Update: reinstalling sysinfod put Bluetooth and FMTX back.
Upshot: sysinfod is NOT a safe package to remove.
Although I wish it were. Having two instances running all the time is annoying.

I made some testing about sysinfod.

First grab installation deb, backup it and unpack, e.g.
Code:
apt-get install --reinstall sysinfod
cp /var/cache/apt/archives/sysinfod_0~20100226.1\+0m5_armel.deb .
(Then you can install it back with dpkg -i sysinfod_0~20100226.1\+0m5_armel.deb)

Unpack deb:
Code:
ar x sysinfod_0~20100226.1\+0m5_armel.deb
tar zxvf data.tar.gz
Then uninstall sysinfod and reboot
Code:
apt-get remove sysinfod
reboot
I found that wifi and bluetooth are then broken (anything else?).

Enable wifi: (use xterm on root)
Code:
./sysinfod --system
Let it running

In another tab run (also root)
Code:
wl1251-cal
It should say: "found MAC address" (And not "The name com.nokia.SystemInfo was not provided by any .service files")

Then you can kill sysinfod (Ctrl+c)

Finish with GUI to select access point.

Enable bluetooth:
Code:
./sysinfod --system
Let it running

Another tab or over ssh (root):
Code:
/usr/bin/sysinfo-tool -g /certs/npc/esn/bt_id | sed 's/\(..\)/\1:/g;s/:$//' > /sys/devices/platform/hci_h4p/bdaddr
At this point you can kill sysinfod.

Code:
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.bluez `dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez / org.bluez.Manager.ListAdapters | awk -F'"' '/at/ {print $2}' ` org.bluez.Adapter.SetProperty string:Powered variant:boolean:true
***************
Getting rid of sysinfod:
For bluetooth, run once (when sysinfod is running):
/usr/bin/sysinfo-tool -g /certs/npc/esn/bt_id | sed 's/\(..\)/\1:/g;s/:$//' > bt_address

And later (no need for sysinfod)
Code:
cat bt_address > /sys/devices/platform/hci_h4p/bdaddr
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.bluez `dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez / org.bluez.Manager.ListAdapters | awk -F'"' '/at/ {print $2}' ` org.bluez.Adapter.SetProperty string:Powered variant:boolean:true

wl1251-cal do more, there are wiki page: http://wiki.maemo.org/Wl1251-cal

Thanks for that, Aapo. It looks rather involved but I will try it one evening when I manage to stay awake while putting the kids to bed

Meanwhile, here is my full list of packages that I have removed from my phone. Please keep in mind that some of them might be useful for some people. For example MfE, AS and all those chat (Jabber etc - I only use Skype and even that only rarely so everything else had to go) and sharing (Facebook and friends - no one will ever force me to use that) plugins. And of course, some of them have been replaced with community alternatives (adobe-flash-player and kernel come to mind).

You may notice that stock file manager went too. I replaced it with Hamster Filer (*the* file manager - that's how a file manager should look!). However I did not have much luck there because of the totally brain dead way the language dependencies are implemented. The main reason for wanting to get rid of File Manager was to get rid of its l10n packages, but - fancy that - they are used by hildon-status-bar-usb and ke-recv. D'oh!

Without further ado...

Pichlo, what you use for imageviewer replacement? imageviewer misses so many features and nothing can be do. I have tried to use eog (eye of the gnome) and geeqie, but they would need more work to be handy on N900.

You're right, the imageviewer replacement is still a bit open. Currently I use quiver from diablo repos but it is far from perfect, and not only because of missing icons for some buttons.

I actually quite liked imageviewer but I had to remove it if I wanted to remove tracker. My ideal solution would be gpicview from Debian but my attempts to install it directly (read: out of Easy Debian) have thus far always resulted in a bricked device (through replacing libc6).

Anybody know what maemo-installer-utils is for? Nothing (that I have) depends on it but the name looks a bit scary.

It's a helper program according to the wiki entry.

I pushed gpicview (0.2.3-2 from debian) to the extras-devel. It is missing icons (zoom in, zoom out, fullscreen). And many icons, including 'open', are out of the screen. -> It can open file only from commandline -> no point for menu icon yet.
Test with: /opt/gpicview/bin/gpicview IMAGENAME
Referring log, there are missing also gtk-save, gtk-delete and 'gtk-preferences'.

------
BTW: If you want test newer libc6, check this out: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1329134 (for libc6 2.15.90, should be enough for wheezy+jessie).

What is Prolog good for? Do I need it?

In my post above I indicated having removed prolog-extensions but trying to do it now again wants to autoremove ohm-plugin-prolog which I do not list above. It is quite possible that I missed it, of course.

I have never knowingly used Prolog, nor do I feel any urge to start now.

Prolog is used on N900 to decide about audio output levels for speakers and audio out (see e.g. first paragraph of http://wiki.maemo.org/Porting/Audio ). That sounds like a crazy idea, doesn't it? I wish I could meet a guy who decided "hey, using prolog for this would be a great idea"
