Get the new google allo on your Android

 You might have used Google Allo and its Google Assistant. Recently, the company launched Pixel smartphones with Google Assistant. By tweaking some lines of code in the build.prop file on your rooted Android Nougat phone, you can get the new assistant on your devices.

People got to know about Google Assistant when the company unveiled its Allo messaging application. Few weeks later, at its hardware launch event in October, Google showed off its Pixel smartphones. Google is marketing the deeply integrated Google Assistant as the major selling point.

Google has hinted that its new assistant will be Pixel-exclusive. However, just by editing a few lines of code in a single config file, you can get the Google Assistant up and running on your Android device.

Before telling you more about the process, let me tell you that you should be having Android Nougat installed and you need root access.

Important: Another thing, before trying to get Google Assistant working on your device, make sure that you know what you’re doing. Backup your data as any small mistake can brick your device. So, proceed at your own risk.

Apart from root access and Android Nougat, you’ll need a root file explorer, flashable .zip files, unlocked bootloader, and custom recovery or Fastboot.

The supported list of the phones can be found here onXDA and the complete installation guide is available onLifehacker.

The tutorial describes a manual way to edit theBuild.prop file under Root/System. You need to add or replace these lines in the file:

1

2

ro.product.model=Pixel XL

ro.opa.eligible_device=true

The next step involves saving the file and rebooting the phone. After clearing the data and cache from Google App, it should reload with Assistant built-in, which fires up when you long press the home button.

While some users are able to get this running on their rooted Android Nougat devices, others are facing issues. So, if you hate such risky adventures, you should avoid trying this on your device. In that case, you should probably try Google Allo.

What is DNS

D NS stands for Domain Name System is used to as the medium to translate domain names to their respective IP addresses when a client initiates a request query. DNS stores the database of all the domain names and their IP addresses which are registered on the network. Most of us are quite familiar with the term DNS or Domain Name System.

Historical Notes The origins of DNS date back to the time of the ARPANET  when there were only a few computers to get an entry in the database. A HOSTS.TXT file was maintained by Stanford Research Institute, which constituted the data of all the machines, and was copied by all the host machines to remain updated. Jon Postel from the Information Sciences Institute requested Pau...

How tor works

 Using the publicly available data, data visualization software firm Uncharted has prepared TorFlow — a map for visualizing how TOR’s data looks as it flows all across the world. It shows TOR network’s node and data movements based on the IP addresses of relays bouncing around the connections of users to avoid spying. TOR is the world’s most widely used tool for anonymity purposes . It has grown into a powerful network that’s spread all over the world. Surprisingly, the TOR project is transparent about the location of the TOR nodes and thousands of machines that power the network. This non-profit organization frequently published an updated list about the bandwidth and location of the computers and data centers spread all across the world. Using the same public data,  TorFlow  maps the TOR network’s nodes and data flow all around the world. This data movement is measured based on the IP addresses and bandwidth of the relay computers bouncing around the...
