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

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".

Anyone have a APK for the AOSP browser?

I'm looking for the stock AOSP browser. I am on Bamf 1.5. I like it better then the HTC browser. Thanks in advance!

Id love this too

I'm gonna bump it even though I'm pretty sure the app won't work, I was gonna download an aosp rom such as cm7 but for some reason I can't find pdanet in the market on bamf 1.5 and I can't stand wireless tether and I don't have internet at my house. Guess I'll try downloading the rom on my phone and I'll be sure to let you know if the aosp internet app works

Wisenick look online for pdanet. Carriers are blocking tethering apps on the market.
Check out the link:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/04/29/carrier-crackdown-tethering-apps-are-being-blocked-in-the-android-market/

I think you can still sideload it.
I also want the ASOP Browser.

Alright I was able to get it to work, heres how:
Download this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16901155/apps/Browser.apk
Now I saved it to my phones SDcard.
I then use File Expert from the market to copy it to /system/app overwriting the old on. File Expert is able to do Root. Press menu > more > mount ReadWrite when your in system/app. Now paste it.
Next I tried opening it and got a force close. I ran fix permissions in clockwork and rebooted.
Works fine now.

I know this is old but thank god I found this thread!!!! I HATE the sense browser with a passion!!! I am so happy to have the AOSP browser now!

Does anyone have a copy of the latest AOSP Browser? The version in this thread appears to be old and lacking a few key features.

[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
http://top10.com/mobilephones/news/2011/06/android_market_gets_device_compatibility_list/
Or here
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-20070438-251.html
Might be what's effecting you. ""Might""
#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*

https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D6831115_657_64188365
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.

VVM/My Verizon/Flash 10.2 all for GB (Updated 7/20)

OK, so I'm putting these up all in one place. This way you can stop asking for them in various threads. I'll add others as I discover need to add them.
My Verizon only works on VZW based ROMs.
6/27 Only works with PlainJane v3 AFAIK 6/27. GB ROMs will need to wait for a new base leak most likely.
6/30 Update - Older version works again. Download MyVerizon.apk for the older version that works on most newer ROMs. the com.vzw.hss.myverizon-1.apk will only work on the MR2 based ROMs.
VVM (visual voicemail) - Works on all versions of everything as far as I know. It also fixes the notification issues that people are having with voicemails on bamf roms. (your account must have it enabled for it to work, $3 a month.) - Apparently doesn't work with the Thunderstick ROM or CM7 1.2. Not sure what got changed in this most current build, but it definitely broke VVM. Thunderstick has some conflicting files baked in that break it.
Flash 10.2 edited for use with hulu.com as well. If you don't use it for hulu you won't see any difference. CM7 users rejoice? Just make sure you don't accidentally update it via market or you'll lose in browser flash video again and need to re-install this.
If you're having issues with a particular file, please post what ROM you're running. I'm trying to narrow down possible culprit ROMs.
If these files help you, don't forget about the "Thanks" button
Enjoy.
6/25 - Re-uploaded VVM.apk since a couple people seem to be having issues with it. I even deleted it off my phone and re-downloaded it via this attachment to check to make sure it went through properly. Since there are only the 2 people commenting that it didn't work out of 100+ downloads of the file, I'm going to assume that something happened on your end not mine (make sure you have unknown sources checked in your application settings and/or re-download?), but re-uploaded and tested nonetheless.
6/26 - Had to pull My Verizon due to an update today that breaks it for us. No current working version known for Thunderbolt.
6/27 - Ok, so the structure is there in the MR2 froyo update (plainjane v3) so I'm putting the current apk up. I need to figure out what i need to strip out of MR2 to make it work for other ROMs.
6/29 - Added Skype
6/30 - Changed Skype File location to Fyels.com for more bandwidth.
6/30 - Re-Posted the older My Verizon APK. No idea what VZW is up to on their end, but it no longer prompts for update locking us out. We'll see how long that lasts.
7/5 - Fixed Broken link for skype. Added bold text to netflix description to make it more obvious that it doesn't work on unrooted/froyo phones...
7/8 - Added Flash 10.2 (is also edited for use with hulu.com) for CM7 users.
7/20 - Removed netflix. It is now natively supported.
7/20 - Updated VVM to newer build version.
8/5 - Removed skype. Natively supported.

Good post. Good idea.

My Verizon app not working on my stock T- bolt. Pop up says not supported on this device. Did you mean all *rooted* Verizon based ROMs?

This is great, and I'ma let you finish.... but where's the Hulu+? #kanyeshrug

Hulu plus is not currently supported on the tbolt (hence i won't put it in the op til then). If you want to mess with it, here's the apk. You can manage queues etc but you cannot play video. You will get a "device not supported yet" type error. You may be able to edit the build.prop to get it running by tricking it into thinking you have a different (supported) device but the idea to this thread is to not hack/edit things to get them working.

I had my concerns, but my Lookout Mobile gave it a thumbs-up, and it seems to work as it's supposed to. But thanks for the warning.

Tried installing vvm but no dice...tried installing as a apk tried dropping in system app tried renaming it. all I get is app not installed do I need to change permissions?

Anyone have luck with the VVM APK? Can't get it to install at all. Using BAMF 2.1. Tried a straight APK install and just dropping it into the sytem/app folder via root explorer.

And yes, I did change permissions. Would really love to get this working, as I have to use VZW VVM for work. Thanks.

All I do is install it like anything else. Looks like this.
Make sure you have unknown sources checked. I'll reupload it when I get home if people are still having issues. I've installed it on every version of bamf that didn't include integrated Vvm and cm7.

I am very happy that this is thread came out cuz I've been tryin to leave Froyo but those 3 major apps were an issue w/GB and it looks like no more issues. Am on the latest Gingeritis and all those apps work anyway so I'll cnfirm the truth about this thread once I decide to test the other GB roms again. Great thread though OP. Much props to you. If you can somehow make the HTC messaging widget bug leave GB as well, You'd be even more of a hero

When I try to launch the My Verizon app on Bamf 3.0 RC3 it says there is an updated version of the My Verizon app in the market. If I select upgrade, it launches the market, but can not find the app. If I select cancel, it closes the My Verizon app. Is anyone else having this problem?

[GUIDE] Install Google Wallet on any Device and ALL Countries

******THIS IS FOR THE NEWEST GOOGLE WALLET (1.5-R79-v5), BUT THE METHOD IS THE SAME, JUST LINKS HAVE BEEN UPDATED******
******ALL CREDIT GOES TO b-reezy FOR HIS POST!******
EDIT August 8, 2012: The Guide has been edited for the new Google Wallet (Wallet-in-the Cloud, 1.5-R75-v6), this guide will hopefully (I'll try my best!) continue to update as Google Wallet updates
EDIT September 19, 2012: This Guide has been updated (links, etc.) for the latest Google Wallet, 1.5-R79-v5.

*Note: This guide must be used at your OWN risk, although it has safely worked fine on different devices, I cannot guarantee this will work for you 100%*​
*Please note: The supplied APK may have issues/errors, so please make sure to reset Google Wallet through the app itself (NOT the Settings app!) and then delete to clear the chance of any errors!*
I have typed up this guide from all the information I have gathered and I credit all those who I have gathered my info from, thank you contributors. Anyway, here is a quick and easy tutorial on installing Google Wallet on ALL devices with NFC in ALL countries, but it requires root, so I have supplied a very easy tutorial down below on root your Device. If you're already rooted then just move the files accordingly.
1) Have root, here are some recommended easy tutorials:
Root Method (always Up-to-date): http://goo.gl/r4GSZ
---------------------------------
2) Grab all the necessary files and put them anywhere on your phone (just remember where you put it, you'll need them later!) and here are the links, again, all credit goes to the original uploaders:
XDA Thread for the Gingerbread Method (Nexus S) - http://goo.gl/1uNIi
XDA for Google Wallet Patched APK for 4.x+ (may work for older updates) - http://d-h.st/VZi
If none of those Google Wallet files don't work, try this.
***Nexus S Gingerbread users WILL need the "NFC Fix" file from the XDA thread right above here). Also, ONLY 4.x+ user should continue with the rest of this tutorial, use the XDA Method link above to install on Gingerbread!***​---------------------------------
3) [*REMEMBER*]: ONLY 4.x+ user should continue, 2.3 users should use the XDA Method link above] Use a root browser like "Root Browser Lite" (http://goo.gl/5XSB6) to transfer the files. Move the patched APK (found above) to the following TWO (2) locations (the same file, copied to TWO (2) locations):
[root]/data/app
and
[root]/system/app
---------------------------------
4) Now, change the permissions of the file in BOTH LOCATIONS to: xx-x--x-- A.K.A. rw-r--r--
---------------------------------
F.A.Q.
I can't find Google Wallet in the app drawer!
You need to defrost the Patched apk with Titanium Backup, but unfortunately you have to do it every reboot, but hey, it's a small price to pay for have Wallet in other countries!
To activate Google Prepaid Cards if they're still not working:
Using a file explorer (Like Root Browser Lite) Go to [root]/system/build.prop (the file)
---------------------------------
Find the lines that say:
ro.product.device
ro.product.name
---------------------------------
Change both of those lines to: htc_jewel and save.
---------------------------------
Reboot your phone, and try to activate prepaid card again. (Thanks to Roscopcoletrain, jayjay3333 and guitaristgba247 for the answer!)
OR
If you have a phone with a broken IMEI code, you won't be able to use Google Wallet on that phone, unfortunately.
How do users outside of the USA top up?
Visit the following sites here to get your prepaid card:
http://www.buyfrompowerseller.com/unblock-us-prepaid-card/ (Verified, safe, tested by me)
http://luckygiftcard.com/products.php?product=TrusstPay-Virtual-Visa
http://www.fortune51.com/aff/products/details/11/10-Preloaded-Virtual-Credit-Card-Reloadable
You may receive an e-mail with a link to register the card to a USA Address, make sure it's in a state like Delaware (any address in there, for example), because there is no state tax. If you'd like, you can even add it as it's own card itself rather than topping it up on the Google Card
OR
You can buy a Vanilla Prepaid MasterCard or Visa Prepaid Card and register with a USA address, then, go to the Google Wallet website, sign in, and add the card from there. Go to your phone, open Wallet, and match the information you entered online. You should now be able to use your card error-free!
How do I register my card with a USA Address?
Simply go to this website here and enter the information. The website is safe, I have tested it. When registering the card with a USA address, make sure you use a Delaware or Oregon address, as those states don't have state tax. I'm not going to post an address here, as I don't want to get sued, but a quick Google Maps search should give something!
The app is staying at the account setup up screen and just attempts endlessly to activate my Google account!
This is because phones like the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S2 phones are missing the secure library files needed to run Google Wallet, it stays stuck on the activating account screen, this has been test and confirmed, sorry! Hopefully in the future this is solved! (^^^If you're running CyanogenMod 10, try the solution above^^^)
100% Tested ROMs and Phones:

Are you rooted? Well probably, but did you go through ALL the instructions thoroughly? One solution could be that you have to hit "install" in your root browser on the one in system/app (try the one in data/app too)

*you do NOT "install" the app, you simply move the apk to two locations* Did you guys both move the stock one to another folder? Put the PATCHED apk in BOTH locations (/system/app AND /data/app)? Did you also set permissions for the apk in BOTH file locations? Finally, did you guys remove the data from the stock Wallet app (if you had the stock one installed prior) and then uninstall it or move the apk? Make sure that you AT LEAST put the apk in /system/app. Good luck you two, best of luck.

thnx for the response dude , I did push the apk to both locations and reset my phone didnt show up in app drawer for me if i can figure it out will let you know im on CM10 if that helps anyone

I think it does have to do with CM10, its still in Alpha, so bugs and stuff are a big factor. Then again, I'm no super-developer, so I can't be sure. I'm running stock rooted 4.1.1 Jelly Bean...

you need to use titanium backup to defrost the app.

Hello sir! Could I possibly use our answer in an FAQ?

Are you rooted? Well probably, but did you go through ALL the instructions thoroughly? One solution could be that you have to hit "install" in your root browser on the one in system/app (try the one in data/app too)

Awesome! Glad to know it's working! Time to go to McDonalds

Is there any fix for the 'Secure Element has stopped responding' error ?

What about unrooted i9023?

Unfortunately no, because the parts of the phone that you have to access are not accessible without superuser permissions. But I'm assuming you are on ICS or JB so you can check out an easy tutorial in my post on page one. Best of luck!

Well, if you can access your previous Google Wallet from a nandroid backup you can fix it, but in unfortunately you cannot because you HAVE TO reset Google Wallet from the app and then move on to install it some other time. I'm sorry.

Don't forget you will need to do this after EVERY reboot. Annoying but for a working Wallet in Canada I can't complain. Might as well defrost Google Sound Search while your there, although we can't buy the music.
What is the easiest method to add funds to the Google card? On the new app it shows my current credit but wants a US address. I don't want to lie and mess that all up.
Cheers.

Here in the States, they sell a Google gift card. It's probably not available in Canada, but perhaps someone could buy it for you. If it's like other top up cards, all you need is the secret numbers from an activated card.

Well I used a website here: http://www.buyfrompowerseller.com/unblock-us-prepaid-card/ It's a great website that let's you purchase MasterCard Prepaid gift cards, but they can be a little expensive, I got a $15 card for about $22 (after taxes and fees). After purchase, you will get an e-mail with a link that you can register the gift card with an address that has no state taxes, like Delaware, the state I registered an address with. I have not tried it yet, but going to the States in two weeks and gonna try it there. But good luck!
