[Q] CM7 Google apps, whats optional?

I'm just wondering what each app in CM7's GAPPS.zip is optional.
here are the apps in GAPPS.zip and what I think they do. Can anyone tell me if there are any dependancies between them?
FOTAKill.apk ---What is this?
GenieWidget.apk --- I think this is the weather widget?
GoogleBackupTransport --- APK to send my installed programs list, contacts, and calander to google.
GoogleCalanderSyncAdapter.apk --- Needed to sync to google calander
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk --- Needed to sync google contacts
GoogleFeedback.apk --- Send your info to big brother
Googlepartnersetup.apk --- What is this?
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk --- That seach box widget
GoogleServicesFramework.apk --- What is this?
LatinInmeturtorial.apk --- what is this?
MarketUpdator.apk --- What is this?
MediaUploader.apk --- What is this?
NetworkLocation.apk --- I'm guessing sends your location to google?
OneTimeInitializer.apk --- What is this?
SetupWizard.apk --- The setup wizard. Is this NEEDED by anything else?
Talk.apk --- Talk to google search?
Vending.apk --- what is this?
Basically I want to know what a bunch of these are. And if I REALLY need them. All I really want is google to backup my my calander and contacts. But I don't know what any of that other stuff is or if I can just delete the APKs. But I don't know if there are any dependancies.

[Q] Removing Apps from Gapps?

I tried googling this but googling anything "gapps" turns into an "apps" nightmare search. hahah
Anyways, does anyone know how to edit a Google Gapps file to remove some of the apps?
Everytime I flash a new CM based ROM, I have to reflash Gapps. Which means I have to go back into Titanium Manager and re-remove the google apps that I won't be using. It gets tiring having to do this all the time.
It would be a lot easier if I could just flash the Gapps that I need.
Hmm, maybe I should just skip flashing gapps and install only the apks I need? Well, some ROM's (like Slim) require a modified google apps. So I'd rather just remove what I don't like.

Well you can open the zip file and remove the apk's from the /system/ folder.

As enzyme said, all you have to do is open up the zip, delete what you don't want from /system/app, then zip it right back up and you have your own "custom" flashable gapps zip. Just have to remember to do that same patch each time a new gapps update is released. I personally remove GMail, calandar, contacts, and talk from my old phone that I let the kid use for games, so they don't screw it up.
And, FWIW, here's how those system apk filenames map to application names, so you know what's safe to delete:
Code:
$ for app in mnt/system/app/*apk; do printf "%30s : %s\n" "$(basename $app)" "$(aapt dump badging "$app"|grep label-en|cut -d: -f2)"; done
ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk : 'Google Bookmarks Sync'

Thanks guys, that's really helpful!
The one post I found on Google made it seem like it was impossible to add apk's to gapps. But it didn't talk about removing apk's.

So am I to understand, just remove the line item completely?

Well, it's not working for me just yet (on justinbeam inverted GAPPS). But I might have screwed something up. I used TWRP to flash the new gapps that I had removed some APK's from and re-zipped. It just said "FAILED to install".
I'll try a couple more times.

Arghh, not working for me.
I can installed the unedited Justinbeam inverted gapps but not the one that I removed the email/talk apk's from. That one fails.
I'll probably try again sometime with the normal CM GAPPS and CWM.

Ya me too. I tried adding an apk and it fails. I was hoping to cut out a step I do when updating my ROM.

Why not use the aroma JusTunBean gapps? Let's you select which apps to install during flash. Also has options for inverted or standard.

I've flashed several ROM's and get flakey results with JusTunBean too often, to really consider it to be reliable. I only use the standard 4.1 Gapps now.
The method I've ended up going with is to flash gapps.
Then I go into Titanium Backup and freeze all the Gapps apps (and other ROM related apps) that I don't use.
Then everytime I flash an updated ROM and flash Gapps again, Titanium remembers to freeze those apps. So I only have to do it that first time only.

RECordings show up under /sdcard/sounds
Flashing guide:
wipe all / factory reset device
disable your antivirus for Odin
Enter Download mode after factory reset of device
In ODIN, only use the PDA section do not touch any other section or make any ticks or clicks on Odin Program
I use Odin 1.85
auto reboot is checked
F. Reset Time is checked that is it...
Special announcement
In Odin...
DO NOT tick Re-Partition, flash lock, phone EFS, Clear Phone or Bootloader Update.
##########################
####YOU Have Been WARNED####
##########################
Do not check or tick those.... if you want to find out what those options do its on you I suggest reading up on it if you are new to Odin in any way =]
Only add to PDA section this file... SUPERUSER_M919.tar.md5 = found on second post.
and flash
flash with Odin (tested=perfection) or Heimdall (untested but surely it will work) Mobile Odin should do fine as well.. like the file indicates it is checked for its MD5SUM and verified before it is allowed to flash via Odin. Heimdall is on you I bet it works just as well, however I am comfortable with Odin so I use Odin on Windows XP and 7.
wait untill device enters TWRP 2.5.0.2 and wipes cache for you and reboots automatically
sign in, let apps populate, if you want...
reboot
done
I reboot twice, but have no evildence that it is necessary.

cool cool I tested it. all is well.. and actually I discovered that you need the stock recovery to recover from a bad flash. twrp wont seem to wipe the device when things are awry.
so next version will be with stock recovery.. I know sounds boring but this thread is too exciting as is gotta tame this .tar

You have to flash the ROM in a custom recovery. ODIN does not flash .zip roms, only MD5 roms.

LoL yes this is for Odin. . it is a .tar. the md5 indicates that it is has a md5 file sum check that is not a necessary addition to a tar file but it makes it safer because =] it checks the ms5 sum before its flashed if the sum doesnt match up then it aborts the flash for your devices' safety
mobile Odin, I dont see why not... although i havent tested it but as stated above its checked for accuracy before a flash so you should be safe. I have never used odin mobile though so flash if you will and report back.

With your google account, i think.
@Aonja : can you remove the "GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk" in your aroma, please.
I got the same sync problem but fortunately, i restore the file copy with Titanium pro.

thanks for the report.... I have also taken steps to eliminate by the script some apk that may be necessary which must not be deleted for the normal operation of the device (eg. sync contacts google).

So here i will list all of the Apps that i uninstalled completely from my phone, while i am still having stability and no bugs on my stock Marshmallow.
Just to make things clear, I will not be held responsible for you bricking your phone, you choosed yourself to mess around with it.

SPrintSpooler

Simplesharing
SmartCardService
You can disable following apps, if you use custom launcher, custom internet browser, keybooard, file explorer
SBrowser
TouchWizHome
SansungIme
SecMyFiles
And you can also uninstall SmartManager, a lot of people consider this to be bloat
I recommend you to use "System app remover (ROOT) which immediately creates a backup of the app that you have uninstalled, just in case you want to get it back later. It is free, unlike TitaniumBackup that you have to pay for to be able to make backups.
I will be adding few more apps that can be uninstalled safely in next hour/two
