[FLASHABLE ZIP] Remove GApps in ROM: now supports Android 10
NOTE: script no more maintained. Even not try it on Android 11/12/99.
There by default not possible to edit files on system partitions (here
patch) and their quantity has increased.
Also firmwares even more depend on gapps so risk of bootloop even higher.
Script in first post
very discounted and therefore deleting not all files.
Here's updated version. Script automatically mounts
/system and
/vendor, you don't need do it by yourself.
Script compatible with Android 2.3...10.0
Guaranteed delete will be only on custom rom's with built-in or OpenGapps and Pixel / Nexus / Android One firmware due of possible other file naming in manufacturer stock firmware.
I tried to collect all files related to Google.
Script removes apps from
/system and
/vendor partitions. Probably some of them was updated and additionally stored in internal memory.
So you need manually delete a bit of remainders as normal app.
Batch deleting available with root in
Link2SD
Some bits of files can left on device (like important WebView), but almost all other will be removed.
Also
here open source version of gapps (microG)
IMPORTANT!
–
Maybe some stuff or whole ROM will broken after applying this ZIP because modern firmwares very depends from gapps
– I've tried to remove as much possible Google-related files
– don't apply script after wipe /data, only after first boot. Otherwise execute
these commands
– Before applying set
Settings > Apps > Gear icon > Default apps > Voice & assist > both to "None" (
source)
– Script removes
Google Launcher, install 3rd-party app or device will not boot!
– Script removes stock
Google keyboard, install 3rd party before applying!
– Script removes
Google Dialer, install 3rd-party before applying!
– ...and many other apps
– Apps that display
Google Maps can't be installed
– A lot of apps requests
Google Play Store and
Google Play Services which will be removed
– Network location will be unavailable because it's part of gapps
– Recommended to wipe dalvik-cache to rid out of unused odex-files
