[Q] Gingerbread GMail apk? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had some trouble with GMail not synching properly anymore (it was only showing mails a couple of days old, but newer the newest ones) and since delete cache/data of the app did not work I removed it.
Bad idea, since I had to discover GMail is not available on the market for DHD/Gingerbread.
I found an apk on my HDD but it seems to be older than what I had before. Does anyone know what GMail version is the latest for Gingerbread?
I also tried extracting it from Virtuous Affinity zip-file, but couldn't find the apk. Is it hidden in some strangely named apk?

How about you just upgrade your phone a little to get a proper app.

Is there a smooth and 100% working ICS + Sense ROM for the DHD? Virtuous is still beta and though it's fast it's not as smooth as Gingerbread (from what I read). The same applies for most other ROMs posted here. Some parts not working, minor performance issues and so on.
So I don't feel like updating just because GMail isn't available from the market.
edit: If anyone ever needs it, I think 2.3.6 is the latest version for GB: Download

Try downloading any stock ROM, and see if you can extract it.

New market?

I know there is an .apk around for it, but am just wondering if the new market is something Google is slowing rolling out to everyone?
When i was running a sense based rom the market automatically updated itself to the new one, but now am running Oxygen Gingerbread and so far it's still on the old market, as i said i know there is a .apk for the new market i could use to update, but am just wondering if will update itself at some point?

problem with swype Virtuous 9.5

Hi i just flashed my device with newest Virtuous rom and i have problem with swype.
Works great, bud i wanted to instal another wersion with other language, now application forecloses, is there a way to put my custom swype app ?
Well i bet its fc because the swype there useing if from the orginal stock rom that came with the phone made to work on sense. I also had that problem when installing a diffrent swype version... i think it will work if u use a diffrent rom like villian rom for instance. Well thats what i think

I've even tried to adb push the apk, but this won't help. I really Like the Virtuous rom, because long battery life, its quick, and the newest version have nice percentage battery indicator. It's really shame that swype don't work. Perhaps i should ask Rom developer to not add swype to the next version of this rom, because many people that don't want to use english language in swype will encounter the same problem

[Q] roms & bt keyboards

I have desire hd (rooted 2.3) & igo stowaway think outside bt keyboard, which has never connected; before rooting etc too.
Anyway, I got this app off the market because some comments said they'd got this same keyboard working with this app, but they had normal desire, rooted & running oxygen rc7 2.3 Rom. (can't get this Rom for hd)
So does anybody know what its got that I haven't, & further more a hd Rom that'd work for me?
Thanks in advance
CM7 seems to work with everything i throw at it
Ok ta, I'll try it.
One question though - I've downloaded the cm7 file from Rom manager, but it's named 'update cm7....' & is only 90mb. Is this the right Rom to flash? (i haven't had a cm Rom on my phone before)
Yes it should be fine. CM7 ROMs are well under 100 MB.
CM7 rom flashed.
Initial impressions are... i love it.
Just need to work out how to get onto the market.
Do i need to do the google apps thing too? (yes - how do i then install it?)
Not tried the bluetooth keyboard yet (might still need this app off the market)
You will need to flash GAPPS to get the Market. Look in the CM7 thread for the link.
Think outside igo stowaway bt keyboard now up & running )
No other apps needed, works staight off CM7 RC2.
Over the moon...

[Q] Netflix on G2 CM7 not working.

Anyone on CM7 having issues with netflix streaming video. I am only getting audio.
same
10char
same. I get audio for a few seconds then kicked back to the previous screen.
Same here. Running CM 7.0.3. Tried both stock kernel and pershoot. Still no luck. A buddy of mine still is running CM7-RC2 and it works fine, so I am sure there is something somewhere that can be fixed.
Can anyone test on CM6?
same. at first i thoguht it was a kernel issue (im running pyro/smartass) - but it is not.
Where did you guys install the Netflix app from? I am running CM 7.0.3, but unable to find it in Market.
Update: I found it
same. audio for a few seconds on a black screen then the player quits back to the app menu.
app is on market website then pushed to phone for me but only audio for me
backed up first running latest night build and latest stable releases. updated flash to 10.3 still audio and no video.
I'm running CM7.0.0 using pershoot's .36 kernel. I got audio but no video. Upgraded flash player from 10.2 to 10.3 with no change. I have only tested it over wifi.
I read on one of the engadget comments that someone was running it successfully on cm7, but don't remember what phone.

I tried on xboarder's pure GB rom, no joy. Audio but no vid.
Restored to tmo factory shipped rom, worked fine.
2.3 issue?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App
Sorry, noob question: If I wanted to go back to stock to try out the app, do I just flash the stock rom/original ship rom?
I used market enabler to get it in canada, and it only works on my 2.2 stock sense rom, not cm7
I'm also having the same isssue with cm7 stable 7.0.2. I read the description and it had the device and the rom version so I'm assuming that for now the phone has to have the original stock rom
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
So I'm guessing only stock roms work? Ugh

I'm sure cyanogen will fix it. I'll create an issue on the tracker later, but if somebody beats me to it post the url so we can star it.

i heard some chatter that it worked on cm7 rc2 - hopefully someone can confirm. I posted a logcat of the error over on the cm nightly thread in the development forum. hopefully someone can patch this?
if you are on the latest cm stable build please logcat the error and submit a bug report on the cm bug tracker.
I found this from Koush's twitter to get the app working for the nexus s running cm7. Any way we could tailor this to help us out?

Reverted to rc2 as per daveerickson, is working perfectly

[Q] How to make the most out the official GB

Hi all,
I can't help it, but I just prefer the HTC roms above the custom ones.
For me there are two downfalls in the use of the official HTC GB.
1- the missing of Sense 2.1
2- individual stock apps aren't updated to there latest versions. (gallery, internet etc.)
The whole memory issue I will leave out of this discussion for now.
I will probably try to root my desire with the new tool from Revolutionary any time soon. After that I will try to fix the two issues.
Where can I find, and how do I install the latest versions of the stock apps. Dose anyone keeps a database of some sort of these updates stock apps? Can I install these on the current sense 2.0 or do I have to have 2.1 for this?
I tried to dissect a sense rom, but it's just not working out. I don't know which apk's are what.
Several threads speak of removing certain apps, but I can't seem to find much about updating the apk's.
Tnx a lot!
