I've done the steps he outlined and is now testing to see whether I still have the battery drain problem due to auto-launch of ActiveSync on my Axim X51v.

Well, my bottom line is this: If g00nerz outlined solution solved my battery drain problem, is it still worth me the risks to upgrade my ROM from version A04 to A06??
The solution on g00nerz thread has been around for awhile already. This solution/tweak has to be applied to most Axims running whatever rom(A01,A04,A06). Ive done it on my Axim as well(when it had A01, A04 and even now with A06).

There is no real risk regarding upgrading from A04 to A06. You will still however need to apply all the tweaks and solutions to common problems as A06 has not fixed them.

Treat the ROM updates as numbers, they dont do much apart from raise the number count :) . A06 quite a few users notice does bring a little speed benefit. "Seems quicker".
