Doesn't have to be in the Start Menu. And for what is worth, I have found that setting my batter poll interval at 2250 improves battery life.

Are you sure about setting the poll interval so low? It sounds contrary, but I *believe* that the lower the number, the less frequently it checks the battery... I set mine down to 1250, ran with wifi, bt and gps on and it sat at 45% for a good 30 minutes. Soft reset and it said 35%. I highly doubt a soft-reset took up 10% power, so I wonder if my battery % just wasn't updating.

Well, to be honest, I am not sure. I've played around with these values and although, I can't quantify it, I have noticed different results for different ROMs. I set it at 1250 for a few hours on your ROM, and didn't seem to make a difference. Over the last four hours, I've had it set at 2250 and noticed a "slow down" in the battery drain, and just for kicks, I just soft re-set and it did go down 1%, but that seems normal to me. I'm not trying to reveal the next break through on battery performance, since it really boils down to phone use and quality of the battery to a certain extent, but it's worth some playing around with. Thanks again BTW!

Installed it yesterday, after about trying 5 different roms in the past few weeks, I had the comment from my wife and co-workers that this is one of the best looking/feeling ones I've had. Kudos!

I did find one issue maybe someone here can help me with: Music tab.

The menu button appears to be broken, click it, it goes no where. It lights up and just brings up the menu which is where you can do shuffle etc.

Thank you! Glad you like it. And holy crap, you are correct about audio manager!! I was sure I had tested everything, I can't believe I missed that...

Not a problem man, its relatively minor IMO, since I can open WM or TCPMP. (or install Core) Just a minor annoyance I figured I'd mention.

Just so I can make sure also, any known issues with updating via Sprint? (Such as the PRL?) I know some ROMs have caused issues if people try to update, so figured I'd ask.

Oh and one other thing, would it be possible to add in MS Voice Commander in a future update. Don't beleive its too large of a file, but really helpful in areas where hands free is mandatory.

I agree. I live in Cali where hands free is not optional. Here you go if you don't have it though. The cab is floating around all over this site.
