Other necessary 411:
Everything is set to load at start that needs to be running (with the exception of *voice command, see below). So Wisbar will load at start and use the settings I found to work well.
I removed everything that I felt was junk which includes the MSN apps, help files, doc templates, sample images, and other non-useful junk (at least junk to me). There was a lot removed.
*NOTE1: Voice command had the EXE removed as this is commercial software. All you need to do is copy your EXE in to the windows dir and create a shortcut to the startup folder and it will be functional and mapped to button #5.
*NOTE2: There is a fix for AD2p Skipping for the first few seconds of the song. This happens in Mediaplayer more than anything else. Basicly the fix will scale the quality of the audio. I did not notice that large of a change from high values to low and picked the value that worked without skipping nearly 100% of the time in WMP. This value can be raised if you use another app TCPMP can use a higher value also if you notice degraded audio this can be set higher if you don't mind the skipping for the first few seconds. Value to modify is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2 DP\Settings]
"Bitpool"=dword:0000001e
Decimal values range from 58-30 (Highest to lowest)
Ok that being said, let me know what you find as I have been testing with my registerd app version and not this buid. Although they are very similar things could differ. Also if you see any personal data or registration in any app please let me know so I may get it removed. There were a lot of changes in the registry and I had to merge my addtions to the new registry hives for 3.5.
To install, unzip the package. Place your device in boot loader mode and run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to get the install going. Do a hard reset after teh update conculdes. (both soft buttons held while re-setting, not what is depicted in the app). Also set the date and time on the welcome screen. Not sure but the trials may expire when you later update the date/time.
