Google clocks, calendar, fit, chrome, drive, books, maps, photos... almost every apps from google LLC have android 12 material U style widgets on my 1 III running android 12 61.1.A.4.78. Why doesn't the app 'Google' have these just like on Pixel? Is it just me or nobody has it?

I am wondering if google will release any api so apps like foursquare, instagram, facebook, or twitter can use.
For example beeing able to see a card with local spots on foursquare,
Asking it to show you a specific friends photo on instagram,
Updating your facebook status or twitter.
etc?
Developers can get pretty creative with that.
I root my GT-P3113 tablet and installed AOKP for the first time yesterday. But after awhile I noticed there was no gmail, youtube, chrome, or etc apps on the device. I did flash gapps, but I was wondering what exactly gapps adds? There was already a Google Search and Voice Search app along with the Play Store and other basic apps.
So what apps are included in gapps? And should I be seeing more apps?
The Google Apps (or GApps as they are commonly referred to) are the proprietary applications by Google included in many Android devices. Most of the applications can now be found and updated via the Google Play Store.Some of the apps include the Google Play Store itself, Google Talk, Google Sync (for adding and synchronizing Google accounts), Google Backup Transport, Car Home, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google Search, Google Voice Search, Google Music, and Google Docs.

I just had to uninstall/disable Google+ app to get rid of the annoying "Google Photos" app. I think the "auto awesome" is feature is f****** stupid. I just spent an hour crawling through my /system/app directory looking for the package to delete as root, after I found out that it wasn't easily disabled/uninstalled like any regular app.
I can't wait until Ubuntu mobile is more stable. When it is, I am ditching Android. I'm tired of how companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc., all want to snoop on every bit of your private photos, emails, text messages, etc. They all want to be your "one and only" application, and that's unrealistic.
Sorry, I'm a bit annoyed right now. I don't mind Google+ as a social platform, but I do think it was stupid of them to force their stupid photo **** onto the whole world by making it a mandatory part of Google+ mobile app. Screw that...I will just use the mobile site if necessary.
Certain phones can bootloop if you uninstall the wrong Google apps. You should always ask what kind of phone and update before saying everything is ok. It is rare, but some LG phones will soft brick with the Security Error if you uninstall typically innocuous looking Google apps like Google Books.
Hello guys!
Could you share with me thought about what processes I can freely freeze on my phone.
I already done with Launcher, Weather, Default SMS and Phone processes.
If I go deeper how far could i go before system hangs up?
I'm running a T-Mobile v10, but here's a short list:
All nonessential Google apps (except Play Store, Play Services, a few others). A few examples are Hangouts, YouTube, Google Drive, Google Dosc, Google Photos, Android Pay, Chrome, Cloud Print, Slides, Sheets, Google Maps, Google Music, Google Movies and TV, Gmail
All T-Mo apps can be frozen, like App Source, Visual Voicemail, T-Mo TV, T-Mo app, T-Mo Name ID, com.tmobile.pr.adapt.
Others: Facebook (3 in my case), Instagram, Lookout, Amazon
Be a bit more careful with LG's apps, freeze one at a time, if something breaks then unfreeze it. I've had no trouble after freezing LG Backup, LG Health/Health Agent, all LG Weather apps, com.lge.drive.activator, Voice Recorder, Quick Help, Email, Exchange.
Hope that helps!
That's a good start posted before me.
You would be surprised how much you can disable or freeze with no problems in the core function of the phone.
The LG Smart apps can be frozen also, system stuff like calendar, calculator, key chain, built in email, tags, talkback, live wallpaper chooser, daydream, Verizon bloat almost everything can go Verizon login , my info zone, my Verizon mobile, my Verizon services, support and protection, Verizon location agent, the system update apps, file manager, thinkfree viewer, trusted face, cloud, cloud print, caller name ID, maps, emergency alerts, Exchange, Market feedback agent, Multi photo, Music (both of them), Nfc service, nfc settings, the fingerprint apps, mobile hotspot, Snap page, plus a variety of other apps I can't come up with at the moment from 5.1.1 that I don't see anymore on 6.0 (replacement phone lost my root).

I was able to sideload google calendar on wear and it looks good, a bit oversized, is there a way to edit the apk and make it smaller to fit the screen better?
Why not just use one of the many Android Wear calendars in the Play Store?
I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appfour.wearcalendar
