Im using evince alot, often multiple instances, and even with the mmc patches and a minimum of installed 3rd party software its getting quite slow due to the heavy memory requirements and swapping.
So i was wondering if i somehow could remove programs like the games, the builtin pdf-viewer, email client, themes etc....
I know that by simply using apt-get remove that will put your 770 into reboot loop, but maybe there is another possibility?
How much memory will be free when those games are removed and what components can be removed? If you want to install back some removed non-user components so you have to re-flash the device?
You realize that removing applications from storage space will have no impact on the amount of RAM available to running applications, right?
Unlike Windows CE devices, the RAM and storage memory on the 770 are completely separate. The only reason to remove built-in apps would be if you were running out of storage memory on the device, which is not the problem you describe.
The only way to increase the amount of RAM available to applications is to create a swap file (or swap partition if you know how).

I agree I only did it because I need it space thats all...
You can remove them via the application manager providing you put it in 'matrix' mode first. Do a search for 'matrix mode' and you'll find instructions.
With that said, be VERY VERY careful. I haven't seen much testing done with what's safe to remove so you're entertaining bricking your device. (Read the first sentence of the 2nd paragraph again)
