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.

Today I upgrade few machines to Jaunty Jackalope 9.04. However in machines with Intel's graphic driver I faced two kind of problem with compiz. Problem 1: After upgrading to Jaunty, compiz couldn't be enabled. The error was saying that the driver was backlisted. To solve this create a file ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager and put SKIP_CHECKS=yes Now enable compiz and it should work. Problem 2: After upgrading to Jaunty, compiz is very slow. You'll easily notice the performance degradation. To solve this you can revert to intrepid driver by following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 But what I did was used "UXA" instead of "EXA". UXA is new and far better but this has some bug, which prevented it from being default in jaunty. To do this open your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" under Section "Device"
