Problem Installing Gmail Update

[TigerDirect]

I am having an issue installing the update to Gmail that was released today. It will download fine, but will then give me the notification "Installation Unsuccessful." I receive this same error when trying to install Google Search and Google Voice Search.

I have tried clearing the cache and data for the Market multiple times, but to no avail.

I'm running Froyo FRG22D on a Motorola Droid. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Are you rooted?

I am also having issues with the new gmail app installing. I am rooted and running the shadow rom.

UPDATE: I got it to install by using root explorer to delete the gmail apk from the system folder, rebooting, and then downloading from the market.

Bump this! Rooted, running shadowROM with stock kernel. What's the deal?

See my post above yours for solution to update.

Yes, I'm rooted with stock FRG22B.

I'm not terribly comfortable deleting the Gmail apk, as I did this a while back to try to fix Maps, and I wound up not being able to install it at all. I eventually got Maps fixed, but I'm not sure exactly how.

Yes, I'm rooted. Stock all the way with FRG22B.

you can always just rename it to gmail.apk.bak or just move it to your sdcard, or something like that - but what mohawk said should fix it

First rename the gmail.apk to gmail.bak so if anything goes wrong, you still have the apk

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll give that a go. Although I had a backup of the Maps apk when I deleted it and I still couldn't reinstall...

Also, is there anything I could do about Google Search or Voice Search?

are you having the same problems with those as well? and you're pure stock FRG22D, with root? Or are you running an already rooted FRG22D stock "rom", so to speak...

Make sure, any time you move something back into the /system/app directory, that you ensure the permissions are 644... i.e., look like this:

x x o
x o o
x o o

...then reboot
