OnePlus 3 Default Email App - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hi. Is there a way that I can use an app from the Google Play store and set it as my default e-mail on the OnePlus 3? There are no settings to set a default e-mail app.I've tried to find a way but every thing I've tried, it seems that both the downloaded app and the 1+3 original app both receive emails at the same time. So I need a way to work around this if anyone could suggest anything. Thanks in advance.

quick question is this your first android device? I ask because there is no reason to have 2 emails running and also what email address are you using as your main is it gmail?

No it's not my first time having an android. All I've ever had were Android devices. I do not want two email apps is exactly what I'm saying. The Email App that comes with the 1+3 , if you go into App settings, it doesn't give the option to Clear Defaults. I want to download an alternative email app and use that as my main Email app as I dislike how the original Email app is setup. And yes Gmail is what I use.

Rooted? If so just delete the system app.

[Q] Is there a way to get Facebook Sync to work?

I really rely on Facebook contacts sync as it has pretty much all the numbers i need. I know there are apps like Friendcaster and Haxsync but those do not sync the numbers with the profiles. My GNex is running stock 4.1 right now and it is rooted I believe, since i rooted it myself last night (i think i did it right). Is there something that will allow me to Facebook Sync my contacts and still keep the standard OS without noticing anything changed. Or i guess in other words, how can i quickly enable it so that it can sync and then delete whatever i put to enable it to do that so that I am back at square one just this time with all my contacts I would backup and put on my computer. Using a standard GSM Gnex on the latest Jellybean update, I hope I was descriptive as possible. Also I am a noob so please don't go too crazy on me, I've never actually done any of this stuff but i just want my contacts so i can use the stock until im comfortable doing more of this
HaxSync from the play store. Even import birthdates to calendar.

Download Friendcaster from the app store, just run it side by side with the official FB app. I did that for my fiance, even though friendcaster is more robust.
She loves it now though because she can finally get realtime push notifications from facebook

I don't think you guys are understanding what I am saying lol, I understand these apps give you the contacts. This is what I want yes, but what they lack is adding the contacts WITH the phone NUMBERS. I want the the phone numbers. I am trying to get the phone numbers of with the contacts lol am i clear yet :crying:
Exactly. I want numbers too. I have like 5 people synced to my Google account. The rest are on Facebook. Friend caster only syncs them to my "people" app. If I go to the phone app the numbers aren't there. When I open the menu and select "choose contacts to display" I select friend caster and it says 0 contacts. Looking for contacts phone numbers not just names and HD photos...

Custom ROMs usually have Facebook sync working fine, you could also search how to modify a stock google image to allow facebook sync, if I'm not mistaken you'll need root and busybox, you will need to edit a text file and run a script that will update a database in your phone... Unfortunately I don't have this information handy, so, you'll need to search for it if you want to modify stock rom (remember, you need root), or, you can always use custom roms that do not have this limitation.

I've flashed about 2 ROMs now that claimed to allow the facebook sync and they haven't worked lol can anyone direct me to one that actually does work and they know first hand? I'm going to look into that busybox editting text file business now in the meantime.
Lol Hino, what ROMs have that actually working? JB ROMs at least. I've tried just about all of them and I didn't have numbers from Facebook on any one of them.

Do you think you could link me to the ROMs that actually have the Facebook sync working properly, or link me to a thread that walks me through how to use busybox to bypass this stuff. I've honestly tried everything and searched since you posted this and nothing I can find works.
I don't think there is any that works the way you want, sorry. Is a fb issue. If that is a must have for you, maybe you will have to try another phone.... a shame

Custom ROMs often have Facebook sync hacked into them. You can't do this on stock if you need full contact and number syncing.

Can you please tell me which ROMs i can install to have this done ? Can i install that ROM and then export my contacts into my computer and revert to stock and import them again? or will that not work either? even so what is the custom rom i can use, i've used tons that claim it but none perform it

I thought that too. If you go to "Contacts" your fb friends show up, no numbers or other info though. Nothing in "Phone"

You tried to export them? There must be a way once you do get the contacts synced to save them into the phone and not just under the synced profile that way you can export them. I tried to export them off my other phone running gingerbread and put them onto my Gnex but it was a no-go the file i extracted had 0 bytes for some reason it just didn't want to export the contacts at all.. Was hoping it was still possible but I suppose its not
This is from Facebook site. Only option I found for you, would be to export them and add them to Gmail.

I guess there is no way to bypass this at all. I checked that out and the extension is deleted and with more research apparently this used to work until facebook updated their coding so it doesn't work anymore.

Using native sms app with Google Voice

Anyone know how to use the native messaging app through google voice? I know there is an option within the app but it uses different phone numbers for the incoming so when you respond it will know you its going to.
What I am looking for is something that will full integrate, using my contacts phone numbers when they message me. Also when i start a thread from within the messaging app i want it to go through google voice. I found this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mdrtools.apps.gvintegration&hl=en
But is that the only way to make it happen? Thanks!

Same.. I used to use that all the time but now I'm on an unlimited plan.
If you're rooted, I've found that this app works perfectly for me on the Nexus:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vintegration.free&feature=more_from_developer
Disclaimer: I've got the paid version. This is the free one and I don't know what the difference is haha.

I just loaded the free one, cant tell the difference between the paid and the free. This app got a lot of bad reviews so i was skeptical... seems to be working ok. How is your battery life with it?
Also I am on an unlimited plan as well, i just want to start giving out my GV number and not my regular number anymore... Time for a change
I haven't had any trouble with battery life. There was an older version of the app that sucked down battery, but since it's been updated I haven't noticed any appreciable decrease.
The free version is apparently a trial version.

TW Email vs. AOKP Email

I've become very annoyed with the fact the stock (JB) TW email app will not allow me to drill down to sub folders within my exchange inbox. Am I missing something here? I know you can do this easily with the (JB) AOKP version. How difficult is it to remove the TW email app and install the AOKP Email and Exchange Services found here in this repository thread?

Just follow the instructions. Quite simple and if it doesn't work, simply restore from your nandroid backup.

Ah yes. I guess I should have mentioned my device is not currently rooted. So I'm assuming in order to do this I would need to root.

Umm to replace a system app, I believe so. You can try ES files explorer but I'm pretty sure you'll need root rights.

Yes you will need to be rooted to remove a system app. Titanium Backup can do this. And why not use the gmail app?
Try K-9 email client from market. Best I've ever tried

By sub folders I mean, separate folders within the Inbox folder.
Im a heavy exchange user and the stock app works fine. In fact I even have my sub folders pushing which the phone alerts me whenever a new message arrives.
If you can't access your sub folders then you have something set up wrong.

I want to add a hotmail email account?
Also location services not working on map. When I press navigation "waiting for location" appears. It seems to be taking a long time. It works after a few minutes. I went into maps found my location as you said. Anyway to make location work faster.
Also at the top right hand side of my phone the sync arrows are there? What does that mean.
Also I do not see a browser that installed. I thought Chrome would be on the device. Don't see it?
Thanks for the fast response.
For the browser why won't u just download chrome from the play store? Location works but it is slow. U need to remember miui or any custom ROM for that matter are all work in progress and should not be taken as a perfect working ROM. There should be a tab on the email app that should let u add another email.

So far so good. Everything is working fine. I am always a little nervous when doing updates on Rom's. So thanks for putting up with my questions.
Thanks for continuing to update this phone. I love it and don't want to start with a new one yet.

I have two gallery apps on my computer. One is Google which plays slide shows etc
One is the Miui Gallery Apk. which does not work.
Can I delete the Miui Gallery Apk using root explorer and safely loose anything?

You mean send a SMS at a certain time each day? Not with stock app, as far as I know. But you can use apps specifically for this eg
