Making LineageOS even more lightweight

> How can I minimize the power footprint of my LOS? My device is rooted and I have Termux. There I can run

$ su
# htop

and see that the device is running 83 processes (!). These are the processes ordered by RAM-consumption:

I am using an old Galaxy S5 mini with LOS-GAPPS-free as a wireless touchpad. :) It is nice, but I'd like the battery to last more than a day. (In flight-mode, with the screen off, and its used battery, the s5-mini achieves more than a week of battery life!! remember this is w/o GAPPs!) How cool would it be to have an old device be your PC's touchpad and last over a week?!! It all boils down to the processes that are active. I certainly don't need 83 for a touchpad! _________________ I have used Link2SD to deinstall and deactivate software and features in devices before to save machine-resources. It gives the option to Freeze as well, but many times, I have an annoying message that appears every 3 seconds about an app crashing. Like telephony. My smatphone-touchpad doesn't need telephony or gps services running. I would happily turn them off if the OS would stop annoying me about it being off and rebooting to recovery by itself! ________________ I have come across this xda-post https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-unofficial-11-r-lineageos-18-1-for-z5c-suzuran.4205135/#post-84135891 and it seems to lead to the right direction. > Does anyone here has experience with something like this? Which apps are the ones I can disable?
