[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] Swap Messaging Apps between ROMs

Hi All,
I'm on the AT&T Captivate and have an issue with some of the ROMs that are out here. I am currently running the Cognition B9.1.2 ROM and LOVE it! My issue is that I am in Canada on the Rogers network and have found that certain messaging apps record incorrectly the received time of incoming SMS messages. There are tools in the Market to sort of fix this but I have found that some ROMs (Thinking of the "Tayutama's JPM Froyo w/Xcaliburinhand's Re-oriented Kernel - 10/28/2010" as an example where this error does not occur. I was looking at modifying the messaging app between those ROMs but was unsure how to do that.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

The text message time issue is not due to the Cognition ROM, it's because of how Rogers/FIDO do a timestamp adjustment in addition to your phone doing a timestamp adjustment.
You can either have your timezone changed, or download SMS time fix from the market.
Had the same problem myself!
Cheers,

Straight from the Cognition thread, search can be you friend.

Below are the steps I used to restore the AOSP Email app. designgears had added the AOSP Email client to earlier ROMS but reverted to the TW Email app because of too many complaints. I found that the AOSP Email app is much more reliable than the TW. You should be able to perform similar steps to install a different messaging apk. Let me know if this helps at all. I altered the instructions to the mms.apk instead of the Email.apk that I replaced.
1.) Find the messaging .apk file from the rom of your choice. Usually in /system/app/ folder.
2.) Connect your phone to the computer and move the mms.apk file you retrieved from the other rom to the root of your sdcard.
3.) Backup your current mms.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 mms.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 a messaging icon on your dock.

Would this also work if I wanted to replace the stock sms/mms messaging app on the latest cognition rom and replace it with something like Handcent, Chomp or Shady?

[Q] Fixing the "process.com.google.process.gapp" error message

After TRYING all kinds of suggestions, none of which work, I found one that says:
- copy all google talk service and google talk app to system/app folder
- Grant all possible privilages to them
- Restart the phone.
In what folder is google talk service and google talk app located?
How do you grant them "all privledges'?
Seems to me the last time I attempted to CUT AND PASTE a file to the system/app folder, it wouldn't let me.
This message has come up EVEN AFTER I have installed numerous ROMs.
I appreciate any help!

Did you flash stock in between flashes?. To move a file rlto system/app use adb or super manager
If I have helped press thanks.

Clean install of ROMs
Every time I flash, I go back to stock and do a Master Clear, so my flashes are clean. I use Titanium BU Pro to reinstall apps, BUT do NOT restore system data, just app data.
I'm thinking that the problem MIGHT be related to the syncing of my calendar with the google calendar I have online. Triied doing the data clear, etc....
Like I said, I've tried everything except what I posted in my first post. Problem is, I don't know where the files are located so that I can transfer them to the system folder. This seems like the only other "solution" I haven't tried at this point.
Hate to do it, but I'm thinking about going back to stock 2.2 and see if that makes a difference.

Issues with calendar in gingerbread

Hello,
Since upgrading to Gingerbread I've been dealing with lots of issues regarding calendar. I'm using few calendars in google (private, public holidays, etc.) but when I setup the calendar synchronization I can see only my private calendar and the phone default (My Calendar). I've been reading that a lot of people have this issue so I decided to dig a little bit deeper. Finally I found a solution!
If you have a problem with displaying multiple google calendars in your phone follow this procedure:
Prerequisities:
* rooted phone (you'll need to access system file)
* SQLite Editor
Steps:
1. Make a backup of calendar data (just in case you'll need it in the future).
2. Go to Settings->Application-Manage Apllications.
3. Find following apps and delete their data: Calendar, Calendar Storage, Calendar Synchronization (or similar name).
4. Reboot your phone (not required, but flushing memory is not a bad thing)
5. Go to Settings->Accounts and Synchronization and synchronize your google calendar.
6. Open /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar.db with SQLite Editor or any other program that can edit SQLite data.
In fact you may use this procedure (as SQL Lite Editor is not free):

I used aSQLiteManager, but had first to copy calendar.db to the sdcard, modify it and the copy it back to its original position (for copying I used Super Manager).

7. Open Calendars table.
8. If everything is OK you should see a list of google calendars you have. To enable missing calendars edit columns selected and sync_events. Put 1 to enable synchronization and display.
9. Save changes to the database.
10. Go to Settings->Accounts and Synchronization and synchronize your google calendar.
Now you should see list of all your google calendars and you can add events to different calendars.

Thank you for sharing, I am having the same problem.
I have opened
Code:
/dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar.db
using SQLite explorer but the file looks empty, it shows only "null".

Try to synchronize first your main google calendar. It will create all necessary tables.

I did that, it did synchronize the calendars, I could see the events. I rebooted, used the "Sync Now" function but still nothing. Maybe it's the app SQLite explorer which is not working. Unfortunately I could not find any other alternative, SQLite Editor is not free

I haven't had a single issue using cm7 or regular AOSP when it comes to the calendar. What issues are you having?

I have been using CM7 for some time and I confirm I did not have any problem with Calendars when using it.
The problem appears on the stock rom (both on JVP and JVQ) and is the same skibbi_pl reported on the first message of this post: some calendars do not sync. I have 12 calendars on my Google Account online, but only 3 show up in Settings / Calendars.

Ok, I solved it: the problem was the SQLite explorer app which doesn't work.
I used aSQLiteManager, but had first to copy calendar.db to the sdcard, modify it and the copy it back to its original position (for copying I used Super Manager).
After reboot all Calendars appeared correctly. Thanks again!
The final question is: why does this happen on the stock rom and on Cyanogen not?

Ask Samsung developers It seems like they forgot to add some UI controls for enabling additional calendars.

My sync-problem is that, after I flashed at the end of july to DarkyRom v10, the birthdays of my Google-contacts and National Holidays only appear for 1 year ahead (so till 25 july 2012).
aSQLiteManager says in the column selected and sync_events all 1.
What can be the problem?

x10 2.3.3 calendar issue
Hi, I didn't find any other threads, more similar to my problem. i have an x10 upgraded to gingerbread, since then I can't create any new events. I get an error message: "No Calendar. No calendars available." I searched google to find any references, with very few results. I cleared the calendar cache with no luck. I tried installing several calendar apps, which are supposed to be working separately from the stock app, but I got the same error message when trying to create a new event.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Jocks

Just did this today.
Been pulling my hair out over this calendar problem for the last few days. This method works perfectly on my SPH-D710.

I know this is an old thread but wanted to thank the OP for this solution. I ran into the calendars problem and this method worked perfectly. I used a program called SQLite Database Browser (Windows 7) to edit calendars.db, which I downloaded from sourceforge.net for free. Thank you!
Also, to share the db file I first had to change the permissions from rw- rw- --- to rwx rwx rwx. That allowed me to gmail the file to myself or upload to google drive. After editing it, I had to go through my external sdcard to copy it on there and then copy it over using ES file explore to the appropriate directory. I reset permissions to rw- rw- --- just to make sure (no idea if that was necessary).

[Q] Stock google calendar possible?

After using psouza4 safe bloat removal script my Google Calendar is no longer available. I did notice the script warned me the calendar widgit would no longer work, but not the entire calender... now my question.. is it possible to get the stock Google Calendar to work from the Cyanogenmod Gapps.zip?? I am familar with ADB, but I'm no way good enough to figure out how or what to push to make it work..

All you need to do is go back and rename the original files. The script did not remove them, it just renamed them so they would not load.
So, use something like "root explorer". Navigate to "system/app" folder. Scroll down and find the calander files and rename them. All you have to do is remove the ".bak" from them. There are a couple files with calander in the name. (I am not sure exactly with one to rename. I renamed all of the calander files and it works fine).
Re-boot, and it will be back working.
Enjoy

I have done that and the Blur calendar works fine, but I would like to use the plane stock calendar.
