It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts.

Die2mrw007 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 permanent root or temporary root? which one do you recommend ?Either of it it doesnt really matter. A rooted device can always have additional level of operations and tweaks. A permanent root means the ROM will be pre rooted Temporary root means the ROM actually isnt rooted and you need to do this manually. It will last only until you reset your device. Whereas in permanent root, it will stay rooted even after you reset your device. Quote
