Remove gapps and replace with gapps from opengapps?

[vortex-5]

I'm curious if this is possible with the stock rom any of my current attempts seems to fail with apps not being able to load properly.

I'm assuming there are some dependencies and it's not possible to remove all the gapps from the stock rom only to replace them with the apps from opengapps.

main reason is I don't want things like google movies / chrome / the google app and most things that you can get from the app store I rather just install the app store version but I'm thinking that might not be possible or it would be a bad idea to try this on a stock rom. Even if it is rooted.

Why you don’t Just disable this app.

If you are rooted there is a debloater app for stock OOS. You flash it in TWRP, an Aroma installer comes up and you can pick which Google and OP system apps and some non essential services that you would like to uninstall. It works very well.

Aroma debloater seems to have been removed but thanks for the link. I'll check around in that forum.

I already have a lot of the gapps disabled but on my previous phone I was on a custom rom and I prefered just not having the app entirely.
