ICS Email and Titanium Backup - Getting rather pissed off... - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just upgraded to ICS from GB... I setup all my emails with push notification... then i froze all the samsung hubs (bloatware trash)...
And poof... my email accounts disappear... I had to unfreeze everything and then restart the phone and reinstall all my accounts for it to work again...
Is the samsung hub linked in some way to the push email?? what samsung hubs should i not freeze to keep push email?
And if i don't put push email can i freeze all the hubs or will it delete all my accounts again?

You could use a bit of trial and error here.
Just freeze 1 app at a time in TB and check if email is ok. Soon enough you will find the one that you can't freeze.

GTI9100
Hydra H2O 1.2.1
fluxi xx.01_rc5

very very weird... Apparently it's the social hub with a few dependencies even when push email is not enabled... I hate samsung bloatware
I also remember a post that listed what apps you could freeze with titanium backup... But i can't find it. Anyone else remember it and can find it?

Probably this thread could help you.

Try to Freeze app and Unfreeze again or flash a new rom if it can't solve

I uninstalled all the hubs rather than freeze then set up email. Seems to work fine.

[Q] Facebook Updates Through Motoblur?

First, I'm not talking about the Facebook app. As most of you know, Motoblur can hold a Facebook account and can show you Facebook messages when they come, but those messages will show up almost an hour after the regular Facebook app does. I was wondering if there was any way to make it sync faster? I have been searching everywhere for it.
After flashing Adeo fb never would sync for me and the motoblur account couldn't be modified. I remember it saying I couldn't delete the fb account w/o factory reset. I did SBF, GladRoot, updated & ran AfterUpdate to retain root. Now my social networking syncs properly again, something about Adeo broke it. It works so well I was getting duplicate notifications back to back for fb messages so I disabled notifications for messages on the fb app.

No prob, if you want you can feed my thanks meter haha. Make sure you dont restore any system data with TiBU, another user said his mb account was not syncing after a tibu restore.

What you said seems to be working. It is definitely synching quicker than before, not as perfect as I'd like but nothing is perfect about Motorblur haha. Thanks for the tips!

Double email notifications

Okay so I tried posting this in the general section and I didn't really get too much help. I tried calling Motorola support and the guy was talking to me like I was stupid. What happens is I get two email notifications in the notification bar. One with the y! Symbol and one with the @symbol. Every time I get an email both of these notifications pop up and this used to not happen before. It seems like it should be a very simple fix. Yet I haven't had any luck fixing it. Anyone else with this problem

I'm assuming you have some yahoo mail app? Hence the y!
You should be able to turn off notifications for either one of those. Just pick which app you want to be your main email client, open the one you don't want to use, hit the options menu button (the left-most soft button that has 4 squares on it), and disable notifications and you could probably tell it to never check for messages/sync.

Is there supposed to be a yahoo mail app? because i just see that blue email app. And under accounts and motoblur account, it shows the email with the @ icon, the username is blocked out and im only allowed to enter a password and when i do that, it says please enter a username. I can't delete that account
I dunno man. the only thing I can think of that would use a notification that looks like y! is some yahoo app. check all your apps in the app drawer and look for anything yahoo related.

I had this same problem and couldn't get around it. I created the problem (I think) by using Titanium Backup to restore the email/messages. It was after I re-flashed the retail sbf to get root on .57. I reflashed the sbf a second time and didn't restore from Ti (only restored apps plus data). It turned out Motoblur kept that info anyway once I logged in after reflashing. (the email account was there).

It was a few weeks back when I did this so I am a little hazy but it appears that Moto must populate the email fields on the phone from their server level. If I recall correctly my 3 accounts (one exchange, one pop3 and one gmail) were all there after I reflashed and just logged into Motoblur after the second reflash. The Ti email/messaging restore must do something to corrupt the pop3 accounts. Like you, I couldn't figure out a way to get rid of the account and just re-enter the data.

Oh okay looks like ill have to do that then....first im gonna have to find the fastest way to get back to where I am now

This bugs the hell out of me as well. I get two different notifications when I get one email from one source. One is the @ red stamp looking icon, and the other is the standard gray envelope. I'm on GingerBlur, and I've been looking for a way to get rid of one or the other notifications and can't find where to remove one of them.
There has to be a way to do this other than a re-flash.
Oh, wow didn't see this thread when I posted in another one. I suggest checking universal inbox or other all in one messaging apps to make sure there aren't multiple apps notifying you about email, since just on the phone are 3 email apps, one for Gmail, one for yahoo, and one for all of them.
Also if you do decide to sbf, get titanium backup and do a batch backup of your apps, and then redownload titanium backup and restore the backup after you sbf. It made things much easier when I sbfed.

Help with Facebook contacts sync.

Please understand, I DO NOT WANT TO SYNC MY CONTACTS WITH FACEBOOK!
It totally messes up the sync, puts wrong info with the wrong people, etc.
So I go to settings/Accounts and Sync, select Facebook and turn off Sync Contacts. Then I delete all the garbage and the mess Facebook has made of my contacts, use MyPhone Explorer to force Outlook to my Contacts and all is well until.... a reboot will somehow turn it back on! I'll get the message in the notification bar about linked contacts, click NO! HELL NO! and then go look at Settings/Accounts and Sync and the Sync Contacts is back on. Sometimes I catch it before any notifications have come up, sometimes I catch it before it's messed up my Contacts but not always.....
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the 4th Android phone that's had this bug! I've run stock ROMS, Froyo Roms, Gingerbread Roms, currently running rooted with a Gingerbread Rom. it doesn't happen with a BlackBerry or WinMo device, it doesn't happen with Google contacts so it's not the phone, it's not the Android version, it's not T-Mobile or VZW, it's a fault of Facebook or the Android Facebook app, how can I fix it?
Or am I the only one with the problem?
Did that for me to with an older version of fb. I deleted HTCfb with TB, and fb, then installed fb from the market, now it only has one synced option instead of like 5 or whatever it was before, and if I unchecked it it stays that way on reboot. I also deleated a ton of other stuff off my phone with TB that I don't use, so im not sure if something else may have helped that.
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
Thanks, I may have it handled. Maybe.... I left the sync box checked, deleted the categories Facebook had mis created in my Contacts list. I've rebooted several times and all seems to be well. Initially I had to dismiss a couple of paired suggestions but no more have popped up.
I'll delete the HTC Facebook and the Friendstream app if it continues to mess up.
Yea, I deleted all that crap, and backup manager, news, stocks, mms, tell HTC... Everything I don't use on a daily basis, and its much better now, not so much clutter and things trying to connect or hog recources and drain my batt, lol

Social Hub Accounts

Have searched found most of what I wanted to do however I have the following two things I can seem to get rid of.
I have removed all of the SNS stuff except SNS 1.5 with TB.
Can I remove this?
I also cant seem to get rid of everything Social Hum as in when you goto add accounts there is still two listed. They are:
Windows Live Hotmail and Yahoo Mail
How can I get rid of these?

Just because the option is there doesn't mean the program is. Why the need to get rid of every trace?

That confused me too. Why do you want remove every trace of them? The only time you see that is when you go to add an account.

I guess I am a little OCD?
can I remove SNS 1.5?
You can freeze it in TB, if you don't get FCs or other issues you should be able to uninstall it. That way you can unfreeze it instead of reflashing a ROM if it gives you issues.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
If you freeze/uninstall all of the different SNS listings you WILL get FCs when trying to use certain features related to contacts. Specifically if you link your contacts with FB or whatever and then freeze the SNS account linked to that social networking site your contacts will never update. If you freeze SnsImageCache it will cause a FC if you try and open the "media" tab under a contact's name.

[APP] AOSP Email App Works on Stock Rooted TW

Since I first got the GS4 I hated that the stock TouchWiz email app didn't let you load up your Gmail account with it. I really like being able to have all of my email accounts (including exchange) in one app and therefore I really don't like having to use multiple apps for multiple email accounts. So , today I finally decided to try and get the AOSP email app working on stock TW because I have always really enjoyed that email app. All I did was pull the email and exchange apks from the latest CM nightly, copied them over into system>app using Root Explorer, and changed the permissions (shown below) and what do you know...it worked!
There is one thing you need to make sure you do though: after you do this, restart your phone and then go into Titanium (or whatever) and clear the data from both the email app and the exchange app. They will be all weird and FC if you don't do this first, but after doing that they work like a charm. The only issue I have is that I can't set Gmail up with Push notifications, but it's not a huge deal and much less annoying than having to use multiple apps.
I figured I would let everyone know in case there are others out there like me. I have attacked the two apks to this post and someone is welcome to zip them up into a flashable if they so choose. And of course do this at your own risk, I am not responsible if you manage to screw this up somehow.

I was on stock rooted MDK for a while and I could do the same thing. I'm on Hyperdrive ROM now and did it there too. You just need to select the "others" option when adding a new account, enter your gmail login info, and it adds it like any other IMAP email account.

Quick question. Do you have to remove the old email and exchange Apk?

Yep gmail works fine on stock email app as an imap account, no push though and sometimes it's finicky about updating at the scheduled intervals.

When you say finicky at updating at scheduled intervals, what do you mean? Because my GS4 stops syncing automatically at exactly 8AM and 5PM even with peak settings off. It wont restart auto syncing until I manually sync once after 8AM, and again after 5PM.
