Prefer User Customization or Tweaked ROM

[boggsie]

I'd start a poll, but I'm not exactly sure how to do that ...

I was going to start out by saying that I have been struggling with this, but that’s really not the case. I haven’t been doing enough to justify the term struggling.

I have been doing a fair amount of research, etc. and exactly what I am looking for does not exist ... That brings me to this message …

What I really want, is a ROM that includes the absolute bare minimum (or thereabouts) necessary to result in a working ROM / PPC Phone. Something along the following:

BASE = Current Sprint OEM for Touch / Vogue

EXTRACTED or REMOVED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Obviously the goal here is not simply to remove, eliminate or prevent the shortcuts from showing up in the start menu, etc.

The goal is to remove the underlying application and supporting registry entries … while maintaining stability (of course).

This ROM, in and of itself is pretty useless, but it would provide a very good foundation for using User Customization in order to load the prefered applications from an SD card.


Does this approach make sense to anybody else? Would you prefer a tweaked ROM that somewhat satisfied your needs or a bare-boned base, upon-which you could use User Customization to build the exact ROM that you want?
