Gmail 4.2 Leaked
Gmail.apk from AndroidPolice
This thread might be duplicated, but instructions aren't.
Android police instructions are long and boring and doesn't work for me.
If you are having problems with others' instruction on the web, please follow my instructions below.
Instruction:
1. Download the apk from below or HERE.
2. Make a titanium backup of your Gmail App first.
3. If you are have your Gmail app installed in Data/App, Delete them first, if not skip this step. You won't lost your Gmail data, dont worry
4. Copy the Gmail.apk using any root explorer to System/App.
5. Reboot.
6. Launch the Gmail app, and your Gmail data will be still there.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
From MelvinChng

Be aware guys. I had posted about this new Gmail in the SGS3 forum and a mod shut it down because Google does not want it distributed. So get it while you can and keep a copy of the apk handy to share with ppl once they shut it down. PM ftw

Which ROM you are on ?
IF you are on cm9/cm10/AOKP/PA then you can flash Gapps in Recovery to have it back.

I tried downloading all the files but none works. It says something about parsing :S Please help!
no need to install it. just use root explorer and place the apk in data/apps and set permissions to rw-r--r--, then check the app drawer screen, there should be an icon for talk. try a reboot as well

To install an app the PlayStore wont let you install do the following (You will need at least one device compaible with the phone)
Install ESFile explorer on the Device with the working App.
Tap On App Manager then Select and HOLD the Application you want.
From the List Select Back-Up
Then Back out back to the first page, and find the Backup folder, and go into it, then into the Apps folder.
Your see the APK backed up.
Then Press and HOLD, and select SHARE.
Share the file to your DropBox
You can then grab the file on your PC and install anyway you see fit.
If you have Unknown sources ticked, you can also then open Dropbox on the Nexus 7, navigate to the folder you shared it to, and install it from there. (Simples)
You could also share the file Via Bluetooth, I have not tested to see if it will let you install the file, but I cant see why not) (Thanks for the idea Gogeta)
I installed and am now using BT Smart talk this way.
Hope this helped someone.
If you find a simpler way please post it.
If I managed to help, please say Thanks.

As Per Title, This is for files that PlayStore WON'T let you install. So no way to install it. The .APK may not be available elsewhere, like BT Smart Talk.

If you go to /system/data/apps all installed apps go in there, as far as i know. Is this what your trying to get? That way you can skip the backup and save any space that it takes up.

Or, you could use Quixer to send it straight over to the other device, no matter the distance. I like the Bluetooth idea as well though, that would be the easiest for single, close range sharing.

You should be rooted in order to access internal memory from your phone. Or use adb to pull the apk.
There's also lucky patcher but shouldn't share it in xda.

Download and install "Root Explorer" from the market. It defaults to the root directory. Just open up the app, find /data in the root directory, click on it, and then click /app. All your user downloaded and installed apps are there.

You have to use an app to change the DPI of the Gmail app so it will go into tablet mode. It will work for any app that has a tablet mode. Some ROMs, like Vanilla RootBox, has PA hybrid settings built in. That allows you to change DPI on a per app basis. If your ROM doesn't have hybrid settings you will need to download xposed. It can do the same thing and be installed on any ROM. Just so you know, you can install xposed on a Sense ROM and use it but I couldn't get anything to ever change to tablet mode. I don't think there is a tablet mode in Sense. Best to use an AOSP ROM. The problem is, I can't get it to work on the newest gmail update.

Hello guys,
I just got my Mate 8, Chinese version. I installed all the Google apps and logged in without too many difficulties, but when I want to sync all my contacts from Google account, I just can't get it to work! When trying to add a contacts account, there is no Google option, so I even tried to do it manually with a 'corporate' account, but it did not go through as well.
Any ideas on how to do it? I really like this phone, but I don't want to import all my contacts and not have them synced.
Finally got it fixed!
You should download googlecontactssync.apk move it to system/app set permissions and restart you device. Now you will have an option to sync your contacts in accounts under Google.
Hope the is will help others.
