Use Titanium Backup to uninstall the ones you don't want or a file browser and delete them from system/app

This means that I have to install the gapps first, right?

There's also multiple gapps packages out there. You could find a much smaller one that only contains the bare essentials and then install what you want from the play store. The down side to this is that the downloaded apps will use up internal storage where as apps included with the gapps package will use up your system storage (seperate partition.. or at least it is for the N4, it may be different here).

Find the gapps package that you need for you're rom and download it on you're PC... then use 7zip or another like program to open the zip....only in archive.. only in archive... :good:...do not unzip/extract it... after you have it up on you're PC.. in a window with 7zip/ect...remove the apk's you don't want and close it... push it to the phone and flash away...
Just be careful what you delete... there is a minimal gapps package around... where you could see what you can delete and what you need..
I mean you could delete everything but the playstore stuff and be functional,but some apps will only work correctly if they are part of the system partition... you could then push them to system app w/rom tool box or a similar app...

Hi All -
I would like to install just Google Play (Market) without the other GApps. I tried a couple of APKs that I found floating around the forums, but none seem to work.
Are there some additional dependencies (like the Google account, for example) which I need to install in order to use Play? I am trying to avoid any Google synch and also don't need GMail, Talk, etc. Installing them just to remove them with Titanium or something seems counter-intuative.
Any help, ideas, or links are greatfully received.
Kind regards,
travis
Just to reply to myself...
I am running either CM 9.1 or 10 M2 on a Nexus S. GApps are not installed.
Feel free to edit the gapps.zip file to remove whatever apks you don't want, before you flash it. Even if you flash it as is, you can always remove the Google apps you don't want.

Thanks for the quick answer!
Are there any dependancies to be aware of (other GApps, something for the Google account so it can be called by Play, etc)? I assume I need to turn off signature verification as well, since the new zip won't be signed, right?

No need, they should work...Edit it( add,remove apps) then flash....
I remember once to install Google play on my emulator, I also had to install the Google services framework apk.

and of course vending.apk
if you need auto update version just include marketupdater.apk
Hi. Noob on Forum.
I decided to Install CyanogenMod on my Xoom MZ601 model.
Bootloader unlocked, cwm installed, Cyanogenmod also installed without problem.
I use the last NIGHTLY-BUILD ---> cm-10.1-20130410-NIGHTLY-everest.
Now the problem. I tried to install gapps.
I downloaded the latest gapps for jelly bean 4.2.2 ----> gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip from goo.im/gapps/ (cannot write the complete url on the first post)
Install zip from sdcard etc using cwm. And everything seems to be perfect.
Except one. None google app is not installed. Or at least not shown nowhere on my apps.
Any idea what's wrong? How to fix that? I like jelly bean but I need gtalk, youtube, play store, google maps etc.
First u need add your Google account in phone setting> account.
Then just install YouTube, Gmail, maps etc. Those Google apps that can be downloaded from market aren't included in gapps flashable package.
I add my gmail account and I made again the gapp proccess. Still the same result. I have no problem to download all the apps from market. But I have not play store on my apps.

You have to flash the gapps at the same time as the rom as the gapps package has more then just app apks in it and it needs to be able to write to the proper areas.
How to do that? The first thing after installing ROM was to install gapps. I think that we are on a good way to find the solution :good:

When you flash the rom dont reboot, flash the gapps right after and then reboot. You will have to reflash the rom with a full wipe.
I made a wipe of disk and cache. I install rom and gapp. After, I rebooted, I add gmail account, I rebooted again and now I have News and Weather app on my apps but not play store.

I mean post the link you used to get the gapps zip file. if the browser FC then the zip maybe corrupted due to it being updated with the new play store
Try installing the new playstore yourself.

Wait you are flashing the gapps package first before this zip right. I already have the new play store running
And after looking at those link those are install able files not flash files.
Thanks a lot! With the apk problem solved
Hello, I want to modify the zip of Gapps because I do not want to install certain apps like google books or google docs and other apps that I do not use and I do not know how to modify the zip so that at the time of flashing do not install them!

You have to try micro G app.

Bro if you have twrp, flash fresh gapps for your android version after removing the older ones by searching "google" in titanium backup....
And if I install GApps, will I be able to remove each app if I start to dislike it? Thanks. (I assume I can remove the apps installed manually on the Play Store)

With G apps,you can select and download the Aroma Package, you'll have the choice to install what you want. But once it's installed you can't remove the apps (unless you have root) because Gapps are installed as system apps.
On the playstore, the will be removable at any time.
I think that installing playstore manually will be buggy because, it installs apps automatically, something that other apps are forbidden to do.
Have a nice day.
And next time put your question on your post, even if it's on the title
