For those that want the new GMail 4.5 here is the link

Lifehacker website has several mirrors to the official app.

For those running custom roms and modified gmail (i.e. Blacked out) :
You must uninstall your current gmail app after downloading this new version. Put new gmail in root app folder, then install.

Psh, it doesn't need to be in system apps. First thing I do when I flash is remove every single Google app, then reinstall the ones I need from Google Play. Cleaner, as it doesn't have the original version backed up.

It's not blocked on custom ROMs that have the standard version either, it's just a very slow rollout.

LOVE the new look.

Thanks for the link

I am unsure on this yet, still undecided on the new gmail changes, takes me more time to read through my emails

Don't think you read my post very carefully. I'm also guessing you don't have inverted GAPPS (or dont know what that is) based off what you wrote. And where do you think those apk's go when you dl them? Magic fairy land?

Under data/app. From your post, it sounded like you were saying all custom ROMs were blocked.

I'm undecided as well. I realized it chose some auto classification on some senders that I had to fix. I think it is going to take some getting used to.

As I dont use the tabbed inbox this update is not very impressive

The only difference I notice is it now looks like an enlarged phone app instead of a tablet one

IMO, I don't know what google are doing at the moment, too many updates to things I do not like

I already have the new Gmail from the looks of it. Looks nice.

Can you remove the tabbed inbox ? I enabled it and now can't seem to find a way to disable it on gmail on the web ?

If you hover over 'Inbox' in the left hand pane you will see a little drop down arrow for it, here you can select the previous inbox type (also under settings inbox)

Or you can click the + next to the tabs and disable the additional tabs

Thanks Paul Much appreciated.

You're Welcome

I keep turning them off/on, then trying the new gmail app on android

Can't decide what to keep (I think it's habit that I just want an original style inbox, but don't see any positives for me on a tabbed inbox)
