Gmail mod request - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to know if its possible to create a modified gmail that will automatically download pictures in email without having to click show pictures each time?

Get Launcher pro plus....the gmail widget does that very thing...plus the launcher itself is kickass...worth the few bucks

I have that app is great but I hate the fact the widget eats up battery the way it does

I use it and using one of the 1.5ghz kernals I'm getting about 9hours out of it....I just bought a charger and set of batteries off eBay and keep it at work and swap halfway through the day...works awesome for me...

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.

Ok, just did it and works perfectly.
got the black themed apk here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11798123&postcount=217
and did the following
deleted gmail.apk in system/app using root explorer, (tap r/o to change to r/w if cannot delete)
copied gmail.apk from SDcard, pasted into system/app
Long tap onto gmail.apk in root explorer, tap on permissions and checked all unchecked permissions.
Rebooted and everything worked, and the black gmail is really nice
edit: Be sure to rename the APK you are using to gmail.apk

[Q] samsung galaxy email apk

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!

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.

WIN.
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.

Thanks for finding this. I tried this when it was first posted awhile back and liked it except the size issue. Glad someone fixed it for us. Again thanks for finding.

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.

Gingerbread 2.3 Email Works with Nero 4.1 & Axura

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007
Update: Installed Axura 2.2.6.0, Gingerbread 2.3 email app seems to be working on this build also.
Update: I have attached the stock Nero email.apk in case any body has issues and needs to revert back.

The attached email.apk in the link you reference was accidentally deleted per the OP - can you re-post it here or there?
I downloaded the Email.apk and used Astro to install it. It failed and then I
uninstalled 2.2 and then tried again and this time it says application not
installed. Do I have to use Root Explorer or ADB to push it? I have used
Astro to install a few apps such as market and did not get any problem.
In addition, the file size, data size and total size are all shown as 0. But the
downloaded apk is indeed 1.7m in size.
update: Used root explorer to paste the app to /system/app and it worked.

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.

Blue Themed Gmail Apk!

Here are are some blue themed Gmail apk's that I made for the xoom and definitely work on the Samsung Google IO tab 10.1. You must delete your gmail apk first (I recommend copy to another location) then side load any of these with something like drop box or push via ADB. Let me know if you have any problems.
If you like hit the thanks button please!
Enjoy!

[APP] Google HC Calendar 3.2.2

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.

worked fine for me on task 5.2
Saw the app after reboot, opens and edit calendar entries. Although the Cal widget FCs.
Did change the name to only Calendar.apk, but did not even touch the permissions.
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
does anyone know the way to let my tasks show up on the calendar. it just show up the events

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.

Email apk *to replace the system APK *Stock gingerbread

Push to SDcard
Move to system/app using root explorer *or free alternative.
change permissions to:
Code:
Read, Write
Read

^ Just like that.
then reboot
and

Don't forget: Backup your stock email apk, just in case.
Does this replace the B&N app when using their launcher too? I'm getting very upset with it constantly re-downloading all of my email...

It worked just fine on my tablet and another persons tablet. Check completely through your app drawer for it it should be called "Email"
Got it up and going fairly effortlessly...
the mistake I was making?
I am using Go Launcher Ex...after reboot I looked at E and M for Email or Mail...well, it wasn't there (even though I was sorting alphabetically)
It turns out, it WAS there in my app drawer...it just went to the very last page of my app drawer and was listed after Widget Locker...obviously NOT in alphabetical order, haha
Maybe you guys were also having this problem?
Yep that was my issue as well. PEBKAC. Sorry for the mixup. Thanks for the app!

My main issue was that I was initially trying to launch it using the stock nook home apps screen.

Yeah, exactly the same thing happened with me. Go Launcher doesn't always seem to auto-sort correctly.
Not sure if that's an error or feature of Go Launcher but it doesn't seem to happen all the time. Recently downloaded apps are placed at the end of the app draw. I like it cause I down load so many apps, I forget what I've downloaded.
Lately however, I've noticed that new apps appear in order with a little orange label in the upper right corner of the icon - I think it says new.
Awesome! Thanks, Indirect. This worked perfectly for me.
On a side note, this also fixed an issue with contacts. I was stuck with the abysmal stock contact list manager, because nothing else I installed would allow creation or editing of contacts. With the stock email app is in place, I can now use GO Contacts to create and edit contacts.
BTW: email addys open a new email, street addresses open in Google Maps, and phone numbers open chat in textPlus if you have these installed.
the download link is no longer work. Can you send me a new URL?
Thanks
Please ignore my last post. I found it at your other thread.
Thanks
