Here are some exemples of MortScript scripts that I am using they help me a lot in using my two axims devices x50v and x51v, they are both under WM5 aku 2.3.1.
I am sharing those scripts that I see more as tricks, you are very welcome to use them or optimize them as for sure they are not perfect.
Before using any of those scripts, I strongly suggest that you do a full backup of your device, some scripts are modifying registries values so I don't want in any case be responsible of any loss of datas from your devices.
You must ensure that you are using Mortscript V4, to run some of those script. If not you must upgrade
TT6 launching script with max sound volume (Once TT6 closed the script restore the orignal sound volume, in this example TT6 is installed on Rom, path must be changed if Tomtom Navigator is installed elsewhere)
#Restoring initial sound volume
Switch %volume%
Case 0
SetVolume 0
Case 858993459
SetVolume 50
Case 1717986918
SetVolume 100
Case -1717986919
SetVolume 150
Case -858993460
SetVolume 200
Case -1
SetVolume 250
EndSwitch
Else
#Display TT6 if already running
Show TomTom Navigator
EndIf

PIE Launching script with 4096 Mo RamDIsk on demand for PIE cache. (It uses RamDisk, the script will check if Ramdisk is properly installed and won't run if not, the cache relocation is also done by the script and original value is restored when pie is closed, ramdisk is unmounted as well. The script can be run as is and doesn't need any registry modification prior launching it.)

Here is what I get:
The screen display is optimized without any scrollbar at the right. :)
Nota: You must modify the script with your proper dHeightLimit values. (see comments in the script).
High Res Script for Landscape Browsing with PIE. (The script forces PIE High Resolution for landscape browsing for a VGA device)
This is an exemple of what you would get while surfing imdb.com with PIE in native VGA resolution:
In full screen you would get:
If your vga device is running on a WM5 aku 3 or a WM6 OS, you have the possibility of using PIE with high res mode.
If not you can still browse with pie on high res mode by switching to TrueVGA mode.
I myself using my device on trueVGA mode 80% of the time. However if it happens that I am using my device in native vga mode, I am using this script to surf in high res mode if I am in a hurry to surf and if I don't want to wait for doing a soft reset on my device. Using this script will switch PIE in high res mode without soft-resetting the device.
#Check that device is running in Native VGA Mode
#On vérifie que l'appareil est en mode VGA Natif

#Check that display is on Portrait Mode

(Download PIEhighRES.mscr at the end of this post, or you can also use PIEhighRES_Ramdisk.mscr if you have Ramdisk)
and in full screen:
The result is 100% working in full screen mode. You'll see that the bottom of the screen is not having a perfect display in regular mode in the softkey area. However it's still fonctional, it works perfect using calligrapher in keyboard float mode for using input in PIE. If you are using the native keyboard it sometimes not properly displayed, you only need to recall it from the sip menu selection to have it properly displayed.
Warning I strongly suggest that you install the trueVGA dll, in your device you can find it here. The script is modifying the LogicalPixels of the device, so if for any reason you are doing a soft reset before closing pie, you will recover in trueVGA mode, it would be better than to have the proper file to take control of the device and switch to native mode via ozVGA.
To avoid any slide effect, you should close pie after using this script, so the LogicalPixels of the device will be properly restored (Don't invoke/or switch to any other application before closing PIE).
USE THIS SCRIPT WITH CAUTION AND WITH YOUR OWN RESPONSABILITY)
Also I suggest you read Menneisyys thread : VGA Demystified
Wow! Much thanks for all all of these useful scripts. Especially the PIEHires scripts... I've been trying to find a way to make PIE a little less stupid with the pixel doubling and it looks like the only way is with your script or TrueVGA dlls....
Great work, thanks!

You are welcome Mokubai, let's hope that either Dell or someone else will deliver a rom with aku 3 or even WM6, so we will have the "use High Resolution" feature embedded with PIE.
I'll try to have a look on that if I can find time this summer.
Opera 8.65 Launching script with RamDisk on demand for Opera cache. (It uses RamDisk, the script will check if Ramdisk is properly installed and won't run if not, the cache relocation must be done by yourself by editing the \Application Data\Opera\opera.ini adding this line:
Cache Directory4=\Ramdisk (in [User Prefs])
The script will try to mount a Ramdisk from 8192 Mo, 6144 Mo or 4096 Mo, if you don't have enought Ram free, to mount a Ramdisk, it will abort with warning.

(Download Opera_Ramdisk.mscr at the end of this post)
Warning Don't forget to add the line Cache Directory4=\Ramdisk in opera.ini file (in [User Prefs]) or the scrip is useless. I only tested the script with the 8.65 béta, the script is checking where you installed opera so if you have moved the opera exe file after installation it won't work.
Nota This script is strongly suggested if you're having an x50v running on WM5.
You can also modify the line (in opera.ini):
Download Directory=\My Documents
to
Download Directory=\Ramdisk
In case you want to download file from Opera, but remember that you have a size limitation in the Ramdisk
Once again Makuu, you are the fountain of great Mortscript utilities. I like the "probing" to see what size 'disk you can get away with, very nice.
:approve:
Many thanks!

One question BTW, I used the PIEhighRES script but the positioning of the soft keyboard were at the centre of the screen, covering most of the viewable area, and makes inputting of, say URL, very difficult. Any fix for that?

I don't have a fix, just a workaround: from the small arrow next to the keyboard icon, invoke the sip menu like if you wanted to change the input mode (like to use transcriber for exemple), then re-invoke the keyboard. It will positione it the right way.
This is basically a plaigarised version of your TomTom script makuu, sorry...
Coreplayer is rather a large and slow to load executable, and takes a long time to bring the window to the front when you run it if it is already running and you just minimise apps like I do. This script just brings the window to the foreground if it is running, otherwise it runs it from scratch.
It also puts the volume to maximum (a la your script) as I use the volume control in Coreplayer for finer adjustment...
