Update ROM Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Maguro) with lineage os

So last night I was working on something I don't do very often, upgrade an old phone to a new ROM. Long ago I upgraded my Nexus tablet (2003) to new Cyanogenmod version. That went pretty smooth but I forgot to note all the steps down. So when I wanted to update this old Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Maguro) to a new lineage OS I had to look-up all the steps I had to do. Now to make my life easy I'll just note them down here.
  1. Let's start with installing ADB, Fastboot and drivers (XDA developers)
  2. So I set it all up, got my phone running in Fastboot mode but now I ran into the problem that the command prompt was "Waiting for device" when typing in a command. - I was able to fix this issue by installing the tool "PDA+" (http://pdanet.co/) that works really well. 
  3. So I unlocked my phone by using the command
    Fastboot oem unlock

  4. Now I was able to move on to setting up a recovery tool on my phone. Off course I chose TWRP - Setting it up is explained Here - XDA and the tool you can download Here - TWRP. In Fastboot you can now type the command below which enables TWRP on your (Unlocked) Android device.
    Fastboot flash recovery <Location>\twrp-maguro.2.1.2.img

  5. To use command (Fastboot) to upload files to the phone use the command below
    D:\adb\adb push lineage-13.0-20170513-nightly-maguro-signed.zip /sdcard/
  6. Now wipe everything from your last ROM (factory reset & Dalvik cache) and install the rom. You are all set!

Azure Information Protection (AIP)

Let's start with one of my favorites (till now). Azure Information Protection (or AIP). Just imagine the following example: You are working on your Word document and you want to send this document to an external person. You e-mail that document as an attachment. The person opens this document, reads it and puts it on an USB stick to take with him. The USB stick get's lost! Now the document can have fallen into the wrong hands! Now what? OK this is a little bit of a roman but hey it could happen! Active Director Rights Management  First let us go back in time to when AIP didn't exist and there was  Active Directory Rights Management Services .  This was a server role that could be installed on Windows Server 2008 R2, it exists since Windows server 2003! Back then it was called RMS. The RMS client is available  from Windows 2000 and later. So what does RMS do? To explain in simple English: Information with RMS on it has certain policies with it  that would remain

Azure IoT Hub

So I bought a Raspberry PI III (3) a while back just to install Windows IoT core on it. Well after another power supply and getting Noobs to work I got Windows IoT core 10 on my RP. What do you see? Well not much to be honest (see below). It's running that's for sure. Well after the RP got running I hooked it up to Azure to do some cool things with it (in my mind). So connecting it to Azure wasn't that hard luckily, see below. Nailed it! Ok, now what? I think of building an App to just make a light go on and off via the RP in Azure. The Idea of having something connected to the cloud and making it work is so cool!  To be continued.

Tiles modern UI

Back in SharePoint 2013 Microsoft introduced "Promoted links" a feature which enabled users to create tiles quick and easy without any custom code. Since then I've seen Promoted links being used a lot of ways, some better than others. However creating tiles with an image in the background was always a nasty thing to do. People would use the weirdest images as background to indicate what it was, totally not user friendly. Especially the choice of the color was very "weird" you would have tiles with all sort of colors and images (see image below as an example). Promoted links always had one big problem; Scaling! It's not responsive in a way you would want to have it. Since Microsoft introduced Modern UI they have also introduced the webpart "tiles". Tiles enables the user to create custom tiles within their SharePoint site, quick and easy. Cool features of the Tiles webpart. Tiles are responsive! They resize when the screen gets smalle
