Does anyone know how to update the gmail app to 2.2.1?
I tried using the one leaked on Incredible forum (link below) with no success
Tried extracting the gmail.apk from the zip file and using rootexplorer to replace but still loads gmail 2.2
I am running frf91 deodexed - Thanks!
Incredible forum: h##p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746644
Do you know what the difference is between 2.2 and 2.2.1?
I think it has been updated within the 2nd edition of the FRF91 gapps...
If so: http://bit.ly/aUA3mp

Looking inside the zip seems like gmail.apk is still ver 2.2
2.2.1 should be a bit smoother and reply floats and stays on top.

Thats where I got 2.2.1 from. Try that.

Perfect, thanks!
I had a noob moment (actually mostly a stupid moment)
I used root explorer to move gmail.apk from zip to system apps folder but never thought I actually need to install it.
I then installed it using astro and everything seems to be working.
Is it okay to do it that way? Can you just install it like normal apk from sdcard?
2.2.1 seems nice. The biggest difference is a large reply arrow on top. When you press it reply, reply all, forward scroll in. This is a bit nicer than before.
Thanks fir the help!
No problem,
As for installing from the sdcard, I dont think you'll have a problem.
I usually just adb push any system app.

Yes you do. But, you may want to try and extract Gmail.apk throw it on your SD card and install it. It should work.
For whoever wants the new version of gmail 2.2.1.apk
here is a link

Thanks!
Thanks guys! I was looking for this too!
Steve in CT
Has this gone OTA yet? Why wouldn't we get this?
Is this still in Beta or something? Is that why it hasn't been pushed out to 2.2 users? Or perhaps it's getting pushed to all NON-ROOT 2.2 users...?? IDK.
YES YES it worked perfectly, installed upgrade and now I'm playing with the big boys lol.... as this is official from Google themselves, how come were all having to get this from XDA and we didn't get this from Google themselves?? odd.. either way I'm happy I have it!! Thanks guys!!!
BTW where was this file acquired from?? A Froyo 2.2 rom from the nexus one?? If so that's odd b/c I just upgrade to Froyo on my EVO directly from Sprint/HTC. I'm running official stock Froyo that my EVO recieved OTA and I didn't get that GMAIL update....
Taken from an Incredible 2.2 ROM, I believe.

How stable is it and any ideas when it would be released officially? Will it be possible to roll back afterwards?
Seems as stable as the original client, and yes, you can roll back.
As for officially rolled out, who knows, if ever. Maybe it'll appear in the Market without telling anyone, like the improved search widget.
Still has the multiple account sync problem that was introduced in 2.2
does this work on galaxt s rooted android 2.1 ?
Just out of interest are any of the active members of this forum considering creating a custom rom for the 2X?
Hopefully, because this is a crappy system you get out of the box. To many running apps that takes to much ram and slows down the system. To many pre-installed apps. So i'm really looking forward to a custom ROM. Does any one know how custom ROMS are made?
Well i hope lots of Devs get this phone as it is quite the powerhouse! Man i wish i knew how to make custom ROMs! there should be a dummys guide!! haha but yeah ive heard Paul O'Brien at Modoco is thinking of getting one.... now thats what you call support

How do i disable them?
SuperOneClick v1.7 worked fine, so my phone is now rooted
U can delete the apps. (Backups)
Or just rename them change ****.apk to ****.bak for example. Dont know if this will restore on reboot.
Maybe someone else can answer to this. Perm or temproot?

You can use rootexplorer to remove or move apk from /system/app. Preloaded fsecure is slowing down the phone, just delete it.
To make custom rom we need clockwork mod recovery on 2X
I have used z4root, and installed Titanium Backup. Is there any danger to uninstalling apps that are pre-installed?

No, you can disable lg home launcher from “home selector“ in the main menu. i have ADWlauncher instead of lg launcher and i don't see lg launcher anymore in system processes

What do you mean by "home selector" in the main menu? I don't have my x2 yet, so I suppose it's something special by LG? I don't know this setting from my HTC.
I don't think this is classed as warez????
But if it is, please can someone let me know and i will immediately delete it.
My apologies if it is

Great idea, Tom, sometimes people go a little off topic in the development section, asking about very general stuff. Nice to have a more general thread and a more technical thread. ('course now I have another subscription to watch )

Well, Watsa was doing both. Both sides of the fence, if you will. Just that many more happy campers!
I just have to say....thank you thank you thank you.
This ROM is what the Captivate should have been the entire time. It took me awhile to get up to 2.3.5 with GB bootloaders and figure out how to flash it, but all of the info is there one the forums.
The SGS II email app alone made it worth it for me since I can now have my phone on WiFi and get my EAS email with zero problems. The stock 2.3.5 email app was still buggy for Exchange when WiFi was on and this fixed everything.
One question I have though. Can I pretty safely install each iteration of the Illuminance ROM over top of an older one? That is the only thing I was unable to find on the forums. I took the chance and installed 1.1 over top of 1.0.1 and have had no problems. I am just curious as to what is recommended.
Thank you again!
Anyone can make a non-transparent scroll down status(look like stock) for Illuminance v1.1 ROM?
The transparent one might get lag sometime... I am not sure why...?
First... Let me say that I am loving this ROM so far. I have not really been happy with any of the GB ROMS (Paragon RC6 on Froyo was my fav). Anyways, for some reason after flashing this ROM (coming from Obsession with Talon Kernel) I cannot get to me ext_sd card through CWM. From what I understand the CWM thing is part of the Kernel, so I downloaded the latest Samari 1.2 Kernel and flashed that. Still the same problem. Downloaded the Boog KJ3 Kernel and still the same problem. Any ideas what would cause this???
For the record my method for getting around not being able to access the external sd card is to put the files in the phone storage and flash from there.
TW4 for Illuminance
Anyway TW4 can be ported to Illuminance.

To answer your question, yes. You can safely install each iteration of this ROM over or on top of an older one. Right now, each is a full wipe version, meaning you'll have to redo all apps and stuff, but in the future IlluminatedOne said he'd be doing upgrade versions. We'll have to wait and see. Either way it's well worth any effort. This is a great ROM

Just for clarification... the internal 16GB sd card is called /sdcard. And the external sd card is found in the /sdcard folder and is called /external_sd. So is it the internal or external sd card that you're talking about?
Also when flashing anything CWM only allows you to go thru the sdcard (internal one), it says something like, 'install zip from sdcard', it will display the folder for your external sd card but won't let you install from there. That's why everything needs to be on the internal sd card before you try to install it. Hope this helps.
I got FC when I tried to use MiniPaper widget for the first time. And now when I try to open it, it won't open and I can't write anything. Only thing I can do is drag it and delete it. Any idea why?

I get the impression that TW4 doesn't work all that well with GB. For some it works better than others and that's why a lot of DEVs have switched back to TW3, much more stable and no FC's. If you want same look with more options you might try GoLauncher Ex with the TW theme.

I will not work on porting TW4, instead I will try to enhance TW3 included. If you want to try, you can try TW4 from Apex 10 thread. Better, try TW3 from Pinnacle for better appearance and a few functionaries from TW4.

Yes, same here. As I mentioned earlier, CWM will show the folder with the external sdcard but when you choose it, it just drops back to current internal sd card directory. I've never tried to install anything from my external card from this or any other rom/kernel, but I didn't think you could ever install from an external card. Always had to put it in root directory or at least a folder on the internal sdcard.

Email
Maybe a silly question, not even sure if it belongs here or general Q&A, but can't seem to find answer. In the Notification bar when I get an email, clicking on the pulldown and email, brings up the GMail view of my gmail account. There is also the stock GB email app, which I found I like the view much better. Is there any way to get the stock email view to come up when going thru the notification bar? Or would I have to delete my gmail app?
I apoligize if this is not really ROM related. But I trust you guys

Hey folks, this is my first time messing around with apks so I thought I'd share this.
After playing around with my mother's Transformer I became rather fond of the thumb scroller in the browser so I've taken it for myself.
Anyways, I know its not much but its a nice accessory to the browser - especially when up against long pages.
Be sure to keep copy your current browser in a safe place should something happen.
Here's the link
http://www.mediafire.com/?110eabgnidd9bdc
just installed this - working fine, and I like the thumb browser.
I have lost all my browser favourites.... which for some odd reason won't sync themselves back....
other than that, perfect.
That's odd, that was the first thing I double checked as I didn't want to lose my bookmarks. Being a Google sync thing I didn't think that should happen at all.
This Browser is pretty fast. Works fine here too, also no issues with my bookmarks! Thanks

Unfortunately, rubio, I'm not sure but looking it up I've found that if the name of the apk has changed that could cause it so make sure it says "browser.apk" and if you are installing it from your SD card make sure it's installing from the internal memory. I hope that helps.
