No, I didn't build the Terminator! But I will build them in the future! :cool:

But first I have to spread my SKYNET ROMs to build up the global network and than I will take over the world! :D

1. Big is not always slow. If a program is not running it will not slow down the ROM. The amount of files in the windows folder (the ROM is mapped to this folder) may slow it down a bit but we are speaking of less than 1% more files and I doubt that you can see any differents. Some programs like Opera are not only in the ROM but copy themself to flashmemory. Thats a wast of memory but if you want Manila you need Opera and you have to live with it (I already managed to switch from "program files" to "programme" and I will try to start it directly from windows folder - this would give as about 10MB more Datenspeicher). AMeBa is one of the programs witch always runs in background any may slow down the phone a bit but I think that this is one of the most essential programms. That directly leads to the next part!

2. Which programms are essential? Some people don't want/need Mobile Office, others don't need games, others don't need internet stuff and this goes on and on. If you want a fast ROM you should switch off Manila. A ROM without Manila wouldn't need Opera, Google Maps, HTC Album, HTC Audio Manager, ...! That would realy make a difference but why should I cook such a ROM? You can just take ChrBecks ROM which is a straight WM6.5.5 ROM with Titanium and no Manila stuff.

As you see in my posting I plan to get rid of some (IMHO) unneeded programms like some of the Office stuff in the near future. I will now add some (IMHO) essential stuff and I asked if unnecessary programs like the 2D-Code scanner should be added. I am not sure if I will ever make different ROMs of one build?! Maybe I make a 101MB Kernal and a 85MB Kernal version. One has more memory and the other one can use GFX drivers and maybe has better GFX performance?!

For the Wizard I had to cook more than one ROM because it only has 64MB ROM and I couldn't have Titanium and HTC Home in the same ROM. I tried Manila once but the RAM was to small as well. And because of the slow processor I made a realy clean version to get it as fast as possible.

If you want a clean Startmenu just start a filemanager (this is essential :) ) and go to "\windows\startmenü\programme" and delete all the shortcuts that you don't need. If the programs are still ROM realy doesn't make a big difference in performace!

But it is good for me to know what people want!

You want Manila and you don't need Games and Filemangers (Total Commander will stay in the ROM ;) ). Anything else what you want or don't want? What about the Office programs and the widget stuff?

@all:

Is anyone realy using more than Word and Excel? Who realy needs Powerpoint on a 320x240 pixel device? An who ever used OneNote and this Sharepoint stuff? We have Opera so I could also delete the IE 6on6 stuff (pIE5 has to stay). Is anyone using transcriber? We have a real keyboard and WM6.5.5 gets more and more fingerfriendly so way should anyone want transcribe which needs the stylus? Has anyone started the widgets more than once? What has to stay and what can be deleted?

You have to tell me or I will cook a ROM that only fits me. ;)

PS: I forgot to say that I added a very unnecessary thing - a HTC Startup Animation! (I hope I can make an animated SKYNET logo for the future! :) )
