Mail vs Gmail

I son't want to steal this thread, but this i s very interesting. Since I use Android ()from 1.5 times till now) I've always used gmail app for well gmail:) But it has it's issues, like inability to send notification to third party aps and so on.

Can you please tell me how is your experience with using gmail in mail app? Did you try gmail app?

If someone here is using mail app with gmail account I'd also like to hear your opinions on this. Let's face it, Sony's mail app with two pane view and other improvements seems way better than gmail even from ics:P

Thank you in advance:)

Any luck Nimche? Have tried the Deutch ROM but still the same problem.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
NO,

and I gave up waiting for CM9 release whenever, hopefully soon and maybe that fixes the issue.

For time being, I have added all my Google apps account to Gmail account which works OK, actually they work just right.

Are you adding Google Apps too?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MarcoZM1978:
Thanks for the answer, hope I can do that soon cause I got a locked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
I don't think you are required to have unlocked bootloader to achieve this.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MarcoZM1978:
I meant the CM9 part not the gmail one. I got my accounts on gmail app too but I do like that the core mail shows notifications in the lockscreen.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
I don't like it either but for time being is OK, Now with seeing Jelly Beans and more exciting feature, that is what I want :D I am about to buy a Nexus Galaxy and take Sony hardware out and put that phone's chip in there :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] joshua_sx1:
Actually, I'm using my gmail account for purchasing of Apps only... and I always received notification (like yesterday, when I purchased "MyBackUp Pro")... this morning, I sent an email to my gmail account using my corporate and yahoo acounts (through Xperia S stock email)... just received and replied... and all of them are working normally...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] joshua_sx1:
What I was really looking is a widget for Xperia S stock email app...

Anyone?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Has anyone figure this out yet? I hate to use the Gmail app for regular email. This seems to be more like Sony's app issue.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mharckk:
get the semcemail.apk from xperia T files,

1. use root explorer or rom toolbox or any file manager with root access, delete the original semcemail.apk or rename it to semcemail.apk.bak (location /system/app)

2. copy and paste the xperia t semcemail.apk to /system/app.

3. change permission to rw-r--r--.

4. go to settings then look for email app then clear data.

5. open your email app then log again your data,

6. now you can choose the widget on homescreen.

look @ development section or general section, there's a thread for the xperia T files.

Just wanted to finally answer my own question. This is what I did and it worked.

Delete data on email app.

In Titanium backup, remove Email app and Exchange app

Restart

Go to this thread and download two files HERE

Change name (get rid of Google)

Move files to Memory

Move files to System folder

Change permission to RW-R-R

Move files to System/apps

Restart

and email app should fully function.

Hello,

May be it is not related but I have a question:

I use stock email.apk in my GT-N8000 tablet. My gmail account is not working as push mail from this apk. Is there a solution with these two apk? I prefer stock email.apk because it supports pinch to zoom, etc. and I want to check all my mails from one mailbox (apk)

Thank you very much in advance.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daede86:
Hi guys!!

i have a doubt... i want to "clean" my defy+ so i decided to flash a stock sbf, format sd, charge the battery and then go back to cm!

my doubt is: does the performance (on cm) change depending on the sbf i flash?? or after flashing a custom rom, there won't be any difference??

becuase i read some users saying nordic froyo is the best..

thanks!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiskenigaten:
I don't think "cleaning" your phone will give you more than a placebo effect. Are you on bl5, bl6 or bl7?

In my opinion it's not too important what sbf you have as base, but the kernel you flash. I'm on bl6, so I can flash both froyo and gb kernels. If i want to go back to stock and charge my battery to maximum after using a froyo rom, i only restore this 4.5.1-134_DFP-231 nandroid with 4.5.3-109 or 4.5.2-109-DHT22 kernel. I'm on bootolader 6, so i've flashed a fixed sbf with the bl6 froyo sbf bootloader (here)

For every-day use, I have the 4.5.2-109-DHT22 kernel on gb roms. When i flash this over my stock gingerbread rom together with a custom rom (gingerbread rom that is), i get great battery (with deepsleep). Also, gingerbread kernels support 4 vsels in bootmenu and IMO reads the battery level much more correctly.

What you can do to your defy+ depends a lot on what bl version you're on. If you have bl7, you can't flash froyo kernels, etc.

Haven't really got any experiences with kernels and speed/performance.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daede86:
firt at all thanks for your help!! :)

actually i'm not sure about my bootloader.. i think it's bl6 but i never got how to understand it...

DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-132

is it bl6??

it's strange because i everytime i flash 4.5.2-109-DHT22 kernel i get bootloader error.. but i can root it normally so i don't think it's bl7!

thanks again for your help!!

I've been trying with no luck

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] modplan:
I've done it for several, no issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pinky059:
Yeah, I have made several. The issue with Odex though is that we all have to be on the same base. OMJ helped me a bit so credit to him for the first one, I did. But, I have a 1x/3g and quicksettings SystemUI.apk, a Settings.apk with the data/wifi deep sleep fix, a Rosie with landscape and 360 scrolling, etc.

Which were you looking for?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skanndelus:
recent apps as menu button, hides the on-screen menu botton, long press home for recent apps

i like quick settings also

so what was your method for doing this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] modplan:
you just run dexopt-wrapper on the deodexed apk, delete the classes.dex file from the apk, done.

there are plenty of tutorials.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skanndelus:
yes I'm very new to this. I tried a handful of methods without success. I wiki continue to try. in the meantime though, has anyone posted any ?

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pinky059:
This will assume you have setup dexopt-wrapper

steps to odex:

1. copy the modded deodexed Rosie.apk to /sdcard2

2. I'm pretty sure u need to be booted into Android to do this, so make sure you're booted up

3. adb remount

4. adb shell

5. cd /sdcard2

6. dexopt-wrapper Rosie.apk new.odex /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/framework2.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/apache-xml.jar:/system/framework/HTCDev.jar:/system/framework/HTCExtension.jar:/system/framework/filterfw.jar:/system/framework/com.htc.android.bluetooth.jar:/system/framework/wimax.jar:/system/framework/usbnet.jar:/system/framework/com.orange.authentication.simcard.jar

7. busybox dd if=/system/app/rosie.odex of=new.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc

8. cd /system/app

9. busybox cp /sdcard2/new.odex Rosie.odex

10. busybox chmod 644 Rosie.odex

11. Reboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fastmikey1969:
If you want to run the mods just use the deodex apk and rename the .Odex file to .Bak

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beeroatsnp90x:
In all sense roms I notice that after a call sometimes the htc media link initializes and also wifi turns on. Has anyone ever had this issue?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
Never experienced this before (though I don't make phone calls that often). Try turning off HTC Gestures in Settings -> Display & Gestures. It could be that the phone's screen is turning back in before you take it away from your face and the action of you moving it away is causing screen contact and the phone is mistaking that for a 3 finger swipe. I know it sounds a bit far fetched, but I've seen weirder things happen.

Hello,

Recently I have updated Android version on my XPERIA PRO to v4. It is official update using Sony's PC Companion. With new version of Android also are installed Sony's default apps. Some of them can be uninstalled like McAfee antivirus, Moxier Pro etc. Same apps were on previous version 2.3.5. of Android to, and I uninstalled them successfully. Now i can uninstall them also, but when i power up my phone again, those apps install automatically without my permission or intervention. How can I stop this happening? My phone is not rooted.

Hello there,

my girlfriends phone (Desire pvt4) is now running S-Off with an oxygen hboot and this rom: AN-Droid 2.2.0 data++ --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1426339

Everything is great (so thanks for this ROM and all the tutorials), but there is one problem left.

In the original ROm it was possible to store contacts on the SIM card, which had long names. With this ROM we can not add new/or modify old contacts. The namespace is cut down to 14 characters. Is there a way to change this behavior in Android?

Regards

I think it should be possible to store contacts with more than 14 characters, but I do not know yet how I can activate this behaviour. Somehow HTC can do this.

I´m using ICS TheMidTeam 1.61 with Kernel LQ3.

Thanks for the tip changing the two storages. I´ve read it already.

My question was only if it´s possible to change the stupid name of the internal storage ´cause my GS Note (and I think all Note users all over the world)

has an internal storage. The SDcard is always external. Just SDcard or external would be enough, double name is not necessary.

No other producer for example Motorola or HTC is using such a stupid name.

That´s why i´m asking if it´s possible only to change the name of the internal

storage.

Perhaps somebody has an idea.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
This is the standard for all Android devices the first storage that is mountable is always mounted to sdcard so that apps that require space to save files to can be sure there is somewhere to save it to.

Trust me its a very good reason to have it this way. Its been like this from the start as devices did used to only have external sdcards so to save every app dev changing there app it was just kept as the sdcard mount point

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poly0709:
I think what zacthespack said is the half of the truth.

My Motorola Milestone with Gingerbread is showing with root explorer the internal storage. There is one folder named "SDcard" and what´s behind: exactly how it should be: the EXTERNAL storage.

A SDcard is by definition a movable chip with a little bit of plastic around.

The internal storage never can be a SDcard because you cannot remove it of the device without damaging ist.

Since nearly 30 years I´m working with a PC. It´s soooooo!!! simple: in C:\ you find the system. If you have well programmed software you have the choice to install it where you want (d:\ for example), bad programmed software goes directly to C:\programs\???. Well done software offers you usually the possibility to put your data whereever you want.

Android stores the apps on the internal storage. With App2SD you can move them to the reel SDcard (external storage), with ICS they are moved to the root directory of the internal storage. Perhaps App2SD moves the apps there because of the stupid name SDcard for the internal storage.

Well done apps like Office Suite Pro giving you the choice to put your data wherever you want.-

I don´t want to change internal to externel (maybe also a matter of speed).

I ONLY want to change the WRONG name SDcard for internal storage to one which makes sense.

Sometimes I think there are engeneers tryin´to invent the wheel again by changing the round form to a triangle.

Would like to point out that the milestone doesn't haven't any internal useable storage it only has the sdcard other than what's used by the system which is completely different . This is my point the first mountable storage is called sdcard to save apps the trouble of asking the user.

And as android is based from Linux it would not use the drive lettering like windows.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poly0709:
Hi zacthespack,

I didn´t opened this thread for talking about the milestone which I have since 2,5 years. Also I´m not talking about its 512mb internal space, which is of course not complete usable (I have 142mb left and this space is ubable!).

I know since years that Android is based on Linux, you don´t have to tell me.

My simple question was: Is it possible to give the internal space another name?

SDcard is definitly wrong!!

If this name is a convention it will be difficult to change it.

If somebody is able to change it the internal storage should be named in future

perhaps "zacthespack".

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
Its likely possible to do but I have said it will cause issues with apps if there is no sdcard mount point and as you don't need to have a external sdcard then the internel memory must be mounted to /sdcard

Is it really that big a issue? Yes really android should have changed this by now but its already far to much a issue with the fact the external SD gets mounted where ever the phone company wants it to be.
