You should be able to turn it off by just removing the LEDEffects Application -- but I doubt it would net you even a 10 minute gain.

Cell Standby: 74%
Phone Idle: 22%
Display: 5%
i'll report back again once it is completely dead.
also curious, android has ads. do these affect battery life?

I think the battery reporting (from my own experience) is a little less accurate in the bottom half than in the top half of the range, for what it's worth.
And I don't think the ads should be a drain unless you leave the screen open to an app that has the ads running. They don't seem to update unless they're in the foreground. (Not 100% sure about this, but I'm trying to remain optimistic.)

Trash your data.img and try again from the beginning. I hate to give that advice (it's sort of swatting a fly with a cricket bat), but unless you use the rootfs that I packaged up, it'll write incorrect wifi calibration settings to the data partition and then it won't work until you delete them; the easiest way to do that is to make sure you've got my package and trash the data.img.

Windows Mobile / Android / And Blackberry (Still in development of course). Its turned into quite the super phone. It made me smile to make a call and the microphone worked! It still has its moments as always cuz its a 528mhz processor. (kinda blah) but it rocks and android rules

Funny, I was just saying the other day to a friend, "It's so weird... I loved this phone when I got it... now I sort of hate it... and nothing's changed. How does that happen?" I love the Android stuff, but damn do I despise the underpowered processor. And I can handle the weird bugs in Android, because it's a project, but the constant weird snafus in WinMo have really gotten old. I'm kind of jealous of a friend with a TP2, and I'm kind of jealous of my other friend with a Vogue running Android.
...maybe this says more about me than about the phones themselves.
