Hello,
I'm quite new to this forum and i have couple of questions regarding this rom. First to say, I've been using omega roms for most of the time on my s3 and I was quite happy with it, but this new AOKP rom is totally new experience to me. It's like jumping from a donkey to a horse (if i can put it like that). It's like it's made just for me. I'm rly enjoying it. There are just few minor things that are bugging me right now.
1. Nobelium and Neon options load the same sound for alarm.
2. When i make a new event on calendar, dark green color appears for it in my widget. Is there a way to customize it cause it rly stands out from the rest of my screen.
Thanks in advance, I know that my english isn't that good but I think you'll figure what I wanted to ask from this post
Can you make a fake event and screenshot the calendar please? Also advise if its Gmail / exchange / hotmail etc

Well, I didn't rly get that last part of your answer, and I can't put a link in my reply. So if someone can explain to me how to leave it here I'd be grateful.
You can upload images into posts. Look under where you type.
Your calendar events will be linked to your Gmail account or your work account etc. I need to know which.

Sorry didn't see that before. My calendar is linked to my gmail account. When I go to calendar settings my gmail account is the same dark green color and my contacts are dark blue.
Thanks for taking the time for the screenshot.
I wanted to ensure it was the Calendar account colour rather than anything else it might be.
I personally use this app to change the account colours. You can supposedly change it in google calendar on your computer but that can be a bit awkward, particularly if you change wallpapers often and need to prevent a clash. This app will do aother calendars aswell as google too. I use it to set the colour of my work calendar events too.

Enjoy.
Wow thanks that was just the thing I needee

For some reason it doesn't copy Birthdays over, i looked into this a few weeks ago as i wanted all the birthdays to be displayed on my calender widget
Any ideas how without inputting them one by one?
I did it with a spread sheet and import. So of far no issue.

Would be a very nice idea for an app I think.
Think this works on 2.1. My missus has a htc legend and it works on hers

It would be good to have an option to sync events that you have accepted but I get SO many that I'm not interested in. So hopefully if they add it they will let you filter out the crap!
If anyone's interested, I've tried a few calendar apps... I wanted one with a decent widget and a nice "full app" to go with it. And then I found Jorte and I'm sooooo pleased with it. The customization may be a little too deep for some users, and it's not synced to your Google calendar by default for some reason, but once set up its GREAT! It might even make entering your Facebook events manually a joy! Well probably not.
REALLY nice widgets though. Sorry to wander off topic but I've not seen much mention of it and I think it's worth a cheeky mention.
Jorte - excellent - I'm now officially converted!
I set up 5 months worth of events and it just wont sync to mmy phone. I've tried manually syncing as well. I also tried 3 third party calendar apps which wont sync either.

More details might help. What rom are you running, have you done anything special to it, what steps you've taken to try and fix it, is this your first android phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Stock rom, just rooted. Ive tried syncing manually, clearing the calendar data, trying to fix it via google calendar website, tried a few calendar applications. Not sure what to do now.
Its my second phone, Inspire was my first
Does everything else sync?
From your response it sounds like you have looked this up already. So with that in mind maybe it's more of a small detail.
Are the calender events you're saving being saved to your Google calender or your local calender?

Well I dont really sync anything honestly. This is pretty much the first time I've tried to sync with this phone. The event is being saved onto my Google Calender.
Edit:
When I go into Settings>Accounts and Sync>My Gmail, it only shows Contacts, Gmail, and Picasa. No calendar here.
Wow. That's a first for me. How did you root your phone?

So when you access your calendar none of the events show up?
And you have tried opening the menu once you access the calendar going to settings->Calendar Sync-> selecting gmail syncing that way?
I know that with my calendar, contacts, etc. it took a long time before the information updated. I would say about 10-15 minutes and I did not create 5 months events more like major holidays and 250 or so facebook related events.
I would suggest giving it more time or rebooting the phone and trying the whole thing all over again.

that was for the Nexus 1 but maybe it'll work for you. Add a 2nd gmail account and see if that calendar sync option reappears.

Ok I added my 2nd gmail account, I get "Sync Contacts, Sync Gmail" only
If it were my phone I'd flash stock to see if that fixes it. Seems like the software is messed up. I can't think of any reason Calender wouldn't show up under sync.

Well I didnt flash any ROM, i just rooted so I can get a few rooted apps. Im new to this, but that means im still on the stock ROM right?
Correct, you're still on stock then. I really like entropy512's method, as it flashes stock (can help fix most system problems if you're running a stock rom) and it's rooted.
I'm not promising you wont lose what apps you've installed, but I've had a few times I've done it now and all my apps stayed installed. Pretty quick process all in all.

Hello forum-mates:
I use the stock ICS email app which has exchange server and it syncs and emails are in but when I click on email there is no body for the email and all you see is the subject and sender with a blank white screen below.
I have flashed the same ROM three times with issue.
EDIT: also replaced the EMAIL.apk and Exchange.apk with stock one and no change.
Any cure?
Working fine for me, have setup 2 Exchange Accounts and 3 IMAP Accounts and all are working 100%, quite chuffed with it actually as the stock email client for GB was a pile of useless crap, the one on ICS is great.
Working well here. Two echange accounts working.
In fact it's too good, as it's picking up the server requesting permissions for wiping the phone etc.. I think that's Exchange 2010+.
Just let them try
Thanks guys,
On Gingerbread I had setup Google apps email with no problem on email app (not gmail app) and it was working flawlessly, but now it doesn't as I see for a second a flicker of something to be there but disappear.
I did set it up on gmail account, but I was wishing for regular email app.
Exactly same problem here. The strange part is that it happens with only one of my two google accounts. Have tried deleting data, cache and mail accounts but no luck.
Help please!

Mine is perfectly OK... if it is OK with us and not with yours, then one of us is either lucky or doing something wrong... try to reconfigure again...
Just only one "unlucky" thing, is there any widget for the stock email?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
I have tried to put account 10 time. I have re-flashed the whole ROM 3 times. I have replaced the email and exchange app files with stock android and no luck. There should be something wrong.
Maybe this problem is only when you try to add the google apps account to regular email app?
My Google email account is also sync with stock email app, and together with my corporate email and two yahoo email accounts, they are working normally...
Not sure if adding another account of gmail would bring that problem of yours...

I son't want to steal this thread, but this i s very interesting. Since I use Android ()from 1.5 times till now) I've always used gmail app for well gmail But it has it's issues, like inability to send notification to third party aps and so on.
Can you please tell me how is your experience with using gmail in mail app? Did you try gmail app?
If someone here is using mail app with gmail account I'd also like to hear your opinions on this. Let's face it, Sony's mail app with two pane view and other improvements seems way better than gmail even from ics
Thank you in advance
Any luck Nimche? Have tried the Deutch ROM but still the same problem.

NO,
and I gave up waiting for CM9 release whenever, hopefully soon and maybe that fixes the issue.
For time being, I have added all my Google apps account to Gmail account which works OK, actually they work just right.
Are you adding Google Apps too?
Thanks for the answer, hope I can do that soon cause I got a locked bootloader.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I don't think you are required to have unlocked bootloader to achieve this.
I meant the CM9 part not the gmail one. I got my accounts on gmail app too but I do like that the core mail shows notifications in the lockscreen.

I don't like it either but for time being is OK, Now with seeing Jelly Beans and more exciting feature, that is what I want I am about to buy a Nexus Galaxy and take Sony hardware out and put that phone's chip in there
Actually, I'm using my gmail account for purchasing of Apps only... and I always received notification (like yesterday, when I purchased "MyBackUp Pro")... this morning, I sent an email to my gmail account using my corporate and yahoo acounts (through Xperia S stock email)... just received and replied... and all of them are working normally...

get the semcemail.apk from xperia T files,
1. use root explorer or rom toolbox or any file manager with root access, delete the original semcemail.apk or rename it to semcemail.apk.bak (location /system/app)
2. copy and paste the xperia t semcemail.apk to /system/app.
3. change permission to rw-r--r--.
4. go to settings then look for email app then clear data.
5. open your email app then log again your data,
6. now you can choose the widget on homescreen.
look @ development section or general section, there's a thread for the xperia T files.
here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31812779#post31812779
Just wanted to finally answer my own question. This is what I did and it worked.
Delete data on email app.
In Titanium backup, remove Email app and Exchange app
Restart
Go to this thread and download two files HERE
Change name (get rid of Google)
Move files to Memory
Move files to System folder
Change permission to RW-R-R
Move files to System/apps
Restart
and email app should fully function.
So I hate the stock messaging app. So I went with GO SMS PRO! I love the app. So many useful options! But I am having one small issue. How do I get Facebook photos to show up? In my contacts list they are all merged and it worked with the stock messaging app. Any idea? I have been using it for about a week now and I have yet to figure it out. Minor? Yes! But still very annoying!
Thanks for any advice!
Not one person? Hmm...

Thanks! I will try it tonight. I am guessing you have used this before?
I'm having the same issue with Go SMS...i think its a bug. If we use another program to sync, it will work..but the matching schemes may be different.
fb photos
it has something to do with ICS not sharing different 'account' information or something like that.
There are a few apps, like the one listed above, that pulls in your facebook photos, stores it locally, and assigns those pictures to your contacts list.
There are settings to specify how often you want it to sync photos, whether you want to do it over WiFi only or not, etc.
I have mine set to every 4 days, and only when i'm on WiFi.
Only 'problem' is that it will create duplicate contacts, and then merge those contacts with the ones you currently have on your phone. Just something to know. (at least mine does this)
export contacts out to sd card/sim w/e and import back to gmail
still probably going to have duplicate contacts, if i remember correctly thats how i worked around it.
annoying is hell..thats all I have to say.

Hey guys
I need help finding an app. First off, I will more than happily pay for one that does what I need.
I need:
Multiple email accounts
Being able to filter a specific distribution list to not notify me. I get other emails from that email that I need to be notified when they come in. I just need one distro list silenced
Different notifications for specific senders would be awesome
Please let me know if such an app exists.
Anyone?
