[Q] Stock samsung email.apk on custom ROM 4.4.2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I'm new on the forum, i just started using my i9100 with custom ROMs, i tried CM10 once but i didn't like it so i went back to stock JB.
Now when i saw that KitKat was available i just said "why don't i give it a try", so i installed omniROM 4.4.2. So far so good, but what i really miss from the stock samsung ROM is the peak/off-peak schedule for default email application.
I use my corporate email account with the default email app (company policy), but in omniROM there is no schedule option like in the latest stock rom for my phone.
So i thought, well lets look for another stock rom for a samsung phone that has 4.4.2 and take the Email.apk and move it to mine. So i downloaded the stock S4 ROM 4.4.2 and i see that there is no Email.apk but SecEmail.apk, i tried to use that file but it doesn't work (copied on recovery mode), i know that i'm doing it right because i tried before with other versions trying to fix that exchange "cannot connect" bug of kitkat.
So my question is this: is there a way to get "peak/off-peak schedule" feature? where i can get the Email.apk that will do that? or what is different with that secEmail.apk that it doesn't work?
Thanks, and sorry if someone asked this before, i searched everywere but didn't find an answer, i don't know why people doesn't ask "where that feature go? or how can i get it back in non stock roms", i find it one of the most useful features, in fact the first time i went back to stock from CM10, that was the reason why.

I tried this (installed via CWM on CM11), no luck.I found SecEmail.apk and SecExchange.apk in /system/app but Email do not appear in app tray. Should I remove standard CM Email.apk and Exchange2.apk ?

y#eah thre are many apps on playstore for email try them

^+1....the above is good advice, there are loads of email apps on playstore......
But as for installing the stock email app on a CM rom.....it ain't ever gonna work.......
This is because the stock email app is a 'system' app, and sysrem apps need the touchwiz framework to function. This framework is (obviously) excluded from CM roms........
My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right

Indeed but not so many that correctly works in corporate environment (M$ Exchange). In fact Samsung did quite good job extending his Email.apk with some features that others miss like:
- S/MIME support
- setup of Exchange auto responder (server side)
- folders browser
etc.
BTW can you advice one with such features ?
@bhavstech
so, your first answer gave me point worth to check ...

How to install AOSP ICS MMS.APK

Any ideas how to install the AOSP ICS MMS.APK?
I'm running the LPB leak so i've got the ugly TW MMS.apk. I've tried MMS.APK from a CM9 download but it didn't work. Is there a flashable CWM file available? Currently using Handcent.
Thanks
I've been looking into this myself, as I much prefer the ICS look to the horrible iPhone-alike TW MMS app.
There's a thread that provided the stock ICS app, but the files were on multiupload, so it's not downloadable at the moment. The OP there indicated that there was a problem running the MMS app anyway.
I have tried grabbing the MMS.apk from the latest CM9 release for the SGSII, and that exhibits the described problem; the thread list appears, but the app FCs when trying to open a message thread.
---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------
There's also an ICS MMS app on the market, but it has been modified to include ads, so I'm not interested in that one.
Some guys looked at removing the ads, but the thread was shut down (for obvious reasons).

How did you try to install.As an apk. or using root explorer to pass to system/app folder?
Just wanted to bump this thread. I love the AOSP MMS app, and it FC's on me on Samsung LPH firmware. I tried pasting it to system/app, and it fc's when I try to send a message. Hopefully someone can port this apk
I believe you have to replace another apk as well.
If you want a rom that already has it, try Spike's Pure ICS special edition. It has aosp mms, calendar and contacts.

Westcrip's Resurrection Remix 9.4 is really good too. I've been using ever since 9.2 and it's been perfect so far - no FCs or bootloops or any problems at all, really. And apps are AOSP. He also has black versions of AOSP SMS and Market among others, which I love.
+1 for the AOSP mms.apk. Also tried replacing mms.apk with AOSP from different roms but it doesn't work.
I'm using Spike's Pure ICS 6.1, too bad the special edition is only in English. If Spike (or someone else) could give us a working AOSP mms.apk that would be great!
Now who wants AOSP MMS.apk for their S II?!
Download the following zip file and flash it:
http://www.mediafire.com/?8dejky1cqzc14lv
Note:
1. Make sure you flash it only after you have already synced up your contacts with google (do not flash it immediately after flashing a new rom)
2. This zip will replace your SMS app, CONTACTS app, CALENDAR app and your CALCULATOR app to AOSP versions.
3. Be sure you take a nandroid backup before flashing.
4. You must be in a Samsung ICS ROM (XXLPQ only) for this zip to work.
5. I did not create this zip. The credit goes to Spike_M who made this zip that can be flashed to his ROM Pure ICS. Do try out his ROM.
ENJOY!!
Thanks RobinRichard, though unfortunately this didn't work for me on XXLPQ (root with CF-Root). Phone and messaging services die horribly after flashing that zip with CWM -- "phone has stopped" and "messaging has stopped" dialogs constantly pop up
Will have a play when I have a bit more time, but I have restored the Samsung apps for now.

I updated my post. Plz download the new zip and try it. It works well for me.
Im on lpq (litening rom 2.1) and it works perfectly for me too!
I used AOSP mms.apk from Spike's Pure ICS V7.0. It worked well. Btw, I used root explorer to copy the apk in/system/app
Hi,
How did you paste the apk into system/apps? mine says read only ?!?
And also did you just paste 1 file or did you copied a few? like the files in the framework?
Someone have dialer app? =) btw, i'll make a custom rom with dsixda kitchen, so, i put the files in /system/app, right? also for the files in framework folder? right? =)

You can use a program such as Root Explorer to remount it. If you don't have that, there are other ways to do this using adb.
Does anyone happen to have a working mms.apk thaybis the same as the one in cm9? I think the aosp one is horridly ugly as is the Sammy one, but love the one used in cm9. But because it has a long way to go yet I don't wanna run cm9 as an every day driver.

As said no way Samsung To Samsung CM to CM AOSP to AOSP stock bits only .
Might have a look at the custom roms with what you want or look at the market place for apps that look like what you want .Also themes section to see if any modified apps .
Best way to test is replace apk in system/apps in the actual rom and flash .

[Q] Duplicate SMS Offical JB, CM10 mms.apk

Hello
I'm just a begginer in this and my english is not that good, so sorry if i dont make sense...
The issue is that im receiving all the sms in separte threads. I did this same thing with ICS and CM9 mms app and no single issue.
I replaced SecMms.apk and the SecExchange.apk cause i remember something similar back in the days with the official ICS for the SGS2 and aosp apps.
So the question is, what im doing wrong? What else i need in order to receive the messages in one single thread?
Thanks in advance for all the help that you guys could bring me in here.

That is the problem..the AOSP MMS app when used in a stock ROM leads to unthreaded messages..you need to port the apk properly to be used in Stock ROMs..

Thats why im asking, to see if some one knows wich .apks are needed besides the ones that I already move to /system/app. In ICS I just move mms.apk from CM9 and no problems at all.

JB Rom that supports encrypting the phone

Hi,
I'm currently running Cyanogen-10 on my SGS2 and I'm very happy with it.
Unfortunately, the corporate exchange server email we use at work, requires the phone to be encrypted.
Most of the CM-10 based roms do not have that functionality.
Is there any JB based rom that supports this?
Thanks,
Andy.

Hmm not really sure of this function but I'm using an exchange account on RB and haven't any probs like this.
Maybe it's a special thing of ur servers at work but at least u could try it:
RootBox

Exactly, it's a Exchange server settings. So on the stock rom, after adding the account, it tells you that you need to encrypt the phone and if you want to continue.
With the JB roms, it tells you that the function is not supported on this system...
[edit] Can you check if you can do something like this: http://support.google.com/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1663755

Nope sorry, I don't find ecryption in "Settings > Security".
So I think it's not supported by AOKP and so not for the Roms which are based on it.
PS: Maybe u can change the server settings at work *cough*

[Q] How can I install official Samsung app on a custom ROM?

I am missing some necessary function on the dialer and I want to install the official samsung dialer.
I have tried to do this by regular installing and by copying the APK into System/app and nothing is working.
How can I do this?
~~~
Sorry about the spelling errors, I do not speak perfect English
You cannot do that because it needs Samsung framework to work,i assume you want the video call function? It cannot be used on AOSP. As cyanogenmod devs said, if you want the samsung apps, these roms are not for you, try a stock custom firmware

no, I am missing the speed ​​dial (hold a number for shortcut),
Dial using letters (Samsung's dialer was possible start typing the name of the contact and the dialer would suggest the number of the contact)
Do you know any other dialer that have these function?
Hmm,i never used this app but i've heard about it, you can try it if you want: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.contapps.android.dialer
