[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Yeah that's not Google, that's us. Go to your main menu settings/apps/Gmail and select uninstall. Also some launchers let you uninstall the app dragging the icon to the trash but long hold it there until uninstall appears.

Well i can't get play services to update again now that i want it to but if you'll recall, Monday i believe, i mentioned i was gong to do a full wipe and update my ROM. I asked youif the app and web site were in sync. So after i set my phone back up i flashed my tbo and DarkHorse apps like i normally do and when i saw that my gmail kept crashing i knew I'd been smacked with the problem I'd been reading about in the thread. So when i couldn't find the play services that dafoxs posted i figured i would just install it straight from the past store and deal with stock until everything got sorted out.

If you have.. turned off administration....uninstalled any updates to leave factory only....Then flashed the zip....and nothing happens... let me know.. because at this point I have no idea what you have done.

Also if you uninstall update and have no factory version to replace then you have more issues then you think. I would go flash the latest gapps then uninstall that update to keep it system then flash ours to keep it old.

[Android Themes] razen_kain:
Not really sure what y'all don't get but you're making this harder than it is.

(NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!)

If you can't uninstall the updates just uninstall Google play services altogether with tibu or some other app that will uninstall system apps, reboot to recovery, flash the appropriate zip that is posted on tbo Facebook page. Reboot. The new Google play services is signed with a different signature so Google is not going to update it automatically anymore.

It does not fix play store. That is a completely unrelated matter. Play store 4.6.17 is in testing and will be available when it's ready. This fixes crashes with gmail, chrome browser, and Google magazines. Once that zip is flashed, you're done until a more permanent solution has been found.

I completely uninstalled play services

You see it's uninstalled

After flashing the zip in recovery, rebooting, voila. I'm good to go. Gmail works. I'm happy. God i hope this helps.
