Stock KK4 email.apk (Email Version 2.3.5)

Ok, for those who are having trouble with the email app that comes in Illuminance 3.0 or even 3.0.1 ---- then here is the email.apk I pulled from a Stock deodexed KK4 Rom by TRusselo. (his thread here... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19595065&postcount=1)

Installation...

Copy the Email_KK4.apk to ur phone's internal sdcard.

Use Titanium Backup to uninstall the Email2.apk or Email.apk (whichever version u have) or delete it through Root Explorer (go to /system/app/Email2.apk or Email.apk then longpress and select delete).

Use Root Explorer to move the attached Email_KK4.apk into the /system/app folder (don't forget to mount as R/W).

Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All, then > Email, to Clear data (If u don't do this and try to launch the app it may freeze and/or force close).

Then launch Email app and setup your email account settings, etc.

Enjoy :)

The email.apk, I have attached below... I renamed it to "Email_KK4"

Error

Hello. I installed Illuminance 3 coming from cog. I love the rom so far but I'm having issues with call log, search widget, multitasking, apps force closing and closing to home menu, browser, sleep death, battery, performance (quadrant 1,200 w/o voodoo, 1064 with voodoo) gallery and a few more. I installed GB bootloaders, using samurai kernel now. First install didn't do a full wipe. On second install I used the CWM for factory reset which didn't erase the Internal SD files. Any advices? Plan on using GB for daily use and heavy app use so performance is an issue. Thanks :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
And exactly what was it you did love about this rom?? :D Are you on att GB bootloaders (att white screen comes up on boot?) then that's good, samurai kernel, that's good. You need to do a full wipe tho coming from cog. Follow the install instuctions from OP. Sounds like you need to start over. Performance is great on this.

btw install from OP is:

Installation Procedure (General):

(Recommended for users already running KJ3 based ROM)

- Take a backup of your stuff. (DO NOT USE NANDROID)

- Make sure you have ATT GB Bootloaders running. If not, flash UCKJ3 Stock ROM with bootloaders first.

- Flash Boog's KJ3 Kernel, if you dont have CWM Recovery installed

- Place Illuminance_v1.x.x.zip on your sdcard, reboot in recovery.

- Wipe data & cache. Install ZIP.

- Enjoy! :)

Does anyone know what could be causing me to not get texts? I get some but not others. I'm on 2.1.1 & it also happened on 3.1.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlluminatedOne:
Data restored by TiBu is the culprit here.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZephCr:
Ok, any way to fix it without flashing? I only restored the data i had to restore. Do you have an idea of which app i shouldn't restore the data with?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlluminatedOne:
You should avoid to restore any data for system apps for sure. Best is select only a handful of apps and restore data for them.

This issue (of not being able to receive msgs) have been discussed in development thread and issue was resolved with a clean install, no data restored. So I would advise you to just perform a simple factory reset from cwm recovery.

I have been having a volume bug where my volume is reduced to a specific value randomly. I'm sure I didn't do it myself as I haven't experienced this issue before the Illuminance ROM but it has the smoothest stock browser so I'll be sticking with it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZephCr:
The only system apps i restore are my bookmarks & my contacts. I thought google automatically did the contacts, it doesn't seem to work for me. What's the trick? Do you think that's what's causing my issue?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiryusama:
I managed to fix it so far by starting over as you stated. I think the issue was, when I flashed the boog kernel after the stock GB, I pushed the update.zip i used in froyo to root it. I skipped that this time and seems to be working just fine. Thanks for the help :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayB1991:
So far I've had the rom for a week and I love it, i actually have service in my house now and can send messages for once. That being said I only have one small issue concerning apps; for some reason they will close themselves when I try to multitask, such as taking a screenshot of a message, or they will close themselves when the phone is not in use, this has only happened with music for me but doesn't happen all that often. It's not that much of a problem right now but I'm wondering If I should reflash the rom to and perhaps try a different kernel (running 2.1 with boog kernel still)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZephCr:
I just did a factory reset but before I did I tried to sync my contacts with att address book because I could never get google to do it. I always used tibu but you said I shouldn't. Anyway after signing up with att address book I saw it flashed something about cyogenmod and voiding my warrenty. Did I just screw myself by letting them in to my phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
Sometimes things can get weird for what appears to be no reason at all :o And when there's nothing concrete, generally the suggestion is just to flash it again. If you love this rom (2.1) try flashing 3.0. It will also automatically flash a new kernel for you as well. You can flash it right over the top of 2.1. It's a full wipe so you'll have to reinstall all your apps, but it's worth it. :) If you restore your apps via TiBu, try restoring only the app not the data at first as this is the best way to make sure it all works, then you can go back and restore some of the data. And then enjoy a really great experience on a really great Rom. :D

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

I've never had any problems with google sync, sorry you did. I've not used att sync for contacts, but I wouldn't worry about voiding the warranty. At&t is going to say that about any kind of rooting or modifying. It's their cya policy. You can always flash back to stock if you need to. It's your phone, you make the call! ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZephCr:
I had to restore my contacts with tibu anyway. I hope it doesn't screw with my texts again. How do I sync my contacts on the phone to google, I had 3 work that weren't even actual contacts. I have auto sync on but it doesn't seem to do anything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlluminatedOne:
Open Contacts app, hit menu, choose More>settings > Save Contacts to > Google, hit back. Hit menu again and then choose Sync Contact. (this will sync your newly saved contacts to google)

Hit menu again, choose merge with google. (this will merge your contacts with google and you will need to do it only once) It might jumble up a few contacts especially if you have save some contacts with different names then those people have used in their email accounts. That you can fix from your GMail account > contacts through browser on pc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZephCr:
I don't see merge with google anywhere. I have contacts saved on my phone and on my sim with doubles. I should just clean but if I can save them all on google I can easily organize my contacts. I've accumilated why too many over the years.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
Under the saved contacts, do you see the three options? Phone, Sim and google? Select google, then sync. You may need to change your google email program on your computer to sync with mobile device. Not sure about that last part, can't get to my computer to check. Hope this helps.

installed this rom earlier today and gotta say great job on this rom, so far so good. Running the default samurai kernel (for now, might try Corn to compare). Installed the ICS theme and looks awesome. My only question is gps and service. I seem to have decent phone service with minor fluctuations (loose a bar or 2 in same location). GPS has never been great for me on my captivate for some reason. I did the whole supl. setting changes and it finds satellites and it might connect to them for only a couple seconds. I'm wondering if there is a better modem i could download, just have no idea which one. Was wondering if anybody who is located on the east coast around PA has found a working modem.

yea that's not my biggest concern, although i am getting awful download/upload speeds on 3g. For example was in class today and tested my dwnld/upld speeds and was getting .37mbps dwn/ .09mbps up. and cell service struggled to keep 1-2 bars. I know buildings can obstruct signals but i was getting much better service and speeds before (did a test at home and was getting 1.31d/.10up so i guess it all just depends on where i am). Oh well, ill do like i said and just mess around with modems and see which one works for me. Thanks all for the inputs.

This volume bug I've been experiencing seems to be the notification volume. I unchecked the "use incoming call volume for notifications" and set all values to the loudest and my incoming call volume has been solid but the notification volume keeps defaulting to a lower set value each time. Its annoying but not really anything major, I experienced the same on Illuminance 2.1 and now 3.0

Notification bar prioblem

Hi,

I installed Illuminance 3.0 on a family member's captivate a few days ago, and so far so good for the most part. Great job on the rom, its pretty slick and much faster than stock. We are having one issue though.

The notification bar will randomly hang - it will fail to pull down for several seconds before it starts moving, and will also freeze when it is pulled down as well. This didn't happen before on stock froyo (UCKB2) with kernel 2.6.32.9. I removed the toggles that the phone didn't support from the notification bar panel, such as flashlight, so it should be out of the equation.

Would switching to the samurai kernel help with this at all, or does illuminance 3.0.1 include a fix for this? From the changelog I found at AndroidCentral, it was just the email fix, but I'm not sure.

Is there a known fix for this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Current Setup:

-----------------

Illuminance 3.0

Boog kernel

I flashed UCKJ3 Stock ROM with bootloaders first.

For installation, I followed the "General" instructions on the Weebly illuminance installation page. We wiped cache/data as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlluminatedOne:
Illuminance 3.0.1 is just Email fix and it is useless unless you use Email app which comes with the phone.

I would advice you to try Corn Kernel 6.03.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clambake12:
any chance there's a way to get the haptic buttons to light up on notifications (ie when you have a text the buttons light up) or is this a feature that has to be built into the rom itself. Its just one of the features i miss from previous roms. Im just being picky though i really like this rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlluminatedOne:
That is BLN feature which has to be cooked into the kernel. Can't be done until we get kernel source code. You can try NoLED from market.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clambake12:
Alright cool thanks for clearing that up for me. Ill check it out.

Questions from first ROM

I just completed Illuminance III installation on an AT&T I897. This is my second ROM , and I am really excited about it. Thank you to IlluminatedOne and this community for allowing folks like me to participate!

#1- Just for the record, here is what I did to upgrade:

From Stock, I had gone to a leaked KK1. From here, I followed the directions from IlluminatedOne at http://illuminance.weebly.com/installation.html. (flash kernel, boot to recovery, factory data clear, cache clear, update zip from SD)

All was good last night, but I couldn't leave well enough alone :-)

Issue #1- Stuck on AT&T Logo after TiBu app removal.

Swype kept nagging about a new version being available.. I went to beta.swype.com and downloaded the new version. It failed to install because of the existing version. When I couldn't remove the previous version on my one, I tried using TiBu to delete it. TiBu wanted to use an exploit and reboot the phone. After this, I was stuck on the AT&T Boot logo. Recovery mode was not available, but download mode was. I then used Odin to push the previous kernel that was part of the installation instructions from IlluminatedOne (boog_KJ3_kernel3.tar).

Phone is booting again, and appears normal. As for swype issue, I will have to research more..

Issue #2- Software versions..

After the work mentioned above, I now have the following software revs:

Firmware 2.3.5

Kernel I897UCKJ3

Build Illuminance 3.0 UCKK4

I will push Samurai 1.4.3 to the phone in a minute, should solve the kernel version issue that I created :o

Question #1- Illuminance Version 3.0 or 3.0.1?

I am showing as 3.0, but OP for this ROM was for 3.0.1 Did I miss something here, or is the last digit a minor release that doesn't show in the reported version on the phone.

Question #2- Any hints on changing the boot animation? Tried various ways, managed to kill the stock animation, but still can't get the custom one to run..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
First of all, welcome to the best I897 Rom available. :)

As for issue #1, yeah, we all had the same Swype update thing. I'm at work so can't get you the links right now, but if you search this thread or the Apps and Themes thread under Swype upgrades, there's detailed explaination of how to uninstall and upgrade newer version.

Issue #2, sure, install new kernel, either Samurai or Corn, both KK4, both work with Illuminance, and can be flashed right over. Especially Corn. With Samurai you might need to disable lagfix first then flash.

As for Question #1, Illum 3.0 or 3.0.1, only the stock email app was changed. If you use Gmail or something else, then don't worry about it.

Question #2, as for boot animation, it can be changed but usually that's a bit involved and there are others that would be better at advising you how to do that. A suggestion tho, check out the ICS theme for Illuminance, it's a very clean theme without overdoing it and it installs a different boot animation that is one of the coolest I've seen. :D Just my .02
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davensocal:
RTBee-

Thanks for taking the time to respond.. I am truly embarassed by the swype issue.. Cleaning and reloading is detailed right on the Illuminance website. Beating my head trying to figure out how I missed that so many times!

Illuminance Site

For Boot Animation: I found the info I needed on another post, apparently GB uses a different file name for the boot animation (sanim.zip). Thanks to ugoff for this post.

Original Post

**Edit: Ooops, had a small issue this evening.. Sorry if I get the terms wrong.. My phone was automatically restarting from the boot animation point (looks like a warm boot). After about 8 of these, it finally settled down and seems to be fine again. Question: Initial searches didn't show any good info on how to provide meaningful feedback to the ROM developer for such an issue. Anyone care to point me in the right direction so I can learn? Who knows, maybe I can contribute in this way :-)

hmm does not seem to be working for me. The icon i have in the app drawer is blue "@" the icon in files you listed is green, don't know if that matters. But the bigger problem is not being able to copy the new png file into the folder, it just dumps it in the app folder below the email.apk instead of into the res/drawable-hdpi.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
If you have ADW EX or Launcher Pro, you can change it at will.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clambake12:
Yea I knew launcher pro could do it, and i do have it but im using ICS launcher and right now you can only change icons on the homescreen.

****____________*******

Figured it out. Figured id post in case theres anybody else trying to do the same. The file you need to swap out is icon.png in /res/drawable-hdpi using 7zip and opening the email_kk4.apk then putting the apk back on your phone. hitting myself in the head cause now it seems straight forward easy stuff ("icon.png" oooooooooo duhh makes sense).

I am looking for feedback here as to which kernel seems to work best. Also wondering if I need to do anything besides DL the .zip and flash from CWM. Seems to be a lot of info about changing lagfix setting before flashing. I just have Illuminance 3.0.1 stock with an ICS Theme. AFAIK, there is some lagfix enabled by default.
