The question says it all...
Just installed Cacko/Crow (64/0) and would like to delete some unused apps installed with this ROM like: - calculator - voice recorder - calendar - address book - todo list Any way to completely delete this apps or the best I can do is hide then with Tab Settings? Thanks in advance! |

you can make them invisible, but they're part of ROM image.
if the files are part of the loop-back mounted ROM image, you could copy the filesys to your linux PC, mount it, copy all the files recursively to a new directory preserving links, change things around, then make a new filesys with e.g. mkcramfs or mksquashfs (use v2 as v3 of squashfs is incompatible), then copy it to the Z somehow without breaking the currently running image! |

Thanks in advance!   I can't directly answer your question, but I might have a solution for your problem.You could install the TKC2rom, I'd also recommend the Home on SD script from the downloads here, and you could still flash the Cacko/Crow kernel if you wished. The reason I suggest this is that the apps you mention are removed from the tkcrom with the exception of the calculator.. Cheers |

Or you could install Cacko lite ... and pick the other apps you need.

As I completelly Linux newbie (although a Mac user with a *nix sys to play  ) I believe that installing a "lite" version would be the best option.Snappy, can Cacko Lite be installed on a SL5500?
