This app runs after install, and after soft-reset, and immediately starts up the GPS hardware through the WM5+ GPS API. It waits 5 minutes for a GPS lock, or it quits. The GPS polling is limited to every 3 seconds to try to conserve some CPU cycles.

Currently does not use AGPS, but you can turn it on/off at your registry leisure.

This attempts to reduce the Time-To-First-Fix (TTFF) during which the GPS ephemeris almanac is slowly built up. This can take up to 12.5 minutes for a non-QuickGPS/AGPS accelerated device from a cold-start. By kick-starting immediately after soft-reset, subsequent GPS locks for the next ~6 days should be much quicker.

Takes 21K of disk, and ~1K of ram.

Changes:

1.0.0.5: added much belated icon to app and top-bar

This small program runs in the background and checks permanant if a headset is connected to the PocketPC. When the headset is removed accidentally or intenional from the PocketPC, the volume will be set to a default value. This should prevent, that you forget to change the volume or to stop the music playing and so your music won’t “annoy” other people around you.

Changes:

[ADDED] multilingual support
[ADDED] bluetooth headset support
[FIXED] vibration problem

UPX4PPC is an application for you to compress & optimize EXE/DLL files. Programs that are compressed using UPX do not need UPX to be present in order to run. The decompressor is placed on the front of the file, so an additional unpacker is not required when running the compressed programs.
