Samsung Galaxy Fit - Upgrading Android 2.2 to 2.3 (Gingerbread)

Samsung released the firmware for Fit a week back. Though it is available in Samfirmware.com, there are not detailed.I found another link and it was very useful.
http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/06/procedure-how-to-flash-installupgrade.html

The next step for me is to work on moving apps to SD. Though the free App2Sd works, it is not working for memory consuming apps like gmail, maps, facebook etc. To do this we have to root the phone. Unfortunately none of the apps like Z4root, Androot worked except for the following link.

Typically, the next step is to partition your SD card using ROM Manager and then install S2E
BUT, S2E works only on cynagenmod phones.

There is another way to do it after installing SDK. Follow the link

I am able to move most of the apps to SD

Enjoy.....

Email Phishing - Income Tax Refund

I got an email from Income Tax department (information@incometaxindia.gov.in) that I am eligible for a income tax refund of Rs. 40,135.50 and I have to submit a confirmation refund request online.


I could make out that it was an email fraud immediately, however I am sure lot of innocent people will fall for this as the whole exercise was done with utmost professionalism and perfection. These guys have designed the websites of most of the banks and it looks real.








If they had fixed some of the broken images in their website and put the whole thing on the same domain (incometaxindia.gov.in) it would have been 100% perfect.

Is the IT department doing anything about this - OR as usual .........

Ippavae va ??





My neighbors moved in a month back and from then on my 2 sons are very much excited - Reason they have a 3 year old daughter.



Right from giving her all their toys to play with, flaunting to her about what they do at school, their collection of toys, their knowledge etc., things are going crazy. One day the house of filled perfume with smell and I rushed to check whats happening - I was shocked to see my second son using my perfume all over. We really do not know what they yap about sitting on the compound wall.









All these looked minor to me when I saw this scene today morning !!!!!
