Can you share your steps for installing? I followed the steps in the thread you linked to and when I tried to start GMAIL 0 the video played - but when I tried to use GMAIL - it FC'd -
what steps did you do?

1- uninstall Gmail using Titanium back up/ restart phone.
2- using rom toolbox edit build.prop
Search for ro.buid.type and Change "user" to "userdebug"
And it should work let me know

Worked for me just had to:
1) uninstall the old version (titanium)
2) move the downloaded apk to system\priv-app, and change the permissions
3) reboot
4) change the buildprop to userdebug

For Calendar? If so I just did it the same way I di the others . I did remove google calendar sync with titainium backup . I put it in system/priv-app and changed permissions to 766 with all of them . Then after rebooting several times (because i installed each app one at a time) it showed up in my app drawer.. Ill post a screenie in a minute

Here it is I also have all installed except fit cause I don't want it and books. The other 6 work fine

That is what I did too - when I first tried to uninstall Calendar using Titanium, I didn't see the ap in the list of programs - all I saw was Calendar Sync and Calendar Storage...
So I made sure I backed up the ap in TB - then uninstalled Calendar Sync - then installed the new GOOGLE Calendar by clicking on the ap file on my SD Card - I rebooted and found I had TWO Calendars installed - I then saw both calendars (the old one and the new one in TB) so I uninstalled the old one - rebooted - and all is good.
Look - sometimes I am like a bull in a china shop - but I always make sure I can revert what I am doing in case I do something really stupid - and this time, it worked!
EDIT - what is weird to me is that I did not see the Original GOOGLE CALENDAR in TB when I first tried to uninstall - but after installing the new Calendar - I saw both in my list of aps in TB - odd...

[Q] Accidentally erased Facebook for HTC Sense

I accidentally erased Facebook for HTC Sense. Now i can't sync my contacts with Facebook. I'm rooted with unrEvoked, and i guess i have stock kernel. Any suggestions how to download this again? Is there something better for syncing with Facebook.
Thanks
Go to the regular facebook page from your browser and there will be a link at the bottom of the facebook page to download to your Evo.
Stealthl: thanks, but that only downloads the one in Android Market. I need the one that came with the phone, so I can sync with my contacts. Anyone have that ROM for downloading?

uhh... they're the same app? Many roms I flash don't come with Facebook at all. I download it from the market, log in, and it gives me the option to sync contacts.
I also would love to get this, since made the same mistake. Side note they are not the same.
Extract it from the Rom your using (zip) and push it into your system it re-flash the Rom.

That seems to be the app from the market right.
The app we're looking for is the one that comes on the evo from sprint. It is called HTC Facebook for Sense.
I am having the same issue where I deleted the HTC Facebook app thinking it was the same as the market FB app when apparently it is now. And now my contact list will not synch with Facebook.
I also tried to create a facebook account under "accounts and synch" but it didn't work presumably because I no longer have HTC Facebook installed.
This is what comes on the phone.
They are not the same. That being said... the one in the market is definitely better. The only down side is it wont sync your facebook calendar. (if that matters to you) It SHOULD do contacts. What you have to do is go to the home screen, then choose menu, settings, sync contacts, then choose the appropriate choice. Note: it doesnt open to the home screen.
If you still couldn't get the Android Market Facebook work with syncing your contacts, or if you still just want the HTCFacebook.apk, then here it is. You need to copy it to /system/app, using Root Explorer, or use adb to push it to system/app. It won't work if you try to install it like a regular app.
Edit: I just noticed that the OP was from mid November!!! HAHAHA
Copied to /system/app using root explorer get app not installed error any suggestions...its funny hoe you go crazy deleting stock apps when u first root then loose some functionality like the ability to sync

Google account on phone is GONE!

I just opened my phone & tried to open my gmail & it just closed, no FC or anything just a black screen that opened & closed real fast. I then tried to open the market & it says you must add a new account so i hit yes & that just closes to, so i went to settings accounts & sync & my gmail is not in there so i hit add account & there is no gmail in there. Anyone know how i can get my Google account working again? I also tried loading the market webpage on my laptop & it won't even open. Wonder if Google is having problems.
I had this problem before but can't remember for the life of me how i fixed it. I am rooted & running Shooter Rom. I don't want to restore my phone, that's my last option.

(If you are still experiencing this problem)
Restart your phone once (works most of the time)...if that doesn't do it, clear cache and dalvik and reflash the rom (without full wipe)...
Alternatively, you could also try fixing permissions from the recovery.

Yes. You will have all your existing apps and data. Reflashing should replace missing files and redo the permissions.

[UPDATED 11/1/2012] [Exclusive] Unreleased Gmail 4.2 APK With Pinch-To-Zoom

Now that the dump is out, im hosting the gmail apk again! enjoy!
here it is guys, the newest Gmail 4.2 Reported to be working for Android 4.0+, rooted devices only. If you are having issues with 'waiting to sync', clear app data under settings and try again
Installation Option 1:
uwdus said:
Uninstalled old apk with Titanium -> Reboot -> Installed new Gmail apk with explorer -> Reboot - Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation Option 2:
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
OK, let's get down to it. You'll probably need ADB installed on your computer (here's an easy way that doesn't require downloading the Android SDK). There is a chance that this might work without ADB by just removing the APKs mentioned below and installing the new one, but it didn't seem to work reliably for everyone. This should, though:
1. Download Gmail 4.2 from one of the mirrors above.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (this is always a good thing to do before messing with your device).
4. Delete (or move if you want to save the APKs) all other versions of Gmail. Usually there are 2 or 3 copies. One will be in /system/app (that's the original Gmail that was pre-installed on the device) and there may be a few in /data/app (these are the updates installed from the Play Store). They'll be called "Gmail.apk," or "com.google.android.gm-[number].apk," An easy way to tell is to look for the Gmail icon.
5. You may need to delete the .odex files matching the APKs in step 4 too, if you have them. Neither I nor Artem had to do this, but there are many different ROMs out there, and we're trying to cover all bases. Ignore this step and only come back to it if something doesn't work later.
6. Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned.
7. You can try to install the Gmail 4.2 APK you downloaded at this point by tapping it in your favorite file explorer (move the APK to your device first, of course). If that doesn't work, or if you prefer ADB, fire up a command line and type adb install Gmail2.apk.
If you get an error message, you probably didn't delete all copies of Gmail. If you don't feel like playing with ADB for Step 7, I've also gotten it to work by just copying the APK to /data/app, but that's not as fool proof as "ADB install".

Does this pre-release version supercede future Gmail updates?
Thanks for the update. Love the new pinch-to-zoom feature! (BTW, swipe to "archive or delete" always archives for me. Can't figure out how to choose delete, instead.)
Question: Now that I have this pre-release Gmail2.apk installed, does this mean that I won't get any more Production releases of the Gmail app? (After all, I uninstalled the original Gmail app with Titanium Backup before I installed the new Gmail2.apk.) Once Gmail 4.2 is formally released, should I uninstall the Gmail2.apk and re-install the deleted Gmail.apk? (Will that work using TB?)

As of now gmail won't appear in your play store. Once it's released to the public, you should be able to uninstall the leak and just download the new one from the store.

[Q] Google Apps / Sync on Ascend P6 (chinese Version)

Dear friends,
I just bought a Huawei Ascend P6 in a local chinese store - and its awesome!
Besides that there are no Google Apps installed. I managed to install the Play Store, Gmail, Maps, Google Now by just simply downloading the .apks and installing them.
Nevertheless, I can't add a Google Account which means I can not sync my google contacts
What I tryed so far:
Booting to Stock Recovery and trying to install GAPPS --> Failed to to Error "Wrong Verification"
Extracted GAPPS archiev and moved all Apps.apk to System/app. Also set the right permissions (rrw - r - r) --> No effect
My Phone is already successfully rooted. What can I do? Please help me =)
Noone can help?

Hello,
I also have the ascend P6 chinese version
Can you please tell me what the error message you receive when trying to sync.
From my part I managed to join the device with the google account and also sync contacts.
Only difference from what you told me earlier was that I didn't have the device rooted when I synced.
What tool did you use to sync ?
There is no error message. I just don't have the option to add a Google Account under "Settings" -> "Add Account". Play Store however created one as well as Gmail. But calender sync or contact sync is not working.
What modifications did you make to your phone? How did you manage to add an full featured Google Account under "Settings"?

I didn't make any modification - i just install google play and download all the applications - the moment I signed into gmail and play store i was asked to sync
It's probably due to some error or bug

By the way I managed to sync my calendar by downloading Google Calendar from the app market.

Absolutely right, my eMails were synced - and of course a Google Account was created in the phone therefore (by GMail App). Nevertheless contact sync was not working since this is not a "full featured" Google Account but more like a GMail sync account atm.
ALSO I made a horrible mistake. I downloaded the latest GApps (for Android 4.2.2 - should be the right ones actually?) and installed them in the "root\Systems\App" folder of my device. I also changed the permissions to rw-r-r according to multiple postings I found all around the web. Now my phone does start, but BEFORE the homescreen or anything is loaded there is a error message saying something like
"Setup Wizard stopped working". It comes up repeatetly! Everytime I click OK this message comes up again! I can not use my phone anymore.
FYI, Setup Wizard is the App who starts when first time starting an Android device for initial setup of Accounts and introduction in your phone.
How can I fix it?? Right now my phone is bricked. I can not access the Settings or anything. I am rooted, but without custom recovery. Can someone uploade the International Stock Rom of the P6?
€: I tried to flash the original chinese rom I found at Huawei webpage, but my Stock Recovery is saying:
Huawei SDCARD&USB UPDATE AGENDT 2.0
This phone is secureboot phone.
This phone is LOCK state.
Update Package: /sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP <-- This is the Rom I want to install
checking sd update pkg ...
Huawei SD card update fail
How do you make to root the p6?? I have a chinese version of p6 too and i dont know how to root it.

Hey man,
thx for the tip, I finally got it back working! Even better, the international version already brings full google integration. Perfect!
For your question: Search for a tool name eRoot. You can find it here - sorry that its in German.

BTW: Guys! Never ever buy MicroSD Cards at chinese fake markets! I bought a 16GB card and fpr pictures etc its working perfectly. But when I wanted to flash the ROM it came up all the time with above mentioned error messages. After I changed to a legit SD card from Germany everything was working perfectly. =D

I'm wondering the same thing. I just got a Chinese P6 and want to make it an international version if possible.
Hi guys
yes, the official rom is international ( This one ) and is for all phones, it does not require root.
it has two methods of upgrading:
the force upgrade (wiping everything, by starting from the recovery boot with power + volume up and down together)
the soft upgrade (overwriting and keeping programs, data and configurations, by launching the upgrade from the management/upgrade icon as local upgrade)
to soft upgrade simply:
- download pack
- unzip on pc
- copy the directory dload to the root of the sd card
- unplug usb phone-pc (so to remount sd card)
- enter managmenet icon group, choose upgrade, select local upgrade, run
- 5 minutes and your phone will be upgraded to version 107, international with all google apps already installed
enjoy
That's very promising. Is it possible to first make a complete "nandroid" backup? I'm thinking about doing the hard flash, because using Chinese configuration files with an English versions seems to invite problems.

Ok, so I just did a hard upgrade. It's good but I have a problem: the quick settings notification bar (sound, wifi options etc.) is grayed out in settings and cannot be enabled anymore. Why is this?

After upgrading to the B107 version, you should perform another hard reset, that fixed it for me.

Interestingly.. unfortunately I have been configuring my current setup for a long time now and another hard reset would make all that work for nothing.
It also seems like a very surprising solution. Are you sure this fixed it?
So you can actually enable the notification bar now?
By the way, do you know if we still get frequent system updates with this version?

1. Yup, that's what I did.
2. Yes, I can enable it and customize the notification bar buttons after my hard reset.
3. I'm not sure about the frequent updates though.

I messed up removing the stock Gallery app..

Hi all,
Got my 20X running EMUI 9.1 (all stock) and started disabling some useless apps (to me) like Google Music & Google Photos..
But these constantly re-enabled themselves appearing back on home screen.. So I decided to go ADB
Removed mostly Google apps I wasn't using but then I deleted some Huawei ones like HiCare..
...because I was doing such a good job :silly: I decided to get rid of the stock Gallery app - that is com.android.gallery3d and another one like com.android.gallery3d.overlay IIRC
Set my own gallery app as Default however the Huawei Camera app will not let me access recent shots as it's asking for the stock Gallery app...
Any way I can get around this please?
My goto is try apkmirror
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/huawe...ease/gallery-9-0-15-355-android-apk-download/
May or may not like it.
You can also check default apps under apps in setting to reset as default if necessary

Factory Reset will get you all back to before you started disabling/deleting apps.

Was afraid I'd have to do that... just after I finished setting everything up :l
any shortcuts I could take?

Factory Reset is your fastest way of getting it working again as far as I know. Once you start deleting factory files/apps, I'm not sure what interacts with other files/apps to know exactly what needs to be reinstalled/added manually. With Factory Reset there's no question since it puts everything back how it was from factory. I was lucky enough to unlock my bootloader prior to Huawei blocking that and as a rule I freeze apps via Titanium Backup and wait at least a few weeks to see if anything else is effected before deleting.

You can try an older version and then see if it can be upgraded. The AppMarket if on AL00 is an alternative.
Huawei Backup & Restore is actually pretty good at settings and data, if you can save off the device itself before a reset.
So I managed to sort this out without having to Factory Reset, I just re-installed the app via adb
cmd package install-existing <name of package>
[Also returned the phone in the meantime]
