[APP PORT REQUEST] HTC Mail Client (Desire)

Is it possible to install the HTC Mail client (from HTC Desire) on the Nexus 1? I've grown used to the 2.1 interface and not interested in running Sense UI. However, I would like to have the HTC Mail client since it comes with full Exchange support (mail, contacts, calendar). I know it is not as easy as pushing the APK - I already tried that and got the Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]. Any ideas on whether running this app (with libraries) on the Nexus 1 is possible?

N1 already does exchange mail and contacts. just install motocal and motogal for exchange calendar and global address list.

Mail client in N1 does not seem to fully support mail2web exchange, and the client is VERY limited. I had to purchase Touchdown.

Yeah, the HTC Mail client depends on HTC's frameworks, which means you have to run a full HTC ROM to get it. you can, however, push the default 2.1 Launcher2.apk into a Desire ROM, for that stock feel with HTC goodies. (well, you should be able to. I haven't tried it, but see no reason why it wouldn't work). And if you want to go even farther, you could probably push Browser.apk, Calendar.apk, maybe even Settings.apk... and a bunch of others to make it look and feel stock, but keep some HTC goodies. And I'm sure there's a morph out there that will change the statusbar back to light color.

You dont need to push anything the launcher is there... Go to settings programs and disable dfaults for htc sense and bam u have default launcher.

I am running CorGAL and MotoCAL right now. The 2 features I am missing is the ability to look up corporate addresses from within the native email application, and have a automatic signature applied. We have 5,000 employees and although I don't email each of them routinely - I just don't want to have to look them up individually each time - nor do I want to download their email to my address book. I know Touchdown can do all of this, but I think their implementation is horrible. HTC Mail client is a nice piece of work and that is what I would like to use.

try k9mail
Very cool app with search and folders the 2.510 is awsome but i recomend to fully understand the folders class thing
Very stable and cool with attachements (my first concern )

i tried to pull the motogal.apk from the droidx froyo rom and push it in, but i dont see it in list of programs, do we need to port it to froyo? or am i doing something incorrectly? i use android commander to do this?

Facebook contact picture sync

One of my biggest issues with going to a nonsense Rom(cm6nightly) was the fact that it didn't sync well with Facebook contact profiles. (at least I didn't see or I'm doing something wrong)
But nonetheless, I found an awesome app called "syncmypix".
Check it out. It works great.

Heh? Mine synced everything just fine. It even paired facebook contacts with google contacts. What rom are you running?

Sync my pic didn't work for me, it actually caused my phone problems.

I am running Nightly 29 and I am also having a problem with facebook sync. It syncs, but then facebook craps out and I have to uninstall and reinstall to get the pics back. They don't last long though.
I need to search for a new solution...

Check out the hacked Facebook.apk topic. Searching is fun!

That hacked .apk doesn't sync facebook contact pics though does it? I thought it only synced contact info, which no you do not need syncmypix for. I am using the app with CM6 RC1 at the moment and it has worked great for me. Now of course we have Sense on 2.2 so this may no longer be needed unless you run AOSP like CM6.

The hacked facebook sync or rather allow you to use facebook pix just fine. Although you have to do a little work like manually pick the pics when edit the contact info.

[REQ] Desire HD HTC Mail APK that works on regular EVO ROM

Is there a version of the Desire HD HTC mail apk that will work on normal EVO ROMs? I really want the integrated mail accounts viewing capabilities of the Desire HD's version, but want to retain 4G, HDMI, etc. that the regular EVO ROMaffords.
Any input?
Thanks in advance,
Ceger

I'd like to hear about this too.
+1 BUMP.

I have the mail APK from the EPIC 4G, it allows multiple exchange accounts and doesn't enforce Exchange security policy. PM me if you are interested.

Can you hook me p with the mail apk from the epic and explain how you pushed it to the phone

[Q] Install default 2.3.3 Android Email App?

Ok my Desire S is up and running now but one thing I'm having an issue with is connecting to my work email. It looks as though the included HTC email app isn't compatible with our exchange server so I was wondering if it's possible to install the default Gingerbread email app (as I hear this works very well with exchange now).
Is this possible to do on a S-on Desire S? I've had some joy with K-9 email but I'd prefer to use the Android default app if possible.

Just installed it on my Desire S, it installs fine but having problems conecting to server, you do get manual options so it could be me doing something wrong.
Will keep trying and post back if sucsesful

HTC email works fine with my exchange work email.

Got it working, bit of an odd one, it required me to change my password at work before it would connect. Not sure if something was wrong on works' side or if the Android mail app doesn't like certain chars in passwords? Odd either way.

HTC ChaCha PC Suite.

I have bought HTC ChaCha and now I want a PC application with which I can connect my HTC ChaCha with my laptop. Earlier I was using Nokia E5 and it came with Nokia PC Suite. I must say that it was a great application. You can manage and control your cellphone from your laptop with that application, send SMS messages by typing them on your laptop, save SMS, calender, notes and contacts backup etc. However I am amazed to find that there is no such application that came with HTC ChaCha. I have searched the web and all I got was some Chinese application.

HTC sync is not even close to Nokia pc suite... First problem - connectivity...

Well, tell that to HTC then
That's the PC suite for HTC phones, made by HTC.

There is no proper PC suite software for android phones (with exeptions), and you don't need such software.
Turn on google sync in your account and set everything with it. So everything that you need, you can do by your browswer (almost).
Contacts and email (gmail).
SMS through SMS Backup+ and (there is on forum software to send messages from PC using android phone)
Ringtones (uploading) - normal USB connection in card mode
Whole backup (there are softwares in Market for it)

There's a Motorola pc- suite type app that is not motorola specific. Connects to phone by ip on same wireless network.
Can't recall name right now but I used it on a few previous androids.
sent usin' tapatalk innit.

We can safely say that Nokia was more advanced in PC Suite department. Their PC Suite was superb. No issues with connectivity. I used to type SMS messages from my laptop and they were sent from my cellphone.

Try AirDroid app

Can I also add that as pretty long time nokia user (not now thankfully) I thought pc- suite was truly awful. Poor ui - but best of a bad bunch I guess.

I guess you are talking about early versions of Nokia PC Suite. The new one is very capable and user friendly.

I hardly use the updated PC Suite for my E72. I mean... Even when I just bought the phone. I am satisfied with my Androids as they are.

Sync
try myphoneexplorer
It can even sync Lotus notes and is free. you will have to install Myphoneexplorer_setup_1.8.2 on your PC and the client software on you htc chacha.

Recent versions of Ovi (Nokia) Suite have been very powerful and incredibly useful, but very resource unfriendly. On my i5, running the Ovi Suite was a breeze but when I installed it on my lower powered laptop, it used to grind for quite a long time. Sometimes I'd have to wait for well over a minute while it would establish a connection with my 5800. It also has a lot of processes running constantly to detect your phone so you have to keep on top of those, none of them are needed really. You don't need your PC to detect your phone and when you execute the .exe to run the Suite, they are called anyway.
On the other hand, I also used the INQ (lol) PC Suite. You could tell the INQ was still a very new phone as it looked like it had been made for Windows 95. Classic themed, 90s style of UI and a little bit weird to use. Yet, it offered a surprising amount of functionality. You could send & receive SMS using it (I did for a month when I smashed the screen on my INQ). The interface was basic but it worked quite well. You could transfer music to it. Again basic interface, transfer files and folders and not really much else. Not like the nice pretty synchronization of the Ovi Suite. It had Modem functionality and it also had a few other features like being able to view call logs, internal mem/sd access and could call up certain settings. Most importantly though, it had a tiny footprint on your resources. It was so fast.
For HTC, Sync is pretty much it.
Sorry, digressed a bit there, just an interesting conversation.
