I restored the original Navcore this unit came with :
App 8.083 (9669/090817) OS:343369
Map: 'USA_and_Canada' v835.2420
I had to downgrade the map from 855.2931 too, because this Navcore insisted I cannot use this newer map. Anyhow, the 8.083 Navcore has TWO very remarkable improvements over the 9.205.547817 Navcore:
1)
The older Navcore is WAAAAAY faster, and I mean responses to keypresses, lookups of street names, are simply much faster! The updated Navcore always had an annoying 1 ~ 1.5 second lag/delay to keypresses which made entering addresses a big chore - as it would "lock up" between keypresses and I could never do it under two or three minutes.
2) Night/Day colors now seems to be working according to time again.

I was referring to the original settings in the 'switchfiles.zip' that came with the 9.205 Navcore...
original setconfig.txt:

I changed these values to (and yes, I unzipped them to the Tomtom root as a 'Config' folder):
setconfig.txt
model:x50 <-- also tried, x40, x40light, x30, x20, x10
sdid:1
changedtext:TomTom XL 330

btoff

model.txt and cycle.txt also changed to match setconfig.txt. I removed the version.txt (apparently).
I'm a little disappointed to think this thing hasn't enough processing power to effectively support the newer Navcores. I guess I'm going try other Navcores to see if I can find a balance between speed/performance and ability to use the newer maps...
But thank you to everyone for giving me advice.
I'll keep you posted.
