GMAIL 5.0 APK Download and info


Recommended Posts

Thanks :devil:

 

No problem.  Works pretty well.  Curious if they will be ditching the EMAIL app on Android now.

 

Anyway, before you install the app, I had to disable the GMAIL app and then rename the gmail.apk in system\app.  Then the 5.0 APK installed.  Had some weird issues where the logon screen for gmail kept popping up and trying to logon.  Restarting the phone after the 5.0 install seemed to fixed the issue.

I doubt they'll ditch the mail app, since the gmail app ONLY works for gmail, where as the straight email app works for other providers.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, just read the new Gmaill works with other providers as well.

Yea. but only for IMAP and POP3.  Still need the EMAIL app for Exchange/corporate emails. 

 

Anyway, I have Outlook and Yahoo setup via gmail using IMAP and it is working great.

Did you restart your phone after you installed 5.0?

It wouldn't install the apk through normal method, so I replaced my current gmail.apk file with the new one in my system folder, and then I restarted. It works fine other than when I try to compose a new message, and then crashes.

Not sure, works great for me.  What I did....

 

1) Disabled GMAIL in the Apps section.

2) Renamed the APK in system/app to gmail.old

3) Copied the 5,0 APK to the system/app.  Then installed the APK by clicking on the APK.

4) Restarted the phone.

 

So if all you did was copy the APK and not run the install, then that may be the problem.

Hm.  I deleted the old Gmail2.apk, moved the new gmail.apk to system fold, renamed it to gmail2.apk, set permissions on it, and restarted.  

 

I probably shouldn't of deleted the old gmail.apk.... oh well.  I'll try installing it now, now that it's in the system folder, like you did.  If that doesn't work...ill just wait til i find a different one.  Either way, thanks for sharing this.

Deleting the old APK should be fine.  I just renamed it just in case I needed to revert back. 

Will this only work on Nexus devices?  I tried on my Note 8.0 tablet and every time I would tap "Got It", the app would quit.  Tried all methods.

 

APK, should work.  I am using CM11 on my LG G2 so not sure if a stock device, it will work on.

Did you restart your phone after you installed 5.0?

I have a rooted Nexus 5 (with stock 4.4.4) and the app crashes everytime I try to start it. one time I managed to catch a glimpse at the start-up screen.

 

Tried everything mentioned above, and restarted my phone about 10 times. no luck.

 

Had to revert back to stock app.

Cool, i didn't know the new Gmail handled other email accounts now.

 

Although correct me if i'm wrong but you can set up your Outlook.com account as an exchange account in the email app right? So it would be better to keep using that than moving it to Gmail.

Outlook.com is either IMAP or POP3 (unless I missed something).  Exchange you have to use the Email app.  If you dont use Exchange, easier to use the GMAIL app to put all the emails in one place.

Apparantly you can set up Outlook as an exchange account as it lets me sync contact and calendar events.

Ah, ok.  I never have done that.  I tried a few other leaked 5.0 apps and nothing else is working for me cept GMAIL.  I tried the new messenger, keep, and calendar apps.

    • Steam Summer Sale 2026 kicks off offering weeks of PC game discounts by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Every year, one of the biggest events that Valve hosts is the Steam Summer Sale. Now, the 2026 edition has just kicked off, bringing discounts for everything from the newest games and retro gems to all sorts of DLC packs. As always though, PC gaming hordes have managed to shake the servers of Steam just as the sale opened its doors, so expect the prices, store pages, and services to not show up properly for some time till the backend stabilizes. You'll find sales being present, though with minor cuts, for even relatively recently released titles this time. The front page is the place to be for anyone looking for recommendations, with it putting a spotlight on fresh games every day. However, keep in mind that the discounts themselves will not be changing and will remain static throughout the sale. Blockbusters like Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Split Fiction, Red Dead Redemption II, Battlefield 6, Dispatch, Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil Requiem, Anno 117, Arc Raiders, Black Ops 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and much more are currently discounted. Valve has also brought back the special "Deep Discounts" section. While part of this same sale, it only highlights games that are discounted by at least 85%, with some titles even reaching 95% off. Some of the games included here are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 4, Wreckfest, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, The Quarry, Ghostwire Tokyo, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and much more for just a few dollars each. The Steam Summer Sale of 2026 will be open for business until July 9, giving everyone two whole weeks to try and keep their wallets closed. If you want to see the biggest highlights, be sure to read our Weekend PC Game Deals special coming this Saturday.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
