The goal is to switch from Gapps to e.g. NanoMod, to remove all Google services (except CoreGms.apk and Webview [cause they're important]) to get control pack to you!

Please backup all Google apps or a full backup via recovery before you install it. It's highly recommended to wipe dalvik/ART-cache to rid out of unused cache files after flashing the package.

How does it work?

  • Script removes apps from /system partition. Probably some of them was updated and additionally stored in your internal memory.
  • The flashable-zip supports Android 2.3+ up to Android Nougat 7.1.2.
  • The script can mount /system automatically which means you don't need do it by yourself.
  • The script was tested on CyanogenMod (LineageOS) only but theoretically should work on most ROM's.
  • It's flashable via CWM and TWRP.

What will be deleted?

  • The Script will delete the default Google Launcher, it also removes Google Dialer, Google Keyboard, Google Maps, Google Play Store & Google Play Store which means you need to install alternatives before you use this script - or simply install NanoMod.
  • The full list is viewable/editable under 'delete.sh'.
