Addon extravaganza! [4/24]:

New addons: enable CRT screen on/off animations (thanks capychimp!) and enable overscoll glow (HTC green or AOSP yellow)

New section in ROM Manager that allows you to easily remove any addons you installed. Now you can give them all a try without worrying about how you're going to get rid of them in case you don't like them!

Capychimp fixed a bug in his CRT screen on/off animations addon that wouldn't let you power off your phone

More addons and cleanup [4/25]:

-New addons

Addons are now available that allow you to enable overscroll glow and disabled battery percent display at the same time.

New option in the Remove Addons section of ROM Manager that allows you to revert to the stock Inspired Saga kernel (since the first OC kernel for Gingerbread Sense has now been made available).

-Addon cleanup/fixes

Removed build prop from addons so they aren't version specific. Not sure why I was doing that before, but I'll be able to release updates a lot easier now that I don't have to resign the addons with a new build prop every time I update.

Optimized addon updater-scripts - addons will install a little faster now

-Fixed a bug in the ROM Manager flashing process that could leave you with a build prop from v1.0.1 if the flash was unsuccessful.
