Hi
I seem to have lost the email client on my (wifes) S3!
It hasn't been used for awhile. so no idea when or where it has gone.
(I did, when new, reinstall stock OS to debrand phone)...
anyway, I don't like k9 (too ugly and poor gui),
could someone please point me in the direction of a replacement email app please...
preferably stock (as it'll have to do for now).
Thank you
Only 3 possibilities that it can disappear:
1. It is hidden inside touchwiz. You can click Show hidden Apps in app drawer.
2. Disabled using Settings --> Apps --> All --> Email --> Disable. You may have to enable it from there.
3. Deleted purposely from system/app using root explorer which may not be the case here
Thanks was disabled...
(curiously: how would that be possible, that is got disabled, without manually doing it ourselves?)

Isn't really possible. Someone might have accidentally done it

not quite sure why you want to do that but ok. you could purchase system app remover off of the market. if you have rooted your phone and that will allow you to remove system apps such as the messaging apk.you could try a file manager and delete the messaging apk from the system data but i havent tried that so cannot promise you it will work.
I would say no because of the fact the app is probably linked to the ability of all text messaging on the phone. So i wouldnt remove it even if u have a third party app.

Yeah, was gonna remove contact as well....
Assuming your phone is rooted (probably has to be to do what you want to do) you can use Titanium Backup.
Find Messaging, press it and select "Un-Install." If that doesn't work, long press and select "Force remove app (by recovery exploit)"
Same for anything else you want to take off.
Hi,
Recently my rooted NT (1.4.2) does not "download (save)" files or attachments from either browser or emails anymore. With email attachments (on gmail app), there are still two options "Download" and "Preview". However, both open to a list of programs to open the file but no option to actually save the attachment. Download option used to prompt for filename to save.
Can someone please tell me how I can reactivate the "download / save" option so that it works properly?
Since the problem exists both in browser (Dolphin HD) and in email (gmail app), I think it is an issue with a general setting rather than an individual app setting.
I did install and un-install a couple of "printing" apps (Samsung MobilePrint and Cloud Print, which did not work for me) recently. Don't know if they caused the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help on this.

Yes - agreed. You are a good troubleshooter...

Yes - they most likely did. You have the 'smoking gun'.
Since the NT is a 'locked down' os, not meant to do things, and the 'side loaded' apps broke into that... if you wish to save/keep the os, my thoughts are you need to visit B&N and get it re-loaded. There are other options.
Hi all,
What I want to do: remove all Timescape elements from stock Sony ROM safely (avoiding force closes, not random deletion)
Why: I noticed that a Sony executive announced a week or two ago that their 2013 phones will not have Timescape running through the phone because it did result in performance lag. Instead they will use one app for the same purpose. I want to test removing the lag in my phone by removing anything Timescape.
News on Timescape: http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/01/14/rip-timescape-long-live-socialife/
You need a rooted device and an explorer with root access like ES Explorer in order to delete the apk files in the System/App directory. You can find more information at the bottom of the first post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546253&highlight=bloatware.
I would recommend not to delete them actually just in case you want something back. In my case I have only change the file extension so the app won't start. For example gmail.apk has been renamed to gmail.apk1
A few months ago I clicked 'allow Facebook to sync with contacts' and similar options, I thought some features were useful. I tried disabling them all today and it has already made a helpful boost in performance. The true test will be a few days performance.
What I did was root my phone. Then I used an app manager that would allow me to disable system apps. That way I could easily restore any app that are really required. Anything with time scape or Facebook got disabled. I also disabled all system apps that were available from the app store.

No need to root. Just goto the app manager and disable all timescape items and anything else not needed.
I rooted and used Titanium Backup where I uninstalled all "Timescape"-related (appr. 5-6 entries...)
Root needed to delete

You still need root to delete system apps. Once you have disabled them and decided that causes no issues, deleting them will free up a little space.
A few days ago I disabled as much Timescape as I could and so far it really does remove a lot of lag. The phone is already usable...
It can be nice seeing friend's Facebooks pictures etc. in your phonebook but the lag is not worth it. :victory:
Hi guys,
I have Amlogic S812 streamer Xtreamer Wonder and it's running on 4.4.2 Android.
In the Settings menu there is no possibility (no menu at all) to add another Google account in addition to the one that was created initially. As a result all Google apps such Play Market, Gmail, Drive etc, working with one and only account without ability to switch to another one if needed. It's especially limiting with Paid apps which was bought under different accounts...
I tried to search all over the internet for the similar issue, but surprisingly did not found any ...
All the rest functionality is as usual, I also have root, thanks to the Rooting Guide by C3C076
Any help is very appreciated!
This is how Settings menu looks like :
Unfortunately, this firmware disable this feature.
So, to change google account, you have to use adb tool and remove /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file (if box is root) and add another account.
If box isn't root, you have to factory reset this box to add new account

Thanks for your answer water275, but is what you mean is just removing existing and adding a new one, but there still will be only one account ?
I tried to use few different apps which can manage existing accounts and I had there the option to remove account, but not to add. So in order to remove i think i can use this way, instead of adb. But what about to have multiple accounts? Absolutely impossible ?
What is interesting is that those account management apps allowed me to go into sync options for existing accounts. So it looks like the Xtreamer just hiding required functionality (menus) and not completely removed them. I was thinking in direction of xml files which are responsible for menu layouts, but i have not too much knowledge with them...
You can use Gmail. When you slide left panel in, there's an arrow next to your profile name. When you expand it you will see "Manage accounts" menu option.
Alternatively you can use my simple app (attached) I created for this purpose.

You right :good::good::good:
Gmail not allowing to add account guys. There is no such option. If it could be this way then it would be simple

Sorry mate, what do you mean ? 2nd and 3rd screenshots is from your app. Where 2nd one is straight after I launch your app and 3rd one if I choose google account and then click on options on the right side.

Sorry, you are right. I got confused because of launching that app on my phone which runs lollipop. It unfortunately behaves differently on KitKat.
I'll try your app on my android stick in car, there is also 4.4.2 just to compare, but as i said earlier even that menu that your app shows is not available from the usual settings menu, so it seems like Xtreamer just hiding these menus for some reasons.

Yeah. But the screenshot above is a result of launching app on lollipop. Looks like the same call yields different results on KitKat.

For some reason on my Android stick in the car your app can't be installed. I have Install and Cancel buttons, but Install not clickable. I'll try similar app from the store later.
Found solution !
The reason is that Xtreamer installed custom Gmail app that is not asking for update and installed as a system app (you can't uninstall it in usual way). This app have no option to add/manage account as I shown on the screenshots above.
Thanks to ROOT i was able to remove that app completely from /system/apps , and installed official Gmail app from the store. In the official app there is full managing functionality for accounts and i was able to add multiple gmails there.
I highly recommend to uninstall pre-installed Drive and Youtube apps too.
In the general settings menu of Android there is still no manage account section, but at least I can get there through Gmail now.
Thanks to everybody for your help !
Does anyone know of any way to block/stop apps such as Facebook from viewing my other installed apps?
With the new Facebook update they've now got tracking of your off Facebook activity. Its in your settings and it's called, Off Facebook Activity.
Don't believe me? Check, it's deffinatelly there now in latest update.
I know can turn it off but them being able to see my other apps and to see what I do on there just annoys me.
Is there any way that I can prevent them from seeing my apps.
Also some things I've googled have ended up getting my email address as got emails about what I searched.
I have ap-ops which don't have option to block it, I have xposed which I don't like to use as it stops other apps from functioning but I might start using it again if it stops this. Also I have magisk installed and rooted via this.
I have a Samsung galaxy S7.
Hope there's a way to do this, any apps or any other way that anyone knows.
Thank you.

I've uninstalled it for now, didn't need titanium though.
Can use Facebook via a browser instead.
Thanks. Would be good if a way to block even browsers from viewing apps and getting my email address.
@Guestme
You always can try to turn of and/or revoke an user-app's permission. Of course it then may happen that app is no longer properly functioning.
Below are the app permissions available on Android 6.0 and up. The permissions you see on your device may vary by manufacturer.
Body Sensors
Calendar
Camera
Contacts
Location
Microphone
Phone
SMS
Storage
Note: If device is running a version lower than Android 6.0, go to review app permissions for more information about how permissions work on your device.

I did disable all Facebook permissions but still had my off of Facebook apps information. Who knows if other apps are doing the same thing, I block all unneeded permissions in all my apps and keep them frozen until I need to use them. Thanks for your reply.
