Clean and Simple with new Kitchen?

[Jeff Kirvin]

Before I start building, here's what I have in mind for the new ROM. Take the stock kitchen, and:

REMOVE
Transcriber
Windows Live
MSN
FWupdate (I think we're beyond OTA updates from Sprint, don't you?)
Office 2005
Terminal Services
Remote Desktop

BTW, all that comes out of the SYS folder. Whoa! Dangerous! (not really)

ADD
Office 2007
Crossbow dialer
HTC 10-button Comm Manager
HTC 6-button Home plugin (modified)
HTC default theme
HTC Task Manager
HTC Audio Manager (less RAM usage than WMP, and matches the theme and other HTC stuff)
Esmertec Java
Internet Sharing
Live Search 2
Phone Codes
WM5torage
ExtROM Unlocker
And of course, my "special sauce" registry tweaks

On the bubble:
Handyshopper
1-Calc Lite

Anyone got a problem with that?

[markppc6700]

nope

is there going to be a speeddial button?

[Jeff Kirvin]

There are picture speeddials in the Home Plugin from HTC. I've personally found voicedial to be more trouble than it's worth, and would prefer not to include Cyberon if I can get away with it.

[Jeff Kirvin]

Also, the installer will be packaged with a blank ExtROM partition. Two reasons for this. One, no chance of accidentally running those outdated CABs since they won't be there (although I'm removing the AutoRun OEM, so they wouldn't be automatically installed anyway). Two, when you run the Unlocker in your Programs folder, you instantly have another 10MB of black space to put stuff in. w00t!

sounds great, but do you have a CAB version of windows live or windows messenger, i personally like using messenger since all of my friends are on it.

[nkawal]

also what about the youtube videos hack....

Needs:

Total Commander
LVM Top Bat


Wants:
BT Audio
Remote Desktop (use it for server emergencies)

Thank you for your consideration...

[cordodor]

yeah, remove cyberdial, but please include 1-calc lite. although i can always install afterwards. Looking forward to grabbing the next "generation" Kirvin Sprint ROM

[Jeff Kirvin]

I will be including TCPMP with YouTube, Total Commander, and Vista Battery Gauge (which takes up the least amount of resources of any of the battery meters I've seen).
