I have TWRP..How to proceed with the same
Also need to get rid of exchange services.
In TWRP mount system and delete folders of apps that you want to remove in /system/app and /systen/priv-app.

Tell me the .apk name in /system/app and I can add (case sensitive)
I didn't added it first because I thought that would be better to have at least one calendar app, but "hey, anyone can download his favorite calendar app on google play later", but the ROM I'm currently using don't have google calendar, so... I need the .apk name XD

I think that may be some conflict with another messaging app, I only tested this on stock rom without any other messaging app installed, you can try install the .apk inside the .zip as a normal app
Updated
Now it also removes the files if they are on system/priv-app instead of system/app
also added google calendar (CalendarGooglePrebuilt.apk) and messenger (PrebuiltBugle.apk)

[GAPPS] Debloating Scripts for AOSP ROMs

AOSP Marshmallow & Nougat Deloating Flashables
Description
Debloating Scripts for AOSP Marshmallow & Nougat.
Disclaimer
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device. By downloading and flashing or installing these zips, you automatically agree that I won't be held liable for anything that happens to your phone.
Background
I've created some flashable scripts to remove unwanted applications ('debloat') from AOSP-based Marshmallow and Nougat Nexus 5 ROMS.
These scripts, when installed, should minimize redundant versions of similar applications that arise when installing Google Applications (GApps) on custom AOSP ROMS.
THERE IS NO NEED TO RUN THESE SCRIPTS ON FACTORY ROMS! Factory ROMs from Google come pre-installed with GApps
THE REMOVAL PROCESS IS PERMANENT! When you run these scripts, the listed applications and their folders are deleted. If you inadvertently delete an app that you actually wanted to keep, you'll have to manually reinstall it from your custom ROM image, or reinstall the ROM.
Installation
PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM!
BEFORE attempting to run these scripts, download, install, and configure the replacement applications FIRST, then run the scripts.
An Example: if you remove the AOSP Keyboard (LatinIME) before installing the Google Keyboard, you won't be able to search for items in the Play Store, as you'll have no way of inputting text.
Your GApps provider may have specific instructions on installing certain applications. Please thoroughly read the documentation and notes your GApps "flavor" provides.
These debloating scripts are provided in a "flashable" ZIP archive. Copy the file to the storage/sdcard area of your phone, reboot to recovery (TWRP), "Install" the script, then reboot.
GOOD LUCK!

Removes everything listed under "Maximum" below, PLUS AOSP Launcher3. From a request by @sidlogsin.
Marshmallow & Nougat Maximum Debloater - DOWNLOAD - Removes AOSP apps with PlayStore-downloadable alternatives from Google:
----
NOTE 1: On the Nexus 5, running Nougat:
Google Camera is not available from the PlayStore in some countries using this Play Store Link.
Google Camera - creates/throws green video alternating frames; photos are fine.
AOSP Camera and Footej - take good photos, but have no HDR+ support; some users report jitters on the left side of the screen in recorded videos.
OpenCamera - takes good photos, supports HDR+; some users report jitters on the left side of the screen in recorded videos.
At this time OpenCamera is highly recommended.
NOTE 2: For Nougat, per DeltaDroid in this POST, the following PlayStore GApps (AND ONLY THESE GAPPS FROM THE LIST BELOW) can still be flashed to /system:
Calculator
Calendar
Calendar Sync Adapter
Clock
Cloud Print
Gmail
Keep

Minimal GApps install on Marshmallow 6.0.0/6.0.1 on "unpatched" AOSP ROMs
I've had this tucked-away for a while on an odd thread. I'll post it here for now.
I'm a big fan of DeltaDroid's GApps. His work is highly modular; his focus is on a small, basic package with the ability to flash individual added components. Truly a fantastic thread and a great GApps developer.
NOTE: This same procedure will probably work for 7.0 Nougat; you'll have to download the Nougat package, of course!
I'll give an overview of my install procedure for Untouched AOSP on my Nexus 5, then I'll follow with the DeltaGApps install procedure.
General ROM & GApps Install Procedure:
--------
- Flashed MOB31E factory ROM via PC
- Installed TWRP via adb
- Created empty text files as per directions HERE
- Copied ROM, empty text files, and install items to phone from PC
- Booted to recovery (TWRP), rebooted from within TWRP to recovery (TWRP)
- Wiped everything but internal storage
- Installed ZIPs: ROM, TimeService, bootanimation
- Rebooted to system (Android)
- Setup APN and WiFi
- Rebooted to recovery (TWRP)
- Flashed Delta GApps MM base package using this PROCEDURE
- Rebooted to system (Android)
- Fixed Google Contacts Sunc, Google Play Services, and PlayStore permisions using this PROCEDURE
- Added google accout via Settings -> Accounts
- Rebooted to system (Android)
For a Minimal GApps install on Marshmallow 6.0.0/6.0.1 on "unpatched" AOSP ROMs:
--------
1. Download Deltadroid's Marshmallow Base Gapps package for 6.0.0 or 6.0.1 (From THIS GApps thread):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58047099&postcount=1 (Post #1)
(There are packages for 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 - all the way down, towards the bottom, "Marshmallow Base Gapps Package:").
2. Create and install these empty text files (0-byte) on the "root" of your Internal Storage (Ex: "/sdcard/" or "/storage/emulated/0"):
(NOTE: The end of this post has a mini walk-thru for creating these empty text files using Notepad on a PC and TurboEditor on Android)
/sdcard/.removefacelock
(prevents Google Facelock from being installed and removes existing installation of Facelock)
/sdcard/.removesetupwizard
(keeps the "stock provision" Setup Wizard and does not replace it with Google's Setup Wizard)
3. Install GApps via TWRP
4. Boot to System (Yes, you'll probably get Play Services "FC" messages until you perform #5 below)
5. Immediately toggle application permissions to "ON" under:
Settings -> Apps -> ... -> System show
For:
- Google Contacts Sync
- Google Play Services
- Google Play Store
- Contacts (I had to add permission for SMS on AOSP MOB31E)
6. Reboot the phone
7. Add your Google Account via "Settings -> Accounts -> Add account -> Google"
8. Verify that Contacts are synced and Play Services is functional.
9. Enjoy!
Walk-through for creating empy "zero-byte" text files:
--------
On Windows, use Notepad or the text editor of your choice:
1. Select "New file".
2. Without typing any text, press "Save as".
3. Under "Name", type ".removefacelock" (without the quotes, with the preceding period, and without the .txt extension)
4. Press OK.
5. repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Under "Name", type ".removesetupwizard" (without the quotes, with the preceding period, and without the .txt extension)
7. Press OK.
8. Copy both files from Windows to "/storage/emulated/0" or "/sdcard" on Android.
On Android, using Turbo Editor for illustrative purposes (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maskyn.fileeditor&hl=en or https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.maskyn.fileeditorpro):
1. Download and install a text editor on Android.
2. Open the text editor.
3. Select "New file".
4. Without typing any text, press the three dots in the upper right corner.
5. Press "Save as".
6. Under "Name", type ".removefacelock" (without the quotes, with the preceding period, and without the .txt extension)
7. Verify that the destination folder is "/storage/emulated/0", or "/sdcard", or whatever your storage area is named.
8. Press OK.
9. Press the back arrow until you get to the menu.
10. repeat steps 3-5.
11. Under "Name", type ".removesetupwizard" (without the quotes, with the preceding period, and without the .txt extension)
12. Repeat steps 7 and 8.
Done.
User-Submitted Tips 'n Cheats
Google Phone (Dialer app) - submitted by @occtec:
----
Here's a tested & working fix for crashing, blank-screening in-call and permission issues for Google Dialer, downloaded from the PlayStore.
(1) Download app from Play Store
(2) Grant all permissions to the app (Settings->Apps->Phone-> Permissions-> check all)
(3) Uninstall default dialer system app (disable, freeze using titanium or use a debloater)
(4) Reboot
(5) Move downloaded Google Phone to /system (you can use 'system app mover' from play store. Make
sure to download and install busybox prior to using this app, if you havent got it already)
(6) Reboot
(7) Open Settings->Apps->Phone->Phone app-> Phone app again-> Select Phone as default.
DONE.

This thread was definitely necessary - one post in another thread wasn't enough to get proper oversight in your work. Thanks for this! Your scripts work great for me, as well as the DeltaDroid Base GApps.
Sent from my XT1562 using Tapatalk
Thanks for coming up with this idea.
It would be really great if you can make a script that can delete aosp launcher as well. As in under the name "Extreme"
Just saying. @androcraze **Cheers**

I'd rather include removing the launcher in the "Maximum" version. Do most folks who install the GApps also install the Google launcher?

I think giving users an option to keep aosp launcher would be better. Otherwise maximum will have to come with a Big Warning on launcher installation imo.
Really appreciate your prompt reply.

I don't like "Extreme"....
"Maximum", "Medium", "Minimum", "M.......m".
"Mayhem".
Is there anything else that can be scrubbed (to be replaced by something else)?
Mayhem is cool.
'Magnum' ,If it is ok.

In firearms nomenclature, "Maximum" is greater than "Magnum"; the .357 Maximum is larger and packs more punch than the .357 Magnum.
I'll stick with Mayhem, and I'll need a walkthrough on installing the Google Launcher.

I am afraid to speak beyond my capabilities. But I usually flash in this order :
Rom > Debloater script > Pixel Launcher / Google Launcher package > GApps Package (Delta Droid or Open Gapps , both of them works Ok.)
I face no issues following these steps. I've tried these with Santhosh build as well as other nougat roms.
Can't say about marshmallow roms.
This is so cool, thank you so much!
Used it to remove AOSP Bloatware, from the Nougat AOSP Rom for Nexus 5, and then I had room to install G apps mini over micro. Yay!
Changes for 20161015 (All scripts):
Mayhem, Maximum, Medium, Minimum:
- Removed "BasicDreams" from the debloating scripts. It's not wallpaper bloat, and it removes functionality without offering a suitable replacement.
Medium:
- Added removal of AOSP Keyboard (LatinIME) and added suggested link to AnySoftKeyboard. LatinIME has features that are broken (swipe, for one), and AnySoft Keyboard is feature-rich in every way.
@androcraze is there a way for me to edit the Maximum debloater so that it will not remove the keyboard. Or can you tell me how do I install the google keyboard as a system app. thanks

4.5.5.2 with working Play Store...

I have OS 4.5.5.2 with Play Store working well, it does crash occasionally, but it loads and you can download apps from it.
Here's what I did (from memory). I do not have my tablet with me currently to check versions of the Google Play APKs but I believe what I wrote below is correct, I will update later if not. These are pseudo-instructions. You need to be familiar with how to do a variety of tasks of Android (flashing, adb, etc).
A) Follow steps to unlock bootloader and flash stock repacked ROM from that same thread... https://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/thor-unlocking-bootloader-firmware-t3463982
B) Flash SuperUser
C) Downloaded the following Google Play APKS:
Google Account Manager: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...google-account-manager-4-4-4-1227136-release/
Google Services Framework: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...gle-services-framework-4-4-4-1227136-release/
Google Play Services: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-10-0-84-030-137749526-android-apk-download/
Google Play Store: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ay-store-7-3-26-k-all-0-pr-144039714-release/
D) Download APKPure https://apkpure.com/apkpure/com.apkpure.aegon
E) Download a new keyboard from APKPure (I used Google GBoard I think)
D) Psuedo commands:
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
rm com.swype.* (these are large files for the keyboard and need to be removed to install Google apps)
E) Push Google Account Manager and Google Services Framework to /system/app (adb push xxx /system/app)
F) adb install Google Play Services & Google Play Store
G) Download the following:
gapps-kk-20150412-minimal-edition-signed.zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554406
Xposed Framework SolarWarez: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64063168&postcount=62
HDXPosed 1.3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618158
H) Reboot to TWRP and flash gapps-kk-20150412-minimal-edition-signed.zip
I) Install Xposed Framework from SolarWarez
J) Install and activate HDXPosed 1.3
Again, this is from memory as I don't have my tablet with me, but this has Google Play working well (along with Google Play Games) on Fire OS 4.5.5.2. The only issue I've found has to do with Underground apps not showing in the Play Store. I think there must be a way to fix that (it might have something to do with the HDXPosed changes). I will investigate that later...
Stable? What has the stability been like since installing, as you seem to be the only person who has managed it, albeit I am only searching the net . . .

You mean the amazon app store? Yes this is just a timing thing... I just got some refurb hdx from woot and noticed that the underground wasn't working on these stores but was on my HDX... so i turned off and on and a day later the approval banner for underground showed and I hit ok and now it shows
Tried it. Play store just keeps crashing.. Couldn't even login. Xposure said it wouldn't install due to lack of space even after deleting Swype.
Does video casting to Chromecast work?
