New unrelesed Gmail 4.2.
which includes pinch-to-zoom in emails along with a new swipe-to-delete/archive feature. They may sound like small improvements, but they are all things that you will quickly realize that you can no longer live without.
So in order to use this, you have to have root, because you are going to be moving around some system level files. You can try to do this all in adb, but I’m still not even sure that that is possible. If you are brave enough to dive into this, let’s do it. It should take all of 5 minutes.
-Instructions:
1. Download the Gmail2.apk from above and place it on your internal storage.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Create a nandroid backup, just to be safe.
4. Once your phone has rebooted, delete or move any Gmail.apk on your device.
*You’ll need to look in /system/app for Gmail.apk and /data/app for com.google.android.gm-1.apk.
5. Once moved/deleted, you should reboot your phone.
6. Once rebooted, you can try simply installing Gmail2.apk on your phone.
7. If that doesn’t work, put the file in your SDK/Platform-Tools folder and type this in adb:
adb install Gmail2.apk
8. You should now have the new Gmail 4.2 up and running.
*Note – Depending on the ROM, there may be Gmail .odex files that will need to be deleted as well.

An easier way I found was:
1. Backup Gmail 1.0 and Gmail 4.1 with titanium backup
2. Uninstall the above with titanium backup
3. Reboot phone
4. Install renamed gmail2.apk
Win!

Thanks a lot Buddy its working great ... really wanted pinch to zoom function .. this should have been in GMail app long time ago.
anyways thanks again ...
One quick question : when this version actually launches on market it will not come has an update since this is already installed right, but what happens when there is a update to this version will market detect it and update it accordingly??
I know i am asking way too early but just curious ..

Whenever it comes out in the market, just erase this one and install it from there, that way you will always get updates. This is just so you can have a taste of goodness before its prime time, enjoy
Works like a charm! Thanks very much!

I downloaded Facebook from the market and it works just fine. I probably downloaded it the day the retail unit came out or possibly the day after. I have updated it to the latest version too.
The attached camera app, MIUIcamera-signed.apk will let you see the MIUI Camera on CM7.
Installation is simple, just install end enjoy!
Thanks to csdj92 for figuring out that I had to use the signed version and thanks to kaos217 for posting the signed apk (attached) (originally posted here)
If you're like me and hate having multiple "default" camera apps, using an app such as Root Explorer or Astro File Manager you can go to system/app/ and rename Camera.apk to something else, or delete it all together
Cheers!
Okay, so before anyone on here insults me for asking this, I've tried searching it out and I've found that other people have been able to do this (specifically, on the Evo) but I haven't been able to get it going.
Since MIUI & CM7 are both AOSP build, shouldnt I be able to remove CM7's camera and replace it with MIUI's? I don't like CM7's camera implementation, but I LOVE MiUI's camera.
From what I gathered in this thread, I had to backup the stock camera app, delete it. Rename the MIUI Camera to camera.apk, place it in the system/app/ folder. Then I had to long press on the camera, set permissions to 644 (read) and reboot.
I reboot but I get an error saying Com.Miui.Camera has force closed. Any help?
Attached is the MIUI Camera APK
Try downloading the signed apk on the second page from the OG post. I tried with the one on your post got the error, then tried with the signed apk and it worked fine.

I tried the signed APK and it doesnt work either.
Scratch that, when I tried restoring with Root Manager it or pushing it via ADB, it didn't work, but when I installed it like a regular package, it worked just fine. Disabling the CM7 camera now

I never said that AOSP's camera was good either. I like MIUI's camera.
What a real shame about the camera, and also the shocking battery life off 7.2!

Oke i know that the origenel Facebook from the market doesen't work that well on the Tab.
So i have tryed to install an old version of Facebook, wiche i have also on my SGSII, This version is the only one for me that gets all the newsfeed etc!
So i dowload the Facebook.apk (1.5.4) Then i used root explorer to move the apk.file to system/apps, then i clicked on the file and choose install!
It works great on my tab 10.1 (GT-7510) its works smooth and fast!

Stay tuned...It might just be one of my settings somewhere, give me a minute.
EDIT 2: Yep it was, I fixed it.
Looks like its working great, thanks for the download.

I find it easier to just adb install it since my GT is already connected to the computer and I'm on the computer. No need to take all the extra time to move to SD card, open an app, move the file to system, then install it.
For those of you who don't know how to do this:
1. Connect the device to your computer with USB Debugging enabled
2. Open command prompt and type "cd c:\android-sdk\platform-tools" (or wherever your Android SDK adb files are)
3. Type "adb devices" and make sure it's reading your device
4. Put the .apk into the root of your C: drive if you haven't already. (of course you don't HAVE to if you know what you're doing and are comfortable doing it)
5. Type in command prompt "adb install c:\Facebook_for_Android_1.5.4.apk"
6. Wait for it to install successfully, unplug your device, and you should have the App in your App Drawer.
Note1: If you already have a facebook app installed, you might have to uninstall before doing this.
Note2: Don't add the quotes when typing in Command Prompt, just type what's inside the quotes.

I havent had that issue. Being rooted shouldnt change anything because it doesnt need superuser permissions.
Well first i instald it like the normal way, it worked... Except the notifications, when i looked furthure i saw that the apk file did't show up in system/apps.
Show the instalation worked but diden't push the file tru!
So then i removed the app, and thoke the apk file and copy it to system/apps by using root explorer. Then i clicked the apk file in system/apps and select instal, basecly its same instalation but now youre sure the file is pushed where it shoud be right?

Correct. Does it work fine after doing that?
Why would it matter at all if you install this normally or push into system/app? I don't think with an app like FB that it matters...installing the apk normally seems to be the same as getting it from the Market..
best FB app is the browser. no need for an extra app to access FB, IMO.

Hey Guys!! I am really happy to inform you that google now launcher is fully compatible with our galaxy grand quattro/win.. pls follow the below steps carefully and enjoy the google experience!
1. go to the link http://d-h.st/f6b and download launcher 4.4 .zip.
2. Now download 'libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.zip' attached to this thread and extract it.
Copy the 'libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so' to system/lib in your mobile (since i use Jasp Next Level Rom, i made use of Root Browser in "ROM TOOLBOX LITE".)
overwrite the file if need be...
You can skip this step as i heard this is not necessary but i did follow it
3.Extract the launcher 4.4.zip...Now First install velvet.apk and then PrebuiltGmsCore.apk and lastly GoogleHome.apk.. dont worry if the google search force closes.. carry on..
4.Now after u install the GoogleHome, go to playstore and update ur google search and google playservices....
And thats it everything works perfectly!!
source:-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506488
Even without that it was working properly man I am on Google experience launcher for 3 months now there haven't been any problem
recognizer zip is not required at all.
Start with Google Search 3.2+, and Google Now Launcher initializes itself.
I've been using it since it first came out on nexus 5.
Exactly man same here
Duh! I feel like a complete idiot now... :crying: Anyways i hope this wil help those who aren't aware of it...

I finally got the stock LG Music app to install on the AT&T H910 last night!
Download one of the stock music APKs that are floating around. Then go to the Play Store and download APK Editor by SteelWorks.
Open APK Editor and tap Select an APK File. Navigate to your download folder and tap the music player APK and select Full Edit (Resource re-build). Once it opens, touch Manifest in the lower right corner. Then don't edit anything. Just hit Save in the upper right corner. The APK Editor then rebuilds and re-signs the APK. Clear out of the ad that serves up next and hit install at the bottom. It should install now that it's been signed.
Enjoy!
I tried this but was unable to get it to work with any of the .apk files in this page https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/stock-music-app-t3488769 do you happen to have a link to the music apk you downloaded?
Try this one. I either used this one or one I extracted from another ROM
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B72...w?usp=drivesdk
If I have time tonight I can try to share the signed APK the app produced.
there was no app in the link, but i did take your advice and downloaded a rom and extracted that app from there. worked like a charm.... thank you!

Seems to be the case for other stock LG apps floating around the forum like Calendar, Email, Gallery and so on. You gotta have root and change permissions to install these apps and make em work properly! Only old version of Calculator work ok and works in sideapps, just hope that XDA masterminds will come up with a nice custom rom cotaining all of the stock apps working no prob!

If you tried the link in the OP I believe they are taken down or just got removed. I'll send you a PM for the lg music all you have to do is just download it and install. As for the other apps I have those as well. I can send them to you but you will have to do the same steps as the Op stated for those because I don't actually need them at this time.
