Actually my battery life is very good on this ROM. Here's a couple a things that I do to improve battery life:

- Turn off bluetooth when you don't need it.
- Use the Sprint Mobile email (if you are on Sprint). It is more battery efficient because it only establishes internet connections when there are new messages versus the standard email app that regularly connects to check for new mail.
- Turn the brightness down to half or lower.

You forgot to mention the worst battery hog feature of this ROM...
- Stop obsessively showing off your phone to everyone around you.

...........and buy the 2400 mah extended battery, no problems with battery life.

I have upgraded to this rom and it is good for what I need it for . my only problem which has occurred and the only way I have been able to correct it is by installing the rom again but the problem persist. the issue I have is with the camera when I try to take a picture or video about a quarter of the screen is frozen with an image of the home page. it also freezes all functions such as zoom and the close button. the only way to exit is by pressing the end hard key. what can be causing this and how do I fix it. the only program that I have installed that's not included in the rom is smms and skyfire

anyone know where to get the latest radio at? Am I even allowed to ask? lol
