RIM-COD-Size-0: 95264
RIM-COD-URL-1: gm_42_L1-1.cod
RIM-COD-Size-1: 91736
RIM-COD-URL-2: gm_42_L1-2.cod
RIM-COD-Size-2: 63556
To find out the actual URLs of those files you can use the URL of the .jad file which is:
http://www.gmail.com/app/v1.5.1/L1/gm-BlackBerry-42.jad
The .cod files are in the same path, so the URLs are:
http://www.gmail.com/app/v1.5.1/L1/gm_42_L1.cod
http://www.gmail.com/app/v1.5.1/L1/gm_42_L1-1.cod
http://www.gmail.com/app/v1.5.1/L1/gm_42_L1-2.cod
Download these files to a folder and you are ready to go. The ALX I created looks like this (to be saved in the same folder as the .cod files):
Code:
<loader version="1.0">
<application id="Gmail">
<name>Google Mail</name>
<description>mobile gmail app</description>
<version>1.5.1</version>
<vendor>Google</vendor>
<copyright>Copyright (c) 2007 Google</copyright>
<fileset Java="1.0">
<files>
gm_42_L1-2.cod
gm_42_L1-1.cod
gm_42_L1.cod
</files>
</fileset>
</application>
</loader>
I hope this helps  .
P.S.: Having no BIS / BES myself, I installed Gmail (among a whole bunch of other OTA-only applications) in the way described here, so I can tell for sure this will work if done correctly. I don't post the actual installer package here because I feel Google would not be happy about it. |

Hi sheepBB, thanks for the great write up.
Unfortunately, you stopped short in telling newbies (like myself!
) how to get the actual GMAIL Installer Package via a PC. I use Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Thanks for you help in advace!
