well - I want to get rid of google. I've successfully installed google services on my device as mentioned here howto install google play. The thing is - i want to be googlefree. I don't want to discuss why, so please open another thread for that.
Before we go to the main topic I'd love to leave a deinstall and clensing instruction (without resetting the whole android system) [PLEASE HELP ME WITH THAT]:
- remove play store as any other app
- remove google settings as any other app
But what won't work without it? Which apps are google-related. Please let us know, and give us alternatives, if possible.
Apps which won't work, why, and alternatives:
- Signal, GCM related, Use Libresignal instead
- car2go, gmaps, use the homepage instead of the app
- drivenow, gmaps, use the homepage instead of the app
Thank you for helping us to get independent

There are tools for removing google dependencies, also there are fake google services for making such apps to work. Just google it and you will find a lot of solutions.

yorambh ( 2016-03-09 12:12:12 +0200 )edit@coderus Could you give more information about fake google services, what is the safety way to install those and where? or is it safe to just follow "first" google search results?
Thanks!
