Ive tried "rename"/"Delete", but nothing is working, I have root but yet it tell me its a "read only" file. Any more suggestions?

are you using root explorer? if so, just click the "mount r/w" at the top right before you do anything

I'm getting the same thing. My difference is that I WAS rooted using Universal Androot, but since the last OTA update, it removed my root access. Any ideas? I just haven't had the time / patience to root the "long way", although if it helps my cause, I surely can do that.

the only way to root FRG22D is the long way at this point

If you are talking about within Root Explorer in the top right hand corner there is a Read/Write button you have to select first

After you renamed the previous version of gmail, did you reboot your phone before you tried to download the new one? After I initially deleted, I couldn't download gmail and get it to successfully install without rebooting.

I did make a backup before I deleted in case anything went wrong while I tinkered with my phone.
