I was wondering if one were to only pray the morning and evening prayer, with maybe the office of the readings, would it cover the whole psalter (minus the violent psalms which the whole new office emits anyways) ?

I can’t seem to find the cycle each hour covers
 
No, you’d have to pray all the hours for each day to get through all the psalms which are in the LOTH’s.

Not all the psalms are in the LOTH’s, and some one else can explain which ones. They have more to do with war if I recall.

I put this list together rather quickly and could have made a mistake but, as far as I can tell, the 4-week psalter lacks Psalms 58, 83, 105, 106, and 109. And, assuming you pray the Invitatory (Psalm 95) at the beginning of one of the hours, if you do not pray the Daytime Prayer nor the Night Prayer, then from the Daytime Prayer you will be missing Psalms 7, 14, 17, 18, 19B, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 34, 53, 54, 56, 59, 60, 61, 64, 70, 71, 74, 75, 76, 79, 82, 88, 94, most of 119, 120, 128, 129, 133, and 140, and from the Night Prayer Psalms 4, 16, 88, 91, and 134.
