[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I've spent some time on ICS in whittling down what Gapps I really needed, and was able to save a lot of space. Since I use my own Darwin (Mac) CalendarServer I don't have any need for Google's contacts and calendar syncing. I also don't use "voice" features. Basically, I use Play and Maps, or have apps that require some level of Google services to run.

Getting ready to move to KitKat on a couple phones, I wanted to do the same for 4.4.2. Good news is that [MENTION=2915683]BaNkS[/MENTION] is well ahead of me in slicing and dicing Gapps.

(also check to see if [MENTION=4576707]Ryuinferno[/MENTION] has updated his Gapps thread)

BaNkS' selection of "Core" is around 26 MB extracted, which seems a lot better than the full-on collection occupies. Of course, you don't get all the Google secret sauce (or is it Kool-Aid?), but it might fit your needs a little better. (Contents behind the button)

He's also got fuller packages as well as various incremental ones as well.

You can probably thin this further. Based on what I use and some guesses, I know I'll be trying to get rid of at least:

system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk

system/priv-app/GoogleBackupTransport.apk

system/priv-app/GoogleFeedback.apk

system/priv-app/GoogleOneTimeInitializer.apk

system/priv-app/GooglePartnerSetup.apk

system/priv-app/SetupWizard.apk

system/lib/libAppDataSearch.so

system/lib/libgames_rtmp_jni.so

as well as generating my own "preferred apps" for system/etc/preferred-apps/google.xml (method described in that file)
