Hi,
I flashed my phone to a Custom ROM (GingerDX v029) and realised that it doesn't has the native email client. Can anyone please hook me up to a good email client where I can configure my office email account to? Free obviously.
Thanks!
If you have zip of any other rom then get the native email from it.
Open the zip
go to /system/app and extract email.apk from there.
Hey, thanks! Did that.
But right now, I can't set up the mail.
What happens when you try to do it??
I have entered all the details correctly. It then starts checking the incoming settings and prompts with the message "Unable to open connection to server". I have tried this on 2-3 other email client apps as well. Same error.
Could it be because of the root access by any chance?
No.. thats not because of root,,
install gmail from play store and check whether the problem exists..

I already have gmail and its running properly. There is no problem in that.
Right now I am trying to set up my Exchange Account in my phone and not able to do that.
hmm...
clear the apps data and cache.
now reboot and see..

Wait. I will try that.
Same error.
The thing to note is that my friend is using the same settings, and in his phone, he has configured the mail account successfully.
hmmm....
give me a little time..
Hmmm.. okay
Anyone?
So I searched around a little bit, and this what I got:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9426
Apparently, when you flash you phone, you lose the security credentials of the phone which come attached to it by the manufacturer. Hence, you can connect to the public email ids and domains, but not to the secure ones.
This is what the problem which I think I am facing as of now. If anyone can help me install the security certificates again in the device, please do.
Maybe the only solution is reverting to stock by SEUS.

Just a quick question because I can't remember lol...
During the setup screen after a fresh wipe does it have the skip button? My service is out and I wanted to wipe the data and start over, but if Im not able to access my data the wipe isnt necessary...
Thanks in advance to the person who gives the answer
All CM builds I've flashed had that function. It's a rooted ROM so you can use ADB (to open the settings app and connect to wifi) even if it doesn't.
OK another question how do I get back after setting up wifi and whatnot if I push the skip to finish the registration?
get back where???

on the cm updater i get a force close when tryin to add a new them server to scan a barcode..
anyone else??
ever since i updated to 4.2.1
have any of u guys found out what format the music apps video player supports?
Okay I was bored and after hearing about the facebook app only allowing specific devices to use sync I came up with this.
I basically just used apktool by Brut.all to change a few strings, simples!
You will need to have an Eclair ROM, uninstall facebook if you already have it then just install this like normal and sign in with facebook or add it in accounts to sync.
You can get it here, here or here.
Now go play with your phones and be happy
I must have missed this before but apparently you can achieve the same thing by editing your build.prop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6399791&postcount=3183.
Just a little note but not really relevant, this mod won't work with the sapphire.
UPDATE:
bugmenever said:
Inspired by your edits here, I'm trying to do get FB Sync working with the Samsung Moment. Rather than changing the product names as you did, I just changed the entire getAllowedPackages so it always returns FULL_ALLOWED_PACKAGES. However, it appears to only sync phone numbers and emails. I don't own a G1 so I can't test your version, does your version properly sync profile images and statuses?
Click to expand...

I've taken bugmenever's method and it does seem to work. The difference with this one is that instead of replacing some strings which removed support for sapphire so it could work with the dream, is this always returns FULL_ALLOWED_PACKAGES which should in theory let it work with anything capable of running eclair. I only have a dream so I can't test it on anything else but if anyone else could test it that would be great.
Here is the link http://www.4shared.com/file/kdb7ZvEy/_2__signed-facebook.html
No feedback ?
Is it working? Anyone having any problem? Maby a thanks ?
Well I think this should be posted in the app section, for one....
But yes it works, although you have to open the app after setting up the sync for the sync to actually work.

Thanks for the reply, I was in two minds weather or not this was the right section for it and I choose this one as it's a mod as-well as assuming people would look for something like this here. But if it doesn't belong here then feel free to move it .
Thanks, good work.
thanks i was missing this
Your welcome guys, and thanks to who ever moved it to the apps section
I put it on the root of my SD card and tried to install it with Astro and it interrupts the installation and says "Application cannot be installed".....
If someone could help me with this it would be GREAT!

If you have facebook installed from the market you need to uninstall that first, if it doesn't work after that then try installing with adb.
ADB said failure to install app
i wasn't able to install through astro or terminal.
First check the MD5
Code:
d76da20c1c5a49152bf309630b6841f3
to see if your download is corrupt, if that's not it then post the output of logcat and what ROM you are using as it won't work with some ROMs(zachattack052 & xillius200's HERO).
Couldn't get it to work on Cyanogen's latest Donut either. Same error as others, saying "Application could not be installed." I had previously uninstalled the Market Facebook app so don't know what the problem could be. Thanks for trying, though!

This is only meant for Eclair ROMs to provide account synchronisation, if your on Donut then you may aswell use Facebook from the market
Thanks so much. This works great
Tried this on CM5 (test5), md5sum produced the same md5 hash, and I get "Application not installed" as well.
Not sure what the issue is. What did you change in the apk to allow it to work on the Dream/G1s? Perhaps a specific radio or firmware setting is interfering.
yes please Im using cm test 5 and I get the same error. I would love to use this
Use Firerat's fb patch instead on the Market 1.2, it works much better: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679572

It's basically the same as Firerat's method but instead of changing the build.prop I changed the strings in the app. Other than that it's the same as the one on the market. Not sure why it wont work for you though, I've tried it after installing other ROMs and it always works.

I guess I still can't post in the developer thread, so I hope it is ok here.
I noticed or missed it, but I can't find the Corporate Option under the Account and sync settings. I need to set up an Exchange connection, where with Assonance and other 2.2 versions,( I know Captivate stock is 2.1), you just select add account and 1 option is Corporate. Am I missing it, or was it pulled out or is that something that could even be in it.
Thanks for all your help.

That is what I did, but it isn't there. You see Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, then under more accounts Google. There isn't Corporate or Exchange
use chance's kitchen and get the samsung email app and flash it.

Hi, I'm new to the forum and fairly new to flashing phones, although I fix computers so I was a quick learner.
Anyway, I have recently flashed my Galaxy Mini with the cyanogen mod I found in the galaxy mini developers sub-forum on this very site and come across a number of problems. Some of these I have fixed using my own best judgement and others, however I'm still having trouble "cleaning" the functionality issues.
For the record can I just say, I love the mod and my thanks and congratulations go out to all the devs involved. Well done!
So, my issues so far...
wifi issues - sometimes hangs on the obtaining ip address part
Android Market - installed both old and new versions (including the download link on the cm 7 thread) - installs fine then asks to create new account, I click ok and it closes the app
Creating sync accounts in settings - gmail, hotmail etc will not add (error: Setup could not finish. Unable to open connection to server
Downloading from internet - I have constantly been clearing the data and cache of the download app and browser and after a couple more downloads I have to repeat these steps. Anybody know a permanent fix for this?
Email: also not completing user accounts registration
I have searched and searched both this site and others for solutions to no avail. I love this mod and am very impressed with the tools included and my one wish is to be able to use it to the best of its ability. When I installed the update from sd card, my installed apps were also deleted (from the sd card), which I found strange, but thought hey, no problem if I can just download them from the market again right? But obviously since I cant run the market app, here lies my problem.
I hope there is a solution to this problem that doesn't involve reflashing my phone. I would be saddened to have to give up on this mod as I love nothing better than to get the most out of my phone.
Also just to clarify, I followed every step detailed in the CM 7 thread exactly as outlined and the flashing process was a pass for the cwm and the update completed successfully for the CM 7. I also cleared all data and wiped cache partition before and after each step as outlined.
Thanks for any comments/suggestions and I look forward to joining you on the forum.

No idea about wifi - not used it.
For market crashing, try this:-
Settings > applications > all > Market. Try clearing data from this.
You ought not have to create new account for everything. Creating /adding a single gmail account will work for email and market and address / contacts, google+, maps, etc.
Having to clear browser cache / data - I do not "download" much, but browse a lot - including the picture / video rich sites. Have not much problem, though occassional clearing cache / restarting the browser does help speeding up page loading. Probably has to do with low device memory. Did use other third party browser - like dolphon (opera is the reason I moved away from Nokia), but am back to stock html viewer now.

Thanks for your input. I managed to set-up gmail under the email app but it wouldn't accept my hotmail account (it used to before the mod)
I have lots of free memory on both the device memory and sd card. I also have plenty free ram. My phone runs like a dream now to be honest.
I have just tried an apparent workaround by installing youtube on the phone, however although I can use it no problem, when I try to add an account I get this - Unable to authenticate user (before it even asks me to input my information!)
This really sucks =(
I can't sync or download anything through market.
Also, I have cleared the data and cache several times to no permanent avail, as I mentioned in first post.

Wifi -issue...i have this sometimes.But even in official 2.2.1.And this issue is when reconnect at same brodband or at remebered wifi networks.I solve this issue sample.
-Turn of your phone Wifi,disconnect your brodband from power energy,wait 10 seconds,plug in againr brodband,wait him to load ~1-2 minuts,after reboot your phone turn on again wifi and manual connect to wifi.After auto-reconnect will work a wile with no issues.
For other sync email and contacts you need to isntall googleapps.zip via CWM at first run setup your Gmail acount.After no issue with others.
Also you need to make a correct install of CM and googleapps.zip.
1.)Install official 2.3.4 KPI using tools from samfirmwares.
2.)After install CWM using ODIN like in tj's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167750
3.)Install CyanogenMod via CWM
4.)Boot up your phone and disconnect from 3g network and connect to wifi
5.)Reboot phone in recovery and flash googleapps.zip via CWM.
6.)Boot your phone and setup gmail acount.
7.)add your acounts and sync.
If you make this you shall not have any kind of issues with acounts sync ,only sometimes with wifi.

Hi, thanks for your suggestions - I've been waiting all day for a solution like this. I already have cwm installed as I said in first post. I will try reflashing as a last resort.
However, I am trying your theory on installing the google apps zip file through cwm now and will let you know how it pans out. Thanks!
Damn. Always something goes wrong! Log from cwm ; Finding Update package>Opening update package>verifying update package>E:signature verification failed>Installation aborted. Grrrrr
Previous installations have been fine through the choose zip from sd card. However, on attempting another zip (flash 10.2) also doesn't verify either (worked before)
Whats going on?? I'm at my wits end =P

You can toggle "signature verification" in CWM recovery menu. (Not sure where exactly that option is - but recovery menu is not too deep.

All, I am using CM7 for Galaxy Mini 09102011 and I have ony one problem:
Somehow the MAC address of the Wifi device in the phone is changing every time I disable and re-enable Wifi connection. This was a problem, since because of that I had to disable MAC address filtering in my home network just to prevent myself always setting the new MAC address in my router's MAC filtering "white list".
What I observed that the changing part of the MAC address is always the 2nd half (meaning the last 3 pair of hex numbers)!
Does someone know a fix how to prevent Wifi MAC changing?
Some people say that the don't have this experience with the previous release of CM7 for Galaxy Mini (01102011).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

I haven't noticed this kind of problem before with CM7 personally and I wish I had a fix for you. Perhaps it may be better to back up and try a reflash? Assuming you haven't already tried that of course!
Sorry I don't have any other methods but I noticed nobody is replying to your question!

Yes, this problem is not there in CM7 01102011. You can try flashing it after a nandroid backup. I had similar problem with latest (09 10) CM7 so I restored my previous backup and everything is fine now...
Hello Dev / Members,
I Flashed a ROM (Xperia_Z ROM for Note N7000 by AmniX). It doesn't have stock Email.apk in it. I tried to push "secemail.apk" in /system/app and set the permission to rw--r--r, apk is getting installed, also showing the Email icon. But after putting my email ID and passwords, it shows only one message "Trying to communicate with Server" and keeps on showing until I click cancel. I waited for more than an hour (Seriously more than an hour). In parallel other email clients are working but those are free and having some limitations.
My Question is, After installing Email.apk, is there any other file (probably which I'm missing) which sync with the servers ??? May be that file is missing in that ROM. I know its not a problem with ROM, as other free email clients are working.
Please Help.
Thanks

u mean SecEmail.apk n SecExchange.apk ？make sure u put to the right place SecExchange.apk is in system/app n SecEmail.apk is in preload system if u using deodex rom.
Just Place both files on preload/symlnk/system/app/<here> and write permission as rw-r-r with any root explorer. Now reboot and cheak.
