Increase Free Space On HTC Desire Android Phones

Are you running out of free space on phones like HTC Desire and variants? It only has about 150MB of free space and after official Gingerbread 2.3.3 update the free space has decreased. Its really frustrating seeing all those apps with 20MB+ size eating up valuable space on Android phones. Even with App2SD I had very very difficult time maintaining free space. Installing apps like Facebook, Google Plus, Google Reader would eat up all the space. Today I used link2sd to increase free space on my Android phone and now I've more than 1GB of free space for installing apps. I've been installed so so many apps now. link2sd can move your application apk, dex and lib files to second partition of your SD card and creates a symlink where necessary.

Lenovo Y510 has go 4.1 sound system with a sub- woofer (Dolby Home Theater) Default installation of Ubuntu doesn't recognises all four speaker. There are few fix going on the Internet. There is one problem with those fixes, i.e. headphone doesn't mute the speakers. So you have to manually mute and un-mute the speaker while using the headphone. However I have found one fix, that recognises all four speaker and one sub-woofer, mutes and un-mutes them while using headphone, and produces 5.1 surround sound. Open /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base for editing. (you need root access) Open /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf if you are using Fedora (Thanks to the Anonymous user) add the following line at the end options snd_hda_intel model=6stack-dell save and reboot. Now, go to Audio Preferences and select "6ch" under the options tab. You are all done, test it with the command "speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -twav" Note: If you have updated your system
