[Q] Stock Exchange ICS 4.03/4.04 question - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a simple question which i'm not gone solve on mine own.
I searched every corner of xda Sub-Forums : Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 and tried several things already, like replacing the apk in system/app folder with root explorer - but with zero result.
I'm using right know the F1 GalaxyNexus ROM and this came with the AOSP email client.
In this mail client I don't have the option to set time and weekdays for sync with the server and that is a big problem for me (not so big, but.....)
Is there a mailclient available from the stock rom ICS from sammy which I can use on this rom?
Any help will be appreciated!
And for those who also need there 10 posts to get in the god-like Development forums, I don't need replies with "I'm using this and it's working great"
I just need someone who knows where this mailclient is hidden on XDA

*bump* and update.
Let me rephrase the question, because I wonder what I'm asking is even possible.
Because after a day of use with the F1 GalaxyNexus Rom i saw that the Exchange service drained the battery with 43%.
So for the moment it's not even a option to use it and I did move on to moxier mail exchange.(for the moment)
So, is it even possible to push a mail.apk & exchangeservices.apk stockrom ICS from Samsung to a AOSP rom? and get it to work......
Or is this a sitution that sometimes you win some and sometimes you loose some

[Q] Generel use / tips

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.

[Q] Report mail as no spam in GMail ICS app

The GMail-App on my Xoom and my Nexus S (both with Android 4.0.3) is driving me crazy. In former times I could easily report mails as no spam.
That doesn't work anymore. Instead I guess it should be possible to mark the mails and label them as "Inbox". But that doesn't work, either. With some luck, it works with 1 or 2 mails, but the rest stays in SPAM, even though at first they disappear from the spam-folder.
Isn't there a way to do that? Why is there no real option to mark the mails as no spam?
Regards
McDV

[Q] How do you add tabs in Contacts and Phone app?

Hi all,
I have just installed lightning rom 2.5 and I have noticed that under both Phone and Contacts, there are missing tabs.
e.g.
Under Phone, the contacts tab is missing. I used to be able to slide to the right for more tabs.
How do I go about adding more tabs?
I tried searching but every time I add the word "tab" I get the Samsung Galaxy Tablet threads instead.
Also, under Security, the "SIM Change Alert" and "Remote controls" doesn't seem to be working, every time I tried checking the box, it freezes for awhile and then it says the setup has stopped working.
I wanted to post this in the lightning rom thread, but there's a 10 post restriction, and as such, I am posting here.
I hope someone can kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know about remote control or sim change alert, but it is a well known change in ICS that those tabs are removed purposely, in their infinite wisdom. I don't agree with it, but it is what it is. One of the many reasons I'm staying on Gingerbread until find an overwhelming reason to go to ICS.
So if this ROM is ICS based, that's your answer.

Ya, will do.
Interestingly enough, My Samsung Nexus S is on ICS as well, but it has contacts in the phone app.

That's cause Nexus S is running AOSP android, and Galaxy S series (including the GS2) runs TouchWiz, which Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, have modded to their liking.
Edit to add: Lite'ning ROM is based on Samsung stock, so it uses the same system apps. This will hold true for any ROM based on Samsung stock, unless the ROM chef changes out specific apps, like the phone in this case.

Thanks for the clarification. I am new to android and have been reading up on how to root/flash custom Rom on my TF201, SG2 and NS one by one. Took me several hours of reading and searching, but I have managed to get them all rooted/flashed without bricking any of them
This forum is loaded with heaps of info, but sometimes it's a bit hard to search for some specific stuff;the 10 post limitation on custom rom threads make it hard for me to ask for help from the author.
Just wondering... if S2's lite'ning ROM is based on Samsung stock (non AOSP), how do people change out specific apps?

You need to be rooted, and you replace certain apk files in the /system/app folder. But you need to be certain to use files compatible with your particular build of Android.
Remote controls

I also had this problem. Found the fix on the Litening rom forum under Problems and questions.
I would link the page to you but since i am a new user, i am unable to lol.
Basically there is a zip file that u can flash which lets u add a samsung account and enables the remote settings features. ive tried it on litening rom 2.5 and it worked for me

Ah, cool, thanks for the link.
Going to flash to 2.7 first. I hope I don't have to do clear it to factor settings again.

that feature is available on Google's version of ICS, which is AOSP, but also in AOKP/CM9, I have AoCP from The Collective Team and I have full screen caller id, if you're running stock , well that's AT&T/Samsung's fault for not adding it to their dialer, you can try this app out and see if you like it, I don't think you need root for it or anything else. good luck

Hey thanks roloracer, this is kinda a no brainer Att Ics? Coming from a windows phone and boy that feature looks just great. Every day I'm getting closer to the ROOT of the matter. Thanks again.
Related question, but backwards.
How would you disable this feature?
Looked through all the options I can find in CM9 (h0tw1r3, not the official CM9) and can't find anything about it.
I don't have contact pictures for 75% of my contacts, and the ones I do have are seemingly tiny images that look terrible on the Note full screen.

[Q] Samsung Dive on Stock ICS

Hello,
I would like to ask the savy custom rom makers for some input on what im trying to do, ofcourse every1 else is welcome to share input as well. Basically i want to setup Samsung Dive feature without installing a custom rom. On my stock ICS AT&T rom - 4.0.3, I have gotten Samsung account to show up under the Accounts & Sync by placing MobileTrackerEngineTwo, Samsungservice, and SyncmlDS apk files in the /system/app folder. I have also created a Samsung account and have been able to login to it on my phone...now here comes the problem, i want to activate remote controls option which is suppose to be under Settings > Location and services (i think)...obviously AT&T is garbage and that option isnt there so now, im trying to search for ways to force that option to show up, and wanted to ask you if you guys knew anyway to get that option to show up? maybe by replacing few system apk files?
i have also tried searching on this forum and only found these 2 threads: one and two, i also know that these are not the same phones...i also know that there are other apps that can provide same features as samsung dive...
any constructive input is appreciated...
FI
soo the lack of reply with 8x views must mean, 1) there is no way to make this work OR 2) im in wrong section of the form to ask this type of thing, if its #2, should i move it to some other section? i know there are custom roms out there who have Samsung Dive fully functional and i was hoping the creators would shed some light on what they did to make that feature work...
