[Q] Xperia S ICS - E-Mail widget missing? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello guys,
did you noticed that we have only gmail widget? I cannot see any email (for exchange for example) widget.

It's on mine!

I'm also missing the e-mail widget. Did you ever find a solution?

I was also worried about this, I use mainly my work Exchange Email rather than Gmail, and I had Gmail Widget but no one for the email app.
I tried replacing (with Root Explorer, you can rename the original apk to apk1 and copy this instead) the stock email app with the one from Xperia T, that you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898425
It worked for my Xperia P, first I got a FC when launching the email app, but deleted all data from App (from App Manager) reconfigured and it worked nice, with a working email widget.

[Q] Restore Stock HC Calendar app

Hi,
Is there any way to restore the Calendar Stock honeycomb application please? TouchWiz's calendar is VERY slow and the UI looks ugly and cluttered!
Thanks in advance
I too would be very interested on how to bring back a few aosp apps/widgets.
Namely the aosp email widget.
YAY
After a couple of hours searching and nothing turning up, I decide to have a poke around in system.
I copied Email.apk and Exchange.apk from task & phantoms ex-stock rom and installed them via root explorer. attempted to launch and i got a force close. turns out previous data was causing problems, but i used titanium to delete data. and it works a peach!
Finally got rid of that hideous email widget!
and it works with the calendar app too.
how:
0. Nandroid backup!
1. install root explorer and titanium backup
2. extract the aosp apks to somewhere in your 'sdcard'
3. use root explorer to copy and paste the apks into system/app.
4. Use titanium back up to wipe data from the email and/or calendar app.
5. reboot (not sure if this is necessary)

Wow thanks a million, that worked great! Reboot is not required
Um, seemed to work with email, but got sync errors with calendar after changing apks....
And it would be great if the contacts app could also be changed to stock HC
Maybe a dev can make an update zip?
OK
i tried again and changing Email back to HC-stock works perfectly without any problem.
but changing Calendar to HC-stock with the files attached to this thread results in sync error both with Email (Exchange) and Gmail...
too bad. I (as many I think) really don't like the touchwiz apps, and wish it would just be HC-stock apps (Email, Calendar, Contacts...)

need to delete all activesync accounts
wipe app data either in settings or with Titanium
reboot
remove TW apks for Mail, contacts and calendar (if you have no done it)
copy and paste HC default apks for the above
reboot
Enjoy
Ok. I will try that.
You mention contacts... Do you have the non-TW contacts apks?

I took the email and contacts apk from DocRambone's Slim V6.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198921) and the calendar one from this thread. They work no issues in overcome rom.
It doesn't work for me.
I followed your guide by the letter
- Email works, but have a dysfunctional unread counter over the app icon now
- calendar works, but wouldn't accept gmail or email for syncing. In accounts and syncing calendar appears as com.calendar.... not as Calendar
- contacts doesn't even setup the app shortcut and is not in the app list in titanium. In accounts and syncing contacts appears as com.contacts.... not as Contacts

And what rom are you on?

Help replacing S Planner with AOSP google calendar

Hi,
I'm not into the samsung S Planner as I'm having trouble syncing my calendar events. I want to replace it with the AOSP google calendar but not 100% sure how to do it!
I have removed SecCalendar.apk and SecCalendarPrivider.apk from /system/apps and replaced with Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk from CM9. Not working though!
Can someone please tell me the steps I need to do?
Cheers
EDIT: I should add that I have a calendar app in the app draw that opens and works - I just can't get it to sync with google.
Surely someone can help with this?
Did you make sure to change permissions and reboot?
I think from memory its -rw -r -r

Make a backup, do a full wipe - see whether that works. I have replaced my calendar (and more) in exactly that way and works fine.
Do what I did.
Download Android 4 ICS Calendar from the Google Play Works for me!
Good luck
Thanks for your suggestions - Unfortunately I still can't get it to work!
I tried changing the permissions and even changing the .apk name to match the original SecCalendar. Calendar works but it won't sync.
Is there another .apk that I need to swap as well?
S Planner is just a tweeked Calendar ap. If syncing was working to start with, it's not going to work by changing the app you use to view with.
Have you checked your sync settings are correct/enabled, that the calendar is fine on other devices.
My gCals all pulled through and work fine with S Planner.

Calendar does sync with S Planner - it's just that for some reason some events don'y sync with it that sync properly on google calendar on CM9.

Stock e-mail vs Gmail app

So folx, tell me which one do you prefer and why?
Im currently using Gmail app, but i wanted to ask for your oppinion.. Im in dillema between gmail app and stock email app for @gmail.com mails..
Thanks
In stock email you can attach all types of files. Which is impossible in gmail app that offer to attach only a video or a picture.

Other than that ? Can you decrease font in stock app ?
i use stock app because of other site's mail account.
but using gmail app seems to be nice, too
stock has support for air view (awesome), multiple accounts (gmail, yahoo, aol, etc), nice widget
Well, one thing that is keeping me off the stock is following :
I have student email on my university... And i merged that with gmail acc, and it is set up on gmail account so when i go compose new on gmail i can choose from which account to send... I cant do that on stock email app
R: Stock e-mail vs Gmail app
I have attached several times non-video, non-photo files, just using total commander as backend.

I don't get much time to play with my phone, but if I had time I'd uninstall that crappy Gmail app.
I can't say a single advantage of it over the stock email app. I like the email sent notification of stock email app if that's an advantage, I like smooth multi touch it provides, I like how the body of an mail is formatted and so on so on...
That update of Gmail app have saved it from at least 10000 uninstallation, if that's the word, Lol.

You've gotta be kidding me right?
Gmail 4.2.1 is the very definition of smoothness.
Stock email app is choppy as hell, even in this monster of fast and smooth phone.
Don't get me wrong, with the new MA5 update, stock email is much smoother than before, but still pales in comparison to Gmail

Two differences that I know of:
1. The gmail app syncs chats but the stock email app doesn't.
2. The email notification generated by gmail when a user receives a ping when he or she is offline is synced by the gmail app but not by the stock app.

Hi
How to remove or disable gmail app? i dont want to use it
I came from iPhone and i've noticed problems in both apps.
- Gmail: No unified inbox, conversation view can be better (like iOS stock Mail app)
- Mail: No conversation view at all (and it's definitely not a good thing) and no push mail from gmail
In my daily usage i use gmail for the push service and the conversation view. But i think that iOS mail app and Gmail for iOS are better.
I've used all the other mail clients for Android and every app has some problem.

You can use the m.google.com exchange server, although I don't know how much longer that will exist.
I hate the black background on Stock Email, if you driving in car you will have problems to read, that is better on white background wit black fonts like on gmail app! So i would like only getting white background on stock mail app! Everything elese works (but surely, on my HTC ONE X) it`s much smoother! I´m on Omega 11 in moment!

I hate conversation view and that's why I disabled it in Gmail settings, maybe that's why I don't see conversation view in Gmail app as well. How do you enable conversation view in Gmail app?
And the stock email app has an option of conversation view. You can see it by pressing menu. However I don't know what it does as I haven't used it yet.
And the email client in iOS is way better than any Android client I've ever used.

You could use 'negative colours' under Accessibility. It'll make the background white. Just make a shortcut of Accessibility option which is accessible via Post key.
Also you could use the lighter email text mod of Xposed, not bad.

You can attach any file type in gmail.
If you have a file explorer installed, click attach picture, choose your file explorer as the method and then pick the file you want.
A bit dumb that you have to do it that way but it works. Lol.
I use each alternatively depending on who I'm emailing.
Also my gmail pushes mail just fine

I personally disabled the stock email app and replaced it with Aqua Mail.
I find it perfect for what I need.
Gmail app only has a problem: can´t attached all file types, so I´m using both aplications; gmail app only with gmail account and stock email with hotmail account to attached all file types.

Stock Email app creating duplicate folders (labels) in Gmail

Hello everyone!
I'm having an issue with the built-in Email app on my RN4X (mido). For some reason it creates duplicated labels (folders) on my Gmail account.
For example, the app creates its own "Sent" folder, which I then see in the Gmail web interface as "/[Imap]/Sent", the same with Trash and few more folders.
Usually with other apps, the workaround was to set an IMAP default prefix - which is [Gmail] in this case, and the mail app realized which folder is which and used the standard ones in Gmail, but the MIUI Email app doesn't seem to "understand" this.
Can someone please enlighten me here? Do you use Gmail with the built-in Email app?
PS: Of course, the simple solution would be to use Gmail app and be done with it, however, I'd like to keep my mail accounts in one app and I don't really like how the Gmail app handles multiple accounts (you can't set it to default into "All Inboxes", etc.). So the built-in app seems fine for this and I don't really like to install yet another app (Outlook, etc.) to use it for something as simple as email.
I'm using the latest update of everything on my phone, so I don't think the issue can be here. But if someone has an older version of an app that should be working, I'm all for it.
Thanks a lot!
