When you turn on your Android for the first time, the first thing you’ll notice is it asking to sign in with Google account. You will also see a lot of Google apps on the device simultaneously. After creating a Google account or signing in with your existing account, you will get access to all the Google apps that are available. Every Google app should be linked with the Google account before it is used. It would be very comfortable linking all the Google apps together and uncomfortable too while we had to link the each and every app.
In some cases, Google apps cannot bring you what you really wanted. You may be the Yahoo kind of a guy or Microsoft. You may wanted the better driving guide than the Google Maps - thanks for the developers for making up the the alternatives. There are a lot of alternatives available in the app markets that replaces Google from your Android totally. Among them some best are sorted out and presented before you.
The following email services are the best alternatives for Gmail:
If you are looking for an easily usable email client, Outlook is the answer. It is simple, effective and lacks some features by the fact but doesn’t integrates with Android the way Gmail does. Contacts and calendar can be synced along with the sending of emails in real time. this Outlook client also imports Gmail messages easily and relatively.
Just like Google, one Yahoo account gives access to Yahoo hub. This means, while sending an email, Yahoo mail app lets you check out the weather, read headlines and check out scores on sports board. Yahoo account also provides access to the non self-host services like Flickr. Though Yahoo tries to catch up with Google in the race, it couldn’t get nearer to Google each time.
Ustream, as the name suggests, stream live videos. It has easy user interface and navigability allowing users move on the app smoothly over thousands of videos online. One Ustream video allows 20,000 people watch live at one time.
Plex is a centralized home media playback system with a powerful central server. Plex allows you to browse latest videos and news headlines at a time in the same app. It most possibly streams videos in HD format. With one Plex account you can watch organize you media on any other device.
Though Vimeo has less content than YouTube, it has better range of abstract videos rather than having low quality(content wise) videos as a dump.
Nokia Maps stands second to that of Google Maps. Nokia maps has a lot of decent features like,
Google maps is good enough to show maps in street view but with outdated images. WikiTude give you the real time street view live images, taken with your Android phone’s camera helping you navigate through the roads and identify places. For this this app uses augmented reality technology to serve the purpose.
CoPilot live is an amazing application for navigation. It has features that you can’t find in Google Maps either. This application is available in country wise editions with clear and concise information about locations. The premium editions of this application is too costly but it is worth buying for.

Best Alternatives for Gmail
No way! Gmail is the best email service that you can have on any Android or another kind of smart phone. The features and security offered by Gmail are not seen in other email services. Though, you may wanted to use your Microsoft’s Outlook(once Hotmail) to check your synced OneDrive files or Yahoo mail to maintain communication with your older contacts. As email means not just Gmail, we got to use the others to know what's best.The following email services are the best alternatives for Gmail:

Best Alternatives for YouTube
I won’t say YouTube isn’t the best, but I would say it is not every time. As to stay out of Google on the Android and to choose an alternative for it, I would suggest the following applications that withstand the competition with YouTube and stand as the best alternatives.Ustream
Ustream, as the name suggests, stream live videos. It has easy user interface and navigability allowing users move on the app smoothly over thousands of videos online. One Ustream video allows 20,000 people watch live at one time.

Best Alternatives for Google Maps
Navigation is all that I use on my phone at best. Google Maps serves best but while we had to choose an alternative for it, I choose the following:Nokia Maps
Nokia Maps stands second to that of Google Maps. Nokia maps has a lot of decent features like,
- You an search the locations on the map (from the deep roots).
- Speaks the directions while driving or walking.
- You can share the locations and near by places and more.
