Is there any ROM that's basically a stripped down ROM with nothing in it other than what's needed to make Android run (and maybe the default Music, Camera, and Video recording apps)?
I want to be able to install what I want, and not worry about bloat and other apps taking up space and running.
It seems Cryanogen is what I'm looking for, but it seems but to experimental... I'd like to see something based off the latest OTA update...
Nothing like that exists. You can either use CM6 AOSP or stock rooted rom by SteelH/or others.
Use the stock rooted 2.2 go get root explorer and start removing stuff. You can get pretty bare bomes with this froyo build.
I was actually looking for something similar as well... anyone here would care to elaborate or point to a thread explaining what files/folders can be deleted without crippling the OS? I could do that with no problem on winmo, but this is android we're talking about - a completely new os to learn for me...
I too have been asking this for a barebone rom.
Most of the replies I have found throughout the forum has been the same in here, get stock and remove the apps.
But beside the apps - we also want to remove all the preloaded gallery images, wallpapers, music samplers, etc.
the only way I can think of removing this is from opening the (said rom zip) and remove it manually than rezip it.
Maybe im wrong here?
I guess I will post a list of stuff and would love inputs on what can be uninstalled safely through titanium backup:
All the items I have listed has been seen from Titanium Backup ONLY.
From a Stock 2.2 Froyo ROM rooted only (netarchy)

I don't think this is quite it, but you might want to try EvoNeo, by EvoTelos_com. It's a minimal rom based on Sense so it has working 4g. He's pretty much removed all apps.

I have a barebones cm 6.1.2, it has 20 system files...ill post a list when I get home.
K so download cm 6.1.2 and strip all files out but the ones listed below. Keep in mind this wont allow you to do anything but play games and make phone calls. If you want music, mms or photos, you need to leave those apps in. This is what is needed for the phone too boot basically.
Here is the list:
CM\AccountAndSyncSettings.apk
CM\ADWLauncher.apk
CM\CMParts.apk
CM\Contacts.apk
CM\ContactsProvider.apk

By the way, using Spare parts or Android System Info apps, Partial Wake Lock is showing UID 10018 as the top one. But I can't find it to be associated with anything.
Assistance greatly appreciated.
Any reason why all my calls are being answered on SpeakerPhone Mode ?
I have lockbot and launcherpro installed, would either of those cause it ?
Here's a list of everything installed..
Would any of these cause the problem..

happened to me once - reboot your phone?
it fixed mine
Hi. I have a gt7100 and the stock alarm is abysmal. I have to use the stock because it is the only one that works past my lock screen.
Just to clarify - It doesn't activate itself, so It fails to come on. Hence I've gotten up very late on a couple of occasions.
It is definitely on, and is set to repeat every week....
It does work if you set it for 1 minute later and just wait, but if you leave it, something happens which makes it not go off.
Somebody was saying something about programs that could cause this, but I don't have ANY lock screen widgets..... Is that even possible? I don't have widget locker installed.
The programs/services that were running last night / shown by Wheres my droid power (app). This was a long 2 minutes.

No other alarms applications are installed either.
Please help as I just got my old iPhone 4 to use as my alarm (Airplane Mode). Really want to get this problem fixed. Can't stand using the iPhone as my alarm.
Also my phone is on stock Touch Wiz 4.1.1 - Rooted. And I use Nova Launcher Prime 2.0
It's understandable why some people just stick with basic iPhones now!
Has nobody experienced this sort of issue? Alarm has always gone off?
I'm having a lot of trouble with NFC. Trying to enable it in settings crashes settings. Getting to it via the toggle lets me turn it on, but is still shown as off by the toggle. Apps using NFC crash on startup.
I just do not know how to fix it. Before i knew what NFC was, i decided to uninstall com.android.nfc.apk. Unfortunately i cannot restore it from the only backup i have. The installation fails. I can't even install a version i downloaded.
Assume all other NFC related services are disabled or missing, including com.android.nfc.apk
All disabled services as listed by Disable Service
"-" indicates only partially disabled, disabled services shown and separated by ";"
