[Q] GMAIL in the Market

Hey everyone.
Is there anything that needs to be done on the phone side to get the new gmail app from the market. I am running SR 3.0 RC3. The app will download but when it tries to install it says Install Unsuccessful.
Any Ideas,
Mark

try removing your current gmail apk from your system/app folder, then install.

Download titanium backup, uninstall your existing gmail app, reboot your device then download the new gmail from the market.

If you are running the sense version, there is a SR 3.2 RC3 update in rom manager that you can flash over your current install and updates the gmail. This is also detailed in the skyraider thread. I'd search the skyraider threads before starting new ones because if you have a question, it's likely somebody has already asked it.

the file in ROM manager says 'corrupt zip file'
I also tried uninstalling from Titanium and installing from the market, neither of them worked.

For anyone who is using the new gmail app is it any good? worth going through the minor trouble? Thanks

gmail
yes its worth it. to me the pictures load instantly, that alone is worthwhile. it annoyed me to have to wait and sometimes double tapp the pic. just do what athenslb57 said 3 posts up its way quicker and so easy a kid could do it.

[Q] What does Google Backup, backup and restore?

Just curious, what does Google Backup backup? I assumed some settings like WiFi, Wallpaper, Marketplace apps. Is there anything else?
I have seen that wallpaper, contacts are backup and restored properly. Even Wifi is restored properly.
But never seen Market apps downloaded . Only once I have experienced this restored.
Is there any setting or file which needs to be edited to make it work smooth?

Market aps get restored always for me!
n i dont like it! so i keep restore off...

It's a great feature that destroys iTunes and its silly need for tethering to backup (until iOS5 i guess).. but it lacks any sort of control or viewing. Would be nice if you could goto your google account and see what has been backed up and whether or not you want to clean the list for future restores.

In stock rom of SEA15, only wallpaper,wifi password,contacts are restored. It does not restore the apps which I had installed from market. How to make those app automatically get downloaded on stock rom sea15?

in miui.us versions of ROM, the apps are automatically downloaded when you give your google account details in begining. In stock rom it does not happen

What ROM were you on and what were you going to? I've found if you've wiped and got to a new build (e.g. 4.0.3 to 4.0.4) then it doesn't automatically do it

thanks for answering!
Im using AOKP, 21 before and now 22 (403), always used this after the stock rom, with AOKP have never been restored :/

ok thank u if this is the only way to fix then i will

I think it has something to do with your Google account. I have the same problem and it was ages ago the phone auto installed my market app. I do change rom quite often and i do not like TB to restore apps.
In your goggle account, I don't remember exactly where you can se a list of your devices and their apps. Same device can show as different ones in your account probably due to different build.prop or something like that.
So my theory is that you can only have a limited amount of devices with auto restored apps. Or Google doesn't recognice your device as the same one after you have flashed it with some custom rom.

Google auto backup/reinstall of apps

Hello all,
I remember something about google automatically backing up all my apps when I first set up my phone and/or market access. I have also heard of apps being automatically reinstalled after members on this board have flashed new roms and wiped all data. I have never had this happen to me but it would be super convenient.
Is there anything I can do to activate that feature?
Thanks.

Yep install a aosp ROM .... cm9 aokp codename miui etc

if you are not running a cyn mod or AKOP, I suggest you use Titanium Backup to rip the apks into an archive where you can reinstall them if anything happens.

Thanks both but I installed cm9 and that didn't happen. Any ideas?

I've been a little confused on the exact procedure myself, and have felt super lucky when it just...works. lol
I do know this: if your on a gingerbread rom or even ics, once you let the market update to Google play after a wipe/flash, log in to your Gmail, press menu>my apps> slide over one pane and you will see every app you've ever downloaded under that Gmail. I found apps from like 2009 lmfao

Do apps sync when flashing a new ROM?

Might sound like a stupid question. I just unlocked, rooted, and flashed Jelly Belly, and was wondering if there was a quick way to recover your apps. The only way I've known is to login to play.google.com and send all the apps I want manually through the web interface. Is it possible to have your apps auto sync once you login to your Google account for the first time upon setup? Maybe some other way. It just pains me to manually have to go to the Google Play Store web interface from my computer and send each app one at a time to my phone. Thanks guys.

during the time when you set it up and logged into google it should of asked you to restore apps if it didnt well then your going to have to do them one by one unless of course you had titanium backup or something

I think while I was still on stock ICS and did a full wipe for a new kernel when I rebooted all my apps started downloading instantly as soon as I signed into Google. Since then thought that hasn't happened. I just go to the play store and look at my app purchase history and download the ones I had. Would like to know how to set up the auto feature, I think it might have to do with the Currents folder I have that is being backed up to Google now.

Yeah, that's the issue I'm having. I know a friend of mine doesn't have this issue. Everytime he flashes a new ROM his apps are restored automatically. On the other hand, when I sign into my Google account for the first time, my apps aren't synced and downloaded automatically. Everything else is, like contacts, etc get restored, but not apps for some reason. Any idea why my Google account isn't syncing my apps?

Just backup user apps and data through adb or a toolkit and restore when done. I've flashed all of the stock update leaks using this method, up and running in no time with everything back to normal. Don't backup system apps and data unless are reflashing the same ROM.

Can Titanium Backup do this?
