Calkulin's Bare ROM Converter v2.1 [ Works on any GB & ICS ROM ]

Calkulin · Mar 7, 2012

I decided to create this converter zip that deletes most non essential apks from the system partition, this is like my old Remove Sense zip that I did a while back on the EVO. This will work on any GB & ICS ROM

Must be flashed through CWM

thanks calk

alot of wasted memory on alot of the oem apps and programs

Don't want to flash FB27 kernel.
Will wait till we get repack for FC06.
But it's a good list. Now we won't breack anything trying to figure out what apps can be removed safely.
Thanks a lot.

latinmaxima · Mar 7, 2012

Thank you! I will be flashing this soon as well.

wbyrd · Mar 7, 2012

If I flash the FB27 kernel so I can get CWM, can I then flash your format all, flash FC06 ROM, flash modem FC05, and this Bare ROM Converter all in one session?

Dchibro · Mar 7, 2012

Oh very nice! Although, I guess this is an all or none deal eh? In other words, if I want the digital clock for example, I'd have to push it back after flashing. Still a big time saver though. Thanks for doing this Calk.

Edit - Oh nevermind. You can just pull out the updater script, modify it and put it back. Sweet!

Great.. Thanks man..

This is useful, thanks.

Since there are still many more applications that can be removed (depending on the users preferences), can you share any insight on how to determine the impact of removing an application? I mean, trial and error obviously, but are there specific errors to watch for in logcat? Or anything along those lines? My goal would be to remove as much as possible from the ICS builds, but still maintaining essential functionality.

Mr Calk, every day you come up with some so simple and yet so useful lol. Much appreciated! thanks

slick4mitch · Mar 8, 2012

Calk, would this make a stock room just as bare as your barebones roms? Or more? Or less? Thanks.

Noob alert!

Is there a Windows application that can open this script for modification or will it have to be done in Linux?

Once you extract it from the zip file, you can edit it in Notepad or any other text editor, and then put it back into the zip file.

Awesome.

I see Nova Launcher in here, though. If I'm already running Nova, will it uninstall my launcher?

Download the complete rom then pull it out of the zip in the system/app or some kind person (I don't have it) can post the apk and you can just push it to system/app.

It will only remove the one in my ROM, if you installed it from the Market, then it will not remove it
