It's been known for a long time that Google has the power to pull or push any app to/from your phone, using the GTalkService: INSTALL_ASSET or REMOVE_ASSET. Thus we would like to disable this dangerous functionality, or at least detect it, when app is in a non-green detection/status mode. In addition, turning off GTalkService will also improve your battery life somewhat. Fortunately (!) this will also block the use of Google Play and updates. We need to:

• Collect more info on which exact service need to be disabled
• Find out if the above event can be easily detected and/or blocked, even if all services are running.
