Applications and Google services(GApps) are installed on almost any Android device. Many owners of gadgets cannot imagine their life without them, others consider it unnecessary and do not use it. Regardless of how useful it is, you have to acknowledge the disadvantages of GApps, such as faster battery drain or the transfer of personal information. Don't want to be spied on, and the gadget slowed down and wasted energy for some reason? Then get rid of GApps - by uninstalling them, you will not lose the ability to install mobile applications.
Few people care about the presence in the system of pre installed applications Google. For the most part, they only add to the convenience of using the gadget, but GApps also have drawbacks that can motivate an angry device owner to remove them.
Collecting information about the user. Google not only does it openly, but also openly admits it. Why is she watching us? Officially - for selling targeted ads. (Yes, yes, even our letters from Gmail are scanned for this.) Unofficially, you can build a whole pyramid of theories, starting with an alien conspiracy and crowning with the slogan "scandals, intrigues, investigations." For example, a couple of years ago Google started to massively buy up development companies artificial intelligence... Especially those who have succeeded in this at least to some extent. Do you dare?
One way or another, there is absolutely official surveillance, and many people do not like it. A side nuisance of all this is traffic consumption.
The service, which was not used in principle, managed to eat 13 MB in a few months.
Increased battery consumption. Recently Avast Software has compiled a list of auto-launch applications that reduce time autonomous work devices and take up RAM. Six of the ten most "voracious" apps in this anti-rating are Google apps. But not everyone wants to carry with them external battery or use a high-capacity battery.
Top 10 most voracious apps according to Avast
The occupied space in ROM and RAM. For advanced gadgets, this is not very relevant, but not everyone is chasing new products, and even smartphones with 16 GB of flash memory are sensitive to those approximately one hundred and fifty megabytes that GApps occupy. Finally, Google Apps take up space in random access memory, and the further, the more appetites grow not only for Android OS, but also for GApps. Every megabyte of at least 2 GB of RAM is worth its weight in gold for an active gadget lover today, and all these gluttonous applications are taking them away and taking them away.
So, you decided to experiment and try to live without Google apps and services. Naturally, you do everything at your own peril and risk, so first evaluate own strength and the ability to get out of a predicament if something goes wrong. And it is in this case that the first step is to make a backup copy of the system.
Creating a system backup. To create a backup of the entire system (), you must use the built-in recovery capabilities. Recovery (from the English. recovery mode- "recovery mode") is a kind of mini-OS, which is in any smartphone. It is stored in a special area of memory and has an extremely limited set of system functions like a factory reset. We are interested in third-party recovery with much richer functionality. The most popular third-party recoveries are CWM (ClockworkMod) and. How to enter Recovery read -
Among other things, third-party recovery allows you to do backup images systems in the form of a single archive, which contains firmware and other files from internal memory apparatus. It does possible creation and restoring backups in just two clicks - perfect option for all sorts of experiments with the gadget. You need to save backups to a memory card or external drive.
To do backup to TWRP it is necessary to select the item in the main menu Backup, and in CWM - Backup and restore... In most cases, the default settings will be fine.
We get Ruth ... In the vast majority of cases rooting process is simple and does not carry any risks. You will need to connect your smartphone to your computer and run the utility or run special application on the smartphone itself.
Removing services and Google applications... Actually, the very process of getting rid of Google applications is that you simply delete the files of applications and libraries from the corresponding folders. Delete those that you think are superfluous. Here is a list.
/ System / app folder (most applications):
- Books.apk - Google Books
- Magazines.apk - Google Logs
- Maps.apk - Google Maps
- Music2.apk - Google Music
- CalendarGoogle.apk - Google Calendar
- Chrome.apk - Google Chrome
- Drive.apk - Google Drive
- GoogleEars.apk - Google Ears (analogue of Shazam)
- GoogleEarth.apk - Google Earth
- Hangouts.apk - Google Hangouts
- Keep.apk - Google Keep
- PlayGames.apk - Google play Games
- PlusOne.apk - Google+
- Gmail2.apk - Gmail

- LatinImeGoogle.apk - keyboard with gesture support
- QuickOffice.apk - QuickOffice
- Street.apk - Google Street
- SunBeam.apk - SunBeam live wallpaper
- Videos.apk - Google Movies
- YouTube.apk - YouTube
Since the applications are scattered across several folders, let's move on to others. In the folder / system / priv-app there are services and frameworks for the synchronization mechanism ... and tracking, of course:
- CalendarProvider.apk - keeper of calendar data
- GoogleFeedback.apk - system for sending reports on using google Play
- GoogleOneTimeInitilalizer.apk - installation wizard for additional Google applications
- GoogleBackupTransport.apk - data synchronization of installed applications, Wi-Fi passwords and some settings
- GoogleLoginService.apk - a service that connects the device with a Google account
- GooglePartnerSetup.apk - a service that allows third-party applications access google services
- GoogleServicesFramwork.apk - framework with additional functionality
- Phonesky.apk - Play Store
- talkback.apk - voice notification about events on the device
- PrebuiltGmsCore.apk - Google services, the core of the entire GApps suite;
- SetupWizard.apk - setup wizard on first launch
- Wallet.apk - Google Wallet
- Velvet.apk - Google search, includes desktop search bar and Google Now
And finally, in the folder / system / framework are the frameworks necessary for the operation of Google applications:
- com.google.android.maps.jar
- com.google.android.media.effects.jar
- com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar
After deleting unnecessary applications you need to reboot, and then check the functioning of the remaining system applications- did any of them fail due to the lack of a part of Google services.
Life without GApps, but with apps
So, we got rid of unnecessary Google applications and took a deep breath. But what to do when you need to install the game or application program? There is no official app store on the device now. But, as usual, there are several ways to solve the problem that has arisen.
Downloading and installing apk files. Keep in mind that now you often have to manually install applications via apk files that you yourself download somewhere. APK file- this is the format of archives of programs for Android; they are required to install the application. To do this manually, you need first of all in the system settings. Then run the apk file - you can directly download it from the Internet (again at your own peril and risk, of course) or, for example, use the help of the service APK Downloader: on this site you can download the apk of those applications that are presented in the Google Play Store. There is a search system and a catalog by sections - everything is just like in a regular Play Store. You download the apk, transfer it to your smartphone, start the installation and hope that this application does not need any of the remote GApps to work.
By the way, it is even easier to search for applications: find them in Google Play on the desktop desired application in the browser and replace the part “ play.google.com" on the " apk-dl.com". It's simple.
Installation alternative stores applications. You can do without manipulating apk files and install app store clients in which all programs are legal and checked for viruses.
App store, which is installed when logging in from mobile device by this link. There is no Russian language and the choice of the country "Russia" in the settings, therefore this service suitable for those who do not have English with special problems... The store, according to Wikipedia, contains more than 800 thousand applications.
An online store from the Yandex company, which contains more than 100 thousand applications, all of which have been checked by Kaspersky Anti-Virus. One of the features of the store is the ability to pay for purchases using the Yandex.Money service or from an account mobile phone... Apparently, work on this service in Yandex is frozen, but programs continue to be added there.
Another application store, which contains about half a million programs, and they are exclusively free. They can only be downloaded as an apk to a smartphone or desktop. The smartphone has its own application that simplifies installation. The market does not require registration, which is important for maintaining anonymity.
Using Google services without GApps
Free alternatives mail client, maps, and Google drive a bunch of. But you don't have to install any applications at all, because if you need to use one of the Google services, you can open its web version. By the way, we advise you to check how their web versions work before uninstalling certain Google applications and services. The functionality of the service in a browser is often less than in a special client application... Plus, not all of them store your data. For example, YouTube in the browser will not remember the moment at which you stopped playing the video. At the same time, sometimes web versions take up less RAM space and generally consume less resources.
How to get Google apps and services back
If something is hopelessly messed up or you don't like life without Google, you can restore all services and applications in one of three ways.
Installation through recovery. You need to find archive file with GApps specifically for your smartphone, and ideally for your firmware version, stock or third-party. Open GApps application will help to select and download such a file. Read more here ( How to install Google services). It automatically detects the system version and architecture and offers to download correct file... The archive downloaded in one way or another must be placed on an SD card.
Restore firmware from backup. If you made a backup using CWM or TWRP, you need to reboot into recovery mode. Usually, this requires holding the volume down or volume up button when turning on the smartphone. Having entered the recovery, the first step is to clean the drive from the remnants of a non-working system. If you have installed TWRP, select item Wipe, then Advanced Wipe and check the boxes as shown in the screenshots.
In case of CWM just select the item Wipe Data / Factory reset and confirm the action. After that, return to the main recovery menu and click on Restore(for TWRP) or Backup and restore (for CWM). Regardless of what kind of recovery you use, next steps will be intuitive: you need to select an archive from your a backup copy and confirm the action. If there is no backup, after reset ( Wipe), you can install the same or a different firmware on your smartphone through recovery, supplied in the form of a zip file. More details here:

Use the Calendar application to view events that you create yourself and events to which you have been invited. When setting up a mobile device for the first time, namely, when setting up the main Google account, the events stored in your account were added to Calendar. V this application you can also add data from other accounts. You just have to sync them with your application.

- Week - contains a schedule that characterizes a week. As in previous versions, activities that take up the whole day or last several days are at the very top of the table.
- Month - in this mode we have a schedule of events scheduled for the current month. If the day contains any activities, it has a blue column next to it. V in this case both days with events and empty days are displayed.
In order to view an event, you just need to click on it while in any of the modes.
It is possible to invite employees to events. You can also accept / decline invitations. In this case, the event to which you were invited will be automatically entered into your "Calendar". In this case, the time of the event will be displayed according to the time of the time zone of the network.
To create an event, you need to do the following:
- In absolutely any view of the Calendar application, press the Menu key, then New Event to open the event details form.
- Submit necessary information O upcoming event... For example, you can enter the name of the event, the time, and some additional information. If you are using more than one calendar, you can choose the one where you want to place the event.
- If you wish, you can invite guests to the event by notifying them about it. To do this, you must enter the addresses in the "Guests" field Email people you want to see at your event. To separate addresses among themselves, you must separate them with a comma.
- You can also specify some Extra options using Menu -> Show advanced options.
- After completing all necessary actions you must click "Finish" and save the event.
If you suddenly need to change the information about an event, you can simply click on it and then click Menu -> Change Event. This will open the event details screen you already know. Fill in the required event details and click Finish.
If suddenly your plans have changed, you can delete the event. You can also delete events created by other users (if you have access rights). To delete, you need to open the required event, and then select Menu -> Delete event.
