I searched, and didn't find anything. Is there a dark gmail for the galaxy nexus?

Thanks a lot! I had a dark Gmail app in GB for a while, but it stopped working.
I don't know why Google doesn't make a dark Gmail - it looks better, and is easier on the eyes

Google should do this officially. It would be akin to adding the day/night mode from Google books.

As I understand it you'll need root access to delete the old gmail apk and move the new one to system, so yes.
You don't need CWM or a rom though, just root access on a stock rom and recovey will be fine.

Well I had to take it off, somehow it seems my google music stopped working after installing this. I made a nandroid backup beforehand and as soon as I rolled back my music worked again. Strange. Really seems weird that would cause any issue at all... Maybe it somehow messed up the account syncing since it would only crash the music when I tried to stream music, local content was fine.

Awesome, trying this now. Been hoping for this. The all white makes my eyes water in the morning because it is so bright...
The date on each email looks a little funny because its color is off, and at times goes outside the border. Also the read vs unread black/grey are very similar. It works though. I'll probably live with it.

I've been using this dark gmail app for days and like it. But just today i realized i went to compose a message and there is no way to send the final email. Am i missing something? Doesnt matter whether its a new email, or a reply to an existing email message, i cant send anything!
Am i being stupid or can someone test or confirm this? Thanks.

Been using these for a few weeks on gummy and CNA. Working great and they look good too.

Ok after more digging, this dark gmail is acting weird for me. It is the new ice cream version for everything including inbox etx. But when i compose a new email or reply to existing one, the compose window goes back to the gingerbread one, AND it has no send button. And no action bar etc. But if i go back to the inbox its fine there. I just cant compose.
Only change ive done is 2 days ago flashed the transparent status bar system ui apk. Im on stock 4.0.1. Anyone know what the heck could be going on here?

i just installed the gmail app from that link, and it is the old version just like it said. not the new ICS version. dammit i just want black gmail!

this might help other people. the link in the beginning of the thread had a broken gmail apk, the send button was missing with other stuff. it was all fixed and can be had over at this thread from the nexus s forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412997
that thread actually links back to the one at beginning of this thread, but dont know yet if they updated to the fixed send button version. anyway this has been driving me nuts and glad i finally found the solution.
regarding the other link to the (http://www.rujelus22.com/evo/downloads.php) i tried the google + from that and it also did not work, and broke my system UI. so i dont know if it needs to be for 4.0.3 or what, but i'm on 4.0.1 and it doesnt mention any info about that. hope this saves others some time!

[Request] Stock Samsung apps for CM10

Hey guys, just quick request on my part. I was wondering if anyone could upload the stock Samsung apps (specifically s voice and memo) for cm10. The only link I found to them anywhere was a drop box that had been removed or deleted at some point.
Thanks much
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

The stock Samsung apps require the TouchWiz framework and will not work on CM10.

In the other thread I found it seemed to be working for the other guys. But isn't Google now supposed to work in essentially the same way? Although googles servers are on the fritz right now
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Do you mind linking me to the thread? I know most stock features like Smart Stay and the wave hand over phone won't work on CM10 and when I originally did my research before flashing CM9 I was told very specifically that most of the stock Samsung apps were built into the TW framework.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I vaguely remember that thread. I think there were so many bugs and things going on people just gave up trying to force it to work. If you're just interested in S-Voice and Memo try searching the Play Store. You won't get the exact apps, but I'm sure there's similar apps that have the same features. And now that Google Now is working on CM10, I really don't see too much of a point in S-Voice.

HERETry this one.

Sending things via NFC to other S3s??

So a friend and I both have this phone. Both rooted. He added a JB rom and I am on the stock Touchwiz rom. We have been trying to send stuff and only thing that goes is a contact. If I open Quickpic and select a photo to send to him, it takes him to the Play Store where it wants him to install Quickpic. If I try to send a song it appears to be uploading on my phone and does nothing on his. He tries to send a photo or .mp3 to me and he gets an error that my device does not support large file transfer via NFC or something.
I did a search on Google and saw where it says photos and songs are able to be sent until JB. If that's the case, how is Samsung advertising this feature and it doesn't work on what's currently available.
If I am doing something wrong...please advise.

Probably because the Samsung software isn't on the JB rom your friend installed (sbeam).

Nah. The s3 only wants to send files with Sbeam. Don't ask me why I'm not an expert, maybe someone has a work around but I wasn't about to send files between my S3 and nexus via nfc

Group Cast

Why is the group cast feature missing from the AllShare play app on the ATT version galaxy note 2?
is there anyway to install an updated version of AllShare Play that includes this feature?

Is this feature something that no 1 else uses?
I just thought it strange that my galaxy note 10.1 running an older ICS ROM has this feature built into the AllShare play and yet my new Galaxy Note 2 running JB does not include this feature. Would love to be able to use this from my phone.

I find it hard to believe no 1 else is bothered by the fact that our galaxy note II does not include the group cast function in the AllShare app. Both the S 3 and galaxy note 10.1 has this feature built into the app.
I even fash the new nternational ROM onto my note II just to see if it would have the Group Cast function but it is still not there.
Is there any chance that this app could be replaced by the S 3 or note 10.1 one?

I noticed Group Cast on my wifes SIII but the only thing I see on the Note II is all share cast. I guess these two features are different, right.

Yes, Group Cast is a feature in AllShare Play that will allow your phone screen to display on another phone or device able to join a Group Cast..everyone can share what is on the screen. I have that feature on my Note 10.1 and, as you said, its on the S III but for some reason its not part of the function on the Note 2 app - I have no idea why they would have left it off.
I realize not many people use it, but in my family we all have Note 2 phones (and a few 10.1 tablets) and would love to use this feature with them all.
I posted on the S III forums asking if i were to side load the AllShare APK from the S III onto my Note 2 via TWRP would it work ? My hope is I can do that and overwrite the old AllShare APK on my Note 2 with the S III one that has that function built in. I do not think there is any hardware limitation on the Note 2 that would prevent it from working...
Anyone else know?

When i install the allshare play apk ripped from my GS3, i have a group cast option. However, for some reason it goes away as if the system is fixing itself. Need to check with other gn2 owners on other carriers to see if they have it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

Also, the share option isn't in the menu after you open the file, you have to open it from the menu before you open the file. I am using Astro file manager.
Press and hold file you want to share. Then press menu
Press share
Select Group Cast
Enter pin code
So I can get it working, but not sure what causes the app to return to its stock state.

GroupCast Missing THEORY
My wife and I own Verizon S3s and we have been using Groupcast since we got the phones. We noticed last night when launching Allshare it wanted to be updated and after that no more GroupCast. I have a theory about what happened as far as it pertains to our Verizon S3s. You can extrapolate from this to figure out what happened to your AT&T Note devices.
1.) Samsung released Jelly Bean 4.1.1 which used the old Allshare which had Groupcast inside it.
2.) Samsung released Jellybean 4.1.2 with Premium Suite. They decided to remove Groupcast from Allshare because it was confusing too many people to have an app within an app. So they made Groupcast its own app. (If you read any of the stories online about the Premium Suite you will notice one of the new features is a GroupCast app.) See the story below as an example of a mention of Groupcast app coming in 4.1.2:
Well, I had a link to the page here but since I haven't posted 10 times this site is making me remove it. Lets just say it was at the Sammobile website under a story about the korean galaxy sIII getting 4.1.2
3.) They released the Updated Allshare app (which doesn't have GroupCast in it) to the Google Play Store.
4.) You have either Ice Cream 4.0.0 or Jellybean 4.1.1 on your Verizon S3 phone since 4.1.2 is not yet available and won't be for probably 6 months.
5.) You launch the old Allshare app on your phone. The Allshare app checks for updates upon launch and sees the 4.1.2 version of Allshare is available in the Google Play store even though it is not compatible with your phone. You are asked if you want to update and of course you say yes because you don't realize you are accidentally deleting GroupCast. You are brought to the Google Play store to the Allshare app page and told Groupcast features will be removed from the app and Groupcast will be added as its own app. You go through with the update.
6.) Allshare is updated to remove Groupcast features. Share to Groupcast is removed from Gallery menu, etc.
7.) Groupcast app is NOT added to your phone because you don't have Android 4.1.2 with Premium Suite. After you update Allshare you will notice that something downloads in the notification tray and you get a second message that Allshare is again updated. I wonder if that second download is the GroupCast app that tries to install but doesn't show up in the app tray.
So you just lost Groupcast because you let Samsung update your phone! :crying:
Fortunately you can uninstall the update from the manage apps section and all the groupcast stuff gets put back to the way it was and it works again. :laugh:
I talked with a Samsung rep about this last night for 30 minutes and of course they had no idea what I was talking about and didn't even seem to comprehend my story. It was recommended that I clear the data and cache from Allshare, reboot the phone. I tried that but it didn't add Groupcast features anywhere I can detect. They then recommended that I do a hard reset on my phone. Well, today I got the Jelly Bean update and to me that should be akin to a hard reset. I re-ran the update to Allshare with the same results; still no Groupcast. :crying:
Unfortunately everytime you launch Allshare you will be prompted to update the app and you'll need to say 'No' if you want to keep Groupcast. :crying:
Looks like Samsung messed up somehow; at least that's my theory. I hope this helps people to get a better understanding of what happened and perhaps Samsung will realize that they should not have allowed people to update Allshare until 4.1.2 is available and we are allowed to download the Groupcast stand alone app. Maybe they will realize their mistake and send us a message with a link so we can download it before the 4.1.2 update is available.
Anyway, if anyone has a better idea or better facts than me let me know.

At a tmobile store and happened upon their Galaxy note 2 and noticed that their model has group cast installed and running. Maybe someone with access to one can identify necessary files so that it can be ported from their rom.

How to share HD videos from GS3? Too big for email/mms?

Simple question, how are you sharing videos from your GS3? I can't email them as they are to big, can't mms them. So now what?
We made a small 11 second video, albeit 1080p - and it is about 25mb. Gmail limit is 10mb.
I'm guessing upload to a sharing service and share the link? Which I've never done. Can anyone help?
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999 Tapatalk 2

I upload them all to YouTube but make them private and viewable only if given the link (so weirdos aren't watching videos of my niece or cousins and such) this allows them to be uploaded at full HD and a general site that most can access without issue.

I assume you are referring to S Beam. Having never used it yet, how long do you have to hold them together ? I mean, a playlist, couple of pictures, I'm sure that's a pretty quick transfer. But say a good size movie, around 100mb or so? Do they have to remain in close proximity or do they link somehow after that initial contact? Having never used it as I said, I'm just curious. Would love to hear from people who have.

I think the NFC just turns on Bluetooth for both devices and connects then sends. No need to hold them together.

Using S beam and a WiFi connection should take you no more than 2 minutes to transfer 200mb.
1) connect your devices to you WiFi.
2) turn on S beam on both.
3) locate the file to transfer.
4) bump the phones and wait for the beep.
5) tap the file and place the phones side by side as they don't need to be touching back.
6) bring the notification bar down and see how the file gets transfer.
I always use this method to transfer HD videos and lots of photos to my girls Note2. I think using WiFi makes the transfer faster than w/o.
This guy is transferring 200+ me video.
