My Axim X51v Most Essential Hacks

[SolSie]

For last few weeks, I made some significant hacks that make my Axim much more productive.

1. Microsoft Voice Command hack: to fix the problem contact command (e.g. SHOW John Smith) only shows a blank screen instead of John Smith contact information
2. Bluetooth hack to add A2DP (Stereo Audio Streaming) to the MS BT stack
3. Bluetooth trick to make the BT Stereo headsets connect easily consistently and to eliminate100% audio skip
4. Add PlaylistMgr and CorePlayer (or TCPMP) to support Podcasting

Kudos to all the authors!:approve:

Essentially here is what you need to do:

1. Open the program
2. Add the contents (e.g.MP3 files) or the whole folder (the tool allows you to navigate/browse your pocketPC)
3. When done, give a name and save the playlist (e.g. My Playlist one.asx) somewhere on your storage card (e.g. /SD Card\My Playlist)
4. Depending on what player you use. You can either browse to the playlist directory, and tap on the .asx file to launch.
5. If you use WMP then you need to update your library (selecting storage card on the drop down menu). Once WMP scanned your device, the playlist will be recognized and you can just launch it from WMP library.

Just thought I'd poiont out that your bluetooth problems can be solved by installing the WIDCOMM stack, listed in the main X50/X51 forums

Hi Ashton, I did install the widcomm stack. But I had to go back to the MS stack due to my config. The Widcomm stack adds about 4MB, which made a difference on my device (with the way I use). I am sure with a simpler config would not feel the same way.
