This guide comes with no guarantee. Use at your own risk. Am not responsible for missed love letters and/or any other loss caused by following this guide.

Update:

Would work on most CM7/Gingerbread builds and may work on many CM6/Froyo.

I’m attaching a copy of Email.apk. It is from Joestone's Gingerbread which is from AOSP and comes with Apache License.

You should install the provided apk as a system app on your Swiftdroid 2.0 M6 system.

Installing using Root Explorer.

Download the attached Email.apk to somewhere in the SD card.

Open Root Explorer.

Navigate to the downloaded to EMail.apk and copy it.

Navigate to /system/ and tap mount as r/w.

After /system/ is mounted as r/w, navigate to /system/app and paste Email.apk.

Long-press newly pasted Email.apk and select Permissions.

Change permissions by checking Read for User, Group and Others. Also, check Writer for User. This should change the file permissions to rw-r--r-- just like all the other apps.

Last but not the least, restart your phone immediately.

That’s it. Now, when you reboot, you should see EMail in the app drawer and you should also be able to add “Corporate” account by going to Settings > Accounts and Services > New Account.

I have tested this on my LG GT540 Optimus running Swiftdroid 2.0 M6. This may work on other 2.3/2.2 builds on any ROM/phone that lacks the Email app which is default in AOSP.

Advanced users may wish to install the apk via Terminal Emulator. Should you decided to install via Terminal or ADB Shell, the steps are the same. You should first mount /system/ as read/write. Then, copy the Email.apk to system/app. Then, change permissions of system/app/Email.apk as rw-r--r--. There are plenty of other guides on how to install apks as system apps. The same steps apply here. I’d skip the details.

I’d like to remind you all that Hotmail(Windows Live Mail) now supports Microsoft Exchange Sync(and, thus push email) for all users including free users and this is the main reason I wanted Exchange. =D

Just in case you want to setup your Live Id(Hotmail) with Android, here are the settings.

Domain: (Nothing. Not even space.)

Username: Your full email id.

Server: m.hotmail.com (SSL: enabled)

Go here for a detailed guide with step-by-step illustrations.

[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
Interesting, so are you sure there is no need of lib's files? Just the .apk?

Veronica
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
Well, this method worked out for me. I've synced two accounts already. EMail seems to be working fine.

Most of the time, the required libs are packaged with the apk I guess. And, when you reboot, the system should install(extract) the apk, I think.

Further, like I said earlier, EMail should not need any low level access to drivers and stuff. It basically needs access to write to contacts, calendar and data storage as well as internet. All of which should be accessed using the Android API. So, it should work. This was my assumption when I started looking around.

I do not know why the EMail was omitted but CM7 does have the EMail built-in.

Anyway, as long as it can fetch my emails, am happy. =)
[GT540 Optimus General] desmail:
were is the Email.apk file in your startpost?
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
For some reason or other, and I cannot see the file either. Am on mobile. I'll reupload if I cannot see it desktop either.
[GT540 Optimus General] desmail:
ok thank's .
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
Reuploaded. I wonder what happened to the one I uploaded before. :S
[GT540 Optimus General] TheKaptone:
thanks heaps for this apk , i was going out of my mind trying to sort out the email.apk for the cm7 rco thinking i must have made a mistake somewhere.

Out of interest does the cm7 m6 version have the email apk version in it or is it missing from there as well

Thanks

TheKaptone
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
All the later versions including M6, M5 do not have an email apk. This was purposely omitted by Mur4ik I believe. I guess he doesn't use it. This apk was extracted from Joestone's AOSP Gingerbread and should technically work on any Gingerbread or CM7 build.
[GT540 Optimus General] TheKaptone:
So good to have this apk, it works a treat and have been getting email no worries THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

sent from My Delorian
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
You are welcome. I didn't do anything though. Everything was out there. I just posted it separately. :)
[GT540 Optimus General] scribbclubber:
having some bugs while copying apk to /system/app, have message <not enough disk space to complete paste> can someone plz help ?
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
It's not a bug. lol. The error speaks for itself. Are you using Mur4ik modified partition? It just means system partition is full. You can check free space by typing df in terminal emulator or adb shell df.

You need approximately 2MB free space for this app. Leave at least 5-10% free space in system partition.
[GT540 Optimus General] scribbclubber:
Oh i c, sorry still newbie ... lol

I've install directly from sd card and seems to work fine.. u think will encounter some prob later ?
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
Install it on data/app(as a user app). Don't move it to SD. There won't be any problems but basically an EMail app is something you want to be on your phone always even when you have the SD removed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRX1983:
I just flashed back to CM 7.0.3 (came back from MIUI) and the market will start the download but I keep getting the DOWNLOAD IS NOT SUCCESSFUL error, I did a full wipe and cleared the cache and the market cache as well but nothing has worked. I really need help fellas, thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
It occasionally does that, and the CM team is looking into it. Have you tried the newest nightly? Is this on 3G, wifi, or both? Can you try it on both if you haven't?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRX1983:
The weird thing is that I was on CM7.0.3 before I tried MIUI and never had a problem, but when I switched back to CM7.0.3 I started to have this issue. Anyways, I just tried downloading the apps on 3G and it worked so thank you for that, but I'm still trying to figure out why this happened to me ? lol.

Wait scratch that, spoke too soon I was able to download 1 app and then it went back to download unsuccessful, fml.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintstephens:
Try signing into Google Talk. I had this problem numerous times, and found out that Google's main solution is that one must be signed in to Google Talk or the Market will fail to download apps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sal_shawn:
i am currently running stock, but when I get that error I have to move the app from my SD card to the phone.
[Android Software Development] Corey Bryant:
I have a Windows Mobile 7 that has the "swipe" capability as show here: http://dotnetbyexample.blogspot.com/2010/09/animated-swipe-enabled-title-control.html

Can a Google app do the same thing? I would like to have an app built in Google but this swipe function seems to be causing some issues.
[Android Software Development] Corey Bryant:
Just in case this helps someone - I posted on a couple of other message boards and this is what they suggested Android Gestures, Gester Detector, and HorizontalScrollView.

I am waiting to see if it is what I am looking for.
[Android Software Development] Lakers16:
I would pay good money for this API in android. I have searched before and had no luck.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] android.vibrant:
Amazon has a pre-order for Tab 10.1

but what color, white or grey???
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rukkus:
last time i checked they were only selling the grey.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MisterEdF:
They were taking pre-orders on the 8th. From the photos and the model number and the UPC it looks like the black (gray) one. If it's not it's going back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jesrazo:
Just played with one and WoW, great device. But it's not better than my G2X with character. I say character because it works when it feels like it. But I did a side by side and theres some lag on the Sensation. It does look nice and feel real good in hand. Just not enough to make me send my G2X back. I'll wait for something else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I am going to drop by a T-Mobile Corporate store to play around with it a bit too, but I am not giving up my G2x :)

I had it since release date and is been pretty solid for me, Can't wait for the Gingerbread update coming pretty soon!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] danz8509:
yea overrated

i was at the tmobile store the other day too and tried it out there is some def lag and the camera didnt seem super quick to me either its supposed to be instant but it opened maybe a micro second faster than the g2x in my opinion i didnt like the feel personally the back is too plasticy and just looks cheap, the tmobile guy preferred the g2x as well!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jesrazo:
It feels solid, like my wifes Nexus One but just not as fast. My wife has no clue about phones but she even noticed the small lag, barely noticeable but it's there. Overall I'll sit and wait and see if the bootloader gets unlocked. But my G2X with my covers and cables just seems to good to give up atm.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shilent:
There's a live wallpaper on my girlfriends mytouch 4g that I want.after googling I found out that it is in framework-res.apk. what happens if I copy that to my phone and run it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wild_eyes:
Hi Guys, I know this question is kind of general and many people have asked before when I searched the forum I found out that there are 3 most known and working kernels for evo such as

1- savage-Zen

2- tiamat

3- redstar

these are what i found so far.

My questions are:

1- Which is the best one that doesnt cause problems much and is stable ? (for HTC EVO 4g)

2- Which one gives the best battery life ?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchompondizx:
savage-Zen IMO give the best battery life with deck's rom plus viperboy scripts.:p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keejung:
i use savaged zen .... tiamat just didnt seem as fast, however who really should use vipers mod to undervolt.... my evo likes the 825 and stock is set st 950
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadden:
it all depends on your evo like on my friends evo its tiamat sbc on mine tiamat was horrible battery life even with sbc but on mine savaged zen gives me up to 2 days when i charge it full with viperboys scripts

:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fitz420:
I was happily running tiamat until I tried savagedzen. I seem to get much better battery life while running decks and using viper's script.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoDawg:
I run tiamat SBC and I get great battery life and its fast.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaanadie:
I have CM7 nightly #107, Tiamat_Evo-v4.0.5 and SetCPU, getting excellent battery life and great spped.:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -viperboy-:
I use Tiamat, personally and I get over 24hrs of moderate-heavy usage with my scripts and being underclocked to 691. The phone is still just as responsive, I would definitely check that out :)
[Bravo General] sicmadek:
Well ive discovered that my bravo has the 50% time without signal bug. Im not sure if any of the rest of you have noticed it or know how to fix it. In the captivate community we had this problem. Im not sure how they fixed it but i know airplane mode on and off is a temporary fix. If anyone has a true fix let me know.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
I think it's just a statistics recording problem and not an actual representation of signal time.
[Bravo General] sicmadek:
It is but its been proven that it drains battery
[Bravo General] dontbejeff:
I have noticed this since FroYo came to the Bravo also. I have also done the fix but it still reports a lot of battery use by the radio. However it still has the same battery life as 2.1 so I just think it is a statistical error of some sort and is not the cause of battery drain.
[Bravo General] Darkendvoid88:
Can confirm that cell standby use'd 47% of my battery in the last day and 13 hours my phone was unplugged.

I'm on the edge of my Micro-Cell and actual service though, so it spends a lot of time switching networks for me. This reading may not be accurate but I just figured it was based off my signal strength. (No signal at work either)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0gan:
I just flashed to the latest Virtuous Fusion rom (1.1.8) which is supposed to be compatible with netflix. I downloaded the netflix app from the market but am getting a 1005 streaming error. Also tried the mod2 apk update in the netflix app thread but am encountering the same problem.

Anyone know how to fix? I also tried rebooting but that didn't help. Read through the virtuous fusion rom thread in development but wasn't able to find anything. TIA.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0gan:
Anyone experiencing the same issue w/ a fix?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orl2185:
Log onto it through your wi fi. It will work that way. It's a simple connection issue
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0gan:
Reinstalled netflix and cleared cache to fix problem. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kettlecorn:
I've been using the app "voice choice" and it manages a contact list for google voice. basically it manages which numbers are connected with your real # and which numbers are connected using google voice, so I actually have 2 lines.

Problem is, after I installed CM7, Voice Choice doesn't work. Default setting used to be that when I dial out it would be my google voice number always. But now everytime I dial any number, it constantly asks me to choose, it's so f'in annoying.

Is there an updated form of this app or a different one that works better??
[Galaxy S II General] lynxboy:
Firstly, there is a thread about this buried in the Themes and Apps section, last post on the 4th of May.

Sorry for digging out the skeletons, but I think this needs bringing up again in the general section as hopefully we can figure out some resolution, or at least have some reasoned debate about it (insert sarcasm).

Anyway, I was on the SkySports website today and almost sh*t the bed when I saw what appeared to be a stuck/dead pixel on the bottom left hand corner of the browser/screen. A quick jump back to the home screen and into the settings relieved me, as it only seems to appear in the browser. 90% of websites are on a light background so you normally don't see it but flick to any website with a dark background or hover a dark image in the bottom corner of the screen and there it is, shining bright and piercing into my soul.....Rotate the browser and it rotates aswell!

So are Samsung playing with us? Is there some twisted Korean dev sat at home chuckling at the thought of us all choking at the sight of a dead pixel only to find out it's just a glitch.

I'm all for easter eggs, but this joke isn't funny and I'm now dreading browsing to any dark websites as I know it is there and anyone who's had a stuck or dead pixel will know, no matter much you try to forget it, it will just shine brighter and brighter until it is the only thing you see.

Feel free to discuss, flame and ***** about this minor annoyance....

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] dtosun:
Yes, i have this problem also.
[Galaxy S II General] yiannisthegreek:
I believe that everyone has this issue. I have it too and it did scare me at forst but then I saw that it was not really a dead pixel and that made me feel better.
[Galaxy S II General] bcam117:
Is is there if you use another browser?
[Galaxy S II General] yamanote:
Nope, it seems to be only in the stock browser.

Same page, no white dot in the bottom left using Dolphin HD.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
It might be a piece of code that's there to keep a process open in the stock browser. They probably have one white pixel displayed because white is the most inconspicuous. If it's not there in other browsers or any other applications and is always in the exact same location that would seem to be a logical explanation. Someone just said "this problem." Is a white pixel that only displays in the stock browser that you can only see in the 20% of backgrounds that aren't light truly a "problem?"
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:
lynxboy , what fw do you have ?

the white pixel in the left corner when browsing disapeared in my S2 with KE7 ;)
[Galaxy S II General] yamanote:
I'm on VR1.1 (based on KE7 iirc) and the dot is there in the stock browser.
[Galaxy S II General] lynxboy:
I'm currently running Lite'ning 1.2 KE7. I'm pretty certain it will be resolved in a subsequent firmware releases.

The OP was written with tongue firmly in cheek, while I acknowledge the 'issue', I wouldn't consider it a problem but would prefer it not to be there.

Regards.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joenuts83:
I just read that when the Rogers version of Infuse will come stock with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. This should be big news to all the devs because I'm sure they can port it to our phones.

http://www.techwafer.com/2011/06/10/samsung-galaxy-infuse-4g-heading-rogers/
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
Im not so sure, because i heard specs blabbed out from random sites before for the US release stating it was going to be 2.3... SO im not so sure its legit
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
I think they got a their info wrong...

To start it is not. Galaxy S deivce...

Second if it would run gingerbread wouldn't it have touchwiz 4???
[Samsung Infuse 4G] knight4led:
http://m.androidcentral.com/samsung...mpaign=Feed:+androidcentral+(Android+Central)

Android central seems to agree
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pilotgod:
I hope this means 2.3 for AT&T launches at the same time. Probably not but I can hope.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?!? why does it say Galaxy S? our phone is not a Galaxy S device, that phone better not have a label somewhere on there that says Galaxy S or i will be pretty pissed about it.

its the same phone with with the same specs, yet AT&T's version is not Galaxy S
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
what the hell does a label matter? its the same damn phone
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
but Galaxy S sounds cool :P

Having a Galaxy S label on your phone makes it worth more.

let me put it this way, lets say your trying to sell it,

"Have this Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G" sounds more executive than "I have this Samsung Infuse 4G"

Galaxy S gives it the name it should deserve i high end phone, since Samsung has made it known that their galaxy s device line are high end devices...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benholman:
Honestly, any legitimate buyer would do his/her research and realize the specs are more important than a label. Which is why I bought an Infuse.. have you seen this screen? :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
ha, well yeah, i guess that true, but still! Galaxy S does sound cool, or maybe its just that i have a thing for outer space...

and no i havent seen the screen on this thing :P

i picked up my HD2 yesterday to mess around with it, and i was like da f#@$ this screen is so small, i think im going to screen my self over with huge screens
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
I've actually seen several places say it is a Galaxy S phone. To me it really doesn't matter though. I love the phone, S or not. :P
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
yeah, i should just get over it... maybe in a few weeks... months...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
well to start tw4 is only for the sgs2. it has been ported to and used on other roms(may bet ported to 2.2.1 on the infuse like it was for the vibrant) the sgsi9000 has gb and it is still tw3. next it wont need any "porting" from rogers. it should flash ringht on and just work! and rogers is not known to have much bloat so there wont be too many equivelents of the att apps that you need to delete.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] maizein:
What's the current gingerbread version?

What's the current version of Gingerbread on the Rogers Infuse? Hope it's at least 2.3.4 (so Google Talk has video/voice support)...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlee102:
Just flashed latest MIUI rom onto my i9020T. Curious about custom kernels. Any suggestions?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Netarchy's kernel. Find it on Dev forums

Use the universal one.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
I like netarchy kernel also with the added under volting. BE CAREFUL DOING THIS. I'm 40 mv lower then the default values. I get great battery life, almost 30 heavy use.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlee102:
I've read through that and from the jist of it Netarchy universal 2.3.3 seems the most stable. But MIUI 1.6 is 2.4 based so how does that stand with/against the 2.3.3 kernel?

[Blade General] Djhg2000:
I've searched both Google and this forum, but I can't find a clear answer.

A friend asked me to install CM7 on his Blade which is Gen2, but the problem is I don't want to brick his phone trying to enable TPT for the sole purpose of avoiding permanent bricks, which would be incredibly ironic.

So the question is; can you enable TPT on a phone that has never been a Gen1?

This probably boils down to whether a stock Gen2 is close enough software-wise to an upgraded Gen1.

Thank you for your time.
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Huh? CM7 is meant for Gen 2, you can just root, install CWM and flash CM7.
[Blade General] Djhg2000:
Yeah, I know because I have a Gen2 converted Gen1 myself, but TPT would come in handy if he ever manages to mess it up (bad update, playing with root, other unpredictable stuff).

With my HTC Magic I once managed to damage the system so badly it became close to bricked with both recovery and Android unbootable. The one thing that saved me was fastboot. Since then I always make sure to have a way of spoonfeeding an update in case everything else fails, the harder to break the better (I'd imagine breaking fastboot is hard, but it requires a computer with the Android SDK tools and in his case working drivers).

The question still stands; can you enable TPT on a phone that has never been a Gen1?
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Oh I understand now.

From the TPT page on Modaco.
[Blade General] Djhg2000:
Thanks

I found it now, it's in the thread about the CM7 TPT images, in bold caps right before the first step. *facepalm*

Ah well, at least a Google search for "gen2 enable tpt" will point people with the same question here.
[Blade General] digital0:
Well, as I understand it, it is possible, but difficult. When you upgrade to gen2 with old Windows flasher method, you get no TPT too (you basically get factory gen2). But it is possible to downgrade back to gen1 and then use TPT to go to gen2. So the same should be possible with factory gen2.
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Yeah it's possible, I think you just have to be careful to backup those .nvm files to prevent the loss of your IMEI.

Out of interest since I used the Windows method, why do you want to downgrade to Gen 1 and upgrade again with the TPT?
[Blade General] danielplayfaircal:
I'm sorry that I cant post the link, I guess I better post some spam to get my post count up...

google "Flashing modified firmware to a stock Gen2 phone". Its a guide by me, hedgepigdaniel, on modaco.

this guide will help you to do what you want.
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Look in the General section there's a few silly threads there so you can + your post counts.
