New Axim X5 ROM Update for Pocket PC 2002 Posted (Update from A00 to A02)

[Chasky]

Have anyone of you out there made an update of the ROM already?

I just saw it over Dell support, I donwloaded, but I haven´tried yet!!!!!

It just came out TODAY? I got to try it when I get home. :)

I really don't want to try it first. I DO NOT want to try it first. One of you try it first. It *does* require a hard reset. Oh man I don't want to try it first. I don't know if I can help myself though.


:rolling: :hide: :exc:

Yeah, but what's new? What does it do? No info on the Dell site.

From the installation instructions:

Improved backup battery status monitoring
Changed time-out values for power light (notifications) to improve battery life
Improved start-up time
Improved navigation button applet
Improved CompactFlash modem interface driver
Support for C1 stepping of the Intel XScale CPU

think of it this way... if it messes up your ax, you get a new one right (crossing my fingers)...:rolling:

I just installed it, before it said I had a PXA 250 400 mhz c1 stepping, now it says PXA 255 400mhz a0 stepping, I guess that answers past arguments...
Accroding to pocketpcthoughts.com the update includes:
* Improved backup battery status monitoring
* Changed time-out values for power light (notifications) to improve battery life
* Improved start-up time
* Improved navigation button applet
* Improved CompactFlash modem interface driver
* Support for C1 stepping of Intel XScale CPU
I dont have any benchmarking software nor anytime to find any before class tonight so someone else will have to play with that to see if theres any performance increase.

* Improved navigation button applet

Does this mean I don't need the older Dell nav button patch?

This is the new Navigator Button "Control Panel"....

It gets removed with this "update"...

[edbro]

I am restoring now so I wonder how it will remove the patch. Seems like it will be restored from my backup

I'd hope it wouldn't restore the patch because it will probably screw up the axim.
