I got myself into a situation I can't undo.
I wanted to try out the AOSP Email app because I'm tired of the stock app that comes with my Telcel-branded SIII.
I followed instructions;
Fully rooted 4.0.4
Delete Email.apk
Delete Exchange.apk
Copied AOSP files to systen/app
Change permissions to rw - r - r to email.apk
Reboot.
So far; the exchange accounts I had exploded. The phone freezes every few seconds and I get a pop up that tells me that either Exchange or Email has stopped working.
Tried to roll back. I can't. I had backed up both apks, but putting them back still freeze the phone every few seconds.
Decided the easiest solution would be to wipe to factory settings.
Even with factory settings the email + exchange don't work. Adding a corporate account force closes the email app.
At least the phone isn't freezing every 2 seconds.
So now I have a phone that has no email functions. I can add k9 mail or other apps, but I really want the AOSP Email app working.
After full factory wipe, I tried again.
I've deleted both files.
I've installed Exchange.apk
I've installed Email.apk
In both cases the dialog window says they were correctly installed, but an email icon will not appear in my app drawer.
With ES File Manager, I can see that even if OS thinks the apps were properly installed, neither apk appear in the system/app directory.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I wanted to give as much detail as possible.
What can I do? Do I need to flash stock ROM and give up? Has someone been in a similar situation?
Thanks!

Thanks to shiftr182 for sharing the flashable file. I followed his instruction and was able to get AOSP email back on my TW rom.
** I'm only distributing the work that has been done by others **
1. Use a file manager and delete SecEmail.apk and SecExchange.apk from your system [System >> App]
(I use Titanium Backup and made a copy of those two files)
2. Flash the attachment. (I made a nandroid backup just in case)
3. After you reboot, go to you apk manager and clear the data on email and exchange then add your account(s).
Been looking for this apk. Muchas gracias!
Proper job, innum bey.

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I had got the email to work using another method from another thread (install app in system>app with root explorer, I also found another way to do it on another thread that I found before I found this one .... after all was done my email unread number said 22 all the time and never changed. I tried everything and nothing fix it.
Found another thread, started fresh, (renamed original email/exchange apts with .bak instead of deleting it) same problem here.... unread count but this time is says 19. Mind you it shows 19 unread emails on the email app icon in the app drawer and when I drag it to the home screen and I did not even set up my emails yet so it would have no way of knowing how many unread emails I have. very odd.
Finally started fresh and flash the zip from this thread which worked now it says 33 unread emails all the time. Can't figure out why this unread email count shows up even without any unread emails.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks.
Works Great on 4.4.3
Awesome! I've been unable to get corporate email to sync since I got off of a stock ICS ROM. I was still having problems with the latest 4.4.3 ROMs. This solved it. Thanks!
hey guys, so a month or so ago I flashed a new rom. I think I messed up with the restore though because I remember that Titanium Backup asked if I wanted to update my android ID.
I did.
Everything that i use everyday works fine - EXCEPT - two things that I have noticed.
chrome to phone doesnt work (instant unable to connect error)
And pushing apps from the app store on the web doesnt work (although the playstore on my phone works fine)
I also noticed in the settings of the play store (web based) that it is not showing my phone as being connected anymore.
To be more precise, the "last used" column just has " - - "
So I'm guessing I boned the android ID.
So I did a complete wipe and reinstalled the rom from scratch. Did not restore any apps from the market or from TiBu.
The phone will not show up on the webbased version of the store.
I added my secondary gmail account and it saw it! I was able to push. This is good, but I have purchased apps from the other account.
I wanted to test it out, so i factory reset and added my secondary gmail account as my main.
Now THAT wont push! I have no idea whats going on and how to correct this issue.
Dear All,
This is my desperate attempt after days of googled with a dead end.
Recently, out of nothing i have encountered a major error after years. It all of sudden. Bombarded with "google play service is stopped" then decide to reboot then never up again with "acore stopped working'' on the very first screen after samsung logo where you have unlock the screen.
I did wipe data/factory reset. All good. reinstalled all essentials. SuperSU and Rootchecker report im still rooted. Then noticed LINE app (by Naver) has a bizarre behavior. All image related operations is not working with message "Cant use SD card, please confirm SD card settings"
All other chat messengers all working flawlessly (BBM, Whatsapp, you name it) but this one. To be detailed, affected operations are downloading stickers, themes, chat image attachments, chat photos wont came out, trigger camera, attach/send photo..
Submit a ticket to Naver but returned with they have no support for rooted device.
Device detail:
N7100 4.4.2 (rooted)
SuperSU / Knox disabled
modified platform.xml (extsdcard write access)
Failed Attempts:
- format ext SD card from inside, issue still exist
- install / reinstall LINE app, issue still exist
any kind of idea/helps would greatly appreciated as most of my contacts and communication are mainly using this app. I hope you guys have knowledge to be shared for pinpoint the issue based on the error message above. I believe the solution can be a great value as there are currently none in the net.
Thanks
try to apply kitkat sdcard fix
click
I have the Xperia Z3 running on Lollipop.
Same issue, all apps such as whatsapp, fb, etc can access the SD card except for line.
The error message when trying to send a photo to someone in Line is "Can't use SD card. Please confirm SD card settings"
Reinstalled the app several times, unmounted and remounted the SD card, even moved the app to the SD card with the app itself still working fine. But still cannot send or receive photos or download stickers.
Also applied the suggested that sd card fix even though it wasn't really needed since all other apps can access the SD card just fine..anways it didn't help.
Any other ideas?
Oh yeah, even tried installing a Line version which was 6 months old - didn't help either.

I have the exact same issue after a full wipe and re-flashed custom ROM. The naver LINE app have the same issue as mentioned above. All other apps functions normal. Anyone found a solution to this yet?
HTC One M7
Vipeone sense-based ROM 9.0.0.
Hi. I've encountered a similar problem recently. The interesting thing is that my telephone does not have SD card at all. So my first thought was that the problem is in permissions or cache.
I checked the permissions - app had full access.
Then I cleared programm cache on my phone. both inner memory cache and telephone memory cache (at least that's what they are called in my native language)
After that I tried to upload the image, yet it gave another error. something like: "cannot perform the action now, try again later"
I was quite short on the inner memory on my phone (around 70 MBs free), and thought it can be the problem. I deleted the biggest app and was able to upload the screenshots again.
Probably worth mentioning: I did not reinstall the Line app.
My device:
Telephone called ImSmart C471. China at it's best. Assembled in Ukraine though, company called Impression.
Android 4.4.2
In the latest build, Line apk cant send photo from internal/sdcard..it said line cant use sdcard..?
i had the same problem when i moved to new phone ( Xiaomi Mi4 ). I solved that. Just find the application permission setting in application manager. Try to find permission to stroarge. Change the permission to allow. That's it. That worked for me.
where's the settings?

I can't find any setting for permission to storage from the application manager, is there any? did I overlooked?
Try updating the app in play store. I had the same issue but solved with the updated version.
I had the smale problem. I deleted some pictures and videos and then restarted the phone. Works like magic
Hi, a few weeks ago I tried to get a new app so went to my Google Play account and it wouldn't let me open it, kept asking me to log in. Anyway I eventually left it as it was driving me nuts but since then none of my apps will update and none of my Google accounts will backup, the most important one being my photos. I can't use Google to seach either. I can log in to my account on all other devices just not my phone. I also tried to connect my phone to my laptop to backup my photos as I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a hard reset but all my older photos were showing but not the newer ones that I have taken and you can view on my phone.
Can anyone help as this is driving me crazy.
Thanks
Remove the Google account from Accounts and add it again..?

I've tried this and it didn't help but thanks
What are you using to view your files? A file explorer or HTC Sync Manager? I would use the former.
If that doesn't show all your stuff, then I would use TWRP to backup everything or to copy files onto an external SD card and then plug that into the computer to copy everything before running an RUU and resetting everything, which is what I would do.
