Removing Gapps package from phone

Does anybody know how to remove an entire Gapps package from our phone, in order to flash another?
I'm using Justin Bean inverted Gapps and I'm having a hell of a time with it, mainly the YouTube app which will force close every time you try to raise the volume of a video via volume rocker, and then will not re-open until the phone is rebooted.
I want to remove JB Gapps and flash an entirely different package. I'm on Cypher ROM Build 2.

You should be able to wipe cache and dalvik and then flash the new package and reboot.

Use root explorer.. go to /system and delete YouTube.apk
Then install the one of your choice

That's what I was trying to get around doing. It's a pain to have to set everything up the way I like it again, which is why I haven't flashed Build 3 yet.
I ended up going through the ROM with Titanium Backup, uninstalling all of the Justin Bean Gapps, and just flashing an entirely new package. Everything is working great, now.

It's always good to do a fresh wipe every once in awhile

CM10 Install = Force Close on all Gapps?

This never used to happen until a month ago or so but any of the CM10 nightly install fine (I am using the right gapps). Any how I do a full wipe install and upon boot all the Google apps modules keyboard, media etc start force closing. Anything I am missing here this seemed to start happening middle Sept with any nightly I have tried installing. Thanks for any help with this!

Have you been re flashing gapps with each nightly? Also what version of gapps are you using, just to be sure.

I have used gapps-jb-20121011-signed stright from goomanager and also the Cyanogen link (wiki) for CM10 -- this started around the middle of September (I dont recall the exact date to be honest). I am not installing ontop of its-self I am doing a fresh install (cache, dalvik, factory reset, system wipe, etc) in TWRP.
When I do a new install (each time doing a full wipe) all of the gapps start crashing when the phone boots up the 1st time...
I just dont know what else to try here honestly and hope I can find an answer!

Actually Rohan something else is going on here -- even if I dont install the GAPP package at 1st I get things like NFC force closing on boot. The really strange thing is I installed AOKP release 4 and it does not have this problem -- it installs fine it boots fine it has given me no errors like the CM10 nightly's have (great work btw).

[Q] Help with inverted app

About a month ago,I installed inverted gapps using quickflash and everything has been working fine. However, today, I accidentally updated my instagram and the app has now reverted back to stock. Is there anyway that I can just flash the inverted version of this app without having to : wipe everything, flash the ROM, flash gapps, then reinstall the whole quickflash package?

[Q] AOKP Nightlies Update Problem

I have couple of question and need some help. With the new AOKP nightlies being release every 3 days or so, I would like to stay updated on them. So when I download them and proceed to update and flash over the old nightly. (Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache) Upon reboot everything is gone icluding Gapps and seems that it instead of just updating the rom and keeping everything, It updates everything and wipes clean as if it was a fresh flash instead of a update flash ("Dirty flash"). Does anybody know why this happens? Is it that with the AOKP nightlies, you just have to always do a clean install and flash?

I can see why the keyboard won't work. That might be due to having to re install Gapps. But I don't understand why every time I update to the new nightlies, all my stuff is gone and it's like a full wipe fresh install/flash. Does anybody know how to avoid this from happening? Or is it that AOKP nightlies won't allow these types of updates.

I don't think there is a way around this. I've been using aokp for awhile and i just keep all my apps backed up so i can restore them after install.

Okay. Thank you for the help.

Play store issue when installing 4.3 Roms

I have been having issues with the play store when I flash any 4.3 roms. I get the no connection retry error. Also when i sign in to my Google account, hang outs notification comes up saying that it can not sign in. I odin back to stock and the apps work. If i install any rom that is not 4.3 the play store will work but once I try to do a 4.3 rom the errors occur. The mobile data is working with the browser. I have tried cleaning host files, checking time, creating new account, clearing cache, factory reset and those do not fix the issue. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What gapps package are you flashing with the ROM? I would try a different package.

I have been using the one that is built into the rom. I did try to flash the latest gapps but it started to force close apps when i rebooted. I don't think I deleted all the gapps that came with the rom though so that may be the issue with the force close. I have not tried to flash an older gapps though. I'll give that a try tonight after work. Thank you for the idea!
