HaxSync - 4.x is the new update. The version is 2.3.5 and should now work with JellyBean.

Haxsync ... I Beta'd the new version before release when i contacted the developer...
It also supports Higher Resolution photos so they look as good as G+ synced photos

+1 I can confirm that HaxSync is working w/ JB

The app facebook contact sync works.

Haxsync works but must reboot after install. (At least this is how I got it to work.)

HaxSync is also working for me, after a reboot. It's a great solution I think!
Have you guys installed the jelly bean workaround too?

How strange I wonder how that's possible.

I use the 3rd party application FriendCaster and it works well for contact sync.

Email Apps

What email apps are Nexus 7 owners using?
I cannot figure out how to get Nexus to auto-complete email addresses in the stock email app for either gmail or a non-gmail account. is this justmissing or do I need to turn something on?
Any alternatives?

I use mail droid. It has a free and a paid option. Best ive tried so far.

AquaMail Pro. I must have tried them all, but this one is the nicest in my opinion!

Do any of these do IMAP search on server?

I use Gmail, it auto-completes anything I have in contacts. I use to hate gmail on a mobile device, but I like it on the N7 better than K9, which I was using.

I use K9 on my Nexus 7, not perfect by any means, but, far better than the stock email client. I had problems with attachments using the stock email client.
With K9, I can open, save, view attachments etc., which is what I wanted.
Still searching for a better one ...............

Gmail has everything I need.

Yeah, I'm thinking of adding K9, it actually attaches and opens zip files as well as anything else you want to throw at it. Gmail sucks with attachments.

I've been using K9 for the last...three?... years now and I just love it... in my opinion the best one out there. I'm managing six IMAP accounts with it and it works just flawlessly... fast, reliable, I love it... :good:

Just tried k9 on my n7 and works great. Much more configurable than gmail. Just needs an on screen send button and it'd be perfect.
Edit: Found great app for a home screen shortcut to compose new mail, works with k9 or gmail.

AW: Email Apps
I recently tried Aquamail and it was not bad... I still like K9 better, but Aquamail is rather great too...

I have not found an email app I like better than maildroid. I highly recommend it.

Voice Announce?
Does anyone know of an email client or add-on that would speak at least the subject of the arriving imap mail?

I liked maildroid but kept crashing when using reply to all. Really wish there was a powerful outlook like application that supported exchange and hotmail/gmail etc.

I use stock gmail for my gmail and nitrodesk touchdown for exchange. I don't have a problem running 2 different apps for 2 different accounts.

Enhanced e-mail is an app that is close to the standard email app in Android 4.2.1. It has more options.
I use it because this app has an option to synchronize the trash.
Emptying the thrash by selecting messages one by one is no longer needed.

Android Contact Connections

Dear Galaxy Nexus users,
I was looking in my Contact app for a option to Add a Connection like Twitter or Facebook.
It's been a while that the connections would sync automatically, is this option broken or what?
See attachment for example.

Have you used HaxSync yet...?
This one is pretty good in syncing your contacts with your facebook friends.

Instagram takes too much.

I, personally, use instagram as a way to post a photo across social media networks ie Facebook and twitter. Instagrams new terns of service give them the right to basically sell everything about me, including photos, to their partners without my consent. I don't like this and I was wondering if anyone knew of an app that lets me post a photo to multiple platforms at once?
I never cared about the filters, so that doesn't matter to me. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you give up that right as soon as you use twitter or the 'book , I doubt it'll matter if instagram does as well

While I see your point, I don't think Facebook or twitter go this far. I know they both use info, but these new terms specifically say they can and will use your likeness and photos if they want.
Flickr seems to be the thing to use. If anyone has any other suggestions, I am open to them.
Edit: the Flickr app is horrendous

Is there any way to install HTC Mail app on Nexus ?

So, is there any way we can install the HTC mail app on our Galaxy Nexus ? I love that mail client and i would use it on my nexus also. :laugh:

I guess it requires htc sense framework, so most probably no.

If this is not possible, what is the best mail client ? The default one is horrible

K9 was a really popular one last time I needed an alternative to stock

Mail clients on Android are pretty terrible. You've either got the choice of equally bad open source clients like K-9, or ad-ridden clients like Aqua Mail or Maildroid that require a payment to get the pro version.
I stick to the default mail client because it works fine for me despite being kinda crappy.

Everything is crap. Only the HTC one was ok for me... Isnt there any way to port it ?

if you port the framework for sense, yes. otherwise i would guess no

What's wrong with the nexus default? I use both accounts and constantly get mail almost every minute on of them. Gmail is the one pissed about, its slow and unreliable most times.

The HTC one has some excellent features which you just don't get on the defaut client, like the ability to see all emails from all folders and all accounts in one pot.. That would be the main selling point for me!, is there a paid for client that can do that?

I have been using Touchdown to access my official mails (exchange server). Feature wise I think this is the best mail client on android but UI can be better.

Thanks Zepius but this doesn't let you view all emails from all selected folders, it only combines the inboxes from two or more accounts.
