Already read that before. Is there a part in there where it actually mentions the files I'm talking about?

Just don't install gapps at all.
And if you need anything like the play store or something, just download the apk and it will install the necessary dependencies.

No it won't. Certain apps won't function unless you have play services.

>>54439933
Sadly - this.

>>54439933
And it will install it after you download the play store apk.
Or at least that's what it did for me, I'm running CM12.1 without flashed gapps, yet I've got play store and play services

I have some bad news for you.

>>54439882
Modifying anything in archive manually will require to resign it, you really don't want to just use config for gapps?

>debotnetting gapps
that's like debotnetting win10

>>54439999
I don't even know what those files are and if I can use the config files and skip them during flash.

Nice quads, by the way.

>>54440006
I didn't say to completely debotnet it.

technically you are safe as long as you avoid google play services.
minimal gapps install should be fine(playstore, drive, gtalk, maps).
they do not require play services.

the google play services is where most of the data collection happens. it also interlocks google apps.
