X01HT - A2DP tweaking (better sound)

Now that I have more experience with the machine, I decided to give it a try to change it's registry. Below two registry tweaks I have done.

  • A2DP tweak to enable stereo and better sound quality
  • Pocket IE tweak to move the temporary directories to my storage card (and thus save some precious system memory)
The changes I made are based on the description in the XDA Developer Website. In the page, you will see lots of other tweaks you could made.

PHM Registry Editor

This is the editor I used to edit the registry. The latest version was released in late 2002. I have a bit of concern if it would work for WM5 but everything turned out to be fine. So, don't worry about the release date.

If you are familiar with modifying the registry in Windows machine, you should have no problem to follow the changes described in the XDA developer page. The registry structure is very similar to the Windows'.

The A2DP Tweak
[HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings]
Add new dword, Value name=BitPool; Value data=48 (Decimal)
Modify, Value name=UseJointStereo; Value data=0 (Decimal, Originally 1)
This enables the Stereo and improves the sound quality. The change is significant and I think it's a must do tweak for bluetooth users. Below Registry Editor screen of this change,



Move Pocket IE temp files to Storage Card
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Cache"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Temporary Internet Files"
"Cookies"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Cookies"
"History"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\History"
In addition to add the above entries in the registry, you need to create the directories manually. This is another must-do for me as I noticed IE uses quite some memory (in terms of MB) . Remember to remove the original temp files to reclaim the free space (under \windows\profile\guest). In my situation, I could only remove them after a soft reset.

Below registry changes I made. Note also the directory name for 'Storage Card' is different since I am using the Chinese version of WM5.
