Hey everybody
I found a link this morning for the new Android 5.0 leaked Google apps: http://http://phandroid.com/2014/10...y-music-and-more-leaked-android-5-0-lollipop/
I've simply installed the Messaging apk and it is working really well on my Rooted AT&T Note 3.
I attempted to install the new Gmail app, but I could not get it to work. I was getting FCs and had to jump back to the current Gmail.
Has anyone been able to get the Gmail apk to work?
Uninstall Gmail using System App Remover. Boot into recovery, clear cache & davlik, fix permissions, reboot, then install it. Those are the steps I followed.

Yeah, what @reesedizan said. It worked for me after simply installing it, trying to open it (it'll force close), clear app cache and data, and rebooting.
This is cool. Going to check out the 5.0 apps.

I have tried both your, and @Justinchi 's method. I'm still getting force closes. Do I need to do something to the apk in root explorer?

I've got Messaging working like a charm.
The only app that I'm working on is Gmail. I can't get it to work for the life of me.

Guides seem to recommend people to move the Gmail APK to /system/lib/ (?) but that seems Android 5 stuff.
I moved it to /system/app and renamed it to Gmail2.apk, changed permissions to rw-r-r- and restarted, cleaned cache and dalvik, all fine now and working well here on CM11 M11 SM-N9005.

Did you remove any of the updates? Or delete/remove your OTHER Gmail? or did you simply just rename the other gmail2.apk?
I left my other gmail. Didn't uninstall or remove (that's probably my mistake). I renamed the other apk, the I moved the new apk to system/app and renamed and changed permissions. Rebooted, Cleared Cache and Dalvik. STILL FC.
Yup, though remember im on CM11, not stock sammy.
Btw, what did you use to do all that?

Here is a breakdown of my steps:
Uninstalled Gmail app updates through application manager (Stock rooted Touchwiz)
Removed Gmail from the phone with System App Safe Remover (from PlayStore)
Installed the new Gmail apk.
Used SafeStrap to reboot to recovery and cleared Cache, Dalvik, and Fixed Permissions.
Rebooted.
Pushed apk into System/app.
Renamed to Gmail2.apk
Set permissions (rw-r--r--)
Restarted
Opened
FCs for days.
I'm thinking about throwing in the towel on this until they actually release it.

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...
from the "CRACKED" speedy EVO engine... Via Tapatalk.
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.

I did this the first time i downloaded the .apk and it didn't work for me. That's why I had to do it the long way...
Are you on a Sense ROM?
Good to know that it installed fine for you.
Does it bother you that there are 2 Gallery apps when you load up jelly bean and gapps?
yeah me too.
So what i did, was mad sure i had titanium backup root on my sdcard.
I then installed Jelly Bean, and let it boot up (i did not flash gapps)
I installed titanium, and then i uninstalled the gallery that came with JB.
rebooted into recovery, flashed gapps.
and bang. no more double gallery
I had four at one point the other day, hahaha. But yeah, it's strangely weird that there's no consistency in the naming scheme.
So no ideas which one is safe to uninstall?

I used Titanium to see which was the older version and uninstalled that one.
In system/app you'll find two apk for gallery:
GalleryGoogle.apk
Gallery2.apk
They are the same, but GalleryGoogle.apk is the one with picasa sync. Gallery2.apk will only show you the photos stored in your device
Hello all,

you can do a dirty flash (without wiping) so you won't lose all your settings. it's usually not recommended becuase it can cause FC, but since you're already getting them, I'd say that its worth a shot

i'm sure there's some way to put the Hangouts app back into the app folder and change it's permissions, but i always end up screwing that up lol. that's all the advice i have. good luck :good:
here is the process to "push" a system app to your phone.
1. download the ROM or GAPPS that hangouts originally came from to your sdcard or extsdcard if you don't already have it
2. using root explorer or es file explorer, navigate to system/app in the rom or GAPPS zip file and extract hangouts.apk
3. copy or move hangouts.apk into system/app on your phone
4. change permissions to -rw-r--r--
5. reboot and it should work fine
Just wanted to mention that the official Android L launcher works on our Tabs
I have attached the .apk
You have to change the build.prop to get the new UI
set ro.build.version.codename to L and reboot
It works also as a system app, no FC's.
Supports 4.2.2 / 4.3 / 4.4.2
Note: You have to update/download the latest Google Search app and Google Mail may force closing
Proceed with caution, you may end up having boot-loops !

UA,
hi i would ask that you amend your post to mention this launcher requires google search to be functional.
As per your instructions I did so and the launcher does not register as system app without google search,
and on regular install call for updated google search to function.
thank you for reading.

It seems like, you screwed up inside the build.prop
Or, it only works as a system app on 4.4.2, that would be bad.
I will check that, thank you for trying and sorry if you got any problems because of me.

well, i used root explorer to edit build.prop, and i didnt change anything except switch REL with L...
but i guess build.prop was screwed somehow, it managed to stay on for a while before the reboot a few times (for about half a minute), but it kept giving the fc error screens for play services, mail, etc, and then restarted again.
I will try it in a few minutes!

When first time I installed this launcher I changed the build.prob as u said....
And after a week I came to know that gmail is get fc's every time
I saw the log of gmail and came to know that the changes made in the build.prob coz of that gmail app getting fc...
Then I changed it to og value in build.prob
From then everything is working totally fine
So I don't think that we should change the codename, without changing it everything is working fine...even gmail app
