Some things I noticed, don't know if it makes any difference at all to you guys and gals.

I bought a cheap, oem used battery on ebay from a guy in nc. Said it had only been used <10 days, and had a bunch of them. What the heck, I needed a backup battery, so I got it ($5.37). Present battery life on a year old battery was like 8-10 hrs without intensive use.

I have a cradle that let's me charge a spare battery via an AC/DC adapter. Got the used battery in the mail, put it on the charger, and let it charge for like 4 hrs.

Swapped out the batteries, and the used battery was like KILLER, it lasted FOREVER, first time I'd had over 18 hr on a charge, overnight and it was at like 90%. So I drained the original battery, put it on the cradle charger for 4 hrs, now it acts the same way.

I guess the issue is how the batteries are being charged, using my original HTC wall charger was no way near as good as my cheap china cradle charger. It would probably pay to figure out what's going on here. Definitely good to completely discharge and then fully recharge the batteries, and maybe the chargers have an affect also.

Changed the page pool and this thing is insane. Best rom out there! Extremely fast and efficient. Nice Job!

I dunno how truthful this rumor is, but the "fix" certainly can't hurt anything, so just try it. This is how to do it-

1. Let the phone go completely dead, until you can't even boot it up.

2. Charge for about 5 minutes, just long enough to get enough of a charge to boot up & hard reset.

3. Let the phone do it's configurations & reset, then plug it back in & let it charge OVERNIGHT.

Whether or not this rumor about the bug is true or not, doing this literally TRIPLED my battery life, so I'm inclined to believe it's at least partially true.

Seems to have helped mine as well.....it's worth a shot!

It works for me and a few others posted good feedback on it as well.

Great roms Is there a way to change the softkey to the "action" key that NRG has in his roms?

Not sure because I have not used Action menu since TF3D 2.1.
Find an action cab and install it.
It is works then use Diamond Tweak to map the left softkey.

thank you.

[rootlinux]

You are most welcome my friend.

[rootlinux]

Wanted to say thanks again to all of you that have sent donations.
Thank you.

Didn't want to seem ungrateful just been really busy lately.
I won't be doing my night time updates anymore because I start a new job on the night shift.
I will do my best to keep everything updated but it may come slower as in not all the roms at once. LOL

Just updated PocketRar to the new version.
Working on a NEW sys build right now as well.
Will try to keep all of you on the cutting edge.
