Guide

Requirements:Google Chrome 20

APK Downloader Chrome Extension

STEPS:

1. Make sure you have a Google Chrome VERSION 20 installed on your PC.
2. Download and install the Device ID on your Android device.
3. Download and install the APK Downloader Chrome Extension. (Please view the video to learn how to install)
   
   
4. Disable SSL error warnings
   • Close Google Chrome application [!Important!]
   • Right click on the Chrome shortcut and select "Properties"
   • Select the "Shortcut" tab, and add [space]--ignore-certificate-errors at the end. It should look like this:
   
   

   C:\…\chrome.exe --ignore-certificate-errors

   
5. Close Chrome and re-open it with the modified shortcut, then open the APK Downloader options page. If there is no warning box, then you successfully disabled SSL error warnings.
   
   
Enter email and device ID on Options page

1. There are two ways to get Email and Device ID
a. Easy way: install this Device ID app, it will show you your GSF ID and Device ID, what we need here is GSF Android-ID (used by Google Services)
b. Difficult way: Open dial pad, call *#*#8255#*#* ( 8255 = TALK ). If it opens “GTalk Service Monitor”, find lines that begin with JID and Device ID. Your email is JID, and your device id is a string that after android- prefix
For example: if it shows android-1234567890abcdef , then your device ID is1234567890abcdef
Do not type in random email or device ID, it won’t work
6. That's it. You can now start using APK Downloader.
   
   **After logging in, you can navigate to any Google Play App page, and click the APK Downloader icon in the Address bar to download the .apk to your desktop!

StumbleUpon releases new site redesign in beta, featuring Pinterest-like stumbles and lists

Following a traffic nose-dive from last December’s site redesign, the loss of its CEO and the recent release of a redesigned iOS app, StumbleUpon is today revealing a site redesign in beta.

Last week’s iOS redesign introduced a cleaner and livelier look which suggested the company was heading in the right direction. Today, however, the company appears to be looking towards Pinterest’s successful and highly mimicked design for inspiration.

In cases like these, it’s important to remember that Pinterest did not invent the masonry layout, but if you look around, you’ll find a lot more design cues which StumbleUpon appears to have borrowed. They’re not the only ones to have done this, but look below and see what we mean:




StumbleUpon’s redesign features color-coded and category specific pins stumbles, which can be organized into boards lists. Lists will soon become a very important aspect of the StumbleUpon experience, and StumbleUpon has informed TNW that they will soon arrive in the company’s mobile applications and browser extensions.
That, along with little details like list cover photos and the general style of the example lists (I Love Disco, Body is a Temple, Kitschy Life and Things for my Twenty-Something Self) make the connection too strong to miss. Stealing bad ideas is something we’ve covered before.


With this new beta site, the company has also added the ability to stumble the pages your friends have recently liked, commented on, or shared through Facebook and Twitter. That feature, along with the interesting usage of the new Stumble DNA, may be moving the site forward, but the proliferation of Pinterest-like elements and the usage of three confusingly stacked navigation bars is worrying to say the least.
If you’d like to explore the new beta site, visit the Labs section in your settings page and check ”Enable new Home page and Navigation.” If you have your own thoughts on the new look, definitely share them with us in the comments!

Samsung Unveils World's First Windows 8 Phone

The announcement at a Berlin electronics show comes amid expectations that smartphone makers may turn increasingly to Windows devices after a US jury decided many of Samsung's Google Android-based phones infringed Apple Inc patents.

Samsung Electronics became the first handset maker to announce a smartphone using Microsoft's latest mobile software, making its surprise, hurried announcement just days before the highly anticipated launch of Nokia's version. Samsung said the ATIV phone would hit stores in the October-November period but did not give an exact start date.

The brief announcement at a Berlin electronics show comes amid expectations that smartphone makers may turn increasingly to Windows devices after a US jury decided many of Samsung's Google Android-based phones infringed Apple Inc patents.

 Samsung's ATIV S Windows phone sports a high-end 4.8-inch display, Corning "Gorilla" glass, and an 8-megapixel rear camera and 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera.

 The ATIV S features a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, a 4.8-inch high-definition Super AMOLED display, 1GB of RAM, microSDHC support, an 8-megapixel camera, and a 2,300 mAh battery.

 Samsung's Windows-based smartphone, introduced on Wednesday, marks the first in a 'big lineup of new hardware' from the South Korean company based on Microsoft's software, Microsoft executive Ben Rudolph said.

 Samsung hopes the new device will take the focus away from its loss of the court case. Apple is now seeking speedy bans on the sale of eight Samsung phones, moving swiftly to turn legal victory into tangible business gain.

Nokia, the ailing Finnish mobile firm, once the world's leading producer of phones but now struggling to reverse losses, is due to unveil its new Lumia line of smartphones using Windows Phone 8 in New York on September 5.

 Analysts say the introduction of Samsung's Windows phone may be designed to assuage concerns that Microsoft will favor Nokia, whose Chief Executive Stephen Elop -- himself a former senior Microsoft executive -- has staked its future on the Windows platform.
