After rooting quite a bit of functionality is gained but unfortunately this can sometimes mean battery drain.
To keep on top of what's happening checkout "System Tuner". There's a free version in Market, use "Search Market" app if your Market searching is broke. Browse to "Startups" in the SystemTuner App.
Personnally I have disabled:
com.bn.demomode
Dialer
Docs to Go
Gmail storage
gReader
Reader
Google Talk Service
Dropbox - prefer to start it manually or use Opera Mobile
NewsRob - just in case even though sync is off
WaveFormDownloaderService - not sure what it is, seems to be ok without it
Can I disable:
Adobe AIR
DeviceManagerService - not sure what it is
But haven't disabled:
Download Manager - need downloads occasionally when on WiFi
Link2SD - not sure if required but leaving just in case
LBE Privacy Guard - I use this. A non active permissions manager would be better
Market - I guess it needs to be left enabled...
Sync Feeds - only seems to sync when on WiFi so that's convienient for RSS readers in particular
Settings - need in order to enable/disable WiFi
Now I need to figure out if I can disable:
Adobe Air (might be needed for ebook support & DRM?)
DeviceManagerService
Note that afaik this only disables things on startup, unlike freezing an app. So the app could relaunch. I'll have to investigate. NookTouch battery is very good though even with all this stuff running, being optimised for reading. To diagnose if something is eating your battery use "BetterBatteryStats" to look for wakelocks. The only thing this won't show you is if the Nook has somehow stopped going into deep sleep in the first place for some reason - that would show up as massive battery drain but no wakelocks.
Now, how do I delete & backup to /sdcard - /system/app/Phone.apk & TelephonyServices... I thought it was just a simple removal but I'm getting "cross-linked file"
edit: ^ I remember now. After remounting r/w you have to cp to backup and then rm rather than a straight mv.
Before making any changes I recommend inserting you CWM backup SD card and using the backup option to make a "nandroid" backup.
