[Windows Mobile] JLowe:
I am opening a thread here concerning the issue what packages

can be removed and what not.

It would be great that everyone can share his knowledge.

I start with my little knowledge as a beginner of cooking what I removed until now from my Vistang kitchen

which originally based on Chuckys Kitchen [recommended for HTC HD2 Beginners]

Some hints:

1. You can compress some EXE-files in the Kitchen with UPX

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6466637&postcount=15

I compressed i.e.:

AudioManager_Eng.exe

Camera.exe

CommManager.exe

HTCAlbum.exe

HTCPhotoPicker.exe

opera-wince5-armv4i.dll and Opera10-armv4i.exe

ppt.exe

pword.exe

pxl.exe

2. use older browsres.192.dll from WM 6.1

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6466637&postcount=15

3. Using older Office-version 2007 (for me more handy concerning text selection and smaller)

4. Delete Pictures & Wallpapers you are not using

Exchange some png with lighter versions pictures (OEM & SYS)

if you don't know how to edit the associated scripts,... ;)

welcomehead.192.png

LEO_animated.gif

Grass.jpg

Leaf.jpg

Water.jpg

also the Classic-Theme png (deleted)

See also this great tip here

Another possibility is compressing all png-files (lossless!)

i.e. with PNGout

you gain a lot of space ;)

5.Word mobile & WM6.5.X

For Pocket Word are these packages necessary:

-Riched20

-Webview

otherwise you get an Error when starting Word mobile (thanks for the hint to Akira99 !)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6470759&postcount=1276

Also I think the (new in comparison to WM6.5) SYS-package "System fonts" are necessary

6. Modify

initflashfiles.dat

config.txt

7. MSXIPKernel

Deleting

Hd.dll (for M$ debug)

Mencfilt.dl (is for storage card encryption)
