stripped\minimal os - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an old Galaxy S (Vibrant) that I want to use as a display for a specific app(YaV1) in my car.
It will not be used as a phone. I will only need the GPS, Bluetooth, and sometimes WiFi
Is there an android version that is stripped down and contains no apps - except for maybe play store ?
TIA

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
You can use a debloated ROM and can use apps like Titanium Backup to slim down the system.

thanks for the reply.
I currently have CM 10.1-20140217 installed. Is this considered debloated ?

hmmm...
I tried already a few of them and it's quite strange that installation fails... do fm radio applications (non-streaming) require any extra things beyond the apk file??
any help please? One of the few apps on google play says it only works with motorloa, so I guess there is a dependency on the model/brrand thus not just any radio app will work. And why should not work with the stock one? (which is just fine for me)
If anybody knows of an fm radio that works with galaxy ace s5830i please let me know!

Then flash to stock rom, backup fmradio.apk with titanium backup, flash to your custom rom and restore fmradio.apk

I'm guessing this is cos you're on Jelly Blast, there's several solutions install Rafael baugis kernel, or install soundabout app (in settings find the one that says let phone decide and check it) download from Google play, these will fix your problem

[Q] Can I flash any custom APKs as root ?

Hi Guys,
I have Superuser app installed and working.
I am wondering if it is possible to pick a Lockscreen app apk from a Custom Rom and replace it in my phone (Copy+Paste).
Will it work as easily like eating a butter ?

It can work, but I think it wouldn't because of different frameworks. Just use a custom rom for your device that offers the style you like or simply try go locker or similar apps from playstore

Just curious, What do you mean by different frameworks ? Do you mean different versions like ICS, JB versions ?

No, the framework is for the "look" of your phone and some basic things. For example there's the sony framework and the stock android framework and that's for example the reason why you can't use some stock sony system apps (or the home.apk) on cyanogenmod
System apps cannot be installed by regular method, because they do not include any signatures (apk files are not signed), thereby Android refuses to install due to security reasons.

Zero issues for my unit so far..
This is the UK version as its the only one out, but everything is the same as it would be on US version. Forgot to add this to the OP.

Flash this, and then go back find Civ's 4.2.2 GT-N5110 kernel, flash that....no more s-pen offset issue :silly:
Any idea what changes from MH2 to MH3?
MH2 was the leak. MH3 is official. But..... from what I can tell the only difference is the build number.

Quick Question. Is the ability to use lockscreen widgets and have a password on your device working at the same time? I know this us still an issue in other roms.

Hell Yes.
I'm running this Rooted with Civ's Kernel @ 1,800 MHz .. and it's PERFECTION..
You can freeze any of Touchwiz/Samsung bloat apps you don't want.. Install any of the cool apps requiring root but, still have full functionality of the S-Pen ( and all S-Pen Apps/Gestures etc ) and keep the cool apps like IR Blaster, Muti-View etc.. and be 100% Rock Stable with EVERYTHING working... Like a Stock ROM Should be.....
It's the Best of Both Worlds.. :good:
Wireless n functionality with this rom in the us?
Does anyone know if this rom will have the full wireless n ability? I did root and install civ's and lost my wireless n. I have also read through some of the threads about 5ghz and changing a few things in the etc file and they have not worked for me.

Hi, Can you post the link to the Civ's kernel that you flashed? the only thread I could find was for 4.1.2. If I flash this ROM in the Thread, will I be able to Flash Civ's kernel at a later stage?
Thanks in advance.

Several ROMs are debloated, for example,
[ROM] Android Revolution HD 4.0 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | Best STOCK ROM
It might be good to peek in the ROM Bible:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423022
And go through the developer's thread to see the list of ROM's and read their first page where the features/unfeatures/undocumented features (bugs) are listed.
Good answer!
You really have to be careful when uninstalling apps.
Best thing to do is to freeze them in titanium backup first. Then if they kill something you can un freeze them.

Thanks pbergonzi and Chevy for your valuable replies
and one more question
Debloated ROM means what kind of ROMs ? What exactly does it mean ?
sorry i am noob
thank you
Debloating means to remove the bloat. Bloat means to puff up, or swell. Some people feel that carriers fill the phones with junk, such as T-mobile apps, that is, bloated. Some developers make ROM's without the junk or bloatware, thus debloated.
The simple act of google finds explanations of bloat, etc. That is a reminder to search. One of the things that separate noobs from non-noobs is the ability to use a search engine.
Thank You
so basically you are saying search before you post, right ?
ok got it !
sorry
thank you friend
Use rom toolbox to get rid of bloat, it has an uninstaller through which you can remove any system applications. Make sure you have root and proper know how which application can be removed without ending up in a boot loop

Wow, this rom is really awesome and light so far it has proven to be a little better than slim Pickens only in the fact that it seems a bit more stable(slim pickens seems to degrade over time and act buggy/glitch) even After a full Factory reset. and I'm definitely enjoying the higher resolution or whatever has been done with the gfx. Not sure if your the creator, but either way thanks for sharing this with the community I don't see why this resolution option was not available in the stock rom.
Thank you, Yes im the creator. Let me know of any problems, Thank you again
