Hi XDAers,
I had disabled the stock email app when my Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100 had Ice Cream Sandwich.
I upgraded my phone to official Samsung Jelly Bean while the app was disabled.
Now, I have to configure office exchange email and I want to use the stock email app rather 3rd party ones like Touchdown. But, now I can't enable it back
Looks like, Samsung won't let users disable the stock email app in Jelly Bean . In Settings-> Application Manager-> All-> Scroll to the end, it says disabled next to Email, when I click on it and get in, there is no enable button, but there is a disable button which is grayed out :crying:
I also tried some of the apps in the Google Play Store to unfreeze apps. It shows the email app to be frozen. But it requires to be root to unfreeze them.
Does anybody know how to unfreeze/re-enable the email app without the following: :fingers-crossed:
- rooting the phone
- factory reset of the phone
Will reinstalling the apk help? How do I get the Samsung Galaxy S II GT I9100 4.1.2 email.apk?

Reinstalling the apk would be the first thing I would try. How do you get it? Search for it. It won't necessarily have to be for an SII. As long as its a touchwiz JB email, it should work fine.
Edit: for the apk to work you'll need to check that your exchange services are version 5.0. I imagine they already are, as you're on JB, but check anyway.

Thank you. In order to install stock apps, do I need to be root. Or is it as simple as copying the apk to the downloads folder or anywhere else and running it?
Theoretically, yes you should be able to find the .apk and run it. As you already have a Samsung email application installed, that could affect things. Your best bet is to give it a go! If it doesn't work, post back and go from there
Edit: note that I'm not being harsh when I say to search for the app. If I had it, I'd link it for you. But I don't, so it may as well be you who does the searching

Thanks, I did some searching and found a few apks (not S II, I found S III) and when I clicked on the apk in My Files, it attempted to install and finally said "Application not installed". Is there any other way? Or is it because of incompatibilty?
Does have anybody have Samsung's Galaxy S II Android 4.1.2 JellyBean SecEmail.apk?

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.

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!

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!

Can't you just extract it from Tasks rom?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
That seems like the obvious answer but for some reason if I just replace the browser apk in system/app with the one from task's rom the browser just FC's.
Clear browser data and don't forget to set correct permissions, use root explorer or similar. Set rw-r--r--
I'm pretty sure this will work.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Yes, clearing browser data should work.
Push to /system/app set permission to: rw-r--r-- (just as Patrics83 stated)
Then go to Settings, Applications, Manage applications Then choose: All
Scroll down to Browser in the list and click it. Then click on "Clear cache"
That should do the trick...

Are you flash with your stock rom?
If yes, you need to remove your old browser and the browser.odex..
If no, what kind of ROM? From the zip..i try to extract the files and see the script, and not find the command for set permissions..its just me or maybe someone recognize this..
Just find deodexed version of your browser from custom ROM zip files, thats the safest way..
give me the correct apk, and i try help you with the flashable zip..
this is flashable zip..just install from recovery..
Hey guys! I'm looking for a download of the AOSP ICS Email application to install as a replacement for HTC's mail app on my unrooted HTC Sensation. I tried searching XDA, but all I could find were flashable zips to fix the system app. I'm specifically looking for a regular APK that I can install without root. Anyone who can help me out?
Reason (optional reading): the ICS update that HTC pushed out contains an Exchange ActiveSync related bug that causes the phone to "forget" the sync shedule, and only plain text is supported. These things were working properly on Gingerbread, so how this got past QA is beyond me.
Here you go.
Make sure you delete the original email.apk and exchange.apk from system/app.
Place these two files in there with root explorer or similar.
Reboot. You may get some force closes (I do). Go to system menu and applications and delete data from email and exchange.
Open email and input your info.
Edit: You will need root to replace the files.
Oh well, I guess it was about time I rooted.
Thanks for the files, I'll let you know how it goes!
Hi
is there an 'official' website where we can download the latest version of the ICS AOSP email & exchange apk? and maybe also the other AOSP apk?
I'm looking for the version that will work with AWLPG
Thanks a lot

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.

No you don't need to create any folder just be sure to set the proper attributes to the APK then.
Do some search here in the forums as you will find many examples and guides.
