Nordic Vikings’ First Android App!!

YEY!! We finally completed our first application for the Android system.

After a lot of teaching we finally manage to compile the code and had it released on the Android Market / Google Play Store.

We created two versions. One that is free and supported by advertisements. And another one that is supported by payment. This way we can offer it to you for free, and also offer it to you for the smallest price available on the Google Market.

When you choose to go for the paid donation version, we have removed all the annoying advertisements that the Free version have.

Feel free to have a go on the version of your choice by either clicking the , or use your smart phones QR scanner to scan the version of your choice.

Either way which one you choose, we thank you alot!

How to solve slow Facebook app after upgrading (Android)

Have you upgraded to the new facebook application, but regret doing it because it runs really really slow? This is due to lack of phone resources, and the solution is easy.

Lets downgrade..

 

This solution will put the facebook app back to it’s previous state. Just follow these simple steps and you back to the way it was before you upgraded.

  1. Uninstall the current facebook application that you have installed on your smart phone.
  2. Start your QR code scanner
  3. Scan the code  below, and install the application.

 

A tip should your phone reject the installation is to go into the phones application settings and turn on “Allow Unknown sources”. This allows you to install applications outside of the Android Market/Play Store.

Start your Android phone as an OS on your computer

How to start your android phone’s operating system on your computer with a nice graphical touch? It’s very easy and we’ll tell you how!

 AirDroid Logo

The Preparations

The first thing you need to do is to head over to the android market and download the free application called “AirDroid”. This application will stream and beautify what you would normally see on your android phone. Once installed, start it and swipe to the right side. There you will find the settings. To prevent other to interfere with your session, we suggests that you set the password control to “ON” and set a personal password. The next you should do (this might only be handy for advanced users) is to set a custom port. This will prevent the session to get in conflict with for instance Torrents, or other applications roaming around on the network that requires specific ports.

And this is just about it.. You should now be ready to start.

What’s Next..??

Just turn on your phones WIFI and wait for the signal bars in the application to turn green. Once they are green you should see a “Start” button appear. Hit it..!

Now, walk over to your computer and open a web browser. Type in your android phone’s IP address and port and the login screen should appear. What you should write in the web browser’s address field is shown on the AirDroid application after pressing theSettings © Nordic Vikings.net “Start” button. The address should look something like: “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:<Port number>”. In our place the this is how it looks: “http://192.168.10.170:8888″. Just remember that this is based on the network router settings and the pre-set port number.

When you now see the login portal we suggest that you hit the F11 button on your keyboard. This will put the web browser in a full screen view. Now you may log on.

 

Which features do I have?

Once inside, you may:

  • open text messages
  • send and receive SMS
  • see/edit the call log
  • browse or edit the phone book
  • install/uninstall apps
  • see the phones status like CPU/RAM/Battery/disk space
  • browse the SD card using a file explorer
  • download/upload from the SD card
  • Kill running apps
  • And much more…

Things that we are not able to do, is to start applications, and call other people using a headset or like other telephone applications like Skype. But hopefully this will come in later versions as this is a growing project..

Nordic Vikings will follow this application and keep you updated as they roll out.
