Lets you select battery styles, icons for all over, task bar mods, and even boot animations.

Use the framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, and SystemUI.apk from the ROM zip folder

==============================================

Helpful hints on battery life:

Look in Settings > Accounts & Sync and make sure you are not syncing anything you don't care about like news and stocks, etc. Leave them to update when opened. Same with E-Mail.

Go into the people/contacts and make sure you are only syncing contacts you need. For example I use Outlook and turned off Google and phone.

Turn off WiFi when you are not in range or need it. I boosted the search frequency time but it still helps to not have it searching at all

Adjust screen brightness to say 50% then put it on auto.

In Settings > Location turn off GPS and Phone Finder. That assumes you don't care about Phone Finder.

In Settings > Privacy turn off automatic backups if you don't use them

In Settings > Power turn of efficiency

In Settings > Applications > Manage Applications uninstall ES File Explorer and HTC_IME mod (My black keyboard) if you don't use them. EFS runs in the background all the time.

In Settings > Applications > Manage Applications uninstall Netflix if you don't use it.

Look in Settings > Applications and see if you have any apps that run all the time that you don't really use and uninstall them.

If I think of more I will add them.

Most of these use battery but also use RAM so you can save on both.

Possible fix for 3G drops

If you are experiencing either 3G drop or slow 3G speed it could be because a prior ported Sprint ROM may have corrupted something with your VZW setup. Happens when a ROM is not completely de-sprinted. Following this appears to help.

Do a Nandroid backup while 3G is working

Wipe everything

Flash this ROM Stock leaked Gingerbread ROM but rmk40

Don't worry about a full setup just accept and skip through eveyrthing

Do a *228 option 1 the option 2

Make a call to make sure it work OK

Wipe everything again in recovery. Does not hurt to format Cache, dalvik, System and data. DO NOT FORMAT SD CARD

Do a Nandroid restore from the backup made in first step

Wipe Cache and Dalvik

Reboot
