Just for your information, the JAM is the result of 10 years of plugins and packages, and of support of tens of images. So you have to select what you need, and everyone else will do the same, and naturally will do it for their own install and selected image (that most probably will not be as you, same image and same needs/plugins).

So, it's a question of installing what you want and need, for the image you have. JAM plugins are not exclusively for OpenPLi... it's for many images. You only have 1 section for OpenPLi 4/5/6/7, that one is only for your image. Others are NOT intended for the image you use. You can try other's images plugins, at your own risk.

For the space, the image has around 3.5 Mb of flash memory available and there is a TIPS section with a lot of infos, on how to move folders to external Flash, or removal of things not used (like languages)... but I think you forgot to take a look on the TIPS section seeing your descriptions,... see below.

Concerning OpenPLi, we are not the creator and just port the OpenPLi to boxes that are not supported anymore... so we don't decide how is the image. The various plugins work, and are updated directly at every compilation. If something fails, it's related to the Plugin authors...

But the 3.5 Mb of Free Flash memory should be enough for everybody,... naturally not for people who want to load Skins, as skins generally require are few Mb of Flash memory... so if you want "extra cosmetics" then naturally you have to free some space and loose in functionnalities... in our side we prefer functionnalities to useless drivers and skins ;o)... every user and that's the good of linux images, can then modify the image and tune it per his needs.

Last thing... your LCD problem is a SKIN problem... so you install what you prefer, but that's the skin you installed that will control the LCD writting...

If you "fine tune" your image, you need to do it from the beggining to the end, and not expect all will work straight... You should do the install with the built-in skin, and all should work... all what is related to the GUI/Screens/LCD is managed by the Skin, skin that could fail or require not supported Fonts, etc... then the problem is not the image, but you installing things and failing to fine tune them as just installing a skin is not enough, you could have to fine tune various other things after, LCD, Menus, Fonts etc.

So OpenPLi works great, if you start to "fix" it your way, you have to do all the way, and not only some bits. It's not the image fault but more you that didn't finished the Fine Tune Job.
