We can develop implicit wait on our own.

Use this code; it should also work the same as implicit wait.

//=== Start of Implicit Wait Statement ===

public void implicit_Wait_ID(String str) throws Exception{

        for(int i=0;i<60;i++){
            try{
                driver.findElement(By.id(str)).isDisplayed();
                break;
            }catch(Exception e){Thread.sleep(2000);

            }   
        }
}
//=== End of Implicit Wait Statement ===    

Use this method by passing the ID value:

public void loginGmail() throws Exception
{
        driver.findElement(By.id("Email")).sendKeys("Mail ID");
        driver.findElement(By.id("next")).click();
        implicit_Wait_ID("Passwd");
        driver.findElement(By.id("Passwd")).sendKeys("Pwd value");
        driver.findElement(By.id("signIn")).click();
}

If it is Xpath, LinkText, just create one of the above methods for all locator types and reuse it n number of times in your script.
