How to convert CR2 to JPG format for free and easy

June 18, 2018 by Gokul Deepak S Leave a Comment

Today let us see how to convert CR2 to JPG format for free and easy. Most of the time when we take pictures from our SLR camera the default format is CR2. Actually this happened to me in accident. My settings changed unknowingly and all my pictures were in CR2. While I’m trying to convert I faced 2 issues.

Sacrificing Quality
Sacrificing Money

But I decided to sacrifice nothing. And after trying many of the desktop apps, web based apps and mobile apps I have finally found a single app which did everything without charging even a single penny. Remember I’m not marketing for that product but just I wish to share the product which saved me. Because everyone in my family was angry on me for unable to take printout of the pictures taken in an important function.

Now coming to Point I’m mentioning the Android app name which did its magic.

Raw2DNG

This app says it can convert it into DNG. But there is also an option to convert it into JPG. It took nearl 30 minutes to run the complete batch of 185 pictures. All got converted to JPG from CR2 format without sacrificing quality. It is a freeware too. Hope this will help you too.

Open Camera vs Bacon Camera Which is best

September 4, 2017 by Gokul Deepak S Leave a Comment

To know Open Camera vs Bacon Camera Which is best we have to be clear that Bacon camera is made for One Plus One with customisation.

If you have changed your custom ROM and flashed minimum Gapps you will undergo a disastrous effect of not having a good camera app. In m scenario, I have OnePlus one with new Lineage OS. The default camera app is very worst. It always throws me some errors. So finally tried to find a free camera app to use for normal activities. It is easy to shortlist two apps. But choosing one among them is a little bit difficult.

Open Camera is the better option if you want a care free shots. You can simply open the application and shoot photos. It has no ads and 100% free. Really an appreciatable job.

Bacon Camera needs some customising settings. you have to choose iso, speed, EV. It is like using a DSLR camera which has full manual control. So your camera will be under your control. But you need to know some basic details on technical photographic words like iso, Speed, ev etc. you will see ads often when you are trying to view the pictures or do some other operations.

So if you need more customing prefer Bacon Camera and for care, free shots download Open Camera.

Lineage OS VoLTE for OnePlus One True or Fake?

May 22, 2017 by Gokul Deepak S Leave a Comment

You might have seen in many blogs which says lineage os supports volte in OnePlus one(opo). They have published a false post because, in lineage os website they have mentioned they would provide lineage os which would support volte. They have announced this as a news item on April 1. But it was just a prank. They said April fool to us. So lineage os won’t give volte support. They have also said that only OEM can give you such an update. You may have a doubt what is OEM. It is nothing but Original equipment manufacturer.
Now I’m using OnePlus One with lineage os. Unfortunately I was filled by them. Any how they have given nougat version and I love this custom ROM. I’m missing some CM14 features. Especially in customising the theme but feeling this fresh OS is satisfactory.
Final note: if you have OnePlus One and still waiting for volte support. I’m sorry for you.

We can Stock ROM using SP flash tool. Here I’m explaining how to stock ROM using SP flash tool. Before that let us look at the brief information on Stock ROM, Custom ROM and what are all its differences. Follow the procedure given by me step by step. I have tried to explain everything in a clear way that a novice too could understand what to do and what is happening. But as every techie warns us before their instruction let me also warn, “Try this at home at your own risk”.

Why to Stock ROM?

We may have changed our ROM from Default android version to some other custom ROM and then feel irritated or insecure with those custom ROM and rush to come back to our Stock ROM or some of us may have upgraded from Android Kitkat to Android Lollipop with a joy and don’t know how to come back from Lollipop to kitkat after feeling the terribleness in lollipop ROM.

What is the difference between Stock ROM and Custom ROM?

There are two types of Android OS. Stock ROM and Custom ROM. Where Stock ROM is one which was developed by the manufacturer of the device itself. So the Stock ROM is the default ROM of the device and Custom ROM is where an extra ROM which can be flashed in the device which has required configuration.
