To increase the users base, Nokia has also improved their App-Store, and renamed the earlier Ovi store to Nokia App Store. Nokia App Store consists of a number of quality mobile apps. Though the apps can’t be compared with iPhone Store and Android Market, but still, they are trying to come into the competition.

In-spite of a number of features, Nokia Lumia 800 has given a few disappointments, like
1. No front camera for video-chatting even though the phone supports 3G.
2. Upto 730p HD Videos can only be played in Nokia Lumia 800, while other phones like Galaxy Note can play HD videos at even 1080p.
3. The price of Lumia 800 is also quite high, as compared to the other phones with similar features present in the market.

How to Install Devanagari, Hindi and Marathi Fonts (Unicode) in Android Mobile Phones and Tablets ?

Google Android OS has become a must have operating system in the Mobile Phones and Tablet PCs.

Read Devnagri, Hindi and Marathi (Unicode) Messages and Websites in Android Mobile Phones and Tablets ?
How to Install Devnagri, Hindi and Marathi Fonts (Unicode) in Android Mobile Phones and Tablets ?

Due to the high availability of services and apps on Android OS, many companies have come up with their Android Devices at a very less price (e.g. Akash Tablet – Starting from Rs.2500). But many of the devices doesn’t have the Devanagari Unicode fonts (e.g. Hindi and Marathi) installed on them, because of which we can’t read the Hindi/Marathi SMS (Text Messages) and Websites.

I have got a workaround for this. But to implement this workaround, you need to have a Rooted Android Device*, so that the respective files could be installed on it.

To simplify the process of Rooting the Android Device, you can install the Superuser or EasyRoot Application, and replace the existing font files with the attached ones.

Here are steps for the complete process,

1. Install ES File Explorer.

2. Now Open the ES File Explorer app > Settings > Tick on Root Explorer (to show the root files), also

3. Now Tick on Mount File System (to grant the read-write permissions to the file system root).

4. Thereafter Save the following files to your android device at location : /system/font/.
DroidHindi.ttf.
DroidSansFallback.ttf.

5. This process will ask you to replace the existing files, so please do this carefully.

6. Now Restart your Android Device, and try reading any Hindi/Marathi SMS and Website.

* Note : Rooting an Android Device may void your Device Manufacturer’s Warranty. Read OriginalTips.com Terms of Service.

Thought Ubuntu can run on low resources, but still it needs at least a 1Ghz processor and comparable RAM, which is not very less to fid in the mobile phone devices.

So for the Ubuntu lovers, MMMOOO has come-up with a mobile Ubuntu interface called MBuntu. Mbuntu is a flash based application launcher, which can run on all flavors of Symbian Operating System. From the ubuntu interface, users can access all core applications of their phone like Phone, Contacts, Bluetooth, Messages, Internet, Music, Videos, USB, Memory Card and all.

Additionally, MBuntu also shows the Wi-Fi status and battery level on the top just like an Android.

However one of the biggest drawback of this application is, we can’t add custom shortcuts to the home screen.

Mbuntu could be downloaded from Ovi store by paying an amount of £3.00. At the time of writing, Mbuntu is compatible with Nokia Eseries (e.g. E71, E63 etc.), Symbian^1 (S60v3) (e.g. N97, 5800, 5230 etc.), , Symbian^3 (e.g. N8) due to which, many phones display Mbuntu differently on their screen.

Note : Our users have reported that Mbuntu isn’t compatible with Nokia C7-00, which is a member of Symbian^3 family.
