1st post - please be gentle. I have tried pretty much all of the roms for the Defy, but despite exhaustive searching cannot find find an answer: do any of the roms have an email app that you can search? I dont want to/can't use K9 or other market apps, but happy to install other email APK (is that right?). Currently on MokeeOS (and loving it) but not being able to search emails (exchange) is hurting.
Thanks in advance
PS, i tried searching both XDA and Google, and the lack of request for this functionalty surprised me - is it just me?
Guess its just me then

Thanks for reply 3. Nope, same on cm7 which I'm now running. Interestingly I tried cm9 and it has searchable email, but no camera support for my defy. So no win?

Sweet, will try it. Thanks guys

Is anyone else having sync issues with Facebook? I downloaded the application and I was able to login successfully, but it still isn't showing up under accounts or in my contacts. I have checked the contacts settings to make sure it was set to display Facebook contacts, but the option was not there. I uninstalled Facebook and then reinstalled and added the account using the android accounts menu but after entering my information it still failed to show up. If anyone has figured out a solution, or has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. I will keep trying on my end and post here if I figure it out. Thanks!

Do you still have the stock facebook apps installed, in particular the htcfacebook.apk

Facebook contacts sync is a bug related to ics in general. It won't sync on the galaxy nexus either.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I see you said "ics-deck alpha2"
Searching in the Development forum for "ics-deck" the only one I see is alpha1... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380505
Was that a typo or am I missing something?

Interesting. Looking at his twitter, it seems that there's even an alpha3.
It seems strange that he would update his post (last updated on 12-25) and not include the most up-to-date version of the ROM, since that's the point of the post. It makes me wonder if the what works, what doesn't work, what's new, etc. that he lists corresponds to alpha1 or alpha3.
But, I digress. Thanks for answering my question

No problem. There was an alpha 3? All I saw was a pre-alpha 3.

I liked the stock email app on the galaxy S2, I figured that once I got my s3 that email would be similar, but it's not, it is much much worse. Is there any way to install the old mail app from the S2 on the S3?
I have tried the alternative email programs from the play store and I just don't like them.
Please help!
Thanks a million.
Enhanced Email...
I may not be correct, but.... I believe the GS2 used an email program built by Seven.
You may look and find an apk for Seven email+IM that should be similar. I personally cannot find a download link for it.
If you go their website, they do have a BETA Android program. http://community.seven.com/download.php Again, not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but may be worth a shot.
Edit: It appears they abandoned Android in the last year or something and the only client they currently are shown as making is the one for Hotmail's Android client. Sorry.
Gmail
Its just fine...

Another recommendation...
K-9 Mail is IMO a good email client. I don't know if it's one of the alternatives you tried and didn't like.
It's larger that Enhanced Email, but cheaper... (free)...
I'm new or I'd post a link to the Play store.
(I have no affiliation with K-9 Mail whatsoever.)

I'm going to try and push the SGS2 email.apk and exchange.apk later this evening. Please feel free to try it first if you have access.
I have been using Secure9 Mail for 6 months. And it has built-in encryption (if you want to use it).

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've tried all the free email apps on the play store and none of them really did it for me. Finally tried enhanced email too and that is a step in the right direction, hopefully I don't have any troubles from it.
p.s. I have the Gmail app, but I need to access my work email somehow.
Try touchdown by nitrodesk. It's one of the best

Only one I found I liked was Inomail,
What about the AOSP Google email? I think it looks great and works very well.
yea if you need to check an exchange acct at work I usually go between nitrodesk touchdown and moxier mail. One of those should be perfect for you I prefer touchdown really.
What is it about the stock SGS3 email app that you don't like?

do you have the apks for AOSP?
the rom NoAOSP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759245
uses the email client from google nexus; a user there said it was the only email client they've used on the S3 that allowed them to connect to their work email.
perhaps download that rom, open the zip with 7zip and pull out the email.apk and put it on your phone.
try to install it normally, if not you may have to copy it to system/app with root explorer (reboot afterwards)
might be worth a look

In the SGS2 email you could make it inverted and control font size from the app.
I pushed the old app every way i could. No joy. May try a flashable zip, but I can't see that making much difference... I guess it would have to be ported.
Hey devs,
Currently running Aristodemos 3.0 with wifi sharing fix, and the final zip that was done.
Currently the stock email application is giving me some trouble. I'm still able to receive messages and open the application to view messages but I am unable to reply and compose messages.
I was able to get a log cat but haven't been able to find out what's causing the problem. Any help would be appreciated. If anyone needs the logcat I can send it to them by pm. Thanks everyone for your hard work

Just an update,
Trying out divide and so far no problems. Will keep an eye on it and let you guys know if it's a viable option until a fix is available.

Agreed, it is unfortunate that there is something wrong with email. I'm not sure what could be causing the problem? I used divide which is a launcher switcher and the email apk that comes with it is working fine. I'm going to try different launchers to see if I can narrow down the problem to just being the lancher

Didn't think about launcher being an issue, will try the same.
So after some more searching it turns out it may be a problem with both the email apk and the exchange services apk (?). If you look in the ADIII thread someone just uninstalled those two apks and then installed them again and it started working again. Let me knows if you have any questions.

Thanks, I did see that and tried it with no luck. Perhaps I didn't do it right so I will look further into it.
Hi there, Facebook syncing is a feature that I miss from a custom ICS rom I used to have. I read somewhere that there might be JB Roms that support this feature but I haven't been able to find one, so before I give up I want ask you directly.
Now before you answer make sure to read this, what I am truly looking for are the numbers and not anything else, so please don't redirect me to HaxSync or FriendCaster because I don't care about high-res pictures or calendar events. If there is a third party app that can sync numbers i'll happily take it. If there really is no way to workaround this issue then, oh well. Thanks for your time guys.
Maybe Haxsync will work

There is a workaround to just copy & replace ur contactproviders.apk
I have used it on a jb rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35867380
It enables u to sync contacts with pics. No calendar though
Make sure to backup orig file. Replace. Set permissions. Reboot. Clear fb, contacts cache. Reboot. U do have to manually join.
But for now m happy w/o getting any extra app can sync

Hey folks,
I am real new to this awesome and vast world of custom roms, loving it, finding the testing and discovery of all the awesome roms lots of fun, albeit time consuming
I am enjoying the Non-Sensed experience a lot. There is one feature that I miss however and that is the Linked Contacts. I tried to install the HTCContacts APK in hope that I would regain the functionality but this didn't work. Is there something I can do, aside from going back to a Sense ROM?
Forgive the noobness.
Thanks so much.
You can't use any stock apps without a Sense ROM.
I use haxsync from the play store to sync my facebook contacts.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
you could try go contacts or haxsync
If you want free alternatives to HaxSync, try these. HaxSync works best though.

Just a few things HTC actually did right that I miss. :/
Thanks again.
