Since smartphones have become like keys and wallets (in fact, today they are both - i.e. keys and wallet), i.e. always within reach, we try to exhaust their potential like oil wells. Users have found many ways to adapt them to their needs, which, despite the advanced technology, remains the domain of everyone, because the art lies in simplicity, not coding or programming.
If you are looking for easy ways to "hack" your phone and have a little fun play with the settings, you don't need to train as a hacker or programmer, because you need it for that just basic knowledge about smartphones. From the outside, the matter may seem complicated, but in reality it is only about some beginner tricks.
1. Lock a friend into your phone
One of the oldest (if smartphones have already accumulated so much history that we are talking about forefathers) and the most funny tricks it is certainly that you create the feeling that someone trapped behind the screen. The easiest way to create this illusion is to take a close-up picture of your friend pressing his face against the glass. From here on (if no post-processing of the photo is required) just set the image as an example of a locked screen ("lock screen").
2. Weather display in lock screen mode
In the morning, when you are still completely glued and you cannot yet get up to draw back the curtains or draw back the blinds and look out of the window to see what is the weather, and even less able to operate a smartphone, the option to display the weather when it is comes in handy telephone "under lock". Unfortunately, this function is not yet native to Apple phones we recommend the free app Weather Lock Screen, and Android users can use the program (about them below) as is Beautiful Widgets, where the weather on the screen will be the first ray to shine on your face.
3. Select the "vibe" rhythm
Adjusting the melody for an individual, it has been with us for a decade and a half, while "vibra" ringing (various vibrations of vibrations) is only now gaining ground. For Apple users iOS 7 and 8 you don't need an app for that. All you have to do is select a contact, press Edit, search for "Ringtone" or "Text Tone" and select. You will find an option for both "Vibration", where you can choose from different vibration patterns or create your own.

Although Androids do not offer this option, as mentioned for every mobile bug, the app grows, in this case it is Vybe.
4. Change app icons
Just as we put a vase we like on the table at home, we can do the same on our smartphone or on desktop. What kind of "placemat" will be is up to you, as it is not necessary to go with default icon applications. You may be familiar with this from computers, but here you need an application that will offer it to you a range of graphic choices. There are paid and free, and we you we recommend the following: Iconic, CocoPPa, and App Icons. If you would like to delve a little deeper into the personalization of icons, download it iExplorer.
5. Customize your Android lock screen
Programs (widgets) are the most powerful weapons in the Android arsenal. They can be "Viagra" for the battery, as they extend its durability, can work simultaneously and are faster than apps. So why not add them to your phone and speed up the processes even more? "Tweezers", as it were WidgetLocker Lockscreen, allow you to make everything, except for the clear design of the phone, so as you imagined.
6. Start your computer using your phone
Everyone Android users they will be happy with this option, because unlike the service as is Revolv free, but still gets the job done turns on the computer remotely and that without rooting (the process by which the phone user obtains administrator "superuser" access to applications and processes on the phone bypassing the operators). Androiders use instead NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna that allows them to activate the computer just by pressing on button on the screen. The antenna is an angle magic wand, but be careful when using it. Read more about it on the website vv.reddit.com.
