My last phone was a Titan or Moto G2 XT1068. In that, I rooted the stock ROM and tried uninstalling gapps but it went into bootloop. Only if I installed a third party launcher, uninstall gapps except Google, and then after a successful reboot I uninstall Google, it used to work. But mostly, the home screen never showed after uninstalling Google.
My question to you guys is
How can you get rid of gapps from Athene running latest stock rom? I tried System App Remover, but it kept failing. I rooted my phone with phh's superuser.
Pls help
Have you tried this debloater script in the Mods section? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/stock-rom-debloater-t3729594
As always, back up your device before using.

AFAIK stock ROM comes with Google Now Launcher, and removing Google app with cause force close to Now Launcher, (may be because of Google widget or side screen??)
You can remove google app from /system/priv-app or /system/apps (don't know exact place and folder name.)
Also remove google now launcher and install other launcher or use flashable launcher installer zip (like trebuchet or others) available on other XDA forums..
After it, wipe delvik and cache from TWRP, also take backup before proceeding to remove anything..

You cannot use Google keyword search and other things that you might want to use from Google. So easy way: freeze it, test everything, then decide if it should be deleted or not.

Depends what you mean with function properly... For example: Google play store is also a Google app. You need a third party app store like F-Droid or install every app separate per apk file.
Living without Google is possible, but you should decide. There's no yes or no in terms of recommendations. Only minor apps are outside the Google play store available.

Is the Convert User app to System app part of Titanium Backup Pro, or is it in the free version too? I'm not sure how up to date this page is, which suggests this feature is only in the premium paid version: https://www.titaniumtrack.com/titanium-backup.html
Still, it's such a useful tool it's worth buying the premium version for

Your Device can run fine without google Search & Google now launcher.
I've made a zip file for that, try it out. But remember to install and make some other launcher as default before flashing this zip.

Hello all!
I have a Galaxy Note 4 910C(exynos), rooted and using DN5, and I always see people talking about bloatware that comes pre installed and are useless.
I'm wondering what are acutally those and how do I remove them?
Thx in advance!
since you'r rooted, use titanium backup. You can try the app called Greenify or simply disable those apps your app manager.

For a rooted device, KNOX related apps are bloatwares since rooted KNOX disabled & can't be used on a rooted device.
The other bloatware is user preference.
Which app that you don't use is a bloatware

That's exactly what I mean, any apps that you don't need.
You can even remove phone (if you never use your Note 4 for a phone call ) & Touchwiz.
Rule of thumb, if you never heard of it & it's not inside the App Drawer, don't delete it
NOTE: TouchWiz is not in the app drawer
I do it in a simpler way. First I clear the data from settings and then using root explorer I go to system/app folder and I directly delete preinstalled apps that I never use for example- samsung push service, mobile print, chat on, hangouts, google books, yahoo weather, etc. Theres another folder called system/priv-app
WARNING: Don't delete apps you have absolutely no idea about. It can cause your phone's OS to malfunction.

This. I don't have a note 4 (yet). but I learned it the hard way on my nexus 4. thank god for TWRP and its file manager.
Usually what i do is backup the app before i uninstall it to see if i notice any system instability caused by uninstalling it.

Guys,
I know many people were complaining about Facebook- Facebook Messenger and Instagram being preloaded on MM for ZOOA.
Actually, even though it's written on Asus Official release notes, there is no (at least for me) Facebook- Facebook messenger
or Instagram preloaded on Official MM for sku WW. No more worries about those heavy memory and battery draining apps
So, enjoy the new Official MM which is smooth and fast!

No, you will only receive updates for those apps from the play store.
And since they're part of the system now, you can't remove them (without root), only disable them [emoji35]

What's your root method? This happened to me once before also. I was rooted with Magisk so I installed the add GA module. Quick and easy and it was back. If you are rooted with SuperSU then I would recommend uninstalling it with the uninstaller zip found in the SU thread. Alternatively you can install Magisk over the top of it but all the features like Magisk hide may not work. Another option would be to flash a different Rom. Nitrogen and Cortex are both good options and GA should work by default.

Rom Toolbox may be running into a conflict with the Pixel Launcher you flashed. I have a similar root and pixel launcher setup minus fonts and other customizations and my shortcut to RT widgets is broken as it will not create the shortcut on the home screen. I haven't had the time to investigate, but it isn't a high priority for me.
Have you tried a clean flash of the October rom?
- Wipe data/dalvik/cache
- flash your various stock rom images (bootloader, radio, boot, system, vendor)
- flash your root method
- flash pixel launcher and reboot into system.
- Setup phone, G Assist, etc.
- Install Rom Toolbox and desired mods
Lengthy process, but it may be worthwhile to contact JRummy, the author of the Pixel launcher, and sending various logs for analysis and help...
hello did you try to clear cache and data from the google app and reboot? that helped me.

I use Chainfire's systemless root method. I've had GA with this root method before... I'll research Magisk (I've read a little about it, but not enough to be comfortable to jump into it yet) if I'm not able to find another solution. Thank you for your suggestion.

Rom Toolbox may be running into a conflict with the Pixel Launcher you flashed. I have a similar root and pixel launcher setup minus fonts and other customizations and my shortcut to RT widgets is broken as it will not create the shortcut on the home screen. I haven't had the time to investigate, but it isn't a high priority for me.
Have you tried a clean flash of the October rom?
- Wipe data/dalvik/cache
- flash your various stock rom images (bootloader, radio, boot, system, vendor)
- flash your root method
- flash pixel launcher and reboot into system.
- Setup phone, G Assist, etc.
- Install Rom Toolbox and desired mods
Lengthy process, but it may be worthwhile to contact JRummy, the author of the Pixel launcher, and sending various logs for analysis and help...

I didn't flash any Pixel launchers... I use Action launcher. I was hoping to avoid wiping all my data, but will do it if I can't get anything else working. Thanks!
