Axim X50 Series WM5 FULL SPEED

grmiller · 05-05-06, 05:08 PM

This list is the best after this if your X50 series With WM5 does not work 100% than through the X50 out the window okay. Talking about the best tweaks ever.

FIRST HARD RESET

1. Than Goto the Start Menu
2. Settings/Systems/ Click Error Reporting Click DISABLE
3. In the Same Settings/Systems Click Power Than Processor Tab and Click Maximum Performance

Than the following:

BLUETOOTH STACK DRIVERS

1. Widcomm 1.7.1 (Last drivers out)
2. Coexistance Hack so that Bluetooth and WIFI work together.

ACTIVESYNC HACK

1) Start up AS on your x50.
2) Tap the menu tab/soft key and tap "Add Server Source"
3) Configure a server source with a dummy IP address, user id, password and domain name; these do not have to be real
4) Once configured you should have another sync source show up on your main AS screen...continue on.
5) Tap the menu soft key again and you should see that the sync schedule option is no longer greyed out.
6) Change your schedule from a timed automatic start of AS to manual under both fields
7) If you try to sync now, AS will try to contact your imaginary exchange server and that will take forever until it times out, so you can now delete the exchange server from your list of sync sources. Your changes to the sync schedule will remain and will survive soft resets too.

REG TWEAKS

1. Get Tweaks2K2 3.21 version and install it and goto Tweaks/System Tricks/System Tricks.
2. Collection 1 - Uncheck Everything.
3. Collection 2 - Check only Show AM/PM in the clock and Wake up Power off time 60s.
4. Collection 3 - Just check Alarm Fix for WM2K3/5.
5. Collection 4 - Uncheck all
6. Collection 5 - Check only Increase the PNP Unload Delay, WM5 Optimum Cache Size and Do not delete CAD Files.
7. Than goto the Tweaks/Video and check the Speed up display.

Than click Tweaks/Exit.
And Soft Reset Okay.

a. Goto download Resco Explorer and install it with Regeditor.
b. Do the following if not changes from the Tweaks2K2.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\DataCacheSize=0x1FA0(4096)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\Flags=0x28(40)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Cac heSize=4096

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Ena bleCache=0x1(1)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=4096

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\DataCacheSize=0x1FA0(4096)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\Flags=0x28(40)

HKLM\drivers\buitltin\strataFMD and delete the two CompactionCritPrio256 and CompactionPrio256.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\FileSys and change it to say \CF Card\Volatile or \SD Card\Volatile instead of \Application Data\Volatile.

Than goto \Application Data\Volatile in file explorer and delete cut the folder and copy it to the place you asigned it too. Wait 30 secs and soft restart the PPC.

Also goto the Windows/Startup folder and delete the poutlook file.

Than Goto filesys Patch v10 the best.

Than this sounds funny but go and get a game that is called The Great Gold Rush and install it and run it when you run it for the first time you will see that it asks to change something in the reg files to make it work faster well it makes the PPC faster. About 5-10% okay. (Note you can uninstall it if you like after the reg changes and soft reset okay)

NOW LAST TWEAK AND READY TO FEEL THE SPEED

Go get this SKTools

I used SKtools set for performance and the following are set

Disable windows animation
Disable menu animation
Set font cache size to 32768
TCP window size 98304
File system cache 2048

Do that with SKTools and than Soft Reset and tell me how it goes.

My PPC is working 100% now. If you don't believe me here it the video.

Tweaks2K2 3.21 now have the MUIFIX built in ... don't forget that one in order to install program more smoothly in future ;)

I'm curious as to what the game adviced to modify in the reg. :)

Just try the last one. Because I got it from a HP Site and my PPC is now working 100% Bluetooth and all.

Try it. The SKTools and check out the movie.

That axim site suggested that you change these registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=4096
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\DataCacheSize=0x1FA0(4096)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\Flags=0x28(40)

That will have no effect for the same reason changing the CompactionPriority keys have no effect (see the "What about these registry keys" section of http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/...6/552996.aspx).

If you could change the keys (which you can't), the sizes are pretty large. 0x1FA0 is 8K, not 4, and would result in burning 4M of RAM. And the RepleStoreCacheSize is measured in records, not bytes, so 4096 is really excessive. 256 is a more reasonable number.

Setting these two keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Cac heSize=4096
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Ena bleCache=0x1(1)

Will have an effect, but probably not the effect you expect. Those are the default values that are used if there's no specific value overriding them. THe MSFlash keys override those values for internal flash (assuming internal storage is using MSFlash and not some other filesystem). So, most likely, those two keys will only affect CF/SD cards. By the way, setting those two values to that amount will consume 2 megs of RAM. So make sure you understand the tradeoffs before changing them.

Setting the TempPath registry key should work. You can point it to an SD card, or a RAMdisk you've installed. (Hey, if you're willing to set your device to have 6M of caches, maybe a RAMDisk is a good idea...)

Take care as to which of those registry tweaks you do.

btw, I'm sure "FULL SPEED" is a bit of an exaggeration - what are your patch_filesys v10 settings? i have mine set to 10/30, and anything lower than 10s for the compaction checks results in unstableness (i think that Paging key shsmith talked about did help a bit in that aspect), while anything greater makes it not 100% full speed as you'd have to wait that amount of time before the filesys.exe thread is suspended

I also understand that Lat. I also have it at 10/30.

But it is working 100% no more icon delay.

And programs run a little faster did you see the video clip?

Storino03 · 05-05-06, 06:45 PM

i'm in the process of installing the bluetooth stack on my x50 basic, so this better work. :)

XandeR803 · 05-05-06, 07:03 PM

Part of the speediness could also be attributed to the fact that your just did a hard reset. I've noticed that my x50v is very speedy even without any of the hacks right after I do a hard reset. However, in my experience, things will definetely bog down after a while.

Check the video it has no difference. I have hard reseted and installed Spb Backup. And when I did the last tweaks from the HP page it worked 100% great stuff. Check the video please and than judge.

I have had it now for three days and no bog down.

Storino03 · 05-05-06, 07:17 PM

well, i just bricked my ppc...LOL...the darn thing says that the bt program has to be reinstalled on a soft reset, plus i can't get the file in windows/start menu/programs (in the download) to copy over...says make sure it's not read only..

Storino03 · 05-05-06, 07:17 PM

Also, my sound seems to have gone to the wolves...there is NO sound at all..

Storino03 · 05-05-06, 07:20 PM

yeeeeep, no way to recover. I guess i'll contact dell :(

Storino03 · 05-05-06, 07:22 PM

OMG, wtf....WMP10 is corrupted on my device too...no music files play O_O

Storino03 · 05-05-06, 07:23 PM

not to mention, after 3 resets, the sound won't come back up :(

Well if you don't read instructions that come with the files, I would think you could have problems.

Try reading that easy.

I never had problem with media player and also the Sound never.

I don't understand what you did.

Storino03 · 05-05-06, 07:29 PM

i did the manual install

the file in the download--start menu/programs won't copy to my device at all. it says its protected or something..then when I soft reset (without that file copied) it gives me some exe isn't found.
