Damn, I didn't even notice that! Is it a VetVito ROM of some kind?

Actually, I've made only minor changes, and I'm working on getting things improved. You can find LOTS of information in a thread here on ppcgeeks... which I can't seem to find right now. It had been locked and unlocked a couple of times, I fear now it may have just plain been removed. I went back 35 pages and didn't see it there...

EDIT: I'm an idiot, the thread is on the first page. It's been cleaned up and consolidated, the information should be much easier to find now.

So I'll just supply a little information

First:

I will be changing these icons! I don't take any credit for them either.

I dislike the speaker icon, I've found better, and it'll (eventually) be replaced.
I think the signal icon is ok, but needs some adjustment. I am going to be changing the bar colors (1 bar = red, 2-3 bars = yellow, 4-7 bars = green)... Also, the arrows for data transfer will be changed, they're blue when idle, and purple when transmitting.
The Ev/1x icons are ok, I don't totally like the background, I'll think about it, something simpler would be better.
The notification icon is fine by me, so that will stay

There is also a simple battery meter, I don't like the overly complex ones.

Here's a screenshot.



So, here are the files necessary to set it up exactly like this, I've included a readme.txt in the zip file, but I'll put the contents here too.

Installation instructions:

These need to be installed in -some- sort of order to get the desired result. You do not need to soft reset till all changes are complete.

1) Install sdkcerts.cab
2) Install nuePowerDriverCDMADiamond-100-v1.00cab.cab
3) Install nuePowerCPL-152-v1.52-cab.cab
4) Install Taskbar Icons v2.cab
*NOTE* If you stop here, and soft reset, you will have an interesting set of icons, and a battery meter in 1% increments... I just use TaskbarIcons to change the start button, since I don't have files around for it
5) Install FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly.cab

Now go into the Files to be moved folder

6) Move (NOT COPY) all of the files within to the \Windows directory, overwrite when prompted. You will need to use TotalCommander or Resco Explorer for this, the stock file manager will not work (nor will attempting it from a PC)

Now finally, soft reset. All the changes you have made will show up.

File descriptions:
sdkcerts.cab - Allows you to change certain icons (primarily, battery icons)
nuePowerDriverCDMADiamond-100-v1.00cab.cab - Driver for battery meter that enables 1% increments (see nuerom.com for details)
nuePowerCPL-152-v1.52-cab.cab - Control panel for the battery meter, allows a little better control and also enables the 1% increments (see nuerom.com for details)
Taskbar Icons v2.cab - cabified version of sdkcerts that does what you are doing manually basically, the icons we are keeping from it are the speaker icon, the notification icon, and the start menu icon. If you like the stock for those, don't bother installing this
FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly.cab - Simplified battery icons which have 1% display support, I think for the battery meter, simpler is better!

\Files to be moved
BT Discoverable.bmp - bitmap image for bluetooth icon
BT On Mode.bmp - bitmap image for bluetooth icon
BT Stereo headset.bmp - bitmap image for bluetooth icon
CDMA_RSSI_PPC.dll - Signal icons!
GPS-icon.bmp - Icon for QuickGPS errors, you'll probably never see this, but hey, why not
Stereo headset.bmp - bitmap image for bluetooth icon
tapres.192.dll - Ev/1x icons!

Enjoy I'll save your guys names and send you a PM when I get around to changing the icons and cleaning up this whole process.

Mines Oct 20, and I am still waiting for a replacement due to cracks on the chrome out the box.

Mine is 12/9. I've had the squeaky back, unevenly lighted keyboard ( left side is not lighted at all), and screen is hard to touch around the edges. Maybe I'll take it in, but these issues I can live with considering what this phone can do

That's about normal. No point in exchanging.

Have you made any long phone calls and noticed it overheating? I would buy the Pro again, despite it's other drawbacks, assuming it didn't overheat anymore...
