this will be my first smartphone, currently rockin with the alias 2

Batt saver apps tend to just kill your batt more. (from my personal experience). I am running my incredible on launcher pro with no task killers. I would say turn off the animations and set to brightness to low for starters.. Turn off location also if you're not using it. I'm sure the other NT members will chip in. But if you have more questions, feel free to PM me.

Just found another text clock widget on pocketnow. Looks pretty good:

If you’re looking for alternatives to traditional clock and battery widgets, here are some options that may fit the bill. Out of XDA comes Clockr, a new text-based clock widget designed for the true minimalist. Instead of dressed up numerical digits, the numbers are represented in their respective word forms. So, the time 12:34 would actually read as “twelveTHIRTYfour,

With 16% left, i know i couldve gotten atleast an hour more with that

How did you get your android system % so low? Mine STAYS over 50%. It's charging now, but I'm gonna post the stats later. Also where are you all getting wallpapers from? I need something new, the ones preloaded aren't cutting it, and anytime I take something from the sd card the pics are zoomed in crazy.

Ill try it 2morrow and see if it works since the season starts. Just checkin to see if anyone else had any info on it.

Same thing here. Hoping it starts working correctly tomorrow.

Still not working as of this morning but we will see. It doesnt really matter that much because of ATDHE but it would be nice to have a one stop app for all the games, stats, highlights and standings. Im sure something will come up if the demand for the app is there.

Droid X owners, is there any way to change the color of the status bar on top of the screen without having to root? I'm looking to change it to black.

No. Only a custom theme or metamorph will do it, and you need superuser permission through root.

This method helped the battery and other things on my phone. 
Update PRL- go to Settings, about phone, System updates and click on UPDATE PRL

Update PRIFILE- Same as above, but the last step is UPDATE PROFILE.

Turn on Airplane mode and leave it on for 30 seconds. - Hold the power button and the click on the airplane mode.

Turn it off after 30 seconds- Hold the power button and click on the airplane mode

Download Task Killer- go into the app store and download it. Its free. 

NOT A MUST but I did it- I downloaded battery indicator by DASHAN (the free version)

Wait about 24 hours so it kicks in. My Android system is at 3%. 

Hope this helps you.

I'm a little hesitant to root but if that's the only way, then I'm going to have to bite the bullet and try it out. Thanks.
