I'm on stock / rooted 4.5.91 for ATT Atrix. Prior to the GB update I was having daily issues with my exchange email, where I would get a "Connection Error" and only removing the account, rebooting, and re-adding the account would get it temporarily resolved. It would work for 1-2 days, then it would have the same issue happen again. Unchecking the "verify certificates" box seemed to help, but again only temporarily.
Now that I'm on GB I've only seen it once, but I'm still frustrated by it. My work email is important (if it was absolutely critical, I'd suck it up an get a BB), and I'm seriously annoyed by connection issues.
I'd like to try the AOSP email.apk and stock Android exchange sync setup, but not sure how to do that from where I am now. I assume it is harder than removing the existing email.apk and installing a new one.
I know the Aura ROM has the AOSP email built in, but not quite ready to go down the unlocked bootloader path. I'd like to keep my warranty in case the AOSP email doesn't work and I need to return the Atrix.
Anyone able to help?
Thanks.

I don't know the answer to your question, but are you sure it's not your corpo's fault? We run 4 exchange servers here and we have had no complaints about failed connections or anything of the sort, whether it's android, iPhone or otherwise. I have an Atrix and had it set up with my email since day one and I have had no issues at all.

Nope, not sure. But I do know numerous iOS and other Android users (mostly HTC phones, a few OG Droids) that don't have this issue.
I work at a small company so we have a hosted exchange service, and I had our IT guy remove and re-add the Activesync service for my account. That seemed to help for a day, but then back to the same problem.
I'd be willing to bet it is something that is incompatible between the Atrix and the exchange environment, but I've got limited access / visibility to that, and a variety of data points that do not have issues, so I'm trying this route.
Thanks for the input. If you have suggestions on things I can ask my provider to check / uncheck, I'm open.
Thus doesn't actually answer your question but I got tired of dealing with that from rom to rom so I just bought "enhanced email" from the market. Its $10 and gets around the pin requirement if you want to.
Sent from my Att Atrix 4g unlocked.
I had this start on my Captivate running Serendipity VII a few days ago and it is now completely shut down, no emails getting through. I use Enhanced Email as my email program. Very interested in discovering a solution.
on my BB, it took 30+ mins or even an hour to get emails. My exchange works perfectly on my Atrix, as it did on my Inspire. Its probably your phone
Agreed EE is awesome. We use it on 14 different phones in my office.
Last time I tried to get rid of Corporate Sync I kept getting FC's afterwards.
I recommend using the exchange app included in CM roms. It's based on AOSP but has some mods like email signature, and on your atrix the account will show up next to the google accounts in settings menu.
go download a CM zip from http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/nexus-one and then extract system/app/email.apk to your phone and install it. then just add the account in settings.
I had issues with company exchange servers and went to Moxier Mail, they have a free 7 day trial then for $19.00 you get it all, contacts, calendar, email, tasks.....stays connected except when I changed my password (every 60 days). Then I had to remove and reload, but that was only issue....very reliable.....

Thanks, I'll try that.
Would I replace the email.apk with the CM one, or just install it in addition?

Appreciate the help. Got the file extracted then realized I had one more question - do I need to change the name, or is it ok to have 2 "email.apk" applications?
I realize it is a total noob question, but figure better to ask than to screw something up.
you can just install it. the blur version is titled BlurEmail.apk. if a conflict were to arise - it would ask you to overwrite. the system identifies apps differently so just renaming it wont change how it installs.
ex. Google+ shows up as "Google+" but the system seems and calls on com.google.android.apps.plus
Anyone else having issues with the new Google Play Market? Literally every app I open up reads as incompatible with my device. Is this the case for anyone else? I'm currently on Vegan Froyo... is this just an issue for this ROM, or is it with all roms? Personally its becoming incredibly frustrating; many of my existing apps don't update, I'm forced to scour the dark ends of the internet for apks of paid apps I already own.
I tried the Market fix.. but that seems to have made issues worse. Any hope??

What apps fail? Give some examples so that others can
tell you if they work on their Vegan Froyo. Apparently
tapatalk works for you .
What is "ro.product.device=" in your /system/build.prop ?
A bad value/corruption there can cause incompatible messages.
I am on TNT Lite, which a Froyo distribution, and Google Play
works without any problems.
This is when an old CWM backup might have helped. Do you have any around?
My latest magic bullet for Froyo is "Fix Permissions" from CWM.
Give it a shot if all else fails.

I also am having a ton of issues with the new and "improved" google experience... the playstore will not load at all on my gtablet. I am running gtabcombover and really like the ROM... it was flawless until the market went stupid on us.
as soon as i try to open the app, i get the "accept" button but before I can even push it, the thing FC's and no matter what I cant make it even initialize. I am really hoping there is a painless and simple fix for this mess. And even more hoping that google hasnt completely cut all rooted devices out of the loop!
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
I'm having the same problem as the OP, except I'm using Roebeet's TnT Lite Froyo ROM. I've also tried the Market fix with no luck. Any ideas for solving the problem would be appreciated.
Every app that needs to be updated comes back with a "incompatible with your device" error. Market fix didn't make things worse for me, just didn't help much. I'll have more time for experimenting over the weekend, and, will post if I find an answer. Hopefully it's not due to Google Play seeing it as being a rooted device.
It's probably not because the device is rooted. I am running G-harmony and play works fine for me.
Google Market updated itself to the Google Play store without any problem on both VEGAn-TAB 7.1 and GtabCombOver 3.4.2. I was also able to update all of my apps as usual.
I'm using cm7 rc1 and market is hosed. I have tons of paid apps that are "incompatible" and wont update. I tried build.prop edits but nothing is working. If VeganTAB 7 is working I may switch back to it. Was using beastys rom and Google play made it so half my apps wouldn't update that's why I tried cm7.
Update:
VeganTAB 7 works great with Google play and all my apps updated.

Try this suggestion out the next time around, instead of resorting to installing a different ROM.
Google Woes 2
I have a rooted G-Tab with Calkulin’s ROM v1.1 and clemsyn 2.6.32.9 kernel. Everything was running great with no problems. Google changed to Google Play and something has happened with the authenication. Downloads fail (all of them) and the Market fix does not work.
Gtab using Flashback 10.3 Google play
Similar issues here as well, My apps are updating ok but when I go to open Google Play to search for an app it crashes/forces closes. Been searching threads and found none that give clear fixes for this. THANKS GOOGLE!!!!
@aNiMeMaN14
If you know how to edit the build.prop you could try to edit the line for the manufacturer replace what's there with Samsung just remember to make a note of what was there to start. It worked for me but I'm on the DRH ice rom you you may not see it in the overall search but in you put in the name of the app you want it should come up and allow you to download n install. REMEMBER IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DONT DO IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE COULD CAUSE YOU TO NVFLASH AND REBUILD FROM START HAVE BACKUP. TRY THE ONE IN THE CWM ROM.
there is a modded market available now thanks to the people here on Xda

I've searched until I'm blue in the face on this and am sorry if i've missed it somewhere, but with any version of ShoStock2 ICS (including the newest 2.2.2) I can't get exchange to show emails newer than 3 weeks ago. Older one's show up fine. Also I can send emails and they will come through on the PC, but never on the phone. I've flashed back to ShoStock 1.9.4 gingerbread, and exchange works flawlessly. I have tried connecting on wifi and over the air, both with the same results. I would very much appreciate any insight you all might have.
Edit: Forgot to mention, exchange works fine on AOKP and Phone-Bricker ICS roms.
No one has any thoughts or help on this?
Hi,
I've installed everything yesterday night. Everything including the exchange servers are working fine on my end. Could it be your setting by any chance?
I didn't use any other kernel, I used cherrypicker.
Exchange seems to be working fine at this end.
Running 2.2.2 and using exchange, no issues here. No to be a smart arse but you did wipe first right?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
I always wipe data, cache, and dalvik twice before flashing a new ROM (thanks to the advice of the great group of people on XDA forums), and this is the only one that I've had any issue getting exchange to play nice with. It sets up fine and syncs all of my emails except newer than 3 weeks ago. I've ran at least 10 different ROM's including two other ICS versions with no issue on this. I've tried 4 different ShoStock2 ICS versions beginning all the way back to the the RC1 release, all with this same result. I've tried using different kernels with different releases, removing and resetting the exchange acount, rebooting, connecting on wifi and HSPA+, swapped the email apk, held my breath and stood on my head. Something is missing somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can find it.
Just to be certain that the problem still exists, I downloaded AOKP and ShoStock2 latest versions last night to try this again. I wiped everything twice prior to flashing and got the same results. Exchange loads every email from today-on with AOKP, but none newer that 3 weeks on ShoStock2. I hate to keep beating a dead horse, but surely someone else has some thought on this. The only thing I have not tried is running a kernel cleaning script. Does anyone think this might help?
The reason why I removed email/exchange apk from my rom was this exactly.
No idea why, but if included with the rom it will just causes problems so I added it as an addon in the kitchen.
I would clear cache/force stop both apps, remove them, then install them again by just grabbing them from the zip file.

Thanks for that reply! At least someone knows I'm not crazy. (I was starting to think I was). I actually ran your ROM a few releases ago, before kitchen was in it and it was pretty smooth. I may have to give it another go. Thanks again for the reply my friend!
Problem solved.
Well, I solved the problem (sort of). I said to hell with fighting to get the exchange working on ShoStock2, and installed LiLChris06's Phone-Bricker 2.5 ROM. This thing is freaking sweet and exchange works like a champ. I've been running this ROM hard now for about two hours with no force-closes, no lag, and the battery seems to be holding up incredibly.
Thanks LiLChris06!!!
Just FYI as i ran into similar problems with OMEGA and SHOStock2 roms, a single exhchange account seemed to run fine, but when i started adding the rest, i had similar issues with it not syncing new mail, and randomly NOT CONNECT to the exchange server in question. everything would setup fine, but eventually the exchange servers would just not update anymore after a couple hours.
if i went into the accounts/sync option in settings, then it would say it synced and would even give a current time, but would never display any new mail. if i went to "refresh" from within the mail app, the account would try to refresh, give an old date of the last refresh and then give the error: "connection error [exchange server name]"
i have not yet tried LilChris's option though, will try that once i get some extra time.

Are you saying that if you included it with the ROM it wouldn't work but if you installed it after the ROM was installed it would work fine?

Yea sounds crazy but that's how it worked for many others.
In the early releases when I included I got complaints left and right, when I added it as an addon it worked flawless for everyone.
i can attest to that (so far)..
i would get exchange issues within 1 hour almost certainly..
its been almost a full 20 hours now and i havent had a single exchange hiccup yet.
one thing that might be worth noting also, i think the app is different that LiLChris uses vs what some of the other devs are using.
i have exchange 2003, 2007, 2010 servers that i connect to..
the options for connecting to 2003 and 2010 (as well as 2007) are the same in the email app that LiLChris uses, such as syncing mail, contacts, calendar (only). 2007 allows syncing of tasks, and i know 2010 allows syncing of tasks and sms, which the email app should detect.
i dont sync tasks or sms, so not a big deal to me, but i did wonder if the actual email apps were different, or different versions, or maybe one was just modded? *shrugs*.
Hello, I've tried all of the google now zips from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856
google now does load up and work for 1 or 2 questions but then the phone will freeze and either reboot or lockup, I've checked the file permissions and everything is correct, I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this on their ICS Atrix 4G, mine is unlocked from Bell Canada running CWM and Turl's most recent CM9
I've had the same problem with Google Now on ICS and have tried everything before finally upgrading to Jelly Bean (I can't live without Project Butter anymore). All those different builds, each one having different issues, right? I have always thought it was just me, but now I see I am not alone... Or maybe it's just us...
Anyway, every single one of my attempts to make it work have failed.
I do have a solution for you though: Maluuba (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ce=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=maluuba)
It's an app available for free on the Google Play Store. It's a bit different from Google Now, it's more like a Siri alternative.

Error with downloading from the Google Play Store.

I believe it's google account related, I think there is an issue with your account and that device, but it is likely temporary and little you can do about.
One option is open a new account and see if that works, does not help if you have paid apps on the first account.
Another option is try a different internet source, like a friends wifi or a cafe that has free wifi
Is this device new to you?
also could try rebooting device, factory reset, reflash firmware with RSD Lite...

Hey there Shadow, I hope you see this. You and your files have been a huge help to me. My S3's screen digitizer failed, and after taking it apart and restoring the original files with odin/heimdall I've decided to use an x2 I bought for $20 bucks about 4 years ago mainly for the sd card and to use it for a remote control/music player.
Since I have to now use it for a phone, I've tried multiple rom's again. Trying to find the best combination of updated android/features and speed/functionality. I've used everything as of late, except eclipse because I've had trouble getting the 2.3.5 update to take, and the rom itself to take after the update. That's a topic for another day, I've used eclipse before but not lately.
Here's my question, sorry for the delay in getting to it. I've installed the JB version of AOKP. AOKP build 6 I think it is. I was going to apply the 2.46 su zip before rebooting but forgot. I did install the ReRecovery zip for cm7 but can't get back into recovery at all. I've done the battery pull, and plug into a charge to no avail. It simply goes into charge mode. I have the hijack boot zip on my sd but can't copy it to system/etc (I think that's where it goes), so I can't get into recovery that way. I believe if I could get my phone rooted, I could get it to go into recovery via the hijack boot zip.
Do you know a way I could get it rooted? I'm about to try a script from the EzSBF That I've extracted and put in my Download folder in Linux. I usually just run the sbf script from Linux when I want to sbf instead of booting a live linux cd. I have never used adb (I should've learned) because I've never had the need. Is there a way to use adb to push the files needed or to install the su zip? I've also tried installing this zip from the built in recovery to no avail.
Also, I use selectel a MVNO that uses Verizon and regional Verizon compatible CDMA towers. Back when I had my DX, if I had to sbf, sometimes I'd have to re-activate. If I had to re-activate, I'd have to drive 40 minutes away to get to a real verizon tower to activate. As the regional carrier wouldn't never activate via *228. I'm afraid if I SBF, I may have to re-activate. Right now, my ride is broke down, so I can't actually drive the 40 minutes to activate. Any other time I'd SBF and be done with it. But not this time. Again, if I can get root on this rom, I'm certain the hijack zip will let me get to cwm. I used the Hijack zip when I was on CM10 A3 but that rom was a bit too slow for me. I went back to CM7 which is faster, and everything works, but a lot of apps require 4.0 or greater to function. One example is Zen Pinball, not necessary but I did pay for a table. There are countless other examples. And I can almost never get the play store to function correctly on CM7 without erroring out. When this happens I uninstall the play store, and sometimes google play services and just use the old market app to search for what I want to install. Are there any root apps you can think of that might work? Or scripts? Or do you know whether or not I'll have to re-activate if I SBF?
Thanks for any input.

most roms will not work well on 2.3.5/1.3.418 except eclipse 2.3
downgrade to 2.3.4/1.3.380 if you want anything other than eclipse
don't do updates, just flash with rsd lite or ezSBF
stock recovery is really only good for factory reset
eclipse and cm7 are the only to rom I would try
I don't remember anything about root and AOKP
I can't say for sure about SBF and reactivation, but likely it will be required unless you have a nandroid backup made in a custom recovery
Thanks, I did the sbf and was still activated, so after tapping the four corners I was fine. I wish I had made a nandroid and backed up all the partitions before installing CM7 again. But I didn't.
Do you know of any active threads here where people are still using GB? On CM7 after the play store updates along with play services, the play store no longer works. And play services uses a lot of juice. I've found some alternatives to play services on here which may be a viable alternative, but to get anything from the play store, I have to uninstall or freeze play services, and roll back play store to the stock market. I can use play store version 4.0??? and it works okay but soon updates to 5.8.8 which crashes everytime I open it, and sometimes randomly.

I did try wiping playstore data, and tried various versions of the play store. I tried wiping and uninstalling play services, which we need for the most part for some apps to work. I'd forgot about the destroy market links option.
The actual answer is here in the hide section, I haven't figured out or rather took the time I guess to make these posts that pretty
BUT... guess what the problem was with the play store not working all along... I never would have thought about it and only discovered it by accident. It turns out that I was using an old theme for GB that I had used since the days of my DX. The Mixer series by MrDSL. I've always loved his themes. Of course everyone has their own taste, but cherry mixer is what really did it for me I've always loved that theme, and always used it on CM7. As soon as I changed themes from the mixer series to Eyecandy or almost any other theme, the Play store started working again.
Thanks very much for you help and for your awesome documents and links on google docs and your collection of files. I can't tell you how many times I've referenced your material. I mean a lot. Sometimes it's much easier to look through your documents than to search through a thread on XDA. or Droidxforums, or anywhere, Rootz seems to be spamed to death.
So I just want give you a huge thank you for all your resources. I found a ton of stuff for the DX and CM7 in general that you can't get because of dead links now. If you want any of it for your collection let me know.
While CM7 runs great, many apps are few and far between. I can't get videos from Youtube to play now. And I have to freeze Youtube anyway to get rid of that pesky sync icon. Seems like I remember another fix for that sync icon but can't remember where, I do know that freezing or uninstalling YouTube fixes it.
I sbf'd again, and again, I didn't have to re-activate. In my opinion just luck again. I've been reading about CM10 and CM9 a lot lately for the DX2 but I can't figure out why the last time I was on CM10 that my DX2 was so painfully slow. This is compared to Kitkat on the DX which should have been slower. Maybe it's because of the lack of support from Nvidia. I'm going to keep reading, but I know I won't get the stability or battery life I do with CM7. At the same time, I'm missing out on so many apps. So, I'm going to keep reading about CM10 A3 which is supposed to be far more stable than CM9, but I've read through posts where people used both as their dailly drivers. The last time I used CM10 A3, the dialer really worked poorly too. And I couldn't get the torch to work in quick settings. No disrespect to DKZ (Dragon Killerz I thnk his name is) without whom I probably wouldn't even have these two choices.
I know you said to run either Eclipse (I downloaded your Eclipse 2.3 nanadroid), but it'd have to be themed. Maybe I could use an xposed module or the Ultimate Online Kitchen. because the links for the Eclipse themes are dead now. I do have the Titanium theme but it's for Eclipse 2.1. There may not be a huge difference, but I'm betting the difference is there which is probably why although it worked, Eclipse didn't run as it should have.
If you have any advice, on CM9 or CM10 please let me know. Or even MIUI based on CM9, I've read good things about it too. but being based on CM9, it'll have the same bugs. Or should have. Some have reported that somethings worked better in MIUI based on CM9 vs CM9 itself. I'm sure I probably just need to stick with CM7, as it was running very well, except that I couldn't watch a youtube video, usually the error given was that "This video could not be played, click to try again" or similar. I've tried removing Youtube, and installing and trying different video players to no avail, as well as, installing different browsers. Again, to no avail.
Thanks again, and if you want APEX with some themes to add to you DX collection or anything let me know. I'm going to be cleaning the drive with those items on there soon and I'll try to make you a list of what I have for the DX. I didn't though away much. I did get rid of some old CM builds for the DX since we have Pooka's CM and the boot menu. I used to run either that or WizardOO's MIUI with his bootmenu.. Personally, I always thought that bootmenu he developed was the bee's knee's. (I'd better not say I thought it was the Shee IT.) I'm sure there are youngin's who read these boards too. And I shouldn't use foul language even though to me they're just words. LIke any other words in the dictionary. They've just acquired a bad connotation through the years kinda like how in Europe, nudity isn't such a big deal, Even in public baths, both men and women used those together. Sorry I got off topic..
Thanks again for your hard work in assembling your collection of lnks and documents. I have to wonder though why you don't include Molten or MIUI in your DX2 listings.
Thanks one more time Shadow....

Now that I've thought about it, maybe the reason youtube isn't playing in CM7 is due to the theme I'm using, but I doubt it.
