Ive been searching and searching and have not been able to find it. Hopefully it does exist already. Rom im using is supernova with CW3. EXT 4 so it would have to be compatible with that. Also if there is to many known issues with it let me know. TIA.

No push?
Is it just me, or does this app not support push/IMAP Idle? Even with Gmail set up using IMAP, the emails don't come until refreshed or it checks for new mail, and there is no option for "as items arrive."
What's the deal with that? Very disappointing, unless I'm missing something.

I copied and pasted to system/apps but won't install. Am I doing something wrong?
edit: fixed with reboot

Do you guys happen to know if this version still has the same issues as the version that's been floating around since the galaxy tab came out?
I've flashed it before, worked great, or so I thought, until without warning I stopped receiving e-mail pushes. Apparently its an issue specific to exchange (which I'm using) with specific e-mails that will lock it up and prevent any new e-mails from being pushed. If you delete said problematic e-mails, it will start syncing again, but I can't take that chance with work.
If any of you guys happen to use exchange with this new galaxy tab e-mail app and have reliable success with it I'd love to hear about it. Otherwise it's plain old regular email app for me

jagerrom 1.7

Has anybody tried 1.7 yet? Wondering if Facebook sync works - seems like this doesn't work on any roms I have tried yet...
Don't believe you can sync Facebook in Jager 1.7
I can confirm it does not support syncing Facebook contacts. It also doesn't support live wallpapers. I just learned that a few minutes ago. Not a big deal to me, but I know for some that is a deal breaker.
ya, there's no HTC facebook option, and i can't select the regular facbook. i would just use his sense rom for facebook, plus it has hydras undervold kernel and wireless N included.
anyone been able to get titanium backup to work with this rom, for some reason app wont open then fc's after a bit
I've had no issues running titanium backup on jager 1.7. You might wast to try reinstalling it.

So no live wallpaper is confirmed?
I really want to go vanilla, and 1.7.3 seems to be a great rom. Just wish we could figure this damn facebook sync thing out..
Got it working on 1.7.3 - by using the facebookupdate that yeti put in his thread - sorry Yeti if I shouldn't do that

New Gmail app cannot open .xlsx files?

Hello Nexusers
I hope it's the right place to post it, it's related to ICS 4.0 and the newest Gmail app.
Some time ago I decided to check an .xlsx file through Gmail app. It sent the file straight to pre loaded I guess, ThinkFree Office. What happened next amazed me a lot, ThinkFree asked me about the password to the file. The thing is there is no password because I can easily open it on my PC.
Can anybody check if Calc .xlsx files can be opened on your phone?
Cheers

I think this is dependent on you having something like Docs2go or some other program that can open an xlsx file.

You are correct. It's entirely up to what apps you have that handle them. The included ThinkFree might not, I'm still waiting for mine so can't test it.
Depends what app you have available to open it. You should be able to open it with Google Docs if you have it installed.

BugMailer..? SOLVED / ANSWERED

Anyone knows what this is? It randomly asks permission to send out an email or sms. Baffled..
Edit: how to solve (posted by user gpierani) "" There is a file in /system/bin called bugmailer.sh if you rename it to something like bugmailer.sh-old then reboot it should stop ""
Need to bump this; anyone knows what it is? It looks like it's connected to taking a screen shot by Volume down + power button but not succeeding; this email request comes up then.

Wtf.. I just found some info pointing towards that as well. Android source that sends bug reports to Google without authorisation..??
Yeah, I get this on the CDMA Nexus, too. Running Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast 4.0.3 with his kernel. There is a bugreport binary and a bugmailer.sh that I'm thinking about renaming to prevent it from happening...
I would like To know if i just can delete it

I actually tried a few roms and was getting it quite often on anyone i tried!

.. a quick follow on, you prob have loads of screen shots in your gallery too.
I ran a LogCat on my Galaxy Nexus Device (GSM), and can see before the dump begins it always happens right after the screen state gets set (*** Set_Screen_State 1)
I get usually all of my 'BugMailer' dumps when my phone is on the lock screen or being woken up!
This all Comes from a file called bugmailer.sh cant i just delete it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App
I am also having this issue. By default, it wants to send the Bug Reports to my own email address, not very helpful. Has anyone figured out how to remove this? Or who at Google to send these to so we can annoy them with Reports until they figure out a solution?

Good idea, get a Google email address!
its just an automated bug reporting system. It doesn't send anything without authorization. I have seen this since running 4.0 sdk ports on my nexus s. What always pondered me was the emails it creates are from ME to ME which isn't reporting it to anyone who gives an ish
There is a file in /system/bin called bugmailer.sh if you rename it to something like bugmailer.sh-old then reboot it should stop
Tested on my Nexus S
I just deleted it this morning ans since then everything is ok

I bet you it was eating loads of battery as well.. Thanks!!
I love that the code in the bugmailer script has a note that says "Makes it easy to send report to oneself." Thanks?

What/how is everyone renaming the file?
I tried the File Manager that came with the ICS Rom (i think its the open kang rom)
and it says "UNABLE TO RENAME".. then "UNABLE TO DELETE" I also tried 2 other file managers off the market but same results
Please what is the best way.. im really fed up of texting someone and it slows down taking a screenshot with personal information displayed then opening gmail with it.. then i look in my drafts every night to find 40+ drafts with bugs and lots of screenshots!
Thanks in advanced!
PS: If possible please give me a why removing it from the phone... my computer with the drivers on decided to die on me so i have no drivers to open the folders (lost the link so cant download to the laptop) If not possilbe (if have to do through comptuer) anyone have the link to download to laptop?

As I understand it you'll need root access to delete the old gmail apk and move the new one to system, so yes.
You don't need CWM or a rom though, just root access on a stock rom and recovey will be fine.
Well I had to take it off, somehow it seems my google music stopped working after installing this. I made a nandroid backup beforehand and as soon as I rolled back my music worked again. Strange. Really seems weird that would cause any issue at all... Maybe it somehow messed up the account syncing since it would only crash the music when I tried to stream music, local content was fine.

Awesome, trying this now. Been hoping for this. The all white makes my eyes water in the morning because it is so bright...
The date on each email looks a little funny because its color is off, and at times goes outside the border. Also the read vs unread black/grey are very similar. It works though. I'll probably live with it.
I've been using this dark gmail app for days and like it. But just today i realized i went to compose a message and there is no way to send the final email. Am i missing something? Doesnt matter whether its a new email, or a reply to an existing email message, i cant send anything!
Am i being stupid or can someone test or confirm this? Thanks.

Been using these for a few weeks on gummy and CNA. Working great and they look good too.
Ok after more digging, this dark gmail is acting weird for me. It is the new ice cream version for everything including inbox etx. But when i compose a new email or reply to existing one, the compose window goes back to the gingerbread one, AND it has no send button. And no action bar etc. But if i go back to the inbox its fine there. I just cant compose.
Only change ive done is 2 days ago flashed the transparent status bar system ui apk. Im on stock 4.0.1. Anyone know what the heck could be going on here?

i just installed the gmail app from that link, and it is the old version just like it said. not the new ICS version. dammit i just want black gmail!
this might help other people. the link in the beginning of the thread had a broken gmail apk, the send button was missing with other stuff. it was all fixed and can be had over at this thread from the nexus s forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412997
that thread actually links back to the one at beginning of this thread, but dont know yet if they updated to the fixed send button version. anyway this has been driving me nuts and glad i finally found the solution.
regarding the other link to the (http://www.rujelus22.com/evo/downloads.php) i tried the google + from that and it also did not work, and broke my system UI. so i dont know if it needs to be for 4.0.3 or what, but i'm on 4.0.1 and it doesnt mention any info about that. hope this saves others some time!

Contacts FC - Touchwiz Jelly Bean Leak

I am posting this thread in an effort to reduce the congestion in development threads relating to the force closing issue of the contacts app in Touchwiz Jelly Bean roms based off the recent Bell leak. The following are solutions that are working for some, but not for others:
1. Go into recovery, clear cache, fix permissions and reboot.
2. Open accounts & sync options, select Google, un-check and re-check contacts.
3. Open a contact through your call log. For some this fixed opening the contacts app, for others it only allows you to view the one specific contact.
4. Restore a previous titanium backup of contacts app.
5. Install SecContacts.apk from a device where the contacts app is working.
6. Change the permissions to rw rw r in secContacts.apk and seccontactsprovider.apk, then fix permisions - Thanks Rybean
7. Flash the odexed bloated version, then reinstall that version without a wipe. - Thanks AntiSyrum
Please feel free to add any other solutions that have worked and discuss this issue in detail. Please keep all discussion here and out of development threads.
I want to note that 1-4 above have not worked for me. I cannot try 5 until I get my hands on a deodexed version of a working apk.
I had to change the permissions to rw rw r in secContacts.apk and the seccontactsprovider.apk then went in recovery and fixed permissions and it worked.

Didn't fix it for me, but did change it to a normal fc vs. a total device freeze, so that I don't have to reboot my device when trying.

thats funny, cause before i only got the device freeze, never a fc so it was a pain in the ass to find what worked for me.
Guys I think I found a pretty simple and easy solution.
Go to the Market/search contacts app. Install Go Contacts EX. BOOM.
My contacts synced instantly without me doing a thing and now contacts are issue free!

Not sure I follow? Are you saying the installation and sync of Go Contacts will result in the stock contacts app working issue free? If not, are you suggesting a replacement contacts app? On the latter, I am not sure replacing touchwiz ui/functionality would be be a popular solution for those wanting a stock tw rom, we have cm10 for that.

Your right. I am suggesting a replacement contacts app. Like I said, it's just simple and easy workaround until things get worked out. In Smartguys thread some guys were able to fix this issue and some weren't. This is for the guys who haven't had any success with the solutions suggested in Smartguys thread.
You will lose the ui/functionality, but there were guys in the thread who said they've tried every solution to get it to work but just couldn't make it happen.
So this is an easy way to use your phone until issues get worked out.

As a temporary solution I agree, but I was hoping to garner more stock app fixes in the pursuit of reducing that temporary period for more people.

I started getting FC's on Contacts after installing an earlier JB-leak. But I used an external launcher (Go Launcher, if I'm not mistaken), and removing this solved my problem. Every FC since then has been solved gradually by keeping up to date on JB-leaks.
