Root [ROM] Skyraider 3.5 (12-06-10)

I just got SkyRaider installed and so far i'm loving it. The new features, like waking the phone up and\or unlocking it with the trackball are so convenient. It seems to run really smooth and get pretty good battery life. And now that I figured out how to theme sense, I was able to port my own custom theme into it so i'm happy with the look as well.

After using SR4.0 a few days, I found one thing I don't like about it. It has terrible battery life compared to the AOSP ROM I was using. I can lose 4-5% battery life in a few hours without ever touching the phone. On my AOSP ROM, if I didn't touch the phone, I wouldn't lose 4-5% all day (I have an extended battery installed and don't use any apps that need constantly updated in case anyone didn't believe me about my battery life claims).

But that is the only problem I have with SR4.0 right now. Other than that, it's a great ROM and I can see me switcihng back and forth between it and my AOSP ROM quite often. In fact, I prefer SR4.0, but i'm sure the battery life problem will make me switch every so often.

Just flashed 4.2 and I was wondering if there was a mod to have a number percentage for the battery in the status bar. Thanks.

There are many little apps and widgets that add a battery percentage over on the left side of the Notification area. Like you, however, I want to REPLACE the original battery indicator with a number. I had that on my Eris but cannot find it for the Dinc (no, I won't go back!)...

Yea, I have had the percentage with other ROMs and the ability to change how the battery looks. I can't find how to do this with SR though...

I'm also having some trouble with my youtube app FCs. And then doesn't show up in the app drawer until I re download it. Any suggestions?
