Hi guys,
Atrackdog just gave me a new result for facebook apk, named 1.1.1 .. obviously it is not available on the market yet, but I remember the same thing happened with the 1.1.0 version "coming" from the droid...
Does anybody know where's this version coming from?

Maybe from the 2.0.1 update Verizon customers received.

Yes...that could be it...
I just wonder why in the world they don't release these updates in the market..they know they are working even on 1.5 or 1.6 devices...

They might know but that doesn't mean it has been officially tested and supported on 1.5/1.6. Those are two VERY different things.

hmmm wonder if anyone gonna post it

Yes! Great! Keep us updated then...! Thanks for that ;-)

Sounds like a sentence!
You're the man!

You can't use the normal one because it's ODEX'd.
I ran it through the deodex script -> Here is the new De-Odexed Facebook.apk (v1.1.1) View attachment Facebook.zip
RENAME IT FROM Facebook.zip to Facebook.apk (DON'T EXTRACT IT)
Now when you try to install it'll say it's not for this version of the phone. You're probably going to need to change your build.prop file to show SHOLES just like before the new Google Maps came out...

will that script work with any odex'd apk? For instance, I love the world clock from hero, but cannot stand the lag from the rom. would that work?
I used the terminal to install the app.
install /sdcard/backups/facebook.apk /system/sd/com.facebook.katana.apk
it didn't give me any errors, that should mean it work... right?
Well, I don't notice a difference, is there supposed to be one?

It works on some things... Like the MyFaves didn't work. It seemed to work on the facebook apk. I pushed it also into the /system/app but it won't show in the apps dropdown. I then tried to place on the sdcard and install with App Manager but it says "not for this phone" or something like that. Might have to change the build.prop to show the SHOLES keys instead. But it looks like the APK itself is ok.

Did you get this working on your phone ...... ? ...... also changing the build prop to sholes .. what kind of effect will that have on other apk either currently running or installed later

Is this different to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582302 ?

this one is the new facebook apk 1.1.1 ..pulled from the new droid update verzion just sent out .. however it wont install ..... ( at the moment )

Anybody being able to install this on a magic/dream then..?

I keep getting the same error "cannot install app on this phone" i guess for now I will stick with version 1.1.0....hopefully someone will find a fix for 1.1.1

The g1 has incorrect testkeys for 2.0 apps. You will have to edit the build.trout.prop, as was needed to get navigation to work. I do not know what other problems will come from doing this though. For me, even with replacing to old build.trout.prop, and erasing all traces of maps, I could not download the new version from the market without a wipe.

so i guess for now there is now "easy" install on a Mytouch/Magic for version 1.1.1 as it was for version 1.1.0.........

Is it even worth installing? Other than the extra ".1", does this version have anything we might want over 1.1.0?

Question about Gmail App in Froyo

In froyo, I heard that the gmail app has new options based on different file type attachments. for example, if its an apk attached to the email then theres the option to install. is this true?

Yes. It was a surprise to me! I love it.

Even better - they added text selection, copying and changing a forwarded / replied email.

how come when I send myself an email with an apk attached, the only option I get is 'preview'
anyone know whats wrong?

does the file name end in .apk and isn't zipped?

Yeah it was a great feature they added. Pretty surprised.

I removed the gmail apk because it didn't make sense having email & gmail, so I synced my gmail in the email app so I can manage all my accounts at once. After reading your thread I pushed it back and sent myself a apk file, and it displayed a install button, when I viewed the same message in the email app, it only gave the option to view, and it would'nt view the file. But you can install apk files from your gmail app. That's why I read the forums, always learning something new about my wonderful phone. Thanks

you need to update your google apps. cm doesnt include them. use the one imfloflo posted in the CM nightly thread

I have updated to the latest gapps, I flashed the one cyan posted on the official cm6-rc1 thread and Im assuming the gapps link in the nightly thread and the official cm6 thread are the same. I know gmail is updated because when I send a picture attachment to myself, there is a "download" and "preview button. It just seems like it wont play nice with apk attachments.
Also another question, when using the "download" in gmail for pictures, do your downloaded files get renamed to downloadfile.jpeg?

Yeah, and my attached APKs get saved as "downloadfile.apk".

UPDATED gapps-mdpi [20th oct]

Google Apps
aka gapps are the android applications written and maintained by Google Inc.
This software for Android is closed-source (so devs don't like include them in their own roms).
What's the latest version?
The latest version is: 20101020 (20th oct).
New update: mdpi-20101225 (GingerBread supported) thanks arco68
Which version of Android OS are 'em written for?
GApps follow the android upgrades, latest versions are written for Android 2.2 (Froyo).
If you run Android 2.1 (Eclair), you should install ERE36B; previous versions (1.5/1.6) can run this: DRC83 (Must be flashed before the ROM). NOT TESTED YET
After installing ERE36B or DRC83 you should be able to update some app (like maps) from the market.
If you have a donut/eclair rooted phone, google could send you a market update (vers. 2007) remove update from "settings" because it's a froyo version and will never work fine.
Why mdpi?
There are 3 kind of density: high (hdpi, like passion), medium (like Dream/Sapphire) and low (our phone).
Sadly doesn't exist a ldpi pack, but mdpi should works fine..
Where is the Android Market? Is it patched?
The Android Market (Vending.apk) is as it comes from BigG, not a patched version.
How to install?
1)Download this package:
* 20101020 (16,7MB)
md5sum: a5571643a90e265527add455e7da9486
What does it contain?

HtcCopyright.apk
MediaUploader.apk
Talk.apk
CarHomeLauncher.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
HtcEmailPolicy.apk
NetworkLocation.apk

Street.apk
-or-
* tiny-20101020 (7,4MB)
md5sum: bf7b653a4320dc33b15ad945a41cd56c
It's smaller because doesn't contain:
CarHomeGoogle.apk
CarHomeLauncher.apk
Twitter.apk
Facebook.apk
PassionQuickOffice.apk
Maps.apk
googlevoice.apk
2) copy it into the sd card
3) reboot in recovery
4) flash it like a rom
I decided to open a thread where mirror them and try to answer to common questions.
Good ideas or suggestions will be appreciated...

I also always install and run bruts version since it allows google navigation to work on whole planet...very usefull for us living in countries still not covered, it also enables cashing GoogleMaps tiles on your sd card...

maybe a good idea, cos it is my experience that many people, from this or that reason finds older versions, or particular version of much more use then the current/most updated once (F.E. I remember reading that a number of users found "ChromeToPhone working & useful). Just imagine how much android market would be enhanced if you would be offered a choice of what version of app. you want, not only the newest one...
with hope that this thread could evolve into something...Great?

I flashed these apps and now my market doesn't work anymore.
I can search for apps, view their description, but download/update does not start.
Progressbar appears and after a minute, "download unsuccessful" appears..
I use SPQRom 0.5 and market did work before I flash these gapps.
Any Help?

Still no gapps

[Q] Market thinks my Hero is not compatible with apps

I installed CM 7.0.3 last Friday, I'm beginning to see more and more apps that say "installed" (from earlier) but trying to re-push them to my phone they now grey out my HTC Hero on Sprint saying the device isn't compatible.
I have the feeling this is an issue of the market assuming my HTC is stock and the newest builds of the apps are not compatible. Is there a way to indicate I'm using Android 2.3.3 so I can have Google Maps back?
I was able to get my Google Music beta as a .apk from someone and it installed fine manually and works great but was another just as above that wouldn't work through the market.

Hey I am having the same problem with the market not recognizing my hero. I am actually just looking for the google music beta app, =P so if you had a link I would appreciate that vmuch.

Look here

There is a copy of the music.apk but I believe you need to have the invite from Google Music Beta first before it will work. I had mine, loaded on PC went to my phone and was as I described above. Got the file from someone and loaded logged in and it works perfectly.
Thank you, I will try the links above

I would say that yes, that is affecting me, but I can't be the only one with a handset that wasn't designed to be running Gingerbread but is obviously compatible.
With all of the ROM community support of aging devices seems there must be a work around for this that is going to start to become a larger problem.
Making sure I make backups of my apps from now on seperately from my CWM recovery backups.

To get Google Music from the market, you have to edit your build.prop file. The instructions are in another thread. A simple search will find it.

change your buid.prop to say device is a "DROIDX", & youll have access to even more apps, & the google music app is in the cdma hero section for download, use the search

just cnanging the banner to droid x wont do it the apps that arnt available for are made for hdpi devices and tablets so when u try and instsall them itll say parse error

In your build.prop located in /system change your ro.opengles.version value from 65536 to 131072. So your end product looks like this: ro.opengles.version=131072

Can you edit that file with an app, or do you need to use adb? I tried using es file explorer but no dice, it's probably in use by the system eh?
Edit: forgot to enable root permissions for it...derp.

[q] How to remove Google and Google+

Hi, I have one question about Google and Google+. How to remove the files in our custom rom before flashing the rom? Ya, we can delete it using root explorer but I love to know which apk/files contain the twos apks. Thank's.

Google+ isn't necessarily an apk in the gapps package so google+ won't be there in the custom ROMs and I'm not sure if Google Now is a thing that can be removed as it is an exclusive feature of Android 4.1+ . Not sure though. :|

afair Google Now gets active only after you log in to your Google account from Google Search, logging get out brings the Search back

He wants to disable google search, i don't see any way to do that except not flashing gapps at all which isn't desirable. I'd be glad if you can help him disable google search if possible.

If it is a TW ROM then just pull the apk's out of system/preload...

I guess it all depends on the ROM - I have two different devices, on one the Search is a system app (system/app/Velvet.apk), on other it was installed via Play market (data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.apk).
Generally if the apk resides in zip file, it can be removed before flashing (I usually clean ROMs from all apps I don't need on my PC using WinRar), the only problem could be finding name of the apk file to remove.

Yes you're right, the name of the app is where the problem resides as I did check the frameworks folder of the ROM. It's ROM specific isn't it, and tampering with an app like google search can surely cause some unforeseen errors too. I don't see any reason why google search has become such an undesirable app for the poster!

Not sure how it works for stock-based ROMs, on my N7000 I have Slimbean, which comes without Search - it can be installed from the Market separately if someone needs it
Sent from my GT-N5100 using xda premium

Slimbean has gapps of its own, customised for the ROM which are available on their site. The gapps on goo.im which are prescribed by some other ROMs come with the feature of google-search.

in this case it should be enough to remove "QuickSearchBox.apk" from the zip file before flashing

This removes Google search altogether or just the search box on the home screens which cannot be gotten away from the settings options in certain ROMs?
