[ALERT] (Squeezer) Make your programs run 30% FASTER

this is an old trick that was/is used for older devices to fit WinMo 6 on them
but a side effect is faster application load times

i figured i'd try it on the Blackstone and difference is noticeable
HTCAlbum loads in about 1 Second, before it took about 4
so i'm sharing this with anyone who is interested

The batch file is kept as simple as possible for everyone's ease of use
but this is pretty advanced tweaking, so all common warnings apply
and/or
if you are not comfortable with getting files from/to your PocketPC
and/or
can't figure out how to extract this zip and read the "read me.txt"
and/or
don't know what “any key� is DO NOT TRY THIS!
(read the forum a bit more, and you'll gain the knowledge)

to get you started
a short list of EXEs that i have UPXed and work well for me

AdobeReaderLE.exe
ASyncKiller.exe
BCR.exe
Camera.exe
FMRadio.exe
GoogleMaps.exe
HTCAlbum.exe
iContact.exe
KeePassPPC.exe
kinoma.exe
Labyrinth.exe
LongPressEndKeyApp.exe
MP3Trimmer.exe
MusicID.exe
Opera9.exe
OperaL.exe
QuickGPS.exe
RSSHub.exe
s2p.exe
s2u2 Settings.exe
s2v.exe
StreamingPlayer.exe
TomTom Navigator.exe
USBtoPC.exe
WMRegOptimizer.exe
YotaCenter.exe
YotaCenterUpdater.exe
YouTube.exe

and here is a list of things NOT to compress

manila.exe
cprog.exe
thumbCal.exe
calculator.exe
wt5jetpr.exe
any DLL

Please share your findings so that others can benefit from it
(SEARCH this thread for your application name or EXE filename)
note: you'll have to repeat this proses after upgrading your applications

thanks to;
edhaas - for the original simple to use batch file
UPX Team - a lot of technical info on the Website
kwbr - for a great rom
and especially XDA-DEVELOPERS as a whole


HOW ITS DONE
i. Disclaimer
The batch file is kept as simple as possible for everyones ease of use
and this procces/batch run on your PC not your PocketPC
but this is pretty advanced tweaking
so
if you are not comfortable with getting files from/to your PocketPC
and/or
do not know what “any key� is DO NOT TRY THIS!
because I do not and can not provide any support for this!
ii. What it is
This is a simple batch file that automates UPX compression,
it will take all files from "1_Original" directory
1. copy them to "2_Backup"
2. then move them to "3_Compressed"
3. compress them with UPX compression at the highest setting
iii. How to use
1. just drop some exe files into the "1_Original" folder
(great test is HTCAlbum.exe or GoogleMaps.exe)
2. run the “run.bat⠀� file
3. copy the exe files from “3_CompressedÃƒÆ ’¢â‚¬ÂÂÂ� to where you found them
4. test the newly compressed Application
(Restore the exe file from "2_Backup" if the Application does not run or work well)
(Experiment! Report your results in the forum)
iv. Credits and THank you
