[Q] Safe or not - maps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have an LG Optimus one with custom android firmware for 2.3.3. I have google maps as a default gps program. I have also iGo and I was wondering if it is safe to uninstall google maps (Maps as it is in application settings) and install iGo only
EDIT: I am talking about the internal GPS settings & locations settings for facebook or anyother program that uses it

It's very safe, you can uninstall it without any problems

[Q] How to disable automatic google log-in?

I have the TnT Stock Enhancement Pack v3.1.4b. After launching the market, I was asked to enter my google account. Everything works fine after market fix (big thanks to rothnic and roebeet). All the google applications (market, gmail, gtalk etc.) would have automatic log-in enabled. I would prefer to be prompted for password to get into any of these applications for added security. This can be done in iOS. But I have not been able to find a way to do this here (I am an android newbie). Does anyone know how to do this?

No Need for GApps in your custom rom anymore

- Google Apps are the proprietary Google-branded applications that come pre-installed with most Android devices, such as the Play Store, Gmail, Maps, etc.
- Due to licensing restrictions, these apps cannot come pre-installed with Custom Rom's and must be installed separately.
- The Google Apps are not required to boot or run Custom Rom's, however many users find them beneficial to take full advantage of the Android ecosystem.
- Custom Rom without Google Apps run much faster and smoother but because many users can't manage to install applications and sync their google contacts >>> So they compelled(forced) to install GApps to their Custom ROM's and accept the suffering that will be caused by it.
- Recently totally no need to install GApps to install applications and sync google contacts.
1- Installing Applications :
- U can use one of many play store alternatives like Amazon Appstore, F-Droid, Mobogenie, GetJar, etc.
By far the better, easier, faster, lightweight APK Downloader and XAPK Installer is APKPure.
- U can directly download the applications from your web browser or better Download APKPure App :good: and enjoy it's features and receive update notifications.
(XAPK is file format contains package and obb cache).
2- Sync Google Contacts:
- It has always being a headache try finding a way to sync your phone contacts without google sync included in GApps . no actually free alternatives much, may be one good alternative is DAVdroid which u can sync contacts and calendar to cloud servers and restore them back anytime.
- Lately it has been a good solution to connect to all your emails and cloud contacts in one place, it's the magic solution that many of us was waiting for ..... Microsoft Outlook .
3- Maps & Navigation:
- Many better offline maps applications are free to use and very efficient like HERE Maps - Offline Navigation, Offline maps & Navigation, GPS Navigation & Maps Sygic, MAPS.ME - GPS Navigation & Map, and the magnificent Waze - GPS, Maps & Traffic.
Best wishes for lighter and better Custom ROM experiences.
