Google services tend to make use of wakelocks a lot I believe (I think the nlp [network location provider] service in particular), so replacing these could lead to better battery life if the replacements use less wakelocks etc. EDIT: Realis

There are no instructions because the code exec method is not (yet?) public. The exploit is, but not the payload to run applications. There is no announced release date for code exec method, or indeed announced plans to release, as far as I
