Didnt find this posted so here goes:

We just released a new version of the Gmail app in Android Market, so Gmail updates aren’t tied to Android version releases anymore. Now you can get new Gmail stuff faster without having to wait for system updates.

If you are on a custom ROM where the signature of the gmail app is different, then you will have to do the following first:

adb remount
adb shell mv /system/app/Gmail.apk /system/app/Gmail.apk.bak
adb uninstall com.google.android.gm

Note: the uninstall command may work on its own, but the above is what I did in order

thanks I was wondering what that was all about.

djdarkknight96 · Sep 22, 2010

Thanks for the heads up. Cm6 using gapps flash let's you instal straight from the market! No issues here!

bufodill · Sep 22, 2010

Thanks.
Didn't work for me though, I had to adb shell and "rm" the gmail apk, different rom I guess

But then it installed nicely.
Now if they could please update their calendar to add some missed features.

Edit: No... what version number should it display in "about"?
Mine says 2.3 , but I don't get my priority inbox

I'm on CM6 (8/27) without the Gapps flash and I just used Titanium Backup to uninstall Gmail, restarted, then installed from the market.

Confirmed, This is the way I did it.

Airosa · Sep 23, 2010

rusty, thanks bro.
Shall I just use the whole file (.rar) or just the apk would do fine?

Rusty! · Sep 23, 2010

Extract the .apk from the RAR file and install it.

AllanJacques · Sep 26, 2010

ell guy, I am having a bit trouble enabling push e-mail, any ideas?
It jus doesnt push my email no matter what, an -9 mail works perfectly...
Please help?

Rusty! · Sep 26, 2010

Gmail pushes, email doesn't, unless you use Exchange/ActiveSync

I truly dislike the fact that the copy and past function in Gmail is so abysmal. It seems you can only select and copy only whats showing on the screen at the time .. So if you wanted to copy a entire message and you try and do that ..

select .. more .... copy text .. u put ur finger down and start to higlight then use the trackball to scroll while highlighting it only highlights whats showing on the screen and does not retain what was highlighted before ..

So basically to copy a large email you have to do it in sections ..

Talk about tedious .. what happened to the the good ol select all function

This again is in reference to copy and paste in the gmail app from your phone

so i unistalled gmail via titanium... tried to adb... tried the .rar and extacted the .apk and i have nothing still. keeps failing to install. now i have no email unless i nandroid.

when i fastboot my commands are to cd\ c:\superboot then fastboot-windows devices...then serial # is recognized. i tried the commands and i get incorrect errors and what not. Am i doing that right? Or do i need to do it a diff way. Im not too familiar with adb.

EDIT: I got it to work...but what was i doing wrong via adb. I would like to know and get more familiar

Rusty! · Sep 30, 2010

I'm a bit confused at to what you were trying to do, you mention ADB but list fastboot commands. They're two seperate programs, which were you using exactly?

Fastboot will never be able to push an app, that's ADB's job. Fastboot is for flashing .img files.

Buck Shot · Sep 30, 2010

this is where my inexperience comes into play. guess i know less about adb then i thought.

Rusty! · Sep 30, 2010

Ah but now you know (since you said you got there in the end), gotta start somewhere.

push via gtalk?

The XDA article that links to this thread says that there is no longer to syn inboxes because the new gmail app talks through gtalk...is this something done in the background or do we have to enable it and if so how?
