No, your help was appreciated. No way in hell did I have time to type all that mess up, lol

Its not the free RAM that is important... You started to catch on with your second statement... Here is my view point which is rooted in immense development experience over many years (sorry not trying to sound cocky but its :D)

More RAM means less apps running taking up CPU cycles. Less CPU cycles goingto useless garbage means more CPU cyles going to what matters to you such as your Facebook app or your Need 3 Speed video game (Just examples... but you get my drift though) And that, my friend, is what truly matters! Overall performance will be increased!

Now as far as battery... Yes, less apps running means better battery but that goes hand in hand with less CPU cycles. But... As far as the volatile memory saving you juice with less apps installed... Unlikely because the RAM doesn't go "idle".. It still keeps clock cycles pulsing through it therefore using juice. And if it did go idle (which it may?)... I don't think you would be able to measure the actual energy saved. Note this is not a fact... This is my educated guess. I dont know much about the RAM in the device as no one has ever really asked me about it.

But for sure... You are saving juice and increasing peformance with less apps running due to the reduced load on CPU and possibilities of other functions not occurring like... For example... The Verizon Back up manager checking... That uses CPU cycles, and internet connectivity as well as reading and writing from / to the SD cards. Kill it and you save all around!

I hope that brings light to your question. I tend to ramble on and one... hahahahah.... If not ask and I will explain my thoughts further.

Good ****, huh?

High Five dude! Lets have a contest to see who can make a fully functional device yet have the least bloat? Sound like game?

My ego says you are welcome!

Dude, when I saw that stuff go away... My stress level dropped from very high to medium low... Still itchy for S-OFF but my app drawer is no longer a train wreck!

That is 100% correct!

i posted the entire app list and MrSmith was kind enough to put it into a readable format for normal people, lol... So you can experiment. I put all the files with preceding commands in post #2.

AFAIK your not gonna shut down system process with "pm disable" so it wont matter.

I think you are correct. When I was tearing apart the shipped ROM I didint see any of the CIQ crap that Sprint has. I think we are clean but until I get more time to play (I have many devices and ROMS that are in a constant state of development) I cant tell you with 100% certainty that we have no spyware.

Yep!

No, I didn't notice that.

I thought that was funny, I dont care who you are!

Yeah, you can... Thats how SU gets installed... The line in the script is:

@files\adb push files\Superuser.apk /system/app/.

BUT... We all know what will happen... It WILL go away after a reboot. So yes you can but it wont last.

Alright guys... This has been fun! I am glad you are all enjoying this tool. Im gonna check in later on tonight... I just bought a new carpet remnant for my Dev office and I have to tear down "The Command Center" for a while to get this thing installed....

Later
