With Cyanogen Mod 7, you can choose which Gapp you need when you set up the first Gmail account, as a CM 7 user I no longer update this gapps package.
By the way, the gapps package is only to be used with CM6.

If you have already installed your ROM and have been using it for a while, you may also try this more convenient way to move updated apps from /data/app to /system/app if you have Titanium Backup installed :

or you could manually move the files with Linux commands.. both options, IMHO and no offense whatsoever to the effort put in to these packs, are better than waiting for update zips.. use the market as it was intended

Thanks to Carig for providing the above procedure
-------------------------------------------
By the way. It's easy to make an update package by yourself!
Here are the steps that I used:
1. Download any gapps update pack
2. On your phone, update Google apps
3. Find your updated google apps' APK files in /data/app, copy & paste them onto your SD card
4. (optional) if you Want to immediately apply your update pack after making it, uninstall updates of all your updated Google apps from Market
5. copy updated APKs from your SD card to your computer
6. use any Zip file manager (e.g. 7-zip, a free one), open the old Google apps update package (the zip file)
7. Carefully re-name your downloaded APKs to the names in the update package (e.g. rename com.google.android.gm-1.apk -> Gmail.apk)
8. copy and paste your new APK files into the Zip archive
9. (optional) sign your package, using Zip Signer (freeware on Android Market) or using this tutorial:

Thanks man, it's so useful to me everytime I flash a nightly : )
Thanks a lot!
Thanks very useful
thankyou very much
I would love to see a program which can work with exchange Group adress lists. That together with a nice email widget is moving me towards sense all the time.
Good Stuff! Thanks
what abt market?
If it's not already on /data, will this move it?
Prob a stupid question...
What if we already have GApps installed and we don't want to wipe?
Maps 4.7 is out.
Thanks guys, new pack is now up, including updated Maps, soundback and Terminal Emulator, rebased on CM's gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip.
This update package will not automatically remove updates which you already done in Market, but it's easy to remove them. Just go to Market and "uninstall updates" to all your updated system apps.
I'm currently learning how to make update script, I hope I'll implement that feature later.
Thanks for your work, I'll keep an eye on this thread too

Now I'm on holiday so I'll give them a try I'm very new to Android development.
I had few problems with the Terminal Emulator, I can not simply replace AndroTerm.apk with newer version, it will force close if doing a clean installation (flash rom then immediately flash the update package)
I'll look into this problem....

UPDATE 3
--------------
Added modified GMail v3.2.1 for HC and GMail v4.0.3 for ICS based ROMs. Make sure you download the right one for your OS (GB, HC, or ICS).
--------------
Hey guys, for those of you who didn't know, the Gmail application now RESTRICTS access to your emails by third party apps. This basically means that any app that needs access to your email database (for example, Pure Messenger Widget) will be LOCKED OUT and therefore Gmail will be disabled in said application.
So I went ahead and modified the latest Gmail apk to ALLOW EXTERNAL ACCESS to re-enable support for apps that require it. Hope this helps anyone who needed it.
Install Instructions (YOU MUST BE ROOTED!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
0) DOWNLOAD CORRECT VERSION FOR YOUR OS AND RENAME TO Gmail.apk
1) Open Root Explorer (or any other root file manager you like)
2) NAVIGATE to /data/app
3) DELETE com.google.android.gm-1.apk (it might say com.google.android.gm-2.apk for some people or it may not exist at all)
4) NAVIGATE to /system/app
5) Mount Read/Write
6) DELETE Gmail.apk
7) COPY new modified Gmail.apk into /system/app
8) CHANGE permissions to Owner = read/write, Group = read, Others = read.
---(The following may not be necessary but its HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!)---
9) REBOOT into Recovery
10) Wipe Cache/Dalvik-Cache/Fix Permisions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
11) REBOOT!
NOTE: Some apps may require you to uninstall and reinstall the program before it is able to see the change in Gmail (for example, Pure Messenger Widget)
DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!
APK Re-added.
I was having issues with regards to getting the app to show up after reboot but realized it wasn't actually a problem with the modification, but it was a problem with the permissions.
lol guess i was the only one who needed this... ah well, if anyone needs it its here, hopefully people know how to use the search
lol...dont worry dude.. keep up the great work..!!
Thanks for this! Google are a bunch of tight ass losers for restricting access to Gmail...

No problem everyone, I will keep this thread updated with newer modified versions as Google releases them.
What do you mean when you say "mount read/write" in step 5?
Nevermind, I figured it out. Explorer didnt allow me to mount r/w or change permissions so I installed Root Explorer and worked it out.....much better file system explorer btw. Thanks for the tutorial.

It works, thanks.
Working, nice job man, thanks!
Cant get this to work with slidescreen, but it works with launcherPro :s
THanks for this, it's exactly what I've been looking for however I seem to get stuck doing the steps involving pasting into system/data basically nothing ever pastes there despite me setting the read write permissions as suggested. Guy who got slidescreen working using this how exactly did you go about it? exactly as described?
Thanks so much for this fantastic hack!
Mind letting us know exactly what you did?
I ask because I'm using I'm already using a modded themed apk, and obviously I can't use both at the same time.
Update: Feb. 26, 2013 - Added CM10.1 Email app (Email2.apk). Delete existing Exchange account off the device, flash Email2.apk zip (listed below), reboot, clear data on 'Email' and 'Exchange Services' apps, re-setup Exchange account on device. Exchange services may FC once or twice, but will then work fine and begin syncing email/contacts/calendars.
Update: Oct. 15, 2012 - Update Genie Widget to version from Google apps 10.11.2012 (v 4.1.2)
Update: Oct. 11, 2012 - Existing apps tested with CM10 10112012 M2 build, confirmed working. Also added CM10 Email app, and bumped Nova Launcher to current 1.3.1 build.
Here are a couple of CWM flashable apps for CM9/CM10 that I've put together. Each zip is configured with the addon.d backup and restore functionality so that the app is automatically backed up and restored as part of flashing a nightly build. No need to reinstall them every time.
Installation: Download the zip(s) to your phone, reboot into cwm recovery, flash one or more of the zip packages, and then reboot.
I'll add more if there are specific requests.

Nice work cschmitt. Is there any way you can do the same mod work to the actual clock application? Would be nice to have the Samsung alarm clock, stop watch and timer app.
Thanks.
The stock clock package has a bunch of touchwiz dependencies.

After posting on your thread I did more searching and found someone else already trying to do it. Yeah, it looks like it has deep ties into touchwiz. Oh well, one of the things to miss when going away from the samsung rom. I can find all of the functions scattered around the market and xda, but nobody does a real good job of building an all-in-on clock app. Found alarm clock ultra, probably the closest.
Thank you.

I love these and still use some of them. (The no security exchange is amazing)
Is there any need to update these for CM10? The email still works with the CM10 nightlies, I was just curious if there's a benefit to using the newer apk's
I saw a topic about how to remove the security settings, but making it flashable and having it restore after nightly updates is confusing me still
Thanks!

Like the Genie, your wish is my command...
Check the OP, added CM10 Email.apk from cm-10-20121011-EXPERIMENTAL-skyrocket-M2 build. Note that in CM10 only the Email.apk needed to be modified to disable Device Administrators, so Exchange2.apk wasn't touched.
Bumped Nova Launcher package to current 1.3.1 build.
The remaining apps in the OP function just fine in CM10.

I followed up by looking at the enabled device administrators section of security settings and sure enough email was listed in there. Does it show up but not take effect? The version I had previously on a 4.1.1 ROM worked and I never got prompted and it never showed up in the device administrators either.

There should be no entry for Email under Device Administrators.
I just tested this a couple of times this morning. Wiped the phone, flashed CM10.0.0, flashed cm-10-Email-4.1-nosec-cwm.zip, factory reset, reboot. (Not the it's necessary to wipe and factory reset, just wanted to ensure a clean slate for the test.)
Opened Email to configure exchange account, was prompted with 'Remote security administration', The server .... requires that you allow it to remotely control some security features...', clicked OK, but there was no second prompt to activate the Device Administrator and there is no Email configuration under Security -> Device administrators.
Just to be clear, if an exchange account is currently configured, it must first be deleted along with the corresponding Device Administration entry. Then flash cm-10-Email-4.1-nosec-cwm.zip, reboot, and re-configure the exchange account.

I'm still getting the Device Administrator prompt. This is the first time setting up the account on CM10 so it didn't exist previously. My process is, reboot into cwm, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, install cm-10-toro.zip, install gapps, reboot, setup gmail, install apps from play store, update apps (if necessary), reboot into cwm, flash cm-10-Email-4.1-nosec-cwm.zip, reboot, setup exchange and I still get the device admin prompt.
I went into root explorer and found that the date/time stamps for the email.apk and exchange.apk under /system/app looked to be from 2008 so it appears that they are not updating when the zip is flashed. Went ahead and manually copied the email.apk from the zip into /system/app and didn't get a device administrator prompt but the exchange service fc'd. I'm guessing it's because I don't have a corresponding exchange.apk. I thought of extracting the two apks from my old rom but that one was not built off aosp so I think the files are emailgoogle.apk and exchange2google.apk so I don't think those will work. Any other ideas?
Anything flashed while in recovery will have an 2008-08-01 file date.
I haven't tested it on anything other than a Skyrocket-- should work, but can't guarantee it and have no way to test on other hardware.
BTW, I've experienced the Exchange FC once or twice when initially syncing an exchange account, just re-opened Email after the FC and it worked fine.
Are you installing the appropriate gapps package first?
Wipe - install cm10 - install gapps - install this email zip
If you are copying the apks manually, you will just copy the email apk from the zip into system, then change permissions on the apk, and then clear data for email and exchange
I've run this package on both the gapps from July and the ones from October that rpr had in his nightly builds

Did this and it worked. For any newbies like me make sure you move the \system\app\email.apk to your root \system\app\ and replace the other one. After that make sure it has Owner Read/Write permissions, Group read, and Others read permissions. Then clear data and execute it from that folder to install.
Is the new camera working for anyone here?
I got the 4.3 camera/gallery apk from a few different sources and none of them complete the install process, they end with App not installed.
I'm using a 4.2.2 PA ROM and I'm allowing unknown sources. People with others phones have been saying it works. Someone I talked to said we may need a modified version of it for our build prop.
This was also happening with the Sunbeam live wallpaper from 4.3

I got the camera to work. I used ROM Toolbox Pro to delete the stock camera and gallery apps, copied the downloaded apk to /system/app and then set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooted. At least I think that should work, I did a bunch of different things (wrongly), but I just reflashed CM so I need to do it again. The menus in the app don't quite work right on some things from what I tried, specifically under the 'Scenes' option.

Thanks, that worked. I guess I didn't think of that because people were saying it just installed.
As for the scenes I think the icons are right but the words are wrong.
As far as the wallpaper goes, push it to /system/app using a root explorer, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Worked fine for me that way.

I found some direction on xda that went like this.
1. Rename old gallery2.apk to gallery2.apk.old.
2. Rename new camera apk to gallery2.apk and copy it to /system/app
3. Reboot
4. Install renamed new camera apk from original folder.
I tried flashing zip and pushing it to system/app but when I tried to edit a picture the gallery would crash. This way above didn't crash and everything worked with a few following exception. One thing I notice with the 4.3 camera is that when you use the video camera its zoomed in and pixelated. Another issue is when your in panorama mode and turn your phone to landscape or vise versa to portrait it crashes.

Apart from the scenes being labeled wrong I also found out today that going to photosphere mode crashes the app.
I'll try another method of installing.
It's pretty weird that someone I know installed it on an AT&T ROM with no trouble :/
I pulled the Camera (Camera2), Gallery (HMS_Gallery_GP) and Photo Editor (HMS_PhotoEnhancer_GP) apps from LlabTooFeR's A9 dump (link). I wanted to see if they'd work on my GPE-converted HTC One M8 running Android Marshmallow 6.0 (MRA58K).
Update: I've uploaded a new version that I hope works without needing to flash the APK afterwards. Additionally, at least for me, the Photo Editor is now working, including some of the Duo effects that haven't worked on my GPE for a long time. UFocus and Foregrounder don't appear to be working correctly, but at least they don't FC.
Flashable zip. I use TWRP2. Root is required.
Please note: It's been pointed out to me that the standard GPE image leaves very little space in the system partition. Not enough for the HTC apps, which are sort of large. If you're seeing that the zip isn't flashing correctly, please clear some space on your system partition (removing unwanted System G/Apps), before flashing.
Thanks to Arkaydez for some debugging.
Thanks to danial.aw for pointing out issues with GPE system partition size.
Post back with your experience. I'd like to know if it's working for everyone.

Thanks for giving it a try and feeding back. Feeling like helping me debug it?
Here's my experience when I flash it:
- When the phone restarts, there is a permission request waiting for the Gallery app.
- When you start the camera app, it requests three permissions.
- The applications and their associated libraries are installed to:
/system/priv-app/Camera2/
/system/priv-app/HMS_Gallery_GP/
/system/priv-app/HMS_PhotoEnhancer_GP/
Does your experience reflect that?
Thanks!
2 days ago I just downloaded this A9 camera from Google Play. It installed normally, for first run it asked for permission and work great. But every next open cause FC. Anyway, I think that original camera app from M8 is better, it is also to download from GP and doesn't FC.
I flashed the zip and Apps isnt shown in the menu. So I opened the zip and installed the apk's manually. Camera and Photo Editor gave FC. Gallery is opened but didnt show any pic.
Didnt work for me.

My rom is GPE Android 6.0 - Build MRA58K.H6

You can't install the apks manually, unfortunately. They need to go into priv-app, since they require system permissions. That's what's causing the FCs. If you've installed them, and they're sitting in /system/app, you can move them (root explorer, etc.) to /system/priv-app. Then at least the camera and gallery should work.

2 days ago I just downloaded this A9 camera from Google Play. It installed normally, for first run it asked for permission and work great. But every next open cause FC. Anyway, I think that original camera app from M8 is better, it is also to download from GP and doesn't FC.

Interesting. Unfortunately, for me, when I go to Google Play, it tells me that both versions of the HTC camera (Camera and Camera2) are incompatible with my phone and won't let me install. I assumed that's because it was a GPE. If you download and install from APK Mirror, or install it from the market somehow, I think that it puts the APKs and libraries into /system/app, which will cause it to FC. The camera assumes it's pre-installed into /system/priv-app, and is therefore entitled to system permissions. When it's installed to /system/app, it makes system storage calls, which aren't allowed, and FCs.
That's why I thought the flashable zip would be the way to go.
I was able to avoid all the FC's by 1st flashing your zip and then installing the a9 cam apk from apk mirror. b

Thanks for that. I had previously installed the APK from APK mirror, so maybe there's some secret sauce missing from the zip. Does the Photo Editor work for you now, or does it still FC?

How about slow motion video? Is it working?

hi...what i did was to push the latest camera downloaded from htc apk site, if i m not mistaken link was provided above, into /system/priv-app, and chmod folder to 755 n file to 644 n reboot. after rebootin, i open the camera but it FC. i reinstalled the same apk, n it works ok
I just installed the apk and it works for me
i installed the zip file .and then the file from apkmirror .The camera isn't FC-ing. but it doesn't save any picture when i take one. can it be due to converting my SD into internal ?
also, when i click "reset to default". it starts FC-ing

I'm not sure. Have you tried the new (v2) zip? Did it prompt you for permissions for storage? The camera should have prompted you for 4 permissions, and the gallery for 1.

No. Although I don't know why. I'll look into it.
working great but i guess camera from m8 is much better...maybe cause its designed for our ultrapixel camera....
How different is it from the Sense 7 version?
