Free - Play Grand Theft Auto San Andreas on Android

These are the steps to download the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas APK to my rooted Samsung Galaxy tablet 2 - 8 GB - Kit Kat - 16 GB external SD card.

First download, install, but DO NOT update the Muzhiwan Market Place app.

Open the Muzhiwan app, tab to Big Games, scroll for Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and download the 2GB GPK file

Move the Grand Theft Auto GPK file to your 16 GB external SD card

Download Google Play's Folder Mount.

Open the FolderMount app and pair the Muzhiwan app, so that Muzhiwan data will be stored on the external SD card

Now click on the downloaded Grand Theft Auto San Andreas GPK file | Open as Zip | Use Muzhiwan | Then accept Install.

Once installed (Must have at least 3 GB available on internal SD card), use Folder Mount app to pair Grand Theft Auto APK, which moves the Data and OBB files to your external SD card.

In summary, you will essentially download the GPK through Muzhiwan, move the GPK to the SD card and then install from the external SD card. The last step frees up the internal SD card by mounting Grand Theft Auto to the external SD card. Enjoy.

After playing Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, why don't you keep track of your real life clique with the Widespread Augmented Reality heads up display

Migrating from Eclipse to Android Studio

I have created new projects in Android Studio, but have yet to migrate an Eclipse app project to Android Studio. This documents what I did to get a clean build after importing the project from Eclipse following these instructions.

First I made sure that my Eclipse project ran and debugged successfully to my Galaxy Tab 2.

Then I moved the project to a separate Workspace folder

Firing up Android Studio, I imported the Eclipse project from the duplicate folder

Of course there were tons of errors

Mostly due to invalid imports and their methods in the source code.

For example: import org.apache.http.client.*

My eclipse project used imported external Jars

So I went outside Android Studio into Windows file manager or explorer and created a "libs" folder inside the "app" directory.

I copied my external Jars to the "libs" folder and then edited the build.gradle file like so:

dependencies {

compile files ('libs/acra-4.2.3.jar')

compile files ('libs/httpmime-4.1.1.jar')

}

Other errors involved encoding

So I also added the following to the build.gradle file

compileOptions {

encoding "UTF-8"

sourceComaptibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7

targetComaptibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7

}

Now the errors disappeared.

However, I also did a bunch of other fiddling around, so I don't know what actually fixed the errors.

Just so you know.

Now the fun begins with a Run Debug to the actual Galaxy Tablet, so stay tuned.

By the way, the Eclipse project was no slouch. This is the production app on Google Play: WAR.

Blue Screen of Death -BSOD

Problem:

Compaq Presario CQ60 slow in starting and then shuts down with the BSOD.

Resolution:

1. Restart into Safe Mode with pf8 key depressed.

2. Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Event Viewer

3. The Windows system event log showed that there was a bug at start up.

It looked like some low level running service or program was doing something it should not be doing.

4. Control Panel | Programs and Features | Sort programs by install date | Uninstall recently added programs until

the BSOD goes away.

5. Restarted in normal mode and saw that Norton 360 was trying to install itself right before the next

BSOD.

6. Restart in safe mode and download the

Norton uninstaller tool.

Run the Norton uninstaller tool.

7. Run msconfig to limit the start up of non-essential, non-Microsoft programs.

8. Run CCleaner and erase Windows event logs, as well as, junk.

9. Run Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool.

10. Encourage the use of a password on the main user account.

11. Do not install an AntiVirus. Do not believe the hype.

12. If you must install an AntiVirus, then go with

Microsoft Security Essentials.
