I really can't be beta-testing ROMs. I did try nueROM since it was one of the only custom WM 6.1 non-Rhodium ROMs I could find, but it didn't really seem to offer much. Maybe it's crazy to unlock and not change ROMs, but I unlocked in order to try different radios. Does anyone know of an extremely stable, low-cruft WM 6.1 non-Rhodium ROM that offers substantial battery life advantages over stock?

I'm obsessive about fully closing as many processes as possible. Beam Receive, Bluetooth, and WiFi are always off. The phone radio is off any time I'm at home or notice I have no signal. I avoid using GPS because that just seems to make things worse.

I have read all the battery-saving threads and done nearly all of what was recommended (registry edits, disabling polling apps, etc.) but I'm not really comfortable installing cabs unless I know for certain what changes they make. I've certainly enabled all the power-saving features in Diamond Tweak and Schap's Advanced Configurator.
