[Q] Gmail not searching after touchnooting - Nook Touch Themes and Apps

Hello. I can't get gmail to do search on my nook. Tried to replace the gmail app with another version but the thing won't let me - I can't install the new version and I can't overwrite the file or delete the old one, even with TotalCommander with su permissions. Is there any way to replace the gmail app supplied with the touchnooter? I'm using 1.0.1. Thanks.

[Q] Sending Blank emails when replying

I upgraded to the leaked OS 2.2 Froyo and now I am getting the below issue when I reply to emails. Doesn't happen to EVERY email but several to cause me issues at work.
I am using Exchange only.
I reply to an email and it is recieved but all text I typed is missing and it actually looks as if I forwarded the email back to the sender.
I saw on another forum some other were experiencing this issue but none had a clue how to resolve it.
Anyone know how to fix this? Others seeing this?
Any help would be appreciated!!
???
Is no one else having this issue? Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve it? Do I need to wipe the deivce?
I've had this issue as well when using my exchange.

I had the same issue with email after cognition2.2BETA5.5. It seems that designgears had installed the AOSP email app but removed it in later versions due to too many complaints. I find that the AOSP app is much better then then TW Email apk. I performed the steps below to install the AOSP Email.apk. Replies work everytime without issue.
1.) Get the Email AOSP app from a different rom or make a request and I will happily provide a link to download the apk.
2.) Connect your phone to the computer and move the Email.apk to the root of your sdcard.
3.) Backup your current Email.apk with Titanium or manually copy it to another location on your phone.
NOTE: You may need to backup your phone settings so you can restore your launcher after clearing cache in the final step to avoid having to replace all of your home screen icons.
4.) Using Root Explorer or Astro, copy the Email.apk copied to your sdcard into the folder /system/app/ to replace the current app.
5.) Return to the home screen. At this point you should no longer see an email icon on your dock.
6.) Go to Applications->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications
7.) Clear the cache on the TWLauncher Application.
8.) Return to the home screen and you should now see the email icon has returned to the dock.
9.) Restore TWLauncher settings with Titanium to restore home screen icons that were removed in the cache.
Please let me know if you need the email.apk from cognition2.2beta5.5
Aosp email.API link request
Is there a copy of the email.API that doesn't have the blank reply issue yet has all the features of cognition latest release?
I have attached a working Email apk to this post. Down load it and follow the steps in the post above to resolve the blank email reply issue. Let me know if you have any issues.
I followed the instructions, however, I did not have a backup of twlauncher, so now I don't have an email icon on my home bar
So put the icon back on your launch bar. It is configurable. (doing this from memory, so i may miss a step). Go to your list of apps -> menu -> edit and you can configure 3 of the 4 icons on the touchwiz launcer (you can't get rid of the apps shortcut).

Alright, hopefully you all are still willing to help somebody else out on this issue, as I am in the same boat as gibgib3. I have followed the steps above using the attached email.apk from f13nd0.
The issue I get is that launching email cause an immediate crash of the application, as well as attempting to add a new "Corporate" email account.
I am not an Android development power user myself, although I've used adb in the past sparingly. I really just am clinging to the leaked Froyo build from October, and just want working email (TouchDown is crazy slow and expensive) until Samsung finally pushes out an official Froyo build.
Any ideas here?
Flash a new ROM that has the email bugs fixed.
From the interwebs via fast thumbs and a faster phone.

That is the "nuclear option" that I'd like to avoid. While I have everything backed up with titanium, I already am planning to flash back to stock when the official update comes out, so I'm looking to minimize the necessity to flash a ROM again.
I'm hoping that there is some "tried and true" way to swap out my email.apk with a working version, as the previous steps just result in a "Force Close" whenever I try and run it.
So the solution here, for anybody having this issue, is to remove the existing email.odex file from the /system/app directory, which was associated with the original Samsung email app.
All systems go here.
How do you remove the email.odex file? As it is in the system folder, the file permission is ready only and I cannot delete it. Is there a util in the market that you can download to change file permissions?
Root Explorer did the trick for me.

Does the phone needs to be rooted (my phone has the leaked froyo but do not think it is rooted) for the root explorer to be able to change the permission?
I download other free utils that has access to the file but cannot change the permission in order to delete it.
Yes, it does.

Rooting is the key to doing all "magic" stuff like this. What good is a wizard (user) without his magic wand (root access) to work on any magic (his captivate)?

Okay, I finally learn how to root the phone and was finally able to remove the existing email.odex file. Now I don't have the email icon anymore. I must assume you have replaced this email.odex file as well as the apk file??? I tried clearing the cache and everything on the twlauncher and it's a no go.

[Q] Duplicate Provider Authority

Rooted 1.0.1 BN with AutoNooter 2.12.25 installed.
I changed "ro.build.version.sdk" 8 thinking it would let me install Market 2.2.7. M2.2.7 works great. I tried to update my GMail 1.3 to the latest in GMail on Market. Got the Duplicate Provider Authority error. I did back up the GMail 1.3 with Titanium but know it won't restore.
So: I have no GMail at all now; and cannot find a GMail 2.X for eclair in english (several chinese ones outthere).
Any ideas?
Hi there. I was having the same issue. What i did was
1. Download the signed Gapps.zip from here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642189 its in the second post.
2. Use Root Explorer. Went into system/app and deleted Gmail.apk and GmailProvider.apk
3. Now from the zip file you downloaded. Extract the Gmail.apk and GmailProvider.apk. Using root explorer. Copy those files into system/app
4. Reboot your nook and you should have Gmail again.
Make sure you back everything up as always.
It worked for me. Hope it works for you as well.

Getting rid of password on the default galaxy mail app?

I just set up an exchange account on the default galaxy mail app. However, it would not let see my mail until I added a password. Now every time i wake the phone from sleep i have to put in a password. How do i get rid of this while still being able to access my mail.
Thanks
I'm not sure what you've exactly done but, why you don't deactivate or delete the exchange account and only use the normal account from the email app?
Or explain a bit more what's the prob except the password requestions...
whoever is running your exchange system has made a password mandatory.
You can't access email via activesync (exchange) without having that password.
hi rocketpaul,
you can use Insanity hacked email app..so you will not get password policy...
if you are will to use your custom ROM,move email.apk to system\app\ and flash. else with rooted account you can replace email application.

Sorry my fold, I didn't read exactly
It's a system aplication which replace the original, so you've to replace it!
1) First download a file Manager (f.ex. Root Explorer)
2) Find the downloaded file under "internel sd"
3) Go back and Choose "System" and then "App"
4) Here you put it in and say yes for the confirm to replace
PS: If it doesn't allow to replace a file you've to change the system
-> at top off the app you can change from r/o to f/w

[REQ] new Google News and Weather app (GenieWidget.APK)

Hi guys, Im trying to get the Google News and Weather app (GenieWidget.APK) from Nexus S, or other newer version, running. I have an older version that does not auto update, so it kinda sucks.
The new version is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13473045
Ive tried dropping both the APK and/or ODEX file via file manager, also rebooting, but the files are not there afterwards. Im rooted and using FileExpert app, which is granted superuser Im told via toast message.
Also tried direct install of the APK, but again no go --> 'Application not installed' error.
Im running the Mosiac III ROM.
Searches have not helped so Id appreciate some help!
You might wan't to try Root Explorer from the market. Its what I used to install the genie widget. It is pretty easy to use. All you have to do is copy it into your system/app folder and there you have it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
but do i need to delete the old one? Is necessary to change the permissions of the new apk? If yes how?
If the installation is failing you are going to need to adb push the application to your system/app/ folder and then it should work... I am also looking for the new geniewidget.apk (sorry for bumping an old thread).

[Q] GMail apk 2.3.5 crashes?

Hi,
I'm still running GMail 2.3.2 since I can't update it. Market says it is incompatible with my device (SGS+CM7#71) and when I try to install manually from g235.apk file it refuses to work. Why?
SOLVED: un-install old GMail app, reboot, install new one (black-themed to that!).
PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD.
