[Q] Bareboned ROM

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)
If I didnt mentioned one of the lines in this list - than it is NOT SAFE TO REMOVE.

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
CM\DefaultContainerService.apk
CM\DownloadProvider.apk
CM\DrmProvider.apk
CM\LatinIME.apk
CM\MediaProvider.apk
CM\PackageInstaller.apk

CM\TelephonyProvider.apk
GAPPS\GoogleServicesFramework.apk
GAPPS\MarketUpdater.apk
GAPPS\SetupWizard.apk
GAPPS\Vending.apk

Apps - what they do, what to disable

Is their a list of what the preinstalled apps do, so we can choose what to disable? Most of them are obvious but some aren't.
Although tbh all disabling does is stop them updating, they still run.

heres the list from rom cleaner should help

What is safe to remove on the r800x?

Can someone point me to a list or put a list here of what apps on stock 2.3.3 r800x are safe to remove...after backup ofc...I'm beginning to run out of room and want to figure it out without using Hogwart's Cola rom...for now at least.

Yeah 2.3.4 breaks push notifications, Gtalk, and some other google related stuff. All Verizon apps are safe to remove. I'm using Cola on my R800X and it came with only like 12 apps, so there's quiet a bit of unneeded material installed on stock.

Can be replaced:
(These apps can be safely removed and be replaced by preferred third party apps of the same function.)
Warning: Sony Ericsson's home launcher should not be removed until after another third party home launcher has been installed and properly set up to take over it's function.
Note: Depending on the third party calendar app of choice, it may be advisable to setup your calendars using the default calendar app before removing it.
Note: Most third party messaging apps cannot send and receive MMS if the stock messaging app is removed.
Note: Removing the default clock widget will alsoremove the alarm feature. Ensure your clock of choice has alarms or have another alarm app installed.

Updating of System apps:
Unlike user apps, when system apps get updated, the original apk in/system/appcannot be replaced automatically. Hence the newer version will be installed as a user app in /data/app.
To save space on your rom, the original ones in/system/app can be deleted. Or, you can manually replace the newer ones from /data/app to /system/app.
Deleting the ones in /system/app is recommended since future updates will replace them and saves space on the rom.

Customizing the Custom ROM - Removing the "safe mode" function. DEV HELP!!!

I had a hardware problem, my option button is been pressed and automatically the mobile boots into safe mode, in which i can never install a 3rd party application. I am using a custom ROM, Ultimate HD 4.0 if you can tell me where is the safe mode confd file and how i can remove its function, so that even if the key is pressed when booting, the system should not boot into safe mode.
Your may recommend me to produce the mobile in service centre, but i would like to take this as a challenge , please do help me .!
Thanks in Advance.!

This is Android's built-in feature. There is no way to remove it, just like Windows has safe mode.
I found this - http://www.shaneycrawford.com/2012/01/how-to-get-your-android-phone-out-of-safe-mode/comment-page-1/
They recommend to press other buttons.
Also, try playing with the menu button, so it would not stay as pressed.

Don't post if you have nothing to post, this has absolutely nothing to do with this topic.
