Samsung Email missing in JPC - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
I posted this in the general section but couldn't get an answer.
Basically I flashed and rooted JPC to my Bell Vibrant via ODIN, but I've lost the Samsung Email app, which IMO is the best mail app I've used on android.
Does anyone have the Samsung mail app? ANy way you could share it with me?
I've tried k9, maildroid, stock email and they all are incredibly unreliable or slow.
Thanks very much

I've yet to see something called Samsung Mail. Wasn't present in JM3, JM5 or JM6

It was deffinitely there in JG9 when I got my phone. I guess it basically tied into SocialHub, but it was pretty reliable and had a unified inbox.

Such App exists?
Whenever people mentioned I thought it was the normal Email app

the normal mail app has a unified inbox. there's one apk, i think it's social hub, that showed mail + messages at the same time but that one just started the normal mail app

Yeah, but the normal mail app is quite abysmal. Mail is one thing Android is noticeably weak at.
The samsung email app I used was deffinitely different to the mail app. it's unified inbox and account switching was far better and it downloaded mail really fast.
Does anyone know where I can download the Bell JG9 firmware? Maybe i can extract the apk from it?

I've posted this question as well and have not received an answer. I have not been able to locate a sys file that would indicate that it is responsible for the Samsung Email. Either way, UGJH2 has it included so use that as unless you backed up JG9 I'm not aware of it being publicly available.

Sweet. I'll try that then and report back. At least I'm not crazy regarding it's existence.

How do I extract an apk from a firmware? I'm totally clueless...sorry

use Root Explorer to view /system/app, should be in there but the name might be different from what's shown in the app.
If you find it I'd be interested in having a look. Or can someone post a screenshot at least?

But that would require me to flash back to JH2 from JPC, and I'm not sure how easy it would be to flash back?
If I make a backup using clockwork, can I just flash that back, instead of having to do the whole JPC+root process?

you can also mount factory.rfs as loop device and then just get the apk from it

was just playing with some stuff and found this in the JH2 image: http://www.multiupload.com/PKYK17W8M3
Doesn't really work on my JPC though, stuck on "In progress..."

Wonder why only the Bell phones got the Smasung email app. So weird.

So I had to restore my JPC rom. This time however, samsung email was there. I'll dig around and try and find the apk.
In the meantime I took some screenshots. Just gmail accounts right now, since my schools IMAP server is down.

Vanilla MMS for NON-ROOTED

This is for us 2.1 leakers that want a little fun. I've finally figured out, with the help of jonasl, how to get this Vanilla MMS app to install on a NON-ROOTED phone. Just download the file, put it on the SD card, install it using Astro or any other file manager, and you're good to go.
NOTE: The only problem I've come across so far, is that when someone sends you a message, you get ONE notification, but when you go and view the thread or conversation, TWO messages appear in the thread from that person. The same message just shows up twice. Not exactly sure why and how to fix it, so I guess we have to deal with that for now until I figure out a way to fix it.

Download: Mmz.apk
Please DONATE if you love this.
I second this. I want the texting interface from Vanilla over the Sense messaging.
Please hook us up. Searching got me nothing.
Here is a modded Vanilla Mms.apk but you need root: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/15/download-new-mms-apk-with-custom-settings/
That's the point. I want someone to mod it, or recreate it using a different name for the app and all so it will install like any other replacement like Handcent.
WITHOUT root.
Here, try this. I installed this .apk and it worked for me, though I'm root. Though it's an .apk so it shouldn't matter.
Tell me if it works for you too.

Nope no work
Doesn't work for me either with the newest Rooted Leak (v4?).
The point is, these apk's don't work if you're not rooted. It thinks you're replacing the standard MMS app. I was wanting someone to mod it or port it so it installs like Handcent would as a side app, not one to replace the original. It would have to be a different name and all.
Is it any different than the Mail app? I was able to replace that with the .apk provided on this forum.
I guess it is. I don't know. All I know is it won't install. And I'm guessing it's because it's got the same package name as HTC stock messaging. The package name just needs to be changed slightly so that it will install.
I see. Something the dev needs to do or something a novice just has to simply edit? Someone told me this thing would work if I just renamed it from ".zip" to ".apk." It didn't, but is it something along those lines?
I'll give you an example. In the thread about the modded version of the HTC_IME keyboard, a couple of months ago I tried to install it on an unrooted Eris and it wouldn't. I assumed it wouldn't because the actual keyboard on the Eris is already named HTC_IME so it only gave the option to uninstall (which isn't possible without root) or launch.
Recently, he updated it, and one of the updates said "Changed the package name to my own." Now, I tried it again, and it installs on the Eris and works perfectly. This is what I am trying to do with this MMS app. I want to take the Vanilla MMS app, and change the package name so it will install on an unrooted Eris alongside the stock messaging app, sorta like Handcent or Chomp does.
Basically I need to know how to change the package name, which I don't know how to do without source files to the app.
Now I see. Damn. I do secretly wish I was rooted and running Vanilla (or just bought a Droid in the first place ) so I'm really hoping to get the lock screen and Messaging app from stock Android on my non-rooted Eris. Either that, or they root the official 2.1 and we all rejoice.
I posted a thread for help on this.. Sorry.. Should have asked here first..
I tried the adb remount command.. and get this error
"adb remount operation not permitted"
Also.. so luck trying Astro File manager to copy/move to system/app
I am rooted and currently using GrdLocks VanillaDroid ROM
Any help would be appreciated.. thanks
This is actually a thread about trying to get the Vanilla MMS app to work and install on a non-rooted phone. And I've actually FINALLY figured out how. Everyone go look at the top of the thread.
Came here looking for an update... Great work! Carry on!
First off thank you for sharing. changed the name installed with htc sync and set as default messangr. works like a charm however i made a shortcut for it but it automatically morphs back to the original message icon. but when i click on it its the vanilla messanger? not a biggie i just preferred the green icon. any way to fix this easily.
?
any progress?
I know this is kinda old news but I am wanting to do the same thing for my Incredible but with the froyo mms.apk which I have extracted.. could you tell me what you did to make this work. I am like you I don't care to replace the stock just add the better vanilla mms Was it as easy as renaming the apk or is there more to it. any help is appreciated I am curious and interested in learning more things like this.
HI all, i know a little late but better than never i am using G.Tab and the Messaging 1.0 came with it is good but lack of a message counter that tracks your character typed (160 characters counter).
that is why i have to use chompSMS (uninstalled) and handcent (better than chomp imho). problem is whenever i receive a sms, clicking on the notification area, will bring me a choice of reading via handcent or messaging 1.0, which i always choose handcent. and after reading, i always have to go back to the notification area to clear the leftover icon.
does this vanilla has a character typed counter? if so, i really would like to use it on SGT. has anyone tried on SGT?

WORKING! [MAY 6] Social Hub/Hotmail email/ IM deodexed!! WORKING!!

With the help of user cappysw10 for the deodexing, i have the Samsung Email, Samsung IM, and Social Hub. Social hub needed to be deodexed for custom roms. These programs were given to us by samsung and just needed to be adjusted to run on these custom roms, this should not be considered warez
in case you aren't familiar with what this adds to your phone and why i am sharing this,
the Samsung Email program handles multiple email accounts including yahoo, Gmail but most importantly adds HOTMAIL email with push notifications and marks things read!
the IM adds Hotmail, yahoo, gmail Messenger, AND adds hotmail SNS syncing to your contacts and shows their online status and information in your contact list when you join the contact, much like the facebook/skype/gmail sns additions but for hotmail.
Social Hub brings the above email, IM, TXT and facebook! all into one convenient place.

In Progress......
Everything installed fine as per instructions but after I open either program and click next it sits at a box saying "in progress". After about five minutes it says "your action took too long to complete and timed out. Please try again". I have tried wifi and mobile data. I am using serendipity 5.9 and hardcore 13b. Any thoughts?

unfortunately my apping knowlege is very limited, as stated above someone else deodexed, i just found the newest version i could and tore it out of the rogers 2.2 stock rom.
EDIT: just a thought, may be off base, but is serindipity JPY based? different base will change the framework and deodexing may not work.
Serendipity is 2.2.1 I'm pretty sure, jpy based

well i just added the original un deodexed versions if any one can get it working in other ROMS, ill add them to the top post.
im sorry i cant be of more help, its working perfect for me and Cappy10sw on our roms.
Going to install Serendipity 5.9 and try to install. Meh, I'm bored and have nothing else to do on a snowy day. Will report back.

No joy Serendipity 5.9, dunno why. Going back to Cognition!
Seven must be a Rogers thing, won't work on Cog.
I'm also getting the "in progress" thing for 5 minutes and then it tells me I'm out of time. I'm on Cog 3.04
I'd love if you could get this working, it would mean the world!
Is this any different than the one that's included in JPY? Because I have that sitting on my hard drive, and can't think of a reason for that one not to work.
Sent from my Captivate.
notr sure about the JPY but I get the same "in progress" with Serendipity 5.11
Looking through the logs I see (removed my imei and msisdn):
Code:
[Z7ServicePointDiscoverer]POS query = http://gsd.fra.samsungsocialhub.com/gsd/getPos?secureKey=m33tch33z3n0Bn&imei=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&mnc=410&mcc=310&msisdn=xxxxxxxxxxx&maker=Samsung&model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I897&version=23.41.4242.3
When I put that into browser, with my data still in place, I get a return of:
Point of service not found
So I think that it's a service of Rogers as it seems to check your imei and sd card info.
Has anyone thought of modding the files to have a lighter background (as opposed to the black one) for Samsung Mail?
I managed to get all the apps installed (Samsung Mail, Samsung IM, Social Hub) and all are working perfectly and everything is in sync and all my accounts (1 Exchange, 2 Gmail and 1 Hotmail) are being pushed in real-time to my device and Social/IM accounts (Twitter, Facebook, Windows Live Messenger and Gtalk) are all synched with my contacts through SNS and I love it
My only qualm is that I would like a lighter background as an option (I really don't know why but after modding and using Gmail with a lighter background on my HTC Legend I've come to like the look)
wow! it works for you too NICE... i was thinking there was a regional problem..
unfortunatly after it not working initially for a few people it hasnt been very popular or worth theming. however im about to flash to stock to get the updated versions and get it deodexed hopefully....
WAIT!! FOUND the new versions.... Added to OP..

[Q] AdFree

Adfree does not block Ads on my TP and I have no idea what to do to fix it.
I have updated the hosts file and it says success you may need to reboot etc, but after a reboot the ads are still there.
I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times trying to get it to work but no joy so far.
I am currently running the official 0522 nightly but Adfree has never worked no matter what rom i have installed.
I would appreciate any advice you can give me.
I stopped using adfree a long time ago, mainly because of this(not blocking anything). I started using Adaway and it works perfectly.
I second AdAway. I've been using it for a while on my phone and it works great.
Thanks for the heads up, AdAway works nicely, it helps to stop my browser from constantly crashing and force closing without any warning.
Now if I could just figure out a way for the browser to remember to keep me logged in to certain sites like this one. Each time i leave the site I have to re log in. It didn't used to do that with the Alpha version. But on the nightlies it won't remember. The only plus to that is it does remember my user name and pw and enters it into the fields so all i have to do is is tap the logon button. It gets sort of cumbersome after a while when you use a site like this all the time though.

Well, I haven't had this problem with the chrome beta, but the only problem with it is that they've yet to give the ability to use flash player with it.
If I have to come here, I use the XDA Premium app. But that's just me. Chrome remembers most of what I need for most of where I go, and where it doesn't, it does the same - plugs in the username and pass for me.
Do any of you guys have this app that I can download directly. (Not through the market) Every time I try to download it I get this message.

Not sure what the rules are on posting apk's that are not mine here on XDA but I do know where you can get the apk. The developer posted it on several places. This is one of them.

[Q] Can't receive MMS

About a week or so ago maybe, it started that I can't receive MMS messages. I can't figure it out for the life of me. I can send them fine, but if someone sends me a picture in an MMS, I don't receive it. No errors, no picture, no notification of it, nothing. But if they send it to my mms address ([email protected]), then I'll get it.
I normally use the default messaging app that comes with android, but I tried a third party app (the go one) and same problem. This is all on a Samsung Captivate currently running Slim Bean 3.1.0 (Android 4.1.2). I want to say the problem started when I went from Slim Bean 2.4 to 4.1 rc1, but I'm not really sure if it started then or not. Since then, I've deleted the caches and formatted and all and put the latest Official Slim Bean release on here and the problem persists. Straight Talk (my provider) is pretty much useless for support. I have quadruple checked my APN settings and they are all correct.
Any ideas?
Good Morning! I had this same problem of not being able to receive MMS. I had frozen the default messaging app because I use Go Messaging. I finally figured out that Go Messaging (and maybe other replacements) relies on the default messaging app to download MMS. I have been receiving MMS, now that I leave the default messaging app unfrozen.
Good luck!
That's not really the problem here. I dunno what is though.
sounds like some of your APN settings for mms could be messed up. are you on AT&T or another carrier?
if at&t, here are a couple of screen shots of my working settings

That's because there's a maximum size that can be sent (often app dependant) using our androids. Most likely can be changed in the app's settings or by using another app.
I had this problem while upgrading my daughters fascinate. I goofed up the flash along the way and lived without MMS. I called Verizon. Did a manual upgrade successfully and still no mms. I went back to GB stock via Odin for another reason and checked MMS for the hell of it. It worked. I had to flash the Pit file, the tar all in one package together and viola! MMS. Good luck

It didn't used to do it. This is new. It wouldn't let me send large files, but it didn't reduce quality and/or shrink them either.
I'm wondering if I should attempt getting the thing back to stock, but I really am not sure how to do it. I found a thread here, but I'm still confused really, lol. And 2.3 seems like a pretty big downgrade from 4.1
There has got to be a setting or file or something somewhere that's causing this. Or maybe something missing, I dunno. I wish now I would've just left the damn thing using slimbean 2.4 and not upgraded it. It was all fine till then, except for Google's retarded f'ing Play store telling me apps wouldn't work when I knew better...

Going back to stock is fairly easy, just grab Odin KK4 without bootloaders (stickied in the Dev section).
But Imo, go ahead and give another ROM a shot if that one doesn't satisfy you.

It's just going to take some time and patience. Learn how to Odin. Get all of the necessary files and watch some tutorials. But above all else don't panic. You won't be able to focus on what you are doing and that's what needs to happen for you to get your phone in order. Getting back to stock is really easy. You'll be fine. Go on YouTube for video instructions.

Marshmallow Gmail Notifications

I thought i had fixed this problem after setting Gmail as my default email but alas no.
The only way to recieve emails is when i pick the phone up and unlock the screen.
When the phones screen is off no emails are recieved.Whatapp and Text work ok.
Gmail is set to sync its the default in advanced settings.Its not even listed in protected apps so i cant turn that on.Im not sure if its the phone or marshmallow just wondered if anyone else was experiencing this.

it was duscussed before, its marshmallow bug, i believe that huawei will release one more update for marshmallow in Q1, because this is unacceptable for people that are using emails every day, and its one of the most important features that needs to be fixed
I just updated gmail and it seems to work again but not sure for how long.

I got 1 email after updating the gmail app but its back to before no email when screen is off.
Same here.It's quite irritating.
Gmail also doesnt appear under protected apps whats that about !
Does anyone have any idea of when this will be fixed?
I have the latest B317 firmware via OTA but its still not working. I've tried Bluemail, Aquamail and still nothing.

Ive tried many fixes none work.You might try something and think it works but after x amount of time you stop getting notifications again.
Have a look here different phone but same problem and try some of the fixes,one may work for you.

Personally i dont trust the phone anymore to deliver messages so im looking to a Xiaomi Mi5.
Ive downloaded the Inbox app that has restored notifications.... or i thought it did FFS.
Apparently the Nexus 6P suffers this bug too.

I tried the inbox app but that didn;t work, I have tried some of the most popular email apps too and nothing, regardless of what I've tried.
If I restore my phone back to Lollipop will notifications return again?

Dont know mate i cant remember if i had the problem with lollipop.
To be honest the only difference i see in Marshmallow is this bug.

I'll post back if it works as if its a Marshmellow issue only I'll upgrade when they fix it

With the 2nd update back to B200 i couldnt get the 3 button method to work so used the
Tap in dialer:
*#*#2846579#*#*
That worked and im back on B200 Lollpop 5.01
cool, thank you for that as I was still looking for a way back to lollipop
Interesting if Nexus 6p has it as that huawei built, assume they doing something off with standby app handling in kernel & it should of been resolved many devices ago.
Unsolved ssues like this is killing huawei's sales & brand image.
If devices had been more popular in rom development all these flaws would of been fixed by the unofficial rom & kernel masters lol
