Uninstalling Android App that Cannot be Uninstalled Normally in Settings

By
After tapping on the Uninstall Button as shown in the left picture, the dialog with only logo appears like in the right picture.

First time I encountered this kind of App that when you try to uninstall it, it will just display a dialog with its logo and no buttons nor any choice in it to be removed.

What you need before starting:

1. Make sure you have enabled the Developer Options in your Phone, just search on how you can do it in your phone

2. Make sure you have ADB installed, the location of ADB in windows is usually found in C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools if you can't find the AppData, it's probably hidden so check the option to show hidden folders if you're trying to view it and it's not there. If you don't have ADB, just search on how you can install it because it's packaged in Android Studio in my case.
3. Get the package name of the App by going to Google Play Store and look at it's ID in its URL, it looks like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobextph.krispykreme&hl=en&rdid=com.mobextph.krispykreme, that's how I got the package name though I'm not sure if that will always be it's package name, so if you got problem with that search for a way to get the package name of the app that's installed in your phone especially if it's not in Play Store.

So here's how I uninstalled it using Android Debug Bridge or ADB:

1. Connect your phone through a USB cable and enable USB Debugging

2. Lunch CMD or Command Prompt and navigate to the folder where the adb is located

3. Enter the command "adb uninstall pacakage name" example, "adb uninstall com.mobextph.krispykreme" and hit enter and you should see the success confirmation once it's successful as shown in the screenshot of the CMD below.
Successfully uninstalled using ADB Command.
Let's be careful on installing Apps and we should always review the App Permission during installation. The Permission of this particular App is I think more than it's intended function.

Reaction Paper for the movie The Count of Monte Cristo

By
The Second Part of the Reaction Paper on the Count of Monte Cristo Movie. The Count of Monte Cristo is a great story that helps you to realize how far the reaches of vengeance can really go. When the Count is going around ruining people it seems like he is more of a machine than a person. It seems like he has no emotions and can’t forgive the people who hurt him. Although some people might argue that the people who wronged the Count truly had what was coming to them, some of the Count’s actions could be seen as unnecessary. In the end everyone will be punished or rewarded by God and you shouldn’t be worried about what other people do or say as much as you are worried about yourself. “God will give me justice,” this line which was engraved in the wall on the prison was retained on my mind when I watched the movie” The Count of Monte Cristo.” This movie amazed me very much because of its excellent theme. I really like the story because it has a mixed of drama, suspense and rom

Pluggle Review: 6 Reasons Why I doubt Pluggle and Why I'm Not Joining

By
First thing first, I am not concluding that this Pluggle is a scam because as per my observation and as far as my knowledge is concerned, people including my close friends seems profiting from this scheme and got the money they invested into it in a short period of time, and with profit ( although I'm sure the return of investment they got was paid by the people they invited and not from the company itself ). I think there's no doubt as to their legitimacy because, YES they are legitimate and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Philippines as PLUGGLE INC. Are they scam? " Scam " is defined as a " dishonest scheme or a fraud ", are they being dishonest? I think no because they intend to do what they say. Are they " fraudulent "? Fraud is defined as " wrongful or criminal deception intended  to result in financial or personal gain "? This is also vague but I think I was struck by the last pa
