[Q] Need help with Gmail apk - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help please. I made a bonehead move. I downloaded and installed the leaked ICS Gmail apk on my 4G Xoom a few days ago. The bonehead part was that I didn't backup the original. I now want to go back to the one I had on 3.2.2 and I can't find it. Can someone point me to one, or post one?
TIA!

Delete the new one and install the old from the market.
In search type gmail.

Nope, that doesn't work. Gmail does not show up in the market. Pretty much everything else from Google does, but not Gmail.

Darn it...I think only Sense can download GMail from market.
Ill see if i can upload the apk. Would that violate rules though?

Check your system apps folder if you have it there and reinstall it that way.
It should be there unless you deleted the file manually.

[REQUEST] CityID.apk

Yes, this is the first time someone actually wants CityID. It's the only thing stopping me from applying the latest update.zip. I've been searching for quite a few hours to no success. Every search I've tried to find the stock CityID app has only led to how to remove it. These all would have been helpful to see before I deleted it through Titanium rather than renaming it. The couple of installs I found have been for other phones, none of which have allowed me to bypass the step in Recovery. Would anyone kindly upload the stock CityID, or even point me in the direction of it. I'm assuming I can just place it back in /system/app/ correct?
I'll add my request to this as well so this topic stays near the top!
I'm also stuck at this error trying to install the new update.zip! I've been doing searches as well and haven't been able to find CityID.apk anywhere!
I'm also assuming that you can just do an adb push of the apk back into the /system/app directory.... fingers crossed!
Try the HeyItsLouFroyo Rom thread in the dev section. He has a zip file of removed apps. Didn't look. But I think it's in there since he said he removed it.

just follow this tutorial and you should be all good. I just switched from tranquility over to this and it is much better.
hey I am on v2.0 of epic unleashed so do I have to wipe to flash this?
Something is big and wrong here. My google account is gone, and when you go to add an account, there is no google. Essentially I cannot use this. Seems some things got fixed, and some things got broken. Sadly, big things got broken.

Help me out here a bit, check on the zip file and can you tell me if it says 117.02M or 117.14?

I am in linux, so it calculates my size slightly different. But there is something suspicious with what it is doing. I checked the update-script, and it is copying all blur and google applications and bloatware to system folder. I verified in a file manager that my system is full of everything. Now it isn't all showing up in my app drawer. I suspect there are some competing services messing things up here. Not sure though.
But to answer your question, mine says 117.1

Thank you, when he first posted the post, the file shows 117.02M, but now he updated the downloading link it shows 117.14 now, i wonder what the .12M change was
My google account is gone too. I used the newest download. I also noticed all the blur apks are still there. I thought a blurless rom removed all those. Im going back to my last backup I was running 2.0 great

I am new to modding my Sprint hero

I rooted the phone and flashed the ROM. I am looking to get Android market and figure out how to sync my contacts with GMAIL. I am very new to this and actually didn't really want to do it, but why not. I need all kinds of help.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony
The best advice I can give you, being pretty new myself, is to search the forum every question has been asked 12 times atleast. And the people here are extremely helpful. From my knowledge I would search for a Google addons zip and flash it. But I could be wrong.

Make sure you keep the gapps file for future use. ROMS built from source cannot have googles proprietary files included.

Accidently deleted kindle app

It was a specific version that I cant find on the amazon appstore.
It recognized my kindle, well being on the android marketplace i updated it and didnt have a backup.
Does anyone have the stock apk for Amazon Kindle App? (before rooting)
No need. I did the same a few days ago. Just go to your Settings and and go to your apps. You have the option to uninstall the update for Kindle but not the app itself. Once you ininstall the update all is well again.

this probably would have worked had I not uninstalled it from titanium backup, I fear I may have to just reinstall the ROM

Rooting, doesn't change the app.
See PM.
You should be able to just use the latest one from the market without any issues.

this is inacurrate, if u update from android market it doesnt detect your device as a kindle fire, in the kindle app, or it didnt detect mine as a fire and it said that "Maximum PC" can only be downloaded by Kindle Fire.
Nobody else may have seen this and I haven't read my PM, rooting my device DIDNT change the app, but rooting it, installing android market, and updating the app changed it, when I got the error of it not detecting my fire I deleted the APP thinking kindle would have a copy of it still, and it removed it.
to fix this I just went to amazons software update page, downloaded 6.2***.bin and put it in my kindle update folder and manually reloaded the rom. Worked like a charm.
Ill see PM and respond accordingly.
check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348782&highlight=system+dump It is something like kindleforotter.apk. copy that to /system/app and chmod to 755 or rw-r--r-- if you use root explorer. I had to do the same thing a few weeks ago.

I updated from android market and it's working fine, no problems what-so-ever.
I also did the update from google market and it works. I like it better I can now launch my books from go launcher. No more looking at the stock launcher at all.
Glad to see it's working for you guys, maybe I just had a hickup. I panicked and deleted it and redownloaded the whole app tho too, and thats when I realized it didnt work. Regardless It's running now. Thanks everyone for input.

I know exactly what you're asking, and it boggles me that no one could do you the simple favor of going to /system/app and uploading their version of kindle... Instead offering pointless advice to use the market version, which you clearly pointed out had a limitation you didn't want. I also deleted the original version that came with my kindle or I would have uploaded it for you. I still don't have a copy and would greatly appreciate it if you could do me the favor of uploading it now that you've restored it on your kindle? Thanks in advance!

I too thought it was pretty apparent that's what he was asking for. The market version is substantially different from the default system app.

sorry to hear that, what was the error message ?
maybe because of the 6.2.2..
you can try to extract the required apk from the update bin i think , or post a new thread in the dev section someone with 6.2.2 could help
It took forever but I did just that and now it's perfect. I immediately put it in my system folder and tibu. I'm so glad that night mare is over. If anyone needs it please msg me and ill send a link.

Installed and nada, zip, zilch. Then again, I'm not running an ICS ROM right now which I believe is a requirement. Will try again after I find a stable ROM.

it says nothing on the post about needing ICS for this to work, maybe double check your permissions using the ES file explorer. did you read the ENTIRE thread? also how did you try to get it to work? did you try to launch the widget? i would try to install it myself but i'm at work for another 3 hours and have a business meeting afterwords. re-read the thread maybe something was missed

Well when it's installing it clearly states Google Now for ICS, altho the thread itself doesn't necessarily mention it... followed all the instructions to the T, no Google Now in my apps, and certainly no widget to add either.
This thread appears to confirm requirement of ICS as well: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...528-google-now-thunderbolt-flashable-zip.html
