Pulling APK from another device. - HTC Rezound

We use exchange at work and the rezound is only able to get my primary calendar. I've done some reading and its an android issue apparently. However some devices, Motorola for instance can see all calendars for a user. Would it be possible to pull the email apk from another device and put it on the resound? I tried with the one from my wife's Stratosphere last night as a test and couldn't make it work, but I just copied and changed permissions and am not a developer by any means.
Thanks

You might want to fix your subject to say email and not AOL.
I'd suggest trying some of the third party email apps like K-9 to see if they work, you can find them in the Play Store.

Thanks, fixed the subject, haven't been on a PC all day to do so. K-9 won't connect to Exchange 2013 as WebDAV isn't used anymore. I'll look at touchdown, but my question was moving the apk from another ROM and using it if possible.

A lot of apps that come with a device have dependencies relying on other apps that are also on that device. Some apps are self contained and should be usable on other devices, but may not work as well.

XWLA4 roms incompatible with amazon market?

Anyone able to login to the amazon market app on xwla4? No matter which one it won't accept login and password .
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Works on mine, just signed in, I haven't found any issues reported yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502426
Many of the new roms are being stripped down, I assume breaking things so just ask them to either include the files or ask for what is being removed/modified.
Also having issues with the latest version of google music as well :-/
Everythings perfect with shishirROM

Honestly I have had this problem on LILROM also (also was playing around with Rebel) and they both do it. I triple checked this before posting so someone didnt think I was just being dumb and it was a password problem but I can login fine to Amazon using the same Email/password on my laptop and on Shostock/ICScrewed fine. It was my understanding that the Amazon market is limited to US users so far and not international which was why I was curious -- its really a deal breaker for me because I have a ton of paid apps that are shared across my phone and several Kindle Fires. Hopefully someone figures this out and thanks for taking the time to respond btw...

Thanks I will give it a try but having tried LIL/Nonamed and Rebel already I suspect something is going on here that is either in relation to this base or how its being hellraised? I am not a developer but work in IT so if there is any information I can provide that might help correct this please let me know.
I will post back with some results on this later I need to wait for my GF to go to bed so she does not think I am ignoring her texts.
No issue here. Using lilrom, flashed before it was named, if that makes any difference.

i was on shishir rom also and didnt have any issues with amazon appstore.
Please don't blame ROMs for issues with logging into cloud services unless a problem like this exists for more than a day or two.
Login problems are frequently problems on the service provider side - for example, the Market wigged out on me this morning, but 20 minutes later it was OK.
If you install lots of roms check amazons site under your apps and devices. You may have used up the allowed amount of devices, just delete some and try to login from your mobile again.

Out of curiosity..If it was a problem with the market it wouldn't allow you to log in from computer either?

This. Ran into it a couple weeks ago. I think the limit is 20 devices. Every new login on a different ROM appears to count, from what I saw...though I didn't dig in detail, just deleted some aria and cappy instances.

No, completely different interface - for example, it's common for the Android Market to be inaccessible or wacky when accessed by devices but for the web frontent to be fine.

Getting another GS3

I managed to score a deal with Orange UK after I'd called to cancel my old contract with them (I'm with Three) and they offered me a FREE Galaxy S3 with 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 1.5GB of data for £23.56 (no idea where the 6p comes into it).
This is perfect for my GF, so I took them up on the offer and I'm giving her the phone and contract.
Now, she's been using my old HTC Desire through GiffGaff, of which we barely get a 2G signal around our house and where we live. Anyway, she's made three purchases on her Google account. Swiftkey, Battery Widget reborn and HD Widgets.
She used the Samsung keyboard on my phone a little to test it out (I use Swiftkey myself) and she quite liked that. The battery widget isn't any use for her on the GS3 since you can show the battery percentage next to the icon, but she'd like to keep HD Widgets.
We're giving the HTC Desire to my stepson as his first proper phone as well (he's 13) and the battery widget would be better on his phone and perhaps he could use the Swiftkey instead of my GF.
How do we go about keeping the purchases or moving them to another account? Is this possible?
Or, would it be possible to simply sign my GF into her Google account on her new phone as well as on the HTC Desire (so her account is present on both phones) and therefore both phones can use the apps?
The only tricky thing about that is the Google wallet and my stepson. I don't think he'd make purchases without asking but you just can't be sure!
Help!
You can have the same Google account on two different phones. Yes you can keep your purchases as long as you're logged into the same Google account. Moving app purchases between different accounts isn't possible as far as I know. As for keeping your son from making unnecessary app purchases, there's a setting in Google play that allows you to set a pin for downloading/purchasing apps
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Perfect. Yep just found that setting. "Require pin for user purchases".
That'll do nicely!
EDIT:
It might sound cheap, but can both phones use the same apps? Is there an install limit or something or is it a per account basis?

Nope never heard of an install limit. As long as your account is synced, you can use the same apps. BUT some paid apps are phone specific(purchased for the first phone and you might have to purchase a new license for the second phone). Best thing you can do is give it a test run- log both phones into your gfs Google account and see if you can restore paid apps in both phones. No harm in trying
Edit: I have to point out that your gfs contact data/gmail would be synced into the sons phone if you share the account. Even if you remove them from the sync settings, a 13yr old can always go into the settings and turn it back on

Sure you can use an app like titanium backup to freeze/uninstall it but the app is free on the market and can always be redownloaded. Even if you freeze the app, on the market there's an option to enable it(Just checked that myself)

That's fine. I doubt he'll try to use it.
I'm also checking online. According to Google, you can change your email address and transfer all your stuff over. I also never considered it but there'll be all my GF's contacts on there...
I think it may be a better idea to set up up his own gmail after all this! The widgets and stuff only cost a little anyway.
Yeah just setup his account and link it to your credit card so he can purchase apps with your permission.

Yeah, I guess that earlier. I think I'll just make him his own Google Account and put the pin lock on purchases and perhaps buy him the battery widget reborn thing (though Thomas H the dev was happy to move a donated purchase before, he might do it again?)

Sounds like a good plan
Or just stop syncing the gmail and contacts .....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
the best option would be to sign in, install all the apps you want, and then remove the account from the device. it'll mean no future updates but for a battery widget/swiftkey, i don't really think you'd need them anyway. if a major update does come in, you could just sign in again, install update, and then remove account a second time.

About to give up on the EVO LTE... which ROM(s) fix the stock mail app?

I'm a HEAVY E-mail user with one Exchange account, two IMAP accounts and two GMail accounts synced to my phone. I'm running the latest version of MeanROM which I mostly enjoy but the stock mail.apk applet has been completely overlooked. I'm convinced very few users maintain EAS accounts or bother with the stock app but it's pretty key to me.
It doesn't appear the 1.22.651.3 base or Sense 4.1 did anything to address the oversized font/zoom issue with the stock mail app nor did it fix the "Display Images" button on every message with HTML content. It also broke the ability to display links but that's a different issue altogether.
Which ROMs have addressed the stock mail applet or am I stuck with +20pt fonts on an otherwise gorgeous display?
I know CM10's default email fixes the issue (and bonus--you can flip through your emails without going back to your inbox). Of course, it also forces you to input your pin every time you want to use the phone, but that's a minor bug.
Links inside of emails NEVER worked for me on this phone, even when it was bone stock.
Clickable links in an email (and text messages) on a mobile device is patented by Apple and that may be the reason why they're not working in the stock mail app.
I can't speak with authority, but non-clickable links in email may be an intentional move by HTC to avoid getting sued.

I thought the meanrom had this fix??? I've never had any issues on mine. Then again, I run the stock w/goodies rom; 1.78 to be exact. I've had nothing but good luck with my email; even with meanrom.
Mikey just put up MeanRom 3.8 and I think he might have fixed these issues. Download it and try it.

Or use K-9 email because it's amazing and by far the best email app in existence.

Thanks for the notice-- I tried it and found no difference to mail. Links are still disabled in plain-text formatted E-mails and the too-large font issue remains. IMAP accounts don't auto-sync either.

I feel your pain.
Unfortunately you might just have to go with CM10, if this is you use Mail on your phone this much. The one feature lacking from the CM10 version is the inability to set an update schedule. But everything else is at least comparable.
And, just like with the Sense version, there is a version that bypasses Exchange security so you don't have to use a PIN to unlock your phone every time.
+1 on CM10
Thanks for the responses. I'm surprised few ROMs seem to address this. I'm going to try Stock w/ Goodies or CM10 next... Are there any glaring issues to look out for?

Have you used K9 mail? The logo is stupid but the app is amazing. It always is on top of "best email app" lists. Give that a shot before changing ROMs just for the sake of the email app.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I thought about K-9 but that was back when it still had the Gingerbread UI. I still do.t think I should have to maintain a third party app for basic functionality that HTC borked from the factory.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed yet? Or will I just need to find a new mail app?

Multiuser was finally enabled. Great news on that front.
With the update to 4.3 comes App Ops! Now we can restrict individual apps from accessing personal information.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/app-ops-brings-granular-permissions-control-to-android-4-3/
It is with misfortune that this functionality will be removed if our devices get updated to 4.4.2.
4.3 update install failed
I downloaded and there was a button that said install/restart. Clicked the button it disappeared, but nothing else happened. Didn't install 4.3... restart did nothing. If i try to download system update, it tells me the system is already up to date. I don't see the update file in downloads, could it be somewhere else. Any thoughts?
I understand that on most android devices the update goes on the cache partition (which is only viewable with root).

I have the same email problem with my Hotmail: 4.2.2 worked flawlessly, but now 4.3 will not connect to Hotmail using the stock client. The workaround solution is to download and use Microsoft's official Outlook app from Google Play. You'll have to use the Outlook client to send and receive mail, but at least your email will start working again.

Email Apps

Hey folks
A buddy at work is looking for an email application that can handle both gmail and exchange (office365) and has the ability to turn off (at least) the notifications, but for just 1 of the two accounts, say after 5pm. Strange request, I know. If anyone knows of such an app please do let me know. Thanks a ton!!

Hey Patch,
I wanna start by thanking you a ton for your ROMS! I run your BeanStalk on my OG note and have not changed since.. I've read a lot about other ROMS but I'm so happy with my phone's performance that I just don't wanna venture into other roms. Again, thank you for making our devices stay relevant and updated!
As for the APP.. my girlfriend has an S4, and the stock Samsung email app seems to work within the parameters of your request: it runs both gmail and exchange (although Gmail isn't pushed, only pulled at a max frequency of every 15 minutes) and you can turn notifications of each individual account at will (IDK if it can be done automatically, but I could look into if you'd like).
Would this app work for your friend you think? If so, it could just be installed as an .apk and then run as system app.... couldn't it?
If you by any chance need the app to be uploaded, let me know, I'll gladly do it!

I guess I should never assume.
On the playstore I stumbled upon this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trtf.blue
Haven't really really tried it 'cause all the accounts I use are either gmail or google apps for business, so I just use the stock gmail app.
The description seems to match everything you state is required, so I hope it helps!
Try k9. I use to use it back in the day.
