The Obb

What is an Obb?

Guys, have you heard of the term 'Obb'? What is it? What is its relation with apps and games in Android? Is it really necessary?

Here's the answer,
                     Obb is the short name for Opaque Binary Blob. They are a sizeable piece of data, which looks like it doesn't really contain anything important. But, it is the most important part of large sized games or apps. If you have any large sized games, then it would surely have one obb file. If you delete it, then the game would disrespect you. If you then open the game, it will ask you to download the obb again - which probably would be 500MB to 1GB (Sorry guys for being out of the topic).

Obb is made so that the Game or App could be easily moved to the device's external SD card. We cannot share Obb file through apps which share 'Apps' ( like Xender ). They would only share the APK File of that app, it would not contain the obb file. You should send it separately. Games which would have an overall size of 100+MB would contain an obb file. If you have the knowledge, you can edit the whole game using this obb file. Well, we will soon post an article regarding the topic; How to edit an app or game.

Obb could be placed on both your internal storage and external storage depending on your storage space left. If it is in your internal storage, then the location would be exactly like this - Android > Obb. If it is in your external storage then the location would be like the same. There would be a folder named Obb in your device's respective storage destination. In that folder there will be an another folder named Obb, which would contain every game's obb files.

You don't need root or busybox and other stuff, only a custom recovery. Please leave a feedback.   PC version: If you have not a custom recovery you can use this tool.

Google Allo Say Allo to the new messaging app from Google. Google has introduced a new chatting app, Allo. Google describes this app as - " A smart messaging app that helps you say more and do more ". I have been using this for a while and this app does really do all as other messaging apps does. It's just completely fine , but requires a little bit more of work. One of the most exciting feature of Allo is that it comes with the Google's newer and smarter Assistant allowing us to get information or any kind of help, faster. We will also get smarter replies, which are recommended words or phrases. Even when we are chatting with our buddies we can get help from Google Assistant by adding - @google - before asking any questions. Allo has a simple user interface. you can send messages to your contacts by clicking on the blue message icon. It has an automated  feature of showing the people in your contacts who uses Allo. It also has an learning character.

We’ve seen on repeated occasions over the past few years that Android is vulnerable to diffrent threats and millions of users have been affected with these vulnerabilites. Even the Playstore is not safe for its users.  Most of these vulnerabilities come via the app store, Google Play, and with the news in August 2016 that over 100 apps are carrying the same Trojan horse payload, it’s time to take a look at how you can avoid accidentally downloading such malware to your own android. Trojans offers a hidden and inconspicuous avenue for hackers to gain access to your data, system, or both. Typically they offer some kind of backdoor to everything.  A total of 104 apps were affected,  and the Trojan  have been downloaded by at least 3.2 million users. Once installed, 30 unique pieces  of identifiable data are collected by the Trojan — including your device IMEI and other details — which are then forwarded to a server that’s under the control of the attacker. If you were victim
