Is a totally stripped down no HTC no Sprint customized wm6.1 rom out there?

Forgive me if I havent searched hard enough, but I havent seem to of found anything like this.

I'm pretty much a minimalist when it comes to operating system/software and hate tons of unnecessary software and services using up resources. My pc's are easy enough as I build them myself, but laptops for example, the first thing I do out of the box is reformat the hard drive and install a generic copy of windows to get rid of the bloat, then go even further to tweak un-needed stuff like disabling messenger, disabling system restore, turning off a handfull of un-needed services, etc. Basicly what I am after is to do pretty much the same with my new Touch....if it's even possible.

What I think would be ideal is a modded sprint 6.1 rom for the rev. a and gps of course, but staying as much as possible towards a plain generic windows mobile install, ie none of the sprint apps (usually downloadable separately anyways), no HTC cube (dont need it/use it either), etc. Just a nice clean simple base system, to which one could add tools and customize on their own. I'd even flash a wm6.0 rom if such an animal exists but not for 6.1 yet.


While I am at it...I know this quick question is not part of this area, but its simple and general enough that I'll just tack it on here rather then post in another section..... with Sprint and GPS....you only need the monthly GPS service or will get billed otherwise only with their telenav app right? Like you can you use it for location on google or live maps, or even use tomtom and the like without having to subscribe monthly or worry about getting charged? I do have data, but no nav on the account, not worth it to me to get nav on the account, and dont want to worry about getting charged for it basicly.
