[Q] Mail Client options - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Coming from the HTC world I am loving my SII. Soooo much smoother and more responsive, not to mention the hardware improvements. One of the small things I am missing is the mail client on the HTCs. I loved how you could multi-select any or all emails on the screen and choose delete, mark read, etc. Is there a mod, theme, or anything that will allow the mail clients on the SII to do this? Or tell me I am just missing an option or something and its already there.
Thanks,

The Gmail app should do it automatically.
You can replace the Samsung app with AOSP Email or K9 (build on AOSP email), which will both allow multi-select.

K9 is no good on exchange 2010. Will AOSP work with exchange 2010? I will look for the app, if you have a link post it up please.
Thanks,

Found the AOSP email.apk. Tried to push it to system/apps but I got an error when trying to install. I had the folder mounted r/w and permissions set correctly. Is there a tutorial on how to push an AOSP mail.apk ?

So you were asking Calk's thread about "installing" something. That shouldn't have been an option at all during the process. At what point were you seeing that option?
You don't need to do anything outside of what I have listed here:
Download or extract the desired app apk and place it somewhere on your SD where you can find it (I highly recommend Dropbox for this)
Open Root Explorer (or ROM Toolbox Root Browser or ES or Other) and navigate to /system/app
Mount R/W (top right in Root Explorer, R/W is on by default in ROM Toolbox)
If this is a system app, long press existing apk and either move (if you want to keep it) or delete (if you don't care)
If moving, navigate to the place you want to store the original apk using the Parent Folder line at the top
Paste to the desired location then go to the place with the new/replacement system apk
Longpress the replacement apk and choose copy or move
Navigate back to /system/app (should still be mounted) and paste the replacement apk
Longpress the replaced apk and select permissions
On the permissions pop-up leave all three in the first column (Read) checked, only the top item in the middle column (Write) checked and none in the third column, (Execute) and nothing else checked.
Hit OK and enjoy! Your permissions should now read (rw-r--r--)

can one of you please confirm if aosp email.apk is working with exchange? and please post the AOSP email.apk. If needed I can test with the multiple exchange accounts I have... on calks rom, I am having issues forwarding emails...

Here is the apk. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I don't have to use Exchange any more so I can't test it, but i know I have seen many posts on this over the past year or so. A Google search will probably net you the best way to get AOSP mail and Exchange working together.
Also for future reference it is much easier to just extract any apk you want from a ROM zip than to wait for someone to post it. If you are unsure how to do that, hit the HowTo's link in my signature. that knowledge will give you much more control over your experience going forward and can help you fix all sorts of issues.

Good find. My previous tutorial had the screen shots as well. Makes life much easier. Not sure if this apk is different from the one I posted, but I'd go with his just in case. I am pushing it now to test. If it works the same, I'll replace the one I posted with the one from that thread.
EDIT: Looks like this is the same as the one I posted. At least the version is the same. I didn't go through each item in the apk, but xml's are the same and all of the file sizes are the same, so not sure about the "wakelock fix" mentioned. Anyway, gald you are taken care of.

yeah, that wake lock is annoying... i got it working, i tested both, and they are the same... 1 problem... i cant get the notifications to be right... after installing. I had a notification showing, that i couldnt get rid of, i cleared data, and fixed permissions, rebooted several times, and couldnt get it to go away... I just wish I could get the samsung version without wake lock... Hmmm
anyways, restored nandroid, and i guess i will deal with wake lock, unless you know how to fix the notification i had in email and social hub. it wouldnt go away/.
and YES Exchange works on Both!!!

I have tried all the suggestions and all that happens are FC's. Sucks cause I really wanted the multi select back.

I think I got it. I was trying to install it on a stock rooted rom. I loaded up a different rom and it installed fine. I will run with it for a little while and see how it does. I am also having the notification issue.
Thanks for all the help.

The real bummer is that it was free app of the day on Amazon a couple of weeks back. But yes it is a good app.
As far as the notifications, I've seen the fix somewhere, but I can't find it. The first time I saw it was in a Google search. If I find the source, I'll post it here.

[APP] Updated 6 June, 2011, improved Email.apk (Gingerbread)

What is it? Originally this was a direct extract of the Email.apk from Nexus One 2.3.4; but the most recent update uses a bug-fixed version extracted from CM7. Primarily because the text prediction bar works in this Email app; while it seems to be missing from all the SGS Gingerbread Email.apks.
Update November 3: I have been using CM7 and don't see myself switching back... CM rocks!!
Update June 6: New version extracted from CM7 nightly that appears to really fix the problem where Exchange email accounts stop syncing, requiring a reboot of the phone. I've been using this build 4 days without sync problem. Relevant threads HERE and HERE
As far as I know this will only work on a Gingerbread ROM. Install via CWM. The installer will attempt to ERASE your emails and email account settings from your phone. This keeps the system from getting all goofed up due to database incompatibilities between Email.apks (Thanks nitr8 and styxx!)
I tested this under Juwe's ROM v4.2 and under Darkys 10.1 against my office Exchange server. It seems to work great.
I am not a developer by any means. What I've posted here is something hacked together out of nothing more than dumb luck. (Really, all I did was extract the APK from the CM7 nightly and modify the menu xml files to link to APK internal PNG images rather than linking to the phone framework PNGs. No actual program code changes were made by me.) If it bricks your phone and your hair falls out... sorry, but don't come crying to me. You have been warned! If this app doesn't work for you, please post anyway so I can laugh at you... Errr... I mean, so I can try to help you.
May 8th update: Some of the menu icons were not showing up properly. Spent some time with APK Manager and figured out how to add in the missing icons.
looks fun
ive tried this and it looks good and works well. The major issue for me as with all the older email apps is there is no "Move to folder" option..... which absolutely drives me nuts. I had it until I tried using the TAB email app, then tried going back but keep getting this same apk and am missing this option. Its a real pain!
Funny, I didn't even notice the "Move to Folder" option was absent!
For me the text prediction was a huge issue, and it was really my only motivator for trying it out. I'm very happy with how quick and responsive this app is. With the stock app I would get lag at different times, especially noticeable when deleting multiple messages. This Nexus version seems to delete them instantly. I also really like having the check-mark boxes present on the message list.
I haven't tried the TAB email app, are you saying the move-to-folder option is missing from the TAB version as well? Have you tried the SGSII Email app from this thread?
good plan
the option was there in the tab email app and also in the newer one of the galaxy but I cant find the apk for that! that'll teach me to back them up! I'll have a look at that thread anyway and see where it leads. Thanks for your work and your assistance.

THANK YOU. Samsung email client is sub-optimal. I feel like I can breath again. No more staring at the screen waiting to read an email.
Thanks for sharing !
Anyway, Landscape mode (as with Samsumg one) doesn't work with this Email.apk ... So I'll stay with my K9-mail app.

I use K9 for my personal email account, and the Nexus app for my work email account... and I don't see a difference in the way they handle landscape mode... so just curious, what am I missing?

It doesn't look significantly different. There are check boxes along the left edge of the message list view so you can quickly select multiple messages for deletion, otherwise it looks pretty much the same. The big difference is in how much more responsive it is over the Samsung client, and the fact that the keyboard text prediction bar works when using this email client.

There was a misunderstanding : Samsung app has a different landscape mode.
quick noob question. do i have to wipe anything before flashing this? I'm guessing no but want to be sure.
You need to flash the ZIP via from ClockworkManager, and it will attempt to wipe your email accounts to prevent force close issues due to email database differences between the Email.apk versions.

Thanks for posting this! I was killing myself trying to figure out why autocorrection and word prediction wasn't working on my gb rom. I installed it on my captivate running a gb rom (Serendipity VII). It works very nicely for me.
New version _actually_ seems to fix Exchange sync problem.
Thanks for the update. I had trouble getting it to connect over a good 3g signal, but it did so when I enabled wireless for the first sync. I hadn't noticed the synching problem but might not have used it long enough to see the problem. All seems to be working. This app is much nicer than the stock samsung email client in virtually every way. It is much more polished and easier to use. It would be nice if it didn't clear settings when updating over itself, but that is not a big deal.
It's a bit confusing in this thread, but I take it that this apk also lacks Move To Folder? That's a seriously useful feature and it might drive me back to stock on my Incredible just to get it back. Then, of course, I lost the ability to create private appointments in the calendar! Whee. Have you found a version yet that has this feature?

[MOD] Some System-Apks which should be optimised. First one Email.apk!

Well I hate the fact that the new Email-Apk let you just sync back 1 month. So I modded it to 100 days. Maybe I could improve it even more but first I want to mod some other Apps (especially System-Apps) which annoy me.
Feel free to post your wishes and I'll look what I can do for you (and me of course )
I have a list of things that annoy me and I'll try to change them.
Email.apk: Sync (at least 3 months)
Browser.apk: at least the useragent feature
Camera.apk: Mute the sounds. (I think someone already did that). Some other options like no ISO or so.
FmRadio: To listen to the radio without a headphone (I know the headphones are the antenna but maybe it goes anyway if you're outside and have a good reception.
MusicPlayer: hmmm
SamsungWidget_News: Other languages
TouchWiz30Launcher: .....
Note: You need ROOT to install Systemapps (well not install but copy them into /system/app or push it with adb)
I have the problem, that the vibration notification is very short. When I have it in my pocket I don't realize that a mail is coming. The gmail app has a much longer vibration notification. Is this possible to change?
Thanks!!!
Do you think it's possible to mod the stock Samsung email.apk to use a client certificate (personal certificate in .pfx or .p12 -format)?
I need this for my work email but I like the stock Samsung email client, so I rather not install any third party client.
Also disabling Exchange policy enforcement would be nice.

I tried a few keyboards and found this problem. I saw on one of the vendors forums that he was looking into this. He found that Samsung used something non standard which caused the issue. I recall a beta from the vendor showing progress as the dictionary worked, but things like auto full stop still didn't. Sorry, can't recall the products name right now that showed the progress on the problem.
Smart keyboard pro is the keyboard your talking about. Its got prediction but not the other items as u said. Major annoyance.

Request items for email.apk if possible, I'm sure there are many folks out there that would love the enhancement.
1 include bypassed exchange policy.
2 mod to allow multiple select and deletion upon search items.
Not sure if these are possible, as I haven't seen too many enhancement base off stock apps.

AppZorter

If you like apps to be in alphabetical order in touchwiz, download 'appzorter' from the market. Really good app! Now all my icons are sorted nicely
Free.
Oh thank you ^^
Indeed a nice utility.
But does anyone know how to rename a folder in the Applications section of TouchWiz ?
I like that the sorter can place folders first, but when I create folders they are named Folder 1, Folder 2 ,etc. Cannot seem to find how to rename them.

Good question! It seems to sort every app in one batch. So downloaded and phone apps will be jumbled up. Unless you make a folder with all your downloaded apps and sort them that way. The app will also sort apps in folders.
Thanks! Oddly, it doesn't behave that way for me. The Samsung/Galaxy apps are sorted as one batch and the downloaded ones as another. I did clear the TWLauncher data before sorting. Maybe I'm missing something?

I'm currently trying to fix that behavior. Samsung has added "default_sort" for preinstalled apps in 2.3.4, that causes wrong sorting in some cases (gaps on each page, wrong order, etc). I'll try to fix that issue in the upcoming update.
Do you know how to sort alphabetical order only apps which are in folders?
Start AppZorter and press the menu button
I did. I choose only "Folder contents-Sort folder contests" but it also re-order other apps too (which aren't in folders). Here are screnshots of page 1&2. I only want to sort page 2 (folders page).

ICS AOSP Email Client

Does anyone have an ICS AOSP e-mail client apk that can be installed on Calk's FC06 rom? Thanks in advance.
Just in case anyone is wondering, I was able to pull the apks (email and exchange) out of CM9 and replace those in the system/app folder, change the permissions to match what they were previously, clear data/cache of the email and exchange apps, and voila, ICS email.

I made a backup first, just in case.
Then I used Root Explorer to replace the e-mail and exchange apks (delete the old ones, you have a backup anyway) in system/app.
Long press on the new versions, change permissions to have all three sections (owner, group, others) checked for read, only owner for write, and none for execute or special permissions. Should look like this:
x x o
x o o
x o o
o o o
Then, settings menu, applications, go into e-mail and exchange and clear data and cache.
Restart and enjoy aosp e-mail.
All worked for me, minus FC18, and it just doesnt send emails, i can sync my calender and all my emails, just not send.
Alright...so I'm extremely new to this. I'm confused. The link provides a .zip file. Where is the .apk? I'm not sure exactly what I have to do.
Thanks oddlou, its working beautifully.

[Q] Action Memos Note 3 to Note 4

Ended up getting blocked out of my Action Memos by Samsung on my Note 4. I have all the notes, just can't get them to show up on my Note 4. Here's where the help part begins.
1. Need someone who uses AM and doesn't export to S Note or through Evernote to look and tell me where the Action Memos normally live on the Note 4 - where on the internal SD. You can even just do a test note, then open the memo app, not S Note. Then confirm location on internal SD. Need the path/name.
2. If this can't be resolved any other way, my thinking is that if I do a factory reset I'd have to setup my Sammy account again and the Memos will show that way. Thoughts? It's buggered because of an Evernote prompt.
Any ideas or help always appreciated. Still working on it here. If I find a fix other than FR I'll post it.

Ended up getting blocked out of my Action Memos by Samsung on my Note 4. I have all the notes, just can't get them to show up on my Note 4. Here's where the help part begins.
1. Need someone who uses AM and doesn't export to S Note or through Evernote to look and tell me where the Action Memos normally live on the Note 4 - where on the internal SD. You can even just do a test note, then open the memo app, not S Note. Then confirm location on internal SD. Need the path/name.
2. If this can't be resolved any other way, my thinking is that if I do a factory reset I'd have to setup my Sammy account again and the Memos will show that way. Thoughts? It's buggered because of an Evernote prompt.
Any ideas or help always appreciated. Still working on it here. If I find a fix other than FR I'll post it.

I didnt choose export to Snote when saving and when i set up the account, i didnt choose evernote, i chose samsung, not evernote(the only two options) and it still saves them to MainStorage/SNoteData/ActionMemo
And to get them to show up i still had to long press the home screen for widgets, scroll down to SNote and choose the second one with the previous saved notes. Id just move the notes from their location to Internal/SNoteData/ActionMemo and theyll be accessible via the SNote widget.

I tried using the MyFiles instead of my File Explorer, and If youre on Internal, theyll show up the Documents section and its the same one thats in the ActionMemo folder and i was able to view it without needing the SNote widget.
You might have to go that route to manually put them in the ActionMemo folder and use the MyFiles default explorer, open up documents and the memos will open on your home screen. Hope that helps.

Thanks. Here's what I know and what I've done.
1. I put them in the S Note folder for Actionmemo but they still won't show.
2. I put them in the Actionmemo folder on the main and same as above **Are you saying it should be ActionMemo and not Actionmemo?
3. What I'm trying to accomplish is have them open through the Action Memo app so that technically they are still editable, but they aren't showing either place.
4. Tried to setup the widget and can't. I'm using Apex Launcher. **What launcher do you use?
5. I can see the jpgs on dropbox, internal SD and anywhere else I have them, just can't "use" them with S pen.
6. The fix for the update worked great until I hooked up to Smart Switch to get the Action Memos onto my Note 4. It saw I was without the update and tried to slam me. Won't be doing that again. Nag is still gone on phone. I think it tried to slam me with 5.1.1 because the 5.0 nag was gone. Learning experience.
Off topic - downloaded the modem file tonight. Thanks.

When you look at the files in MyFiles, are the extensions .spd?

Always have and always will use Holo Launcher. It works the best for me and my preferred 387 dpi settings with 0.5 animation scale.
It allows all permissions when using any widget and works well with shortcuts too(which i never use)
If you saw a 0/100 at the end of the download progress on the far right, that was just samsung app updating, not the android system. lol
Ive never used action memo, and when i clicked save(didnt click export to Snote at the bottom right), it still saves them to InternalStorage/SnoteData/ActionMemo(Done with a 3rd party File Explorer, which you need if you dont already have one). Youll see the files there but you cant open them within the FileExplorer you donwloaded to see path locations and later use root priveleges when you decide to root.
After moving your old notes to InternalStorage/SnoteData/ActionMemo... Then go to the default File Explorer(MyFiles) Go to Documents, and youll see all your notes/memos and be able to open them up and have them appear on the home screen as if you just got done making them and were about to save them for the first time.

Yes, and theyre able to be opened as well, no SNote involved.

Because of what Sammy did to me with the Evernote thing, when I go to File Explorer(MyFiles), Go to Documents, I see everything spd, but it's only the files I manually sent to SNote from Action Memo. I have over 130 memos and no way I want to manually export those puppies. But the extension is spd. That was a big help. Thanks.
I wonder if it's possible to take a backup of the files - already done - and then change the jpg to spd (via a batch file or something like that)? Then they would all show properly. They're in the right place, but Sammy locked me out of them in favor of Evernote. I don't use Evernote because they're not editable.

So using the info you gave me about MyFiles on Note 4, I did a search for spd and found all of the files, not jpgs but qspd, on my Note 3. I'm going to try exporting those tomorrow and see if I can lick this situation short term.
Thanks once again, my friend. :good: Off to let my brain mull this one over.

de nada, mi amigo. If that doesnt work, you can always try putting your SPen in Backwards and see if that gives you backwards compatibility to the note 3 files. LMAO.

Holy #%$& it worked! I did a batch rename on my laptop from cmd promt. Uploaded the files to my N4 and they still didn't show (could be too impatient). Renamed file title to format of early test notes only on N4 and refreshed. It showed up in Action memo! I'm going to give it a wait to see if the rest show up, or in fact have to be renamed to "Action memo" instead of "_QuickMemo".
:victory::victory::victory::victory:
Once again persistence and determination pays off.

You do need to change name from "Action memo" instead of "_QuickMemo", that along with the extension rename from "qspd" to "spd" are key. They will load without the first change, but still won't show. And don't forget to include the jpg for each file when you put them in Primary/SnoteData/Action memo.
This will make it possible to copy my notes from my Note 10.1 now. :good:
