Improve sport apps tracking on MTK quad-core

Today I show you how to improve the measurement of sport apps like Endomondo, Runtastic, Runkeeper, Strava, Sports Tracker, etc.

If you practise sports (cycling, running, etc) and you like to track how are you doing, and you would like to improve the tracking (a error on the Mediatek quad-cores in general - like our THL W100 - is making the tracking not so accurate as it should be). Let's improve it with a simple trick, as following:

WARNING - You need your phone rooted.
(If your phone it's not rooted, click here!)

- Install "Root Explorer" app, or other explorer that enters your phone system
- Access "/system/build.prop"
- Edit it, adding this command "dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast"
- Save the file and reboot the phone
- YOU'RE DONE!

The reasons

So, what are the reasons for buying the ThL W100?
For me, the main reasons are the low price for what the phone offers (I'll post the specs later) and the support it has on the Internet, mainly from Spanish countries (I've bought mine on a online Spanish store). But first, I've searched a lot on the internet about the support of the equipment, and what I've found is that this phone is well constructed, well designed and it's gorgeous, it's great, and it's quad-core! Android 4.1, and with the phone included, the store offered me an extra battery.
