[Corinacakes]

Thanks for the invert. Is there a reason why some decompiled xml's act like they aren't?

Bedtime Corina. That's a .9.png you have open there! And a whole row of tabs of more pngs! Isn't it like 5am where you are?? If its morning for you, GRAB SOME COFFEE! Lol.

I've done that too, btw.

Gmail thread... For market issues, check out the link below in my sig. has worked for most.

 

[MAD450r]

my bad

sorry about that. I'll move it

I removed it now to go to market thread

Sorry no screenshots for this one but I am headed out the door for some family time and just wanted to get this out there.... hopefully you guys will understand...

There is one major change though, now the UNREAD messages in inbox have bold text and go to regular after you read them... Since this is the case, I have made the inbox completely black.... If some have a problem, I can go back and adjust the backgrounds like my previous version to help, just let me know....

I will also be getting in touch with the themers that want to find out the smali code for the inbox text.... just pm me and I will get it to you....

Make a backup!!!!!
Be sure that Gmail.apk is in /system
Make sure you don't have the update in /data
Download
Install through recovery
Enjoy.....

Also, this zip is for clockwork and spr, I don't know if it will work with rzr??

Awesome, ec! You rock!!! By the way, if it will work with SPR, it will definitely work for RZR.

Thanks E.C. it’s beautiful. Another fantastic job! Also it flashed just fine via RZrecovery.

Anyone know if this works on the Droid X?

If you're rooted I don't see why not ... first uninstall the current Gmail (I use root explorer to delete system apps) and reboot. Then drop this apk on you sd card and install it with astro (or a similar file manager app)

Being that Gmail is available on the market, I would assume it will work for for all devices ...

I tried your way and everyother way I could think of. Deleted Gmail from system/app. Reboot. Install from SD...Nothing. Then Deleted all traces of Gmail and used clockwork...nothing. Got Gmail from the Market, Clockwork install hoping it would overwrite...Nothing. I really wanted this too.

Delete the Market version, drop this into system/app with root explorer, then set the permissions on it to rw-r--r--. After this, reboot.

That worked perfect. Thank you very much. When Google updates Gmail will I have any problems since i dont have the version from the Market or because I changed the permissions?

 

[stetsonaw]

Awesome, and no, the permissions were changed to the same as every other system app, and also the same as any apps in the data/app folder. When GMail updates, it will install the updates (that are uninstallable from the Market or Settings). Something to do though, go into your My Apps list in the Market and turn auto-update off for GMail. You'll get the notification, but won't update on its own.

 

[mudvayne622]

Um i deleted Gmail from the Market as per your instructions so it is no longer under the My Apps section. Did I miss something?

 

[stetsonaw]

It may show up back in there again, some of the themed apps i have in my system folder do. It may be a ways down your list... nonetheless, if it updates automatically, you can go into the market and uninstall the updates.

Dumb question: I download this to a PC and then unzip to locate the Gmail.apk which is what I will replace the existing (assuming there is one) Gmail.apk then boot into recovery & install the zip? That all sound about right or do I leave the Gmail.apk file if there is already one in there? Just want to make sure I fully understand the process on this one before I attempt.
