gmail

They may not come with a lot of the 1st party Google Apps, but you can get those apps on there by manually downloading the APK files and installing them using a 3rd party app installer. I do not know if the gmail app works or not (I don't have my device yet) but I know other google apps do (Voice, Maps, etc).

dl a version of gmail off rapid share.it installs, but does not run

What firmware/rom are you running? Original, 1st Eken update, 2nd Eken update, ECOTOX, Darexius, etc.

2nd eken, off this site

this device doesnt have the framework to talk with gmail, I'm working on a working build with google apps,etc. buts as i dont have the device yet (its been 2weeks now) its slow, and i cant get alll the info i need.

My goodness Ecotox, you've been waiting for your device FOR EVER. Do you have tracking info yet?

yeah...and i still dont know where it is, it isnt even in the US yet, and its not in china.....so its in some other F$#%ed up dimension where packages go to piss people off while they wait for them to arrive .....

You need two libraries in /system/framework. Grab it from another phone (the libraries are something like com.google.*.jar).Also you need the "permission" files, these have the same name, but with .xml extension, and they are located in /system/etc/permission.Then you need some more apks: SetupWizard, checkin, GoogleApps, GoogleSubscribedFeedsProvider, GMailProvider, GMail. As far as I remember these are the bare minimum. You should put these in /system/app.Btw, to find out why an app doesnt install, open a telnet connection to the device (so you get a root shell) and run "logcat".Hope this helps I got gmail and google calendar working and syncing on mine. Market almost works, I can browse apps, but download always fails :-(

wow you got it working? every time i added the needed files to my rom it made it either not boot or loop FC

Getting the market to run does sound like a step in the right direction! Does it FC when you try to download? Or just fail to download? Thanks for the hard work!

i dont know if its related, by i have a pulse, and there has been a leaked 2.1 rom released. i tied this on my device and the market did the same, worked fine, but always failed to download. until someone changed the fingerprint of the build see herehttp://android.modaco.com/content-p...1-bigbearmdc-and-pauls-pulse-2-1-rom/page/40/post 58

i have checked to rom and the fingerprint is.fingerprintro.build.description=generic-user 1.6 Donut eng.simenxie.20100430.213426

I would *love* to have a syncing calendar...DanBTW, thanks!

huh. I located the files, Android 1.6, and copied them into the appropriate folders. Now it's stuck on the android startup animation.What now? Reflash?...12 hrs later: Ummm, nevermind. I reflashed with ecotox. But still, I followed gyoker's instructions. Is there a method I should have used to do this? I mean, I literally copied files into the folders. Is that wrong? Information, please...Dan
