery Flashing Method -2
This method works best for HTC S-off android devices and it involves using your SD Card to update the recovery partition from the bootloader.
Method 2
1- Download the recovery image for your HTC phone.It could be TWRP or ClockWorkMod recovery. Just download one.

2- Create an andro-info.txt file for the phone.

3- Create a new folder on your PC and move just the 2 files (andro-file.txt and recovery.img) there. Don't forget to rename the recovery to recovery or recovery.img

4- Highlight the 2 files, right-click and then, add them to archive or send them to a zip file (depending on the program you are using). Name the zip file as the-model-id-of-the-phoneIMG.zip e.g PC10IMG.zip for HTC G2 and PH58IMG.zip for HTC G21.

HTC Recovery
5- Transfer the zip file to the root of your SD Card and insert the SD Card to the phone.
