Google map need improvement and feedback

I have been using Google maps during my drive around the Singapore

Even though Navigation is cater for Singapore
However, when you do a maps search
You sometime end up in places in other countries

For examples, Gulf way in Tuas area
Tuas is rather unique in Singapore
but not Gulf way
so even putting Singapore letter and dun works
and you know how many characters there are to spell Singapore

Nevertheless, I still everyday using it

and now there is a new program My Tracks
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.maps.mytracks&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5tYXBzLm15dHJhY2tzIl0.

Again sub program need feedback and improvement
as the distance recorded is in miles

My THL W1 screen cracked


Last night I was at punggol drive
I know there is a remote coffee shop some way

I was hungry and low spirit 
As I come out of car
maybe a car dash by
I was so careless and mindless

But at 8:08pm on 25 Jan 2013
I drop my mobile
My hp's protective cover came out and the screen drop face up
But the fact is when I pick it up
The screen was cracked diagonally acrossed

The voice of YS and Eric 
chanting "SN never take care of hp ..."

My heart also got a crack run diagonally acrossed

My THL W1 single core
is another hp that I liked after Nokia E72

I did not manage to re-sale it off

I thought of keeping it as permanent backup hp

Guess it is time to buy another hp

I finally brought a PC

It is a nettop or mini-PC

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nettop

I brought it at Sim Lim Square
Address      : #05-26
company name :mynextcom


when Den introduce me on nettop
we have lot of chat
when he said he was in Shanghai for ten years

I only complaint to him I need it for write CV
he end up with a price at $420

With that price I can get a second hand laptop
but it is a brand new PC with Intel i3 CPU

I still can re-used my keyboard and monitor etc

So I was being asked to go down to redraw money

It take him 1 hour plus to DIY the nettop

So it is also back in old days that 
I saw and assist him to 
build the hardware and 
install the software

Later I am more than satisfied with the performance 
of this new PC but wondering why
this trend of PC did not pick up (or being ignore)

Nettop seem to be less famous then
netbook etc

Learning from fundamental about CWM


What Is ClockworkMod Recovery And How To Use It On Android [Complete Guide]



http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-custom-recovery-to-an-android-phone-device/

it is more generic and broader covered than

Cleaning up SD and SD2

There is still many confusion about
Internal and External SD

The easiest way to view both is look at windows explorer
and set hp to connect as media device
so clear you can view THL
as
SD card and USB storage
From linux file manager under \mnt directory as
sdcard2 and sdcard respectively

This THL of calling is most proper
as object to reserve the name SD card to External removable SD card

Anyway, I have relocate some of the files from each app
expecially Titanium backup (under preference -> backup folder option
and move backup to USB storage

unless next time there is proper way of installation

In theory, I can install titanium and move whole app via app2SD
and then titanium would auto have point the backup to Ext SD card

This blog is just to remember that I have manage to clear the system app
inside the Internal USB storage to 1.61 Mb in size
on 30 Aug
The other program move are those whatsapp screenshot files

Later going to reduce further as clear up those baidu prog etc

Then maybe after tonight titanium backup then save as a update.zip for system app backup

The next day again

I have clear up for CWM backup and OnAndroid backup
both use the same but ultilize differently
Computer\ThL W1\USB storage\clockworkmod\backup

 I have clear up Mybackup setting to back to \mnt\sdcard2
so able clear up more at
Computer\ThL W1\SD Card\rerware\MyBackup

Final clean up USB storage to 1.73 G from 2G space

simple standalone traceless browser

I was not really impressed after I first execution of the private browser

http://www.browzar.com/download/termsandconditions_nb.php

BUT When I want to run the second time

I can not find in the program listing or even control panel program list

Then I realised every time to run this tiny browser I have to go back to download directory

Show in folderRemove from list


I run this browser every time as if like last time DOS program !

Now that is interesting

This will come in handy next time I run OS boot on thumb driver
and I can use it to connect Internet without any trace
