Q. Uninstalling gmail and latitude on Community rom - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Gmail and latitude keeps running in background even though I changed the settings not to update. I don't use them, so is it okay to uninstall them? Are there consequenses to deleting gapps?

Should not be a problem. You can run aosp with out gapps at all. If your concerned freeze them instead with tb or another freezer on the market.

[Q]Market not syncing apps.

Ok, so my original Eris was causing a ton of problems for me, so I went to the Verizon store today and got it replaced. They gave me a recertified Eris. It's synced my contacts and everything, but not my market apps. How do I get it to sync them?
Unless you backed up your apps, you'll have to reinstall each of them.
Make sure that you are logged in with the same google account and also make sure that Auto-sync is on (Settings>Accounts&Sync>Autosync). If they don't sync, then you will have to download them again manually.
Were you running a 2.2 rom? Also, did you happen to have NHL app or score center installed?

Google Play: Anyway of removing Apps from "My Android Apps"?

Hi. I've Just installed a fresh CM9 and synced the phone to my google account. Once it synced it started downloading apps I had previously downloaded which are listed in my Google play account (including a lot of crappy apps listed that I previously messed around with). Is it possible to remove apps from my Google play account? Because I don't want certain apps automatically installed. Cant find an option on the Google play site...
Maybe you can rewrite your post, cause I have no idea what you want.
You installed CM9 and all your apps etc. are gone? And you are missing the market app?
For now I don't think there is any way of doing this.
Looky here...
yeah i was talking gibberish, updated now

Gmail crashing constantly

Ok I have read that Gmail is not a very stable app, and people often complain it crashes, but there's a limit!
I had it installed by default, then removed it after root, then decided to install it again as I needed to check my mail more often.
Every time, every damn time I do ANYTHING, Gmail crashes. You probably know the usual message "com.google.android.gm stopped unexpectedly", I get it when I boot the phone, when I enable data, when I disable data, when I open the browser, when I close the browser, when I enable google account sync, when I disable it, and of course when I try and open Gmail. The fact is, the process crashes even when I don't use Gmail (I checked and it's not in the 'being used' processes list, but when I open the browser or enable data it crashes from nowhere).
I have already tried wiping cache and data, uninstalling updates (but for some reason it uninstalls the whole app), and uninstalling/reinstalling it several times, but I only managed to make it work ONCE (then after that unique mail sent, crashes again). Is there a way to stop this madness?
I have an Xperia Mini st15i with rooted 2.3.4 and stock stuff, if it can help.
Did you take a backup of the stock Gmail app before you removed it? Did you install that one and then updated or did you install directly from the market?
In addition, have you tried clearing the data of Google Services Framework? I read somewhere that clearing its data can help resolve issues in Google apps.
I don't have a backup of the stock one, I reinstalled directly from market =(. I'll try clearing that data then =)
Don't worry if you don't have the stock Gmail.apk. If clearing the services framework doesn't work, search Google for the stock Gmail.apk of your android version, install it, then convert it to system app and link it to the market using titanium backup and then update it. If you can't find it, contact me. Post how it goes.

Play Store 3.9.1.6 and Gmail 4.2 on Razr

I have installed the new Play Store 3.9.1.6 over the current Play Store and it works perfectly. I love that I can now delete all those tried but deleted apps from the All Apps List in the market.
Also the new Gmail 4.2 works. You have to be rooted and uninstall your current Gmail app, then reboot, then install the new Gmail 4.2, then reboot again. I used Titanium to uninstall the old Gmail app.
I think I have attached the files.

Thanks for the files. But after installing the gmail app, my Gmail widget is on constant sync, so it keeps loading again and again, wasting my data.. any suggestions...
My widget is not doing that. Might try clearing data and any cache then reboot again.

[Q] 3rd Party Google Apps Not Syncing

Hey guys,
I'm currently running the most recent cm10.1 nightly for the N4 conversion. Recently all of my 3rd party google apps (voice, calendar, tasks) stopped syncing and I have no idea why. My apps that are specific to the phone (gmail, contacts, play music) all sync without a problem, but I just cant get any of the apps I downloaded from the app store to sync to my google account.
Has anyone dealt with this before and know how I can fix it? I'm guessing it is some sort of a com.android file that went missing when flashing the rom. I've tried factory resetting and flashing clean, and wiping app data and uninstalling each app, but no luck.

Have you tried launching the app first then go into settings>accounts and making sure the desired option is checkmarked.

Yes I have done that. The only thing I can even think of doing now is wiping my titanium backup data and reinstalling all my apps fresh. Ive wiped all data for the apps that aren't working, but maybe wiping all apps would help?
