you shouldn't delete google apps. for the other things I can't give you some tips, because I haven't 2.1 and root ;-)
i have removed all from my phone (1.6) without problems, you will only run into problems if you remove the gtalkservice.apk bit of google talk, Talk.apk should be safe but always make a backup before deleting so if anything stops working you can copy it back
if you remove youtube you wont be able to watch videos on youtube anymore, not even in the browser
you shouldn't remove google talk app.I've uninstalled it and i got some troubles (com.google.process.gapps error message)..
all are safe to remove
Google Talk in some way related to the market, don't delete it. Other all safe to delete.
i have removed talk.apk without trouble, market still working fine
Tnx for all the replays

Em, how exactly did you uninstall those system apps? the only real safe way to do it is moving those apps with root explorer or adb from /system/app to /data/app, reboot the phone and then uninstall them like any other market app using the application manager in the setting or some app like mini uninstaller (love that one). fix your phone and do it like this. titanium and other methods are less effective or phone destructive, at least for me

oh
I did not this
I same times used titanium to uninstall the apps without move to data/app
same times with root explorer deleting from system/app
I will try it
restoring...
ya it really fixed my problem
tnx very much
my phone is 100% working now

Be careful what apps are you uninstalling.. If you wanna remove some of google apk, only one that you can remove are googlesearch.apk and enhancedgooglesearch.apk. Everything else that have google in part of the name is "must have" since its closely related to google login/synh/market login.
I mentioned to another member, if you are interested, i can post you complete <safe to remove> list of .apks that i find out (there is maybe more), the phone will start without any errors and everything will work fine.
Well, you just need a little of brain to figure out what you can not uninstall. Google **** rocks, in my humble opinion.

Yea, its quite easy to figure out what to delete and what not to touch. After few reflashes, i downed list to a 10 stocked apps and manage to replace stock Contacts.apk with a Contapps one, and stock Conversations.apk with HandcentSMS. Its quite easy.. dont touch google and Semc stuff and everything will be kk Oh, you can remove backup and restore if you wanna, since you can use Titanium or xRecovery backup.
Well i recently received my invitation to Google music, currently uploading my ja-massive(yes that's a word) collection to Google Music so that itself is going to take forever.
However my x10 Mini Pro can't install the app from the market (it just doesn't show) although I know I can just download and install the apk , it's not the only app I'm looking for which won't show on x10 MP market place, I am currently using GingerDX v007 ROM , upgraded from Slade's CM6 v5.0 ROM , now on that ROM I had my market app unlocked, I could install apps whether they FC'ed on device constantly or not including Google music, YouTube remote and many others. Only problem is i forgot how the hell I done it can anyone help? I remember getting it from somewhere and I'm pretty sure it wasn't one of those market switchers (switch it to American market place) because I attempted that and it still didn't show the Google music app. i think it's something i add to the build.prop but I'm probably wrong! help someone thanks in advance!
I'd rather have the official app downloaded off of the store for future updates rather than reinstalling apk's all the time.
Come on please help
Tried Market enabler?
send from my X10miniPro
well link to it doesn't work and i live in UK so i can access paid apps, i have tried that other app where you access markets from different countries that's no good to me though.
seems, that Google-Music doesn't install on qvga-Devices (but works on mini pro). Anyone can fake the resolution of our x10 minipro for the market?
hello live in GR and i have many ''hiden apps'' on the market so if you remember how you did that please tell us here cause market enabler or market unlocker didn't work...
Hey I have a question..maybe it's stubid but...is there any way to ''fake'' the market and make it think that it is(x10 mp) another device so we can see all the apps and isntall them even they fc??
search for the apk on other sites and install maybe?
I'm, a total noob at this - just did my first ever SBF, root, and custom ROM flash all in one sitting three days ago (after spending many hours on here over the last week or two reading up on it). I started from a totally stock, never rooted Droid X2 that had received the 2.3.5 update during the soak - and used Moon Shadow's guides to SBF back to 2.3.4 and then root the device (using zergRUSH). I then followed dragonzkiller's guide for installing CM7.2.0-RC1. I followed all of these instructions VERY carefully and didn't have any problems at all - or so I thought.
When I booted CM7, my old background pic was still there, but everything else was new and worked great, so I didn't think anything about it (but now know this isn't right). I realized soon after that the Google apps were not loaded (Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc.), but some of the other apps in that same ZIP file (that was flashed AFTER the CM7 flash per the instructions) DID get installed (like "Talk").
I was able to download/install the missing Google apps from the Google Play Store (still hate that stupid name) without any problems and they all work perfectly (including Nav from the car dock) - and everything else has been running flawlessly. The phone is very fast & smooth... no bugs... not a single force close or reboot yet after fairly heavy use for the last couple of days.
So... obviously something didn't go perfectly with my install, but as far as I can tell, everything is fine with the phone.
My questions are:
1) How can I tell if I'm missing anything else?
2) Should I just keep what I have or do I need to SBF back to 2.3.4 and start over again?
I'm perfectly happy with it right now - but maybe I don't know what I'm missing.
p.s. I would have posted this in the CM7 install thread in the Dev forum, but I'm not allowed to post there yet.
Thanks!
Well your post indicates that nothing is wrong. lol. If you have the google apps that you want on there and working now and everything is smooth then in my opinion, you are fine just how you are.
LOL! Well, yeah... as far as *I* know, I'm fine... but this is the first time I've done this, so I don't know what I'm talking about. Just wondering if something else may not have been done that could cause problems later - or if I'm missing any other apps that I may need/want. Is there a list anywhere of all the apps that are included in that Gapps ZIP?

You can extract the zip and look at what apk files are in there.
---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------
I just did it and this is actually all thats in there:
CarHomeGoogle.apk
FOTAKill.apk
GenieWidget.apk
GoogleBackupTransport.apk
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleFeedback.apk
GooglePartnerSetup.apk
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
LatinImeTutorial.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
MediaUploader.apk
NetworkLocation.apk
OneTimeInitializer.apk
SetupWizard.apk
Talk.apk
Vending.apk
Thanks. Hmmm... I don't see Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc. listed specifically in there. Is it possible that those apps don't get installed automatically along with CM7 when following dragonzkiller's instructions? Maybe I'm making something out of nothing. Is there an easy way to tell of those APK's are installed on my phone? They aren't in the App drawer by those names (well, other than "Talk").
I know some of them are on the phone though (Google Quick Search box is on the home screen, my contacts and calendar all synched from Google, and the Market/Play app was there (Vending.apk?), so maybe everything that's was supposed to be there WAS there. I thought I read in a post here somewhere that Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc. would be there automatically too.
Told you I was a noob!

I actually dont remember if Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc. were there when I installed it. I really didnt think much of it and probably just installed what I needed from the Play Store. The main thing you need to worry about is being able to sign into your gmail account and getting on the play store. If you can do that, it installed fine. A lot of those APKs are system files and services. They wouldnt show in your app drawer. If you wanted to see them on your device, you would need a file explorer and navigate to the system/app directory.
Awesome... I just used "File Manager" that's already loaded and found the system\app folder. Everything is there... I'm fine. I guess the only question left is why was my old background pic still there after SBFing and wiping the big 3, but I'm not gonna worry about that. Already changed it.
Thanks for the help!

lol. That happens to me when I switch roms sometimes too. The wallpaper will stay the same. Dont know why. But bottom line, you're install is fine.
Hello friends
I've been searching for 2 hours and found no solution! I need to delete Google Play Service completely from my phone or totally disable it! Even when I disable it, using phone "disable feature" Google play service and all it's apps are still eating my battery 45% (Running). The only way to kill it it's root my phone? I can't find way to contact Google or Android there is no email on the internet! Many people want to delete Google Play Services I've seen a lot of threads but found no solution! I don't need Google Play Services at all. Thx.

If you have the Play Store, you have Google Play Services.
And if you want to get completely get rid of both, you'll need root.
Yes you can

hy people,
I had the same problem with my note8. gt-n5110.. But, I did a workaround with the apk.
1- delete - wipe the user data after instal RR 7.1.2
2- using the website of apkpure I installed the firefox, this browse have no problem to install.
3- using firefox I used the site of APK DOWNLOADER.
4- APKDownloadr needs the app link from GooglePlayStore. Them, you go to the app in the googleplay and catch the link off this app.
5- insert the link in the apkdownloader prompt, Generate Download Link, then download apk.
That way, it´s not necessary the to use the Google Play Store.
But, I'm instead the GPS problem, this no works in my device. If somebody have a solution or workaround it´s so good for us. thanks
