Default [Q] Need ROM advice

Basically I am looking for a ROM that is barebones, No extra crap installed (Facebook, All those lame widgets, etc) and that is good on battery life!

All I use my phone for is, Texting, Calls, Music, Web browsing, Camera and that's it. Google didn't help me very well.

What's the best ROM for that?

Hey just give you heads up and im sure others will most likely reply with the same thing just search for some roms that will give you what your looking for but for and example and anyone correct me if im wrong but CM roms are like barebones.. Or you can simply remove all what you want out of the rom like uninstalling the apps/apks you can use the script thats floating around called ROM Cleaner. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ht=rom+cleaner

And battery life all depends on kernel for that rom radio&rils etc.. just really all on the user them self.. trust me there is alot of threads with the same idea what you have before this gets locked out.. look around 1st

Ok people here have been asking this same question over and over and over again. What may be awesome to one may be crap to another its all on how you feel about the roms. You need to try out a few for size as far as apps are concerned you can use titanium backup to remove or freeze. Tho we help each other here this is a search and learn sight not a hold my hand and lead me sight. So please search before opening a new thread.
Hmm I think I here Zels footsteps.

BlackICE its based on CyanogenMod it works perfect on
my Inspire 4G, not a single problem in the few weeks I have
used it.

DONATE TO ME
New Mods...please consider closing. We really don't need any more which roms are better type threads.

To everyone else, please just read each Rom description and try them out for yourself. Everyone will like different things.

I'm well aware of search functions and what not, But alot of post I did come across didn't give me much insight for a ROM on my Inspire, Thus why I posted this thread.

Either I did something wrong, Or I misused this forum because as stated, I was unable to find any info on barebones ROMs for my Inspire.

I apologize to have posted yet another "Need ROM advice..." type threads.

What I would suggest is try out a few roms out and get a feel of them but give them about a week of use so you can truly feel them out. Once you find one you truly like or are comfortable with use titanium backup and delete all the apps you want out of it to make it barebone to your liking. But remember dont delete anything that is system critical, if you are unsure of it use titanium backup to freeze app and see if it causes any issues with the phone before you delete it. If it does you can just unfreeze the app. Its a trial and error learning experience we all been there at one time or another. Welcome to XDA and enjoy the learning experience.

I did that with CM7 a while back, Deleted pretty much everything I didn't need.. I uninstalled an app I no longer used (market App) and it bricked my phone for some reason. Right now I have / am trying out Coredriod.

What's a good tutorial or list of system apps (IE: Calculator, Calender, etc) I can delete without bricking my phone?

Sorry can't help you there. But try a google search on htc removable apps. If I recall sometime ago I was able to find a sight that mention removal apps and non removable apps but can't recall it.
Good luck
