Cydia is the best option for you if you are like me- always wanting something new and quite frankly iOS does not give you something new unlike android, and also maybe you would like to backup your setting for a rainy day(pun-intended).

So, here's how you can backup your Cydia tweaks


xBackup

xBackup is probably the best option if you are on a tight budget. This is available for 1.50$ on the cydia store. This app also saved the app's settings for a perfect restore. After the firmware restore just sync with iTunes and hit restore and you got yourself a perfect working backup that you wanted before you formatted your iDevice

Android Tips&Trick-Part 8

This tips and tricks is mainly for Android users which have OS V4.0 and above



Make your phone run faster 
Here are the top 5 tips to make your phone run faster: 

1) Use only essential widgets on your homescreen - each widget consumes memory and processing power which can slow your down your phone. 

 2) Uninstall apps that you don't use - after awhile your phone can get cluttered as some Apps are designed to always run in the background. If you rarely use an App, then uninstall it to free up memory and CPU resource. 

 3) Install Apps to your phone memory - if you have an SDCard, always install Apps to the phone memory, which can be accessed faster. If you have Apps on the SDCard, then move them back to the phone memory with an App called Move2SD available from the Play Market. 

 4) Use Static rather than Live wallpapers - Live wallpapers consume processing power and memory. Unless you really must have them, uninstall them. 

 5) Kill tasks occasionally - Some Apps will run in the background indefinitely unless you kill them. Most of them won't cause a problem, but it pays to check your running tasks from time to time. Hold down your Home key and check the Task Manager. 

 One last thing: Don't use Task Killers. Android manages tasks very well and Task Killers just make your phone unstable and can slow it down further

Android Tips&Trick-Part 7

This tips and tricks is mainly for Android users which have OS V4.0 and above


31.Make volume / music louder
WARNING: Making your volume or music louder can damage your hearing. Most phones have their volumes limited by local laws to protect our hearing. There is a way to boost your volume however.

Go to the Android Market and download an App called Volume+ (Sound Boost).

There is also a free version called Volume+ Free. You will need to root your phone for this App to work.
