You will need to be rooted then. Use Root Explorer and move the APK into /system/app or use adb push
Just wanted to share a bit of info regarding images in emails:
One reason images are disabled by default is this is the mechanism marketing companies use to track the "open rate" of their communications.
The images are typically tagged with some URL parameters - when the request for the image is received by the server, they now know which of their emails were opened by you. This "tracking" image is often a 1x1 pixel transparent image at the end of the email.
If you are concerned about this sort of data profiling, you might wish to consider enabling images on a case by case basis.

Works great thanks!
If your having problems installing try flashing this zip via RM or recovery.

This is very much needed. Google should add a master button to toggle all images on/off. Thanks for this!!
Oh yeah. A flashable zip. *facepalm* why didn't I think of that. Will add to OP later.
Thank you for creating the ZIP and Anderdroid thanks a WHOLE bunch for creating the original mod. This is so awesome! I hated having to press that button every time! You guys rock!
I agree I was just thinking about if there was a option to just display all images and boom this pops in my twitter feed this morning awesome. I installed mine by removing the old gmail.apk with titanium backup and then with a emulator copied it to /system/app/ and boom it fired right up. Thanks man really appreciate it.
Just curious, how did you resign the apk?
In my rom, Gmail.apk is signed by:
Owner: CN=Android, OU=Android, O=Google Inc., L=Mountain View, ST=California, C=US
Or did you just replace the classes.dex in the apk, and didn't resign it?
I installed the zip in recovery and still have the "Show Pictures" button in gmail. Before that I tried copying it to the system/app folder with root explorer. no luck.

23EDIT: 2.3.2 done
I noticed one annoying thing about Gmail for me. I always had to hit the big "Display Images" button to view emails properly.
So I decompiled it, did some editing, and got it to always display images period. Doesn't ever show that big ugly button either. All emails load images, it's great.
This is based on the latest FROYO Gmail. I may make a version for Eclair if there's enough people interested.
You will need to be rooted.
Method 1: adb push Gmail.apk /system/app
Method 2: copy Gmail.apk to /system/app using Root Explorer
Delete Gmail.odex from /system/app if it exists. Also delete GoogleMail.apk and GoogleMail.odex if they exist.
You may be able to simply uninstall the updates to Gmail and then install this like a normal app, it may not require root. Someone try it.
apk is attached7I have attached patched versions of the 2.3.4.1 Froyo standard and 'black' versions that will show email images automatically and do not require you to press the 'show pictures' button.
I do not have Froyo and thus have no way to test these. I patched them in the same way as the Eclair version I provided earlier determined by decompiling the Froyo version from the original poster.
I have also attached the most recent 1.3 Eclair version with the same patch.
Enjoy...
Be sure to rename the APK you are using to gmail.apk7New APKs Packaged in Flashable ZIPs
Hello All,
If anyone's having difficulty with copying, renaming, permissions, etc, I have packaged the new *.apk* files into a flashable zip you can install from Recovery or ROM Manager the old way.
None of this is mine- I just placed the new APKs into the ZIP package created by the original poster.
@Anderdroid - I hope you have no problem with this54download the file you want from post #217 to the root of your sd card. With root explorer, mount the sd card as RW and delete the original gmail apk from /system/app
once you do that, copy and paste the apk from the root to the app folder
click and open permissions and select all of them under user..
reboot and enjoy
