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.

Hello,
I wish to use Android without Google. I mean, android without any google apps (gapps pack) installed just after flashing AOSP rom. I already identify and tested all alternatives apps of Google apps I used. I use already the alternative android market F-Droid. However, before use Android without Google, I want to know feedback of users that already do it. In particular about my question:
What are the constraints, bugs and disadvantages while using Android without Google installed?
Thanks
F droid is a good alternative but of course you have less apps

yes, you have less apps
There are fewer apps, and they work great but you may need to look for other services to replace Google's unless you want to run the web apps (see Gapps Browser). An excellent choice is owncloud: see http://sufficientlysecure.org/index.php/2013/11/26/an-android-without-google/ for a short guide to replacing contact, calendar, todo and password sync.
I think the major downside is losing the advanced location functionality and push notifications available to apps that use Google Play Services. On the other hand your battery may thank you for not using it. Xmpp based messaging apps are a little battery hungry but not too bad. I've been using CM without Gapps for ages, and it works fine, but I'm hoping OmniROm will be more friendly.
jonathan and thmls : off initial topic
dab : nice feedback, great link

Hi guys, has anyone seen a list of all Google apps and services that can be disabled or deleted? I love the skinned ROM on my phone and all the features, I've started disabling and uninstalling as much Google as I can.
Hey it's ridiculous to buy a Google android device and not use the apps that are considered the advantage of android on other OSes. But a good alternative to Google play is amazon appstore

I disagree. When Google branded Android phones had a smaller market share, I would say there was more choice, you could avoid Google. Now that they dominate smartphone sales and change their policies it's different. It's becoming a monopoly and we are losing that choice.
Yeah I did try the Amazon app store, re-downloading it now to give it another go...

Problems
From the author of the No Google apps project:
MaR-V-iN said:
Android without Google apps have several problems:
Some apps do not install because of missing Google Maps API
Some apps fc at startup bacause of missing Maps API or market license check issues
Some apps hardcoded links to several Google Apps and therefor fc or react unexpectedly on certain cases.
No access to Play Store (i tried nearly every alternative market, but nothing is as good for free apps as play store) Meanwhile, F-Droid provides nearly everything you need

Why not just use 1Mobile Market. Completely legal play store alternative. Even has all the Google apps like maps and Google services if you so desire. (defeats the purpose I know). I went this route as I want total control of my devices. Google has got out of hand with their apps and Play Services Framework and whatever else they cram in. The apps on 1Mobile Market are more up to date than the Amazon App store also which sometimes can be multiple versions behind. So just flash AOSP, grab the 1Mobile Market APK (Google it) and go to town.

Is anyone running with NoGapps s3 i9300?
What are the benefits of this?
Any other recommended playstore for daily apps ? Can I still use apps like Facebook, instargam, viber etc.
And will any gapp work like 'youtube'?

We all need to have preinstalled or need to install them manually.Without Google apps you can't have an access to the Play Store.Yes you can use all the apps available in Play Store on your phone.
@Mendim.M: There are more ways to get apps legally, like F-Droid, but you've to accept fewer apps, later updates,... I use only 20 dayly apps and aren't looking for the 'must haves' everyday, but recommend GPlay. You can try these GApps to install the base only.
Some of you have probably seen the recent and then quick take down of the Google Phone and Contacts app. It appears these apps would only install on Nexus and Google Play edition phones with 6.0.
Has anyone gotten them to install on the S6/Edge. I did some research and it looks like there where ways to get them to install on phones with 4.4 (older version) and then on the G3/4 with 5.0 (these methods did not work on the S6) I would really like to use the Phone app with the google powered caller ID I dont care as much for the contacts app.
Hi,
a few weeks ago I could disable Google Play Services, but for a few days I can't longer disable Google Play Services, I don't know Why? I don't use "google gmail android" account for use this phone, and I don't need that because I use APKPURE for download my APK, but when I'm connecting to the internet, the Google Play Services is restarting automaticaly on my device, without my agreement. :cyclops:
I Add a screenshot for this post, because this is unsolvable problem at this time. Thank you for Helping !:good:

Because it's an android one device and its apps are hugely dependant on play services.
You can force stop play service but opening any app that uses it will cause play services to run in the background.
Your using the stock launcher ya? That's pixel launcher which needs play services or it will crash.
Nearly every stock app on the phone is a Google product (messages, phone app, chrome etc)
If you don't want Google play then flash a custom ROM and use microg instead of gapps
