I love the widget but hate the lack of organization. Anyway to rearrange them?
Yeah, I've been wondering the same. Can't figure out how to rearrange them in-browser either...
There are a couple of apps that will let you rearrange bookmarks. I use BookmarksSB
https://market.android.com/details?id=app-com.happydroid.bookmarks
That one force closes upon opening every time.:/(
On the details of that app it says:
Warning: on Android 3.x/Honeycomb, do not use this application if the Google Chrome bookmark synchronization is activated.
Could that be the problem?
No not synced.
Problem may be I have another browser.apk installed. I believe it was ported from the xoom or transformer with the quick controls.
i don't know why the stock browser doesn't let you rearrange bookmarks.. i've been using dolphin, which does let you, and is more user friendly. it also gives you full screen browsing. you could also set the uastring to desktop without having to debug all the time.
Thank you for the App. I was wondering how can i rearrange my bookmarks. Google should have included that within the browser.
Got a questions.
Regarding email app, anyway one know how can you select all emails at one instead of going through all the email to select them?

anyone know of a workaround?

Strange GO SMS Pro for me is working fine. Its not allowing facebook photos to show up otherwise its fine for me.
I'm guessing so app's are crossing over and garbling crap up
anyone have any idea what the samsung app "facebook for syncing" is in the accounts manager vs facebook/friendcaster.
I've found that friendcaster will sync my facebook friends..but not my numbers...
and facebook app will do both..but other app's arent registering them
and as far as I can tell the samsung facebook app for syncing is just for gallery/calender...but yet I can't get calender to work, just error's out.
Its the dock for the 7.0. I would like to have the internet key launch chrome and the email key open gmail. Running the stock firmware

I dug and searched for the same thing, from what I found all over the internet, no. I resorted to using the email app for gmail and unchecking the sync gmail in my account list so I wouldn't get double notified. The stock email app is pretty good, no issues, seems a little more flexible.

Thats disappointing. (I know its not your fault)
Here's the deal - I want to add my corporate email account to the stock app on my S4 however - my company has stopped approving individual Android phones to the network. They now want me to use the 3rd party app Touchdown, which I don't want to do.
My last phone was a Galaxy Nexus and was able to successfully use the activesync exchange. Is there a way to trick my company in thinking I have a GNex (approved phone) so I can use the native app? Changing the phone name in the build.prop file didn't seem to work.
I'd prefer to use the S4 native app but if I can pull the stock app from the GNex, that works too.
Thanks for your help!

I can't really answer your question, but have one of my own to you. What's wrong with Touchdown? I actually prefer it since I only have to enter my pin when I launch the app. When I configured the stock app for Exchange I had to enter it every time I woke my phone which drove me crazy. I acknowledge it's a personal preference thing.

Stock looks so much nicer. Looks like an app actually created for JB. Touchdown looks like a blackberry app from 2003. I like the way stock integrates with my calendar.
Also, I used the modified version of the stock app so I didn't have to enter a PIN

While I agree that visually Touchdown is not as nice as the stock app, it will sync the phone's native calendar with exchange.

Do you know how? My understand is that while it may sync with contacts, it can't sync with the stock calendar.

When you setup the account in Touchdown you just select the Calendar to sync.
I have used it on many different ROMs and since my Galaxy Nexus. I have noticed that sometimes it can take a while for the events to appear in the calendar. (A couple hours at times at first.)
I think you are SOL. The Exchange server you will connect to can (and is probably configured) to check a unique hash generated from your current phone that is registered at the first sync that was done on your GNex. There are hacks out there, but I have no idea how well they work.

Can you point me to the modified stock app? I'd at least like to take a look and see if it's something I can use. I'll not totally sold on Touchdown and an alternative would be nice.

I'm a little confused here. So you can use your phone but only if you use Touchdown. Does touchdown connects to your network some special way? What error do you get when you try to use your S4 mail app?

I've been using Touchdown for a few years now and I really like it but I've never found a way to have the Touchdown calendar copied/synched/etc to the phone's built-in calendar. I know this option exists for the contacts but I just checked all of the settings in TD again and an option to do so with the calendar does not appear to exist. Please tell me how you accomplish this?

When you initially set up the account it gives you the tick boxes for email, contacts, and calendar. I select email and calendar but not contacts and it has always synced my calendar.

Correct. I was told by my internal IT that they do not authenticate individual models of Android phones anymore for activesync (because there is so many different versions. ugh.). So they tell you that if your device isn't already on the list, you need to use Touchdown. I was able to use the stock app on the Gnex, but can't on my S4. The error message simply says "Setup could not finish: Authentication failed".
I was hoping there would be some way to manipulate the app so my phone would appear as a GNex to the network.
Now that the S4 had been out for a little bit I will give this a bump and hope someone had a solution Please help . Thanks!

Not sure if this will help you but for a while I had flipped to another client see this url http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-note-2/231093-i-miss-my-email-widget.html
And see the post from 12-18-2012, 11:55 AM alvarez13.
One of the many times I restored I did have a problem with FC's and created a step 6...
6. If this doesn't work just remove those two apps from the app folder and install the 2 apks from the SD Card. Then run TIBU and convert email to a system app, if it errors reboot the device.
If all else fails you just remove those two apks, and rename the original files back and reboot. Of course as always....
Please make a backUp when trying any mod, I am not responsible if your phone breaks. Yada Yada :good:
So update: I downloaded CM and can use the stock email app. For some reason on CM - my S4 appears as a GNex to my company's servers. Is there anyways to make that change so I can enjoy stock email use on TouchWiz?
Somebody must know how to make this change. Please help!

I also did not find a way to sync calendar. Should I un-install Touch Down and re-install it to get to the option?
Thanks

I would suggest Hyperdrive as an option and choose aosp email client vs tw. Hope that helps. Idk if it will but it seems it would since it's based off of cm's email client.
If I helped don't forget to hit that thanks button.

Sweet Jesus that did the trick. Thank you so much. You are the man. :good:
Every time i change chrome to default browser it does not stick. If i click on a link in email, google+, or twitter i still get prompted to use chrome or internet.
I've searched and searched everyone says same thing but nothing works.
I've checked "always open with" chrome and does not work.
I've went under all apps and tried to clear default for internet but it is grayed out and i can not click it.
Under default applications it does not show browsers so i can't modify there.
I've downloaded an app called "default app manager" and it allows me to change the browser default but it does not "stick". as soon as i click a link i'm still prompted with an option for browser.
I'm having same issue. Did you ever find a solution?
this may help
I found this to be another app causing the issue, in my case National Express Coach app.
But i think you can find out if you have the same clash using "Default App Manager" lite from the store.
Open app, Under Browser Category it will probably say "no Default App.
Click Browser category, if there is another app listed here other than Internet and Chrome etc, try uninstalling that rogue, non browser app as a test. Worked for me..
