Something even MORE barebone than stock.
Like even stock has what I consider to be "bloatware"
IE: Currents, Google+, Google Hangout, etc.
What I want is something devoid of all that, and lets me tweak around with basic UI settings. I don't need those fancy pie launchers and halo whatevers.
Build it and it will exist.
I assume you are running a maguro?

Currents, Google+, hangouts doesn't come with stock 4.3 unless you already had them installed you have to download those from play store to get them, not getting what u mean by bloatware, Google made all their apps available in play store now instead of making them system apps so you can simply add them or remove them like any other app without needing root an titanium.

I installed this guy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882248
It says "stock", but I got the whole slew of google apps.
I flashed 4.3 Google image direct from Google developer site not someone else's custom 4.3 rom, why not just uninstall the Google apps you don't want then with titanium backup instead of a whole new rom, doesn't get more simpler than that.

Yes , easy to do with a toolkit, those Google apps your talking about with the rom you tried are because you flashed the gapps zip which install all that Google stuff, that's all gapps is for to install all the popular Google play store apps which are not necessarily needed.
So just to clarify, you want a stock 4.3 deodexed rooted ROM without Google apps (and you can flash Banks' minimal gapps for the absolutely necessary stuff like Play Store)? Then even if you don't know how to write code, you just need to sync the source and build. Deodex guides abound. Very little skill required. I know, since I build unofficial codefireXs with no skill whatsoever.
You can make the build system build deodexed, no need to deodex later.

If you really want stock (and less) try Slimbean. When you dont flash the google apps you will also lose the ability to get notifications automatically pushed. Eventhough it's still in alpha, the battery is excellent.

Here is a 4.3 ROM built from AOSP source designed to emulate what a Verizon 4.3 ROM would be like. The changes from AOSP include the addition of GAPPS, addition of Verizon apps, appropriate binaries so everything works, addition of busybox, correct eri.xml, home screen layout to mimic a stock ROM, and the removal of the tethering restriction. The ROM is not pre-rooted, so flash Chainfire's SuperSU if you want root.
As usual, flash at your own risk and post any successes or problems.

Thanks to mmuzzy for help building from aosp (fixing t-cdma64 in eri.xml and cell broadcasts menu, plus other stuff I'm probably forgetting), adrynalyne, and djp952 for help building from AOSP.

Here is a stock, rooted, busybox, etc. ROM built from the 4.1.1 AOSP source for Verizon. It has GAPPS included from the GSM developer preview and the Verizon apps as well (MyVerizon and the backup one). My attempt was to make a stock rooted ROM for Verizon based off of the 4.1.1 source on AOSP. Some things are still added to this rom from 4.0.4 IMM76K Verizon ROM, but I did include the new binaries for toro. I haven't fully tested everything, but camera, google now, gps, and wifi all work as expected. I'll try to get some add-on's / mods before too long and have them posted as flashable .zips.

No sure what causes this, but I've never seen it with this build or the previous developer preview build. Did it happen on first boot before you installed anything else?

I'd recommend a full factory reset, but people can try what they feel comfortable with. Personally, I did a factory reset, wiped both caches, and then flashed the ROM (with TWRP).

Do you have any on your sdcard partition in the Ringtones folder? If not, I'd check \system\media\audio path (subfolders for ringtones, alarms, etc). Delete any duplicates you find in there. I don't have any duplicates and there aren't any in the rom.zip I uploaded.
just overwrote mms.apk in system/apps to get the custom pink mms, and got a quick reboot to my boot screen, this never happened on 4.1 roms that weren't source, don't know if this is normal because i replaced the app and it was a one time thing (i hope). as far as going to system/media/ringtones, i see them but there arent any doubles, however theres doubles when i go to select a ringtone from the menu, for everything system related, ringtones and notifications.
What issues have people had? Any boot issues?
I replaced the "stock" keypress ogg files from ics/jelly bean that sound better with this 4.1.1 release, the new key click sounds are horrible. works fine. i used to have t-cdma 64 with any build from 4.1.1 there is a fix that works that ill just apply. its a xml file or something.
Hello everyone!
I modified Google Apps for ICS/JB because of the limited storage in the system.
All you have to do is install it in recovery.
DOWNLOAD
Mini Google Apps ICS
Mini Google Apps JB
Make sure that you've done a backup before flashing.
If you got a bootloop maybe you need to delete some apps on your ROM directory: /system/app
Changelog:
20/11/2012
-The links have been changed to dropbox because of problems with mediafire
-Have been removed some apps and libs in Google Apps JB
If you want you can remove Google Talk from /system/app
Enjoy
My work:
-Mini Google Apps for ICS/JB
-Mini Trebuchet for CM9.1/CM10
If I helped you and you like my work push thank's buttom

its wrong. thats it^^
Gingerbread just indicates the version number (or the version name). He would be "righter" with: you dont need gapps on Stock (-GB) rom.
The main purpose of this mini packages are the totally overkill CM9+ / Android 4+ versions. Android above 2.3.x was never meant to run on our low hardware device eventhough its possible as you see. But the gapps sometimes are too big for /system (gapps + "normal" android).
tl:dr version: You dont really need this mini versions on GB. you can, but dont need to use them. In android 4.x you sometimes HAVE TO use them, otherwise they wont fit in /system (due to insufficient space)

Oh, so, correct me if I'm wrong but what I understand with your explanation is that if I'm in GB (say CM7.2) I have to use only the apps that comes with the ROM?
I'm asking this because I flashed CM7.2 yesterday and it didn't come with the google play and I was getting trouble trying to log my google account up avoiding me to install titanium backup to get all my apps again. I don't know if this is a ROM problem or a particular one, but everything went right once I've flashed the "gapps-gb-20120317-237-signed", but of course this also consumed a good 30 or 40mb from the system so that's why I'm trying to find a better way to solve this issue of "limited storage".

I mean you don't need MINI Google Apps GB
Sent from my bq Maxwell Plus
In CM7.2 you need some kind of gapps, because google prohibited usage of build-in gapps.
and your last line is exactly what those mini packages are about. in GB you have enough space for normal packages. in CM9+ you (mostly) do not have that space.
so
CM72: Gapps/mini-apps => both work
CM9+: Gapps => not enough space / mini-apps => only working solution (in most occasions)
this resumee also has its flaws, but i hope i could make the point of those packages a bit clearer for you.
The size of Google Apps GB is around 6 mb, don't you have free system storage?

Hi,
I have rooted and flashed numerous ROMs on several phones that I've had over the past few years, and installed minimal GAPPs such as BanKs, but this is a bit different.
I have just bought an S4 mini for my daughter, I have the intention of locking it down in many ways, but one thing i would like to do is remove gmail (and possibly other apps). I know there would be the option of not setting up a google account, but i don't want to do this as i want her to have access to google play music.
So my question is, can this be done on the stock ROM (with root), or a ROM that is based on stock so that she can keep all the fancy samsung widgets and things? And if so would the ROM be safe/stable, or would i need to do this on a more vanilla ROM such as CM or AOSP?
Thanks.

You can easily disable app in the application manager without rooting the phone. This will allow you to remove contact sync calendar sync gmail sync and all the other bloatware that cames with google account. But it's only disable and can be reanable eaysily

After rooting you could uninstall or freeze (=disable) nearly everything with Titanium Backup.
For a list which apps can be uninstalled without losing important functions, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39395506&postcount=604
You'll have to lower your sights, though, if your daughter wants to use some of the "bloatfeatures"...
But still, a rooted stock ROM should be sufficient.
I could not find it searching.
When I switch GPS on - Google wants to collect data about my position. I dont want it.
On 4.3 there was marker - remember my choice.
On 4.4 - I need cancel it every single time. Soon it becomes pain.
Any known trick ?
Or I just miss something ...?

I didn't.
My phone is rooted, yes.
As I've read - Xpose requires lot of work, deodex ROM and more ...
For now I don't have time to play this way with my Z1C, it must work almost all the time.
Neither I want deodex ROM, opinions are that odexed is faster.
I opened other question of this sort, curious if something comes up.
When I disabled some Google services - GPS went to defaults = use everything.
I am afraid it may be hardcoded in library, gps-something.so.
Recompiling from sources is even worse considering time spent on it.
I can live with it as is if I have no other options.
Thanx for info.

After rooting, just download and install xposed as other apps. It does not require anymore of work (deodex or something else).

Hi, I'm getting back into ROMs after not looking at this forum since the Galaxy S (seriously). I want a ROM without Google baked into it. I see a few ROMs suggesting "dirty build" or optional installation of GAPPs. Do these ROMs actually provide an AOSP build without Google running in the background (play services, etc.)?
Basically, I'm looking for a ROM on my Nexus5x that doesn't track me back through Google (most stable, don't really care about speed/themes). Trying to get away from Google as much as possible due to their constant data mining, and I think this is the only way. Total NEWB here, I did use the search function, but I ran into a bunch of thread that didn't seem directly related.
I think that you are looking for LineageOs (ex CyanogenMod). You can install it without Google apps, so no play services, no Google account required, etc..
