Why I don’t install custom ROMs anymore!

     
    I own a Google nexus 5 since October 2014 and am a proud user. Ever since I bought it within couple of weeks I rooted that beast and installed a cyanogenMod which I was dying to try. As I was fed up using a Xperia x10 mini those days. And with nexus devices it becomes very easy to just root, install twrp recovery and custom rom. I mean you have got apps that can do stuff right for you without a PC. 

Why I Don't root and install custom recovery?



Every time whenever I come back to Stock ROM, I always have root access and that is a must as I have my life working on rooted apps like xposed installer, wifiKill, Es file explorer and many more. With root access and stock ROMs stability it’s a comfort zone for me. But whenever if get a notification for a security update and install, it will not apply the update. Why? Because you have now modified the boot img of the phone and you can only apply an update when you have stock recovery with no root access.

Why I don't install custom ROMs?



I know every tech geek loves flashing ROMs every now and then whenever a new custom ROM releases or builds for it, but you do have to backup all your stuff on your cloud or PC to play everything safe. Particularly I don’t care about my data storage, I just wipe the whole storage without any consent as i don’t own any type of data that is necessary. All the apps can be downloaded again from the play store but takes time over here from my 1MBPS network connection. These are just minor problems of what I’m facing, mainly what bugs is that uneven/random reboot that takes place whenever you heavy multi-task or something goes wrong. Custom ROMs are highly unstable and you should only try when you don’t have any option or you just get bored from the stock ROM which has limited customizations using for long time.


When Google started releasing security updates it just bugged me about those updates every month and I used to be proud like I’m only few percentage of those who are getting updates while other OEM aren’t even getting Marshmallow support at times. I mean now there are 4% people out of the total users.
I know this is probably this was year of the nexus 5 for android upgrades and will not receive any of those from now onwards. Maybe I think that will be the time to set go all those custom ROM things again but for now I am enjoying the last official days from Google updates for the Google Nexus 5.

I still love my time with the nexus 5 as it gets the job done and has the latest version of android with the security updates. This phone lives up to my expectations and does play games and handles pretty good. Already July images are out yesterday and I am probably thinking of flashing them as it would wipe the phone and would run the phone like smooth as I haven’t wiped it since over 7 months I suppose. But I am anything just gonna wait for OTA updates as I am done goofing off with the phone.



 I know everybody is going to say that bro custom ROM is more stable and does bring more customizations, but what I have found over time that there is nothing as stable as that of stock ROM. This blog post wasn’t written to offend someone so calm down. Let me know your thoughts regarding this topic.

Blogging is just a thing for me by which I can store all the tutorials for myself and for my friends who ask for it, so I need not require to explain every time whoever asks, i’ll just  share the tutorial.

jpg to pdf


     Today, my bother came from office and asked for help regarding conversion of images into PDF, I mean I did this long time ago but did not recall how I am supposed to do now, so I bumped into this method which I’m going to share right now! Just took 3-5 mins to convert everything. There’s nothing need to worry, sit back and relax.


     I researched and found about an online conversion tool, and tried with sample images from my desktop and it worked amazingly. So for documents, it required to look clean and it was already night time and shadow was coming in between images. For clear and smooth transition of images what we did was installed CamScanner from play store which is a free application, you can download from here.


     So we scanned all the images (5 pages to be precise) and then in CamScanner application you also have an option to create a PDF without even going through all this procedure but the only problem with this was it wasn’t serially arranged in the PDF format so we just copied the images to my laptop and uploaded to this conversion page and then download.


Requirements



  • Open convert jpg to PDF, any web browser of your choice should work for this method.
  • Now you can also customize, everything you want from margins to image size, check all the options and feel free to try all of those.
  • Click on select jpg files and now serially add them in ascending order if you want, otherwise anything will do.
  • Then click on convert PDF, after that you’ll be able to download.

How to convert jpg to PDF
note- images are compressed in order to reduce load times, and run the site faster.



     Suppose you are at work and all you have is a Smartphone and you have to mail the documents to someone, you can scan all your images with CamScanner and just convert and send it to anyone who wants the documents in pdf format.


     If you have a scanner you can just scan all your documents, by this you don’t have keep clicking images from your Smartphone every time and then just upload all the images to that conversion page and then download the PDF and send to anyone you’d wish to. Just to save money, we can click images from Smartphone and do this instead, nowadays you’re Smartphone can do things which were supposed to be doing on a PC.


     So here we go this was simple yet effective tutorial which will always come in handy at times, make sure you share with those who want.
