[HOWTO] Get Email reply working on JPH 2.2

Yes people! i've done it! got the Email.apk from Froyo 2.2 JIJP5 and got it working on JPH by deodexing it. Here is a short tutorial howto push it to your phone.
But thats old use the Cyanogenmod Email.apk (it's in this post)
You can choose:
Email deoxed.zip (original email client)
Email.apk (CM email client without security reinforcement)
Requirements:
- ADB and some basic knowledge of ADB
- rooted SGS I9000
- JPH firmware
Con's
- You have to set your Email again
Follow these steps:
1) First backup your original Email.apk (just in case)
Code:
adb pull /system/app/Email.apk
adb pull /system/app/Email.odex
2) Now move the original Email.apk and odex file a backup folder
3) Download the new Email deoxed.zip or the Email.apk (Cyanogen) and extract it in the ADB folder
4) Now push the new Email.apk to your /sdcard/
Code:
adb push Email.apk /sdcard/
5) Remove the original Email.apk and odex from your phone
Code:
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Email.apk
rm /system/app/Email.odex
6) Make sure Email is gone from the app drawer
7) Move the new Email.apk from /sdcard/ to /system/app
Code:
mv /sdcard/Email.apk /system/app/
8) Check if Email is in the app drawer again
Done! new Email app with a working reply function

Great!
You won't believe, just 30 secs ago - I pushed the cyanogen based (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007) email.apk to the phone!
Btw, can your mod circumvent the security policy?...

Nope can your's? does it work? because i tried the Evo email app and it didn't work! FC'd on me!
Please upload it here!

Mine works!
The Email.apk from the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007 Thread helps circumvent. Just accept the dialog for the first time when it asks during setup. No more bugging.
I removed the stock email.apk/odex files using the SGSTools before installing this.

thanks trying out now.
this will also rendered the mail/contact/calendar to be purged off and requires re setup of the exchange account sync.

Heeey MEN!!
YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE IN MY HEART.. hahahahahahahaha SOOOO GREAT! many thanks!!

after setting up my exchange account, my calendar doesn't sync anymore, so I'm not sure if this is the culprit. any advise? problem with android exchagne sync is that you can't see the status of the sync progress (unlike ms activesync)

Does this by chance contain any fixes for allowing a non standard port number to be specified when configuring exchange account?

Have you restarted the phone yet?

yup. restarted

It works here (on XXJPH at least)! Thanks so much!
The only thing I noticed is that the Email.apk from JIJP5 is not localized (at least not to German), but shows English text all around. That's not really a problem though, just in case anyone wonders.

does this fix the imap not deleting emails on the server bug aswell?

aha! I just installed touchdown for exchange sync and noticed emails deleted in touchdown were still on my PC's outlook... annoying!
anyone know if this email.apk fixes this?

strange, on my JPM it crashes/fc whenever I try to start it.

Hi guys I am trying to run this fix on my email.
I am running ODIN3 Froyo on my captivate but I keep getting a bunch of errors.
When I try to back up both files, it tells me that it cant find them. I tried to browse to the system/app directory but cant see the files.
When I try to copy email.apk to the sdcard I get an error that it a directory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Guys,
I tried the above steps, all of the commands worked except that I don't still see the Email app in the drawer. I see the Email.apk file in the /system/app folder, re-started my phone multiple times but the Email app is no where to be seen.
Any pointers?
I was running this on the Froyo 2.2 build on my Captivate!

Code:
mv /sdcard/Email.apk /system/app/
failed on '/sdcard/Email.apk' - Cross-device link
Everything is fine mail is removed but now i am getting this error pushing the new package to my phone.
Any ideas?

I'm getting an error trying to rm Email.apk and Email.odex (read-only system file). I used SuperOneClick to root my phone and I have SU but I'm wondering if it's not truely rooted. Any advice on how I can verify?
When I adb shell and then issue su, I don't get any errors - just the # prompt so it looks like it wants to work.
FYI, I'm doing this because I put Froyo on my new captivate and can't reply/forward exchange emails. I was pointed at this thread as a fix for that issue.
TIA!

Looks like this may have been a reboot or something issue. I was able to get in and remove the Email files.

FYI, I got the same error as mallama above so I just exited shell and did an adb push Email.apk instead of doing the mv from the sdcard... Everything is working great now.
Thanks, yet again, XDA!

[Q]How to restore Sense lockscreen?

This is going to be one of those things where some people cry out "Blasphemy!" But I will ask anyways.
I loaded up a ROM on my Evo that contains Sense everything, except the lockscreen. The ROM is perfect other than this problem. Despite my best efforts all I see is people asking how to remove the Sense lockscreen (wut?) and none trying to add it to a ROM after the fact. So I'm wondering if anyone would be kind enough to aid me in restoring the Sense lockscreen. I'd greatly appreciate the help.

Find the HtcLockscreen.apk and use adb to push it to /system/app/

If you're not good with adb, you can also use root explorer.

I've placed htclockscreen.apk into system/app but it doesn't enable the lock screen. Possible the APK I downloaded is misnamed.

I tried but it says "Application not installed." I assumed that meant that I couldn't install system APKs or something of the like. I'll look for another source for the file. I'm sure this one is just bad. (Random Mediafire link.)
Edit : I downloaded from a better source. But this file also will not install. Placed it into the correct folder and am now rebooting to see if it works.
Edit 2 : Definitely not working. Am I missing something? I just place it in the folder... then nothing happens.

You have to install it after it's place in the folder. Use your favorite file manager and click on the apk file.

Okay. Take your htclockscreen.apk, using Root Explorer preferably, and place it in /system/app. There is no need to install anything now. What is needed, is that you need to long press on the htclockscreen.apk after you copy it to the system/app folder, and press permissions. You must make sure that the "user" permissions are set "read" and "write". Make sure they're both checked. Once that is complete, reboot your Evo. You'll have the htc lockscreen, every time.
you can also use adb. If you don't have it all set up, there's an easy way around that. Download 'wireless adb' or 'adb over wifi' from the market. Activate that app (you have to have your wifi on), open up a command prompt and connect to your phone, by typing 'adb connect 192.sss.s.ss:8000' (it'd be your IP address and port, which the app will provide to you). Once connected, navigate to where you downloaded the htc lockscreen apk. (say it was in the folder C:\android, you'd type cd C:\android, then hit enter). Then do this. adb remount (hit enter).
adb push HtcLockscreen.apk /system/app (hit enter). Then type adb reboot (hit enter). That would be all you need to do. Either one of those two methods, with adb or the file explorer should solve your problem.

I've added the permissions as per your instructions and rebooted twice but I still have the stock lockscreen.

What ROM are you running? I was under the assumption (for some reason) that it was a nonsense rom (sense based, but most sense elements removed). Are you on an AOSP rom? If you are, I don't believe you can use a sense htc lockscreen at all, and I apologize for the mis information. If you are actually using a sense based ROM, then I'm not sure why it's not working. What file explorer are you using? Root Explorer?
Edit: I re read your OP. I see you are on a Sense based rom. What rom is it? Maybe I'll flash it and see if I can get the htc lockscreen working. I feel like flashing something....

Missing Gmail

I deleted my gmail by mistake. Using root explorer. I cant download it from the market. Were can I get the apk to restore.

You could download one of the ROMs in the Dev section. Take the .apk out of there and push it to /system/app.
However, I'm not 100% positive it will work because of the .odex file.

I found one that was 2.3.5.2 and was modded for the go launcher ex notifactions. Works but not the same as the one that was installed. Its a different look basically. Why wouldnt google have this in the market.

Here's the stock image from google. You can pull it from there.
I take it you have the VZW GN : https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mysid-icl53f-factory-65895fa8.tgz

yes verizon. i did try and pull the gmail.apk from a rom and tried to install and it wont.

how do i pull the gmail from that file u linked??

You should try pushing it with ADB.
Code:
adb push Gmail.apk /system/app

i suck with adb. what do i need to do?

1) Put the .apk in the same folder as adb.exe (located in Android SDK\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools on my computer. Yours could be different.)
2) Open the command window directed at that folder. (Hold shift and right click then from the drop down window click "open command window here")
3) Then enter
Code:
adb push Gmail.apk /system/app
4) Then
Code:
adb reboot
I've attached the Gmail.apk

it says im a read only file system and will not push it.

The file you sent me is working now. All I did was install the apk file like any other apk using root explorer. Thanks alot for all the help.

Yeah I forgot you had to be rooted.
Glad it worked for you.

Iam rooted. Thats what is werid. Only way I can use root explorer is if im rooted.

[Q] How to hide OTA update notification?

Does anyone know a method specific to the G2? I'm not worried about missing out on Knock Code right now and don't want to go through the effort required to unroot and root again and reinstall TWRP, but this notification just does not want to go away. I've seen similar threads but for other phones and wanted to make sure this phone doesnt have its own method for system update hiding.

You have to be rooted and use a file explorer to rename otacerts.zip or go under app settings and uncheck notifications for Google Services Framework.

can't seem to disable the notification

OK, I have done both, but cannot seem to disable the "System update downloaded" Notification.
1st I disabled the "Notification" from Google Services Framework and this didn't seem to make the message go away, even after a reboot.
2nd: I renamed the system etc security otacerts.zip file to otacerts.zip.bak using adb shell.
using these commands:
adb shell
# su
# mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /etc/security
# mv otacerts.zip otacerts.zip.bak
#exit
exit
These two things didn't seem to work. I also, don't care about the update if I need to unroot, and reflash.
Anyone have any ideas?
thanks

I also renamed /system/app/LGFOTA.apk
and cleared the Google services: Settings -> Apps -> All -> Google Services Framework -> Clear data
message is gone.

I deleted the file, instead of renaming it. I also just held down the notification, went to App info and unchecked the box. Rebooted and had no issues afterwards.

Stop prompt to install MM?

The instructions I have to stop the prompt to update to MM is to to System Folder > Etc > Security and rename “Otacerts.zip” to “Otacerts.zip.bak”. However, when I try to rename it, I get "access is denied."
I am using FX File Explorer with the root add on. I'm on 5.1.1.

I figured out what I was doing wrong in FX File Explorer and was able to rename Otacerts.zip” to “Otacerts.zip.bak. After rebooting, I am still getting prompted to install the system update.

I guess you have to know the correct keywords in search. This is what worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67197819&postcount=4
