Gmail widget is gone

Hey guys, after I rooted my SGT, my gmail app is there, but my widget is gone. Anyone know how to get it back?

Check and see if gmail got moved to the SD card. If it did move it back to phone and reboot.

Common issue when you root the SGT, happened to me. See the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15214760&postcount=2 to fix it.

Nice sk63! Worked no problem. Thanks guys.

an even EASIER way was to go into recovery, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik Cache then reboot.

When I found the Gmail.apk in /system/app/ I didn't have an option to uninstall, so i hit delete instead. I thought there was a gmail app in the Market, but after I deleted, there was no app in the market. Does anyone mind posting a copy of the apk for me?

Yeah man, when I get home ill upload the apk. If you still need it.

[Q] Cannot sign-in into my google account on i337

I have an AT&T Galaxy-S4 (i337 Model) that recently stopped syncing up with my google account...
1. I tried to remove my account completely and set it up from scratch.
2. Now, I cannot sign-in at all. It gives me the message "There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later."
3. Does anybody here care to tell me how to get this thing to work?
It is extremely irritating and I tried a bunch of different things but nothing has worked so far... So help would really appreciated..
Thank you
Maxie

What rom are you using?

Double check that you have Internet connectivity.

Do a factory reset then odin back to stock and make sure you are on MDL.

Might want to check your time and date settings, having them off by too much can mess with ssl.

Why would you suggest Odin if OP is stock?
OP try clearing cache and data for Google apps and if that fails you can try a reset.

Yeah ofcourse I am using this setup since mid august so that isnt the problem. I restored my backup of the stock rom and it works fine there, but I am on CM10.2 again because I know it isnt a problem that cant be solved. Or would a clean flash absolutely be necessary?

But for flashing new gapps package, I think it could work indeed since im using a package from august. Can I just flash it in my recovery without wiping anything?

I restored my backup of the stock ROM and I am connected to Google again. A clean flash of CM10.2 didn't allow me to connect to Google.
So I guess I have not been blocked for doing illegal things? But its quite strange in mu opinion...

That's possible because I changed the country of my play store with market unlocker. But why is it still not working with a clean flash of my rom?

so, after flashing a custom rom it doesnt connect? do you have google hangouts installed? if you flash a custom rom again, and it doesnt connect, try opening hangouts.

if hangouts connects fine, then your google services are connecting. ive seen graphical errors before, where the bars dont turn blue but its still connecting to google(a reboot always fixed it for me). but google used to connect being able to connect with goigle talk, i dont know if they do the same with hangouts now.

Deleted phone.apk

Using the clean masters suggested apps that can be uninstalled to speed up the phone it has somehow deleted the phone app does anyone know how to get it back without factory reseting!

Just backup your apps and factory reset. It's the best solution. It will take you 5 minutes.

Well the phone apk is a system file so if its been deleted doing a factor reset won't help. All factory reset does is wipe the data partition where your user apps and settings are stored. Its not like factory reset uses a backup file to restore things.
I assume you are rooted to have done this. You may be able to find the apk from another two rom , extract it, and see if it will install. If not you may have to Odin back to stock to restore it if you want to keep the stock ROM.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

Do you Know how our where to Get the .apk file?

Solved [Q] AutoDroid Nexus 7 3G (Tilapia) Help

Hi everyone. Bare with me a little. I'm new at this and cannot post in ROM thread because I am a noob. I've done a lot of reading and learned how to pretty much break everything but I did manage to get it working again in stock form. I am trying to set everything up for AutoDroid and a car installation and cannot seem to get it working.
First things first, I successfully rooted the Nexus 7, installed custom recovery (TWRP), Installed SuperSU, installed the Kangaroo Kernel, and flashed the AutoDroid ROM. That's where I am at this point. The problem comes now where I don't have volume buttons on the nav bar and see no settings menu to change any options. I manually installed Power Event Manager and gave it access via SuperSU. The tablet doesn't go to deep sleep when removing power.
Current Settings:
*see attachment*
Does the tab need to be in host mode w/ OTG for PEM to work?
Where are the settings for the ROM?
If I don't have volume etc on nav bar does that mean it wasn't flashed properly?
What did I do wrong?
Sorry for all the beginner questions but I've gone thru hell with this. Have learned a ton tho. I managed to remove the OS and all recoveries so I had to reimage the tab w/ stock OS.
TL;DR: I suck at computers. I need help.

The problem is the ROM is supposed to add volume buttons to the nav bar but I am not seeing them. I cannot see any ROM setting app or button to alter its settings so I am not sure if I did something incorrectly.
