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

CM\Superuser.apk

GAPPS\MarketUpdater.apk

I have searched all over the place but I cannot get WP7's default calendar app to sync the google calendar labels. The main calendar will sync. Anyone figured this one out or it's just not possible?
It is not currently possible. In fact, it appears to only support one calendar per any type of account, including Microsoft's own Live/Hotmail. Let's hope February is the answer!
Can someone list out the native default applications(name and if possible version) used in HTC desire HD ? please.
Thanks in advance.
I'll do that later today once I restore my original ROM
sadly there is no File Manager pre-installed on DHD

I think that's all of them
The applications above are for the Android 2.2 version of the phone.
# For 2.3.3 the following was changed (as far as I remember):
- Blocked Callers was removed from the menu
# For HTC Desire HD with Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 the folowing are present:
Adobe Flash Player
Adobe Reader
Amazon MP3
Calculator
Calendar

So, for 2.3.5 these were removed:
- Car Panel
- Desk Clock
- Learn More (just a URL shortcut)
- Search Anywhere
- Search People
- Videos
..and these were added:
- Task Manager
- Watch
What's your favorite Contacts / People Widget? (HTC Sense replacement)
The HTC Sense Contacts / People widget is probably THE BEST one I've seen to date.
It looks really clean and polished!
Can sync with groups you already have set up on your Gmail Contacts
It *does not* cause ANY WAKE LOCK problems!
It syncs FB updates
It only syncs when you view the widget, hence, no WAKE LOCK issues!
Has anyone found anything that comes close to this? So for, I've found "Android Pro Widgets" but it's not quite as polished or FB friendly as the HTC Sense widget.
= DELETED =
That also has a widget AND is integrated with Google Now (i.e: If I schedule an appointment in the calendar app, it will show up on Google Now and tell me when to leave, etc.). Please do not say Google Calendar as I already have that and that's what I wanna replace cause it's boring as heck! Thanks.
