I disabled Google Play Services and Google Services Framework on my Moto G, because I don't need them and the Play Store (I sideload all my apps from the pc).
But there's a big problem: if I disable even one of them, and try to enable the geolocation, it only uses the option "high precision" and, worse then that, it makes all the android framework crash and reboot if I try to open any geolocation-using app (like Google Maps or the camera with geo-ON). Any hint to solve this issue? I really want to get rid of these services, for battery and privacy reasons (in particular, battery improvements are really noticeable!).
UPDATE: I don't get this bug UNLESS I reboot the phone. If I do, I get this issue. If I don't, Maps still works even with these services disabled. I'd like anyway to solve this problem so I don't have to make laborious procedures everytime the phone reboot (I already have to kill 5 motorola processes, i.e. Motocare and Motorola Services ones).
I've attached a pair of screens to clarify my situation. I'm on the STOCK and NO-ROOTED rom.
Thank you very much in advance
So you do need Google services? But don't want to need them, my advice flash stock android ROM without using G-apps

No, I'm on the stock android and not need them. But if I disable them, and I reboot the phone, all the geolocating app I use make the system crash, that's a weird behaviour. To convince yourself, you can disable both the services, restart the phone, open Google Maps and press the location button.
If I don't reboot the phone, instead, Google Maps continues to work even with this two services disabled... that's what confuses me
I basically meant stock and stripped like CM11 without Gapps

Basically, you're going to have to root and flash your phone. You can't remove Google services on stock.

I am one of those who do they everyday work without google stuff and without gapps. I found out several problems:
Some apps do not install because of missing Google Maps API
Some apps fc at startup bacause of missing Maps API or market license check issues
Some apps hardcoded links to several Google Apps and therefor fc or react unexpectedly on certain cases.
No access to Play Store (i tried nearly every alternative market, but nothing is as good for free apps as play store) Meanwhile, F-Droid provides nearly everything you need

Thank you for the intereeting link. Unluckily it regards mainly rooted devices... Pretty interesting though
Let me see if I get this right. You purchased a phone manufactured by Google, using a stock Rom compiled by Google, and you are trying to used Google software (Google Maps or Motorola Camera software- by Google) and you find it surprising that the system crashes after disabling Google's framework? And you are hoping to solve this without rooting or flashing a custom Rom? Seriously?
Sorry for the ironic tone, but you really need to give the idea of making a thread for this a second thought, my friend.
No problem for the ironic tone,but I can ensure you that I'm running Google Maps and (Motorola, not Google!) Camera App geotag WITHOUT having these two services enabled, and they work flawlessy the problem is ONLY when I REBOOT the phone, in which case I must enable and disable again these services in order to make apps with geolocation work without crashing the system. I will attach a screenshot of my running processes in the STOCK and NOROOT rom, and I ensure you that apart this small, boot-time issue, everything works great on my phone (with a great battery boost, I've been able to achieve 9 hours of screen time plus 1hr of calls, what do you think?).
I've about 50 apps installed, I just don't like Motorola and Google ones because they keep running about all the time, sucking out a lot of private data and battery juice
Well I am new to Android and also have/had problems using the moto g. I disabled all Google apps and stuff I could find and the OS is not really stable, I get quite a few hiccups and the phone crashes every now and then. I thought the nova launcher might be the problem, but I also suspect the OS in general.
But unlike you I don't use any Google stuff, so not even maps.
Well, I am selling the phone anyway.
No crashes here apart this Maps tweak, so it sound's really weird... maybed you disabled some critical services. On my device, with kitkat 4.4.2, ART compiler, everything is more than stable. You could try a factory reset or switching from Dalvik to ART too...
Sounds like a gigantic hassle. I don't think these services use much battery at all.

Before saying that, try and let me know
(as soon I will use it in a regoular way - I.e. not gaming and not browsing all the time - I'll post a screenshot proving the 9 hours of screen time, that I wasn't able to reach with Google services enabled)
Ive had 9 hours screen time with google services enabled but that was just doing light stuff ,got 2.5 days out of my last battery charge but that was with only 5 hours screen time but mine is rooted and greenified now.
Cant think of a solution to your problem sorry,guess you will just have to avoid rebooting.
yes, I guess so...
I need to reinstall Google play services on my moto g how do I do this?
This thread is over a year old and totally unrelated to your question. Searching the forums is my advice because you are pretty unlikely to find an answer to your question by posting in this particular thread
Now, I can say i am really experienced with android as of now. I have handled almost all of my own problems.
But one still remains... I use google keep and google url shortener on my phone which both require google play services
Now, I am running an unofficial build of cyanogenmod 10.1, and I use greenify. I also use tasker. I want to STOP google play
services on my command, but I don't want to install xposed framework because it drains a whole lot of battery and memory.
Can somebody please tell me how to stop all of the play services so i don't have 8 google play services running at once?
It really annoys me and I would like to stop it from running unless i say.
Thanks,
chopper
Hi everyone!
In this thread you find a small guide for get more free RAM on your device (about 40-50mb: screenshot).
First of all you need root permissions.
Second install DisableService. Now open it and select Google Play Services, so uncheck:
AdRequestBrokerService
AnalyticsIntentService
AnalyticsService
BrokeredFitnessService
CastService
CoreAnalyticsIntentService
DeviceConnectionServiceBroker
DispatchingService
GcmService
GeocodeService
GeofenceProviderService
GoogleLocationManagerService
GoogleLocationService
LocationWearableListenerService
NlpLocationRecieverService
WatchdogService
WearableControlService
WearableService
You'll get a lot of free RAM but I don't know what work and what doesn't work now.

Nice suggestion but I've blocked installation of google play services and installed old google apps which does the same trick!
GUIDE UPDATED.
I have also disabled SystemUpdateService but I don't know what doesn't work now.

I had disabled it before you updated this thread.
It doesn't affect anything!

I suppose that was the process checking for new firmware updates
you might add this to the OP.
It doesn't matter much now.
we aren't going to get any official updates now
Another thing , the NlpLocation service is the notorious google play process.
It wakes up the device at regular intervals.
Disabling it might actually save a bit of battery
.
Disabling the NlpLocation service won't cause any problems unless you use apps which depend on your location like Google Maps weather reporting apps etc.
Press thanks if I helped .
what about eventlogservice and ConfigFetchService in google play services?
A better solution: DELETE Google play services
A better solution: DELETE Google play services
Then nothing of Google will work anymore

Google Play works, Google Translate works, and I think that other apps work.

Hi everyone, thanks for reading.
I'm looking to step away from Google Play Services and everything else that might be spying on what I'm doing and selling that info to advertisers and god knows who else. The issue I have is that there are a few apps I can't live without. I understand that I can use APKUpdater to easily sideload apps and keep them up to date. But I have some questions before I pull the trigger.
1) Will Uber work without Google Play Services?
2) Will Spotify work without Google Play Services?
3) The s6 camera software is fantastic, is there a way I can flash my phone and keep it?
4) What's the best OS to use to get away from my privacy being compromised
I know that Spotify and uber probably will be bad news for my privacy, but I just can't live without them right now.
Many thanks in advance,

Hey guys,
I have a question about google assistant. My LG Zero meets all the requirements for google assistant and it is up to date. I've tried everything, signing up for google beta and google services beta, and then cleaning all the google and google services data, restarting my phone, setting language to english US and UK ( neither worked ), I even went deeper with the apps that allow you to open extra google processes, but i was never able to get it, it still shows that stupid help menu when i hold down the home button. I have android 6.0 and google version higher than 6.13, google and google services are both up to date. Could someone help me please? I really want to get that google assistant because i want to connect it to my Jbl charge 3 speaker for some awesome features.
Thank you for your time,
Best regards, Maks
