Does anyone know how to update the gmail app to 2.2.1?
I tried using the one leaked on Incredible forum (link below) with no success :(
Tried extracting the gmail.apk from the zip file and using rootexplorer to replace but still loads gmail 2.2

I am running frf91 deodexed - Thanks!

Perfect, thanks!
I had a noob moment (actually mostly a stupid moment)
I used root explorer to move gmail.apk from zip to system apps folder but never thought I actually need to install it. :eek:

I then installed it using astro and everything seems to be working.

Is it okay to do it that way? Can you just install it like normal apk from sdcard?

2.2.1 seems nice. The biggest difference is a large reply arrow on top. When you press it reply, reply all, forward scroll in. This is a bit nicer than before.

Thanks fir the help!

No problem,

As for installing from the sdcard, I dont think you'll have a problem.

I usually just adb push any system app.

Is this still in Beta or something? Is that why it hasn't been pushed out to 2.2 users? Or perhaps it's getting pushed to all NON-ROOT 2.2 users...?? IDK.

YES YES it worked perfectly, installed upgrade and now I'm playing with the big boys lol.... as this is official from Google themselves, how come were all having to get this from XDA and we didn't get this from Google themselves?? odd.. either way I'm happy I have it!! Thanks guys!!!

BTW where was this file acquired from?? A Froyo 2.2 rom from the nexus one?? If so that's odd b/c I just upgrade to Froyo on my EVO directly from Sprint/HTC. I'm running official stock Froyo that my EVO recieved OTA and I didn't get that GMAIL update.... :confused:

Seems as stable as the original client, and yes, you can roll back.

As for officially rolled out, who knows, if ever. Maybe it'll appear in the Market without telling anyone, like the improved search widget.
