This is a wiki! So the title of this page represents the personal notion of one or a few editors. It's not "officially supported" info or advice.

This page is a work in progress, continue only if you know what you are doing! Never use apt-get autoremove (ie. watch out what apt wants to remove).

You will probably need to have any cssu flavor to be able to remove few of those packages.

[safe] disabling welcome screen (date/time/language): delete/move /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30osso_startup_wizard
[safe] nokia hands: delete/move /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10hildon_welcome or: apt-get remove --purge hildon-welcome
[safe] remove cherry (nokia's sms subscruption): apt-get remove --purge cherry
[safe] remove osso-tutorial: apt-get remove --purge osso-tutorial*
[safe] remove *-installers: apt-get remove --purge ap-installer amazon-installer foreca-installer facebook-installer skype-installer dtg-installer
[safe] remove nokia cruft: apt-get remove --purge "nokiamessaging*"
[if-not-used] packages that can be removed if user never used/uses them: osso-sketch* osso-notes* osso-rss*
[if-not-used] if you dont use system's default mail or calendar apps you can disable X-Maemo-Prestarted lines in: /usr/share/applications/hildon/{calendar,modest}.desktop
[hint] if you add any contacts to desktop there will be osso-abook-home-applet running all the time. same story if you add other widgets (shortcuts are ok)
[hint] install tracker-cfg and exclude unnecesary directories/tune it

[edit] apt-magic [1]
