I have recently flashed a custom ICS rom on my device, and then installed from zip via recovery mode the relevant gapps package for that rom (from here: http://oldwiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Latest_Version). Let's say I now want to revert my google apps back to their old Gingerbread versions and install a 2.3 gapps package, how would I safely do that ?!

All of them? Why? – Matthew Read♦ Jun 22 '12 at 21:50
Curiosity really, but I'd also like the old Gmail back. – svarog Jun 22 '12 at 21:59
You could try replacing just the Gmail .apk in /system/app/, though I'm not sure if it would work with the new framework. Should be easy to revert if it doesn't though. I'd be very surprised if the entire Gingerbread framework worked on ICS, though, and if it didn't it might make a mess for you. – Matthew Read♦ Jun 22 '12 at 22:04
doing stuff like that with adb is never a good idea :) – svarog Jun 22 '12 at 22:09
