1. Transfer A2DPFix.cab from the attachment to your Hermes device
2. Tap on the cab to install. Note: you must install this to your device! The service dll can't run from extrom or your storage card!
3. When the installation is complete, reset your Hermes
4. Enjoy skip free A2DP!
Early implementor additional instructions
I had to change the service key to allow automatic start so you will need to manually remove the old key. You must do this before installing v1.0. Here's how:
1. Stop the A2DPFix service
2. Remove the entire HKLM/Services/A2DPFix key from your registry.
Latest Breaking News:

There may be registry settings, previously done in an attempt to work around the skipping problem, that are now hindering rather than helping. Changing quality and other A2DP settings with the Hermes registry Tweaker may actually contribute to this. If you are still skipping with a known good ROM/headset combination, please check your registry settings against these and report on your findings!

As promised, there's now a CAB based installation
ROM version dependency confirmed! This patch's effectiveness is inconsistent with the orignal v1.18 TyTN ROM. YMMV on this ROM for sure.
12/01/06
The success of this patch may also be related to the ROM version you're running. I have the latest TyTN ROM loaded and it has quite a few out-of-the-box performance tweaks which are also included in the latest Cingular and DoPod ROMS.
Known Good ROMs/Headsets
These ROMs are known to benefit from applying this patch:
TyTN v1.35 ROM
Cingular v1.34 ROM
In addition to the few headsets that used to work, the following additional Headsets now work with this patch (I'll add more as I find out)
