Cab Style regedits - get em here - requests welcomed

[schettj]

Sorry to pile on with another request, but I just discovered my favorite hack yet. This one automatically closes the data connection after 60 seconds of being idle. Should save on battery life!

Nope. Might cost you some, won't save you any.

The current draw with an idle, connected EVDO session is exactly the same (read that again) as when disconnected. However, the current draw during the EVDO session setup is 10 times higher, and lasts 5 seconds longer, then the draw to come out of standby.

So sure, if you never use your data, turn it off. If you are checking email 24 times a day, and getting 12 weather updates, you will lose by turning it off.

I thought somebody might say that. There seems to be strong opinions on both sides of the argument and I don't know what to think. Here's what I don't understand - if an idle connection uses such little power, why does push email chew through the battery so fast? Is the connection technically not idle with push email?

I know there has to be a way to do it but I don't know how; I want to add items to the today screen since I cleared off all of the useless factory ones. I tether my phone at home and it works great for me so I would like to add Internet sharing to it. I'd also like to link straight to memory in settings(unless someone can give me a workable x out cab, cause the one I tried didn't work) so I can close out background programs more quickly to free up processing power. It would also be useful for me to add the comm manager button for cutting off #777 since I have wi-fi at work, I have the unlimited plan but until REV A comes out for the Mogul(its already in place here in St. Louis according to Sprints website) wi-fi should be faster right?

Here is a cab that will give you an icon to get you right to the running programs in settings.
I use it all the time to shut down programs...

Since I installed the Ultra cab active sync doesn't work, which is fine by me, but how do I get into my phone via pc now? I guess the unlock phone tweak is what did it. I'll be more than happy to get rid of active sync altogether as PIM will do all I need. I just like the explore/mobile device function of it other than that its just a pain in my @ss interfering with tethering.

I will look into this, As I have also noticed that once my cab is installed on a HTC Touch the phone app likes to pop up at random... For the time being you should be able to go into remove programs and pull the entries back out, As I revise the cab up to v.2
