Samsung IM app...

I recently had to flash my phone back to stock firmware and I lost the Samsung IM app... I have searched high and low to find it.
Does anyone know where it can be downloaded? I am sure it came with an update to Social Hub, but I dont even see that in the Samsung Apps Market.
Thanks!
PS: If someone maybe wanted to upload the apk for it, that would be pretty awesome.

BUMP! I am looking for this as well... And i dont think itll be as simple as the apk ccause its odexed on the phone itself...

go into Samsung Apps in your phone
then refresh, then it will show up
then install
then setup your accounts
then use IM
done

huh.. I don't have any such application on mine. These regional differences really are irritating.

here you go

just checked mine and its not there either, uk phone

Thank you! Downloading now...

Thank You kind sir! This was just what I was looking for...
I did not want the actual app from Seven which is all I could find. These are the actual Samsung Branded Apps!

Thank you so much !!!

Can we have then newest version of the Hub?
Thank you,

Hello...this one works verry well.A question though, is thete a newer version of this app that also includes Facebook functionality/connectivity?
Pray explain

never knew that samsung had a default messenger program installed on the galaxy s. I remove most of the samsung programs when i install a new firmware.
Too bad this messenger comes with Samsung mail. only wanted the messenger app

Disable translating IM function
Hello...
Please tell me if somehow it's possible to disable the translating function of IM?
I looked in settings/translate but only it can do is to change the translating languages. It's very helpfully for me to disable it.
Thank's a lot.

can I use that if I'm on MIUI???

[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.

post a couple of screenshots please: ) otherwise thanks!

Thanks works great

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.

Does the number of unread emails appear in the icon?

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?

Can Nexus ICS email client coexist with S3's?

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this forum.
I've been using a Galaxy Nexus for a while (unrooted).
Recently, switched to a verizon Galaxy S3. The phone is unrooted and I hope to keep it that way.
One complaint I have with the S3 is the font size of the email inbox listings.
I really love to use more of that screen real estate to display more text like the client on the Nexus.
I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760741 and few other threads here using
the Search function about alternatives and possible solutions.
I also found this very helpful thread by AndroidFan4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728308
But the instruction replaces the stock S3 email client and the phone needs to be rooted.
Is it possible for me to install the ICS Nexus email client like an app while keeping the original S3 email client?
Is it possible for me to do above while unrooted?
Any possible downside of doing above?
Thank you all... this is my first post and I hope I did it in the right place.

No it replaces it.
What exactly is it you want? I cant understand how you're describing the issue. Ans what exactly did you want to keep that the google version doesnt have?

Thanks for replying....
In short... I'm hoping to install/run the email client from Nexus/ICS as an installed app (is that possible?)
Maybe even running it off inside the /sdcard folder?
I'm just hoping that by doing that... I won't have to have my S3 rooted and I dont mind keeping the S3's native email client around.

When you try to install it it says its a system app and it will replace. I'm not sure what would happen if you're not rooted. But you could easily swap it if you were rooted.
What is it about rooting that puts you off?

It's a company phone... and technically not my property...
It will replace the system app? It will do that even if the names are different?
So if I renamed the Nexus email app to EmailNexus.apk or something..would it still replace the SecEmail.apk?

You can rename it what you want. The system does not take account of what the apk is actually called.
For example:
SecEmail.apk - Samsung modified email
Email.apk - Android standard email
Both are known to system as "Email 4.0".
Like on a windows computer, you can rename dropbox.exe to sponge.exe but when its installed, windows still knows its dropbox. If you had dropbox installed and tried to install sponge.exe, it would want to modify, repair or remove it as it is already installed.
Hope that helps you clarify.
There are 3rd party email clients in the play store. Maybe they would be worth checking out.

Exactly the answer I'm looking for.... that clarifies my question.
So either 3rd party, wait for update or just root + ICS Email.....
I'll think about it....
Thanks again rootSU!

[Q] 4.1.1 HTC One X Share Menu Missing Apps

Hi All,
I have upgraded my HTC One X to 4.1.1 (HTC pushed down update, stock ROM, not rooted) and since doing that the "share" option available in most apps is very light on with the apps that I can share links/videos/etc with.
The two I use the most aren't there - messages (sending SMS) and gmail.
When I first upgraded the only for options were AndSMB, AndFTP, Bluetooth, and Download Manager HD.
Since then I have factory reset the phone, including formatting the storage, I installed the bare minimum of apps I use everyday and tried it again. Whilst the situation has improved slightly, in Youtube when I share a video I now only get: Bluetooth, Drive, Dropbox and Facebook.
Does anyone know how I can add the system apps back to this list, such as gmail and messages?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Jason

$2 Fixed it!
Well after some more googling I found about an app called AndShare with fixed the problem. I didn't bother with the free version, I just went straight to the Pro and it worked an abosolute treat.
This is not spam - I just thought i'd update the thread for anyone else who discovers this same problem in future.

I have the exact same problem! I can't find the app you mentioned though, happen to have a market link for it? That'd be much appreciated!

I have the same issue. In my case it's just the Gmail app I an missing. It is out of the share menu in every app... Is there a solution yet? Where can one find this Andshare app? Thank you

Exchange Mail App alternative?

All,
The default LG G3 Mail app is kinda meh....I hate the fact it does not allow me to view 'ALL EMAILS' under one, instead I have to manually toggle through my sub folders. I came from HTC One M7 and their mail app was the best I've used.
Can anyone recommend me other alternative that is not Touchdown? I hate the old looking UI of Touchdown.
I'm trying Nine Mail App now...so far so good? Any others?
Thanks!

Cloudmagic. It's a great app - very useful and it integrates with other apps you might use, i.e. Evernote, Pocket, etc.

I like AquaMail, but agree Cloudmagic is good (just hated the UI on Cloudmagic myself - specifically that it felt like I was wasting my huge screen because the app elements were huge themselves).

Take a look at Nine. I use it and like it a lot for my work's exchange email account
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3&hl=en

Yes, I'm currently using Nine now and its good. I wanted to see what other options are there. CloudMagic looks great, but don't like the fact they store our info/emails in their cloud.

Nine,I like it much more than cloudmagic

If you can get the stock KitKat email app to work with Exchange it should be a great option. Much of the same interface and goodness as Gmail, threaded emails, etc, etc. My problem is that I have now tried two phones and at least 5 custom ROMs (on my HTC One X) and I have never been able to get the stock KitKat app to work with Exchange. I have tried CleanROM, Viper, Paranoid, Cyanogen, ASOP, as soon as the OS is 4.4 or newer Exchange simply does not work. Things work with the 4.3 Email.apk and Exchange2.apk but that does not have threading. Yes, I have tried all sorts of posted workarounds, Exchange2Google.apk from various sources, etc, no luck. There are numerous threads out there from people claiming to have this problem. Must be a Google screwup because the Samsung, HTC, and LG OEM apps have absolutely no issues with Exchange under KitKat.
If anyone knows of a workaround please PM me or just respond to this thread.

Just suggesting,
I've had a lot of headaches trying to make my exchange work on android.
Auto settings never worked for me, i had to manually type the server user password and such.
My problem was that i was not typing the domain before username.
Im pointing this out because LG email app has a domain field and stock email app doesnt.
So what I do is I fill domain\[email protected] in username field on stock email app, and i use pod51015.outlook.com on server field. And it works like that. Server might be different for you.

Yeah, I have seen numerous people suggest that as a workaround but it has never worked for me. Perhaps the email server is not correct, I need to go talk to the IT guys. The annoying part is that the phone vendor email app always successfully auto-configures. It seems that everyone except Google has figured out how to do this correctly.

Well, I finally figured out how to make the stock kitkat 4.4 email app work. You can first let something like the oem email all run, then go look at the settings a day then manually reproduce them in the kitkat app. In my case I needed to specify the server as webmail.company.com and select the "all certificates" option.
However, it appears that I was wrong in my claim that the stock kitkat email apk threads. That is not the case.
Nine actually looks quite good, and just when I was wondering how they can afford to give away such a sophisticated polished app I noticed that there is a silent 7 day trial, after which it is pay to play. Seems to be worth the $10.

1st impression of Nine is very good. Paid for the $10 license less than 10 min after installing it.

It does look very good and the support is incredibly responsive. There is a bit of mystery Engrish in the menu items and some of the settings and UI are far from logical but that is a small price to pay for the functionality.

Do any of these apps integrate exchange emails into appointments on your regular calendar automatically?
Also I'm looking for one that doesn't make me put a ridiculous password on my phone.

Nine allows for this. Exchange and appointments into regular calendar. You are given the choice of applying security at the app level instead of the device level. So you only have to enter PIN when opening the app...not when unlocking the device.
There is an app called Enhanced Email that allows you to bypass security completely.
