Besides, necko-wifi and gstreamer, I'm not sure if vp8/webm support is working yet, if wanted. Microb config also disables necko:
Code:
#ac_add_options --disable-dbus
...
ac_add_options --enable-dbus # Is it usefull?
...
ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi
With regards to patches, I don't know if there are some features that can be safely disabled. I've seen some SMS, telephony, battery, contacts objects being compiled, are they really necessary? I know microb has patches to disable filepicker, dropservice and a few more so it might be worth checking over microb config and comparing with the current version, if flags are still valid.
Well, it's a temptation to enable everything. One option is to stick with what MicroB has been configured for. Then please just document all the disabled options. In the end we might enable dbus, as we have it.

Or the second way: (which might be better for this case and which I'm for) build as-is. Use the existing qml ui and check what is broken (apart from the ui - which is designed to be broken ). When we have working internals, then let's move to the UI stuff.

E.g. when it comes to duicontrolpanel for Harmattan (libsysinfo - proprietary - adds some stuff which isn't necessary - but for some reason has been added (guess - extending))
