i take no credit for this as i found it on the i9000 forums. this only wants on android 2.2 by the way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810454
if you replace this apk with the one in your system/app folder, it will work without you having to open the apk and install it. just make sure you back up your orginal email.apk as this one has one problem.
it needs to be resized to fit our phone, we are missing the refresh button at the bottom of the app and it also cuts off the bottom of emails.
what im asking is, can someone resize the dimension of the apk to fit our phone ?
Merci beaucoup monsieur!
Is there anyone that can work on this I tried using the one from sgs tools but it wouldn't load email at all looks nice though using nero v3

I've been using the one by Smoothone since the day after he posted it and am having no problems retrieving my emails from my Google and Yahoo accounts. I'm using Nero V3.
After you push the apk to system\app go to your phone settings, applications, manage applications and find your email app and clear your data and cache. This had solved many issues for lots of users.

I'm using the app from Smoothone, the feature set is great and it doesn't enforce my organizations exchange security policy, so I can use it without having to set it to the stupid numeric lock screen, or allow a remote administrator to wipe the phone.

Open Root explorer
Navigate to system/app
Scroll down to email.apk and change to email.bak (saves apk for later, should you want to revert back) to do that just long press and use 'rename'.
Find the email.apk file that you downloaded, long press it, and then either 'move' it or 'cut' or 'copy' it and 'paste' it back into system/app
Alternatively, I like to copy the original .apk and paste the copy in a created folder called stock ROM apps. Then just move the new .apk over the original one in the system/app file. No need to change the names and you can always go back by copy pasting the old one over the top of the new one.
Hope this helps
I've pushed it, but I can't get it to load my inbox. Deleted the files in App manager, but it still doesn't do anything to load the mails. It keeps saying that it's loading, but never finishes. I was able to send a message to my gmail account with it, but I was not able to retrieve one to the inbox that I returned in reply. The outbox works. The inbox is not.
Any suggestions?
P.S.
How about a black version instead of the cartoony blue that Samsung's got running through TouchWiz?
thanks Much appreciated MonteCristo22

Assuming you copied the email.apk to the root of your internal. Open root explorer. Find the folder called 'sdcard' that will be your internal. Click on that and find the new email.apk. Sometimes there will be a duplicate with a ._ in front of it. It isn't that one. It will just says email.apk and have a little android next to it. Long press on that icon and use the move command.
Then use the back button to go to the previous screen and you should see a folder named 'system'. Tap that file. The second file on the next screen is the app file. Click that. Now at the bottom of the screen there should be a button that says 'paste'. That button became active when you used the 'move' command. Press the paste button and it will move the new email.apk to that folder.

I've got slideit on my nook, but can't seem to activate it. It tells me I need to activate it manually, but when I go to settings/keyboard, the screen flickers and takes me to the home screen. I've tried disabling almost all the running apps and rebooting, but the same thing still happens.
I've been able to find help on rooting, adding apps, etc, on this forum, so maybe someone could give me some advice.
Try moving the apk from data/app to system/app folder then you should be able to install and setup the keyboard.

I had been trying with the stock. In NCT there's the option to choose keyboard but slideit isn't listed. I'll try downloading the apk and putting it in system/app again.
I'm also having a problem with SlideIT. I've pushed it to the device, and when I bring up NCT it's in fact the only option to select. However, it never actually comes up. In other words, if I enter a text entry box the keyboard never pops up.
Try messing with the permissions once it is in the systems/app folder. I've neutral been giving them full user permission but that might not be needed. Also sometimes a reboot is needed.

How i got mine working.
I installed it using dropbox. I put my apk file in dropbox, then i install it. Then i go to my sd card using root explorer, there is a folder called dropbox which the apk gets copied to. I copy and paste the apk in \system\app and then it still didnt work, so i went to the file, mounted as r/w in root explorer, then you long hold on the file name, and it gives the options of "permissions" which you select and then i checked all the boxes. I rebooted after that, which at this point you can use nook tools to set the keyboard.
Now that i helped with all that, how in the hell do you use this thing? I saw videos of swipe, and it looked amazing, to me this thing is like a regular keyboard although i can draw lines through it, it just has no clue what i am trying to type. maybe i will search for a tutorial or something.

This is easiest to understand when viewed.
As a simple test, place your forefinger on the letter T, and, without lifting it, slide diagonally over to E, then to S, and then back to T. Now lift your finger. If the word "test" did not appear, then your copy of SlideIT isn't finding its dictionary.

Try installing it, so it'll be in data/app, then copy it into system/app - changing permissions, and also keeping the original apk in data/app. Then reboot, and you should be able to select it in NookColorTools.

If it's really installed, it's in there somewhere. Look for com.dasur.slideit.apk
Still no luck. Isn't there a workaround? I imagine jve got the apk Somehow off his device since he loaded it on dropbox.
Thanks in advance!
Crap, so the developer overnight put the apk for a demo version online and I was able to get the apk into my app directory with root explorer. However I then went into the SlideIT application and changed input method. The app has a little text input box to do that. Unfortunately after doing this the app wanted a registration code, but the SlideIT not being activated I cannot enter it. So I thought to just enable trial mode but when the app tries to connect to the server it errors out. And I can't get back to the input selection box! help!
Tried to un install using astro but SlideIT doesn't show in list of apps. Only shows in app brain but un install failed. If only I could clear SlideITs cache!

I installed Nero 4.1 but I completly hate the stock email app. The orange glow at the top is terrible looking. I tried the Galaxy Tab email app that was ported to the correct size, but I was getting connection issues shortly after installing it and no new emails would come in (loved the look though).
I found this Gingerbread email.apk on xda (does have exchange security code taken out) and used root explorer to transfer it to System /App. I then cleared the email data from applications and setup my company's exchange account. This email app looks so much better than stock and completly matches the Gingerbread theme. I dont know why this isnt used as the stock email app for new builds. So far this is working without any issues. Just thought I should share.
I have attached screenshots but have blocked out any email addresses and last names of the emails.

Go to System/App using root explorer and rename the email.apk to email.apk.old. Then copy the Gingerbread email.apk to system/app. You will then need to go to settings/application/manage applications and clear the data on Email. Next time when you launch the email app it will ask you to input all your info and your done. This isnt a apk that you install. It has to be pushed to the system/app folder using root explorer.

I had installed Gingerbread Email.apk a while ago. However, the HTML hyper links inside email are not clickable. Sometime, I receive email messages which have hyper link. It was a pain not able to click on the link directly inside the mail. I like Galaxy Tab modified email better then stock version from Froyo, or Gingerbread.
That's so weird because I can click on hyperlinks that are in my emails.

I know there was a moddified gmail for the Incredible that had this built in. I loved it, but for some reason it wasn't as popular as I thought it would be and it wasn't included in many ROMs. I'd love for someone to mod it for our bolts, though. I don't use the gmail widget for LP+ so it's really no help to me

FYI, the reason for not showing pictures automatically in emails is that images in email are often hosted elsewhere, and spammers can detect when you download images in their emails and they then know that your email address is actually being used. So it's an anti-spam measure.
There's an apk for this in the Android Apps and Games forum up top. A quick search in that forum should find it.

Hey all.
Some of us using custom roms have been looking for and asking about the HC google calendar, as it has a better appeal to some of us. I extracted the .apk from a xoom rom and all works great. So i figured I'd post it here for anyone else who wanted it.
All you need to do is place the .apk in system/app/ folder. (I used root explorer to paste it there.) Dont click install since it wont work, just reboot and it will show up in your app drawer. I renamed the old calendar to calendar.bak so its still there if i ever want it back. Hope you all enjoy.

Thanks for sharing - hope we can get the widget to work.
works for me. i didnt rename it. i thought i needed too but apparently it works fine just as it is. but i did change the permission to rw- r-- r to match the original permission.
personally i prefer the monthly view from the TW version. but the weekly and daily view from the HC version.
works great for me... thanks

I didnt rename it or change permissions. All i did was in Root Explorer i made sure i was in r/w mode.
Not sure about tasks dont have the tab near me so can check. I use a task program called Tasks N Todos it syncs with google and works like a charm. I can even do recurring tasks and create folders.
The widget from the TW calendar stays but doesnt work. I wish i knew how to remove it, bugs me having in my list. There are widget apps for calendars, but i dont must have a widget anyways.
I considered a screen shot but realized i have too many private stuff in my calendar. If someone would care to make on and ill add it to the OP.
Glad its working for everyone didnt think it would be this much in demand.
Hey medic97 - which rom did you rip this file from? I think calendarprovider.apk needs to be replaced as well to fix the fc's.
This seems to be lacking the List (agenda) view my prior Calender.apk had that I found very handy. I have been running Task ROMs.
Edit: Calender.apk with List view option shows About: 3.2-UEKMM. I restored back to it and will keep it as I like that 'List' list.
This probably isn't a big issue but it's getting on my nerves. When I go to settings and hit keyboard, a 'Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.' I did "try" to root and unroot it. Anyone had this problem? Can anyone help??
Yeah, that's a common problem for everybody. Here's 2 ways you can change keyboards:
1.) Get Keyboard Manager from the Market. It can even let you choose different keyboards for portrait and landscape orientations.
2.) Go into The NT Hidden Settings app -> Acessibility Settings -> ignore the pop up -> input method
oh thank you so much. I had no idea it was a common problem. I searched for it here and on google. didn't find anything on it. but im relieved now that i know i'm not the only one. thanks.
I've downloaded and tried keyboard manager and downloaded several keyboards. None of the keyboards ever show up though. The only option I ever get in input is the default Android Keyboard.
I forgot to mention that you'll have to move the keyboard app into the /system/app folder of your device. Then reboot and you will have access to the different keyboards.
Also, there's a thread devoted to installing alternate keyboards in the Themes and Apps sub-forum. I would provide a link to the thread but I'm using my Tablet now and I have yet to flash CM7 with its copy/paste, haha.
Yep after moving the hackers keyboard to the right directory, it`s working great.

Also, there's a thread devoted to installing alternate keyboards in the Themes and Apps sub-forum. I would provide a link to the thread but I'm using my Tablet now and I have yet to flash CM7 with its copy/paste, haha.

I am having trouble getting into the /system/app folder in my device. I've connected the NT to my PC, but cannot find the folder, and I've made it to show hidden folders.
My girlfriend got this Nook for her mother, and I'm really trying to get a good Japanese keyboard for her. I downloaded OpenWnn from the Market, but I can't find the APK file anywhere on the device either. I know I making some n00b mistakes! Please help me out!

You won't find it that way. Use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer on the device.

Yeah, this.
I recommend ES File Explorer, as it's free and easy to use. In the app, hit the Favorites tab and you should see the internal storage represented by just a slash ( / ).

Thank you, I had ES File explorer already installed. I found the system/app folder, but I don't know where to find my APK file (for OpenWnn) I downloaded from the marketplace. However, the Keyboard Manager I downloaded, is showing up the system/app folder already.
Thanks a lot you guys for helping this n00b.
Also, this is kind of unrelated and I'm sure there is a 100 page thread somewhere about this, but whenever I checkmark "Allow third party applications", it automatically unchecks itself when I go back.
Thanks,
Greg

Try /data/app - that's where market apps typically go.

Glad to hear you got it working. In case you were still wondering or for others who have the same question, the keyboard app you downloaded was probably in this location: /data/app. From there you'd just want to move the app into the /system/app folder. Then reboot and you should be good to go (don't worry if you keep getting a force close of the keyboard app before you reboot).
EDIT: ckevin, you're too quick, haha.

Moved the file to the system/folder.. and it finally showed up in the accessibility setting, but still getting an error that it stopped unexpectedly.
Has anyone got another keyboard with a foreign language to work? I've been searching the forums for hours, but I haven't found any successful way to do this.
It looks like some people got swype and possibly other keyboards to work with CM7 installed.. Thinking I should go that route, but it's still in Alpha. I REALLY need the japanese keyboard, or this tablet is somewhat useless. Thanks everyone for your help.
Nook Force Close trying to change Keyboard
I have ES File Explr, I have seen the folders noted in the previous replies. Unfortunately, I cannot find the keyboard apk at all. There is actually nothing in my /data/app folder. From what I can tell, most are in the /system/app folder ...except the keyboard one I need.
So, to get around this, I downloaded a keyboard apk to my PC and then dropped it into my Download folder on my Nook. From there I used ES File Explr to copy/paste it to system/app folder -- but it would not allow this. I tried to "Move To" and "Cut/Paste" as well as the aforementioned "Copy/Paste." None of these were allowed.
I am at a complete loss. I understand I need to move the new Keyboard apk to system/app folder, but I still cannot find where it is stored. It does indicate "Installed." I tried a search in ES File Expl (for the word Keyboard, as it is in the apk name - even trying *.*apk, which was of no use, of course).
This thread addressed everything I asked and seemed to answer same. And I will continue looking for add'l help elsewhere in the forum. But if anyone can help me, I would be sooo very appreciative. Thanks!
PS:
I have the Nook Tablet orig. released Winter of 2011/2012, I think (when they first came out as "official Nook Tablet" with the Jane Lynch commercials (at the time Best Buy didn't even know they existed when I went in to purchase one). I rooted it (because a week after I got it they pulled that auto update that screwed all of us). But, aside from the root, I am not a super user. Everything I've done has been with the help of the masterful XDA instructions.
