Hi all
Before that, I was on CM 10.2 and GAPPS that comes with it, I was able to use the market even though I uninstalled the Google services apk, everything worked just fine.
Maps sometimes said somethin' like "best experience with google services", but it actually did work smoothy...
Now I installed CM11 with new GAPPS, and when I disable Google services, then Play store tells me that it can't run without it, and just closes without letting me download any app.
Is there any way do bypass this check ?
I fight any app running as a service when it's not needed (battery life, data consumsion, privacy), that's why I don't want to have the Google services on my phone.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Tried some search on the forum and on google but no chance, am I the only one to care about that !?
Just trying to get my message up again...
Hey, I think I've discovered a way to do this. it DOES require google play services to be installed, but you can freeze google play services completely once you install it.
Open terminal emulator and enter this command
Code:
pm disable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.recovery.RecoveryService
and then I think it should let you use the play store.
to undo this in case anything bad happens, just enter
Code:
pm enable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.recovery.RecoveryService
Edit: Never mind. This will let you open the Play Store, but you will not be able to download apps.

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
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!
Hello all
For security reasons I bought a new phone compatible with CM and installed CM11M12 +freecyngn +Xprivacy without the Gapps. Previously I had a Windows phone. I imagined there to be issues obtaining apps but wouldn't have guessed their extent.
There is a Windows-program that allows for fetching the .akps from the Play Store but it is required that one has authenticated a device first which requires one to have installed the Play services.
There are online tools like evozi that allow for downloading the .apks but due to lacking knowledge in how to verify that the .apks indeed haven't been manipulated I rather avoid those. I don't want to become part of a botnet or install spyware.
There's the Amazon App Store, but that requires the app to be kept installed and the user signed in, and it spies on the user, so no option either. And while Amazon already is missing quite a few apps that are available on the Play Store, it's even more the case with all the other app-stores.
F-Droid is excellent but there are non-free apps that have no FOSS-alternative.
I could imagine flashing stock again and downloading the .apks and storing them somehow on my computer before reinstalling my current system. The question: Is there any other way in obtaining the apps from the Google Play Store that I don't know?
Needless to say that if I have the choice between the convenience of apps on one hand and a system that minimizes spying on the other I choose the latter without the blink of an eye.
Thank you for your help
;__;
You could find the apks floating around but can't promise they haven't been edited. Any of the paid apps that you install will try to verify by connecting to Google play store. Any pirated apps normally include things like keyloggers and screen screen recorders. I'll be honest your will be hard pressed. But then Google doesn't really do much more then ms does
Thank you for your reply, Zelendel.
So if I buy an app in the Play Store on my device using stock ROM, flash CM without Gapps and try to install the same app it won't work because it'd try to verify the purchase and for that the installed Play Services are necessary?
Luckily the apps I'm looking for in particular are mostly free apps. Will they run without the Gapps?

As long as they are not programed to use the Google services or to call back to Google play then yes.
A week ago I experienced a problem while driving with Maps open, the battery got very hot and I needed to turn it off, losing myself in the city, few days later I needed my phone to do a work, and i lost half hour ending up using a tablet. I though there was something broken, but after I factory reset it, and read something about gapps online i pointed out what the issue was:
The big G made us like a Xmas Gift with 12.8.74 version, not on Xmas, not so cool.
But let's give this narration an end and start describing how i solved this.
1) At first I made a factory reset, it will wipe off all Gapps, cause them are installed at /data partition, not /system. After doing this the smartphone works like charm, but obviously, nowadays u can't do anything without gapps, I couldn't do anything.
2) Install Gapps with a tool that i found on internet, u can use also the one found in meizu app store, u have to reinstall all gapps, but don't run them.
I uploaded the apk i used in my mediafire account, but it's my first post and I can't post links, if u want I can send a pvt, for installing Gapps:
Google_Installer_2.0.apk (google it)
3) Unistall Google Play Store, you don't need it now.
Now some apps that will require Gapps will work, even if they say that Google Play Services is not updated.
4) On settings, App, Installed, check the number and version of Google Play Sevices, and Google Services Framework, check what the dpi of that version and number is, and keep it, you will need it later.
5) You need to certificate your device, install Device Id (i give you the link)
Device ID 1.3.0 (apkmirror)
and copy GSF number, then go to (www .goo gle.com)/android/uncertified/
click register, u should already have it enabled, but if not is better to solve
6) Now you need to download Google Play Services 12.8.62 Armv7a for the same dpi as you noted it before, Google Play 10.7.19 (this has universal dpi and arch), Google Service Framework 5.1 (same as before).
For my phone (meizu m3s) I used
com.google.android.gsf_5.1-1743759-22_minAPI22(nodpi) (apkmirror)
com.google.android.gms_12.8.62_(020308-199405334)-12862009_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(480dpi) (apkmirror)
com.android.vending_10.7.19-all_0_PR_202990317-81071900_minAPI16(armeabi,armeabi-v7a,mips,mips64,x86,x86_64)(240,320,480dpi) (apkmirror)
if you want Youtube as well
com.google.android.youtube_13.24.59-1324593340_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(480dpi) (apkmirror.com)
7) Now you need to block Play Store from update Google Play Services, I made this way:
Settings, Apps, Installed, Google Play Store, Permission management, Click on Run in background, Disallow running in background.
Then i opened Security app , Data Network Access, Background, Google Play Store, Disallow background data connection. That should do the job.
Now set your Google Account as normal and everything should work without issues.
The "install" button on the play store doesn't respond to clicks. It acts like the button is being blocked by something. I thought maybe it was draw over other apps that was blocking it, but other things work. I can sideload apps, & the install button works too install them, which never worked for me on past phones. I also have an app called "join". It requires you to login with Google to use it. I can click the "login with Google" button, but when I try to actually click on my account it doesn't work. What could be causing it & how do I fix it? I had already installed several apps before this started, so I don't understand what caused it.
Have you tried downloading one of the many Play Services Updater apps to see if maybe the Google PS app has an update you may have not been aware of? If you haven't go ahead and give it a shot. Reboot the phone if there is an update and you installed it.
If there is no update and all you see is Deactivate as the option for GPS on the Play Store, then I would go and clear data for Google Play Services, Play Store, and Google Services Framework, reboot then try again. If not, perhaps logging off your account entirely then clearing those apps data again. Ultimately if that doesn't do it, a device reset might be in order.
