Hi...
The test version on next Gmail 4.2 is out and here is the way how you can get in on your phone?
1. Open TB (Titanium Backup)
2. Take backup of Gmail app then uninstall it from TB itself
3. Reboot in recovery
4. Flash the zip (http://d-h.st/1C9)
5. Reboot and enjoy
p.s. - Its running fine on my phone and in case you face any issue then delete the Gmail2.apk from system/app and restore the old gmail from TB.
Thanks to Ron Amadeo who posted this over AndroidPolice
---In case anyone has any issue with this...please pm me.
cheers,
erpurohit
Thank erpurohit!
I'd do everything in your steps, except not uninstall the older gmail app.
I uninstalled first time and then kept getting update notification from Play Store (i.e. it didn't recognize the v4.2 installed).
Then I re-installed V4.2 without unintstalling V4.1 and no more notification.
flashed the zip, without unistalling old gmail because titanium backup kept crashing..
now I'm stuck at the remics-JB logo

I think you can revert back to original one by using the backup created during flashing and saved in your sdcard/universalflasher
or try clearing the dalvik, cache.
I just renamed the old one to gmail.bak and copied the new file to /system/app folder thenc hanged the permissions to 644 and rebooted it works like a charm

you can also try to rename the file using aroma installer in recovery.

Is the problem fixed bro?
You probasbly had another issue to begin with.
tb contantly crashing on backup is a bad sign.
Good luck bro!
Pinch to zoom? Awesome! I think it is a bummer that it took google that long to implement the feature.
Thanks!

I flashed this rom(I know it's beta) but today it just froze on me. I went to reboot to see if that would help and the phone got stuck on the HTC EVO 4G white screen, so I pulled the battery, hit the power button and nothing still. Just gets stuck on the same screen.
Now, I'm restoring using a backup.
I'd just like to know what happened. I was using it like normal, except I enabled 4G today.
sounds like a rare issue, if you can replicate it with the cm nightlies (being that gginggerbread is discontinued) I'm positive that they would love to see a logcat of it
I unfortunately dont have a fix or knowledge of one for that issue
I agree, wipe everything and flash the latest nightly and then immediately the latest Gapps

Why was it discontinued?
it merged with cm nightlies, they have 4g now
Thanks for all the info.
I've flashed the nightly cm7 and gapps and the gmail app is missing. I can't find it in the market either.
I should probably search the cm7 threads?
reboot your phone, gmail should reappear
you did flash the 20110120 gb gapps, or the one rom manager downloads for it?

I flashed the 20110120 gb gapps. The one in the link from the guy above.
EDIT: Rebooting didn't do the job.
did you flash over your gginggerbread install or start from scratch?
I'm thinking I flashed over?
I installed the latest version of Amon Ra's recovery, wiped everything, wiped cache then dalvik.
After that I flashed the rom.

Whenever you get stuck on white screen, boot into recovery and wipe dalvik and cache before rebooting. If that doesn't work, reboot into recovery wipe dalvik and cache and reflash rom. This usually works for me.

Do you use Titanium Backup? If so, open app list and look for "Market App Installer 1.0". Click on it and hit defrost. Now open up market. You should now be presented with list of GAPPS you want installed. See if you can click Gmail.

Yes, I used Titanium Backup. Just followed your instructions and nothing still.
EDIT: Should I kill Market first then follow you instructions?

Try clearing data in Market menu>settings>applications>manage apps
If this doesn't work, you might have to do a complete wipe and reinstall.

Sh*t didn't work. I just a complete wipe before installing this from ggingerbread-6.
I was thinking maybe I should use Calkulin's format all?

Just did the format all. Now, I've been on the HTC EVO 4G screen for about 3 minutes so far.
using CWM i wipe everything and then do a factory reset and it says complete and I try to flash different roms, (of course doing a factory reset between each one) but all of my data is there every time start it up. My gmail app has crashed on every rom and I can't get it to work even with my nandroid backup. ( all my installed apps are still there as well) what do I do to fix this so gmail will work again please?
I had problems with CWM also in that it was not wiping the phone properly. Installed TWRP and then no problems.

Default android calendar stops responding and will not load, and any apps that attempt to use the default calendar info from system cause the same prompt to occur.
Any one know a fix for this, or can post the most recent android calendar.apk for our tmo sgs4?
No problems with Calendar app here. First try wiping data for Calendar in Application Manger. If that don't work try wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery.

Wiping data/cache/dalvik, should i factory reset and then go over and wipe everything before trying again?
Can someone please help. Running a rooted GS4 4.3. Made a backup with Rom Manager. was trying some zips to try and get WALLET with tap and pay working, well no go. so I did a full wipe, then booted into recovery and restored the back up I had. Now everything just force closes, making the phone pretty much unusable. There is no Fix Permissions in RM 6.0.2.2 to see if that will help. can someone please help!!!
Thank you
Rick

Try this, before you restore the nandroid backup in cwm recovery wipe data, system, cache, dalvik cache
and last but not least do a "factory reset".
Once that's done go a head and restore the nandroid backup in cwm recovery.
There is a very good chance it will work just fine after doing that.
Good luck!

Ok so now in CWM Touch i cannot see my backup. I can see it when I'm in Rom Manager though. I did make a copy of the backup via Rom Manager server and saved it to my computer. How do I restore this back to my phone so CWM can see it.
This really sucks. I can not figure out how to get my backup into the secure section /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup. I tried to manually put it there using Root Explorer, but that doesnt work.. Really need help here.

Maybe try to restore from Rom Manager. Maybe it will restore through their server the same way you backed up. Just a thought.Good luck.

It only gives me an option to download to my computer not from the computer to the phone.

From the short search that I did, it appears the restore function is only available with the Premium version.

I have the Premium. It is only one way it looks like. It makes a Zip file, which from my research, is a flashable zip. However i try to flash it and it fails;

I think you have to flash it through your CWM recovery. Try to boot into recovery and hit install.Seems there's a backup and restore function through Rom Manager.
You may want to reflash your kernel too, just for the heck of it.

Hello,
on my girlfriends S4 Mini all apps force close imidiately. She said it started one morning and didn't stop since then. I tried flashing a new nightly and fresh gapps, format cache/dalvik but it didn't help. I just could installeverything again but She needs backups of some apps (data) and sms. Unfortunately, Titanium Backup is not working either.
Does anyone know a way to fix the force close or how to backup appdata / sms without using apps?

Hi there. Just solved a similar problem with one of my friend. I wiped data+cache+davik or say factory reset, from custom recovery and problem solved. But cant say about the backup thing.

I have solved the problem now:
-Made a Nandroid backup
-Wiped dalvik, cache, data, system
-Clean install
-Used Titanium Backup (Menu/Extract from Nandroid Backup) to restore sms and appdata (had to install the apps out of playstore first, then restore only data, not the app)
-Works.
