Thank you very much!
I list them below:
1. Google Market (Want it most)
2. Google Maps
3. Google Search
4. Google Latitude
etc.
if Google Market is too hard to get, at least i want Google Maps.
God bless you!

Of cause, come on~
The Google Android Phone without Google Services makes me feel been F**Ked

I think the russian 2.1 firmware includes chinese. If installing the apk's fail you could try flashing that. Don't forget to backup your build.prop just in case you want to go back in the future.

How flash to other firmware, as i am already 2.1?

You can flash back to 1.6-there is a thread about it in x8 android development
Then change your customization code and then use seus or pc companion to update..

Yep tried to find it in the market but it isn't there. I think I read somewhere that it isn't in my market because I am European.

You must go to the firmware post, and download the app removed package (is in bottom of the post).

Thanks I looked in that thread earlier already but back then there wasn't a download link for the gmail apk.
Thanks

Back up your rom just in case the program goes bad so you can restore to a working cm10

YES THIS WORKED!
How I did it -
Download the zip file located in the comments Wipe data for both Facebook and Contacts (MAKE SURE TO EXPORT CONTACTS FIRST)... put on internal sd card and flash with CWM by Installing zip file. Then reboot phone and set up contacts profile... then go to facebook - sign in and it will ask to sync with all or sync with existing and it updates with pics and emails and all!

You can't have multiple whatsapp account's on one device. Because one account replaces the other one.

You can do it. I have multiple Whatsapp numbers on my phone. You cannot use them simultaneously though.
You need to work with profiles using Titanium Backup.

Install gbwhatsapp

I need to use the older version of Gmail

Hi,
for compatibility with other applications on the tablet I need to use the older version of Gmail.
I know where to download it.
But I do not know how to do it automatically has not updated to the latest version of Google Play.
The application can somehow separate from Google Play?

Yes you can sever the app from the Play Store by re-signing the app. I can do for you but, which version of Gmail do you want it done to?

You don't need to "re-sign" anything.
Download the apk from apkmirror. Uninstall Gmail, or if it's a system app go to settings- apps- Gmail and uninstall updates to replace with factory version your phone came with. Install Gmail version you downloaded. Immediately go into play store for Gmail, click 3 dots at top right and uncheck the box to auto update.
If anyone modifies an apk and gives it to you, I would not trust it. Could have a backdoor or keylogger or something.

Thanks for providing an alternative.
Though, I never stated that resigning it was the only way. I only knew that way and thought it was a simplistic way of doing it.
Now I know of another way.
