Can I uninstall MicroG and install GApps? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I thought it was worth it to install MicroG via Nanodroid as an alternative to GApps. But I'm coming to regret it. There are just too many things not working right. And on some of my devices, I've found that GApps can be successfully tamed back so that it doesn't drain all my resources. So is there a way to uninstall MicroG, and I mean just the MicroG components, and install GApps instead? (Just the Pico version.) I know I could just clean install the operating system and then reinstall all my apps, but that's annoying, pardon my French. Is there a way to just install GApps at this stage? Do I absolutely need to go back to a virgin OS and have GApps installed before first boot?
Using Samsung Tab S (chagallwifi) running Resurrection Remix (Nougat).

@FailSafeNow
AFAIK there are no guides anywhere about how to uninstall microG completely and reinstall Gapps successfully. If someone could write such a guide I'm sure that would help a lot of people.

I'm using /e/ OS on Xperia X5 Compact.
MicroG came originally with /e/ OS and I don't know how to flash GApps instead. After all, MicroG neither doesn't work after I tried to uninstall it!
Take a look at this:
How remove microG of /e/ os?
Hi all, Thanks to your developement of /e/ os. I just want to remove microG of my device. Is it possible ? Thanks a lot.

It doesn't work for me, hope works for you.
If not, it seems reflashing ROM might be the only way to remove the stupid MicroG.

Installed CM12.1 with gapps 5.1 on my samsung galaxy s2 I9100 but the play store does not work, please can you help me?
Does CM12.1 is too much for my phone?

You probably ran out of /system space. Which gapps did you install? On stock partitions, you need a small gapps package to make it work properly. If you want a rom "running at 100%" you might be better off with a stable rom 4.4.4 or earlier as the newer lollipop roms are not yet stable(they still have bugs and/or missing features). Maybe not yet mature is a better way of explaining.
For gapps I would recommend CM GApps
For the rom I would suggest the 05/08 build as explained in the dev thread(if you want LP)
If you want a more stable rom I would try Slimsaber 4.4.4 by @fusionjack. It's awesome, but most of the major roms from kitkat and earlier are nice and stable and worth a look depending on what you want
Oh, and if you decide to go with slimsaber or another kitkat rom I use Minimal Edition GApps, but you can use any 4.4.x gapps you like
Thank you noppy22
I appreciate the help, I will try with the minimum version 5.1. if not solve I will try with the second alternative presented me.
If possible and as I am new to do these things, I would like him to explain the steps to be as follows:
How have the full version of gapps and want to install the version that aconselhor me the CM GApps what I have to do?
How do I remove the version I have already installed?
If after not work how do I delete the android version 5.1 and gapps I have to install the 4.4.4 you advise me? The kernel that I serve?
My android presents these data at this point where only the play store does not.
Cyanogen the 12.1 s v.1.0-i9100
android 5.1
3.0.64 kernel-cm g7e7a10d
21/04/15
compilation date

compilation number
cm-i9100-userdebug 5.1 LMY470

What changes should I make?

I'm not sure what you mean by full gapps. The smaller the gapps package, the better. The gapps are installed to your /system, so any other apps you want, you can install from play store(this is what I would recommend). If you want a bigger gapps package with apps like youtube or others you will need to repartition your phone, as you won't have enough room in your /system partition otherwise.
Here are two threads that will give you information if you want to do that. HERE and HERE. Just read carefully so you understand perfectly before you do anything.
To remove the gapps I would format /system. There may be other ways of just wiping gapps, not sure; you could try just flashing a new one over the old one, but I wouldn't recommend this. The only downside to formatting /system is you will wipe your rom as well. But you can just reflash it.
To go back to 4.4.4, just do a full wipe as you would to go to 5.1, using the recovery that came with cm.

Do you mean it works except for play store? Once you install the rom and small gapps you should be able to use play store
Thanks again
I will do what you say.
Yes only the play store dont work.
E: signature verification failed
Thanks for the help, as I could and was working well.
Now I have another of my milher equal and tried to do the same, put the 3 files on sd card
CWM
Cyenogen 12.1
Gapps minimal
That worked perfectly on the other.
This when trying to root with the CWM file that I used the other gives the error
E: signature verification failed

General Rom Question (Kate)

Hello There!
Which will be the best rom for Kate?
I used RR Nougat by now.Witch Psyman´s Firmware for VoLTE and the Camera flash zip.
Edit:
Should have said:
I just want a stable rom with good german translation. Less as possible extra Programms. Just enough with little Goole (Nano i have) And not must installed Apps.
Smothely run etc.
And well a good UKW Radio connection.
And pls with SuperSu or Superuser not the new Magic etc.
Additional question:
I didnt restart into normal rom after installing TWRP but internal Storage is correct. So im Ok? Or did i a crucial mistake?
First of all, there is no "best ROM". Everybody feels different about roms!
I would suggest the official LineageOS.
You can flash SuperSU manually. Just be sure you flash the latest zip.
Ok, which SuperSu should i flash=?
In the Lineage OS Thread it is written.
Official weekly builds: https://download.lineageos.org/kenzo (IMPORTANT you read this before proceeding with installation!)
I dont understand that good. https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...neageos-14-t3542491/post70719075#post70719075
Additional: As i wrote i Flashed Psymans Flashlight firmware and VoLTE do i need to flash it again?

[Fulmics 3.5] Remove gapps?

Hi,
i recently installed Fulmics 3.5 on my H850 and so far its i like it. But since i like my Android without gapps, could anybody share his/her experience in running fulmics without any sort of gapps? How can i remove it? The aroma installer didn't gave me the oportunity to remove all parts.
Thanks for your help!
Your only option is to use a root uninstaller like Titanium Backup and freeze/uninstall all Google related apps.

Google Services Framework - how to use apps that need them without any GApps

Hey there.
I am not a novice to Android but by no means do I understand how it all works in the background. So I need a little help understanding something that to me is not so obvious.
I have a phone, Huawei P8 Lite, which I haven't installed any GApps after I flashed a LOS 14.1 rom.
I mostly use F-Droid apps on it but occasionally I install a random Playstore app using Aurora Store (fork of YALPS).
Now, while most stuff on F-Droid is pretty seamless to install&use, the same is not exactly true regarding Playstore stuff which usually mentions the need for Google Services Framework (GSF) if memory serves me well. And since I don't have GApps, I don't have "GSF".
I know that some apps that require "GSF" still work apparently fine without "GSF".
But there are some other apps that mention requiring "GSF" and that actually fail to work. Regarding these latter apps, is there any workaround to make these apps work without installing GApps?
I know there's a pico and nano version of GApps, but even those install stuff on my phone that I really would rather not have installed in there.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

[Q] Remove Gapps

Hey guys,
im on oos 10.0.7 and i want to replace the gapps with microg. I would like to keep oos, because its running great with the arter kernel.
I´ve used the debloater module on magisk, but im stuck in bootloop after removing some google and oneplus stuff (list of debloated apps attached). My second problem is that i cant get signature spoofing to work.
Maybe someone tried this before and could lend me a helping hand.
Thanks
I would advise you to use a custom ROM as it will be much easier to use microG and signature spoofing. Heavily debloating OOS results in dozens of error messages and issues as apps that are meant to work with each other won't do that anymore.
It definitely could work but it is far more complicated and maybe even impossible to get it fully functional. Just my advice though
