A Complete Guide To Install HD Games with CACHE, APK & OBB files on all Android Devices

*Updated* How to Install Android games or Apps with APK, OBB/data file in any Android 2018 - Both geeks and game lovers do agree that HD games are really amazing on Android devices, merely staring at the size of one which could be as large as 350 to 400MB, it takes a whole lot of patience downloading a game that size (except with the aid of apps like flash share).

Even after the long wait, frustration starts when you get stuck at the process of Installing and Playing that awesome game on your Droid device, well, this should give us easiest tips on how we can solve this.

It's a new year and we have the updated & latest steps to install Android games with APK, OBB (cache) in your device in 2017. This works on mobile smartphones, tablets and many other Android OS powered gadgets.

After reading this Post:

• You should be able to get the Best HD games for your Android.
• You should be able to know the right folders to Unpack or Paste Game files so you can Install and Play it successfully.

Android games with cache usually come in two files, mainly
- APK
- and OBB files
The APK is first installed, (you may launch it if required), this will create folder(s), where the OBB files will be placed.

I prepared a real good example;

How I installed CONTRACT KILLER 2, On My Android 4.0.4 (Ice cream Sandwich) device

1. Download the game cache -

i. CK2v2.0.0.apk

ii. CK2v2.0.0.zip


Now use a File Explorer, There are so many File Explorers to use for this, like ES Explorer, but I make use of WinZip, get WinZip for Android here
Which ever one that is easy for you, just use it to find the game CK2v2.0.0.zip

2.  When you open the CK2v2.0.0.zip with your WinZip, you should find the content inside like the screenshot below

3. Extract/Unzip the contents which is inside the CK2v2.0.0.zip  into the same folder in your Memory card, after extracting, the content should be a folder with name "CK2.0.0data"

 i.e >>> /mnt.sdcard/.Winzip/files/CK2v20.zip/CK2v2.0.0data


 4. Go back to your CK2v2.0.0.apk, Launch it,
It will prompt to connect to internet, Accept, once it downloads upto 3MB, Cancel it.
A Folder is Automatically created for you to place your game data.

5. Now, go to where you extracted CK2.0.0data, open the folder, you should see another Folder in it named "com.glu.contractkiller2"  Copy the folder

Again, go to : sdCard >> Android >> obb >> Paste the game data folder here
Your items should look like the screenshot below

And we are done!

Go to your Menu, and Launch the Game, it will Load and play successfully
To get more HD Games visit Android Mob

CONCLUSION:

Large Android games can install, depending on your device-type, the game file extension (and) or website from which you downloaded the game from. Some Android Games come in Full, zipped in one folder, others come in parts, which you'll have to download each part and merge them into one folder, then you'll still have to come here and follow the steps to Install and Play it.

Did the steps above work for you? Or you still go through problems installing any Game on your Android device, let us know by dropping a comment.
Peace!

FIX: BBM & other Android Apps to display in Portrait/Landscape mode on Tecno Q1

The excitement which came from BBM coming to Android (running Android OS version 4 and up), went viral, about 7 million users signed up via mail to get the app on BBM.com website and later got over One million users running the app after just 7 hours of its release on the Google Play store website.
It was like a dream come true for so many android users since they could now join the world of BBM and chat with both Blackberry and Android smartphone users alike.
Now, to the main purpose of this post, many Android phones, like mine which is built on Landscape type of screen were having issues with the view of the BBM App, it was bent and frustrating, BBM is not the only App behaving this way on Android phone screen built with Landscape view, other amazing apps having same problem include:

• Instagram,
• WeChat,
• Skype, etc

Games like Temple Run and Subway Surfers were affected too.

So if your BBM or any other app is built to display on portrait mode, here is a QUICK FIX,
you'll need to Rotate and lock the rotated display on Landscape mode, just so that you won't have to keep bending your phone or tilt your head to understand what your phone is showing.
There are many apps that have been created to do this but the below are what I recommend, from my own experience.

• Go to Google Play And Get Rotation Locker
  

Install and use it to Rotate your BBM app or any other apps.
Once the app is activated, it should correct your BBM to be displayed like the screenshot of my own below.

Since some Android phones like Tecno Q1 are built in Landscape mode screens, after rotating an an App or Game that is originally meant to run on Portrait mode, this might affect the view, hence making some of the features, objects or tools hide away from the main screen, a good example of this is what happens when I use the app on Instagram, or on Games like Temple Run and Subway surf.

Aside the games, this Rotate app is meant to help your phone support display on any mode for easy use apps which are mainly Messengers, or Utility apps.

Hope the post was helpful. Don't forget to share. #Enjoy

Tips to ByPass/Exceed 100MB Daily Bandwidth Limit on PD-Proxy with MTN BIS

PD-proxy with MTN BIS (Blackberry) subscription had been a lasting quality solution for Unlimited browsing and Downloads in my country.
There had been so many reviews that speak well of the PD Proxy VPN app and its quality service.
Just incase you're hearing of  for the first time, PD-Proxy is a tunneling software that can secure your internet connection by encrypting all your connections to the internet.
You can use it to access blocked websites, it uses industry–standard Virtual Private Networking (VPN) technology to create a secure tunnel between your laptop and the PD-Proxy servers.

PD-Proxy is an awesome tunnelling software, as we don't only use it for Privacy, but can also use it to surf the web with our various Blackberry subscriptions, in my country it could be working Unlimitedly with networks like MTN and Etisalat.

Well that's the intro, now let's get down to main purpose of this post.
After Signing up for a new Account on the PD-Proxy site, as we know, we are given 100MB on our Trail Accounts for Just One Day, once you exhaust your 100MB, you get a Pop-up message saying
"100MB daily Bandwidth Limit reached, pls Upgrade to Premium Account"
there's nothing you can at this point, till the next day PD Proxy reloads all trial accounts with 100MB again.
Meanwhile, heavy downloaders like me and you know 100MB is way too small for our Internet activities, so I've come up with few tips on How I Exceeded this Limit of 100MB per day, which you can try too, it works but NOT ALL THE TIME.

Requirements:
To get PD Proxy working on your PC, Get PD Proxy on your PC from the Official website, Subscribe to any MTN BIS plan, you pick any of the following Activation codes with their Prices:

•  MTN Blackberry BIS Complete Daily – N100 Activation Code.
  Text BBCDAY to 21600
• MTN Blackberry BIS Complete Weekly, – N500 Activation Code.
  Text BBCWEEK to 21600
• MTN BlackBerry Complete Monthly, 30 days – N1,000
  Text BBC to 21600

N.B: these SMS activation codes only work for MTN Nigeria.

Exceeding 100MB Daily Bandwidth Limit on PD-Proxy

Tip 1: Get a PD-Proxy Voucher :

Going Premium sets you Free and Unlimited
This is the first thing I'd recommend for you, coz you can't force it to work again once you've used up your 100MB in a day, that's headache and waste of time, there are various Places to buy Voucher for a Premium Account.
You can check out the PD proxy Resellers Page for List of Authorized sellers and how you can Contact and pay them for your Premium accounts.
At least after buying a voucher, you are rest assured of yourself there won't be any issues for a service you paid for.

Tip 2: Performing some Unusual activities

Restarting all Connections
Some websites boast of tricks they use for Bypassing the 100MB Limit by doing some changes in the File host/log of the Tunneling App, I haven't tried this before, but from my observations, these tricks don't work right now, well maybe they used to.

Here's How I Exceed Mine: This sure had worked for me a couple of times, Restart your connection when you notice Data Received is getting to 80MB (be sure to always monitor your PD Proxy dashboard so you can know how much data you consume from there), once you notice it's climbing up to 80MB, disconnect it, Close all connections too from your Modem, wait up to 10 minutes then reconnect everything again, this would automatically tell PD proxy that you are login in to your Account for the first time that day, hence they'll Reload it with 100MB for you over again.
This trick don't work all time especially when you hurriedly reconnect, so to increase chances, be patient, give it some time, or you may even Restart your PC.

Tip 3: At pick, Never close Or Interrupt the Connection

This one sure works well, I use it to bypass the 100MB Limit quite alot,
For Full Proof here's mine, and yes, I'm using a Free (Trial) account.

To exceed the 100mb with this method, When you notice you are reaching the limit, perhaps you have used up to 90MB, well, don't bother disconnecting anymore as we do in Tip 2, just continue Surfing the web, start especially Downloading and Streaming videos, it will help you exceed the Limit.

NOTE: You'll surely need a stable High speed data connection from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to do this.
Did we find this post helpful in some way? if you have Questions or something to say about PD proxy or similar VPN app, your comments are welcome.

How To Download & Install 2go for Android from Google Play

Since the launch of the New 2go for Android, with it's smart looking design and features, 2go users in Nigerian and few other countries across Africa had been finding it quite difficult to Download and Install the amazing Chat application.
I also went through this same challenge, I would visit Google Play, Search for 2go, when downloading the file (about 2.25MB), it gets to 600kb or 700kb and shows me "package file is invalid"


In many cases, we are advised when Installing an App that gives error such as: "Package file is invalid"

The Fix is:

Go to settings > Applications.

Open all applications/manage applications.

Move to Google Play Store.

Then clear data and clear the cache 

Well, if that still did't help, here's How I installed 2go App on my Android.

• Go to Google Play,
• Install HideMan VPN, Do not open yet
• Close your Google Play app if it's still running

Now Launch the HideMan VPN app and Connect
After some seconds, when Connected, it will change your Country and I.P



Now head back to Google Play, Search for 2go, and Download again, this time it won't give you any more errors.

NOTE For Installing INSTAGRAM APP on Your Android

This same method applies if you are having difficulties installing Instagram, I used HideMan VPN to install Instagram on my droid, but Do not use HideMan VPN to Register on Instagram for the first time on your Android, when I did, my Account got Suspended immediately.
After Installing Instagram, be sure you disconnect HideMan VPN before going back to launch the Instagram.

I really don't understand why some Applications bring errors or don't download when we use our original country I.P on Google Play, but I'm pretty sure, the problem will be solved once you're Connected through some VPN application.

Enjoy!

How To Hard Reset Tecno Q1 and Other Android 4.0.x Phones

Finally, I decided to move to the top trending smartphone OS in the world right now, Android, so I got an Android smartphone for the first time, a Tecno Q1 running Android 4.0, Ice-cream Sandwich.
Everything about the phone had been cool with me, except the battery performance which I would best describe as "not very reliable".
Any ways, if you own same Tecno Q1 just like me, or some similar Android 4 smartphone, after some time, issues are likely to come up, because

• Your Cache would be increasing, consuming space in the phone
• Your Android Phone may be unable to boot up
• or you could be seeing some strange Apps, and Files which are irrelevant and stubborn to Uninstall.

The Best and Safest way solution to this is to perform a factory reset on your Android phone (recovery mode), this will wipe everything and restore your device to its factory state.
This method works on many Android 4.0 phones, but I specifically used the below method on my Tecno Q1 Android 4 phone and it was reset perfectly.

There are Two method used in Hard Reset, depending on the problem the phone has.

• Hard reset method 1: used When your phone is Unable to boot up
• Hard reset method 2: used When the phone can boot up.

NOTE: Hard reset would wipe off all your Data, including all Google Authenticator credentials, so Make sure you do a Back up of all your Important files/folders before performing the Hard Reset.

Hard Reset method 1:

So if the phone wouldn't boot up, Let's Get it Fixed!

1. Hold your Volume Up + Power Button, you're gonna get something like the screenshot below.

After this display on my Tecno Q1, I got confused, all buttons used on other Android phones to bring out the Recovery menu didn't work. Till I realised it's the Home key I had to use.

2. Tap your Home button to bring the "Recovery mode Menu"

Use the Volume Up and Down key to scroll up and down,
3. Scroll down and Select wipe data / factory reset
To select this, Again, Tap your Home button


Hard Reset is now Activated, Select - Yes erase all user data with the volume buttons and tap the Home button.

It would take few seconds to wipe off all the Data, Reboot the phone, and bring it back to it's Factory state.

Hard reset method 2:

If the phone is able to boot on and operate, You can do a Hard Reset right from your Screen
Goto Settings >> Backup & Reset >> Scroll down to Factory Data reset and Confirm this by Clicking "RESET PHONE"

Hope this solved some issues you might be facing with your Tecno Q1 or other Android 4.0 smartphone.

Create Your Own Custom E-Mail for Your Website, Fast, Easy & Free!

For more than a year, I ignored the use of a custom e-mail address and kept using Hotmail as my contact address, as time went on I started to realise there were even more benefits with owning my own Custom mail address.
If you have a custom domain/website, as a blogger, a webmaster, consultant etc, you can improve the way clients contact you by setting up your own customised mail address.
Domain registrars or hosts offer this service, but not all Registrars give it to you for Free, meanwhile in this post I will show us the Latest method on how we can get it Set up, Free, Easy and Very Fast.

 REQUIREMENTS

• A working website domain
• A Google Account

1. Now Go HERE, click on Get Started and Fill in the form including A primary email address to Start using Google and administrating the custom mail service.

After signing up, check the mail you used in signing up, you get a link back to where you now Sign in again with your Custom Domain address, choose E-mail, and Hit GO.

You can add more users from your panel if you want.

Now your account is set, next thing is You'll still need to

2. Verify that you own the domain,

Depending on your domain registrar, this will require you to input some records in your MX and CNAME in the DNS, when configuring this I used NameCheap Free DNS which gave me Total Control of my domain, since my Domain Registrar didn't offer me DNS Management.

3. To activate your custom mail, 

I believe you've opened your DNS Management Control panel now, so all you need do is enter the following MX records to point your domain to Google mail servers:

10 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
20 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
20 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
30 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
30 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM

NameCheap even made it all easier by automatically adding Google Apps Email tool,
Simply scroll down to MAIL SETTINGS >>  
click on  "User (Mail Server's Host Name Required)"
and there! you'll find it, Mark the  Google Apps Email.
Hostname should be filled with the "@" signs then fill in MAILSERVER HOST NAME with the above Google mail servers I provided us above.
Scroll down and Click SAVE.


Hope this helped you to move on to something more professional.
Regards.
