Gmail.apk from LG Nexus available for DOWNLOAD- Cool new features.

Android Police have reportedly got the latest gmail.apk ripped from a LG Nexus, with cool new features like pinch to zoom and swipe to remove.
The version # is 4.2, so it looks like we will receive another software update from Google before long. Damn Google is hot at the moment:cyclops:

Awesome! Although I don't delete my emails, the pinch to zoom is awesome.

The title is misleading because it isn't leaked but rather previewed.
If it was leaked, there would be a download link to the apk file....

Kinda see your point, the apk was leaked but not to the general public. The author mentioned that they was a possibility (slight) that their source would allow then to distribute the apk. Hope I didn't get your hopes up:angel:
Can a mod please change the title to "Updated Gmail,apk previewed from LG Nexus."

That should be everything new in the next version of Gmail. And, oh, we've got some good news! We've gotten permission to release the Gmail 4.2 APK. That will happen sometime today. Stay tuned!

In addition to point #6 Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned. from Android Police's installation guide, I would also boot into Recovey and wipe the Davlik Cache, to ensure there is no old data that could mess things up.
I have now installed it on my stock 4.1.2, it really is a big improvement in functionality, feels far more intuitive

Nice, this will be good.

Just curious, why is this device getting the latest gmail prior to the nexus 7?

look forward to the new features, but I am sad this doesn't offer anything from the Sparrow purchase.

This was an unofficial leak of the LG Nexus's ROM from a source know to Android Police, not approved by Google.

Never used Sparrow, what are its strong points over Gmail?

I like it.. One oddity though.
In the menu when composing they have
Attach Picture
Attach Video
I don't understand the useless redundancy here.. "Attach File" makes more sense then splitting it up and making it look like you can only attach pictures or videos.

Am I the only one who can't seem to install it? Every time I try, it says could not be installed. I even uninstalled the old version. Unknown sources is checked. I'm on PA 2.2.
Edit: rebooted, cleared cache/dalvik. All good now.

Yes I noticed that.
It didn't actually prevent a non-Picture file being attached and sent though (I attached and sent the gmail2.apk).

Tablet UI for AOSP/CM10.1 discussion

XDA member AuxLV is working on an app called Tabletizer. It's an apk that does the conversion by creating a flashable zip file on your device which you then flash in the recovery.
[APP] Tabletizer Alpha 4 (2013.03.02)
I've tried this one and it works well.
There are some other roms/patches that do have a Tablet UI option:
[PATCH] True Tablet UI (Apps+GUI) w/o DPI Change for Stock & CM10 - Update Oct11
[ROM][WIFI][CM10.1][Feb27] BeatMod CrystalClear v2.1 | Aroma | TabletUI | Sound Mods
PARANOIDANDROID 3.0 (4.2.2) | Only Rom on Android capable of Hybrid mode
Please add links to other solutions and projects or status updates, and keep general talk about TabletUI in this thread unless new a new one is created.

I updated my G+ with current status.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

I am very interested in this as my posts in the CM 10.1 "official" thread should have made clear, but being as I'm not a developer I can't do much but sit around and hope someone with more talent than I have is capable of making it a reality. I understand that Google has decided to "move on" and just flat out give up on the tablet UI - which is odd considering it's a tablet device we're using with the Nexus 7 and not a damned phone, even so - but that's their prerogative I suppose.
For the moment I'll use Paranoid Android 3.0 when aaron is able to get a 4.2.2 build out, he's currently working on it as noted in his thread last night but it's not available just yet. I was using PA 3.0 with 4.2.1 and found it very useful for many reasons, the tablet UI functionality being the primary one.
The Nexus 7 I have is actually damaged (hence it being a $25 craigslist special) with a crack in the upper right hand corner where the previous owner had dropped it - there's a triangular area in the upper right hand side that doesn't respond to touch anymore, kinda funky how it lines up but, with PA and that tablet UI functionality it's not a real issue because I can hold the menu soft key and it'll bring up the settings for any given app anyway.
If I have to choose a specific ROM I tend to go back to "pure" CM whenever possible so, if someone can actually get the tablet UI functional in 10.1 (based on 4.2.2 at this point) I'm all for it. If not, then PA will fill the ROM role for me.
I remember seeing them introduce Honeycomb and was blown away with the interface layout and the functionality, and now they've basically just swept all that out like yesterday's garbage and I really wish I knew why. It's like seeing demos of versions of Windows that never end up being actually made into workable products - there are videos on YouTube of test versions of Windows Longhorn which was scrapped and then reborn as Vista and some of the stuff they do in those Longhorn videos is beyond cool, seriously.
Android showed some "beyond cool" capability with Honeycomb and a proper tablet UI, now it's like that stuff was a mistake or something and I completely disagree on that respect. But then again, I do understand Google's attempts at unifying the Android interface across all devices instead of having something for phones and then something for tablets, what now with ChromeOS trying to gain traction as well.
Suffice to say if someone can make it possible with CM then fantastic, if not then I'll make do with whatever I suppose. Would be nice, however...

I just want to make sure my app is of top quality, I failed two updates for LagFix when I wanted to make them quick, that will never happen again.

My hero!!!!

Well done on alot of good work.
I will have to be honest that I like the quick settings menu in combo with the notifications drop down. And I like the way the navigation bar is by default.
But the thing I like about the Honeycomb style ui is the settings menu. I guess compared to stock Jellybean, that might be the only thing I like alot (Just to be clear, I did not dislike other aspects). The Honeycomb notifications tray just seemed to add additional screen pressed for functions now contained within the quick settings menu.
But, still. Good job changing the ui. Its not an easy thing to do. I tried to do some changes for personal use, and seemingly small changes completely crash the system to an unusable state.

Hey aux, where will you be posting this app? Id love to test it

First alpha as promised!
Before using: BACK UP!!!
Using:
Launch app
Click "Run tabletizer"
Wait for a few minutes
It will create update.zip file in /sdcard/data/tabletizer/temp
Flash this update.zip from CWM/TWRP recovery
Reboot
App is quite unstable at the moment, because recompilation process eats a lot of RAM and it crashes often when runs out of memory. I'm rewritting smali tool to be more friendly, but it will take some time to finish.

Thank you for your app! I ran the apk, it started the process and got to these last 3 lines:
Services are patched!
Can not recompile.
Compilation exception.
Now it hasn't done anything for 10 minutes. I'll wait a bit longer and try again.

Yep, it does not work, another bug Don't wait, close it. Thanks for report. Will try to figure it out tommorow, it's 23:50 already here and I want to sleep
But at least I've found a way to deal with RAM. A temporary fix which will do for alpha.

ZOE...or how to use it

Hello guys,
I tried to use ZOE. It was great, worked just fine. 3 sec video as advertised.
Then, I wanted to select the elements it would show...and problem began.
I only wanted the videos to be shown, and in a particular order (I was making a pizza in case you were wondering). And it ended with me putting the pizza in the oven first, then next was me using the flour...so kind of not what I was looking for. At all.
And I couldn't figure for the life of me how to have this stupid thing work the way I wanted it be.
Can you guys help out ? I also find the gallery very disturbing to use. How do you create an event ?
Thanks

I believe there is a bug in video highlights that it ignores what you select and will playback whatever is in that folder randomly. Right now to get it to only play what you want is to create a new event I believe by using the move option in the gallery to split just the zoes you want to a new event.
There are some YouTube vids that show this.
Hope thus helps.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Thanks. I'm glad it's a bug and I'm not alone.
Do you know by any chance how I could arrange the video to be played in a specific order ?

I've found even after moving the zoes I want to a new folder to become a video highlight, it will still make that video random. Still no way to put them in order.

Did I read this article correctly? It says we had 9.15GB of initial storage space out of the 16GB. So after the firmware update were given 9.23GB. So I'm doing my math correctly here? 9.23-9.15
iF so then we're really not getting any space back.
Thoughts?

I think that they are saying the we will get 9.23 out of the 16GB vs. the ~7 we get now.

Adding a macro preset would have been nice too.

you arent going to just magically get 7 gigs of storage back, the space is taken up and thats all there is to it, the update is giving back about 300 MB's but the big deal is you can now move apps to sdcard (yay a new feature from 2.2!)

Not giving choice of "Just Once" and "Always"

As the title said, the phone doesn't give me the choice of always or just once, there's only a menu and I can click the app that automatically becomes the "default" app... It sucks as I need to save a pdf from Outlook to One Drive to then open it in write pdf but it won't since one drive is the default app and I don't get the choice...
How do I fix that??

Experiencing the same.. Any fix? And the menu button [(long-press) back button] sometimes doesn't work well.

I may be wrong here, but this may be a feature of Lolipop. In other words, we're not given the choice each time like its previous iterations...

I don't think you can "fix" it but you can undo the default by going to settings then applications then going into default applications and clearing that apps default.

I hate this "feature" depending on what I am doing I always want to use different apps to open files. Come on Samsung (or Google) fix this. I think it is Samsung as I had a G4 and had the option on my G4

Kinda fixed it by using Better Open With from the play store...

I got the 5.1.1 s6 edge update just this morning and it didnt give me a choice, just chose a permanent option just like on note 5 that i got this afternoon. You can always reset defaults, but once you open a link in an app with a specific app, dont you want to keep that choice for the future? I don't mind the change

This is frustrating! I'm going to check out that app. I'm commenting to be a part of this thread for future fixes.

The problem in note 5 . I have note 4 with lollipop 5.1.1 and has no problem
I hate the disappearance of (just once and always) option that i used frequently, hope to fix it in next update

You can go into default apps and clear it. Then choose your app when you open that file. Or, use ES File Explorer to open as. There's no problem with the phone. There cut out unnecessary crap, which I think is better. That screen would always come up and piss people off. Haha.

There's no fix for this, at least for now, I talked with Samsung Customer support they did like that to "please their customers" (I don't understand); it's not a lollipop issue, other models like core prime and others with 5.1.1 still ask always or just once, it's really frustrating, but even more frustrating is to find people out there that is happy with this change, ''unnecessary crap'' they call it, since they do not know how to use their phones looks like they want everybody else to suffer, it's so simple if you do not like it! just click ALWAYS and leave the rest of the people that use their phones for more than just calls, chat and listen to music to keep using our amazing JUST ONCE and let us be happy!!!!, what else we will have to take from Samsung?
NO SD CARD SWAP
NO WATER PROOF
NO BATTERY SWAP
COPYCAT DESIGN
EAR PHONES PLUG AT THE BOTTOM
AND NOW THEY TOOK OUR OPTION TO CHOOSE!!!!
this company it's going backwards or what?

this happened on my note 4 as well with 5.1.1.
the change was completely unnecessary, as people could just click "always" if they wanted. why remove the option?
but for those of us who open diff links in diff apps depending on the context. we are screwed?
has anyone found a fix?

Don't be selfish

Don't call unnecessary crap to such a smart option just because you only use your cellphone just for chat and Facebook navigation, it's very simple, it's just two options and by simply clicking ALWAYS!!! you can be happy! and leave the rest of us, those who really use our cellphones as smart devices enjoy our freedom to CHOSE!!! and let us be happy with our choice that we miss so much ''JUST ONCE''.

You shouldn't give useless advises, I would if I could, first I have to wait up to 6 months for another swap and second I can't sell it for the price that I paid for the phone which it's dropping very quickly.
Luckily it's not all over and this app will fill the emptiness in the heart of those who miss the liberty of CHOOSING, the app "Better Open With" will make your life easier, it worked for me and don't ask for any information.

Thanks for this app. Just noticed this same issue on my S7 and sometimes I use different browsers for search. So having to go in and clear out the default each time wouldnt have been cool. I like how the app has a countdown and pause as well. Great suggestion.
