Hi,
I came across the email.apk from the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which seems to work quite well on the S1. Unfortunately it works quite good on the S2 aswell!
The "only" issue I got so far is the faulty email notification, which simply does not work at all.
Anyone interested in modding this app?

Any devs here interested in getting Kies Air to work on the Gnex?
- My understanding is that it should work with galaxy products. Yet, I am unable to install it. If you need the Kies.apk I will gladly upload it otherwise check out google.
I enjoyed this APK on my Galaxy S II from TmoUSA - Was hoping it would work out for my Gnex. - Not sure if it needs framework or just updates to internal code of the Apk.
What does it do?

The APK allows you to view files ect.. and sync via the samsung Windows $oftware. It also allows you to manage the phone via Wifi - thus no need for sync cable and so on. Its rather nice imo and well coded. I found very few issues with it when i have my SGS II.
Anyone had any luck with this? I liked the ability to manage my GS2 as well as send and receive text messages from my phone through my browser.
I would like to be able to do this on my Galaxy Nexus as well, I know its not officially supported but I figured the xda community would have a work around
Try Airdroid while waiting for Kies Air available?
I had no idea such a thing existed, fantastic!
thanks again
Hi all,
I just had two questions relating to the Galaxy Nexus which I bought a couple of days ago
1. When I receive a text or email, on my old Galaxys S2 it used to have a number next to the icon. For example if two people had text me, the number two would show up next to the text message icon informing me. This doesn't appear to be happening on my Galaxy Nexus. Is that normal?
2. One of my favourite widgets on the Galaxy S2 was the Mini Paper widget. I've got the .APK for it, but it doesn't seem to install on the Galaxy Nexus. Does anyone know how this widget can be installed?
Hope someone can help me out
1. That is part of touchwiz, the Samsung equivalent of Sense on HTC devices. The Galaxy Nexus is a pure Google experience device, but you can find widgets on the Android Market that will give you badges for SMS/Email.
2. That APK might need the touchwiz framework to work, no idea though.

Thanks for the reply ZeroBarrier.
Regarding the first question, I just wanted to make sure that this was universal to all Galaxy Nexus' and not just mine LOL. Strange how this feature doesn't exist though as I thought it was very useful on my S2.
Regarding the second question, if anyone does know how to get the Mini Paper widget working on the Nexus Galaxy, please let me know
Regarding the Mini Paper widget, have you tried ColorNotes from the market? Not EXACTLY the same but gets the job done

I've tried ColorNotes but didn't really like it to be honest mate. The S2's Mini Paper
I feel is the best quick note taking widget out there. Everytime I try installing it, the process just fails
Surely there must be a way to make it work? It's only a small widget LOL

So it's not possible at all then to get this widget ported over to the Nexus?
I heard somewhere that Touchwiz widgets require the Touchwiz framework.
*cough*
The same goes for Sense widgets, Blur widgets, and any other manufacturer-UI widgets.
I'm not sure if I posted this in the right place or not. I can't post in the Development thread right now, since I am a relative noob to posting here.
I rommed my SM-T210R (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, 7.0", WI-fi only) with NoleKat 1.3.
It works great, but I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for getting S-Voice working.
I downloaded several versions of it
The S5 version I downloaded will crash right upon opening.
The S4 version works, but nothing is picked up on the mic.
The S3 version works for a few moments, then it, too, crashes.
All ideas are welcome.
Never mind...
I found the link to S-Voice in gr8nole's original post. Works great!
I just bought a Nexus 7 (2013) after using a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 for the last couple years. I also have a Galaxy S 4. I've now tried 4 other email apps but find that the stock Samsung email app works perfectly for everything I want to do. Does anyone know where I can find Samsung email version 4.4.2.0200 as a standalone app so I can install it on the Nexus? If anyone knows where I can find the APK it sure would be appreciated.
Most Samsung apps are TouchWiz dependant. Your better off looking on the playstore for a replacement. K9 mail, aqua mail...etc

Thanks for your quick response. I was afraid that was going to be the answer. I tried K-9 and I find it to be funky with the way it treats deleted mail on the server and in a few other areas. Haven't looked at Aqua but did try some other email apps. Never realized how useful some of the Samsung specific apps are. In the short time I've had the Nexus I love the speed, cellular capability and various other things (including the price) but miss a number of features from Samsung.

Try tot extract the APK (from your s4 or tab) with 'Lucky Patcher' and sideload it on your N7.

Have you tried CloudMagic? It's a damn nice email app. I use it to combine all my inboxes from different providers (Yahoo, hotmail and gmail). I used to be on Samsung and this one beats it hands down.
Why not just let Gmail manage the other email accounts

I was told that the gear S2 is not compatible with the Tab S2, has anyone tested it, and can confirm this is true.
Update.
I have tested this and can confirm it does not work, not sure of the reason behind it.
That's odd... my gear live works just fine with it... I'm curious though why you would want it synced to your tablet and not your phone though?
I have Galaxy Tab S2 LTE and it's not compatible. Main issue is the Gear Manager app cannot load.

I have the international Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T815) with voice capability, and it really irritates me that the Gear S2 is incompatible with it. It would be nice to use the watch and tablet together, instead of needing a phone simply to install Gear Manager. I suppose you can sideload the Gear Manager apk on the tablet, but it's inconvenient.

Side upload is not possible, it won't detect the watch, I have tried it at the samsung shop.
I had a S4 mini at that time with android 4.2 which you need 4.3 and above to work, thats why I tried to pair it with the tablet (Tab S2 SM-T715), now I have a V10 which should work, just waiting for the rose gold version of the classic, since the 3G version isn't available in my country.
Hello I have a Verizon tab s2 I sure no root at all. I have the gear s2 would love to get gear app to work. I can't edit buildprop.. maybe someone working on the gear app it self to help with this or am I out of luck......thanks
Yep Gear Manager - typical Samsung stupidity.
Now it's possible with samsung flow

Just need to change the device fingerprint, it should be fine.
MagiskHide Props Config v4.0.2 <-- Use that, switch your device to something that is compatible, install the required app. You may have to wipe cache / data to the play store, first.
