I’ve thoroughly dismantled HTC’s original Froyo ROM, stripping away nearly everything unnecessary—especially since the original Desire had very limited storage. Cleaning up bloatware is straightforward: just delete the APK and rebuild the ROM. But digging deeper proves much more challenging; you must tread carefully as changes affect linked components. For example, I removed the default live wallpaper because it consumed too much space (only 113MB remained on a clean install). Even though each file had a different wallpaper, a link persisted somewhere, forcing the system to crash before loading the home screen. It took me six months and I ended up purchasing a second device so I could keep a functional ROM with Sense. There weren’t any existing ROMs that matched my preferences. Once I finished, the new Desire S arrived—offering improved design and significantly more storage. Be careful; this path is risky unless you’re confident in your technical skills. You might end up pushing away friends and family as you repeatedly chase fixes.

His account likely faced greater challenges since the source remains sealed. AOSP might be simpler, yet it stays quite complex.
