Stock email app not working!! - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently running Bionix V 1.3.1 for the longest time…I think about 6 months. I love this ROM and don’t want to switch for a variety of reasons…mainly lack of time due to work, I like the rom and have themed it according to my taste etc etc. The only problem I have is that the email app doesn’t work. It was working fine until I flashed galaxy tablet email from ‘SGS Tools’ app. Since that day, my email exchange has stopped working and always forecloses upon phone reboot and also everytime I try to open it. Is there a way I could get the email app to work because I really absolutely positively need it for work. Switching to another ROM is currently not an option. Also reflashing the same Rom is not an option.
Please please someone tell me how to fix this.
Thanks.

I had a similar problem on a different ROM. I fixed it by installing an old backup of a previous version of the email APK from Titanium Backup. Hopefully you have an old backup.

Anyone??? Can it be fixed by replacing the stock email files from the vibrant dump? Perhaps someone can describe the steps here?

If you have strange problems with your flashed ROM read this

Hi Guys,
Recently no matter what ROM I was flashing I was getting FC and crashes. I thought either the ROMs were buggy or my HW had problem. It was very frustrating. Finally I found out:
It's the Titanium Backup which causes the problems.
Most of us have back up and restored lots and lots of times over different ROMs and this causes some of the system files to be overwritten while they are not compatible. Also note that I was trying to be very careful but still this happened.
So please do the following:
1- Delay your Ti restore stage and see if you have problem with your ROM or not, most likely not.
2- Once restoring don't restore data for most apps or file systems, only restore the app. and see if everything is ok or not.
3- For messages use something like SMS back up or sms back up +, etc.
Yea its a known issue with TI if you restore data especially for any system apps.

Strange SMS/MMS issue

I'm currently running the 8/26 MIUI with the newest ML Glitch kernel with EC09 modem. I can receive and send any form of messages to any Android phone, but for some reason, I have problems receiving video messages from any of the Casio G'z One phones. And one I can't receive regular texts but I can get pictures, but no video. I get com.android.phone. force closes when the messages see sent to me. If anyone has any ideas I appreciate the help. And I'm not new so I've tried many tricks, this one has me stumped. Thanks all

So i'm assuming you've tried running a fix permission in both terminal, and recovery? Also i'm assuming you tried wiping and re flashing both rom and kernel right?
Edit: also i'm assuming that you did not restore any system apps/data from titanium backup or a similar program? Right?

Oh yeah. I run all the common fixes. It actually does the same thing on VGB, all the versions. It doesn't seem to be specific to MIUI, because I've had this issue since I've gone MTD. Stock kernels do the same thing, I'm lost here. I've been following every fascinate developer since I've had it (a little over a year) so flashing and fixing is fun to me. I love tracking down and fixing problems. This is my first post on XDA ever. I usually am able to hunt down fixes. Thanks for hitting me back man. I'm gonna get it, this problem won't win.

Just to confirm, I have the same issue.
So does this guy:
[ROM] Samsung FascinateMTD 1.8.5 - Page 12 - MIUI.us
EDIT: I went all the way back to Miui 1.7.22, and the v11 glitch kernel. No FC and overall more stable so far. I can even send long SMS (160+ characters) without crashing.
When the new build gets uploaded, I'll be testing.
I still have that build too, I'll give that one a go again. I'm testing 9/2 as we speak. Soon as my bro hits me back I'll know something.

Same problem still there. I got a thumbnail of the video, but no video. And it force closed as it was coming through.

Apps not showing in market with CM7 that do with stock ROM.

I would like to use CM7 however when I try to download Hulu Plus from the market it's not available. It is available in the stock and UnNamed roms. I haven't tried any other device specific apps, I assume the same goes for them. Is there something I can change in the build.prop to get this to work? I would like to get regular updates for the apps as well. So I'm not looking to just use an apk off of the internet.

If you ha e a nandroid backup of your stock rom and IF you didn't use titanium backup to save all your apps and data THEN go back to your nandroid backup and restore to unamed rom, make sure you have backed up the hulu+ app with titanium. Then go back to your nandroid of CM7, open tibu, restore the hulu+ app. I don't use it but I saw someone else post that when they restored their app from tibu it worked fine. Once it is installed you SHOULD still get/have available any updates as normal.
Disregard this IF you already backed it up with tibu and just restore it.
On another note yes you can change your build prop so you can get unseen apps. I am not sure what changes you would need to make though. I used to do that on CM7 with my captivate when Netflix wouldn't show up with CM7. But that was corrected a long time ago.

I have used my backed up Hulu plus app on CM7. Just want to know if I would definitely get updates as long as its attached to the market. Can anyone confirm this?

Don't think you will get updates sideloading like that.
Did you try using airplane mode trick? Wipe cache, enable airplane, enable wifi check. Don't know if that will help or not but its worth a shot

I am pretty sure it will work for you. Like I said I was using the hacked Netflix app well before it was available on our captivates a d when it got updates I was able to see it and download it. Then it wouldn't work saying it wasn't supported in my device. Then I would change my build prop again and it worked fine. I have also had apps that I have sideloaded from xda and once they were available on the market or bad updates I would get the updates and use the apps with no issues. I would bet you will be fine once you have it working.

Working Titanium Backup - CM9 A.0

Let's be real, this deserves its own thread. Many people live by the sword of Titanium Backup and it's currently broken in the first Alpha of CM9 for the Touchpad. I've searched through about 9 threads and several info files and have yet to resolve this issue.
So far there seems to be a Superuser issue that doesn't seem to effect Titanium Backup Version 4.0.2, which you can get HERE. That said, restoring files continues to fail. Has anyone had success with this? If we can get a fix I'll update this post to help others.
i agree it deserves a thread...but why in development section? why not in General or Q and A section?
I would suggest just using important apps only until this is fixed. Way too alpha of a build to load up a ton of apps.

Because I'm stupid and didn't pay attention. A mod should move this.

My biggest attempt was to check compatibility and display of apps I use regularly. I'm not concerned with stability at this point, I just wanted to load a ton of data and apps and see what sticks.
I just flashed CM9 over CM7 - everything worked fine and all my apps are still there
I don't see why they don't just use My back up root until titanium is fixed. It put all my apps and data back perfect.

I just flashed cm alpha0 and ran into this problem. Will try the 4.0.2 and restore some of my apps just to try everything. Looking forward to New versions with fixed titanium.
Will try my Backup root. First have to migrate Backups from phone
You know if you use ACMEinstaller2 there's no need to wipe anything. I was able to keep my apps/data/settings and I'm yet to run into any issues. This was mentioned in Dalingrin's OP on RootzWiki.

And Titanium Backup still works for you? Didn't for me.
Freezing apps does not work, and restoring apps only works if you set the app proccessing mode to INTERACTIVE.
I remember a similar issue on CM7 for the Epic 4g.

My point is you won't lose any of your apks + data. The only reason I use TB is make batch backups of my apps (which I did prior to flashing CM9), since i didn't have to wipe, not being able to restore is not an issue for me.
As worthless as this thread is becoming, it does appear that the newest version of Titanium Backup (4.7.4) does seem to be working after removing and updating superuser. Well, once at least. Functionality is back to broken again it seems.

It seems like this is the logical answer for now. I've always wondered why more people don't use My Back Up Root instead of TB anyway.

If you first install the app from market, you can install the data from titanium. That worked for me. The only hassle is that you have to do it one by one.
Edit: I'm running the pro version 3.8.7. There's a link for it here somewhere.
thanks! i needed TB to run whatsapp on CM9
4.5.2.2 is working for me. dont know if itll work for everyone though.

[MOD] Contacts.apk (Yellow Pages REMOVED)

Here is a modified stock AT&T Contacts.apk file without the permanent Yellow Pages contact at the top. The is for rooted users only.
Replace the Contacts.apk in /system/app using Root Explorer. Change it's permissions to RW-R--R--. Reboot!
WARNING: Do not use this for any custom ROMs, only for use on a stock AT&T ROM! Also, remember to make backups...
Funny, I never even noticed the YP thingy on the top of my contacts till now. How lame. When I clicked on it, I got a force close. I must have already frozen whatever that button links to...
Thanks, maybe that apk can be swapped out for the stock one in our custom rom(s)...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
Awesome work!! This is verified working.
Niceeeee. Like to see dev work like this. Great work. This should maybe be in the themes and apps section though. Not a criticism.
How obnoxious of them to stick that YP in the contacts ?
Thanks, I tried posting in dev but it said not enough posts . I remove the yp app and mine force closed also when clicking the contact. It's crazy how much bloat ware came on this thing. I'd like to see a stock Samsung contacts.apk to see what else they hacked up
So just did this and now Contacts is missing from my app drawer and it wont launch from my launcher tray......... and I cant make calls the phone shortcut is gone.....
You need to restart the phone...

I've rebooted multiple times. I tried again same deal not sure what the issue is. I'm on TPC's v2 ROM not sure if that would cause any issue.
Same here and i didn't back up the stock app lol. Does anyone have the unmodded apk?

I have it, PM me you email addy I'll mail it over to you. I would upload it but I'm at work right now.
I haven't tested this on any of the custom ROMs, only the stock AT&T ROM. I'm not sure what they did with their Contacts.apk file. If you upload the one from your ROM, I can see if I can make the same mods that I did to the AT&T one.
Didn't work for me either, and also copied it over stock apk and don't have a backup. Using TPC V2 ROM. Any one have stock Contacts.apk for that rom?

Using Go Contacts EX from the market for now. It's a little much, but works for good as a replacement for stock.
Looked over in the dev section- will probably be flashing a new ROM soon anyway
