I see the same issue with R2A Vodafone/UK rom. The data connection icons and also the activesyn icons (the two arrows) are increased in size.Tested on a standard R1A SFR/France, and it works ! But just a small issue with it: when installed, it has a side effect on my G/H GSM icon. The standard icon for GSM is a small G, the standard icon for HSDPA is a small 3G or 3G+ (depends on the network).
When I use SEX1 BATTERY ENHANCER, the G becomes bigger, and I get no more 3G/3G+, but a H. I'd like to get them back, but whithout removing this app. Uninstalling just works fine for this icon.
I can live with that though. Thanks for the battery icon gtrab
