[Q] Updating Gmail on Galaxy SIII SPH-L710 d2spr - SlimRoms Q&A

How can I, or can I, update to the new Gmail 4.7.2?
I followed the app in the xda thread, http://d-h.st/pXI
Can I download and flash without any issues?
I currently have Gmail 4.5.2 on Slimbean 4.3build 2.2 Official.
Thanks for any and all feedback.

Why do you have to flash anything? It's just an apk file. Just install like any other Android app.

I did try to instal but I got an error message stating even though these files are named the same they have different signatures and installation has stopped.
What does this mean exactly?

You can either open up the Play Store and check for updates to your apps because at this point in time the update should be showing up for everyone. Second choice is to uninstall and then install with the new apk.

I did try to update it through play. It went all the to downloading and stopped during the installation with the message :"Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again".
This is why I went to download and intsall. But that route too is not working out for me.
There is no "uninstall" option for Gmail??
I'm stumped on where to go next?
Thoughts if you please??

Try using Titanium Backup to uninstall Gmail and install again from Market.

This the developer section. Post in q&a.
uninstall from the app manager (menu>settings>applications>manage applications) then reinstall from the market.
if that doesn't work (it's 50/50), reboot inbetween the two steps.
adb push it in... into system/app
I just flashed CM6.1 with the latest GAPPS and look like I have the latest YT app.
I checked the Market and it's the same version nothing newer
Download Titanium Backup
Use that to uninstall your current Youtube app.
Find Youtube app from the market install that and your good to go.

There's a newer version today that is not covered in any of the GAPPS zip files. It won't install over top of the one the came in the zip.
titanium backup removal worked (be aware it will reboot into recovery mode to do it though), however when I go to install the new youtube app from the market I get a "package not signed correctly error"

select "Un-install!"
that should work
Most recent GAPPS from ROM manager has version 2.0.26 included.
The market version is 2.1.6.
2.1 includes:
-Post comments within the app
-New videos from subscriptions show up on the main screen
-Added "All" category in Browse
-Bugfixes and performance increases
When I try to install it I get the "Package file not signed correctly" error. Same error occurred on 6.0.

Android Market update to 2.2.11 out

Just today hit my Evo, i'm sure everyone else should be getting it as well.
I didn't even see it coming. It just updated on its own...cool.
Sent from my precious Mynion Eva
Anyone have a zip of this, right now my market is borked, can't get one to flash, though i know i could just flash gapps all over again, but i really don't want to to that, though there is nothing wrong with doing that.
You *should* be able to just copy the APK to your sdcard, then run it via a file manager like Root Explorer. That'll apply the update.
If it doesn't work... You're more than welcome to try CM7, flash the 1/14 gapps, then install the update. Worked perfectly for me.
Installed fine here
from my phone duh
ALL u have to do is resign it use signapktic n it should install fine then

I downloaded it to SD and went into my ES File Explorer and opened the downloads file tapped the apk and it asked if I wanted to replace system app i said yes. then I got an "application not installed" prompt.
would removing the market I have installed let the new one install?

Shouldn't. What ROM/gapps are you running? I got mine to work based off the CM7 1/14 gapps, followed by downloading the above APK and installing it from Root Explorer.
If it doesn't work check the box that allows you to install programs from unknown sources... Try that and see if it works

UPDATE: Latest "Market" Now 3.3.12

Update: 11/20/11 Unofficial Market update which brings it to Version 3.3.12. Better integration with the Music market. You can now download free music and purchase music as well. Sorry U.S.A. only for free music (?)
How to install: download apk and install like any other apks.
http://db.tt/0j3ii5Oq
Here is the latest (leaked?) update of the Market which brings it to version 3.3.11.
And here's how I installed it: I am currently on CM7 nightlies
Download .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk)
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access)
Move New Market .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk) to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first)
Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) older market .apk (Vending.apk) to your sdcard
Rename new market as Vending.apk
Fix Permissions (rw--r--r)
Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot
Done! Whew...
OR...
Download .apk
Rename New Market .apk to "Vending.apk" (w/o the quotes)
Install just like any other apllication
Reboot (if necessary)
*I didn't get the chance to try the second option so it may or may not work, but it kinda made sense...
**not sure if (Vending.apk) is the same name for SENSE ROMS (I don't remember) but just make sure to rename it the same way...
FOR MORE INFO... MARKET 3.3.11
Sounds like a lot of work for nothing. Have you tested and confirm that you can buy a new app with this new market apk?

DL'd and installed earlier. I had been having problems with the speed of other 3.x market apps, this fixes those all, even on 3g. However, some of my installed apps aren't showing up (like Google Maps, of all things). I'm sure there's a simple solution to that, though.

Try and clear "market" data through the application settings and reopen the market. See if that worked...

It won't install for me. It keeps saying application not installed. If I use root explorer to place the .apk in the /systems/app folder I just get force closes. Clearing data doesn't help either. I have downloaded it several times thinking it was a corrupted download. I'm at wits end here. I have done everything in this post even before I read it as I have updated to all the other previous market releases without issue.
But for some reason this one just doesn't work. I thought maybe it wasn't working on cm7.1 nightli or or the evo shift but some of you have it working so that isn't it. Let me redo this and maybe format cache and dalvik see if that helps.

did you rename the .apk of the new update?
I had zero issues with the new Market. I just installed it like any other .apk. The new Market is very nice. Many small noticable differences. Like when on the My Apps page and you switch accounts it leaves you on the My Apps page instead of reloading the whole damn Market. Overall new Market is definitly an improvement and Vicodan should stop being such a hater

I did try that, but no luck. I'll probably just ignore it until the next time I flash a ROM. Then it'll fix itself, so that's fine. I imagine it's only going to be a few days until I do that anyway.

Titanium Backup can restore all your Market links. I believe there's also other apps designed just to do that too. Use TB or search for an app that restores Market links.

If your use titanium backup to restore or install your apps go into the settings and use market doctor. This will fix missing links to apps in the market that you have installed.

I used your second instructions to install it but I didn't rename it and it installed fine. I didn't need to change permissions or reboot, just touched the Market-3.3.11.apk after I downloaded it and it installed. Thanks.

How to Install Google Play Store

Now that we have root I've been able to test and verify that Google Play Store can be installed. So far I'd had no issues. Obviously you'll need root access first which I've put links below.
Rooting tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544965
Rooting video: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546117
1. Download the following zip file which includes all the required files (KFHDX_PlayStore).
2. Install Google Account manager, Services Framework, and Play Services (it is not necessary to install as system app).
3. Reboot
4. Install Vending.apk in "system/app" (requires to make "/system" RW) then open up the app and log-in with you account.
5. Install Google Play Store
Even though Play Store can be installed with account, downloading of apps are not working. Stay tuned.

Yes, Play Store is working fine and now shows up in my Play Store setting account. Versions are as follows:
Account manager: 4.03
Services Framework: 4.04
Play Services: 4.034
Only Account Manager and Framework require the older version. Play Services always works on KF with latest version. Also Play Store is latest version as well.

Hey, thanks for everything you're doing. When I open up vending apk once i've moved it to system/app i agree to the terms of services and then it crashes. If install and open again it just crashes after a couple of seconds.
When I went to open the playstore it worked for about 30 seconds and then it crashed (I did notice my account was logged in). Now when I open it, it crashes straight back to the homescreen.

I will make a video soon but it's basically the same as the KF HD so you can check that video for now. I would suggest for everyone that is having trouble to make sure you remove all sideloaded Google apps if you had installed them. I had some issues before when I tried to re-install some Google apps after removing my account. I began with a fresh start that had no sideloaded apps. So far I'd had no issues with FC, or messages. I know people suggest installing all apps in system/app but if I prefer to keep system app installation to a minimum. If it doesn't require it then I don't do it. That was the case with old KF HD and I had no issues and I will do the same on the KF HDX.

Problems installing apps

So I am using lucky patcher to create modified apps. I download an app from Google play just fine, but I modify it then uninstall/install. When I try to install it says it conflicts with an existing package. My question is does it have something to do with the Uninstalled app section in settingd or is it something else? I have looked all over the phone for any files still leftover and can't find any... I have also looked on Google for a solution and none have worked.
Try rebooting after uninstall then install.
Thanks

I figured out I was restarting after installing from the play store instead of after uninstall. Thanks for the help =)
