Interesting...however if you remove theme alpha AND beta...You will have no themes. You need at east one theme surely?

But yeah, generally it is not wise to delete the default themes (I think they are optified anyway).

Just did a boot-up and no adverse effects so far

After the NOKIA logo the screen goes blank and boots IMO faster to desktop than before (could be a placebo effect)...

IMO it would be easier if -y is added to every line of apt-get purge but then its safer to not put it in so that a user can see for himself what is being removed and object to it...

Edit: For the record, I'm running on latest CSSU-thumb with kernel-powerr51

That's why I initially commented out these purge commands, same goes for hildon-games-wrapper0, I am not sure what it does, but my guess is that it can be deleted if you delete the games too...

Also it was more of a scrap/script/note than a real script meant to be run. However I made it runable, for the ease of it...

Edit: Anybody an idea what this package might be, osso-systemui-splashscreen ?

Code:

# Remove splashscreen (UNSURE)
# apt-get purge osso-systemui-splashscreen

Shutdown splash?
Boot up splash is in NOLO, AFAIK...

You could probably get rid of 'test server'. It has a bunch of start up scripts as well. I have removed the 'beta' theme on my device ages ago, leaving the alpha theme.

You can also ditch 'osso-startup-wizard' and all of it's startup scripts, however it means if you remove the battery for too long, the system clock will need to be set by hand. It also does something with locales as well, never figured it out.

If you do not have a sim-lock code or device lock code you could probably get rid of the instance of matchbox window manager that is started up prior to hildon to contain the 'enter lock codes' screens.

Maybe it's famous screenshot of "settings", that is show while settings are loaded, to give fake impression of settings getting loader quickly, than they are in reality?

AFAIK, CSSU does same thing with settings, but using their own method. Either way, both things seem useless, if it's really this.

My understanding is that it is the initial screen of all default games. The only thing that changes is the bitmap covering the top half of the screen. If you remove games, you can safely remove this package too. I have done it without a problem, but then put it back because I decided I wanted mahjong after all.

No idea. I have removed it and hildon-welcome, as well as grepped for and deleted everything with splash in the name, but I am still getting the Nokia logo on startup, albeit not on shutdown. So your theory might be right.

The nokia logo on startup is built onto NOLO.

It is possible to change/remove it but that will not make your n900 boot any faster at all.

No! that's not it. It is the splash screen (with sound) you see when shutting down the N900. I would NOT remove it until it's understood what exactly it does (as side effects).

For disabling the screenshots (which I also dislike), just chmod a-w /home/user/.cache/launch and delete all files in that folder. From that point on, no new screenshots will be saved there.
