Hi Guys,
Excellent idea Chris for allowing this discussion! Way back when WM5 was first available to X50v users, I was one of the first in line to purchase the WM5 CD for $50/-. However that WM5 CD is still not used due to all the pain and hurt it caused many X50v users who upgraded to WM5 and found it slow and horrible, and downgraded it again back to WM2003SE. But I've kept mine as WM2003SE.
Fast-forward to present, and the appearance of revived ROMs for the abandoned Axim X50v/X51v, and new life now beats in the Axims once again!
Allowing this thread is a great idea (kudos again Chris!). I did a lot of reading on other sites prior to moving up to
Maglite's WM6 A02 ROM with 0Mb PAGEPOOL (modded by Zeus_Alex).
I found that this is an incredibly stable ROM which I've used for the last few weeks. The filesys impact is much reduced and not noticeable much anymore. I've always figured that when having a pagepool size of some memory size, it should be faster. But it seems that when having a ZERO Pagepool, it also helps to make the WM6 on an Axim X50v behave smoother and quicker. Weird as that may seem... I still can't describe it, so I won't bother. If you feel up to trying this at your own risk, then you can also experience the difference.
I'm having fun installing the WM5/6 apps that work on my WM6 A02 ROM with 0Mb PP. I've further added the 0.5 version in Widcomm for Axim development and its working fine to stream A2DP music to my Sony DR-BT21GB Bluetooth stereo headset! Wow!
Using the Windows Media Player to stream MP3 music, I can control the music application on my Axim from the Bluetooth headphones. Again, awesome! :approve:
