My searches here at the forum have not turned up anything on this. So.

If I remove things like NetworkLocationProvider, AdMob, FlurryAgent, and others which I believe to be tied to the phone part of Android. Will I hose the functionality of the tablet?

Does anyone have a list of the apps the tablet needs to be functional?

Also if I don't need or use the Market, can I just remove it.

There are few apk's in system/app/ that I don't think we need on a tablet without a phone.

But this is a smart cell phone OS most of the phone mods might be needed. Someone has to test this out on test unit. I won't be the one to do it.

This is what I have so far. I have deleted these apk's.
Phone.apk
gtalkservice.apk
TelephonyProvider.apk
TalkProvider.apk
Talk.apk
SetupWizard.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
GoogleApps.apk
NetworkLocation.apk

I have lost the functionality of You Tube, The Market, Gmail.

Also I have found that I can not set a wallpaper that was not on the tablet originally. I don't know yet if this is because of something I deleted or if it was like that to start with.

Ok update. I did a restore. I still cannot set a downloaded jpg as the background.

Here's a handy little app that allows you to manage our startup tasks... maybe that can help... BUT you HAVE to HAVE ROOT!!!!

Startup Manager in the AndAPP store that Augen provided.... it seems to help with the mem constraints... yo can turn off quite a few system functions. i highly recommend getting it

Bump. I did not realize, it does not update the time posted if you edit a previous post.
