I'll see if there's any issues with getting rid of a few things and let you know later.

As far as a file explorer is there long enough to get the apks I keep on my SD card installed I'm happy
 
HaloBean 6 RC2 coming soon! Gonna have the old spinners back but super smooth. However I don't know if it'll have the same problem as when I added the new ones where it starts using drawable-mdpi in some spots, so I need help making sure it gets everywhere in the rom. Also HB6RC1 has a way faster boot time!
 
Just updated from 4.8 to 5.0.4. Now the notification clear button is moved real close to the right edge of my screen and seems smaller or cut off. There is a larger than usual gap between it and the recent button. Not a big deal but it is more difficult to tap.

Actually, it kinda is a big deal... I don't know what happened as I didn't change anything in SystemUI.apk, it just happened on its own... however, the recent apps button is a drawable nine-patch, so it can be stretched out to fit in a certain area. There is an empty space to the right of the image, so that could be the culprit.

I think u should include nandroid manager its a must have for us flash happy warp owners and I also love the HTC keyboard

Nandroid manager... not so sure. Not everyone has multiple nandroids to manage. I personally only keep one, but on some weeks or days I have multiple nandroids to sort through when restoring, so it does seem useful for a dev or heavy modder or extremely heavy themer like me... its very useful, but not for the everyday user. Besides its not something used on an everyday basis...

Just thought of something. Might remove the calculator and TB among a few other apps as they're not used on an everyday basis, unless I make them uninstallable like LMT Pie and the ParanoidAndroid Live Wallpapers. Titanium... I shall make uninstallable. I'm probably gonna completely remove some other apps. I mean, honestly, who uses their calculator most days of the week or even once a week? Time for more slimming down the rom...

This Guy. I need a calculator all the time.
I could understand if you make it uninstall able tho.

To me the calendar app is useless and I have never used it once in the 3 or so years I've used android.

THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE:
BLVCKHVLO, for building the rom and giving me an excellent base to work on, you rock man!

LilBit for supporting me and cheering me on ever since I began theming:D

Mercury0x000d for his settings.apk which I analyzed to get Wi-Fi tethering and CPU control integrated into Settings (before I removed CPU control, go say thanks in his rom thread though!) also for his hosts file which I used in 4.4 to block ads and shave the rom down a bit

Jimsmith80 for pointing me in the right direction when I asked about CPU control (again, before I removed it... I know, I know), and also for sharing how he got Wi-Fi tethering into settings. Without him sharing it with us it wouldn't have been possible. Also for the DPI changer that was introduced in v3 (before I removed it too... either way, learned alot from adding it in and removing it in HaloBean 4.4 :D so go say thanks in his thread!)

aaanadie, kdraw44, and oscarsama for being my guinea pigs when my dog ate my USB cable and I wasn't able to flash my own rom and test myself

i2f, for making the vibrate icon in the status bar match with the signal bars in Warped Sandwich for Noob ROM so I had a hard time seeing it with my bad eyes so I ended up learning how to change it then I figured I'd do the same with everything else and created a theme with Warped Sandwich as a base. If it hadn't been for that vibrate icon I wouldn't have started theming, much less kept a rom going :D HUGE THANKS I2F!!

If there's anyone I forgot, please let me know and I will add you to this list!! :)

SCREENIES

Changelog
1.99-Implemented theme and added Adreno 205 GPU tweaks

2.20-Added/replaced the following system apps: Holo Launcher (replace ADW), AdAway, DownloadCrutch, Apollo Music Player, Adobe Flash Player. Also updated flashlight app. Updated theme. Replaced platlogo.jpg and accompanying text. Replaced all sounds with ones from Mercury Sound Pack (ICS/JB Sounds). ICS boot animation added. Raised the default speed to 122-1804 SmartassV2/SIO. "Fixed" signal meter by adding 6 bars instead of 4 (the phone is supposed to have all 6, but the 4,5,6 images were replaced by the same full signal meter-- didn't noticed it during my theming until I took a closer look at it.) EDIT: this one wasn't released, wouldn't boot due to a bad bootanimation zip. Also had a few bugs in SystemUI.apk

2.25 (REMOVED)-Added stock BM bootanimation, and fixed the bugs in SystemUI.apk. New 6 bar signal meter added/fixed. UPDATE: Removed. Botched it somewhere, going to release it again but with less features to keep track of where the bug comes in. Sorry for the inconvenience guys...

RELEASE CANDIDATE SERIES
2.75 RCI-Added/replaced the following system apps: Holo Launcher (replace ADW), AdAway, DownloadCrutch, Apollo Music Player, Adobe Flash Player. Also updated flashlight app. Updated theme. Raised the default speed to 122-1804 SmartassV2/SIO. "Fixed" signal meter by adding 6 bars instead of 4 (the phone is supposed to have all 6, but the 4,5,6 images were replaced by the same full signal meter-- didn't noticed it during my theming until I took a closer look at it.) Also added Wi-Fi Tethering and CPU control/history in settings. Confirmed fully working :D

2.75 RCII-Removed throttling in services.jar, added custom platlogo.jpg to framework-res.apk and changed accompanying text in framework.jar. "Mobile Networks" doesn't seem to work in this one under Settings, doesn't matter right now seeing how the Power Widget and QuickSettings Panel both have the option to enable/disable/toggle it.

2.75 RCIII-Removed the GB music player (forgot to leave that out...) and try to fix settings.apk. Not sure just wtf is going on since I used the settings apk from 2.75 RCII in HJR1.99 and it worked perfectly fine...

2.75 RCIV passed, became 2.80

2.80-Contains everything that I saw fit from the RC's. Full changelog for 2.80: Updated theme. Raised the default speed to 122-1804 SmartassV2/SIO. "Fixed" signal meter by adding 6 bars instead of 4 (the phone is supposed to have all 6, but the 4,5,6 images were replaced by the same full signal meter-- didn't noticed it during my theming until I took a closer look at it.) Also added Wi-Fi Tethering. Custom platlogo.jpg added to framework-res.apk and changed accompanying text in framework.jar. Also themed mms.apk a bit more.

2.90-Added JB clear button in notifications and removed am/pm from status bar, clock color changed to blue

3.00-Added ICS/JB like notifications in status bar, bit more theming changes, added dpi changer from DroidSmith (thanks Jimsmith80!)

4.00-Added Beats Audio, MegaBassBeats, and Bravia Engine (Bravia was a COMPLETE and TOTAL accident, but hey, works great!), updated build number (I remembered :D), replaced all ringtones with sounds from CM10 (99 ringtones, so have fun finding the one you like!), changed default governor settings to 122-1804 cfq/SmartassV2. Also added in Jelly Bean transition animations and edited strings.xml in framework-res.apk to make the prompts more Jelly Bean-like, and edited updater-script so from now on the rom won't format data. However, I'm still going to recommend that the data partition be wiped in clockworkmod/TWRP if coming from another rom.

4.20-VERY minor theme tweaks (you won't even notice them unless you've got a freakishly good eye), and reduced path thickness in the pattern lockscreen to get a more full and complete Jelly Bean look :D also removed phonesky.apk from the rom because it was causing issues with they Play Store updates removing themselves after installing gapps. So now there won't be anything conflicting after flashing gapps into the rom :):D

4.30-ICS/JB spinners added, slightly themed calendar, all apps updated, and Play Store readded into rom. Need to fix smoothness of the spinners though, next update should have a fix.

4.40-added a bit more smoothness to ICS/JB spinners, though they still are very choppy even though I increased the framerate on them, ClockworkMod SuperUser added and confirmed fully working, LMT Pie now working as it should, and more theme tweaks to help smooth out the issue with drawable-mdpi, removed DPI changer as it was messing with the rom too much, moved Tethering Options to "Wireless & Networks" category in Settings menu, new Easter Egg to better go with the rom. Also changed name to HaloBean since I love the name so much :D

4.46-added new adblocking hosts file and removed adaway

4.47-fixed ics spinners in framework-res

4.48-updated superuser

4.50-updated superuser again but actually got it mostly right. Battery life sucks booty on first flash, to fix let the phone drain itself down to around 10-15% then turn off and let charge for an hour or two. Battery life will be a bit better afterwards. I'm not sure whats going on as I only modified superuser in this one. Fix will most likely come in the next update.

5.0.4-fixed superuser, massive theming all over the rom, as well as some polishing up, MASSIVE performance boosts and battery optimizations, and rebuilt from HaloJelly 4.3. less laggy, and boots up and warms up completely about 4x faster than before :D also readded stock browser.

6 (WIP)-more theming, color changes in phone and contacts apks, change of secondary colors to blue, probably change settings background, and add in PureAudio

I got some interesting benches btw... first boot was a low bench of about 2.5k, second boot was about 2.7, a few hours after the Rom settled in it was about 2.9k, and today now that I have all my apps and contacts loaded its about 2.7-2.9 as I've been randomly testing throughout the day.
 
I believe my warp is on it's last flashing legs!! I am gonna wait till you call this rom finished before flashing it as my FINAL daily. I love this Rom most of all for many reasons, but I cannot keep flashing it with all the weekly updates, When you get it as a final I WILL use it as my Last and FINAL Rom on my poor ole 2 plus year old warp that has seen its better days!! I have thousands of flashes on this phone, and it has held its own rather well. The Warp truly Rocks!!

It has Better days coming!!! I may just buy another, after this one dies!!!
