Looking for someone to mid stock email app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for someone that can mod the stock email app in order to use the new card UI that Google is now using. Similar to what tapatalk is using now, as well as many others.
What I am looking for is for each email line to be a card, then when opening the email the header would be a card and the body would be a card.
Anyone think they can do this? For an idea take a look at evomail in the market. It has started to move in this direction but is terrible at handling email, and doesn't do exchange.
PM me if you would like to work together on this. I can easily pass ideas or test the apk, but know nothing about programming so wouldn't be helpful with that part. If this can be done by just theming let me know, as I can do a little of that and would love to help there too.
I personally think this is how the email app should look in the future...and seeing as how Google is beta testing a new email app, maybe it will be. But until then I would like to get started.
Thanks in advance.

edit google calendar event owner

wondering if someone has a solution for the missing feature in the google calendar described or discussed here:
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...gle-calendar-on-an-event-after-its-been-syncd
I find it very annoying since when I'm in a rush I'll just create the event and not so much care about the owner but later on I really need to edit it. so I was thinking maybe there was an app that could do that?
would be thrilling if we could come up with something!

Was this fixed? It is SO annoying when it's not editable on the Android phone!!

Making almost a guest log in kinda thing. Read plse

So alot of people ask to use my Samsung captivate cause that see it as a coop phone. I don't mind letting other people play around with it but I just hvlave things on it that are private to me.
So my idea is to:
Use a different launcher
A different browser
Set up a custom app drawer
Not include messaging or contacts or anything
Well that's all I have. I guess if this helps anyone or if anyone has any ideas that would be great.

I get your drift, and I can see how something like that could be really popular. I know some folks are really addicted to these social games where they take turns and play with someone. Taking that idea into a romantic direction would work, I'd think. Something on the order of "Draw Something" or "Words With Friends" that was password protected and was on the order of "Truth or Dare" or something like that might find a huge market...particularly if you could attach audio or pictures. SMS just isn't a perfect substitute because it doesn't bring in the "game" aspect or provide the same kind of "rules" or "choices".

thank you for thinking outside the box to see the kind of app i'm looking for. we do the "texting" thing. i'm looking for something different. something that could promote new ideas and things to do. something that takes some of the control away.
App for Couples
There is a new app for couples out that could provide you with something of what you are looking for.
Search iLoveNote on Google Play for Android Devices. The App is awaiting release in the App store for IOS devices.
I was also looking for a similar app. I found an app so I want to make happy to my girlfriend with my performance.:

[MOD] [9/7/2012] AOSP Email attachment size 25MB from 5MB & ZIP restriction removed !

[MOD] [9/7/2012] AOSP Email attachment size 25MB from 5MB & ZIP restriction removed !
This will be my very first MOD I am posting.
After seeing how much cooler the AOSP Mail was over HTC Mail, and not to mention the extra security and certificates upgrades that the Exchange servers are going through. I decided to give it a spin.
My only let down was when i tried to attach a 8MB file, it FAILED and said that the attachment was too large..... WHAT A DEAL BREAKER.
Well, After doing some research I found out that the AOSP mail that has been out will only allow a 5MB attachment size.
I finally fixed the thing to allow up to 25MB of attachment size, b/c i was so frustrated with it, i did something about it and spent a lot of time hunting down things.
Below are three flashable zip files for your flashing pleasure.
AOSPMail_Exchange_25MB.zip is the modified AOSP with 25MB attachment size limit
OrigionalHTC_MAIL.zip will put back the original Mail.apk from HTC that came with the ICS Sense Global 3.6 - 4.03.605.2 update.
This one will assume that you flashed the AOSP mail with the Exchange.apk included in it. It will delete that Exchange.apk and put the original Mail.apk from HTC back in place.
AOSPMail_CM9_25MB.zip is the one for CM9 that was tested by someone to work with Kangs 9CM
Hope everyone enjoys and appreciates this ! I tested this out a couple of times on my Rezound and didn't have any issues using my hotmail account
A note about odex ROMS that are out there: You must delete Mail.odex in the \system\app folder to get this to work or you will get mail force close issues.
Any constructive feedback is appreciated! :good:
Don't forget to hit the thanks button if you like what i have done, and if you use my AOSP Mail.apk mod in your ROM please be sure to mention me.
Finally deciding to give back to the community in a small way at least; maybe a big one...
09/07/2012 - Added Mail for CM9 Kang with 25MB attachment limit.
12/16/2012 - Added the ability to download zip files now; zip restriction removed

AOSPMail&Exchange_25MB.zip MD5= dbb284d509ba1b6f5510b0d45eac8cd6

AOSPMail_CM9_25MB.zip MD5= ac59315de142f9066df5172ffd58c3ab
this could be extremely useful to those who even use the email app.

Ok, it looks like the email for CM9 was modified in some way ( judging from file sizes, etc ) from the one that I modified,
I pulled out the email.apk from CM9 kang and made the necessary changes.
I need someone to test this for CM9 kang.
If this works I will post it in OP

Hi guys,
I installed the AOSP version through recovery and don't know where to find it. I have InsertCoin 9.6.3 currently. In the apps drawer I have the old Email HTC app.
Sorry for the noob question. Thanks.

The version in the zip replaces mail.apk in \system\app in case of NON CM9 roms ( sense base ),
insertcoin uses mail.apk so make sure you used the right one ( AOSPMail&Exchange_25MB.zip )
You could also use a program like root explorer to manually place the modified files in that location in system/app and set the permissions.

The zip restriction for downloading zip files has been removed

awesome email apk
does this bypass the exchange security measures? any or just PIN requirements? tried it and it doesnt but the email patcher does work.
the regular aosp didnt work with my jobs exchange server for whatever reason. i would get an error but the cm9 version did on my razr maxx(xt912)
its not often but when i do send larger files via email the only gripe i had has been relieved by your apk.
thanks a bunch.

well, i think that might be a little beyond me as far as removing those exchange security measures to be honest. This was/is my first mod.
I will look into it but i think i would require extensive code modification that i am just not familiar with at the moment.

I appreciate the reply and your hard work on this. I've tried to work on apps myself but can't find the time and though you say its out of your depth to do what I'm inquiring about I can't even start to work on this stuff.
So again thanks for the hard work.
kitkat 5mb attachment limit
Hello,
I modified "AttachmentInfo.java" and "AttachmentUtilities.java" from
android 4.4 source code, then I rebuild the "Email.apk" application.
The problem is that after all those source code modifications, the 5MB attachment restriction it is still there.
What other files need to be modified?
I got to look, but it's a smali file and there is literally one one change that needs to be done in the code to get it to go to 25mb attachment size.
For the world of me I don't know who is the fool that keeps building them like this. I don't know off the top of my head atm.
Once I look up my mod notes I will reply to you message so you see it in the notifications. If you would mind reply to my post I would appreciate it as it was a coincidence that I checked this thread.
Best regards

Hi,
Thank you for the reply!
Quote "For the world of me I don't know who is the fool that keeps building them like this."
I think that the AOSP Email App is crippled because, and I will continue with something I read it somewhere, Google wants the big files to be transferred using its services: Gmail with the Gmail App, Google Drive, etc. and while transferring them back and forth, gain a little insight on their content too.
If you find your old notes, this will ease the required work to make AOSP Email a good daily driver:
- attach as much as you like to your emails (the server knows better how much it wants to accept)
- attach any files, not only jpg and video (I am not such huge multimedia freak, I want normal email use too)
- save any attachment (including the "very dangerous" zip files wich are now forbidden to be saved...)
- maybe delete directly (after confirmation) instead of moving to Trash, and then having to delete them again...
There are only 2 threads on XDA about this problem, and now. thanks to you, I am close to an answer.

I know what i did however the files were uncompiled source which i do not work off of. Furthermore, you will need to provide me with a deodexed version of the APK file in question.

[Q] Group Messaging

Does anyone know if it possible to enable Group Messaging on the default messaging app? I tried searching the forums and looking through all the settings, but can't seem to find anything. What I mean is having everything in One thread.
Just type several numbers/names and you're good to go. I don't know if the participants will end up in one "thread", or if they'll end up in their own though. I'm afraid you'll have to try it out yourself Please report back with the result, so we all know how it works.

"group messaging" as in one thread doesn't exist. They each come in on their own thread. Looking around a lot last night I did, however, find an app that I am using as a full alternative to the native messaging app. Unlike WhatsApp and all those others, this isn't a chat service or anything along those lines. It was built to switch from the default messenger. Has full group messaging and a bunch of features. Not to mention free. Would highly recommend. Or just put cyanogenmod!

Brilliant recommendation!
Thanks!
Everything about it is perfect (except for the ugly icon), and as u say, addresses all the shortcomings of native SMS.

My only complaint is the icon as well. After using it for longer I still absolutely love it.
