Well I was experimenting around, and here it is. A flashable zip that makes your cell phone not a cell phone. Great for turning an old phone into a media player or something.

What it does:

Removes unnecessary apps (Messaging.apk, Phone.apk, TelephonyProvider.apk, Mms.apk, TelocationProvider.apk)
Completely turns off cell radio on bootup
Installs the radiooptions binary in case your ROM does not include it
Prevents emergency calls and 911 calls (good for giving your kids your old phone to play with)

How to install:

MAKE A NANDROID!
Flash zip
Reboot
...
Profit?

hey.
thanks for this!
any chance of the source code for your radiooptions?

regardless of that, someone wanted to use this on a ported ROM for the lg vm670 (optimus v.)
it worked on one rom but not another, so I looked at it for him.
the ported rom had renamed the telephony apks.
I changed the updater-script to match, and posted it for him on android central here.
if you mind, I'll remove it.

Thanks again for your work!

/edit/ I was told the modified zip still wouldn't work on the ROM he wanted to use, so I removed it as superfluous.
But this is nice work regardless of that!
