Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone knew where a complete list of services that are used by Google Play, that can be safety disabled (based on app needs ex Gmail, Blogger, Play Store... ) can be located ?
I would like it individually disable services within this app, not the whole app.
Thanks
Questions belong in Q&A, not General.
Thank you.

I caught it checking location numerous times throughout each day. How can I disable it? Why is it snooping on my location? I don't even use the Assistant and turned off all notifications in Maps.
dont think you can disable it, if you really want to be scared install a process app from play store, google play services has about 350 odd processes running in the background... thats why I see some guys going for a google free phone, and using apk mirror and F-droid as alternative app stores.
Did you turn off the location trackin in google section in settings?
Hi,
I have had a Fire 10 for a few weeks and installed Google Play etc. I assume that once installed they would get updated automatically in the background. I have noticed that Play Services and Play Store are on 11.9.51 and 8.5.39 respectively but Google Account Manager Services Framework are still on 5.1-1743759. Is there a reason for this and if I can advance them on which version should I go for?
Regards
After few months my Honor 5x was very laggy, After did few tweaks, i found great improvement on performance.
Here i shared few tricks.
Please note i am on stock ROM without rooting.
1. [Important] Download & install "Google Go" app from playstore. (light version of "Google" app), uninstall/disable & force stop existing "Google app". I found great improvement on performance after doing this. (A restart required).
2. Install "Go" apps instead of regular ones. "Maps go", "files go", "youtube go", etc. note these are the latest light weight apps from google.
3. Disable & uninstall un necessary apps, i disabled few apps that i never used. ex: Google play books, google play games, google play movies, google play newstand, google+, Hangouts, Photos, Social Channels, etc.
4. Use any light weight apps
Holo launcher, (not hola launcher)
Youtube go instead of youtube,
Pixel Music player
Focus Go (Gallery)
5. Allow only necessary apps to run on background. I only allowed whatsapp, gmail, etc. (go to phone manager->battery->protected apps to check)
6. Enable Developer option, set all animations to .5x
Note: A restart required after.
Edit: Please note tip 1 is very important, i got huge performance boost after using "google go". Not only in Honor 5x, i tried the same on Asus Zenfone Max and got the same result (very good improvement on performance) from my friend. I request you to try the same in any old mobile (android 4.4.+) & let us know the give feedback. Rest of the tips are optional.
Good luck
Hello,
I can't seem to find Google Go in the play store, what might be the problem?

I checked and found Google go in all android devices. Check you android version, update all to latest version( os & apps).
I'm using official stock rom(6.0.1) and without any issue.

I think it depends of country where you are, or look in aptoid or apkmirror
I did this today, I have the USA L24 variant, and tried this just for giggles and IT WORKED. Wow what a difference! I had to get Google Go off Apk Mirror. After downloading it I went ahead and uninstalled/froze apps Google Go itself provides that were already installed by me. Whomever the OP is of this thread, thank you!

Hi,
I'm looking for a stock ROM without any Google apps or services.
I want to test the phone without Google and see if it is usable.
Is there a script I can use to remove all Google files from the phone?
Thanks

Are you aware of it? You can't use the same apps with the same behavior as before. It's not a big deal. messenger apps for example uses google play services for instant messaging. Many other apps are unreliable without play services.
But you need to root your stock rom and can freeze Google play services(only this one is enough for first testing). It's the main service/app that's needed for every other Google service/app/connection.

I am fully aware of the repercussions. I want to dive in and delete the files, not just freeze them.
I've used the terminal debloater as suggested by @rajatgupta1998 but it doesn't offer the option to delete lib, jar, xml and other files.
At least i don't get the black screen after deleting, which is better than all scripts i flashed so far.
You could try NanoDroid, but make a backup before.

But i'm not actually looking install microG or any other form of GApps.
I just want to delete the ones that come with the stock ROM to have a Google-free stock ROM.
It seems certain files (like Google Services Framework) cause the phone to be stuck at black screen during boot.

As I wrote before, you can do the following on stock rom: just freeze/delete Google play services app and you cut every Google communications. You can't execute play store, YouTube, drive, accounts or whatever Google app. You'll see no Google play services wakelock anymore. If framework files are there after that doesn't matter.

Looks like my only option so far.

Just do this test and see if it's suitable for your purposes

Testing now.
@strongst It's actually kinda like having the best of both worlds. It turns out some apps that required the maps API still works, including Maps (from Google).
The added bonus is that is can switch play services on at will.
I just deleted Google apps that i don't use.
Phone has been working without any issues at all. I have very few apps (whatsapp, automateIt, etc). i use xperia keyboard, FOSS apps like new pipe (for youtube), Dnotes (for keep), yalp store (for playe store).
Battery life and SOT have almost doubled.
Hi. I want to change my default Navigation app to basically ANYTHING except Google Maps. Wanted either CoPilot, Here, or Waze. I have my search provider set to Bing even but when I click on any direction link, it takes me to Google Maps. I've gone into Apps and even disabled that and ensured other Nav apps are set to open always, but it still goes to Google and Then takes me to the Play Store so I can download/Enable Maps. Any way around this? Pretty crappy of Google to do this....
Go to settings/apps & notifications/default apps/opening links. Scroll down to Maps and click on it. Click on open supported links and select don't open in this app. Hopefully it will let you choose your other navigation app when you click on a link but I've never tried that. The reason Android wants to use Maps is because Maps is integrated with Google Play Services and your Google account and a third party app won't provide the same kind of integration because it would require giving a third party app elevated privileges that are not allowed without root.
Hi and thanks. I had already tried that unfortunately. It doesn't work. ANY link you click for directions on a web page, even if asked to open only gives the option of Edge and Maps. A calendar invite or something like that will ask and give a list of valid mapping applications like Waze, Here, etc. But links on a web page......only Maps.
Having Maps integrated with Google Play services is just another reason NOT to want to use it.

If you're rooted there might be a tasker profile that does what you want but it doesn't seem to be possible without root.

Thanks for the reply. Bummer. So Google locks you into their apps even if you search with Bing. Seems like Microsoft got in a lot of trouble with the government about 20 years ago over this sort of tactics.
