GS3 (d2att) running Clockworkmod and Cyanogenmod 11-20140812-nightly-d2lte
Attempting to install blacked out version of Gmail but need to remove existing version of Gmail but I get the error "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed."
My search came up with most folks looking to remove their Gmail account not the app. The few I saw trying to remove the app were not rooted. Surely I am not the first person with this issue.
So I tried to remove Gmail with Titanium Backup but it just reinstalls itself automatically without prompting.
Tried to freeze then uninstall with no change.
Turned off my data and wifi and still have the same result.
Removed my Google account but still the same result.
What am I doing wrong? I just want to remove Gmail and install a different version. I have never had so much trouble.
Thx.

I'd use a file Explorer and go into two different folders. System/app and data/app if you find anything labeled Gmail delete it and reboot. That should solve your problem

Found Gmail apk in system/app. Worked like a charm.
Thanks!

I tried to update the Facebook for Android app in the market to the newest version just now, but after it downloaded it wouldn't install, saying something about the package not being signed correctly (or something along those lines). So I decided to try to uninstall my current Facebook first and then install the new one thinking that would work. I backed up Facebook using Titanium Backup and uninstalled it. Then I went to the market and downloaded it again. However, it wouldn't install once again (saying "Incompatible update" this time). So I think, OK whatever, I'll just restore my old Facebook, which worked fine. But when I try to restore it using Titanium Backup, that won't work either! It just says "Application not installed." So what do I do? This is the first time that Titanium Backup wouldn't restore something for me. Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks in advance.
I'm rooted, running CM7 Stable, MattedBlues theme, and faux123 CFS kernel.
I'm not sure if this will help you. Here is a copy of the facebook APK, version 1.5.2, before the last update that messed everything up.

Weirdest thing ever. I rebooted my phone and my old facebook was back! No Titanium Backup or anything, it was just there. Except the icon didn't have the MattedBlues theme like it did before (which is odd). Not gonna try updating again obviously, since it works now.
Thanks for the apk though, that's what I would have tried if it didn't magically appear.

Hmmm, I haven't had problems syncing contacts. I have noticed that you need to go back in and select it after the intial setup for the settings to 'stick' though.
Also the offical FB app is horrible. I wish the Bloo developer was still developing.
New FB updated is out! All bug fixes should be fixed now!
So I successfully rooted my phone last night and this morning I decided to remove some bloatware. Somewhere during my exploration I deleted a file which caused all the text to on my widgets to appear bigger and in red. I did a Nand Restore and a factory reset. I'm still rooted BUT I don't have my Market Place, GMail, I can't sync GMail. I go to "Accounts and Sync" settings and there is no GMail add on...only regular mail. I downloaded through the regular phone browser the Gmail APK and Android Market APK and nothing. I click on the Market....it asks if I wanna sync an account...I say yes and it takes me back to the home screen. Gmail...same thing. Help will be greatly appreciated
EDIT (7-30-11 @ 1:10pm)- I did a Nand restore, apps and all and everything is back to normal....BUT still no Gmail or Android Market

bro, you gotta go download the gapps package.
Get the zip, flash it through recovery. Your problems will be over.
Here's the link, even.

Awesome....thanks for the help guys. Everything is now running smoothly and flawless. And I removed the bloatware that I wanted to remove.
Hey everyone, I closed the Gmail account that my phone was using for the Android Market and now every time I start up my phone I get invalid email messages and can't use the Android Market.
I have looked and looked but cannot figure out how to remove the email adress and add the new one. When I try to remove it it says I cannot because some apps are using it.
I'm on the OpenOptimus Rom at the moment.
Any help is appreciated, I really want to download text to speech by Sonalight!

You could try wiping "Accounts and Sync Settings" and uninstalling all google apps (If you are rooted). Then simply downloads GAPPS and flash. Otherwise => install Titanium Backup, backup all your apps, wipe data and restore everything (Except google apps and "Accounts and Sync Settings") using Titanium Backup.
Edit: I decided to update the rom and everything cleared. Thanks anyways everyone!
Just rooted yesterday. I was hoping to be able to use my Google calendar but the sync isn't working. Is their an easy way to fix this? I was an old thread in the development section but it looked pretty complicated.
I was on 1.4.2 B&N when I rooted with alberts 4.5 version and it is working great ... except for the calendar sync.
Did you enable it under Account settings? If you can't find that, try installing the Hidden Settings app in the dev forum.

Yes but there is an error message with just the calendar sync the others work fine
Odd, it worked for me (I've since moved on to CM7). Perhaps try clearing data on the calendar app. Have you opened the app itself? Perhaps you need to define the calendars you want in the app before going to account settings.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm still not having any luck. The error message reads: sync is currently experiencing problems and will be back shortly. I'be used bussness calendar free and somnolence calendar I,'m pretty sure the issue is not with the applications. I downloaded synker but that gives me error messages also for the android calendar. I,'m going to keep trying eventually it will get sorted.
i'm having exact same issue as op. any progress on this sync issue?
everything else is syncing fine.
I was having the same problem. I could never get calendar sync under accounts.
I'm currently using CalenGoo with no problems. It's in the play store, and older versions are out there on the interwebs.
Another thing to try is to download the latest CM7 GAPPs package from the CM wiki ( google: CM7 GAPPs ---n00bs can't post links) extract the files and sideload the GoogleServicesFramework.apk (Not sure, but it seems to have given me access to more apps without incompatibility messages from the Play store and to have generally smoothed out some sync issues I was having with Google Docs)
I'm NOT on CM7 (tried it, now naively waiting for beta) I'm 1.4.2 rooted with Albert's excellent 4.5 version.

After using the v4.6 root I added two files the Calendar apk and the CalendarProviders apk, but I had to get them from two different places to get it to work.
I can share the files in dropbox, but I am on the NT right now and since copy and paste doesn't work I can't paste the link. If you send me an email I can use the Share function and I am happy to.

Disbable.calendar syncing even if its getting an error. The files need to be copied to /system/app directory and then you need to reboot the device. After reboot enable the sync options again and it should work. In the calendar app you need to then enable calendar visibility for each calendar you want to see.
Some new information... I just recently had to totally wipe my Nook Tablet and start over. When I did what I just said to do, it didn't work. Found out that Calendar.apk should be copied to the system/app directory then CalendarProvider.apk beds to be installed. I don't actually know if either of them need to be in system/app but this.process is what it got it back up and running for me after having to redo my tablet.
I'm also trying to sync (no success until now) Google Calendar after I've moved my Defy into CM9 (build 2012.5.29, kernel CM9). I've tried all sorts of things: flashing different Gapps (newer, older), wiping cache/dalvik, but all I could get was an error message "Google Calendar Sync Has Stopped".
The only thing I did not try was a downgrade to Froyo Kernel.
Any one has find a workaround/solution?
I am hoping someone can help me out. (noob). I installed AOKP JB-MR1 Milestone 2 Android 4.2.2 Custom Rom
on my Verizon Note 2. It seems to work great! The problem I have is that there is no contacts folder in the build & no Backup Assistant. other verizon apps are there so...anyway, I really want to be able to load my contacts into a "contact" folder. No, I don't just want to use google. Is there anyway for me to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
What do you mean contact folder?

With these newer Android versions, Google has renamed their default "Contacts" to "People".
That's probably why you never found any of your contacts, as you put it, in the 'Contacts folder' - which used to be the App called "Contacts"
If you don't have either; then you might not have any GApps (Google Apps) package installed. Install that first.
(I haven't tried the ROM you've tried, so I don't know if it ships with the GApps package or not)
Hope this helped.
