I am running Jelly Beans ROM v7. I love it, except the stock email app is awful. Is it possible to get the same version that comes with the Paranoid Android ROM into the Jelly Beans ROM?
Thanks!

not familiar with the app, but is it a different app or just a different resolution?
I think it is a samsung "improved" version that I dont like. The PA version can have much smaller font sizes and just looks much cleaner.

Why not change the font size in the settings of the app?
Changing the font within the default email app or within the global phone settings has no effect on the default mail app.
I should also mention that I don't like the default mail app. What I am looking to do is replace it with the email app that is included with the PA ROM.
Thanks

The PA email app is just the AOSP email forced into phone or tablet mode (whichever you choose in PA settings).
Here is a link to a thread I found in the Apps Section. I haven't tried this method since I prefer the TW email:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086298
Due to the DPI this will load in phone mode. If you want to change the DPI of just the email app, try Xposed or something similar. The Xposed information can be found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065644
This worked for the most part. I really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. I now have Jelly Beans and the AOSP email app. However, it is not giving me the 2 column view in portrait or landscape. Any ideas?

Nobody can help you with the information provided. We need your current ROM, kernel, any other information you can provide about what exactly you're running. Virtually all ICS ROMs have wallpapers that will scroll as you swipe from screen to screen(I assume that's what you're talking about). Also, launchers such as Nova or Apex have options that let you have a static wallpaper that doesn't scroll when you switch home screens.

I assumed that because it isn't working in the way I want, ie wallpaper doesn't scroll, that I would need to use new one. This same problem happened in gingerbread when I updated to 2.3.6 and there is no way to fix it except by changing the rom or firmware version.
So that's why I thought it wouldn't matter.

Huh, I don't remember that happening with UCKK6. I only ran it for about a week a long time ago though, so I don't really remember. Anyway, yeah, whether or not a the wallpaper scrolls is generally driven by the rom. For instance, on my wife's Inspire, Sense 2.1 roms have scrolling wallpaper while sense 3.0 and 3.5 roms do not.
Kind of irritating to not have it in my opinion...but the solution is just to switch to a different rom. If you want a Touchwiz based rom, I'd suggest trying ShoStock2 or Phonebricker. If you want a Google AOSP based rom, try out AOKP or CM9.

Its not the rom its a problem with the Wallpaper Chooser app. Every other launcher and wallpaper app I've tried all work just fine and I've got the Danzig skull in my avatar happily spread across all screens now.

try downloading zedge (i know....) and picking a random wallpaper, install it and see if that gives you any scrolling...
I was able to get scrolling to work by uploading my wallpaper jpg to a file host and then opening it via web browser and setting as wallpaper as well, but if i tried to set the wallpaper via the homescreen settings it would crop most of the picture and all i had was the very center of the image zoomed in with no scrolling.

It is not the launcher, it is the gallery. The one packed in the original rom does not support it. Switch the gallery from a rom that does, most of the i9100 do and the custom roms here

Does the gallery somehow control scrolling features of live wallpapers too then? Because those won't work in TW or any other launcher on the android market either.

I've never run live wallpapers so I can't answer that, I just know that I replaced the gallery in the leak and it allowed me to resize my wallpaper and allow it to scroll from page to page.

Tried zedge just now, no dice. I've tried a few other apps that set wallpapers as well and they just give me some weird zoom and no scrolling.

Ya stock out of the box emojis don't work and when u add the font they are black and white. Bean had included the working emoji for the mms app and it works for sending and viewing from within the app. It's a setting that has to be enabled from within the mms app settings

That is a nice app, but it doesn't copy the stock JB app, nor does it implement Google's recommended swipe gestures to navigate.
Has anyone found a voice dial besides the stock ones they are absolutely horrible!

no, i think that they aren't allowed to.
I was looking for safer way to change the screen DPI to 240, but was a bit worried about installing any mods. Instead of installing apps, I thought of modding them using Xposed App Settings. For now, I have just changed the UI to 240 DPI and am looking at doing the same for other apps.
For those who are interested, below are the tweaks that I did (will continue to add them as and when I get them correctly on my phone).
I am using [N7100 MK4][23Nov]Dr.Ketan's Custom ROM V5 Deodexed|Prerooted|Note3 Fs, but this should also work with other ROMs too.
Note: I am just sharing what I have learnt and tried. But am not responsible for any kind of issues that you may face.
Install Xposed Installer and App Settings module (check out the respective threads for instructions). Once its ready you are all set to go.
Change the System UI
In the app, search for: System UI.
Activate it and make the following changes:
- DPI: 240
- Screen: default
And then click Save
Repeat the same steps for
Contacts
Chrome
Hangouts
Music Hub - Change the DPI for both Music and Music Hub
ES File Explorer
S Note
Email
Change TouchWiz home
In the app, search for: TouchWiz Home.
Activate it and make the following changes:
- DPI: 320
- Screen: default
And then click Save
Repeat the same steps for Camera,
Check back later for updated list.

Agree, and in no way I am saying your mod is not good. I used them for quite sometime.
Took this approach to avoid reflashing, when you can disable it without reflashing.
Changes to 'Android System'
DPI to 240, and the Screen (dp) to 800x1280 also made magical changes on 412...havent tried on 4.3 yet- if i remeber correctly it made the windows float too and be resizable.
TW launcher looks good even at 295 better than 320 !!

The best is UI SWITCHER, you can change/switch whatever dpi you want. I'm using it flawlessly in my DN3V3. Just had to change the contact dpi to 320 with screen dp 800*1280, and using lg keyboard which is the best of the universe or you guys can use vinney's 240 dpi modded keyboard if you need to use direct input. That's all and BOOM!

XT912 - CM 10.1.3
CM has the all-white message threads. Is there anyway to easily make small changes to it (such as have the threads simply be a different color for sent/received) or a theme that accomplishes this without being too dramtic and completely changing everything else on the phone?
I know I can install a third-party app, but I'd rather not go that route.
The dark theme doesn't work for me. I check it in settings and nothing. Is that working for you? That has been the case with several different nightly loads for me. CM 11 now.
