It's not GMail specific but I personally like K-9 Mail for my e-mailing needs. Lots of ways to customize, clean, easy and fast. Also free, so doesn't hurt to try. Cheers!

Use Friendcaster. It's a much better facebook app. You actually get notifications and contacts sync without issue.

Agreed 100%. Friendcaster is the best fb app out right now hands down

I used to use friendcaster but then... lol jk not making an arrow in the knee joke but anyway i stopped using friendcaster when the facebook app actually got good
Keep in mind that any variance in the name between FB and your contacts may require you to 'join' the two via Edit in the Contacts menu.
+1 for Friendcaster too.

Better email client than stock?

Hey guys!
could anyone recommend a better email client than the stock one?
thanks
There is one called k-9

Kaiten is the successor to k9 and it's optimized for tablets.
If you use an exchange server the tablet version of touchdown is absolutely fantastic.

The new ICS gmail is awesome. Requires root though.

Moxier mail for exchange server is very nice.
Enhanced email works as good as anything I've seen. It's a paid app but worth it in my opinion.

Ah I think I understand. Does your native contacts app not work at all? If so, a third party app will not help you as it needs the native app to add new contacts and such. You said that it force closes, was that a result of deleting the yahoo apk within system/apps? That needs to be there for your contacts app to function. Also, what rom are you running?

Yahoo contacts and email authenticator are necessary files and will prevent the native contacts application from functioning correctly.

Contact pictures

Too much of a xda n00b to post in the dev section, but my contact pictures are not showing up in either the people app or the messaging app. Usually the picture would be the contact's Facebook profile pic but nothing shows up. Not even for me on my contact card. There is an option to change the picture, but the only choices are from gallery or file browser. Yes I have the Facebook app & it is synced. Any help would be really appreciated

Doesn't that link with your contacts on your Gmail.

Search on the market for "Facebook contact sync" and look for contacts+ it works pretty good. It tries to take over a lot of functions but just pick your default each time and you never have to deal with it again
liquid thunderbolt ics
Thanks, I downloaded that from play store & synced it & it works pretty decent. Still doesn't display pictures in messaging app tho?...

Which app? The one that comes on liquid ics ?

Yes, sorry. The native messaging app

That's weird it worked for me. Are you on jmod or just liquid?
liquid thunderbolt ics
Just the liquid
Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda app-developers app
O maybe it only worked for me cause I'm on JMOD. Keep trying other fb sync apps I guess. Or maybe that one won't do it by linking

I'm running Newt's ICS and the contact issue is on this as well. Hopefully the next release takes care of it cuz this is a Badda$$ rom! :cyclops:
Read the posts and see if it works for you on newts

I'll have to try that app because that is the one thing I hate about ICS on my TB is that it won't sync any of my FB pictures. It says that it is in the accounts list but it doesn't do anything
