In case someone doesn't check the xda forums on our phone I figured I'd post this here as well...
Should work for all Optimus V GB ROMs (aosp & IHO variants)
steps to modify:
extract
edit remove.sh script*
zip
sign
*works best in a unix editor. Notepad++ & Windows notepad sometimes screw with shell scripting handles new line something-or-other. In Windows I've used another free app Jedit for editing it and it seems to not give me 'installation aborted' msgs when installing the zip.

comments on Email.apk: personally, I use it because it not only connects to Exchange servers but Hotmail email/contacts/calendar syncing can be set up directly in account settings with it there. instructions
Pls extract the zip & look at the remove.sh to see what I'm removing because I have my opinions. You can comment out & zip it back up to your tastes. If you have a variant you've made go ahead & post a link to it. Nice to compare what we each prefer.
In regards to ringtones & notifications I remove all but a basic ringtone. You can either add your own into the script- just drop them in the ringtones & notification subfolders or put additional ringtones on your sdcard in a folder made and named 'ringtones'.
Other notes is it removes a bunch of languages & adds a smaller English language.
I left in CMStats because I want Cyanogenmod to know we use it.
Don't know what Pacman.apk is so I have it commented out. May remove it if I figure out what it is.

rev5-
removed the sqlite tweaks as they didn't really do much on the IHO ROM
added removal of bootsound since it's an annoying idea
