Hello everyone,
I'm not an android developer or modder, I just managed to edit the Contacts provider successfully to enable the facebook sync. on my Arc.
It's working for AOSP, AOKP CM10s Roms.
- Download the attached file.
- Backup your current ContactsProvider.apk (rename it to ContactsProvider.apk.bkup) just in case.
- Copy the downloaded ContactsProvider.apk file and Place it to /system/app on your mobile with the correct permissions -rw-r--r--
- Go to Settings/Apps and clear facebook data/Cache
- Open facebook and login.
Hope it could help you
Going to try.

Did you clear facebook data/cache ??
If so, you should have seen the sync. options right after logging into facebook app. , did that happen to you ?

Ok friend
just, make sure you enabled contacts sync from the facebook app, and also check that you display your facebook friends from your "Phone Contacts" settings :good:

Thanks, great job. Finally got it working on AOKP.
Hi. I am using your mod n cm11. It is even better than cm10. I can download all of my contacts and have no issues anymore.

Does anyone have the NON touchwiz email app and widget? I HATE the touchwiz look for this particular app and widget. I have searched but have been unable to find anywhere it has been posted. Thanks!
I completely agree. I did the TouchWiz update this morning and I can not stand the gigantic look of everything.
Am on the same page with u guys ... its blindwiz
i also need that email.apk!!!
Only changing the apk doesn't work.... Someone got an idea? Maybe a dev?

Think I might check this out, looks clean. However, are you required to install K9, or will the paid widget work with the stock email and gmail clients?
Has anyone found a way to revert back to the stock email app (Non- TW)
Thanks...
I completely agree! Do we know of anyone working on this? It hurts to use the Samsung version.. Will try k9
Working Solution
Hi Guys (and Ladies of course),
I extracted the stock HC 3.1 e-mail app out of the Acer Iconia Taboonay 1.1 custom rom.
And the best thing is that it is working on my GT-P7500.
Your tab needs to be rooted and the system partition must be mounted as R/W
I used ES File Explorer for the file operations. Any file manager which can get root access and mount the system partition as RW should do either.
Go to the directory /System/App and make a backup of following files (for your own safety):
email.apk
email.odex
exchange.apk
exchange.odex
After backing up you can delete them from /System/App or move them wherever you like
Now copy the files attached in this post to the /System/App directory, reboot your tab and enjoy the stock HC 3.1. email app (including the widget).

I had to clear data and cache for both Exchange Services and Email - but all worked nicely. Many thanks.
I'm on a Tab 8.9 WiFi, incidentally.
Would someone mind posting screenshots of the Samsung email app? I've read in a number of threads about how it sucks, but haven't seen and am curious. Thanks!

My camera is still working (10.1). I didn't touch the phone.apk (until now...), just the e-mail.apk and the exchange.apk

I found apk files, but I can't find odex files (I have rooted SGT 10.1 7500)?
Thanx
If you don`t find you might have a deodexed Rom -> you won`t find the odex files.
Imho you could try to proceed without the odex files - but at your own risk!

Here is the apk , hope it worx for u
If u want it to be ur default mail app , rename it to exchange.apk, go to system/app and replace it insted of ur current email app which should be (exchange.apk) , do this using root browser lite , and then change the permissions by holiding on the exchange app and choose permissions , then make sure it looks like this :
Read Write Excute
Owner x x
Group x
Others x
And click ok , reboot and it should be ur default app for emails :good:

Try moving ur current email app(exchange) to your sdcard from system/app
And then move the cm9 email app to system/app and change permissions and reboot
If anything didnt work , just put your old email app back

You need root access to access system files , no other way to make this your default email app , or another email app

Its a system app , cant be installed like another app , even if u delete your email app , u have to copy it to ssystem/app to work , u cant install it
Why dont you root via the advanced stock kernel ? its the stock kernel +root+cwm
Very stable

Yes I know.
But I have the Yellow tint issue, and I'm going to send it to repair... soon.
I re-locked the bootloader... and I dont want to unlock-it again before sending it.
I just dont understand why cant be installed as an normal app... it needs special permissions/access? it's implemented differently from other email clients?

Why did you try todays root method ?
I dont think it will effect anything but
Root via advanced stock kernel
It doesent realy worth it
Sony's email client is also good

Hi Guys,
I'm at a lost here. I just install the FXP CM9.1 Rom and it works great. What I miss though is the ability to select multiple recipients for a SMS. In the stock XPS sms app, you are able to pick all the recipients from a list before typing the message. In the FXP CM9.1 rom, you have to type each individual name in. My question is, is there a way to retrieve this function? Thanks guys!
no one?

If someone has XPS with stock rom and root access, ask them to copy for you the sms app apk from system/app folder...that should do it.
There's threads about with the Xperia T apps, they have the conversations apk u need
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
I grabbed the Conversations.apk from my stock ics system and dropped it into the CM9.1 system/app with rw-r-r permissions and rebooted. It did not work. It looks likes I need a file called mms.apk. However, I can not find a mms.apk that I know that have the feature that I am looking for (ability to select multiple names from a list instead of needing to type in each name individually.)

If the Gmail your using is a modded one it won't update normally because of signature difference, uninstall via es explorer and do a fresh install from play store.
Or you can delete the Gmail.apk file from system/app folder and install it from market.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
Remove Gmail apk from /system/app, uninstall Gmail app from settings, install Gmail 4.2.1 as normal app. If it fails, copy newer apk to /system/app, chmod 644, reboot.
