[Q] CM6 apps that are safe to remove? - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

Hi,
Could you please tell me which CM6 (RC5) apps are safe to remove? I want to remove following apps:
ADW Lauchner
DSP Manager
Spare parts
Toggle 2G
Torch
facebook
twitter

i also removed:
Calculator
deskclock
filemanager
latinime
livewallpapers
magicsmokewallpaper
music
picotts
quickoffice
DSP manager and Spare parts are very handy, and they're just small apps too. you can remove adw, just make sure you install a new launcher first.

Checking out CM wiki is always a good idea: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barebones

I don't recommend to remove the Torch app, as it provides the service for the flashlight buttons in power widgets.

it's too late, I already removed it
I don't use CM6 power though. I use my switchpro widget instead.
Thanks for your help dudes!

I find the ability to turn the flashlight on and off again without unlocking the phone at all very handy (using a lockscreen gesture). It won't work without the torch app.
Also, I consider the usefulness of the notification power widget to be superior to any widgets on launcher's desktop.
But of course, remove what you want, it's your phone .

How to put back Program Monitor Widget in ADW Launcher in Froyo

Guys, I cannot find and add the Program Monitor Widget in my SGS after i installed ADW launcher. Its on default screen on TW running JPK. Thanks
This is one of my main issues since I wanted to change launchers.
Can anyone help?
The Program Monitor Widget (Samsung Task Manager) is disabled by default for most add on Home Launchers. This is because they show up in the list of running programs. If you then end the Launcher you wont have access to any screens without a restart.
You can open Samsung Task Manager from the App Drawer.

Thank you very much for your explanation.
I now understand why it is missing from the launchers.
Still, is there any other widget that can do the same? show the active apps?

Notification Bar for CM7

after using cm7, I found out that the notification bar is no longer there. I don't use ADW, so there's no setting I can use to 'unhide' it.
basically I am referring to the shortcuts and/or last recent apps bar when I pull down the notification window.
What do u mean? Cm does not have recent apps in notificationbar as sense rom's have.

I know CM7 doesn't have it, I mean what third party can I install to bring back this feature. I actually prefer shortcut than recent apps, so it doesn't have to be recent apps on the notification bar.
It's pretty easy to get used to using long press home to view recent apps. it's so second nature noter I forgot all about that sense feature.
Swyped on transparent XDA app.
Get cape. Wear cape. Fly!
turns out I have to do something different to bring back the power widget in the notification bar. The power widget (if that's what its called) disappeared when I change the theme, and I've to uncheck 'show power widget' in the Cyanogenmod setting, reboot, and then recheck 'show power widget' again to bring back to power widget.
thanks and considered this case close

[Q] Dashclock widget 4.1.2

I'm looking for a minimalistic widget (clock + weather), and came across dashclock. Its a very well executed open-source apk that syncs notifications into the homescreen widget (as well as lockscreen.) and has several extensions that can be added.
This Apk requires 4.2 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.dashclock&hl=en)
Im aware that on 4.1.2 (which im running), doesnt allow lockscreen widget, but I would like the homescreen widget of the same. Is there any way of installing this?
If not, any known alternatives?
Thanks in advance

I know this is a really old thread, but did you ever try Better Dashclock Widget? It's the exacto same one but it works for the home screen

[Q] Lockscreen settings

I'm on ARHD 20.1 and I would love to have a cleaner look on my lockscreen and remove, the clock as well as the defaults apps which are in my dock. It used to be you could edit and choose the apps that are displayed in the lockscreen but now i can only edit the wallpaper.
Any ideas ?

The only way to remove the apps on the lockscreen is to use a different launcher and remove all apps from the dock in Sense before switching to the 3rd party launcher, or, don't have any apps in the dock if you want to use Sense. With regards to the clock on the lockscreen, the only way to remove it is to use ViperOne ROM which has an option to disable it by way of a built in Mod (which I did ask the Dev about releasing it as a standalone Mod as I don't want to use Viper, I had no reply though) ... The other workaround is to delete HTCLockScreen.apk and use the default, Android lockscreen, this has issues though such as having to unlock to answer a call, no message notifications other than in the notification pulldown and same goes for missed calls ... The one positive though is you would do away with the weather and the apps on your lockscreen, and, btw of running some command in terminal, you can enable the ability to have different widgets such as cLock which lets you change colours and depending on your wallpaper, would allow for the possibility of having no clock (purely by having, for example, a black wallpaper and setting cLock up so that the fonts are black, this would essentially hide the clock from your lockscreen.
I use Apex Launcher but I edited a lot of apk's icons manually and they are incorporated into my ROM, same with Mods. I edited icons, menus, alsorts lol to get it set up right and flashable in one go rather than flashing loads of different Mods, it looks the same on Sense does mine btw as the icons in my dock are actually edited right in the apk rather than just chaging them on Apex ... It looks like this:

How did you remove the carrier name?
Hi,
is it really impossible for the moment to have a normally-working lockscreen or "no lockscreen", that does not eat the battery on HTC One?
I have noticed by "OS monitor", that even if I set "HTC no-lockscreen" active - idlescreen process keeps accessing my phone constantly and eating the battery, because it accesses WeatherProvider all the time! I don't want to use weather at all while my phone is locked and besides, I have a third-party Elecon HD weather app that I do use.
When in my custom ROM I set AOSP lockscreen as active - I have to unlock my screen on incoming call and alarming, as described here.
Just want to make sure: no any solution for the moment - to MAKE HTC lockscreen not to access weather service to save battery OR to customize side-lockscreen so, that it would auto-unlock my phone when alarming or incoming call?

Question Widgets

I've downloaded my usual calendar widget from Google Play, but can't find any way to install it. Any hints please?
Long press on your home screen and you will see the option to add Vivo "kits" - there version of widgets for their own default apps. When you see the kits keep scrolling through the list of them until you come to the bottom and you will then see the option to view widgets from third party apps.
Great. Thanks. I'll give that a try.
Edit: It worked!
