Data switch is good if you want to toggle mobile data; we could do that in CM7 but not in the stock ROM on this phone -- unless I missed something? Data switch uses a method I am not familiar with to toggle the data connections off -- it also stops the wireless. This is good for battery.

I'm looking for a good app to keep wifi on after the screen is off as well. I have one that I am testing now.

How did you get the stock GB status bar?

I've been trying to get rid of that LG bullshit since i opened the box.

Like nailzer said, that is cm7 which we currently don't have available for our phone.

I agree that I don't likes LG's icons. They are very large and take up.almost the entire notification bar.

I dont mind the size, in fact I wish the 4G, 3G and 1X icon were more readable when I am driving - wish the battery indicator had a number as well, but i will not try metamorph/ninjasumthingerother until we get a backup :)

Yeah, hat or glasses. You should try it out, both are free on the market.

I second that about Visidon Applock... and I've even tried to fool it.
Works with or without glasses, hat, etc. My son looks just like me, even down to the facial hair, but it won't unlock for him.
I give it 5 out of 5 stars, but just make sure you take many "training" shots of your face in various lighting situations.
Another app I couldn't live without is Gemini App Manager

Where's My Droid
has saved my phone on several occasions, so I should add it to that list too. lol
