After a power cycle the "eDGe idle" entry in the battery use table is just 4% instead of 78%. I'll see if this translates to longer battery life. My son said it gave him a couple more hours on his rooted Nook.
hrmm.. I'm curious as to how you guys are deleting these files. I was able to copy my phone.apk and telephony.apk files to a 'backup' directory but I am unable to delete them. I'm assuming it's because they are system files but I can find no way to change their permissions.

What am I missing here?
