How Android Rooting Process Work

To know how rooting process work you must have brief understanding of android so this article will dive you in brief in the Insight of the Android system.

Insight Into Android


Most devices, by default have their /system partition (found in the device’s internal memory) 
set to read-only, which means apps cannot modify this sacred folder. Mounting the /system partition with read-write access requires root priveleges. In an Android system, only a privileged (act as admin) app(i.e. An app running as root) can invoke or start another priveleged app.

Ordinary apps that are run as user cannot start apps that need privileged access.This is  a security measure, for in its absence any app would have been able to invoke itself (essentially creating a copy itself) with elevated priveleges. Hence, for an app to run as root, it must request root priveleges from an external app, called the Superuser or simply ‘su’. The final aim of the rooting process is to install this Superuser app on the device’s internal memory as a system app. Any app that needs elevated priveleges (root access) can then request the same from the Superuser app, a request which is usually forwaded to the user.

Process


 When an Android system boots up, the first piece of code that is executed is called the bootloader. This bootloader controls the boot process, hence access to the bootloader is required when installing a custom ROM or aftermarket firmware. Many devices, however, come with a ‘locked’ bootloader and need to be worked upon (read: hacked into) before we can flash
a custom ROM. However, if a device has an unlocked bootloader, rooting a phone becomes relatively easy. One can either find a custom ROM for your phone model that has already been rooted and flash it onto your phone, or you can simply pull the existing ROM from your device, add the Superuser.apk file to it and flash it back to your device.

You can refer my articles to implement this process of Rooting

How Desktop Website And Mobile Website Differ

This article will let you know most vivid interpretation know a days that is Websites.
You all might strike with a question how if a site is opened on desktop or Mobile will tackle the changes so I will let you know that changes between Mobile web pages and Regular web pages or you can say desktop version of a site .I will explain it taken into aspect different Points.


Interface-Screen Size:

Most what matter is what we see so a mobile web page UI is entirely different from
Desktop one not in terms of functioning but the area it uses to display varies a lot from desktop to mobile.While most desktop monitors are 19-inch to 24-inch diagonal size, tablets are commonly 10 inches diagonal. Smartphones are 4 inches diagonal.Designers need to remove unnecessary information like bundle of pictures ,choose smaller pictures, increase font size, and collapse content into expandable widgets.

Finger Tapping:

Generally all smartphones today are touch sensitive through which user interacts is less precise and require larger area to focus on  therefore it is expected to see larger tap targets like tiles and fewer text based hyperlinks.

URL

Using a mobile friendly website mainly include ‘m’ as significant part of address which is automatically embedded  like in case of facebook apps.

Advertising:

Ads are the mainfiesta of earning today they are spread over a regular desktop site because of enough available area but think of in terms of mobile which is a micro device infront of desktop hence ads are mainly removed from mobile version site or are given much less preference if there.In case of apps to ads are grouped at bottom that flahes with micro icons acting as links not garbling your mobile display giving a better UX

Navigation:

On desktop site user can navigate left to right but in case of mobile sites tabs are mostly placed such that they are navigated vertically according to touch sensitivity providng wider information one at a time on mobile screens

iPhone5S-Forward Thinking


iPhone 5s is purposefully imagined. Meticulously considered. Precision crafted. It’s not just a product of what’s technologically possible. But what’s technologically useful. It’s not just what’s next. But what should be next.

Progress is a beautiful Thing-iSight Camera



All that adds up to 33 per cent greater light sensitivity. That’s significant, because more light gives you better, brighter images with even more accurate colours. And the new True Tone flash intelligently figures out exactly how much light your shot needs. 

Captures Your Fingerprints



The very first iPhone introduced the world to the idea of touch as the most natural way to interact with a smartphone. Touch to hear a song. Touch to browse the web. Touch to take a picture. All of it began with something perfectly simple: your finger. And now we’ve taken touch to the next logical place with Touch ID, the fingerprint identity sensor. Your fingerprint is the perfect password. You always have it with you. And no one can ever guess what it is. But beyond that, it just made sense to us that your phone should recognise you. It should learn you, not require you to memorise and enter passwords in order to use it. 

Improved Performance


The A7 chip is designed around 64-bit architecture — a first for any smartphone. The move to 64-bit has been years in the making. But we did it because we wanted to put desktop-class processing power in the palm of people’s hands. Just imagining what people will do with that made the decision to invest in it an easy one. The A7 chip gives iPhone 5s the power it needs for all the capabilities it now possesses. It’s up to 2x faster than the previous generation in both CPU and 
graphics performance. It has an all-new image signal processor. And it supports OpenGL ES 3.0, enabling visual effects previously possible only on computers and gaming consoles. Yet with all these performance enhancements, A7 is still energy efficient.

Familiar But Further-iOS 7


iOS 7 is the manifestation of simplicity. The interface is purposely unobtrusive. Anything that doesn’t add value has been stripped away. So the focus is on what matters most: your content. Layers and translucency create depth and provide a sense of context and place. Animation and motion make everything more engaging. And the result is a better, smarter, more delightful experience overall. iOS 7 is just another way iPhone 5s is the culmination of forward thinking.
