[Nexus Player Accessories] jfriend33:
Why on earth would you have a chromecast AND a Nexus player? That's like having a dvd player and another dvd player. You can cast to the nexus player.

Just get a Flirc for your nexus player, a micro usb otg cable, and program a IR universal remote for the fire tv stick (sounds funny but works, also set keyboard escape key as back or exit).

Your roku should have ir already depending on the model. Check Wikipedia search roku.

Then get a rca learning remote from Amazon.

Done deal.
[Nexus Player Accessories] aandrew7:
oh ya

I have a roku tv a nexus player and 3 chrome casts and a wdtv box and would also like to control all with one remote. Oh wait I can. My android smart phone.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urhaxable:
Is there any Bluetooth game controllers that will work with Android 5+ ?

I know the Bluetooth stack has been changed since 4.2 and now Wii controllers no longer work. I wanted to buy a controller, but don't want to buy something and it not work either.

The are a ton of Bluetooth Android controllers on Amazon, but none of them specify Android 5 compatibility.

I read that PS3 or PS4 controllers work with sixaxis app in play store, but looks like you need a computer running windows to connect the controller to first before pairing it with phone.

All I own is Wii controllers, so if I'm going to buy something it may as well work directly if possible.

Thanks
[LG G Watch R] Vendetta8247:
Hello everyone! I just got my G watch R and unpacked it. The first thing I wanted to try is to update the system. But it wouldn't let me do that. Keeps saying that there's an error without even trying. I have done some research on the network and I have found that this doesn't work with wi-fi turned on. I have turned it off but I have a really slow 2G connection with speed at about 10 KB/s. I will let it download for the night but it doesn't look like solving the issue. Besides that apps and watch faces that I install don't sync with my phone with wi-fi turned on or off. My phone is Xiaomi Mi3W and the firmware is MIUI 4.4 (developer rom)
[LG G Watch R] Speedin07si:
Wi-Fi is not enable in the watch. But should work find with Wi-Fi turned on the phone. The watch uses Bluetooth to connect to the phone.

Apparently there is Wi-Fi connection support in the next update. But we shall see.

But like I said as long as your watch is connected to your phone via Bluetooth , having Wi-Fi on/off shouldn't matter.
[LG G Watch R] Vendetta8247:
I have seen other topics about watch disconnecting. And the problem was Wi-Fi being turned on. And for me that worked. The Watch didn't update via Wi-Fi but it does update via 2G. But the apps still won't sync. Any ideas on that?
[LG G Watch R] Djblue82:
Have you tried to manually sync yet?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndpark:
I have the OnePlus One and cracked my screen and went to a local phone repair shop to get it replaced. Since then whenever I'm on speakerphone, people can't hear me (or I sound like I'm whispering). And when I put it back on regular call-mode the mic works fine. Is there a way to reroute the mic? I feel the other mics may be damaged. I already tried going into some of the rooted settings and increasing volumes by changing the system files, and to no avail. Does anyone know of a method like that? Or am I doomed to buy an earpiece?

Thanks

Do you hate Google Play Services and would rather not install it?

It's a well known fact that Google Play Services is a battery-eating monster, which cannot be tamed in any easy way.

Many prefer to simply get rid of it and forget about it, just like me!

This module is in no way a replacement for Google Play Services!

Some apps show annoying dialogs saying you need to install it, but in reality the app doesn't always require it (Snapchat is a good example).

This module disables the error dialog and notification APIs from Google and replaces them with nothing.

You can find the compatible apps list HERE.

Enjoy Google Play Services-free experience!

Compatible with all Android versions from 2.3 'Gingerbread' to 5.0 'Lollipop'.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Zaiaku:
Already loving the idea about this. Have a list of which apps besides Snapchat? Would be nice if Google apps can get bypass this like voice.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
Sadly, no. I made this just with Snapchat in mind :p

But keeping a list of supported apps is a good idea, I'll try to find as many as I can.
[Xposed Framework Modules] vip57:
cool

this is an amazing idea bcz google play service drain my battery

what do you advice me uninstalling it or freezing it ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
I personally uninstalled it and removed all traces of it from my phone.

Because YouTube app doesn't want to work, I installed Viral instead.
[Xposed Framework Modules] FuTChY:
What if I installed Google play services, and I wanted to use Location or GPS, would that handle it ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
This module isn't a replacement for Google Play Services (yet?).

However my phone's (XSP) GPS and aGPS works flawlessly without it somehow.

I was thinking of making this module simulate some functions in the API, but those are future plans.
[Xposed Framework Modules] robert1337:
nice idea! but it does not work with gmail? i still get the error message. i wish it could work with gmail and play store.

welp, restored my rom backup for now. still looking forward for future updates :p

this could be module of the year 2015 if this module can replace play services :D

How can I removed play service?

[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
Maps work even without this module without Google Play Services ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
First, you remove all updates from Google Play Services.

Then, you can use an app like THIS ONE to remove the system app.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Guizão BR:
Inbox doesn't work :crying:
[Xposed Framework Modules] zach_95:
Really nice idea :D however I can't live without gmail though :(

Viber is working when I deleted play services though :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
I'm sure there are better alternatives for a Google Mail client than Gmail ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] zach_95:
Never thought that heh. I'll test out more apps :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
Yeah! In example, Viral is a cool alternative for the laggy YouTube app ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] zach_95:
Cool! Maybe you can edit in op and write alternative apps too :D that way people wouldn't be too hesitant.
[Xposed Framework Modules] FuTChY:
Thanks Bro,

Good luck, i'm gonna try it anyways, and I hope you could completely replace google services :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] bh77a:
LOVE the idea behind this module! Thanks a ton for it, as like you I loathe Google Play Services.

Installed it, activated it and rebooted my Nexus 7 v1 and immediately tested JotterPad X. The message of not being able to run without Google Play Services still displayed, though.

Is there a chance you could do anything about that?

BTW, for those looking for a good GMail replacement, you should check out K-@ Mail. It's not free, but it is so good!
[Xposed Framework Modules] tariq2kn:
Good idea. Better to list the apps dependent on Google Play Services.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
Which app still shows the message?

Feel free to send in the entries though PM or post them here ;)

JotterPad Writer still shows the message, unfortunately.

Here's the Play Store listing:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jotterpad.x
[Xposed Framework Modules] zach_95:
Alternative for gmail, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudmagic.mail&hl=en

Even better in my experience. Notifications come in way faster.
[Xposed Framework Modules] intika:
Thanks for that nice module :)

is it possible to see the sources ? any github for it ?

thanks a lot
[Xposed Framework Modules] progrockguy:
This successfully removed the Play Services error, but I cannot do anything once snapchat loads...

Pressing "Login" or "Sign Up" does absolutely nothing. I've tried SC 9.2, 9.3.1.0 and the beta to no avail.

I have allowed all permissions on Xprivacy except for my device/android ID, serial, and contacts. What's going on???

//My contribution to fellow Google-less users: for super-easy contacts and calendar syncing, I simply use Outlook.com with the native AOSP email app. Add it as an Exchange account and everything just works! "Tasks and Notes" also works well with the Outlook account.

//UPDATE: I used a spare phone with GAPPS to install Snapchat. It turns out SC needs a Google account and notification token. After logging in I ran TiBackup and restored it on my non-gapps phone. Now I'm back in business!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
Damn, I never noticed that (I uninstalled Google Play services after logging in to SnapChat).

Thanks for reporting!

After deliting Google play services app, from my phone, Google play store stop working. What i need to do to save Google store?
[Xposed Framework Modules] ElwOOd_CbGp:
You'll need the google spyware apps to be installed if you want to use the Play Store. After many sleepless nights I have found a combination of disabled services, receivers, and permissions on certain system folders that tames that ridiculous beast. I screwed up my contacts sync, but as [MENTION=6296766]mattjaeger[/MENTION] said, outlook does that job well via stock AOSP email app which I use for all my accts. I'm afraid to try to fix the sync because I don't get any "google has stopped" except when I open YouTube, but it still works, google+ (which I just started messing with) works and no photos crap either. The TBO clear google calendar works, I only have it cause its cool. Also ChatSecure for FB and google xmpp messages. I don't use any maps except thru browser and anything google that has to do with location is disabled. I've looked a little bit at the network location app u can get on F-Droid, but haven't really cared to set it all up. This is a very interesting project that I will be following because I don't like to mess with any google stuff except the things I just mentioned. (and barely that) I don't like their ways and I don't agree with these fan boys I've been seeing lately that are all mad at CM for all the mess they've been talking. I doubt I'll ever have google apps working like this again because I've looked at more recent versions than the one I currently have installed and they've added more b.s. to lock it down.

- OP, this is a fantastic idea and thank you for your work on this situation. It will no doubt become an invaluable contribution to those of us who hate the google spyware services suite

(I don't have play services greenified either.)
[Xposed Framework Modules] nmeuret:
I installed this module and remove Google Play Services successfuly.

I can now launch GMaps but my position cannot be found. Is that normal ? Any workaround ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] ujilraj:
I think it's better to freeze the Google play services rather than removing it completely... Tht way, once u need it absolutely necessary, u just need to unfreeze it...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Simona Simmy:
bcos u removed google services u wont get any positions .. think logically who provides u your location :rolleyes:
[Xposed Framework Modules] nmeuret:
Sorry, I thought it was my GPS chip. :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] Simona Simmy:
Obviously if GPS is off then google handles your detection over network and servers..

If GPS on it enables receiver which detects satellites
[Xposed Framework Modules] VeEuzUKY:
This is brilliant, thanks much.

In fact I use it to bypass forcefully getting the NagScreens that I need update Google play services when certain apps get updated. I'm running cm11 and positively, as far as I know, the only reason I need Google play services is to sync my calendar and contacts because to my best knowledge it doesn't sync without it. Hmmmmmmm I guess Maps and the Google play store app also needs Google play services.. I use those. Wish I could uninstall it. I tried greenify it but get all sorts of FCs and errors everytime my phone starts, drives me crazy. So I gave up on that solution. Google Play services is positively the worse, most useless and heaviest app I have on my phone. A total joke.. Google is going the wrong way with Android in too many fronts.

Thanks again for this great module!
[Xposed Framework Modules] hansonchen:
Use titanium backup to freeze Google playstore, Google account manager, Google play services, Google Mail, Google maps and I've never got any nags again.

I've replaced mail with aquamail, maps I'm using Nokia Here & Waze and for apps updates, we've got so addicted to let playstore to auto update each & every minor bug fixes. It's just a 'feeling' to have the most updated apps but is it necessary?

I'm playing coc happily without any lags & lmk killing my background running radio & torrent. Just a word of caution, once you've freezed Google account manager, your contacts will no longer exist in your contact list (use Super Backup to restore) & every time you unfreeze, you need to setup your gmail account again[.

Ps. Oh I've forgot to mention about YouTube, I'm using Viral as replacement & Videoder to download them. Some embedded YouTube in news app like Flipboard can't play. No biggie for me
[Xposed Framework Modules] VeEuzUKY:
Thanks for the info:)

Well, I can live without all of that as most is replaceable with other non-Google apps, some of which are in fact much better. But the deal breaker is loosing my contacts list and calendar sync. I have multiple devices and a solid sync workflow for personal and business on all of them that dates back several years. I've researched an alternative contacts /calendar app that can be synced between multiple devices and PC but I am yet to find one that actually works. I can't be without a synced contact /calendar database that works as well as the Google work flow does now. This is my problem. Otherwise I'd ditch Google play services immediately all together. Gmail, the play store, maps, Google+, YouTube and all the other crap, are all easily replaceable or totally ditchable.

But no contacts/calendar sync, I can't live without nor can I bother with multiple backups and Titaniums freeze and unfreeze several times a day as needed to make it work. The day I find an contact/calendar app that syncs between devices and PC as well as the Google infrastructure does, I'll switch immediately and delete each and every Google app on all my devices. Till then I'm stuck.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Alanon:
Just started de-googling my phone from all those services, I'm a happy camper! I use DavDroid to sync my contacts and calendar, 1Mobile Market and a few others instead of Play, Boxer Pro instead of gmail.

I can confirm that Flynx, the new chat-head web browser works without the Services, but still displays the pop-up message.

DigiCal, my calendar app, works without the services, but displays the pop-up and won't open if you click on the shortcut because of the error. Strangely, you can get inside the app only through the widget (clicking on the day, etc), and then it has full functionality, displaying the calendar and allowing for editing.

I don't know whether your app could be used to bypass this little annoyance? Could you see if you can maybe tweak the settings for displaying the error message in these apps? As far as I am aware, no other app I have is complaining for the loss of the services.

Great work, hope you will continue to develop this little gem!
[Xposed Framework Modules] VeEuzUKY:
Interesting reply and thanks for the feedback. Could you tell me how DavDroid works and which apps it integrates with for sync of contacts and calendar? The sync is the really main issue I have and I'd love to get Google Play Services all together out of my phone of I can find a way to sync contacts and calendar.

In fact I'd love to have other apps as contacts and calendar because I live in China where ALL Google services are blocked and I need VPN for everything INCLUDING performing a simple sync manually that can fail days and days in a row, as all VPN services here are hunt down and shot dead.. life here is a nightmare. So, if there is an alternative way/app to get contacts and calendar sync, that would be great.

Thanks in advance if you can give some extra info on the usage of DavDroid. I totally want to get all Google stuff out of my system..
[Xposed Framework Modules] Alanon:
Basically, DAVDroid can sync with any WebDav service that supports CalDAV and CardDAV, but it's tested with a dozen or so of them (they list them in the Store). Personally, I made an account at owndrive, it's free and you get 1GB of storage, which is more than enough for this purpose. You also get a fairly nice view of both the contacts and calendars on the webpage.

Once you've chosen your service and registered, install the DAVDroid apk and make a new account entering the data of your preferred WebDAV server (link, username, password, etc), picking a display name at the end of the process (for instance, I used Alanon). It will show up as a legitimate entry both in the contacts and in the calendar.

In the contacts you will get a new entry listed (before, I had something like Phone, SIM, "username@gmail.com", Skype... and now I had all those, plus Alanon). You just select all your contacts from "username@gmail.com" and copy them over to "Alanon". You do the same with "Google Calendar", or whichever title you are using, and export its contents to the "Personal Calendar" or whatever the newly created one is named. You can also combine several calendars - like the regular calendar and Google's Holiday Calendar into your new syncable one. Note that not all Calendars can be easily imported - if you don't have the setting to export from one calendar into another, use Business Calendar 2, it has that option, it's free, and it's a pretty good calendar in and of itself.

Once the copying is done, the result will be that the new calendar and contact entries are synced to the WebDAV and you can safely delete all Google crap. Later, if you have a desktop app or another piece of software that supports CalDAV or CardDAV, you can simply point them to your selected server - and voila, you have interconnectivity and codependency completely bypassing google's services altogether!

Hope I helped!
[Xposed Framework Modules] VeEuzUKY:
Thanks a lot! This sounds daunting but I'll try do it step by step and follow your tips.

I'll check into OwnDrive and also need look for some sort of a PC compatible app I can use together and sync it as well. I know there are a few like EssentialPIM or EfficientPIM.. will look.

Thanks again. Let's see if I can get it all to work together:)

Unsynced contacts are deleted while freezing google play services.

Guys I am facing a strange issue which i had never experienced til lollipop.

Whenever i freeze google play services, my contacts are deleted. the strange fact is that all those contacts are device ony contacts.they aren't synced with google account. is there a fix??
[Xposed Framework Modules] kaizokan:
Thanks for this module : ) To bad it doesn't work for youtube.

I second that. Would be nice to see root apps open source.
