Tweet

Recently, Apple announced its new operating system for the iPhone, iPod and the iPad. It is called the iOS 6. I did an article on that which you can find over here.

• iOS 6 : All you need to know

But the people developing Android apps are never behind iOS or any other mobile platform! There is already an application on the Google Play Store for select Android devices that allow you to enable the Do Not Disturb and Reply with Message features on your Android phone, which Apple is rolling out for iPhone late this year!



 

These Features can be made available on your Android Phone by simply installing a few apps that work differently and for different purposes. Like, there is an app that gives you both reply with SMS and Do not disturb feature while the other one gives you that but on a better scale and easier management.

I am going to discuss three apps today in this post that you can definitely use in order to get the latest iOS features on your Android device. Some of these features are already available for select Android Phones running the ICS firmware.

Auto SMS on Android :

Auto SMS is an application for android that will respond to incoming calls and text messages(SMS) while you are driving, in a meeting or even sleeping! You can choose the preset replies or make your own custom reply! This application is a must have for people who have to attend a lot of meetings or are persistent drivers. It is pretty easy to configure this application so I would not go in much detail for that! Here are just a few screenshots for you! Have a look at what the application is actually capable of doing.

Mr. Number on Android :

Mr. Number is again a powerful application for your Android smart phone and it is a full dialer replacement unlike the Auto SMS App. This app is capable of handling incoming calls and SMS's with the Do Not Disturb feature and auto reply to messages. You can configure this application to send all your calls directly to your voicemail or even just reject the call and send a SMS to the caller.

Auto Reply :

Auto Reply is a paid application for Android devices. It is capable of sending messages to all your missed calls or to the SMS. This application does not reject calls and send them a message but sends messages to those calls which go into Missed Calls section. Also, you can enter a list of contacts to whom you want to send the message or to everyone! And choose if it is active only for calls or only for SMS's as well.

SHSH Blobs are a Hash Signature system that Apple developed in order to sign the firmware that is being added to a device. The advantage of saving SHSH Blobs of your device before Upgrading to a new version of the firmware are quite obvious. If you have SHSH Blobs saved, you can always Downgrade to that version of the iOS even after updating to a newer version. Say, you updated to a newer firmware but could not find a way to Jailbreak it and now you want to go back to the older version of the iOS in order to be able to jailbreak it. But, if you do not have SHSH Blobs, you simply can not downgrade your firmware. Thus, saving SHSH Blobs of your iOS is really important before upgrading your firmware!



Well, this difficult task has been made easy by one of the iPhone Developer, iH8Sn0w. This developer developed an application of windows, named iFaith, which is capable of saving SHSH Blobs of all iOS Versions from 3.x.x to 5.0.1 . Let's begin with how to save your SHSH Blobs.

2. An instruction screen will show up. Click OK on that.


3. Next, a screen similar to this will show up. Click on Dump SHSH Blobs.
   


4. Then, you need to click on Proceed and then again Proceed. After this, it will ask you if you are using Apple TV 2? Select the appropriate answer depending on your device.


5. Now, power off your device, while it is connected to the computer and click Start on the screen.
   


6. Now, enter into the DFU Mode, which can be done easily by following the on-screen instructions.


7. When you enter into the DFU mode successfully, the app will automatically start saving your SHSH Blobs. After it is done, it will ask you where to save them. Browse to the location and click Save.
