[Q] Downgrade Gmail to 2.3.4 - Desire Themes and Apps

Hello,
I have recently installed Nosense 4.2 in my HTC Desire HD. My only problem is that the rom has stock gmail app version 2.3.5 and I want to downgrade to 2.3.4 since 2.3.5 cannot handle correctly multiple accounts. Up to now, i have tried installing the older version with no success, tried to copy it to the system/app with no success. How can I downgrade an application succesfully ?
Thanks in advance.

Remove 2.3.5 - install 2.3.4.

Did you set the permissions too on the new apk?
You can set it with Root Explorer after you copied it over.
Just tick every box (that way it should work).

The fix permissions of rom manager does the same thing i suppose ? I tried that with no luck..I haven't tried with root explorer cause it's not free and i can't download it.

Not really. Try to get Root explorer ans set the permissions, so the apk can be read/write/executed correctly for all owners.

are you sure u didn't wrong someting in the settings?
btw this is the desire section, non desire hd

Does the phone need to be rooted inorder to downgrade to 2.3.4? Thanks.

Finally.. New Market Worked - CyanogenMod Milestone

Just want to share with you guys..
I finally get the new market to work (no fc anymore) by coincidence, after flashing the new update of cyan for milestone..
Here's what ive done,
first of all, i backup the old market (mine was v1.8) using titanium..
and then i insert the new market to the "gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip" file, by replacing the old market/vending.apk
after flashing cyan, then i flash the gapps file that have been modified before.. the installation worked great..
after that, i tried it.. it's fc as usual.. then when i was going to revert it back to the old market using titanium, theres only data only, i tried that..
amazingly, it the new market worked.. i dont know how, but it worked..
im now downloading apps from the market.. well i hope it'll work for you also..
and so sorry for my bad english.. thx..

I also want the new market (the other gapps are updated using the market anyway) can you please PM or post the link where you got the newest market ? I would be very grateful!
This one came from FroyoMOD 2.2.0 but the same ****ing FC

Easy root access for (nand) HD builds

Here's a very easy way to gain root access to your Nand HD builds.Some have mentioned something called z4root from the market but every time i put that in search it couldn't find it. What i DID find was an app called Super Manager that works like a charm and has many functions such as task manager,apk manager, file explorer, and app back up. What you want to do first is go to settings(where you can access just about anything..shake capture,full screen mode,font size..etc.)then go to 'enable root function'. After that,you'll be able to go into root explorer..and enjoy.
If you can't find them on the market, you can always find them HERE
hey thanks lude. that page must have eluded me cause i had no idea it existed..probably because i never really checked the android only pages. i usually hovered around the hd2 android pages.anyways,thanks.i have one question for you..i hear allot about busybox but i'm not exactly sure what it is..or the magic behind it. could you explain?

just search z4root on google and the first thing is the link from here

People have said that z4root does not work on desire hd builds. Can anyone confirm?

Dung8604..iv'e heard the same thing...Another reason i went ahead and used Super Manager. Well that and the fact that it has so many options.

Basically it gives you additional unix/linux commands so you can deploy different tasks at the root level. Similarly, it's like having a registry editor in windows for you to slice and dice around.
i cant remove apps from system
but titanium backup have root right
is this will help ?

I'm gonna give it a shot and report my findings then. Thanks.
Edit: I've gotta say this is definitely worth a go. Don't know if everything works as described, (such as app backup) but I'm definitely looking at my system files. I tried copying the miui music app into /system/app directory but it said not enough free space. Strange, but I will play with it some more tomorrow. Thanks for the find!

SYS App Unistaller will take care of the System Apps you want gone.??
EDIT::: Anything in Squash may have a issue. Not running a "Squashed" ROM so I can't test.
Doesn't hurt to try...

Not working

no apps market

hi
just got a new htc desire hd
and there is no android market on the phone
how can i install it to the phone
thanks
Are you definitely sure that it isn't there? Considering that it does come installed stock.
Otherwise, install it from this link: http://code.google.com/p/synergy-base/source/browse/trunk/system/app/Vending.apk?r=239

You really should go back to wherever you bought it from and ask for an explanation.
If that doesn't work out for you, a simple way to install it without connecting it to your computer would be to install ROM Manager and then install Google Apps from there. I personally would take the new Market from the XDAForums.
Hey, if you are going to install the market, it might as well be the new one.
How can he install ROM Manager easily without the Market, and what use would that be? I've merely provided the apk, that's all there is to it.
To the OP, remember to allow installing from unknown sources under Settings > Applicationa
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
I see your point.
I was just assuming that if he didn't have the market, he probably didn't have some g apps either.
Doing it either way is easy enough, and in any case, and if you're going to install through an apk, then you might as well take the new one (that said, I haven't checked out your link as yet).
Does ROM Manager give a flashable package or a bunch of apks? Because again, if he isn't rooted, he can't flash zips either...knowing ROM Manager, I'm presuming they are zips.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
ROM Manager deals with installing Google Apps the same way it deals with any other ROM. It is a pretty useful thing tto hhave, especially because a lot of ROMs ship without Google apps.
So yeah, I'm guessing that you would have to root.

That's really strange, I've had no problems at all with mine! What ROM are you running? Maybe its a bug?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Sugggest you back to shop to ask for an explain. By default it comes with HTC Sense and all Google apps. If you sure it is not there, maybe the shop flash you another customized rom?
as far as know its the standard rom the phone came with
its wasn't root etc.
its not a UK phone its from Kuwait but it has English etc on it
i was wondering if it doesn't have apps market as standard in that country??
i got it online so would mean posting back, emailed them and that dont understand why it didnt have the market on.

If you go to settings > about phone > software, could you post the info from there on here please? Just to determine whether your ROM is standard or not

You can get the latest Android Market.apk from here.
(It's also on XDA in a few threads.)

Hmm...all stock. Strange.
Did you install the Vending.apk from my link, and did that work? 1.86 is very old, that might be why it doesn't work as well.
If mine didn't work, I can fetch the previous version for you.

Maybe you could try deleting the data from the app by going to settings > applications > manage applications and find market and press delete data or whatever hope this works!

Have you considered rooting the device and flashing a new rom?

Error

I have just started my brand new x8, so nothing is changed with it, I try and download an app from the internet and when I go to install it I get 'There is a problem parsing the package', I have tried many different app installers, but still no luck.
Thanks very much for all replies
some apps need to run on a newer version of amdroid, for example app2sd (wich transfers your installed apps to your micro sd card) requires android 2.2 or higher to run, but the stock Sony Ericsson firmware is android 2.1 so until you install a new ROM e.g. Froyobread (Android 2.2) or GingerDX (Android 2.3) you wont be able to run certain apps

Make sure that SuperUser is not set to automatically deny SU access to new apps.
If it is not or it does not seem to launch properly, download the SuperUser or the SuperSU flashable zip file and flash it through your recovery. That should fix the SU problem.
