![Get an Early Gmail Update for your Android Phone [Updates]](http://nexgadget.com/images/Get-an-Early-Gmail-Update-for-your-Android-Phone-Updates_Eao--_0.jpg)
Google’s updating its Gmail app for Android, adding a floating header/reply bar for usability and some real overall speed improvements. An unofficial beta of that better version is inside the wild, and phones running Froyo (2.2) can check it out.
The Phandroid blog offers up a multi-site download link, drawn from the best folks at the XDA Developers’ forum. You don’t need root access on your phone, but you’ll have to head into Settings, open the Applications section, and enable installation from unknown sources. As far as getting the .apk file onto your phone for installation, you may consider using Dropbox , or transferring it in your phone through a USB cable.
The APK update won’t work on every phone, it kind of feels. In case you ever wish to head back for your phone’s stock Gmail app, head to the Applications menu, then select Gmail within the All tab. Press the ” Remove Updates” button, and you’re back to where you were-though we find very little not to love in this update.
