[Motorola Droid X2] Tomsgt:
Want to start this thread for those of us that are new to CM7 like me. Looking for input on how to best use the capabilities of this rom. Any advice or direction would be great.

Example.

1How to change the battery icon to have a percentage instead of a icon.

Push menu button then settings hit CyanogenMod setting/ interface/ status bar tweaks/ battery status style. Here you can change the battery icon.

2 how to set CPU frequency (the speed your processor runs)

CM settings/ performance/ CPU setting. Here you can set CPU min and Max along with different governors like performance or powersave.

3 How to change notification power widget:

CyanogenMod settings/ Interface/ Notification power widget.

From here you can select what you want displayed in notification. (Widget buttons), order of the icons (Widget button order), and color under the icons (Indicator color).

4 How to set lock screen to delay the pin lock after screen is off.

Hit CM setting/ lockscreen/ delay and time out/ screen time out delay/ set it here.

Note: the following are my selections for the Security lock screen and the slide lock screen delays. You can change yours to what you prefer.

1. Select Screen timeout delay. I have this set to 10 minutes. This is the setting that sets how long to delay the security lock screen before it activates when the screen times out.

2. Select Screen turned off delay. I have this set to 10 minutes as well. This is the setting that sets how long to delay the security lock screen before it activates when you quickly press the power button to turn the screen off.

3. Make sure there is a check mark for the Enable slide lock delay setting. This ensures the slide lock screen has a separate delay from the security lock screen.

4. Select Screen timeout delay. I have this set to 5 seconds. This is the setting that sets how long to delay the slide lock screen before it activates when the screen times out.

5. Select Screen turned off delay. I have this set to Immediately. This is the setting that sets how long to delay the slide lock screen before it activates when you quickly press the power button to turn the screen off.

With these settings, my slide lock screen comes on 5 seconds after the screen times out, or immediately when I tap the power button. Then, in either case, the Security Lock screen comes on 10 minutes later.

If I tap a button before the 10 minutes expire, I am presented with my slide lock screen. If the 10 minutes has expired, then I am presented with my security lock screen. (The slide lock screen is never presented once the security lock screen has been activated.)

12 how to change Wifi sleep policy

Seems alot of people were complaining about wifi issues in CM7 Beta post.

Since there is no blur to change this, and the only change we have is through..

Settings/ Wireless&Networks/ Wi-Fi Settings then menu button/ Advanced/ Wi-Fi sleep policy. By default CM7 turns Wifi off when screen turns off, I adjust mine to Never and no issues with Wifi. Reboot phone after setting.

Hit settings then ADWlauncher/ UI settings/ trash can positions.

16 How to remove app labels from icons.
