1: how do you remove the apk from the zip and still use/unzip file?

2: the ones you mentioned that you keep...

com.estrongs.android.pop-1.apk (es file explorer?)

com.google.android.apps.maps. googlequicksearchbox-1.apk (Google now?)

com.google.android.music-1.apk (I have Poweramp. Is there really any purpose for me to keep this?)

com.painless.pc-1.apk (got no idea what this is)

The ones you remove...

Why delete these??

Facebookkatana apk

Googleandroidmaps apk

Google+ apk

Googleandroidgms apk (I don't have a clue what this is)

Google Android street apk (I use Google maps, street, navigation, latitude often but I hate googleoffers)

Google Android videos apk (don't know what this is)

Googlecodewifiteather (why delete very useful app??)

Melodismedomemusicidentefier apk (soundhound? Why delete?)

Twitter apk (don't really use but I like it once in a while)

The rest i know and don't see any reason to keep and love to get rid of.

3: I may have hit a new record with battery (3 days and 4 hours with 9% battery remaining) doing the following (obviously adjusted for items moved from /system/app to /data/app in the latest 2.83) and changing the following in /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh file:

SLEEP_MAX_FREQ="384000"

SLEEP_GOVERNOR="powersave"

(awesome I hope I can figure it out lol)

4: "I remove the following items under /system/app:"

ConnectionsOptimizer.apk - Not sure if this matters much, but I can manage my own connections (is this the people links? Cause I kinda like it. and how do you manage your own connections?)

Facebook.apk (again why?)

FacebookEngine.apk (Facebook engine? Why delete and what does it do?)

Flickr.apk (hate it)

FlickrEngine.apk (hate it)

FriendStream.apk (hate it)

Gmail.apk - I use K-9 mail for all my personal email accounts (much more efficient than Gmail app) and Mail.apk for my work exchange email) (I use Gmail often n never heard of k-9, also I have no need for the mail apk)

HTC_Widget_Watch_3D.apk (can't use it)

HtcFriendStreamWidget_3D.apk don't want it)

HtcSprintService.apk (this seems important why delete)

idlescreen_social.apk (is this the lock screen? Regardless sounds like I'd never use it)

Maps.apk - I use Navigon which I purchased from the Play Store, but you can find one online (see gpsunderground.com) (I actually like Google maps and and how easy it is to star locations, save in contacts, and has a satellite view which is useful for work)

OTAUpdater.apk (this seems necessary)

PolarisOffice.apk - I use ThinkFreeOfficeViewer. I don't think this matters, but it is a personal choice (no idea what this is for I've never opened it but I use documents to go is that the same)

SocialManager.apk (don't know what this is)

SoundHound_Freemium.apk (I like soundhound should I just keep it)

Sprint_DMS.apk (got no idea)

Sprint_Installer2300.apk (again no idea)

SprintZone.apk (I find this app useless if deleted can I still use *2?)

Street.apk (is this the Google Street)

TuneIn.apk (glad to get rid of)

Twitter.apk (I think I'd use this rarely)

TwitterEngine.apk (what's the deal with these 'engine' apk)

Videos.apk (is this the Google Android videos? Again what's the use?)

vtt-sprint.apk - I use google voice for my voicemail app (especially for the transcription) (Google voice for me too glad to be rid of it)

Watch.apk (can't use it, don't know why it's just what the app tells me. Sounds like a Netflix wannabe anyway)

Wiper.apk (very curious as to what this is and why delete?)

As for the ones you didn't delete there's just too many to mention and if you are keeping them then I probably would too.

Except for swype. Like to get rid of that.

One last thing, I'm using link2sd ext3 2gig partition and nearly every time I reboot it has a mount script error and I gotta reboot again. I also added 1gig of swap using swapper 2 but I can't tell if it helps or not. Lately using antutu my benchmarks have been lower and I don't know if it's the swapper, swappiness, or overclocked to 1.8 n overvoltage. I thought all that would improve my phone.

I think that covers it. I know it's alot and hope you don't mind helping me out.
