Wishing for some BASS or an EQ in YouTube, Music Player, or any other audio app? The solution is DSP Manager from CyanogenMod!
In order to install DSP Manager you need to have a rooted phone and a file manager like ES File Explorer which can get root access.

Just install DSPManager.apk like a normal application. Then open ES File Explorer and copy  libcyanogen-dsp.so to /system/lib/soundfx A reboot might be required.
That's all! Now just open DSP Manager and set your wished preferences. Here are some screenshots to help you.

How to get fade effect to subtitles with KMPlayer or PotPlayer


K-Multimedia Player is a media player software for Microsoft Windows which can play a large number of formats including VCD, DVD, AVI, MKV, Ogg, OGM, 3GP, MPEG-1/2/4, WMV, RealMedia, FLV and QuickTime. It has a significant user base and has received strong ratings and reviews on major independent download sites. PotPlayer is another great media player. It is actually developped by the original developer of KMPlayer!

Fade effect on subtitles might seem to you ordinary, but I assure you, it will improve greatly your cinematic experience, especially on hd movies.
I'll make this tutorial as simple as I can, so I will post some simple screenshots of the settings needed for this to work.

LG Optimus One p500 OC Kernel by cyanogenmod

This kernel compiled from cyanogenmod sources permits overclock and it's pretty much bugless. It's the only kernel which doesn't shutdown my phone while I'm not using it. I'm using it succesfully on stock ROM, so it will most surely work on any other ROM.
It's stable @768Mhz and the Neocore score is around 45 FPS.

How to get fast boot time in Windows XP / Vista / 7



           For those who want a fast boot time in any windows version, and don't have an SSD, a simple defragment utility helps a lot. I stumbled upon MyDefrag, a freeware defrag utility which really impressed me. No other paid defrag software can match this simple yet powerful tool.

          If you are eager to see results, just download the application, install it, and run it with System Disk Daily script. Select only the the partition where windows is installed, usually C:.
         Before running the defragment process you should get the actual boot time of your system to see if you get some positive results. I simply used my phones's stopwatch to keep time of the boot process.
         This fast boot time thing is useful for those who are on a hurry, they simply don't like to wait, use a notebook with low battery status or just like to tweak their systems like I do.

         How does this work? It moves the files used by windows in boot process, onto higher speed zones of the hdd.
