I'm just not hearing a reason to upgrade, it's a hassle to reinstall everything, get it all reconfigured, all for "improved power on mechanism and robustness when changing memory freq."

I havn't had any problems when the device changes it's clock freq. nor have i had any problems with the power on mechanism, I push the button and it powers on.
From what I have read in the forums, there just isn't a noticable difference.
Perhaps if I were having stability problems when the device was "shifting gears" for power management, then I might upgrade. However, I am not.

If you have Sprite Backup you do not have to reinstall everything. I haven't tested this yet but I will report if it doesn't work as expected.

Or even the backup util that comes on the Axim's as standard. Always worked 100% for me every time.

I just updated. I really had nothing on my X50v worth keeping. So I took the chance to clean up and now I'm running on A04

Cheers

I just got my new Axim x50v on Monday and it had AO4 installed. So far, this device rocks bells.

Yeah, I don't really see a need to upgrade. What exactly is "Improved the power-on mechanism" and "Enhanced the system robustness when changing the memory frequency" going to do for me? I think it's a waste of a ROM Flash. Those should be "bonus" improvements.

I never upgraded to AO3, do I need to do that first or just install AO4?

You should be able to go straight to A04, since it would have rewritten everything anyway. Good luck!

You should have no Problem installing Larry, as for me although I have everything Backed up, I always go for a clean Install,That way I avoid any conflicts, Just a personel preference:approve:

Each upgrade is a full rom image, so no need for incremental upgrades, go straight to A04. If you see any point. I haven't seen any point in A03 yet, let alone A04.
