I think this is my first post :) Dek clock

I've rooted this joker (HTC HERO) and am loving it. I've removed the traditional apps and their widgets (if they have em)

Sprint TV
NFL Live
Nascar
Footprints
Voicemail
Vociedialer
IM
Stock
Flickr
bookmark
Sprint Navigation

and a few others that I can't remember. Have rebooted and all works well.

however, I'm still not happy :) I'm looking to get rid of the following

-Desk Clock

(Also) If I remove a programs widget will it effect the program? Such as remove the weather widget, but the app still show up and work in my apps screen? Or, remove contacts widget but not effect my actual contacts?



anyone know the file for that? I can live with it on my phone, but I'm on a mission to remove it !!!!

I hope this is not a stupid question and maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

The app space changes can be seen by typing df in a terminal or adb shell for apps in the /system directory.

df
/dev: 97816K total, 0K used, 97816K available (block size 4096)
/sqlite_stmt_journals: 4096K total, 0K used, 4096K available (block size 4096)
/system: 174080K total, 174080K used, 0K available (block size 4096)
/data: 163328K total, 107884K used, 55444K available (block size 4096)

Certain programs (busybox) need to be installed under /system and my phone (Alltel hero) had no space available in /system. I removed Openoffice.apk (with no ill effects) and got back right at 2 MB of /system memory. I was then able to install Busybox and get vpnc working.

For the post about Openoffice, I removed because half the files I tried to open, it wouldn't open and it is only a viewer (not that I would edit that much on the phone anyway). It was also one of the bigger apps that seemed like it would cause the least damage.

just wanted to say thanks. just deleted a ton of apps and rebooting now. last time i did this i used cmd. root explorer is 10000 times easier.

to delete the htc weather app. what all do i have to get rid of. these are all the ones i have on my phone that say weather:

DCSWeather.apk
DCSWeather.odex
Weather.apk
Weather.odex
WeatherAgentService.apk
WeatherAgentService.odex
WeatherProvider.apk
WeatherProvider.odex
WeatherSyncProvider.apk
WeatherSyncProvider.odex

also what is FieldTest.apk and FieldTrial.apk? and i read a couple pages back that Mms.apk can be removed if youre using chomp? anyone confirm this?

also what are all the files needed to remove Places, Navigation, Latitude, and Desk Clock.
and if i remove em will any of them mess up my Google Maps, I use it for GPS.

thanks again

Yea places and latitude are need other two aren't.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldnt you just go like this?

su
remount

I haven't used the emulator in a while, so I may be off with my commands, its just too easy for me to adb.

system updates

---

ok so i am a little below the curve on all this phone stuff. So please pardon my question if it seems dumb.

Is it possible to do a system update on my sprint htc hero after I have rooted my phone and removed some the the spring garbage? I didnt know if doing that would just restore everything that i just removed. Any input or pointing to the answer would be great. Thanks.

Can the sprint Voice mail app be removed? Especially this new one??
