I have tried some various custom roms and kernels over a couple of weeks now, but for different reasons i feel most comfortable with rooted stock ROM.
Now I am wondering what system apps is safe to remove?
I'm not using any of the included apps i think, except for Google maps, GMail, POP3 Mail and Internet browser.
I'm gonna use Titanium backup to freeze the apps I don't use and I guess i could just try for myself, but if anyone had a list of safe apps it would be a great help.
Thanks.
Well i'm on LBC but i froze:
Car Panel
Connected Media
Reader
Talk
Wifi Hotspot
Seems fine. No reboot or anything.
You can freeze just about anything, things like music, live and magic smoke wallpapers to HTC sync applications, to app sharing etc.
I'm on LBC and I've cut the apps that were preloaded with by half, there is waaay too much unnecessary bloatware.
Thanks guys, this is my list of frozen apps so far:
Amazon MP3
Android Live Wallpapers
Black Board
Bookmark Widget
Calculator Widget
[STOCKS]com.htc.dcs.service.stock
Data Dashboard
Data Roaming Widget
Dock Mode
Facebook
Facebook for HTC Sense
Flickr
Google Search
Home Screen Tips
HTC Hub
HTC Hub Sync
HTC Likes
HTC Likes Widget
HTC Report
HTC Sense Live Wallpaper
HTC Slide Show
HtcTrendWidget
Live Wallpaper Picker

Magic Smoke Wallpapers
Mail Widget
Messages Widget
Music Visualisation Wallpapers
News Widget
Peep
People Widget
Photo Widget
Setup Wizard
SIM Toolkit
Slate
Stocks
Stocks Widget
Tell HTC
Twitter
Wood
I'm still working on it though so I'm sure the list will be twice as long when I'm done

I will update this post later tonight with screen shots of my favorit widgets. I want this post to include peoples favorit widgets, a description on that or those widgets(sometimes pictures arnt self explanitory). Also what launcher you are using may or may not be neccessary.
Thanks, Thomas
P.S. I will update this in a few hours with my favorit widgets and descriptions on them widgets. Just trying to get the ball rolling already because its mid day here and widgets are a hot topic for people not using sense. Also mods if there is already a post like this you can delet this post.
I'm using the paid version LauncherPro Plus, and heres the widgets I like:
The People widget that LPP includes
Fancy Widget (identical to the htc time/weather widget)
Pandora Widget (pandora radio)
Pure Grid Calendar
Switch Pro (has about everything you could want to see and/or toggle on/off, including 4G, vibrate, battery % remaining, brightness, flashlight, wifi, gps, etc.)
Twidroid
Androidlet Photo Widget (lets you show photos from a variety of sources (think photo.net, pbase, webshots, flickr, picasa, sdcard, etc.) , rotates them based on set time you specify)
Also heres a cool little read:

I like what they wrote here:
Enter DoubleTwist. It looks like iTunes, runs on Windows and Mac machines, and syncs with most or all Android phones, just like iTunes syncs with iPhones. It slurps all of your music and video files from iTunes, and even pulls up your iTunes playlists. (If you're like me, this is of utmost importance.) DoubleTwist has Amazon's music store and Android's app market built in, and it even notifies you when you have music files that aren't compatible with it, because of Apple copy protection. It's not perfect, but it's a huge step forward for a platform that needs a better media juggler. Best of all, there's a DoubleTwist app for the phone itself, so you can easily find videos, albums and playlists. And did I mention it's free?

You mean Twidroyd? lol anyways, can i get a screenshot of LPP and fancy widget, also where i can find them as i didnt see them in the market.
widgets
I like the moreicons widget, so dope keeps any necessary icons on the home page. Running launcher pro w/ 3D, so I have no need for more than 1 screen!
Also have Divi Clock
Hey Guys
I LOVE Jorte - one of my fave apps by a mile.
But the Widgets aren't showing up in my Widget list. I have them ticked in the app - to show them - and have rebooted, but to no avail.
Any ideas? I'm desperate to see what the Agenda Widgets look like.
HTC Desire, non-rooted, Launcher Pro Plus.
Thanks ya'll x
SD Card
Do you have the app stored on the SD card? If so that is probably the problem. You need to move it to internal storage. Most apps with widget seem to have this problem.
Ah! You're a star. Don't know why my fuzzy head didn't think of that!
Cheers

Hey!
I realy like this Jorte app, but recently i noticed big bug in it! It automatically put time one hour back if you are using google cal.!
Can anyone help me fix this?
Thank you!
Hi.
Can someone recommend me a widget to use with jorte so my next calendar entry's show on the homescreen? I like the smooth calendar widget but for some reason it doesnt sync with the jorte app, it will only show the next entry if it stored on the android calendar app ( and i already have set up what calendar app i want to use and that the widget should open, but still nothing) and so i was trying to find something similar to the smooth calendar widget because i don't like the jorte widgets.
Thanks
Hello All,
I wanted to ask about weather widget. I recently upgraded to CM7 now I dont have HTC weather widget on my desktop to the left of the main screen. Is there a way to put this widget in. I tried using add from menu and add weather but it does not look the same. Its smaller in size and not full screen like the stock used to be. I have HTC inspire.
Please help me if you know the solution to this.
Thank you
As far as I know, once you flashed CM7 you overridden the stock HTC Launcher so HTC widgets won't be available anymore. You'll need to search for a replacement on the maket.
Fancy widget is a good replacement. You can also purchase fancy widget pro if you want the animations
You should search for fancy widgets to get the latest version. it's indeed a good replacement for both HTC weather and HTC clock widgets.
As a side note, if you're missing some of the other widgets like contacts, calendar, facebook and others, you can try my new application Android Pro Widgets (search androidprowidgets on the market if you want to, but it is a paid app).
Edit: if this is against the rules please remove it, advertising was not my intention but I now realize it might be interpreted otherwise.
The weather widget (and just about anything that relies on Sense frameworks) are gone in CM7. There are however alternatives/ clones available in the Android Market like and Animating Flip Clock Widget (not perfect but pretty nice).
Thought this rom was gone since it was on Multiupload, but I found it.
Basic stock rooted rom / no bloat.
Simple.

The roms keep rolling in.. looks nice dude.
ill definitely be checking this out bro, thanks for doing this I am glad someone finally did it
Ooh nice, I think I might try this. I'm basically happy with the stock rom, I just hate the bloat & this might just tide me over till CM7 gets here. What kind of battery life can I expect with this rom or is that as yet unknown?

Great question.
I dunno though.
I would think it would either be just as good as the stock rom or maybe better since I removed a lot that could have been running without our knowledge. ??
I am plugged in almost all day long so battery life is never an issue.
Please provide some feedback if you do choose this rom.
I would like to know and I'm sure others would like to know as well.
I like it...

He is. He's sent me 25 PM's going crazy that I removed all these apps.
I think he might actually work for HTC.
Let's just ignore him.

Been running this rom for about an hour now & it's just flying. Very fast as soon as it had a chance to settle down a bit. Nice work!
So i've been using APW for ages, but i've grown tired of the sluggish widget and old-ish user interface (as well as a recent bug on my s4 that shows a blank page when opening tweets).
I've been looking for another app with a combined & scrollable facebook & twitter widget and have come up short. I have tried these:
Hootsuite: Looks really nice, but only seperate Facebook & Twitter widgets (Same widget, but i can only select either fb or twitter)
Seesmic: Just a 4x1 widget and seperate twitter & facebook.
Scope: No widgets at all.
Anyone got any other suggestions?
I am in the same situation and found Wizz Widget but even the Pro version (which I bought over Amazon) doesn't work reliable and the developer doesn't respond.
I would like to see another alternative.
