[Q] How to remove some of the GAPPS ?

[derei]

After rooting and installing GAPPS, now I need to get rid of some ... like News and Weather, Google Talk, if possible the Market app (as I installed SearchMarket).
The problem is that I CANNOT. I tried with Root Uninstaller, but it cannot find any apps... it gives me SD card error. So, I need a way to uninstall them from where are installed (not from where Root Uninstaller is looking for apps and not finding any).

Please help, thanks.

You don't want to remove Market just because you installed SearchMarket as SearchMarket is just for searching and it invokes Market to show the result list and for installs. Market is dependent on Talk under the covers for communication with Google servers. I think you can uninstall Talk.apk (front end messenger) and leave TalkProvider.apk installed and everything will work OK. To uninstall Talk.apk use ADB or a root explorer like ES File Explorer to rename Talk.apk to Talk.apk.bak and verify the Market and other GApps you use still work. When you're sure you can delete Talk.apk.bak.
