Probably should not buy a Google phone lol
Delete the apks in the system/app & system/priv-app folders and replace with aosp apps. Set permissions of courses. That's where I would start. An Aosp app installer should do that for you. Maybe compile a ROM from AOSP source?

I actually it's the opposite. Google makes AOSP and their phones will certainly run AOSP. Google create a custom pixel experience on the phone so I would ditch the stock ROM and build AOSP. Please correct me if I'm wrong I actually have never done it myself, but I have flashed many of ROM built from AOSP using the default AOSP system apps. But I found pure AOSP to be pretty bare-bones so I don't know overall if I would like that over what I'm getting from pixel ROM

Extract an AOSP ROM and grab all the apk's from it and copy to the same locations in your phone.
Then use Titanium Backup to remove the previous system apps.
Do a backup first though of course because you're sure to run into at least a couple speed bumps.
does this require root?

You need root to access the system level apps and titanium backup is a root app as well.
You can remove the system apps via adb without root.

Deleting some system apps does not change to AOSP.
I think it would not be a good idea to delete all google apps !
If you want AOSP you need to build it by yourself.
Or wait until someone else does.
You have to be careful what you delete.
As a word of warning, uninstalling system applications can be very dangerous so please know what you’re getting rid of before you complete these steps. Failing to do so could result in your phone becoming unusable until you perform a factory reset. Of course, by removing any given system application, another system application that may depend on it may also break so be careful what you remove. But if something does go wrong, you can always perform a factory reset to bring things back to the way they were. Which is something else you should know – these uninstalled system applications can/will come back after a factory reset.

I think if you want a pure AOSP experience, the best path is to install an AOSP project treble GSI.

no you cant remove them, they just become 'invisible' to your user profile on the phone
they are still there however.
something like
pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.apkname
this doesnt uninstall the app, create another user on the phone and the same system app will be there.

Everything I removed via adb no longer has system folders, data folders and isn't showing up in Titanium Backup. Chrome, CellBroadcasts, Project Fi and a couple others I can remember is what I uninstalled via ADB and now that I'm rooted I've been able to look for remnants of the apps and I don't see anything.

How do you create apk of built-in apps? I have AppInstaller which allows me to make backup .apk of apps that I install, but it does not show any of the built-in apps. I would definitely like to have .apk's of all built-in apps before flashing a custom ROM (when they become available), because I use QuickOffice a lot and it is included free - don't want to have to pay for it to add it back in to any other ROM.

Did you push them or just try to install as a normal apk. Sounds like you tried to install normally but, I would think that since they are system apps they would need to be pushed via adb or copy and pasted w/ es file explorer or root explorer and set permissions. Of course there is also the possibility that they only work on jelly bean, but i can't say that for sure.

Definitely tried to push them to system. Even the keyboard doesn't pop up. I think it's a signature thing why there's a parsing error. I could be wrong though. We'll see what happens when AOSP is released...

You can use apktool. For a more user friendly way try Apk manager. If you use apk manager throw the app in the "place here for signing" folder, fire up apk manager and choose option 16. I'm more than happy try it for you if you want, but i think it's always fun to learn.

Velvet.apk is the Google Now and Google Voice Search combined, doesn't work as it requires API Level 16, which only Jellybean has. So it won't work until a Jellybean ROM is ported or the apk is made backward compatible, which I will be forever grateful somebody does!
Do you guys see API16 available yet in the SDK?
I see the documentation on the site, but nothing thru the SDK Manager
http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.1.html
Edit2: had to update to Rev20 first.. now it's available.
Sux that velvet won't work. That's one app I was really hoping would just install easily. Hopefully since this isn't a massive update like ICS was, once source is dropped our awesome devs can get us a JB rom

If anyone's able to get it (velvet) to decompile, lemme know what your apktool setup is. I'm trying a few methods, but still getting errors.

Try a smaller package. You are probably installing one with all Google apps that might result in this condition. I personally use minimal as I don't like all play store junk.

Yeh i personally prefer the stock Gapps because it removes the AOSP versions of Dialer, Launcher etc..
Also stock gives me what stock has on Nexus devices so its pretty cool.. I used to use Pa Gapps Stock package prior to this but i see that Open GApps stock wont fit on these devices so was just wondering if everyone experiences this or is it just me
Is there no solution to this?
But i want all
I want many Google play apps i.e Gapps
Plz provide the way to install all apps from gapps
it is saying insufficient system space

from my test and experiences both are very stable and fast roms, truepure has great customization since its deodexed, battery life is good and its pretty smooth, after a couple of months with it i switched to the stock 6.0 odexed with may security update, boot, multitasking and opening apps is a lot smoother and faster than truepure, i did lose the ability to install themes and such but the smoothness and fluidity of the UI is incredible, i did install both with frankenclark .13 300hz version with rehyp scripts.

Try Titanium Back-up.
With the paid version you can backup apps in a batch or even a zipfile.

After the new ROM and installing TiBu, do you tell TiBu in the preferences setting and let it know where your folder is on the SD card? I have to do that then I can reinstall any or all apps. TiBu no longer finds it on its own.

First you need to find the name of the package it's conflicting with so I suspect it's conflicting with CMFileManager.
If you have 7zip you can double click on the pixelfy file go to META-INF/com/google/android/ then drag out the updater-script into a folder or your desktop.
Open the updater-script with notepad and then let me know once you have done this.
