[reprod]

I'm interested in this also. I supposed modified folders can also be pushed as part of a flashable theme but I am not certain.

For the sake of smoothness, battery, compatibility, etc. I try to stay as stock as possible (with the exception of themes). I prefer to see less items running in my services list if necessary. Apps won't cut it for me. I know there is a way to theme them. We just need someone who has gutted Android to tell us.
