Im going to use the script. I dont know why I just want to remove as much as safely possible. Id like to even remove the signal icon from the status bar from the top of the screen too. I dont know why. I just do.

Note 2, yeah son!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
In CM10.1 there's a way to disable the signal bar but it doesn't work with airplane mode on. It sounds like you're being obsessive about cleaning up the apps without a real need. If it's to speed up the ROM and improve battery life, it could help to a minor extent.

Off topic, since this is a wifi device, what is your primary phone? Is it the Note 2 that you have in your signature?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
Yes sir it is the note 2. Perhaps I am being obsessive. I cannot explain why I want to I just do. Not necessarily for the speed or battery. Just as a minimalist thing. If I dont need it I dont want it.

Note 2, yeah son!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DaggerDave:
Here is a list of the apps I removed without any problems:

ADWLauncher.apk (replaced with ADW Launcher EX in /system/app)

Androidian.apk

Calendar.apk

CalendarProvider.apk

CMWallpapers.apk

Email.apk

FileManager.apk (replaced with ES File Explorer in /system/app)

FM.apk

MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk

MMS.apk

PicoTts.apk

Protips.apk

RomManager.apk

Torch.apk

TtsService.apk

VisualizationWallpapers.apk

I am pretty sure you could also remove the following:

AndroidTerm.apk (though it is useful, so I wouldn't)

Calculator.apk

Contacts.apk (possibly required for gapps, but I don't thinks so on GB)

ContactsProvider.apk (same warning as Contacts.apk. Remove both or neither)

CMUpdateNotify.apk

DeskClock.apk

DSPManager.apk

LiveWallpapers.apk

LiveWallpapersPicker.apk (won't be able to use any live wallpapers)

Music.apk (if you are going to use a different music app)

SoundRecorder.apk (not needed for mic input, just a recording app)

ThemeChooser.apk (won't be able to use CM themes)

ThemeManager.apk (same as above. Remove both or neither one)

VoiceDialer.apk

I would not remove any of the others. You might want to leave most of them, they won't hurt anything, since they don't come close to filling the /system partition anyway. Like I said in the last post, I just rename them one at a time adding .bak to the end of the file name (Contacts.apk becomes Contacts.apk.bak), then reboot and make sure nothing is broken. If there are no problems I delete them, or move them to a backup folder on /sdcard or on my computer in case I need them later. If you have a problem, try wiping cache and dalvik cache in CWM. If the problem persists you can always fix with ADB or reflash the rom.

Edit: Also, here is a link to a minimalized set of Gapps. Only what is needed to install the Play store, and libs for other gapps in case you ever need to install them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
Im fine tuning right now. I keep deleting something thats causing a google.framework force close. Ill try that gapps package you linked to. I know it seems dumb and I dont know why im doing it. Just curious I guess. Its something I just gotta do I suppose. Thanks for the help. Daggerdave ive been reaading up on linux on linux.org. gonna read a bit more and see what itll take to load something onto my netbook. Guessing itll be a live version running from a usb drive until I see how it does on it then perhaps ill move it over as the only os if it runs well.

Note 2, yeah son!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DaggerDave:
Not dumb at all. I have learned a lot by messing things up, then figuring out how to fix them! And I completely understand the 'minimalist' approach. I do the same thing. Remove anything I can that I don't want, and replace it with what I do want. Since there is plenty of room on this rom in /system, I added in some apps that I do use.

Glad to hear you are reading up on linux, sorry I haven't sent any info over. I have been busy with work and kids lately. Definitely try out some live versions and see what you like and what runs well on your netbook. My favorite live Linux is Knoppix, but you might have to mess with it a bit due to Compiz Window Manger (doesn't run well on low power and certain other graphics chips, but sure is neat!) I also like ArchBang, which is based on Arch Linux, my favorite Linux distro. A little more advanced, but Arch is very well documented and has by far the best wiki and forums. It is easy to try them out with a program called Unetbootin, or PendriveLinux. Can't remember which I liked better.

Sorry to the OP for getting off topic. In the future I will try to remember to PM. I hardly ever use it or check it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
Gotta plan this time. Am going to completely wipe and do a fresh flash and run the wifi only script. Then delete a few apps make a back up then delete a few more and make a back up. Once im done ill flash the slimmed gapps you linked to and I should be good from there. Maybe not. I dont know. Daggerdave its cool I u derstand that ive got 4 kids myself. What with work and playing with them and wrestling practice and barbies and bicycles that need fixing. A ninja zx9r needs restoring and a ford freestyle needing a transmission im busy myself. Good thing im used to running on 6 hours of sleeo.

Note 2, yeah son!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
So how can I get a file explorer with root access on my phone without the market? I didnt think about that.

Note 2, yeah son!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
This is how I keep mine updated with no Play Store access. Luckily, it's my favorite file explorer, and the dev keeps it regularly updated. Just grab the latest available (currently r266) and FXRoot.apk which is the separate root add-on, and both are free. http://android.nextapp.com/fx/

Here's the official support thread, so you can keep abreast of development.

[Android 2.1+] FX File Explorer: a "desktop-class" file/media manager
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
I like it also. How after downloading the files to I get it to work?

Note 2, yeah son!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
By installing, and then opening, it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
Yeah I got it. Sorry. If I wanted to modify the cm7.2 zip package I have how would I do that? I can delete stuff just from winrar but cant add back. Like I want to add the fx file explorer and root apks as system apps and romove the file manager they have there since im going to delete it anyway.

Note 2, yeah son!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
Does copying the zip file degrade it somehow? I dont know why but im getting a android keyboard force close and I didnt mess with it. Even after reflashing the rom its still present. Cleared the keyboard cache in manage apps.

Note 2, yeah son!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
What apps did you remove if any? I think it's likely the reason. You may have pulled something critical.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
I didnt remove anything. I just completely wiped the phone and reflashed the rom and its present on start up. This would be a fresh install as I went into mounts and storage and formatted everything. I mean everything. I had to use recovery to mount usb storage to place the rom on the device for flashing. Ive copied the zip a dozen times and am not sure its the original zip I downloaded.

Note 2, yeah son!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Check the md5sum.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Slipdoozy:
I had to uninstall WinRAR and 7zip cause of the same reason.

found out it was "permissions" in windows and I fixed it with installing haozip.

now I can add or remove anything in the rom zip.

good luck.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
Where can I find out what everything does so I can make my own rom? Maybe start developing for the inc.

Note 2, yeah son!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
I'm giving you the main wiki; your answer is somewhere on this site. If you plan on compiling your own ROM, you'll need to read, read, read. So I'm not going to give you the direct link, but let you search a bit to reinforce that reading concept.

Welcom to the CyanogneMod Wiki!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
Thats cool with me. Thank you. Gonna see what I can come up with. Ill read up on it.

Note 2, yeah son!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
am reading. a lot of info to take in.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
I got. Got rid of the most I could without issues and it works well. Here's a pic of the app drawer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
Everything is running great. I flashed the minimal gapps package and am getting a force close about gapps. Only occasionally. I think ill flash the full gapps package and just not use the stuff. Ill give it some more time to see if it continues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixfriend:
Is the gps a known issue on the inc on any rom? I ask because I cant get ulysses speedometer to work. It will only get a gps lock for a few seconds at a time.

Note 2, yeah son!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
Flash a new radio
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
The CDMA radio has no effect on GPS. I'd suggest checking other GPS apps and see if they have the same issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
Try GPS Status from the market. Reset the gps and redownload new gps info and see if that helps.

...sorry...I was on the phone...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
FasterGPS is an app that may help GPS locking. It can modify your gps.conf file with local servers to assist with locking speeds. It can also revert it if you don't like the change.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
Hey everyone. using Tiny's latest GB kernel, what in your opinion, is the best governor to use?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cduru:
Droidboy29. I don't have that issue.

On a side note, are there any other kernel governors with built-in sleep modes like smartass/smartass v2? Are they the only ones?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jjlyons:
In the latest incredikernel there's interactiveX which has a screen off profile, and I believe intellidemand does too. interactiveX has been running great for me on cm7 the past couple days.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sd5500:
Anyone have an issue with screen off during a call? I pull the phone away from my head to take another call, or put in VM password and screen stays off. I have to hit the power button multiple times to get the screen back on. Drives me away from this ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
/Menu/Settings/CyanogenMod Settings/Display/Automatic Backlight/ under light levels check off "use custom" then select "Edit Other Levels..." in the first two changeable rows, under "buttons" change those to 255, click ok, save and apply.

Did that fix it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
Sounds like a proximity issue? Maybe enable screen always on during call? Just guessing here :/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
Looks wicked! I bet you could get even more battery via undervolting the frequencies ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
Here's my latest screenie. It's too god damn cold.

-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cduru:
Very true. However, my phone hasn't really faired well with some UV kernels in the past, hence my hesitation to undervolt the frequencies. Truth be told, some 2 yrs back when I got the phone, I barely got 5-6 hrs; fast-forward to now, getting 12-40 hrs (relatively heavy to relatively modest usage respectively) is levels beyond what I expected. So, I am happy with that.

I would like to know what frequencies you run though just in case I choose to play around with the frequencies later on.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] badogg:
What launchers and themes are you guys using? I love these!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cduru:
Badogg, I am using Go Launcher EX with ICS Sandwich theme.

I have used LauncherPro and ADW Launcher before. However, I prefer the functionality of this particular launcher. It's pretty smooth for the most part, highly skinnable and feature-packed. And oh yeah, it has built-in folder creation. Reminds me of my past miui setup.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
What kernel are you currently using? And I created an under-volt script based on hours of trial and error that has worked for just about everyone. I shared it somewhere around here.. I may have even put it on Chad's page
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
Adw ex, beautiful widgets, gingerbread ics theme, & tha entity icon pack.

-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
Still working for me. Even on the newest governors, which i thought it wouldn't work on.

-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
Yeah I added +50 across the tops to my current settings to ensure that it would most likely work with everyone's device seeing as how all hardware is not made equal.

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

BTW, Incredikernel is an "under-volting Kernel". In fact, Incredicontrol was made specifically for it :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cduru:
I understand that Incredikernel is already undervolted; just meant that I haven't experimented with undervolting his kernels further myself.

I am using the Incredikernel's ICS 12/26 release.

What app would be needed to execute your script?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
Just flash it. Make a nandroid backup first

-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cduru:
IamTheOneTheyCallNeo or watt9493, can you guys send me the script? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
Get the pm?

-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
Sorry, haven't been paying much attention to the thread today. Yes make sure to nandroid first, then flash the script. Incredicontrol is located in the latest Downloads section of Incredikernel.com You can actually set specific frequencies there. If the flash does not work for you, I can pm my settings to you

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

Thanks for taking charge there.. I've been falling asleep in my office all day lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cduru:
Yes, I got your pm and the NeoVolt Agressive script. I will give it a try. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] atsoca:
anymore Kangs...

Will there be anymore kangs?

I want to flash :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
Not in front of the children! lol

[Droid Incredible Android Development] cduru:
IamTheOneTheyCallNeo, your script is running pretty well. My phone is very smooth with it. However, I can't comment on battery life because I have been playing with Google music app: streaming my music collection over Google's cloud service.

Speaking of which, I noticed that the rom's music app and Google music app on android market look very similar: same icon but different UI. Is it possible to modify the rom's music app to support Google's cloud service? The reason I ask is because I like the transparency and album art on the widget on the rom's music app. Google's doesn't have those features; plus, I would rather have one than two iterations of the same app.

If possible, that would be great. Thanks.

Where's Pons' donation button?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
Right here: PonsAsinorem@Gmail.com He hasn't set up a donation link, but he definitely receives them if you gift a PayPal payment there :)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
can i get someone to test this. https://market.android.com/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.TrafficIndicator <- see if you can install this. if it works please post your build.prop. with pon's kang im having trouble with this app. market says it isnt compatible. but on my dev phone at home it installs and the last nightly CM had. i cant pull the prop because it the phone is at home so please help me out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] infectedorganism:
Using Pons 12/12 kang, the market says my device isn't compatible. I tried clearing market cache and data without any success.

Same here and another member had the problem. I made a fix for it. Just waiting on some people to get back to me.

No worky for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
Device not compatible.. Try downloading it to your Dell Tab and then pulling the apk over and see?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
it downloaded to my dev phone and installed correctly. but that is running a CS beta build. which is sense. it also works on the cm7 official nightly,

[FIXED]

testers came back and said it works. there is something going on with the market and this builds fingerprint.

hmmmmm

so is it over for the Inc. ?

is it over? wil there ever be anymore kangs?

its been so dead in the forums .....

it's sad to see it die down like this

I'm going to try again this week.. I was just having problems at the repo sync part of it.. And you only have to do that once really. Once I get into the groove, I will start putting the kangs out. Just been selfishly working on my Android Tablet lately :/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vwftw:
Here's a fresh one.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49020235/update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-Inc-KANG-signed.zip

Sync'ed today and added MIUI-like battery bar. Cheers!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] atsoca:
the new kang

Is this kang just commits or is it like poon does and have extras?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phaze one:
Nope, it's not.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
LOL Nice play on his question :D it is like Poontab's. It's a kang with 1 open commit added being the miui battery bar
[Droid Incredible Android Development] submarinePride:
I can build kangs but how do you add an open commit to the build?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vwftw:
Sent you a PM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] submarinePride:
Got it! Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bcampbe7:
For what it's worth...

Loaded the latest ROM (12/19) and all is fixed. Gmail sync stays. I was also having an issue with videos that I recorded. It seemed it would record, camera worked, etc. The videos were nowhere to be found though. After loading 12/19, all is well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
My haptic feedback broke today on 12/13. Can't get it back, and I frequently have this problem with cm7

Edit: now its hit or miss. Sometimes it work, sometimes it doesn't.

-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
craziest thing, but it actually works most of the time... Take the phone and hit the back of it a couple times (hard but not too hard) then do a battery pull/Hard reset. Simply doing a battery pull alone won't do it. I read this trick on haptic feedback issues a long time back and crazy enough, it had worked.. every time
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
I dropped it and now its consistent. :D didn't drop it on purpose though.

-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
hahahahahha just needs a pat on the back for good work every once in a while.. It feels unrecognized at times for giving you the best so is at times is "unmoved" by basic commands
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
Lulz. I might have to wipe and reflash fresh. I'm getting a lot of keyboard freeze ups and KB lag.

-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I have that issue on my Inc. Had it for a while. I thought I was the only one. It will work and stop intermittently. What do you mean by hard reset?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
A battery pull while the phone is still on :) in my department it's called a hard reset lol I don't know why, but this silly process always worked. I thought maybe it was the battery pull alone that did it but sure enough.. Didn't work :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
its a hard reset because its forcing the power off. Makes sense now why its called that. Worth a try though now its not my active phone. Just a toy now. Its just the first time I saw a remedy. Probably a drop somewhere caused it.

lol you could have let it go through since "poontab" kangs cm7 as well. I'm not sure honestly if Pons is actively monitoring this thread.. He's been out for some time now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I did a direct kang. No open commits. Most notable change I think is the new ring lockscreen style - holo. I didn't read the changelog really but I built the kang out of request and interest in that one change alone.

Pons, I hope you don't mind me sharing this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SethAC:
Is this okay to just flash over the kang I'm running right now? Or do I need to wipe anything? (Obviously I'd make a backup :P)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I did a flashover just fine. If you want to play safe wipe cache+dalvik but a data wipe shouldn't be necessary.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] submarinePride:
What did you think of the new lockscreen? I built this last night but haven't loaded it yet. I saw that it had new lockscreens and wanted to check them out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
