    I have installed GAPPS but Gmail isn’t working. It brings an error message.

    • Go to Google Play Services, try to clear data and clear cached. Then open this app again.

    Hi guys. This worked quite good! All is working except Gmail app.

    When I open the gmail app, it tells me that the play Store has a problem with the com.Google.android.mailmigrationapp.com

    Any idea how to solve this?

    Thanks!

  3. I downloaded everything…when I want to copy the AllBackup folder from my pc to my Mi6…it does not allow me to copy it. When I want to copy and paste the folder in the back up folder on the phone ‘paste’ is not an option. I can copy the zip file…but not extract it to the phone. Any idea what needs to be done? Please help.
