I have a dozen WM5.0 smartphones using both the regular lithium ion battery, and a secondary SLA battery, being used as product prototypes for a wireless application; our final WM5.0 device is going to have a dedicated circuit board, CDMA/GSM/etc. combo modem, no screen, etc. etc. In the meantime, however, I'd like to strip my WM5.0 prototype devices to the bare minimums needed to function in order to extend battery life. Can anyone point me in a direction as to how I might best accomplish this, short of manually terminating processes prior to deployment
Make WM5.0 device barebones?

we will be OEM'g once our PCB design guys get their stuff done. for now, I'm deploying a smartphone for beta testing, and not even in kiosk mode -- completely automatic, no HCI required. that being said, I'd like to take my HTC Faradays and blow away whatever I can in terms of anything that's beyond strict cell and camera functionality. We'd like to see a week+ of life out of these in beta, and right now we're seeing 3.5-4 days with the massive 4v SLA batteries we're using in addition to the lithium-ion.
a quick glance at your post appears to be a step in the right direction, thanks, I'll have to look into CSP.

This sounds like an interesting project... Are you involved in OEMing the device, or are you reselling the device with your program as a package (sort of kiosk mode), or other business models that you want the buyers of your "wireless application" only use your stuff If you are OEMing a device, you have big freedom. Otherwise, probably there is not much you can do, unless the users agree to give up something so as to better use your program. I do have a post on how to programmatically remove all pre-installed applications, but not sure whether it is what you want.
