stock email app - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I currently have tnt lite and I'd like to have the stock email app. Why? It worked pretty well in the wife factor department. It allowed us to share the tablet. With the tnt rom, all my Gmail data is imported, including contacts. I don't want that. Does anyone share their tablet and find an alternative? I found droidpirate's site, but his is an old version of tnt.
I guess another option is a rom that's not phone based. Suggestions?
Thanks,
TJ

Before you move to a new rom, copy the stock Email.apk from /system/app to your sdcard. Then you update copy it back to /systema/app. It's not enough to install the app, it has to be there ro the system reverts back.

maybe this will help. In any case the OP is from april 6th.......

[Q] + [REQ] Stock Memo app

I recently updated my wife's phone and lost the memo app. I thought nothing of it, because I do not use it myself, but she is pretty disappointed about it being gone.
So, first my question - will the stock fascinate Memo app run on EB01?
and second my request - could someone hook me with a link to DL it? I have looked and looked to no avail. I have found the backup of it in Titanium Backup, but Restore is not an option (prompting the question of whether it can run in EB01), and I would really like to get it back for her.
I did find this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930430 but the link is dead... Likewise, I thought to use Rom Manager, however I have read that it is not compatible with the new CWM, and if I open it, it tell me I need to flash CWM, which I don;t think I should do on EB01 SC2.4V... Really at a loss on this.
Any assist is greatly appreciated.
nobody? nothing?
Did u try just extracting the apk and using root explorer and just dropping it into system/app folder and rebooting? I find this will work for most apps that wont install directly or through cwm.
Edit. Here is a link. Hope it helps.

I guess I am confused on that line - I have seen that recommendation for other apps and issues, but I do not know where to find the apk - that is where my issue really lies...
TB does show it listed, just no restore option, and I am unable to locate the apk anywhere - market or web (so far)
I do appreciate the look...

exactly what I have been searching for - thank you so very much.
<ETA> how come you rock so hard? That was exactly the fix I was looking for and we are back to happy land. I sincerely appreciate the assist.
No problem

My wife is the same way..she wanted the stock note app. But I finally convinced her to switch to color note because you can't restore the notes..so even if you get the app back..every time there is an update she will lose her notes.

backup samsung memo database
this might be too little or too late for some of you but maybe not for others ..
I found the samsung fascinate memo stores everything in ...
/dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.memo/memo.db
if you have root access, you can copy this file to sdcard or through other method.
you can then restore it after you reimage (I assume you can) I haven't tried it yet. again I assume you need root to restore it ...
also - it is a SQLite database - so you can use "SQLite Database Browser by tabuleiro" on your PC to see all the notes. it's available on sourceforge.
click on second tab "Browse Data" - then choose table called "memo" and you will see all the memos show up in a table. double click each one and you can export, or just copy/paste.
probably a moderately skilled SQL admin can get all the data extracted with a few queries.
I was thinking of attempting to create an app that would back it up and restore or export. perhaps it could work with any db on the device.

[Q] Stock Froyo (318) Gallery

Hi everyone!
I have installed Gallery 3D in the past and i seem to have completely erased the stock Gallery app using Root Explorer.
The problem is, i have just purchased the official home dock and i think i need to revert to the original Dell gallery.
Can someone please help me on this one?
Could you provide the required .apk or is it more complicated than that?
If everything fails, should i reflash the stock ROM?
If so, all i have to do is download the .pkg, rename it to update.pkg and update from SD Card?
Thank you very much in advance!
Strange, since they should be the same app as it's made by the same person. From what I know google bundled gallery3d as their official app for froyo.
Whichever it is here's a copy of 318's gallery3d, if you reflash by using the pkg remember it erases all your data so remember to back it up first!
(On stock 318 it's odexed, so remove the apk on the end of the odex file and copy both to system/app, it wont work if either is missing, forum wont let me upload it with that extension)
Thank you
Thank you sir for the prompt reply!
Think is, i am looking for the original stock 318 froyo gallery, not the 3D one, since the 3D one is not working with the HDMI dock. I think, that is.
Maybe i will try to install what you gave me first.

[Q] Another Stupid Noob Needs Help

Guys, I've been kicking around this site for many years, most often in the guise of a windows mobile user. I'm fairly adept with Linux, but have only recently (my 2nd handset) entered the exciting world of Android.
I'm running an MTK6573-based Chinese Dual-Sim 3G job (T8585, HD9+, whatever you may want to call it) running Android 2.3.4.
In my haste to unburden it of all the Chinese apps and junk that's loaded into /system/app by default, I accidentally removed SnsContentProvider.apk
With this missing, the contacts app doesn't work (crashes acore).
Of course, I didn't keep a backup of the original ROM, because I'm a smart-arse who knows what he's doing...
I've asked the vendor/manufacturer to send me another copy of the file (actually, the whole /system/app directory). If this isn't forthcoming, is there any way to use the file from another ROM?
I've tried copying the file across from another 6573-based phone (same version of Android) and resetting the owner/permissions, but there's obviously something else (digital signature?) stopping it from loading.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
What you can do is to flash a stock rom.

I should have said that re-flashing a stock ROM is not currently an option. The handset is a new model, and the manufacturer hasn't released anything for it. They've offered to re-flash it if I send it back to China, but I'm not keen on that option.
Thanks for the reply.
try mine
hi, i have hd2 pro 3g, i download for you mine, i hope it works.

[Q] dialer/contacts screwed up in ICS?

I remember the dialer before i upgraded to ICS had a tab at the top for contacts, i could click that and find the contact i wanted, hell i could even send a SMS from there by swyping the contact name to the side...
The new dialer for ICS has contacts listed under the menu button, meaning its one more keypress to get there. It just doesnt "flow" as well, if that makes sense.
Im wondering, has anyone else noticed this? how can i get back the old dialer? Are there any good tweaked ICS roms that have this (and other) improvements? Im sorry but search didnt come up with anything and this place is crazy (two android development sections!?!) i couldnt find anything when i searched that met what im looking for.
Im currently running XXLPQ stock
hey there, i am using resurrection remix 1.4 w/ siyahkernel3.1rc6, and the dialler app for ics has contacts at the top of the dialler if thats what your looking for? its got 3 tabs, dialler, recent calls, contacts
That's exactly what inn looking for, any chance you can post the dialer apk for me?
i will do a titanium backup and see if i can get hold of my apk
EDIT: the two files i attached, put it in sd card, titanium backup... i THINK this will work, i would to a nandroid backup just to be sure, then try restoring the apps (search for phone in titanium)
pm me if i dnt reply to this thread
No go on the titanium backup, didn't wanna show up in my list, i cleared my titanium folder so there was nothing else, put the files in, restarted, start TB, no backups found for the dialer.
Try using root explorer and finding your dialer apk and post that? I can manually replace the file
thats the thing its not called dialler lol, its called phone, and seems to be fragmented into two parts =S lol let me see if i can find someting else
EDIT: try un g zipping the file so it shows an APK file and try pushing it to the system maybe? or installing it
EDIT 2: i managed to extract these apk's from the resurrection remix rom:
contacts, contactsprovider, phone, phonesky
hope it helps
Perhaps both Phone.apk (and .odex if applicable) and Contacts.apk (and .odex if applicable)?
my bad let me find .odex
EDIT: cant find .odex but try push the above found in system (on the rom.zip)

You don't have Phone.odex and Contacts.odex? That means YOU'RE on a deodexed ROM... But IF the other guy who is requesting the files is on an odexed ROM, he will have an extra step of removing the applicable .odex files. But he may already know that. (and it's always recommended to back anything up that you may end up needing again if you remove it)

I had that problem with "Resurrection rom 1.1" and believe me you better re-flash the ROM than s***ing with .apk-s... Didn't work for me so if you don't want to flash again you may use exDialer from the market, it's a good app, has the "swipe" functions and ICS themes, I used it for a week before switching to RR 1.4.
Ya def need one with an odex file...

No... you don't.
Back up the .apk file you intend to replace, along with their corresponding .odex file. Then REMOVE the .odex file and replace the .apk.
For example, if he gives you Phone.apk, and you have Phone.apk and Phone.odex, then COPY your original copies of Phone.apk and Phone.odex to a safe place, then delete Phone.odex, and replace your existing Phone.apk.
I've done this before, and used a deodexed Phone app on my odexed firmware.
Tried that but it didn't seem to work, after restart i lost service and couldn't dual out and had several other services complain on me, perhaps it's not comparable with my system?

If his version of Android is different than yours, then his apps probably wouldn't work for you.
Going back to read the thread, he said he is on Resurrection Remix 1.4. Looking at the thread for that ROM, it is AOKP based, with elements from CM9. What firmware are you on? You said you're on ICS, but you never mention specifically what ROM. Are you on stock? Then yeah, his apps probably won't work for you.
damn a shame it wouldnt work, try out go dialler tho if you want quick contacts access, from the dialler you just have to swipe to change to contacts... i used to use it but the themes arent as good as the ones we have lol
That would explain it I'm running LPQ stock...

I've not seen any mods for stock ICS to have this. A quick google search also turns up nothing for stock ICS.
So if you absolutely want this in ICS, you will need to flash a custom ROM.
EDIT to add: I should rephrase; you also have the option of using a third party dialer that has contacts integrated. But if you want to have the dialer that is included in the ICS ROM to have the contacts tab, you'll need to flash a custom ROM.

I would be fine with a custom rom based off one of the samsung sources but i dont frequent this side very often (usually on the asus transformer forum) to know which are good and which to avoid. Any suggestions?

Any solution without using a custom ROM ?

[Q] Optimus Zip no MMS

Hello, first time poster, but i've been a reader for quite a while here.
My problem is one that I have seen before, but links are expired... I have no MMS on my Zip from Straight Talk. From the forums, I deem the problem to be that I deleted the stock messaging app, which is APK for that is impossible to find on the web, I tried.
Would someone be able to upload the stock app, and kinda walk me through the permissions to getting my MMS back? I'm running Android version 2.3.4 if that helps.
I really appreciate it.
*update* I did get what I believe to be the correct MMS.apk into the system/apps folder, and I believe the permissions are correct, but it still will not let me install...
