We’ve known about the improvements to GMail in the latest version of the GAPPS package for a while now, but it’s found its way onto the net as an installable .apk file for anyone with an Android 2.2 phone to install – no root required (it actually surfaced at the time of our reporting, but no one thought to actually look inside the flashable .zip file). You can read about the new changes in our earlier report here, but check this link out for the new download.

    I’m wondering the same thing. Seems a bit redundant. Why not make this compatible for 2.1 instead, I mean it’s a damn gmail app, why does it NEED froyo??

    All of these features are baked in to the Gmail app bundled with 2.2, aren’t they? Why would someone with a 2.2 ROM want to install this when the already bundled Gmail app has all the same features?

    Aw man, I was excited but I already have it in the MoDaCo ROM. Be warned, the text selection function is terrible!

    Pretty sure this is in the version of Baked Snack I installed yesterday. Good stuff!
