Could all devs consider including a "stock" email app in their Rom, or at least a link to add, as I access my mail regularly on my mob and find it frustratingly awkward to re-access my Virginmedia mail client on new custom roms. Often this means me returning to stock as access to my email is a vital ingredient.
Well , not everyone uses Email nowadays...
It's not exactly a necessity , but rather adding Gmail is okay .

Tried K9 and other clones I'm on blueyonder.co.uk & 30mins of faffing about unable to connect... Stock 15secs setup all my mail up and running. That's the difference & when you try new roms at the rate they get published 15secs is plenty with the other stuff you have to personalise.

Hi all!
So I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.0 and its my first tab. I have a HTC Desire cellphone, so android isn't completely unknown for me.
Even though I do have a few questions, maybe you guys can help me with.
1)
I have seen many screenshots where people have different background for each screen. One homepage, one called music to the left and maybe one called games to the right (just examples). And it look really awsome, how do I get it to mine?
2) It says it can have different email clients synchronized, but I cant get my yahoo mail to cooperate with it - I have no idea why. When I try to add another mail than Gmail (which I dont use) then it wont accept it. I did wrote to Samsung but they have no explanation or what so ever.
I'm a new user and cant post any outside links. I found the guide at a site called androidspot - how to setting yahoo mail on samsung galaxy tab.
3) generel tips! I really love my tab and think it is a great machine and can, in some place, be a substitute for a laptop. And that is what it is. I do have the feeling I dont really use all its function or just half of them.
Hope you guys can help me
And btw, I'm from Europe therefore there maybe be som function I cant use, like Move Hub (Damn! This one would be awsome to have!).

Hi
I can only answer your first Q:
Get this App --> https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
Maybe you should try to get an OTA update from Samsung to solve your mail problem.
Otherwise flash a newer ROM.
BTW: Good choice for the tablet ;-)

To get that app, should I get into the app store or should I go through your link, with my tab? I actually had no idea we were able to download direct from the internet, thought we had to go through the app store?
What is an OTA update? I recently updated the tab, so I suppose I have what we call touchwiz at the moment? I have heard the word "honeycomb", is that another OS or same thing as touchwiz?
According to this site you need to upgrade to a Yahoo! Mail Plus account.
Or try this

You can use the stock email app using these settings. I will post a video on my blog showing step by step soon.

opening this link on your tab will result in a question if you would like to open this like with the browser or the market, choose market.
OTA means Over The Air. but therefore you need to have setup an account at samsung. can be done under settings - about phone (or something - last option).

I made it work, now I just need some great background. Thanks you
About a OTA, how do I get one? And mere important, what is it?
And yeah, hopefully it wont dissapoint me ;-) So far I'm happy for it. I have bought some games and for some reason it seems to have some problem playting them. Sometimes it suddently exit the game to the homescreen, and I have no idea why.
Similar to iOS, is there any way that ICS, perhaps to incorporate Facebook or any other social networking sites to its OS?

On my phone I get FB notifications (although I often turn the feature off because it gets on my nerves) and I can sync contacts.
What features are you hoping of having integrated or 'incorporated', exactly, and why?
They could do but we will have top wait and see of they do.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Google +. I wish they could do those cool "Publish to wall" status for Google + directly as an option after taking a picture or something alike.
what do u mean by integraed .its already there in my phone ......the contact pictures are synced with the fb pictures and the notifications r there
Where exactly does iOS have social network integration other than Twitter?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
what I meant is, for example, after taking pictures, you have the option to upload the image to twitter (on iOS). I mean, those simple stuff that could be integrated by android by their own ways to avoid copyright problems.

Uhhh, yeah. My phone can do that, automatically with a setting...though it doesn't give the option if set.. Look under sync settings, and in the settings for G+. I'm pretty sure Gingerbread phones could also do that.

You can do that already. Once you sign in to your Facebook/Twitter account on Android, you can share pictures and videos directly to them. Take a picture>Gallery>Share>Facebook/Twitter. It's a much better system than iOS.
In iOS, Apple has to specifically enable sharing, like they did for Twitter. But in Android, the share menu is universally accessible, so any application can integrate into the share menu if it wants to allow stuff to be shared easily to it.
Click thanks if I've helped you.
I suppose I haven't seen the all out potential of android. I apologize for being a newbie...

i believe the blur email requires the motoblur framework which is included in Ms2Ginger but not in CM7... i find the CM7 email client to be equally good and much fast! I use it for checking my office email and the rules etc to move emails to folder are already set in my exchange account so no need to set them on the CM7 client. Hope this helps!
ok this make sense, but maybe it is possible to include this framework too.
my company account is not the problem, there are also rules active in exchange. but my 5 private imap accounts are the problem.
i get much info mails from my linux server, and these have an own folder.
cheers

As title asks - is there any good Skype clients out there? The official one is preposterously bad and one of the few I can find that actually does Skype is IM+ but that one isn't too minimalistic either.
Is there any good ones that I don't know about?
IM+
I use IM+ for Skype

Looks like you dont need video-calls support, right? I used IMO in the past.
Its a very good app, simple, clean and works with many services, even steam

Ye, I've been around IMO. I didn't really like the UI last time I used it but judging from screenshots it seems ok now. Sadly it also seems like Skype is no longer supported?
Boy, I missed the days when MSN/WLM got used. It was so much more flawless than Skype is an non of this "only possible to use official client" BS.. Sigh
Is there any good skype client now?
Been using this app for years but lately it seemed to have stopped and I see dev gave up on it..... what does everybody use ? or any way to get this working again ???

Sort of in the same boat but haven't really been too motivated to replace it, but just for context, the reason for the stoppage seems to be that Facebook retired V1 of its public API on April 30 2015.
In theory anyone could take up the task of updating the haxsync source but afaik it hasn't generated any interest from a willing and able party.
Damnnnn sucks, which somebody would get it working again
Damnnn Surprised no other dev has taken up on this....... Haxsync had a nice fanbase and it was a paid app also...... Anybody found any alternative ?

In May 2015, Facebook dumped it's old API which supported getting a complete list of all your friends from within an app. The new API does not support this. The only friends it can see now are friends who have the same app. Facebook basically broke every app that does what Haxsync does. This is why you don't see any new ones.
I'm not an android dev. I'm just repeating what I was told. I do wonder why my dialer app on my LG G3 is still able to sync all photos, though. I think that is done automatically through the Facebook app. Maybe it has more permissions allowed through Facebook than standard apps. I don't know.
