I've had my Nexus One a couple of years and there's not really anything out there I really fancy at the moment.
Therefore, to give it a new lease of life, I really need to get more free space.
I'm running 2.3.6 straight from Google at the moment on a rooted device to cut down on network bloatware.
However, in the UK there's lots of apps we can't use and I don't want to use, such as Voice, Music, Books, Facebook... but these can't be uninstalled.
So what are my options? Do I run a custom rom? Is there a rom that allows me to remove the built in apps?
Any helps or suggestions welcome.

One word, Cyanogenmod.
I'm shocked your phone is rooted and you haven't flashed it by now. If you can get a fresh battery for your nexie, you will not "need" an upgrade for another year at least.
Rom Manager from the market will also make everything go a lot smoother. Also, watch a few YouTube videos to speed things up a bit on your end.

Since you have already rooted you can easily uninstall your apps like facebook,books by using "root uninstaller".which is available for free in the play store
Use app 2 sd to move apps to sd card
Google's stock rom is bugless but u can add a taste to ur nexus one by flashing custom roms like cyanogen mod,sense roms
if u just want to remove those bloatwares but still stay on stock rom, u can use titanium backup to remove those unwanted apps.
imho there are plenty of roms (even stock based) that are rock stable and more efficient than stock.
i suppose ur warranty shd hv finished and there wont be official ics, then wats the point in staying wid stock. ( jus my 2 cents )

OK, I've decided to take this route, but I'm missing the basics, as I can't seem to get the fastboot to work following this guide to install a custom recovery image.
I keep getting 'fastboot not a recognised command'?
I'm probably doing something really stupid, but I don't know what?
FYI - Running Windows 7 if that makes a difference?
Ignore me, sorted that bit now, so onwards I go...
Managed to get it all up and running, but had to go through installing the app from the market, as the startup option didn't seem to work. I'd select something, but it wouldn't actually do anything!?
So now I've got it installed, are there any key things about Cyanogenmod that I should setup, enable, install etc to get the best from it?
cyanogen doesnt include gapps
by default. u have to flash it seperately. flash the correct gapps provided along with the rom

I installed gapps afterwards without a problem, it was Clockwork I was having issues with, but got around that.
Had a little play earlier today and all seems to be going well with a more space.
More tweaking this evening

My Nexus 7 should be arriving soon, and since this is not my first Android but is my first Nexus device, I have a question for others out there: is it a good idea to install CWM on a Nexus device if you primarily want to use stock ROMs? Vanilla Android is one of the major draws to me (I may want to install CM10 at some point when it's stable), so would I be better off rooting it and not touching the recovery partition so I can receive the latest updates?
I know rooted stock ROMs crop up very quickly, but I'm kinda looking forward to just receiving the updates rather than having to wait till I get home to flash a new update.
Why not? What's the downside of installing CWM?
I've rooted and customized my other devices, but I like the N7's software as-is. I'm not installing cwm.

I prefer TWRP over CWM.
If you want to stay stock all the way, you don't need to. If you start to feel differently, you can always go back and do it.

I don't own an Android device that doesn't have CWM installed.
The thing with Nexus devices is that Google releases factory images for the devices so its easy to always go back to stock for whatever reason via fastboot. So if you want to try out CWM there will be no harm in the future with it if you decide to go back to stock.
I'm pretty new to this, but for what it's worth, I rooted and CWModded my N7. I removed the CWM, because it wouldn't allow me to update to 4.1.1. I had to go back to stock recovery, then it worked.

weird.
i got mine on monday. unlocked and rooted and installed CWM with the toolkit.
the next day OTA hits and its updated.
CWM all the way.
What I did was stick with stock recovery. If I want to make a nandroid backup I use temporary CWM, which you can invoke from a root toolkit and usb cable. It goes back to stock after rebooting, works out well really.
I wouldn't have because custom recovery just makes it harder to get OTA updates. Stock recovery is fine since my device is backed up on the cloud anyway.
However I ended up putting TWRP on it since the stock recovery stinks so bad. It doesn't work (or any of them) unless your computer is plugged to your Nexus. This is a known issue but Google hasn't announced a fix. I've also found that my updates would fail also. I got the Android picture with a triangle above it. I don't know what messed my stock recovery up but at any rate once that was done I went ahead and put something else on here to enable me to flash roms.
Short answer -- don't bother changing it, there's no need.
CWM!
cwm and Paul's jr6. Without his rom u lose features being rooted. Paul patched it up so you don't lose features, and it still feels totally stock.

@Trickee360 Simple solution. Its a Nexus. Meaning its very easy and simple to work with. Push your choice recovery image using fastboot, do a backup and flash supersu. U wanna go stock for an ota, simple do a restores to your backup. Root again flash the supersu zip. Super easy. Nexus isn't like all those devices that have all the crap on em and u have to use a 3rd party deal then wait and if u look at it wrong it bricks..lol. none of that. This is the real deal. Another reason ill only ever own Nexus. Its all on youtube. How to install sdk (qbking77) how to root ---same root method as galaxy nexus.
★To have a Nexus device and not root is against the law. If u get caught u will have to pick up trash on the side of the road for 2000 hrs. ;-P I bet the majority of u guys saying no root now will have it rooted by next mo.
I won't be rooting, I don't think. I have rooted every Android device I have owned, but I am very satisfied with the stock experience.

I uninstalled the old version of safestrap, then installed the new version. I can do everything just fine (install, wipe, etc) but when I try to boot from the ROM slots, the phone just sits at a black screen.. I tried flashing Eclipse 3.0 and nothing happens.. help???

Don't think eclipse works with new Safestrap. I have tested CM10, AOKP, AOSP, and Steel Droid. Those 4 all are "working".
Steel Droid is the most stable one i have tried so far, CM10, AOKP and AOSP all lag for me.
Hey guys,
New to Droid 3/ Milestone 3 World here.
I just bought one, actually with the 5.2.390.XT860.Brasil.en.BR version.
I'm not exacly new to flashing roms, and recoveries, but in this case I'm a little confused. Is it possible to use SafeStrap on this one? Or better go for an older version of it?
Thanks in advance.
@Munckster, as long as it is rooted you can install safestrap 3.04 and try if custom roms work for you?? but make sure you have the correct SS3 version!!

I was thinking about trying... Maybe during the weekend..
Thanks for the advice, man!
I took my phone back to stock (from an oldish CM9 that had been working reasonably well for me for some time) so I could install SS3. Made the mistake of letting the phone OTA update itself and then had to find a new root hack before I could get SS3 installed.
Unfortunately the OTA update has messed with the radio, as reinstalling the CM9 I've used for months gets a system where the phone app just crashes.
The kexec cm9 on hash code's download site results in a black screen for me. I have to pull the battery to get the phone back. Funnly enough the old CM9 does boot - and every thing works except the phone.
The latest CM10 does every thing I want (I can live with out the camera) BUT I can't receive calls, the phone app crashes. (But I can MAKE calls!).
This is on GSM BTW, not CDMA where I live.
So i'm busted back down to the 'stock' OS so I can use my phone as a phone
And as a new XDA user I can't post my bug report in the developer thread.
Well,
I installed the 3.0.5 version. Works like a charm! The easiest to use recovery that I ever use.
But the question is: Is it safe to downgrade it?
Sorry about the dumb question.
SS3 can be un-installed pretty easily. Boot your 'stock' OS, then use the SS3 app to remove the 'hijack' and then reboot again. No SS3. Just remember to do it from the 'stock' OS and not one of the others.
Don't do what I did with SS2 - from a non stock OS, remove SS and reboot. Ended up with a phone that never finished booting before it rebooted. Fortunately the emergency recovery mode built into the phone worked to recover it.

Is the issue you're having that when you're speaking to people on the phone you can't hear anything and they can't hear you? Cause on CM9 there should be no issues with using it as a phone as long as you don't enable bluetooth ever or use buttons on a headset connected to your phone. I haven't tried CM10 yet so I wouldn't know too much about that. Just for some extra info to save your time do not flash Liberty or Eclipse, they don't seem to work. The newest Maverick works fine.

Downloading Now. I just hope it's for the rooted .621 Non-Milestone hack. The Milestone hack (for root) is .604.
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
Update:
First I tried it without gapps. Everything booted fine, but there was no market nor would accounts/ sync let me add Google account.
So, I rebooted into recovery, which worked fine, and flashed gapps.
This time on boot, I actually got the Droid X welcome screen, was able to put in Google info, and market initiator ran and updated.
After that everything worked fine.
Tested Bluetooth, Messages, Gps and Calls. Didn't get chance to try Wifi yet, but I'm sure it works since everything-else does.
The only thing that Would be better is an updated Superuser. The 1 included will NOT update SU Binary. I think it's the old edify binary. Even by updating Superuser in the market WON'T help. Although an easy fix is to get RootUninstaller and uninstall Rom Superuser, then download new 1 from the market and install.
Keep up the hard work. Nice Rom.
Finally, does this works for any other gb kernel besides .621?
Anybody please tell us!
Nope, but maybe yes

No prob Kiladar. I think if someone is going to comment on someones work, they should at least review it and be as informative as possible. It makes it easier
on the devs to look at potential probs/fixes too.
Oh yea, I also got to looking into your system/app folder in your zip. The vending.apk is Not in there, which i would say is why I had to flash the gapps. Just wanted you to know.
Also there is no "boot.img" (which is kernel right?) in the new dwnload.
Right, I will update OP saying to flash gapps rather then say not needed

I had it working on mine but my .605 was the .621/.605 deodexed hacked version cause I was on the .621 before I did the work around on the magic 5 route, originally I did the .604 work around but it should work on the .605 stock rooted, but then again I was also running the kernel for the .621 sooooo if the kernel is the key for running it maybe you cant.
Try another download, maybe you did get a bad DL

I tried this again but, I think the real problem is with my microSD card. I have subsequently tried to flash other roms and have had other aborts as well. I know that the md5's on those checked out. I was able to flash a cm9 based rom and got it set up just fine. All this from the same card on the same phone. Sooo I am attempting to format the card just in case I have bad sectors or something.
Luckily my DX is no longer activated and just keeps me from killing my SGS3 with flashes.:silly:

I hear ya, I had the same prob with sd card so i formatted mine as well, problem was still there though. whenever i tried to install a rom from sd card via rom manager the problem was i kept getting the message saying waiting for sd cart to mount then it would say error bla bla bla sending log file to cwm ect ect ect.... i dont know exactally how i fixed that, all i know is i installed another rom, like cm7 or cm9 for instance and after that whenever i went to back up rom it worked fine ever since.... maybe something flashes over correcting the sd card problem when you install a rom... I know rom manager checks to verify the marker on sd card and thats what your problem is I believe.
Try doing this, try installing a rom cm7/cm9 without making a backup (i know you could lose everything if it fails but its the only way i know that fixed mine) after you have installed cm7/9 go to rom manager and hit the Backup Current Rom it should reboot you to cwm recovery and make an auto backup, if it does this without throwing up the waiting for sd card to mount error stuff and it runs the backup program and then reboots you it should fix your sd card problems.....
Review this rom
this is by far a ROM with the least lag by far i tried liquid ICS and plenty others don't know what it is but the lag is really minimal runs really smooth i only have this for like 3 hours but will update soon

If it took longer than 5 minutes, then it is bootlooping. Unlock boot loader, flash custom recovery, s off, flash a custom rom. Then you can have latest, but no matter what, you will loose all your data on the phone except what's on the inbuilt sdcard. Note the contacts are usually synced with you gmail login.

I had the same issue this morning. I have SS installed and also X-Note, Verizon ported rom, and Knox Raid 2.6. GPS was working but would continuously run because it never got a lock.
How'd I fix it? Well I deleted each rom slot and reinstalled the rom. I did this one by one, rebooting and testing each rom as I re-installed it. It turns out that after I uninstalled and reinstalled the Verizon ported rom, the GPS signal was able to lock on all, even my stock rom slot running X-Note.
I thought it was PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for a rom to modify settings like this within safestrap to where the changes you make in one rom could bleed over into the other rom. I thought that was the purpose of having SS rom slots.
But...you learn something new every day. I hope you don't lose too much info, but this is what got me back up and running.

You may not have to uninstall all of them. Just do it one by one and test each rom. I would start with the newest rom because that's more than likely the rom you were on when it stopped getting a lock.
