  • {Vibrant} Lag fix and on-click root

    While searching for a lag fix, I found this..

    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784691

    Currently Included Lag Fixes:

    Root + Superuser – The APK includes an update.zip that will root+superuser your device. Android 2.1 does not support auto-running/recovery mode from apps, so you will have to manually enter recovery mode. Android 2.2 does support this, so it may be added in the future.

    EXT2Tools – This installs the correct busybox and some ext2 tools for checking the filesystem, etc.

    OneClickLagFix V1+ – The included lag fix is called ‘OneClickLagFix V1+’ and is a heavily checked version of the original 1.0 One Click Lag Fix Script. It contains additional checking, the app and app-private folders, as well as filesystem checking on boot. It has a slider that controls how much space the lagfix will use. Further to right will mean you can install more apps, but you may have to remove some when undoing the lagfix. Further to the left means less space for new apps, but will make it much easier to uninstall.

    OneClickLagFix V1+ Remover – This should painlessly remove the lag fix for you.

    Space Checker – You can check the amount of free space still available for apps after the lag fix is installed using the option in the app. Works for all lag fixes.

    Change Scheduler – Changes the kernel I/O scheduler. More details in app.

    What is this lag fix version for?

    A lot of people have trouble with the script versions. This aims to make a simple lag fix that anybody can use. It has a lot of checks, and does not remove any files that the system is using. This hopefully means that this lag fix will cause zero problems. In the event that a lag fix fails, the app should undo the lag fix and leave your device as it started. You will have the option to mail the log to the lag fix developer (me in the case of the stock lag fixes).

  • Out-of-office reply messages to the Internet

    By default in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, the sending of out-of-office reply messages to the Internet is disabled. Many administrators do not allow out-of-office reply messages to be sent outside the Exchange organization to prevent unauthorized people from learning when users are out of the office.

    To enable this option:

    1. Start Exchange System Manager.
    2. Double-click Global Settings, and then click Internet Message Formats.
    3. In the details pane, right-click a domain name, and then click Properties.

    Note By default, “*” is the SMTP domain.
    4. In the Default Properties dialog box, click Advanced, and then click to select the Allow out of office responses check box.

    This allows out-of-office reply messages to be sent under this SMTP policy.

  • PSP Video Format

    Start with the Apple/Universal preset then change:

    Picture Settings>width: 480 (psp native) and anamorphic: none
    Video> Average Bitrate:350 (low, but looks fine for a small screen and I like to have a small file to be able to fit more on my card)
    Audio>AAC Stereo 48khz 128kbps

    If your PSP says it can’t recognize the file, make sure you used the 32 bit version of handbrake.

  • IIS and Silverlight

    I am not a big fan of IIS but if you want to serve Silverlight apps with IIS , you must add the appropriate MIME Types in server 2003 and vista,

    * .xap application/x-silverlight-app
    * .xaml application/xaml+xml
    * .xbap application/x-ms-xbap

    The Dude at this link created a VBS script to make the process easier.

  • Turn off chkdsk on boot Windows

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute

    Make the value = autocheck autochk *
