Hi guys,
I was wondering if it is possible to uninstall the Google Play Store via Titanium Backup without having FCs and trouble after.
Honestly I use very few apps (this device doesn't allow to have many) and I would like to increase the RAM availability by stopping Google Play services. In addition, one can download the apps using the browser, so it really seems like a RAM and battery wastage.
I already tried to disable the Google Play store with Autostarts but it seems like the new version of the Google Play cannot be disabled completely. I also tried to uninstall the Google Play updates but it updates automatically again. So I was thinking to remove it completely.
Anyone has suggestions/has already tried?
Thanks in advance to everybody
Yes you can but wont increase ram much.
What rom are you on.
ALWAYS BACKUP STYSTEM APPS.

Who can tell wich services can I disable on Google Play Services app or plugin or whatever it is with app called Disable Service(available on play market)
It's running in background and hogging ram... I want to uncheck only those options wich won t ruin something or will disable Google Play Store
or can I uncheck all? There is about 60 services.
or maybe I can uninstall whole Google Play Services app? Will It cause any bugs?
As far as I know it's possible.
I already dealt with Annoying Google Maps that BIT*H is done and won t run in background at least till it will be needed.
Thanks
Anyone?

first 11 services starting from mdmdispatcherservice and ending with gamessyncservicenotification

p.s. googleplayservices will turn on and run in the background as soon as u run Youtube app or playmarket but it won t turn it self over and over once u force stop it
edit: actually now I think u have to uncheck services wich are highlighted blue... those are the running services

Sweet app, this Disable Service! Thanks for the tip. I have frozen Google Play Services completely using App Quarantine, and no adverse effects for me - quite the opposite actually since the phone behaves better in all ways (memory-constrained 512 Mb Xperia Ray might be why). But if I run into any troubles, I'll go the Disable Service way instead.
-Scarface- Have you any further encounters with unchecking services since you post in August?
Use greenify, much better and safe.
Don't forget to convert google services to user app first with titanium so you can chose to hibernate in greenify.

Well I tried Greenify:
I uninstalled Disable-Service and installed Greenify, used Titanium to convert Google Services to user app, but I found that Greenify kept reporting it had failed to hibernate Google Play services. So I’ve re installed Disable-Service, which works for me.

Did you have installed Xposed Insaller and you have enabled Greenify from it?
An other question: I have disabled these services, there are other useless services?

Sorry that was over a year ago, I cant remember now.
However I never succeeded in stopping Google play services and its wake-locks using 2% of my battery.

As far as I know, userpresence service and wearable service are save to disable.
i have a Galaxy Ace GT-S5839i on stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 with Google Play Store v4.0.27, which keeps auto-updating itself despite uninstalling the updates (to free up my internal memory) many times.
How can I stop/disable the update of Google Play Store?

thank you very much... ingenious solution :good: hopefully all my google bloatware updates can be blocked this way.
not only was play store update taking another 15m, but there was another garbageware silently installing called play services taking up over 50m and not just disk-space but cpu started to crawl too

i did try that, but eventually at sometime i'd need to enable background data for syncing my contacts & calendar, which are the only two things i use in google.
wonder why google can't create simple apps without trashing the entire android eco-system? hopefully amazon phones might give them some competition.

Hi Veloo,
yes, indeed the same trick can be used to prevent too the update of Google Play Service, as I posted here:
[TRICK] How to avoid Google Play Service update
Though some people say that Google Play Service isn't *really* a core service as stated by Google.
The fact is that Google Play Service provides a set of functionalities that any apps might want to use or even need to use in order to function properly.
But that's completely up to how the app is been written by the developer; so in case Google Play Service is uninstalled some apps can work properly without a issue, others might show some minor issues that still doesn't prevent the app to perform its main task, others might not work at all.
But, according to what I've read, mainly all system apps and even Google Play Store aren't badly affected by the absence of Google Play Service.
Anyway here is a good hint from xda-developers recognized contributor marcussmith2626

What I used to do was uninstall the Google play services
Then open YouTube
It will say you have to install Google play services
Click the link to install it & it will allow you to download it from the playstore
You can then move or link it to sd card with link2sd
I prefer always having the latest versions of apps as they tend to eliminate bugs - yes it might be a larger file size but you can move or link the apk to sd

thank you again! i've managed to survive without play services so far. I definitely do not update apps, unless they become smaller. I don't need bloatwares with more features. I also replace apps, soon as I find a smaller app! and so i find myself moving away from all the google apps.. far better, simpler, smaller & more efficient alternatives. and to think Iwas one of the early google adopters. those old google apps were so much smaller in size, in kb really
First thanks for the starting this thread to get complete solution on how to stop automatic apps updates on android smartphone. After reading all comment i have done this and get the full result on this..
sad google updates have become so big that my phone just doesn't have the space! #TBTF #Bloatware
thankfully i've survived so far without google play services..
Hello guys
I am having a very weird problem with my Samsung Note 3.
I have recently ran into major issues with paid apps that require license authentications. Basically, every time i launch a paid app (with license verification) it tries to verify the license but keeps on failing. It happens on Helium Premium, and ivmcontrol for example.
My phone is running stock Samsung firmware and is rooted with xposed.
The things i tried so far:
1. check date and time are correct
2. clear cache and data from Google Play Store app and Framework.
3. Remove my Google account and recreate it.
4. uninstall Google Play store latest v5.0.31 update
5. Install and uninstall Google Play store v5.0.32 update
6. install latest Google Play Store v5.0.37 update
7. Uninstall Xposed
So far nothing seems to work. I tried downloading and running these apps on my wife's rooted Note 2 with no issues at all. It's almost like my phone can't reach the Google Licensing Servers to authenticate these paid apps.
I know some may suggest to use Lucky Patcher but that's not the point. I paid for these apps and i would like to use them.
I really want to avoid restoring to factory settings as i am sure there are guys here who might be able to guide me through and resolve this issue.
Many thanks in advance!
I'm getting so frustrated with this app, *constantly* reinstalling itself for no good reason. It hogs internal memory and ram for things I don't use.
I don't bother with android siri, Google music, books, photos, tts... I literally use *none* of the things it powers. I use the store to download and update apps.... And that's it. Even within the apps, I don't feel the need to talk to it or find out what song a game uses or any other nonsense.
I don't even need notifications for crying out loud as I keep any possible app hibernated with greenify (which play services will *not*stay hibernated)
I'm using a 3rd party keyboard, and camera app
How can I remove this overall hog once and for all, or at *least*truly disable and be able to delete the large amounts of data for the damn thing and leave it sitting idle, unused and inactive, if Google insists it be on my device, technically....
I'm even rooted and removed all of the apps I mentioned (Google books, music, photos, etc), but yet this bugger insists. It's almost like spyware in the sense that I'm not using it at all and yet it remains on my phone taking up valuable space and resources.....

not recommended to remove google play
it is very possible to remove google play, google services framework and gapps, however, they are still many apps and services that depend on it, for example, i couldnt use youtube anymore when i removed anything to do with the playstore.
im afraid you will just have to keep the setup you have as google play is an important part of the android operating system
You can disable system administration of google play services and then use and try with greenify...
run this script and disable at leat about 90 uneeded services .. if you use the extended script. if it helped. just thank the guy who made this..

To see what would happen, i froze the play store (well technically removed it with app master but kept it in my recycle bin), and then deleted the play services.... nothing has stopped working on my end. but the play store is probably all i honestly use. for youtube i ditched the app and just made a browser shortcut to the site on my home page. i dont have data so have never used maps or anything like that. i use gmail but didnt keep the app lol (dont use it enough to bother as its not my main account). its a bit of a pain having to restore it to download updates, but ive noticed even a difference in battery life since i started doing that about a week ago now.
the only gapp i use is the app to download other apps, lol.
You can use Servicely to disable all Google services. Alternatively, You can remove all Google services and try to replace them with this
Hello,
I have a rooted Oneplus 3T with android 6.0.1.
I tried to use the Freedom app, but it gave me problems with the Play Store, so I uninstalled it and restored the hosts file.
But I still had problems with in app purchases and the Play Store always asked me to accept Terms and Conditions.
Clearing Play Store cache didn't help, so I cleared Play Store data and everything is working now.
The only problem is that my apps list inside Play Store is now empty.
If I search for an already installed app, it gives me the possibility to update/open the app, and then it appears among the installed apps on my device.
Is there a way to force Play Store to check for all installed apps instead of doing it manually?
Thanks in advance!
Did you ever figure out a solution for this? Just had the same problem happen to me.
