Which themes are you using? Are they iPad specific?
Old themes which are not designed for iPad may drain your battery fast as they often contain poorly written javascript widgets, but modern iPad specific ones should be OK.

 

Have a browse through this sticky in the Hacking section: http://www.ipadforums.net/showthread.php?t=25824

Has most of the popular (and compatible with iOS 5.0.1) tweaks.

Happy tweaking!

You must be downloading with Internet Explorer; it downloads the .ipsw file as a .zip file by default. Just change the file extension from .zip to .ipsw. Whatever you do, DON'T unzip it. Then it should be good to go.

If that doesn't work, try a different browser to download the .ipsw file...

If you use Firefox or Chrome, they will download the file as an .ipsw file - you won't need to change the extension.

To change it in IE, you've got to change your computer to show file extensions, then you can rename the file how you wish (ignore the Windows warning that changing the file extension may make the file not work...).
