Install Google Apps using ADB for LG P690B

First it needs to be root, this is the case for LG P690B when enabled debug and connected to PC via USB.
 C:\Users\tv\Downloads\SuperOneClickv2.2\ADB>adb shell
$
$ means unroot (just like sudo on linux root)

Do root follow this link for instruction it takes about few minutes

After doing the prompt will change from '$' to "#' (root as linux world)
C:\Users\tv\Downloads\SuperOneClickv2.2\ADB>adb shell
# ls  
 # means rooted

Install apps without login to google account, if you follow the above link for root then you already have
ADB installed in your computer. In my case it locates in Downloads directory below.
C:\Users\tv\Downloads\SuperOneClickv2.2\ADB>adb install c:\users\tv\Downloads\Ti
tanium_Backup_root_5_6_0.apk
2335 KB/s (5768864 bytes in 2.412s)
        pkg: /data/local/tmp/Titanium_Backup_root_5_6_0.apk
Success
Titanium_Backup_root is installed without using Google Market which required Gmail account.

Without connecting to Google account the Wifi signal is Grey or White indicates that it is not sync to Google account because it is installed Google Apps using ADB. The following picture indicates that Wifi is white color it was capture using aScreenShoot apps. Beside the color everything is working surf the web and so on....
With this in mind we can have Android phone runs all the apps without Google knowing about the phone the minute that you login into the Google account you can not logout and the phone is tracked the only thing gets out the Google account by doing the manufacture reset. I try clear data of Google apps or Account sync and none of them seems working. Manufacture reset will wipe out all the data and possible unroot the phone again.
This is becoming important when people gives the phone away. Google should make easy for people to change account or remove account.
