and what are the application required to do this task.

What is Bootable pendrive?

A bootable pendrive acts as a replacement of previously used CD-ROM which can be used to install various operating systems on a computer system at the time the computer has loaded its BIOS settings. Also USB boot is the process of using a USB storage device to boot or start a computer’s operating system. It enables computer hardware to use a USB storage stick to get all essential system booting information and files rather than the standard/native hard disk or the CD drive. A common use of a bootable USB flash drive is to use it to boot into Windows. To determine if a computer is capable of booting to a USB device, access the computer's BIOS and check the bootable device list. If a USB device is listed, set the USB Flash Disk to be the first boot device.

Why USB not DVD?

These days installation of an operating system has been changed completely. Previously CD’s and DVD’s were used for installation of any operating system. There are many other ways to install an operating system in a computer like, by making a bootable USB FLASH DRIVE or even by flashing your sd card and connect it via card reader.
The difference between DVD and USB FLASH DRIVE installation varies with speed. Bootable USB drive will consume bit lesser time to install any operating system when compared to DVD installation. Also, this will be helpful for most of the people who are regularly engaged in installing operating systems because carrying a DVD.

SDK(Software Development Kit) provides a selection of tools required to build Android apps or to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible. Whether you end up creating an app with Java, Kotlin or C#, you need the SDK to get it to run on an Android device and access unique features of the OS. You’ll also be able to use an emulator to test apps you’ve built, monitor your device, and do a host of other things. These days, the Android SDK also comes bundled with Android Studio, the integrated development environment where the work gets done and many of the tools are now best accessed or managed. You can download the SDK independently however if that is your preference.

MediaTek MT6737 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 430

 MediaTek MT6737 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 430

 Mediatek MT6737

The MediaTek MT6737 is a 64-bit ARM-based SoC announced in 2016 primarily designed for smartphones (mainly Android devices). It is manufactured in a 28 nm process and consists of four CPU cores based on the 64-bit Cortex-A53 architecture clocked at up to 1.35 GHz (MT6737T up to 1.5 GHz). The GPU is an ARM Mali-720 MP2. It integrates a Cat.4 LTE modem with CDMA200 as well as a video de- and encoder for 1080p30 videos (H.264 and H.265).

Processor Type

The Cortex-A53 is the successor to the popular Cortex-A7 design. In addition to the jump from 32-bit to 64-bit architecture (ARMv8 ISA) to address more than 4 GB of memory, the new design offers better branch prediction and higher performance-to-power ratio that rivals the Cortex-A9. The four cores of the MT6737 are clocked at up to 1.35 GHz and are roughly on par with the Snapdragon 410 (4x Cortex-A53 at 1.2 to 1.4 GHz). The processor is fit for common tasks like browsing and running light applications.

Gaming (graphics)

The MT6737 chip is integrated with the Mali-T720 GPU which has a frequency of 550-650 MHz. The maximum display resolution that it can support is 1280×720. This Graphics Processor isn’t powerful enough to compete with the likes of Adreno 505, Adreno 506 and the other majority of Qualcomm GPUs. Running basic Android games will not result in any lags or FPS drops but high-end games can suffer from occasional frame drops. Also, being manufactured using the 28nm Fabrication Process, long gaming sessions could result in overheating. If you love gaming on your phone, this SOC is not for you.

General Performance

For basic phone usage like web browsing, calling, multitasking and using Social Media apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, this processor is sufficient. Even though you would get decent performance, there could be occasional lags on heavy usage. The performance also depends on the phone’s software and that includes the User Interface. Stock Android will give better performance while heavily skinned UIs may not perform that great. If we go by the specs, it has a quad-core configuration of Cortex-A53 CPUs at a very low frequency. For better performance, I will recommend Snapdragon 435 instead.

                      Snapdragon 430

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 (SD430) is a lower mainstream SoC for (Android based) smartphones and tablets. Contrary to the Snapdragon 630, it is still manufactured in a 28-nm process and also consists of an octa-core CPU part with ARM Cortex-A53 cores. However, they are only clocked at up to 1.4 GHz. The integrated X6 LTE modem supports Cat. 4 with maximum transfer rates of 150 Mbps (downstream) and 75 Mbps (upstream). The SoC also includes an Adreno 505 GPU with support for Vulkan and OpenGL ES 3.1. WiFi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.1 are supported as well. The memory controller supports LPDDR3 clocked at 800 MHz (so probably dual-channel DDRL-1600). 

Moving on to graphics, it has the Qualcomm’s Adreno 505 Graphics Processor running at a frequency of 450 MHz. This GPU can support a maximum screen resolution of 1080p (Full HD). It can also playback 1080p videos with ease. However, in gaming, it gives better results with a 720p (HD) display. Moving on to the Memory, it has LPDDR3 RAM at a clock frequency of 800 MHz. This SOC only has a Single Memory Channel.

Advantage

Even in the low-budget segment, Qualcomm is providing premium features such as Quick Charge 3.0, 2x Image Sensor Processor, NFC Support, and the X6 LTE Modem that can give speeds up to 300 Mbps. However, you should note that features like Fast Charging and NFC may or may not be enabled by your smartphones’ OEM.

Gaming (graphics)

The Adreno 505 GPU is clocked at 450 MHz and is capable of running almost every game at 720p without any issues. However, with a 1080p display, you will get a lower frame rate and you could experience occasional frame drops. Being made on the 28nm Fabrication Technology, the smartphone could heat with heavy gaming. This is one of the reasons why I always a recommend 14nm Processor like Snapdragon 625 for gaming. Nevertheless, the Snapdragon 430 is a decent chipset for gaming.

General Performance

In daily usage and multi-tasking, you will not face any lags. Running Social Media Apps, Browsing, Audio & Music Playback, and Chatting experience will be good. The Cortex-A53 Cores @ 1.4 GHz are certainly capable of all these stuff with ease. However, with heavy usage on a heavily skinned OS/UI, you could face occasional lags. The user experience will also depend on the phone and the User Interface.

How to boot in safe mode

How to boot in safe mode

'When the problem arises in your pc due any issues.Then the best method of dealing with 

your problem is to boot the window in "safe mode".

What is safe mode in window?

Safe mode is a diagnostic mode of a computer operating system (OS). In Windows, safe mode only allows essential system programs and services to start up at boot. Safe mode is intended to help fix most, if not all problems within an operating system. It is also widely used for removing rogue security software.

Safe Mode starts your PC with a minimal set of drivers and services. No third-party software or drivers get loaded, and even the built-in Windows stuff is limited to just what’s necessary. Safe Mode is a great way to remove problem-causing software—like malware—without that software getting in the way. It also provides an environment where you may find it easier to roll back drivers, and use certain troubleshooting tools

So now the question is how to boot it in safe mode? The steps is very simple just follow

the mentioned steps:-

For window 7 ,8, and 10 users.

1. Restart your PC .
2. And press F8 buttom 3 to 4 Times when the window restarted (Keep in mind that window should not boot).
3. Now the List of Safe mode will appear on the screen.
   
4. select any of the listed mode as per your requirements.
5. done!

Android Unknown feature

Android Accessibility feature

The Android system, has a number of accessibility options built in for those hard of hearing, suffering from a vision impairment or any other number of other conditions that might make the standard operation of your Android difficult. These are great features to be sure, but you don't need to be as blind as me to take advantage of them. 

Here's Eight accessibility settings you should be using.

1.Magnification gestures- 

You know how we've shown you cool one-handed Google Maps gestures in the past, like for zooming in and out? Well, you can do the same thing system wide with the magnification gestures accessibility option. If you enable the option you can triple tap to zoom in and triple tap to zoom out again. If you triple tap and hold, you can temporarily magnify your screen and pan around, then just release to go back to normal. It's a super useful feature once you start using it.

2.Text-to-Speech- 

Probably the most well known of all accessibility features, you may have even used this already. All you need to do is to have the Google Text-to-Speech engine enabled and then download the language pack you want.

I use Text-to-Speech as a simple way to finally get through all the content I save to Pocket for later reading. Which I never get around to. So I simply hit the menu button in an article I've saved to Pocket and let Google read the article to me while I prepare dinner.

3.Invert colors- 

If you have a Samsung or any other phone and don't really like the dark background vibe, you can simply go into the accessibility settings and check the box next to  invert Colors.You will now have a white themed TouchWiz interface. 

The same thing works on the LG G3 too, where it is called Invert Colors, but as you can see in the topmost image, you might get some pretty whacky color combinations. Likewise, both Samsung and LG's accessibility options allow you to adjust screen and content colors for your particular visual needs.

4.TalkBack- 

TalkBack is awesome, especially if your eyesight is as bad as mine or you've lost your glasses. You can even use this if your screen has issues, as long as your touchscreen is still responsive. Once you've enabled the option, whatever you tap, press or activate will be spoken aloud to you. Explore by Touch is the same thing under a different name. The additional settings for TalkBack are enormous and definitely worth checking out further. 

5.Interaction control- 

Interaction control appears on Samsung devices either through the accessibility menu or by pressing Home and the Volume Down buttons. It lets you turn your motion gestures and screen timeout settings on or off, but the coolest part of it is that you can block off specific areas of the screen from responding to touch input, like the status bar or notification shade.

6.Captions-

Enables the system wide closed caption system for videos. Having been introduced in KitKat it's still possible some users haven't had chance to try it out yet. It allows videos to display captions based on the parameters decided upon here, and you can change the text size and color within set parameters.

7.Touch and Hold Delays-

For those with dexterity issues, how long you need to press and hold to complete actions could be an issue. This allows you to alter the duration required to three different settings.

8.Color Correction-

We touched on this when the first L Preview dropped, though for whatever reason Google has since reduced the number of options from 6 to 3. In any case, there are options to change the display mode based on different types of color blindness: Deuteranomaly (red-green), Protanaomaly (red-green) and Tritanomaly (blue-yellow).
