jschurawlow: actually it is not a waste of space.
Let me explain, at one point it was my goal to make a slim Rom with the bare minimal. I then found out this was pointless as the Rom takes up the same amount of space regaurdless of what you cut. For instance, If I made a slim rom and you installed spb backup, the same amount of space would be taken if you installed it on this build as the install is using storage space (where the rom is, well the rom space).
My rom nests all files in the windows directory so nothing is copied to storage. So what does this maen for you, well there are two options you can run with:
1- You could extract my rom, copy in your bits and then repack it and be good.
2- you could just copy your registered backup.exe into the windows dir (thus only taking up the exe's size in storage space)(also note copying a file over a rom file will mask whats there. You can del your copy but not the original, but when called, the copied file is used in it's place) and use the embedded suporting files that are already in place, and have a it running as a full version. Same can be done with xcpuscalar.
Now as to the other trial ware. Just turn them off or remove them from startup. You can then replace them with any utilities you want. Again this will use as much space as if you did it on a bare bones rom (the rom is a fixed size). The only way to save space is to embed your apps into a rom like I did and why you don't see a bare bonse rom out there.
