First of all, I just want to thank Cmonex for his (her?) job at putting this together. I first flashed to the standard 4.2 and got my Aironet 350 card to work without any extra drivers. (Unlike HPC 2000) And then flashed to Cmonex's custom ROM. But there's a couple of questions I have.

A) How do I change (or revert) the desktop icons back to standard 4.2? And how do I revert the windows taskbars back to the standard 4.2? (I.e. without the extra graphics)

B) What's the highest/safest over clocking the MP can take? I tried 465mhz I believe and it just froze on me forcing me to do a soft reset.

C) The contrast looks a bit off, maybe a little dark making it difficult to see the "File" bar at the top of the windows. Is there any way to change the contrast? Or do I have to change the colors of the theme to alleviate the problem?

Thanks for the help guys 'n gals.

A) Flash back to standard 4.2 or cook the shell back to the original

C) It's one of the function keys isn't it?

No clue how to "cook" a ROM and would preferably not go back to stock 4.2. Will have to look into it more.

Of course it is, I was looking up and down on the device for a way to adjust the contrast.

Still wondering about B though. Thanks for the help C:Amie

I know, and I've been through them. From the thread you linked:

But you can't overclock too far or it becomes pretty unstable....most people only overclock for when they are watching video, and then drop back to the normal speed for normal use. About the low 500s is the max for stability....


And from my post:

So even before I hit 500mhz it "freezes" on me using Cmonex's ROM.
