[Q] Deleting google apps on galaxy Nexus

---

I kept reading that if you buy the g nexus, you have the option to delete any factory apps that you don't want. But i can't figure out how to delete g. maps or google+ on my nexus. & every time i disable them they start running again. How can i delete them? btw my phone is not rooted, but i have flashed updates ect.

the only way to remove system apps is you have to be rooted, unless, like you said that the g nexus you can. If you decide to root your phone you can use titanium backup app from the market to delete google apps and other stock apps that come with the phone. Also You can use any file manager like Es or astro and manually go to system/app and delete what you want. Hope this helps

Just be sure you are cautious about what you choose to delete as for myself recently i used Titanium Backup Pro to delete several system apps and i deleted the ability to go into my "Accounts & Sync" settings panel anytime i pressed accounts it would reboot my phone so i was never able to change sync options or add accounts! Until i flashed 2.3.5
