PA GAPPS REMOVER UPDATE

GApps Remover: Beta 4 (20140513)

This is, hopefully, the final beta of this new tool. Long term, it's my goal to integrate its functionality into the GApps installer, however for now it will remain a stand alone utility. The tool is designed to remove unwanted GApps/apps from your device and/or GApps package. While it can be flashed AFTER you've installed a GApps package, the preferred method would be to install immediately after flashing your GApps package. Flashing immediately after you install your GApps package means the application never really gets installed on your device.

GApps Remover is extremely small (currently less than 7KB) and will remove the application(s) and modify the addon.d backup script to prevent the app from being backed up in the future. The apk and ALL supporting libraries are completely removed from your System Partition, insuring a "Clean Uninstall". Also, for the supported Stock/AOSP applications, the backup script will automatically prevent the application from being re-installed when performing a ROM update. This will automatically happen during the GApps restore process. GApps Remover, however, will not remove the app if it is installed in your Data partition - so if you've updated an app from the Play Store you may also have to remove the update using standard Android methods.

[HIGHLIGHT]Please Note[/HIGHLIGHT]: "Protection from Stupidity" is NOT built into the tool. This means you have the ability to do something stupid like remove Hangouts (and leave yourself with no method to retrieve SMS messages) or remove Google Now Launcher, and leave yourself with NO launcher (i.e. no way to use your device). Please be certain and THINK THROUGH your removals to insure you don't do something stupid.

Because Google is constantly changing and updating their applications, you must use the version of GApps Remover that corresponds to the GApps package you have installed (or plan to install) on your device. This BETA will only work with the current versions of PA GApps (20140513), but will not work with past or future versions of PA GApps.

To use GApps Remover, place a file in /sdcard/ called '.gapps-remove '. Inside the file, type the name of the application you want to remove from your device
