Getting rid of osso-* bloatware?
 

I'm not sure if osso-* packages and "pre-installed Nokia SSU stuff" is part of Nokia's proprietary apps. And I also wonder why it's there after installing the CSSU.

I want to get rid of just about all of them. I'm pretty sure a procedure like this could render Maemo unusable at the moment, but I really want to attempt it. I've backed up.

I can find replacements for these apps later.

So I want to get rid of at least the installers first, and then the games, and finally the other ones. Has anyone attempted do do this? Can anyone say what osso- packages "cannot" be removed?

Additional information (from you) is very welcome.

PS: CSSU does not replace all Nokia stuff. It's just a bunch of updated/replacement packages [rand on] which happens to come all together in one pack, i.e. all or nothing.. unfortunately [rant off. if you want to discuss about this please on another thread].

Would be nice to hear how things went with un-installing! I am planning to get rid of some things too.
Unfortunately there is no way to un-install MicroB with Browserd ...
Hm, can software be un-installed without un-installing everything that depends on it? (Where is dependency information stored? Can it be modified offline?) I'd like to give it a try and see if texting and other things still work without browserd (it's using a lot of memory).

Because the CSSU is not a complete rewrite for the sake of a complete rewrite.

Search the archive...

In Android, whole friendly sites thrive because of people's desire to get rid of such detrius (assuming that detrius is really a word!).
