[HD2 Android NAND Development] Hammerfest:
PLACEHOLDER

I will be putting a list of items here that can be removed from the ROM.

Don'tbe surprised at some of them if you use them... You can get them from Google Market aka Play Sex Store (such a stupid naming convention)

Guide Key:

X = OP's decision for possible removal or change/replacement

- = Possible removal (something I remove normally)

-- = Something I ALWAYS have and always will remove, a waste of space if you where to ask me...

0 = Something can be outright replaced

Possible removals from ROM:

------------ROM
Applications:

X Apollo.apk, 400KB; OP decision, this can be removed if you use ANY OTHER Music application like Google's or some other custom app
-- CMWallpapers.apk, 7.2MB; Should be self explanatory, if you use your own picture/lwp from market.
-- Development.apk, 100KB; Just a user? Thought so, small, but they all add-up in the end.
- DSPManager.apk, 200KB; Dont use it? use Volume + or have a kernel/rom supporting Voodoo, good bye!
-- Galaxy4.apk, 260KB; See CMWallpapers.apk
X LatinIME.apk 20.1MB; This one is more of a decision for the OP, this contains all supported lanugage layouts/dictionary's, the ICS one at least, shrinks from 14MB to 1.5MB, havent muddled with the JB one.
-- LiveWallpapers.apk, 1.6MB; See CMWallpapers.apk
X LiveWallpapersPicker.apk, 120KB; Another OP decision, does LWP work, or work nicely even?
-- PhaseBeam.apk, 70KB; See CMWallpapers.apk
X PicoTts.apk, 15kb; OP decision again, If you dont use TTS you can safely remove this, the TTS folder (detailed later) and even the GoogleTTS and TTS folder from GApps!
-- Provision.apk, 4KB; If you install GApps, this gets removed in favor of SetupWizard anyway...
-- RomManager.apk, 2.6MB; Doesnt fully work anyway, can be installed from Market... pointless IMHO
O Superuser.apk, 1.5MB; Replace with SuperSU at 1MB... Better again IMHO
- Velvet.apk, 6MB; its replaced by the smaller Velvet.apk from the GApps package.. makes ZERO sense...
X VideoEditor.apk, 4.5MB; OP decision again, never used this on my phone anyway, always on my tablet, dont know if it performs well even
-- VisualizationWallpapers.apk, 160KB; See CMWallpapers.apk
-- VoiceSearchStub.apk, 6KB; This goes for both ROM and GApps, Installable from GMarket

Fonts:

X Non-English.ttf's; OP decision, quite a few MB here

Media:

-- bootanimation.zip, 5.1MB; Your trying to make a LIGHT rom for flashing, do you really have to ask why?
-- video-folder, 6.2MB; See bootanimation.zip
-- alarms-folder, 1MB; My personal alarms folder contains what actually represents an alarm, totalling 130KB
-- notifications-folder, 2.22MB; My personal notifications folder is 100KB
-- ringtones, 10.1MB; My personal ringtones folder is 65KB

TTS:

-- lang_pico-folder, 6.32MB; If you dont use TTS, or you use Googles TTS instead of PicoTTS (or just english at 1.5MB)*

------------GApps
Applications:

-- GenieWidget.apk, 1MB; Just... no...
-- GoogleTTS.apk, 5.5MB; again, if you dont use TTS at all, or use PicoTTS, trash it...
-- VoiceSearchStub.apk, 5KB; Same as above... get if from Google Market if you really want it...

TTS:

-- lang_pico-folder; same as above, except when you install GApps it repalces the ones in the ROM (*except it doesnt have en-US and uses PicoTTS's stuff for that)

And thats the gist of my teardown...

Reported expanded file size of ROM+GApps untouched: 273MB or 286,718,123 bytes, and Size on disk reported at 297MB or 311,525,376 bytes

Repoted expanded file size of LITE version of the ROM+GApps: 198MB or 207,689,409 bytes, and Size on disk reported at 218MB or 229,179,392 bytes

Archive Size differences: 125MB Lite vs 189MB Full (GApps included)

Now, If you where to go through all the apk's and nuke all the extra DPI stuff for other DPI's, as well as language files for anything other then English or your prefered language as well as files not needed/used by the HD2, you could probably shrink it even more... but I just dig through archives and delete files I dont need... I am NO developer by ANY standards!
