[Q] [?] AOSP Lollipop E-mail Client? - Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps

Hey All:
There seemed to have been some work in the past getting the AOSP E-mail Client up and running on Touchwiz, but I can't find any updated Lollipop AOSP files.
Does anybody know if we can get the Lollipop AOSP E-mail Client up and running on the S5 running (rooted, custom) Touchwiz roms? I'm looking for its Android Wear integration (and can't get Gmail's exchange abilities running).
Thanks for any help.

E-mail client It has been replaced by Gmail. You have to use gmail as a client also for account not google.

Unfortunately all that I get are crashes on Gmail when I sideload in the Exchange support. Are you sure that the AOSP client isn't available? Samsung still builds their custom version for lollipop; it just doesn't have decent Wear support.

He literally just told you gmail replaced the aosp email client. also the exchange support afaik was only needed to be sideloaded with the first few builds of that gmail update. since lollipop came out exchange can be done natively by the gmail app alone
EDIT:
I made a mistake gmail only nativley supports exchange on nexus devices. install this http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ge-services-6-5-1729047-android-apk-download/ to get it working

I should have been more clear to keep from getting flamed. I wasn't attacking him, I was just asking whether the two were still available simultaneously, in the same way as Hangouts hasn't fully replaced the Messenger application (and the latter has been released to the play store). I deserved that tone of a response.
Installing the Exchange Services and using Gmail to handle my Exchange account results in FC's of Gmail on boot and any time I try to access the Exchange account in Gmail. I'm on a Galaxy S5 (W8) running XTreStoLite (a stripped down but otherwise stock Touchwiz ROM). My hope was that AOSP is still around. If not, then maybe I'll try the Nine e-mail client.
No offense intended and glad someone came to the original responder's aide after my rude comment.

I'm switching from a Moto to Nexus shortly and was upset to see no more stock mail app, I am going to try the apk's from the above thread. Hope they will work, Gmail just isn't as good.

E-Mail

OK...
So I've got 2.1, got it rooted and until I have the time to get rid of that horrible blue I thought I'd give Timescape another go... First up, big fail on the call log, but maybe they'll sort that with the next update later this year...
Then I had a look at using the standard e-mail so I would have my mail in Timescape. I'd been using the gmail app and moxier (for my exchange account at work). After playing around I've got two questions:
1. I had read that the android e-mail app supports exchange in 2.1 but it won't accept the details from my work server. Has anyone got an exchange account to work with the standard mail app? Or has SE decided we don't need this because we've got Moxier?
2. This may be pretty simple, but I just want to move an e-mail from my inbox to a folder.... is this not possible, or am I an idiot? (these aren't necessarily mutually exclusive )
EDIT: I read up again on this today - the active sync support is in 2.1, but it is up to the manufacturer to implement it due to licensing costs (google doesn't want to be giving microsoft money now, does it ) Which means we're stuck with moxier. All I really wanted was one calendar with everything in it (exchange and google) but the only way I can see of doing that is with a desktop sync, and we don't have desktop access to our exchange server as it is hosted (terminal server or active sync only...)

Hi,
I'm also afraid of using Moxier for Exchange sync and it's normally a "no go" for me.
But I don't have the update in Germany right now so I'll wait....and sell it after updating
I don't know why they (have to) use Moxier, but the integration has not taken place.
No merge of Moxier and X10 calendar! No Moxier widget that can be used instead.
But I think that there are not much people out there who miss the "integrated" Excange sync.
I've played with two other devices and I intend to change.
You can try K9 or ShangMail. Pretty cool apps for push email.

Oh well, thanks anyway guys. I guess I'll just have to keep things as they were...

Syncing contacts

I have a question about the 2.3.4 hktw build is there a fix to sync Facebook contacts? I know blur isn't being used but is there another method to add fb contacts to address book
Try the blur fix.
I wish there was a way to fix exchange syncing. I can't get my email or contacts.

I've been using the version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007. It can be installed alongside BlurEmail from Motorola. It uses a separate "Exchange" type account outside of MotoBlur under accounts.
Note: This version has been hacked to remove the Exchange security features. Using this against secured, corporate Exchange is grounds for firing in some companies. (If anyone has stock Gingerbread email without this hack, I would love to have a copy.)
I use it against Zimbra, because BlurEmail frequently truncates Zimbra emails with no option to "Get More". Using this on 2.2.x allowed me to read all my email, but I couldn't click on links or copy text from the email. It seems to work perfectly on 2.3.4 though.
Just found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15164552 that was pulled from 2.3.4 samsung. It might work for you too without the concern about the security hack. I haven't tried it though.
EDIT: I installed this version. It seems to work fine. In the menu there is an icon that looks like a Volume icon that seems to actually be refresh.
That was an easy fix by just creating a new motor blur acount and adding the social networks to the accounts tab.

Stock email app unusable

Anyone else having trouble with the stock email app? Its brutally slow and freezes the whole phone. The problem is that it syncs with the stock calender app which I need. K9 mail does not as far as I know. I wish it was possible to remove our replace the stock email app with a newer or older or fixed version or something, but I don't have root and I don't know how to without it. Any suggestions for this problem or similar experiences?

I was having issues with the stock email app. Any message I would send from my phone it would stay in the outbox and not actually send the email. I would try manually pushing the email and that would not work. My suggestion is to try enhanced email from the market. I have been using it for a week now and the customizations above the stock email are worth the price. I believe you can Google it and download a free week trial version from their website.
You can try other mail clients but if you are using your phone for work and connecting to an Exchange (or exchange-like) ActiveSync server, take it from someone who is not only a heavy email user but also the email co-admin for a 5000 user environment, Touchdown by Nitrodesk right now is the only fully functional non-buggy exchange mail client for Android. If you are only a casual or occasional email user then Enhanced Email is ok, but still has a lot of bugs. I have a lot of experience supporting everything else out there (Including a few hundred Blackberry Enterprise users, and iPhone users) and right now Touchdown for Android is the only stable one that has feature parity with a real corporate email client.
Having said that, the stock mail client on CM7 is a lot less buggy than Samsung's, HTC's or Motorola's. So if you really need to use stock for some kind of calendar integration or because your favorite widget only supports stock mail and you are comfortable with flashing custom roms then CM7 give a try.
Hi, i'm really new to all this root/cwm/flash thing, i hope i am posting to the correct thread. It seems that the stock email client will not work on unNamed rom, probably because social hub is not installed. It just won't set up the account. (I did install social hub using the addon provided by the unNamed, but didn't work, social hub won't add any account for that matter) Gmail does work. I just wanted to point out this issue, to see if someone is having the same situation.
Sorry, i'm a complete noob.

[Q] cm7 exchange email app issues...

I am currently using cm7 SD final on my NT16. I found the email app comes with it useful but not polished. It does allow search and it also strips previous email date information when you reply to an email. Does anybody have any suggestions?
I am aware of Touchdown, Enhanced mail, Kaiten and k9 options. The last two options don't support push. I have read good thongs about the first two but I am still researching for other options such as ported email apk from other ROMs or something.
I am using Touchdown to access my work exchange account, and I have no complaints about it.

That really seems like the way to go....
Does anybody have any experience w/ the CM9 email app? Is it better than the one comes with CM7?
Does anybody use the CM7 Stock Email app? I am still trying to find a solution to this w/o going to Enhanced Mail or any other 3rd party email client.
Somehow, I can't believe that the Stock CM7 Email app will purposely strip out date, cc and bc info on a reply. Is this a isolated instance of CM7 for Nook or is it a general issue w/ the Email app in CM7?
Yes i used a modified one (which i include in my modified stock ROM) and works pretty well, see below:

Just flashed Lollipop - No exchange email??

So it looks like Google has merged the "Email" app and gmail together to handle Exchange emails... Is there anyway to get the Android 4.4.4 Email client to run on 5.1? I prefer having 2 separate apps with different ringtones to notify me of what email I receive.
I have tried Nine, but it's only a 12 day trial, and then costs $10.... Also tried a bunch of free apps but nothing works as well as the old Email client from KK.
