Many people have reported less than optimal battery life, on the Adam. This is a firmware update just to remove the Phone apps that are causing the unnecessary battery drain. You would run this like any other firmware update. I figured that some people would prefer this over running a tool like ADB.You can download the update.zip containing this fix @ http://www.mediafire.com/?va681gou8n5lbvd.
This can be run on stock, or any stock-based mod (like EDENx). Non-stock mods may not work, given that this is removing odex files that other mods may not use.
You can test this after-the-fact by going into Settings -- About Adam and checking what is using the battery. "Cell Standby" should no longer be seen.
