[Q] 2 Gmail widgets in appdrawer

Dear folks here at XDA,
I've got a tiny problem/question... I flashed a CM9 ROM on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7500) and installed the GAPPS after that, as soon a I installed Gmail from the Play Store I got 2 widgets in my appdrawer.. 1 labelled "Google Mail" and 1 labelled "Gmail" both being the exact same widget...
...My question is: "how do I remove 1 of these widgets (without having to install a new ROM)?" I think the problem has something to do with the GAPPS, but I don't know which file is responsible for the problem...
So please help me out here, THNX in advance!

Holo Launcher

Hi all
New to the forum and new to Android! Just changed from iPad to a Kindle Fire HD. I've been trying to get the Holo Launcher to install on it. I managed to do the root thing following the instruction on this site but I get the impression its not needed to install Holo. I downloaded a couple of versions of Holo Launcher from the Google app store, I downloaded Holo HD, the app is on the device but if I try to launch it it says it cant open, Its in the folder with the rest of the apps. As I said I'm a complete newbie to Android, I searched the site but cant find anything really relevant to this subject. Can anyone help?
Cheers

[Q] Freedom won't work on S2

Hello,
I installed the Freedom app but when I open it, it starts loading it but then goes back to my apps and sais "Freedom isn't available in your country", I tried to use android market unlocker with T-mobile US and a Russian provider. (imgur com ekJKRHG) I can't post a link because this is my first post but I hope it's okay this way, it's a screenshot of the error. I am in the netherlands, my device is SGS 2 and my Android is 4.1.2. I also tried to change timezone's and that didn't work either. My phone is rooted.
I hope someone know's how I can fix this.
Well thanks for reading this and have a nice day,
Lisa
Hey guys does anyone know what to do?

Did you change your timezone to Moscow?
You need to go to settings--->apps and find Google Play Store and click uninstall updates
Tutorial that I found and might work here:

If your device have rooting,uninstall Google play services update and delete Google play services apk from system files then install fresh copy as normal app.

I have extracted these apks from downloaded rom for my other phone. But you can download full gapps packages provided by many developers for Kitkat. The gapps zip will have these apks.

Dear,
Since gapps or any rom is hosted on a 3rd party server, therefore, the URLs/Links may get removed by the owner. However, you should not worry as the apks attached to this thread by me will remain attached here. You can download them later from this thread.

ok thanks mate. you're a great help
