Okay, so I'm trying to do the reverse of most sane people. The Exchange ActiveSync settings for my office work with the older Froyo 2.2.1 Email.apk that comes in stock Touchwiz roms.
However it does not function with AOSP, and I dislike Touchdown but that does work, so I'm not completely screwed.
So I'm really just looking to see if someone can tell me ahead of time if it would be a waste of time or not.
Is it even possible to port that touchwiz 2.2 based email.apk to function on AOSP 2.3?
If not I'll continue with my chore of hacking up the Email.apk from CM7. I have tried the many "broken" aosp ones, but it still returns tthe same issue with unsupported Security Features.
I believe the TouchWiz apps rely on the TouchWiz framework, but I could be wrong.
Either way, if your office uses Exchange 2003 or 2007, not 2010 (and I would guess they do have an out-of-date setup if it won't work with the AOSP client) you could try K-9 Mail, an extremely popular open-source app.

Since the Native android calendar app and service doesn't seem to work or be present in the Honeycomb build, I was wondering if there is some alternative, I've tried Jorte and a couple others but they need the native services... is there an alternative that works stand alone?
Thanks
As of now honeycomb is pretty buggy when compared to gingerbread.HTC have done a great job with sense overlayed on gingerbread but I wonder will it be the same with honeycomb.well having said that HTC has a habit of surprising us in a good way.one more thing that I would like to add is whether the soft keys will still work in tandem with the honeycomb's persistent notification bar; if so that would be ridiculous.most probably they will be turned off.and lastly the version of honeycomb 3.1 or 3.2 - which one will the flyer get and when ?
Both the Gingerbread and Honeycomb tablets have their own advantages and shortcomings. First, let us take a look at Gingerbread OS. An update to the Froyo OS, the Gingerbread came with a better DSP Manager/Equalizer.
It was equipped with features like expanded cloud messaging and enhanced voice recognition, it also came for an SDK manager, speech recorder and an SIP VOIP for those who conducted their business via their phone. But the Gingerbread OS came short on the user friendliness count, it made people long to go back to the old Froyo OS. It also had an issue with its Wi-Fi connectivity.
The Honeycomb OS, on the other hand, is considered a specialized OS for tablets. It has enhanced features such as multitasking and switching features. It also provides 3D transition and Google features such as Google Maps 5.0, Adobe Flash Player 10.2 and the much anticipated Google Cloud.
The Honeycomb is made-to-order to work with the Google TV. It also provides a reader app similar to ibooks provided by Apple. The Honeycomb OS seems a good deal, but it comes loaded with some of its own shortcomings. There is a constant rumble on the net about the lack of Honeycomb apps and Voice Apps.
Already having conquered the market with the Android OS systems. Google keeps on reinventing its Operating Systems. Whether the Gingerbread OS or the Honeycomb is better suited for you, depends entirely on your requirements.
If you want no-frills computing, you should go in for the Gingerbread OS enabled tablets, but if you are an avid gamer or a tech geek, the Honeycomb would be a better option, as it has been created keeping an onboard graphics in mind and creates a great visual experience. -msn news.

I just want honeycomb for the movie studio app. So my opinion is pretty biased lol. Bring on the honeycomb hopefully 3.2. Sense or not. Don't care. Just want that app BAD!
Is there anything out there that will enable me to schedule when I have syncing on for certain accounts? I had it on my Atrix with GB and on my SGS3 before I put CM on it. My N4 has never had the capability to my knowledge.
I really like the feature and imagine others feel the same. Is there a technical reason that this isn't implemented in AOSP (assuming it doesn't)? Where should I go to for implementation advice should it not exist?
Thanks!
There is a lot of great work being put out here by experts in ROM creation. I have MAX 2 and can someone create a new ROM with following features?
Usual EUI debloated ROM.
Latest 5.9.20s etc.
Default launcher Microsoft Arrow Launcher.
Next lock screen.
Other Microsoft apps like office apps, OneDrive, outlook and so on.
Stock remote, email and phone manager app and other must have stock apps.
Also google store, YouTube and hangouts.
Can something like be created on top of EUI ROM?
I know i can download all these apps and change default launcher but if this in ROM itself will make it even solid.
"I know i can download all these apps and change default launcher but if this in ROM itself will make it even solid."
Answered your own request. It can be done rather easily with a few minutes of app installs. Asking a developer to spend hours to automate something the end user can do with minimal effort is a waste of time.
True. You are correct. I wish Microsoft starts doing this and start releasing base roms for Nexus and One plus so on to increase adoption of their apps. They killed the WP pooch pretty bad.
Thanks
Lol really ??
Hi!
I was wondering whats the status of the AOSP apps now that most of them are replaced by Googles own suite of apps?
Are they completely abandoned, or do they get just updates on new Android versions to make use of the new APIs that come with it?
I've read in a lot of articles that Google stopped all development of AOSP apps because they are focusing on their own apps, but that opens up another question:
If its so, how come nobody from the dev community is doing any work on AOSP apps and submiting those changes back to AOSP?
Does Google forbid or decline commits to AOSP apps?
Im wondering because it doesnt make sense that some custom ROMs develop their own AOSP app replacements instead of submiting improvement changes to the AOSP directly.
