It turned out that ICS Gmail can run smoothly on Tablet S. I use two accounts at the same time, and the stock Gmail app often get force closed when switching between the two account. However, the ICS Version doesn't. And it's much faster.
Installation is simple.
1. Download the Gmail APK (credit to the guy here who repackaged it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310267)
2. Backup your original stock app
3. Copy the Gmail.apk file to /system/app/. Set the correct permission (rw-r--r--) and the right owner and group id (root - root).
4. Restart the tablet (maybe not necessary)
Thanks for the apk. No issues at all.

Hello, i tryed to install androir stock calendar.
i deleted calendar, calendarprovider and semccalendar vanilla or somethink like that
now i cannot install the stock calendar and calendarprovider.apk

i can use ADB to install id (with rootexplorer i cannot copy the files to system/app even it i am rooted
Help please
Did you delete apps from system/app or moved to /data/app and then uninstalled it?
The correct way to remove default apps is to move then from system/app to data/app, reboot and the uninstall it opening settings/manage applications.
If you just deleted apps from system, its better to repair your phone with SEUS and remove stock apps with correct way. Believe me, I removed apps before without uninstalling then and system was sucking my battery very fast. Just make a repair, uninstalled things correctly and now my phone is so much better.
Wat is the need of removing the app make backup of that and replace wid the android default calendar...

Yes i think i have deleted directly from System/app :-(
but i think there is a way to install it with ADB no?
maybe i can put original SE calendar and remove again the correct way?
I didn't try it, but I think u can...

Did the "rm /system/app/Candendar.apk" and wondered why it didn't work.
The system keeps some files in memory and they survive the "rm" command. Fixed this by doing;
1. Setting> Applications > Manage Applications and removing all calendar named apps, (there were about 4 still including com.sonyericsson.calandar!)
2. Restart phone.
3. Copy standard Calendar and CalandarProvider across (I used scp and dropbear, you could do the same with adb or rootexplorer) Files are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9434204&postcount=2
4. Restart phone. (I didn't need to run the "install" command, files were "chmod 644" already)
Now have the standard calendar rather than the SE calendar!
Solved ! thanks
Attached is the Froyo Leak / DL30 - fully debinged Browser.
1. No default bookmarks.
2. VZW bookmarks can be deleted
3. Search via URL uses Google
4. http://www.google.com is the default homepage
DISCLAIMER
you are responsible for anything you do to your phone
/DISCLAIMER
To install ...
Method 1 - Root Explorer
Backup the existing /system/app/Browser.apk or rename it
Copy the attached Browser.apk file to your phone's SD card
Copy Browser.apk from your SD card to /system/app using Root Explorer
Reboot your phone.
Note : You made need to clean your dalvik cache
This worked for me ... but others have not been able to do this successfully.
Method 2 - ADB
With USB debugging enabled, and your phone rooted, backup your existing Browser.apk
Push the new apk.
Reboot
Method 3 - CWM
Place DeBingedBrowserCWM.zip on the root of your SD card.
Boot into CWM
Install the update
Reboot.
Many thanks to chopper the dog for this package !
To verify URL search ...
Enter search terms for the URL .... verify it goes to Google to search
To verify Bookmark deletion ...
Launch the browser
Click on the bookmark icon
Long press on VZW bookmark
Scroll and select "Delete bookmark" ... verify that you get a message that Bookmark <name> will be deleted.
Click OK
-Doug
Works!
Confirmed working google search. gj.
If anyone wants the browser setting to pick the default search engine to work... I think it's a different question... But I'm glad I have google again.
I decompiled the DL30 browser apk earlier this morning... And find that the code to force bing was much easier to find than earlier versions. Looks like you took out the default bookmarks, and changed the search string? Anything else out of my curiosity.
The code also wouldn't allow deleting two existing Verizon bookmarks.
If the bookmark was named "VZW Home" or "My Verizon" or the URL was "http://converge.vzwwap.com/" or "https://mobile.vzw.com/sspostmw/forms/myacc.jsp" it wouldn't allow deletion.
-Doug
...Now with Chrome Icon
This is the same de-binged browser with the Chrome Icon
Thanks for the post.
Hmmm... Can't seem to get it to work. Copied the original to sdcard for backup then using root explorer deleted original and copied debinged to system/app and rebooted and cleaned dalvik but still uses bing and can't delete bookmarks.

Try clearing the application data. settings -> applications -> manage applications.
This will also clear any bookmarks/history you have.

Ok so I can't get it to work at all. Followed OP to a tee and the original Browser.apk says it is deleted in root explorer but when I copy the debinged named as Browser.apk it reverts back to the original no matter what... Stumped on this one...

Thanks for this. But I always find it easier to push files or make a cwm zip (root explorer is not the most reliable). But flash the below file via cwm no wipe is needed plus your existing bookmarks will remain and I was able to delete those vzw links right away. It sucked to have a scrollable widget and seeing the vzw **** there.
@OP update your first post/title with this.
good day.
Thanks Chopper the CWM flash worked perfectly. Url search goes straight to Google and bookmarks deleted. One issue I did notice was even with Google set as homepage and all data history etc cleared when reopening the browser it opens to Google but if you hit the back key it goes to that converge.vzw site even with history and data cleared and bookmark deleted any idea?

@doug it was the vzw homepage but I was able to just randomly eliminating it by clearing data and cache a fourth time. Didn't do anything different or additional and it works perfect now... go figure

Hi everybody.
I use paul-xxx 's MiniCM7 Pro - V20-Final and was wondering if it is possible to use the stock 2.1 calendar.
I cannot use android calendar because of the need to sign in in a Google account, as i don't have one and don't want to create one.
I liked the stock apk cause it is simple and just wanna see the date without having to sync with internet.
SEMCCalendar and other calendar associated applications are not working with MiniCM7 Pro...
Thanx in advance

normally what i do is if i want a app from older ROMS i save the apk of that app on to my SDcard and use App installer to install it (normally it works)
if that doesnt work i try copying the .apk file to where the other app is stored
e.g if i want messaging app, i copy it and paste it in system/app/Mms.apk using file managers like root explorer, astro file manager etc...
because theres where the Mms.apk is stored
to see change reboot your phone

Yes i understood what you said m8 and have done all those things before but nothing happens.
It seems like it's more complicated, it's like the stock SE calendar apks are not compatible with the rom.
As far as i'm concerned for the stock calendar to work in stock 2.1 rom are required 3 apks placed in system/apps:
-CalendarProvider.apk
-SemcCalendar.apk
-SemcCalendarVanillaApi.apk
I put them in system's apps, i change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and then reboot. The only thing is the calendar's icon that appears but if you press it error appears, meaning the app cannot be run.
Hi all,
I've just rooted my tablet today. In the process of removing bloatware, I accidentally removed Gmail and really need to have the Tablet S's specific Gmail apk file to install it back. It's impossible to install from the market, probably due to the android version.
And hell, why can't Google update the market a tablet version of gmail instead of telling to my face that my device is "incompatible".
Thank you.

Try this link. I cant access the mediafire at work so not sure if it will work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944069&highlight=gmail+apk
No this can't work. The link you posted are the APKs for Froyo. Tablet S runs Honeycomb, and needs a specialized version for the tablet screen.
I will need someone with a rooted tablet to get the APK for me :-(.
Edit:
I can see that you have a rooted S. Could you mind grabbing the APK named Gmail.apk from /system/app/Gmail.apk and upload somewhere? That'd be great.
Edit:
Installed that random Froyo apk (just so the system are fooled that there is some Gmail app). But running it will lead to the app being forced closed.
However, I used root explorer to replace the Gmail apk with the apk from this:

And it runs beautifully
Have you downloaded it from the market?

No. I use the APK from the link above. You need root explorer to access the system folders.
You can simply replace your current APK with this one, set the right permission and reboot your tablet. That should work.
But back up your original APK - I hold no responsibility if somehow the APK doesn't work on your tablet.
