barebone experimenting

First of all, baadnewz, thanks for oa beautiful and well working rom. And I totally respect your (or anyone else's) choice to ignore this post. I'm not expecting anyone to wast their energy on dummies like me. I will keep on searching and trying on my own anyway.

:)

Used leeDroid for a long time but this rom is fantastic.

I am a noob, but not a stupid one. This is the first time I post, after having done my own experiments, testing, searching, reading, learning (I hope) and of course, failing a lot. I'm addicted to deleting apps I don't use.

I work in the area of personal development and I research a lot, so I use my desire as a pure work tool with Docs2go, ezPDF, iReader, PowerAmp, SpringPad, ThinkingSpace, Dolphin HD and TextEdit as my main apps plus helpful apps like AdFree, AutoKiller, BookmarksToSD, BrightnessControl, DesktopVisualizeR, DropBox, LaunchKey, QuickSysInfo, RootExplorer, SetCPU, SuperUser, TitaniumBU, WirelessTether and obviously XDA. Occasionally I download a game but if I'm not using it enough I uninstall it after a back up with Titanium for possible later use.

Other than that I love sense, so I leave the Calendar (+widget), FriendStream (+widget), HTC-Mail (+widget), News (+widget), settingsWidget, WorldClock (-widget), PhotoAlbum (-widget), Messages (-widget), People (-widget).

I also have a few apps like barcodeScan and stuff, but no big space user, except Adobe Flash (do I really need flash if I don't watch film online?).

I think this was all... Yes, everything else is deleted from the zip file, including everything in the resource catalog (wallpaper and stuff) - I only use the wood skin and a wood wallpaper. I deleted some fonts and replaced those with dead files with the same names (stupid maybe). Deleted clock widgets and slideshow. Deleted all media files except for one of each. I also deleted all boot animation zips. I tried to delete libraries that looked like they were connected to apps I deleted, but not anymore. I'm not sure if this was the season, but different functions stopped responding, so I try to not touch lib files and files I don't know. Anyway, all this worked until I tried to do the same with a clean wipe 1.9.5 ? Big problems all the time!? I also tried flashing 1.9.5 on top of 1.9.4. but this worked much as bad. So I'm back on my 1.9.4 restore point...

I love to free up as much memory as possible, at the moment: Internal Storage 117mb, System Storage 77,5mb and Memory 206mb. I believe this is pretty good,or!?

To take some advantage of your latest rom baadnewz, I flashed 2.6.32.29-insertcoin-kernel and lower_voltage_UV_flashable on top of my "barebone" 1.9.4 - donno if this improves anything really, but now everything is working like heavens....

I have tried some kitchens and done some adb, but the kitchen bit feels wrong as long as I don't really understand what I'm doing and what's happening behind the scene..

So, in other words, I have a very stripped down iNsertCoin rom, and I will keep on trying and searching/learning more....

My big question is:

Is different file/apps/scripts/lib and more, dependent on each other, so deleting some will lead to loops and/or errors/fc? Can I edit code/script to support everything I delete?

Is there a place where dummies like me can learn the basics about Android programming, so to be able to understand my question before this one? And YES, I have been looking for this for a long time with no success...

Keep up your brilliant work baadnewz, and thank you so much for all your effort!
