Default [REQ] ROM without Manila

Has anybody considered cooking a ROM without Manila? It would make the device lighter and allow people to install any UI they fancy.

You can just disbale TF3D in your stock ROM and you will left with windows 6.1 standard OS. Then you can install and use any UI you facy.

Yes, that is a well known method of disabling Manila. However, what I was asking was for a ROM without Manila like the ones that have been developed for the Diamond and other devices.

can somebody create a lite rom?
one without all the unnecessary apps but provide .cab for our own installation and customization???

all the roms available come with at least 1 app which i don't use... so its a matter of remove this useless app and add another... so no point for me to flash another rom...

That is exactly what I was getting at when I made the initial request. A ROM with only the very basics in it like the ones Bepe used to do for the Diamond.
