Im using Vivi 1.1.1 , the most significxant diff. its 36mg free after soft reset , once you have used with a lot of programms the rom clear unused memmory by itself .when you start up , rom makes a clear ram and you have 35 or 33 free again without soft reset .Its stable , no frezzes , its fastest than others , Ie work ( dont expect miracles with PIE) but works . Dont have misterys drain batt in overnight , only 1 to 2 % .Dont work with WAP until you make wpa fix ( you will find in this forum) Font from menues are full scalables (best values in Pocket Tweak (you will find in sys) Sys Font 900 400

Manu bar font 800 700 Pop Up 800 700 . Change regional settings , by default in Thai

For PDF the best its Diamond Acrobat Reader 2.5 works perfect with zoom and reflow very very fine .At this moment its the best rom than I have tested ( I test all in link from first page) nothing more than I remember at his time

WM6.1 & hx4700 - File & Folder Location Registry Tweaks ?

:D

A very BIG “Thank-You” again to all the ROM Cookers and for the advice / information shared on this great site.

I have been following the hx4700 thread(s) for some time and have read a few suggestions in the past concerning the following question……

Is it possible to modify the WM6.1 Registry so that certain files / folders are permanently re-mapped to a CF Card? Specifically, I would like to re-map the following....

1. “pim” (Outlook Sync Data) - file

2. My Documents - folder

3. Favorites (PIE) - folder

4. Cookies (PIE) - folder

5. Temporary Internet Files (PIE) - folder

6. Any other file / folder that we know can grow significantly in size over time?

I’m sure I’ve missed something. If re-mapping of certain files / folders is possible (and given the limited FLASH space on the hx4700 itself) it would sure be handy to have a program that could automatically step you through changing certain file / folder locations. Kind of a fancy “shell” over a Registry Editor. Am I describing something that already exists ?

Besides the big increase in available space on a CF card, I’ve read it’s best to install applications and data on CF (or SD) cards to minimize the likelihood of the “filesys.exe” kicking in. I’ve read that the hx4700 can only use “non HD” SD cards and those cards only exist in sizes up to 4 GByte. CF cards are available up to 64 GByte.

Any information or thoughts on these subjects would be greatly appreciated.

Note: I’m still running the latest PDAVIET / PhamQuang WM6.1 ROM that I’m aware of….(Build 20764.1.4.3 PV). An Excellent ROM. I’ve added the WPA fix (wzcsvc.dll), installed RDP 6.1 and Ramsses wififix (CAB’s).

Again, Thank’s To All for the great advice & information.

:D

lhasistos, thanks for your comments. I will give Vivi's ROM a try. I will report back on how everything works out. Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sambo60:
I tried vivi's rom, and I am still having the filesys.exe problem. Is there any known way to prevent it from doing that stupid compaction thingie? Has anyone here tried Alkor RC 2.2? I got a broken hx4700 for $60 (broken battery latch switch), fixed it, and now I'm trying to make it as good as my axim x51v before I decide which one to sell. Pros: Bigger screen, touchpad, better battery life. Cons: No SDHC, no wifi button, no hold button (VERY annoying), awkward earphone/stylus positioning, Less capable graphics accelerator. I haven't found a ROM for the hx4700 that works as well as Lenny's L11 does for my axim. However, I really do love the screen on the hx4700 and I'd keep it just for that if I can solve a couple of the bigger cons (filesys.exe, touchpad/hold button, and certain programs I need taking a long time to open). The programs that are taking a long time to open are a mystery to me. My axim used to do the same thing, but then when I upgraded to Lenny's L11 (IIRC) all these apps can open instantly. On the hx4700, they take a while (the bigger the app, the longer it takes). Here is a link to the biggest of the programs. If someone here can figure it out, (maybe a .net issue?) I would be very grateful. The .exe goes straight onto the ppc; no .cab or AS installation. http://www.jewishcontent.org/pda/pocket-pc/bavli/arm/bavli+rashi-Whole-Shas.exe

Sorry , be carefull in most cases you must install an 8m PP rom before flash VIVIs same as Sanjays full , then flash with Vivis , try if dont work, please do what I said .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Do you still get the same "36mg free after soft reset" even with the large pagepool?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sambo60:
If I understood correctly, you have to flash a ROM with an 8MB PP first, but when you flash again with the rom you want (which has a 4MB PP), the fact that you flashed a ROM with an 8MB PP first should make no difference.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lhasistos:
I discover this tweak , a lot of people cant install Vivi s from an old 4 mg PP rom .I dont know the question , but works as I said . First try as you have the machine , if you have troubles then install first 8mPP rom then Vivis , perhaps you dont have any trouble but read post about .

I tried Alkor's RC and it is the best I have used so far. The apps that were loading slowly (see my post on the previous page) now load immediately. I just need a way to stop filesys.exe from going nuts every time I install something in main memory. Any help?

Ok guys, here is the filesys.exe patch modified to run on Alkor's WM6.1 ROM (Thread Here). Put it in your Windows\Startup folder and forget about it :D

EDIT: I tested by running the patch and then installing a program in Main memory, and filesys.exe is still able to run at 99%. Any idea why?

EDIT2: I hadn't patched it right. It's fixed now. Even though filesys.exe is throttled, it still makes the whole machine run like a snail when it's running the compaction thing. Is there any way to Disable it COMPLETELY?

Whereas #3 above would seem to be the most straightforward, I don't know if the chart really reflects how the device performs in day to day use. My experience is that 8MB page pool is best, but that's just my opinion.

The pp can be changed very easily before flashing.
