I was wondering if I could remove these apps and not have problems with using my phone

Car Home
DSP Manager
Theme Chooser
 
they are baked into CM7. all three are either core functions of Gingerbread OS or Cyanogenmod. removing them WOULD have adverse affects.

car home could probably be removed, but it doesnt harm anyone and there are times it comes in handy (in a freakin car, anyone?) ahaha

DSP manager is the app for controlling the new audio functions of Gingerbread. even if the dsp features arent activated it might help with audio. that includes all audio the phone can produce, period. better off keeping it.

Theme Chooser is the chooser app of the Tmobile Theme engine built into cyanogenmod. i would highly recommend NOT removing this, as even the stock theme has to be applied with it, you have a chance of rendering your phone unusable and having to re flash the rom.


on a side note, the apps you want to remove are the exact reasons i LOVE cyanogenmod, and my biggest reasons for putting it on my OV and upgrading from Froyo
 
kaykay Thanks for the help. The reason why I ask for Car home as in I don't have a car xD

They can all be removed with nothing bad happening. I use the Cyanbread theme and it doesn't even mess with it when u remove "Theme Chooser". Watskyhotsky again making stabs in the dark.

good to know.

well they are such core features of CM7 and Gingerbread. removing them is kinda stupid. :P
 
I remove all of the above after every flash and have no problems. Most of CM's features are in the CMparts.apk. Here's other stuff I remove too:

rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip
rm /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
rm /system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg
rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
rm /system/app/Androidian.apk
rm /system/app/BooksPhone.apk
rm /system/app/Calculator.apk
rm /system/app/CarHomeGoogle.apk
rm /system/app/CMStats.apk
rm /system/app/CMUpdateNotify.apk
rm /system/app/CMWallpapers.apk

I have Quickpic already installed to replace gallery3d, and zeam launcher installed already so removing adw launcher is ok.

Every single post you reply in is trashing someone else. You're either outrageously insecure or miserable irl.

Android is customizable for a reason. The poster above listing everything he removed will actually help tons of people.
