I know that NRG did some light customization with his pheonix rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517296
He was able to put the slider at the bottom and the time and such at the top, but other than that there hasn't been any other customizations that i've seen. As far as power goes I've kept my phone locked for a while and havent noticed any power drains. I would assume that it would be far better than S2U2 since with the winmo 6.5 screen you just have a lock screen being switched out for the today screen, where S2U2 you have a completely new program running on top of the os.
Does anybody know a battery indicator in percentages for this type of phone
thank you in advance
Try mobady. Shows you the percentage, voltage, temperature of the batery
As for the taskbar icon, you can try this one.

On my phone (TOUCH 2) works very well.
Thanks for your reply;s
Battery % indicator
Or this one......
Batt enhancer
Tried it, nothing works anymore, had to give a hard reset
hmm, strange....
Another option is "green battery fix" I used before aswell without any problem and now I have "battclock" which gives a bit more work to configure with registry settings......only do when you know how to handle.....

Does having the weather animation turned on for the Sense time/weather widget drain alot of battery power? Wondering if I should turn it off or not.

Not that I have noticed. Its only when you unlock your phone so I would really think not.
If you want to know for sure, look for apps like android status http://www.appbrain.com/app/android-status/com.AndroidStatus or similar ones. What you're looking for is apps that eat up your cpu so if it ranks up on the list, then you should decide if it's worth having.
Some apps will tell how much battery an application eats as well (but that's not too different than just seeing if it's eating your cpu, since they're directly related).
Hello ,
please help me in following questions
does widgets drain battery?
does live wallpapers drain batter?(more or less?)
does having all installed apps in screen (for example having all installed apps in screens of go launcher instead) drain battery / permormace? (if it does will making folders help or should i remove it?
does having modified screen lock like and theme {http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134657 one of those ) drain battery n performace?
Thanks in advance
anything that is running on your phone requires a battery to power it. widgets are constantly running and therefore drain battery while the screen is on. same reason why live wallpapers drain more battery than regular wallpapers (constantly running). i'm not sure about the number of apps on the homescreen but I would assume that more apps require more power to display them, and having a modified lock requires that the phone starts that program every time the screen is unlocked so it would drain additional battery. i'm not sure whether that would be more or less battery power than a regular lock screen, but you get the idea
First, everything running costs battery life
Widget cost battery life, more if they are synced. BUT energy cost of unsynced widgets is so little you will not notice it at all (less then 1%).
Live wallpapers take alot of battery compared to static ones (approx 1-5% depending on the wallpaper, ~2% for the Nexus S live wallpaper).
Just having the shortcut to an app on your homescreen won't increase battery life in any visible form. I did fill 7 homescreens with 20 apps each, batt drain was the same as w/o any apps at all.
Yes and no, data/information pulling lock screens can pull a bit (like widgets). Usually a themed lockscreen won't take more energy then the stock one though.
If you're really into saving battery life, look into custom ROMs (stock 2.3.4 is hard to beat though!), undervolted kernels and don't use the phone for games. The last tip is ofc not meant too serious, but those games/videos ARE what drains your battery in less then a day.
i m on miui 2.3.5 justed wanted to get clarification
Okey, you could say "since there is stock battery widget you dont need another one". Well you are kinda irght BUT the problem is that i need smaller battery widget. It has to be 1x1 (so only battery in percentage or even only numbers, i dont need " %" and i dont need battery icon). It would be really useful if there is someone who knows app with that kind of widget or can make it just by cutting battery icon on stock one.
Remember please that im talking hear about battery widget that will show smartwatch's battery status not phone's
