New beta: replaced qualcomm's closed source mpdecision with intelli plug by faux123. Intelli-plug and mpdecision decide when to turn the cores of our quadcore processor on and off.

No. But it's probably not slower either

Because it is was less aggressive then mpdesicion, it offlines cores more often so it uses less energy/keeps your phone cooler

boot_beta6.img
How to enable it: Download trickster mod, then *disable* MPDesicion and *enable* Intelli-Plug
Alternatively, you can enable eco mode.

Note: undervolting doesn't seem to work yet, it gets blocked by sth. Will figure it out

With the the new Boot7_no_oc Kernel, Intelli-Plug works fine but one thing don`t work. When i try to make a movie with 1280x720 hd ready resolution the Record laggs so much that you can`t make a movie. With MPDecision there is not the problem. Anybody had the same? And solution?

It probably does not have the Spanish language pack !! Manually search for one nd it should go well !! Alternatively use a custom keyboard like switkey and I'll be good !!

Thanks, it seems that spanish is not among the languages for input text on keyboard. How or where can I add spanish manually?

Regardjbx3

In settings go to language and keyboard !! And there u can !
If ure using swiftkey download the Spanish language pack directly from the app !!

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

I just figured out that the sdcard folder of my phone actually points to the wknd. So any app installed actually remains installed on the phone only. The actual ad card storage is at storage sdcard0. I only have 4gb of internel storage which is almost getting full !! Can someone plss help me out with this !! I urgently need a fix !! I've even completely formatted my phone but the issue remains !! Is it a bug in the ultimate kernel ?

Hi again.

I have about 2,8 Gb of memory in my htc desire 500 that I can not use, I only have 1,2 Gb for normal use, and 700 Mb of this memory is used by system and software installed.

Is there any way to recover that 2,8Gb?

Thanks.

Move all ure user apps to the externel sd card and delete system apps u don't use !! U cannot really do anything about the system files cause u really need them !! But doing just this would definitely free up space !! Also install all new apps in the sd only.
