you can start debloating the cell (give a look to warden threat)
once extra apps are removed/disabled you can go to google services
you need to identify:
- "google services framework" (gsf)
- "google services core" (gsm)
- "google playstore"
- generally speaking everithing having "google in the package name" (pay attention to contacts sync and calendar sync, just disable them)
the real problem is not about removing GServices but the related side-effects
- working in plane-mode,
- building your own magisk module to remove apps one at once (you can use "replace" via file-system approach to ne able to restore something if you run into boitloop)
- deleting /data/apps folder to avoid errors from updated apps (with google account references)
store, dialer, contacts, calendar, push notification, will not work,
also microG will not work propertly since the rom does not supoort signature spoofing
up to you to go with "aurora store" completely google-less or (keeping the oob playstore) install xposed+fake gapps, to support microG
(the process is not complex, but requires patience and time)
Good luck

hello everyone
i m very new to android. i m very keen on simplifiying something and very paranoid, so i have made a huge debloating on my xiaomi redmi 4x. i have uninstalled 90+ system apps including google accounts, play services, miui accounts, bluetooth etc. etc.
i use my device for only this apps: nova launcher, phone, sms, whatsapp, messenger lite, yandex maps, camera, recorder (including phone call) and web browsing (with firefox).
here is the thing, i cant stop myself going on debloating =) and wonder whether i can uninstall these apps or not, i have twrp 3.0 and a full back up incase anything happens. is it possible to break the device upto a point that can not be returnable via twrp by uninstalling any system app, or brick the device? thanks a lot..

maybe it will better if you provides full path of remaining apk.
you deleted the file from the zip package or after the rom flashed?

I always delete that in my roms and never noticed nothing wrong
If you want to remove play service and still be able to use the phone i suggest looking into microG otherwise you would start getting alot of FC
At the beginning I would like to say that I have spent 2 days on searching and trying without results. I have been dealing with other China phones and I was able to make Google Services working without much problem in the past.
But now I have 2pcs Honor 6A phones (they are different only in software version)
Android: 7.0
EMUI: 5.1
Firmware version: Delhi-TL20C01B121 and Delhi-TL20C01B130
I have tried to install standard set of APKs downloaded from APK mirror, like:
- Google services
- Google Login Service
- Google Services Framework
- Google Calendar
- Google Calendar Sync
- Google Contact Sync
etc.
And I have tried many versions, every time returning to factory setting before testing new set of version. Installation completes but Google Play Store does not launch, it exit with error: “Install core GMS packages to use Google Play Store”. You Tube works but when I add account it freezes or it does not make anything.
I also tried GMSInstaller from Huawei, unfortunately installation stops at 5% with error: “Software install Failed!”
I also manually extracted from GMSInstaller following files:
- GmsCore.apk
- GoogleLoginService.apk
- GoogleServicesFramework.apk
- Phonesky.apk
Most of them installed but GmsCore.apk fails install due to parse error.
Im really out of ideas, there is very little info about this phone online (apart from commercial info), which is strange because is quite popular budget phone in China. And I thing this thread will get quite popular.
I would like to ask You for Help!
Can you solve your problem? I just got the same model

Have you found the solution?
any solutions?
I thought I'd write a little guide on how to get Microg working with LineageOS, I've used Nanodroid in order to allow signature spoofing, since it isn't enabled in our LOS build (Play Store will not connect without this). So if you'd like to be free of GAPPS and want to try microg then follow the guide below.
STEP 1 - ENSURE YOU HAVE A CLEAN INSTALL, do a factory reset - If you don't, you'll get a bootloop after installation or errors with sync
STEP 2 - DOWNLOAD THE ZIPs you can find them here - androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=198483
There are two you need, one is the signature spoofing patch, and the other is Microg core. Or you can install the entire NanoDroid package which contains a whole bunch of useful open source apps, the full list of what's included is available here -
github.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid/blob/master/README.md
Once you have the files you need, reboot into recovery.
STEP 3 - Flash the patch first, then Microg or the full Nanodroid zip.
All going well you should now have everything you need, reboot.
STEP 4 - If you've booted all okay you should see an app labeled Microg Settings, open that and you'll see the option to check your installation. If everything is ticked you should be all good.
STEP 5 - If you only installed the bare minimum for Microg then you may need some more apps in order to get a few things working, the first is Network Location Provider which is available on F-Droid
droid.org/app/org.fitchfamily.android.dejavu
After installing this you should now see that under your Microg Settings UnifiedNlp is now ticked. This is required if you wish to use location services which are needed by some apps.
STEP 6 - If you use Google to store your contacts or use Google Calender then follow this to get Sync working - You'll have to login to your Google account first and enable logging in from less secure devices. Now since we don't have the Sync adapters from google anymore, we need another way to condavdroid
f-droid.org/app/at.bitfire.davdroid
Davdroid is an open source CalDAV/CardDAV sync adapter which will allow you to sync your contacts and Calender from Google
Open up DavDroid and add an account, choose the option that says Login with URL and password.
Google has the CardDAV service set uPMs
o use OAuth2, which does not support the username/password method of authenticating that DAVDroid uses. This URL is noted to possibly change in the future and should not be depended on for long-term synchronization.
Open DAVDroid and go to the page for adding a new service to sync with. Select the “Login with URL and user name” option. Enter this URL as the base URL, replacing*[email protected]*with your actual email:
Default contacts list:
googleapis.com/carddav/v1/principals/[email protected]/lists/default
STEP 7 - If everything went well with DavDROID you should now be able to Sync, however first you need to go to your phones settings, wipe the storage for the following Contacts, Contacts Storage and Phone/Dialler then reboot.
Your contacts should now Sync.
So there you go, a short guide to help those that want Microg. I spent hours trying to work out these issues so I hope it helps!.
Should anyone need any more help with us I will respond to PMs
i tried this but update to kernel pack couldn't work on 15.1 lineage, i wanted it to work SO bad too LOL.
@x86ARMx64 Can this be adapted to LOS 14.1 for other Samsung devices?
Hello,
I have a Ulefone 6E rooted with Magisk with HavocOS 2.9 custom rom installed
I'm trying to get rid of everything google (i don't have a google account)
HavocOS 2.9 has no google apps installed (no Gapps), nor Google mobile services or google play services.
Problem on this rom:
Without play services, GPS and many apps (transferwise, epayments...) that require play services don't work.
So i installed the nanodroid microG package NanoDroid-microG-22.4.20190811.zip
Thanks to microG, the GPS work in my GPS applications (API were installed) but i continue not beeong able to use my apps that rely on play services, i get this message:
Transferwise won't run without Play Services, wich are not supported by your device
So i'm guessing microG is not really using signature spoofing to fake the presence of play services to apps like Transferwise or Epayments ???
How can i make them work ?
I have enabled, in phone settings, spoof signature package app permission for microG services core, fakestore and signature spoofing checker (an app i installed to see if signature spoofing was working)
Note that the app signature spoofing checker tells me that signature spoofing is diseabled.
Also, in microG settings, in Self-check option, system grants signature spoofing permission is checked, but system spoofs signayure is unchecked (so it appears spoof signature is not really activated) (and i can't check this box)
I don't know what to do there....
Also note that Play services info app used to check if play services are correctly installed tells me Google Play services are invalid or incomplete (it told me the same thing when i installed the official google play services, that i tried before installing microG, downloaded from apkmirror com.google.android.gms_19.2.75_(100400-269183835)-19275037_minAPI28(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk)
So please tell me what to do to really make signature spoofing work and fake google play services (i didn't enable google device registration in microG settings because i want privacy, maybe that is the problem ? But if i enable google device registration there is no point in using microG for me)
Thanks in advance

google apps
you messed something up, most of the apps use google play service, you must have it.
I do not use google as well but it must be present into the device.
You have to re-flash the rom, after that before boot the phone up flash google apps.
After that, you can uninstall whatever you want except google play service, google framework and google play.
Google play can be disabled, no need to uninstall it. i use Aptoide as market much better than the google one.
all the rest will work, maps no need to log in.
You can not get rid definitely of google in android.
Out of interest, how does Havoc run on the phone? I've had mine for about 4 months now (rooted) but a bit sick of the buggy standard software. Do you recommend installing the custom OS?
It seems no one on the internet has tried to install Microg on any V60.
(My V60 is on Android 10)
I degoogled the phone using:

microG Installer Revived
I found two problems after removing Google:
1. "Lock screen & security" in Settings crashes probably because it relies on
Google Play Services and doesn't like the microg replacement.
2. Serial # is not shown in About under Settings. This is mentioned by user @KouaV1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/v60-bootloader-unlock-and-magisk-root.4358785/post-87826097
KouaV1 mentions "service disabler". Can I use it for my problem?
User @Svirusx mentions deleting permission files:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...h-safetynet-pass-oneui-4-1-oneui-5-0.4435609/
I can't because the System-RW (created by user lebigmac) doesn't fully work on the V60.
Does anybody have some guidance or info on installing MicroG?
