x50v Quicklinks...Software and Tweaks You "Need"...

[ooosadface]

By default the processor speed of the x50v (don't know about the others) is set to auto scale in order to save battery power. You can increase this speed by doing the following:

- Tap 'Start' - 'Settings' - 'System Tab' - 'Power Icon' - 'Processor Tab'
- Set it to your hearts content.

Mine stays at 624 MHz

You could also use XCPUScalar to overclock your processor.

OOOS

Tip-1: The new



Tip-4: Use tools such MemMaid, Tweats2k2 to move Pocket Internet Explorer (Temporary Internet File) cache to storage cards. You can do this by modifying Windows Registry too

Just to add to this - it's also possible to move the cache to BIS but doing so will result in a significant slowdown.

It is true. Does the new ROM A02 inprove the BIS access speed? Anyone tested it yet?

I may add a "Software I Really Like" section, but for now I'm trying to keep it at tweaks that improve performance, protection or make it pretty (for lack of a better phrase).

Actually, it does heighten performance. It allows MPEG-4 Video to be played at a much lower clock speed... :approve:

looks good, nice list

if anyone wants more cases, look in the x50 accessories forum for **X50 Series Case List** :)

Try this to put the date and time of the title bar. I forget where I copied this from.

Displaying Date and Time in the title bar:

The Pocket PC display the time in the title bar, the user can select Analog or Digital using tap&hold on the time.
But some people also want the date to be easily available, this was actually available on Palm-size PC devices.
Fortunately there is a tweak to display both the date and time instead of time only in the Pocket PC title bar :

Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
Create a binary value named "TBOpt" and set its value to "13 00 00 00".
Save any unsaved document and reset your Pocket PC.

PSSHUTXP has a sleak skin for VGA! too :approve:

Really like psshutxp. I also downloaded the blue and white VGA skin but haven't been able to get the skin to display. Where do you install the skin and how do you get it to display?

[ooosadface]

Added Registry/Hardware Tweakers section.
Added title bar date/time link.
Added update ROM from SD card link.

As reported A02 ROM still does not fix the BT & WiFi (turn on/off) problem. I think this issue mostly can be circumvented by turn off all Today plugins. The free utility Nopluginstoday (http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities...instoday.shtml)

This utility can quickly disable all today Plugins - You can turn on BT or WiFi and re-enable Today Plugins

Added under 'General Tweaks'. I may create a 'Sound Tweaks' section if I/someone finds one more sound tweak. Currently there are the alarms and x50mix. Thanks SolSie!
