Well, it means no play store so it's not helpful for me at least, i want to remove anything besides google maps and play store.
Anyways, thank you for your hard work!
Alternatives to Google Play Store are:
Aptoide
APKTOP
APPBRAIN
And we cannot use location service.
Does it work in jb also? I would really need it!
Edit: Yes it does! Great thanks!
Ps. I don t use this zip to get rid of gapps completely, but to clean gapps before installing a different gapp zip or when switching from ics to jb and viceversa ! (Full wipe don t delete gapps and some roms don t delete them also so this zip is very useful!)

It should work for any Android Phone I think
Updated with new code
I am getting installation aborted.
I am on 4.1.2. I had mounted system.

It is a bad .zip... You should try redownload zip
there appears to be an error in the zip... installation aborted message.
can you please reupload.
Can this be done manually with adb by deleting each app listed in updater-script ?
DOES NOT WORK. I get error 6. I think the ZIP is messed up.
[FLASHABLE ZIP] Remove GApps in ROM: now supports Android 10
NOTE: script no more maintained. Even not try it on Android 11/12/99.
There by default not possible to edit files on system partitions (here patch) and their quantity has increased.
Also firmwares even more depend on gapps so risk of bootloop even higher.
Script in first post very discounted and therefore deleting not all files.
Here's updated version. Script automatically mounts /system and /vendor, you don't need do it by yourself.
Script compatible with Android 2.3...10.0
Guaranteed delete will be only on custom rom's with built-in or OpenGapps and Pixel / Nexus / Android One firmware due of possible other file naming in manufacturer stock firmware.
I tried to collect all files related to Google.
Script removes apps from /system and /vendor partitions. Probably some of them was updated and additionally stored in internal memory.
So you need manually delete a bit of remainders as normal app.
Batch deleting available with root in Link2SD
Some bits of files can left on device (like important WebView), but almost all other will be removed.
Also here open source version of gapps (microG)
IMPORTANT!
– Maybe some stuff or whole ROM will broken after applying this ZIP because modern firmwares very depends from gapps
– I've tried to remove as much possible Google-related files
– don't apply script after wipe /data, only after first boot. Otherwise execute these commands
– Before applying set Settings > Apps > Gear icon > Default apps > Voice & assist > both to "None" (source)
– Script removes Google Launcher, install 3rd-party app or device will not boot!
– Script removes stock Google keyboard, install 3rd party before applying!
– Script removes Google Dialer, install 3rd-party before applying!
– ...and many other apps
– Apps that display Google Maps can't be installed
– A lot of apps requests Google Play Store and Google Play Services which will be removed
– Network location will be unavailable because it's part of gapps
– Recommended to wipe dalvik-cache to rid out of unused odex-files
>>> Use it at your own risk and make full backup via recovery before flashing! <<<
Previous more "lite" version: remove_gapps_2.3-8.1.zip

Here's updated version attached to post.
Script automatically mounts /system, you don't need do it by yourself.
Disclaimer: _maybe_ some stuff or all ROM will broken after applying this ZIP.
Use at your own risk.
Especially apps with embedded GoogleMaps such as Foursquare, Instagram and many other.
They will be hidden in Play Store and can't be installed manually because of lack of framework for it.
So there's two versions. One with prefix "Safe" keeps framework.

Very slightly updated archives, added 2 new files. Please, read that post again.
Now will delete old gapps > compatible with CM7.
Hope it helps.
I want to try cyanogenmod and install all that is needed, obviously also vending and stuff but I don't want to have goolge+ nor hangout not gmail. Can I install gapps and remove them 100% safely? Is there a way to install only a subset of the apps contained in the zip? Any solution?

Best thing to do is to just flash the gapps then manually remove the apks of the apps you don't want from the system. You could modify the zip (remove apks) resign it and flash the 'lighter' zip, but make sure it is done properly because the last time I done it I ended up in a bootloop which pretty much wasted my time.
What do you mean exactly? Should I flash, boot up, and with a file browser seek these files and delete them, or delete them after flashing, without letting my device boot up?

Flash the ROM then the gapps, then reboot the device via the recovery. Once it is booted use the built in file manager (or your own choice manager) with root access to remove the apks. Once removed reboot the device and your done. This is what I always do, I don't like messing around with zips.
Also be careful of what you remove, if unsure then google the apk name, better safe than sorry.
Or alternatively you can use a claimed to be lightest gapps package.

I'd also recommend using a light/slim/small gapps package, you can find many of them on xda. If some apps are missing (like Gmail or maps), you can install most of them from play store once you have the Google service installed (they are on any gapps package)
Go for the pico modular package from the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
try find with google 7-2_GApps_Minimal_4.4.4_signed.zip only 23mb tested with all rom based cm 11 4.4.4
Today started to have problems with updating apps from the store.
Seems I can install new app from the store, but not to update...
It says I haven't enough space, but I've 3gb on internal and 22gb on external.
I tried to wipe /data /cache and restore factory version of the store but the problem still happens.
Wiped /cache of google play services too..
Looking around, seems to be releated some odex files in /data/app or /data/app-lib (I'm not sure)
I've also read it's related to Download Manager disabled/freezed (is not my case)
Any ideas? (although I'll think the only solution - and most suggested - is the well known nandroid backup&restore)
Try using modded version of google play

Can't install it as it overwrites the store (which is considered as an installed/upgrading app).
In any case, I've reinstalled the recoveries (stopped to work, red lights a the boot, now works).
I'll do some security backup and then try install patched store.
If I can't use use the app installation method (not enough space), may I can use adb to push the store .apk?
I suggest you to reflash the same gapps package that you flashed when you flashed your ROM.
If you are going to use a new gapps package, pls wipe system, flash ROM and flash gapps again.

Download modded apk, rename to Phonesky.apk, move to /system/app and substitute the existent apk in there(remember to give right permission) and reboot phone
I reset phone in the end as it started to have problems to reading external sdcard (not mounted but in CWM worked) and has became too laggy.
Hi All,
I originally posted this thread in the Help and Troubleshooting section, but it got no traction over a couple of weeks, was hoping someone can help me out here. I tried to delete that thread but was unable to do so...
I currently am using a stock D415 LG L90 (Running Lollipop). I have no intention of rooting anytime soon, but my internal memory keeps getting full from multiple apps I have downloaded. I have a 32GB SD Card which is only using half of its capacity. I currently have it set to save all images and video captured to be stored onto the SD Card.
In my previous phones, I was easily able to dedicate my SD card as my primary source of storage, thus never having to run into the issue of having no memory and what not. Are there any solutions like these available?
I am open to rooting, I am kind of picky of not voiding the warranty as I have only had the phone for 10 months, but if rooting is my only option, I am willing to go ahead and do so.
Did I misunderstood you, or do you want apps to be installed on external card?

I want literally everything on my SD card, and make it the primary source of storage. I have moved as much of apps, set the my camera to store images and video to my SD card, and tried my best to keep the internal storage as empty as possible, but this is at a point where I can't even update my apps because my phone's internal storage is full.
I have already moved as many possible apps from my internal storage to the external storage, but that hasn't helped by much.
There are lots and lots of junk files even if you think your phone is clear. Try some apps like clean master, it will also help you to manage the rest of your files.
Also, dunno if it helps you anyhow, but you may want to try link2sd or something like that to have control over apps space
I can't come up with other ideas, sorry for being somehow useless

I actually was using the Clean Master app, I think the best solution at this point would be to switch my primary storage to my SD card, it is kind of annoying having to always go back and clean up my internal storage every few weeks...

Use link2sd, create second partition on sd card, set it to 2gb or how much you want and then link the apps (basically it moves all of the app's data). You can search for a tutorial on how to do it. Then, you can set it to link every new installed app to sdcard and also relink it when it is updated automatically.
P.s. you need root for link2sd

Oh okay, thanks for the tips! Just out of curiosity, would installing a custom ROM be a better solution, where I just go in and manually change some of the code on the Android configuration files (as this was achievable in previous Android versions).

I don't know about this, but i can say stock 5.0.2 is the most stable rom so far and if you don't mind LG Smartcover, LG easyhome and lg weather( these lg apps are incompatible, but it will be fixed soon also for Lg l90/g2mini, as it was fixed for g3), you can install xposed alpha and the module xinternalsd which swaps internal sd to external sd, so apps will think like that. to install xposed follow this guide here. this will aditionally empty some space from your internal sd, alongside link2sd.

No, rooting your phone is a prerequisite of xposed. Rooting allows user to acces and modify system files. Xposed basically allows user to modify system files without actually touching them through the modified framework(the files will be the same after you uninstall module/xposed) . plus, xposed modules allow much more advanced operations (e.g: fixing lollipop memory leak, blocking wakelocks- amplify, snapchat mods- snapprefs, instagram downloading- xinsta, youtube adblocking). I gave you some other examples of xposed modules. However, if you want to install xposed, you need: root, unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. You could search for tutorials on xda on how to do this.
P.s : latest xposed version v70 released yesterday has full support for lg devices (you just have to install it and wipe dalvik cache, no need to delete apps)

WOAH - this sounds absolutely brilliant! In reality, one can go ahead and modify the storage configurations on the phone too, right?
I just rooted my device using the KingRoot method, would you mind sharing all the links that include the steps to achieving all of this for this device? I for some reason can't find it for the LG L90.
Thanks!

As far as i get, you are a beginner, so you should be very careful installing those files. you could brick your device ! OK, here it is :
1. backup your data
2. rooting - follow this guide (it also works for L90), if you already rooted with kingroot but didn't switch to supersu (highly recommended), skip step 1 and 2. If you get in any trouble also check post #11.
3. install unlocked bootloader: it seems that your D415 comes with unlocked bootloader out of the box (also check this thread)
4. custom recovery: flash this file with flashify or any other flashing apps. make sure you click on "recovery" within app (also check this thread)
5.installing xposed: check this thread, flash zip withing twrp (click install then check the file, after flashing wipe dalvik cache and cache), please note the next reboot will take more time (optimizing apps). then install the apk and then the modules ( for your problem with storage, install xinternalsd, you have lots of modules to choose from, but make sure they are updated for lollipop). after installing modules, enable them in xposed app then reboot.
6. install link2sd if you didn't, check this guide to make 2nd partition. you may consider buying the plus for linking data and auto clear cache.
That's all! if you want to further clear internal storage, go to settings-storage- click on cache then clear it (this is basically what cleaning apps like clean master do). also, check within the same menu the miscellaneous files and erase some of them if you don't need them.
P.S: check xinternalsd settings, you could choose to enable it for all apps, or the apps you want. also, make sure you check "full access to external sd"

Following your steps, since I was already rooted with KingRoot, I went ahead and downloaded Flashify, and flashed the TeamWin Recovery. My LG L90 booted up to the Teamwin Recovery, everything is funcitonal and smooth. I from there installed the .ZIP file with the folder name "xposed-v70-sdk21-arm.zip". Though, when I click on Reboot, and than select Recovery, I than go to a image of the Android logo opened up with the text in the bottom saying "No Command".
Any idea here? Did I just delete my Android OS, and need to install a ROM?

Just want to update, I flashed CM12.1 on my phone, as I needed my phone to be functional enough to answer calls and text messages, I downloaded the ROM from here: http://quarx.cm-for.us/device-w7.html
I flashed it via the TWRP and flashed it as an image, it is currently booting up and displaying the setup settings right now. Not sure if I messed up in the previous steps for deleting my Android OS (I was running Stock).
I am not sure if I should go back to Stock at this point, but I just want my phone functional, fast, and lag-free and have no issues, as it is my daily driver.
Also - The root method I used, it is a good method, correct?

OK. So after much tinkering, I managed to install LG L90 Stock Lollipop ROM! I also flashed SuperSU, and it is now rooted! I was able to move all of my apps via Link2SD, and I now have free internal space! It took literally over 12 hours of tinkering (sometimes just leaving my phone as is), but I managed to get it resolved before midnight.
Going to install Xposed now, but just in curiosity, what kind of stuff do you recommend for me to check out via Xposed, or modules and stuff to select/install?

About the no command error, i haven't heard about this, but to reboot, you need to select reboot then "system" from recovery. Anyway,if you fixed this, i gave you some good examples of modules in the last post,you could also explore the whole list of modules to see what's good for you.
Hello All,
So I originally had 3GB set aside for the ext4 partition, but that has now become full, and I have quite a few apps that now have to be moved over... is there proper way to make the partition bigger, without having to format the SD Card?
Also, I have a 32GB SD Card, is it at all possible to make a 64GB SD Card useful with this phone? I figure I could buy a 64GB SD Card (they are so cheap now), and instead allocate 10GB towards that ext4 partition.

I am sorry but as far as I know lg l90 (405 for mine) goes as far as 32 GB. I have allocated 4 GB and I am far from reaching how could you get it full how many apps do you have ?
Have a wonderful day !
Sorry for the late response, I do have at least 35+ apps (I am an app developer and run multiple apps on my phone). I especially use apps like HERE Maps and the full Microsoft Office suite frequently which take up a good chunk of the storage.
Is the 32GB SD Card limit a software limit, or hardware limit? Can I somehow override this rule? I really love this phone, it fits my needs, but this storage is really bothering me, as a lot of my apps are pending major updates....
ROM last updated: 11/8/2018
Introduction:
HUGE thanks to the guys that got this going like root & figuring out hybrid stocks! This ROM is similiar to my previous ROM: [ROM][TMOBILE][S7_SM-G930T][Oreo 8.0 Rooted][WifiCalling], but is based on the newer OTA/FW G930TUVU4CRI2 & is MUCH faster, at least on my phone (See Tmobile versions here). I did NOT base it on G930TUVS8CRJ1 (the latest) because that has bootloader ver8, which we don't have root for yet. (DONT take that OTA since you can NOT downgrade!) And if I had to guess, the only difference are some minor security updates, but mostly the security update that prevents root!!! (So no thanks!)
Description:
Stock Tmobile Oreo 8.0 modified (G930TUVU4CRI2)
This is a hybrid ROM, meaning: because we cannot unlock our bootloader, our options are limited. A hybrid, at least in this case, is where we start with stock, then strip away all the Crapware, add some fun apps, and do some tweaks.
EXTREMELY debloated! Nearly bare minimum, while still retaining hardware functionality. Eg, Samsung Gallery & Camera exist so we get 4k recording, and there aren't errors when we pull up the Gallery to edit, etc. Yes, this means NO Samsung or Android Pay. There could be more apps to debloat but I haven't had a chance to revisit this yet. (Please provide suggestions if interested)
Everything possible I replace Samsung with Google
Solid ROM, very fast!
If you hate Samsung SW and just want a solid working ROM with very few install options to get you up and running this is for you.
This will delete all of your data on the phone! (Not external SD card) This is the only way so don't ask. Backup your data!
Features:
Tmobile Wifi Calling works, along with Visual Voicemail & Mobile Hotspot
Many Aroma Installer app options
(Optional) KevinsFavorites option in Aroma. I'm not sure I'd recommend it due to my tastes. If you're looking for some good common apps tho, it includes: Amazon, AmazonMusic, AndroidAuto, AquaMail, Gmail, GoogleDrive, GoogleKeep, GooglePhoto, Hangouts, IFTTT, Pandora, RootBrowserClassic, TitaniumBackup, Uber, & Wink (If you install these and want to remove them later, use TitaniumBackup (or similiar) to uninstall
Root Features: See Downloads->Recommended Root Zip & say Thanks!
Debloated
De-Knoxed
Decrypted /data/ partition (should be ready for Xposed, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet)
OTAs disabled
Speed & Build Prop Tweaks
Dual speaker option
Ruthless Launcher
Apps
AdAway
AOD Clock Face Themes
CPUSpy
DisableService
Kernel Adiutor
Samsung Video Editor and Trimmer
Xposed Installer

Hide "Hurricane" (RCS) icon: Install System UI Tuner by Zach Wander from Play Store ->Open App->StatusBar->Auto Detect->Uncheck com.samsung.rcs Thanks @pshipley73 for the tip! (BTW I didn't implement the VoLTE/IMS fixes out there because there's too much flux right now with Tmobile & RCS - I didn't want to break anything!)
Known Issues:
Visual Voicemail may fail to register, but restart phone and give it a few hours. It works eventually. (Same issue is on stock)
RCS (Rich Communication Services/Chat/Advanced Messaging) texts don't show up in Android Messages, or Textra apps (Same issue is on stock)
Fix: (Use Samsung Messages) - You may be able to call Tmobile to get this feature disabled with your account. Everything they say online doesnt work. If anyone inquires with them or knows a fix, PLEASE let me know!
Regular earpiece doesnt have sound during a WifiCalling call. Fix: Use Speakerphone. My thought is that this is isolated to using the dual-speaker mod. (Can someone please confirm?) (This is NOT an issue during a non-wificalling call.)
Changelog:
Version 4.7: First stable build

My bad! I added the ROM link
Regarding the apps you list: I thought I made some of those options in Aroma, but Titanium Backup (or whatever) can easily remove any you still want to delete. Or you can edit my Aroma script and add in those deletes. I did want the phone to be a "tiny-bit" usable after installing the ROM (play YouTube, open pdf files, etc). Enjoy!
Very Nice!
Hi Kevin, how could I install GameLauncher in this ROM?
I'm very interested in using that app when playing :crying::good::fingers-crossed:

Yes, it is an application that allows you to do several things while you are playing. The GameLauncher includes GameTools, but I can not install it in any way, because I think you need a file or something like that?

Yes, but will not there be some .zip?
I mean, everything is installed at once, because if I install nothing more than the GameLauncher apk, although without the Samsung store, "Galaxy Apps" I can not update nor will the app work correctly .
In itself, I can not use GameLauncher to have installed GameTools (although I would have done the one to install the apk, the GameLauncher app will not recognize me any game), and without the Samsung store, they will not work well.

when you are on the stock with the root then use root browser to save these two files from stock
SamsungAccount_Star, SamsungCloud, under n Priv-app folder, once you run the hybrid ROM using flashfire then go back and restore these two files back to Priv-app folder which will enabled your theme store so you can run your gaming app

If you are using a S7_SM-G930T & have the stock partitions for this model (ie, you didnt flash a different pit), then you dont need to do it. The guide as-is is solid for a stock S7_SM-G930T. Flashing the pit from another ROM of mine wont hurt if you flash on a S7_SM-G930T. I have only tested this ROM on a S7_SM-G930T.

Thank you @zfk110 for jumping in. This ROM really is aiming to be anti-Samsung - I LOVE the hardware but honestly hate all the Sh$t they put on it. And I need wifi-calling. And WE ALL LOVE ROOT. WHY cant we have it!!! ITS OUR PHONE WE BOUGHT DAMMIT! So that's what this ROM is all about. But trying to put it back to how SamDung intented, after my ROM reverts all their shannigans, might actually be easier to just roll with stock Sorry for being blunt.
But I do get it, some apps are actually good. Just PLEASE dont ask for Android pay or Samdung pay!! I do have all the apks, but no where to host them. If you have a little time & initiative, check out this thread I made on how to extract an apk from an "ODIN" file (like TMB-G930TUVU4CRI2.zip from this thread) https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...ide-how-to-extract-samsung-s7-ota-fw-t3862938 . And check out how to deploy this apk to system (not even sure they have to go to system tho) using ADB under Known Fixes for Messages here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/development/rom-t3855911 ...or do what @zfk110 said Titanium Backup does have a ton of power to do things like this as well...

Okay, I'll try the backup, but I'll try it with Titanium Backup. And by the way, is there a problem if the screen resolution is not in WQHD?
I have no way to restore the apps with Titanium Backup, I do not load the restorations:crying::crying:

it has those two files, and if you want to go back to stock Touchwiz then install the whole zip using flashfire it will give you stock Touchwiz and theme store with Viper and some good rooted apps or you can just pull those two files from it

Aroma Installer looks bonk if you dont set the resolution all the way up. Once you go through it tho, itll set back to stock which is in the middle. (ie, when guide is finished, resolution will be in the middle)
Just discovered this! I have a G930v and I've been flashing G930u firmware then G930t radio (CP file) and I've been running strong on tmobile (LTE+, wifi txt'ing & calling all work). Anyone have any experience how this ROM compares?
(LOL... you said SamDung. So true some days.)

I installed it with Flasfire, but it has not installed me, I do not know why?
So I installed it with TWRP Recovery, much more effective and comfortable , at this moment I'm going to see if it lets me use the Apps I need (Game Launcher). Thank you!!

Well I do not work the app (Game Launcher) in the Rom of Lanc-City, in the Aroma if it gives you option or has added it, that you can install GameLauncher .
I think something is missing, and I do not know what function.
