I had a chance to briefly play with a Xoom and the 2 paneled Gmail app is spectacular! any chance the apk works on VegaN? or do I have to wait for a honeycomb port?

AFAIK it needs Honeycomb. It's built to use the 'Fragments' in use in HC.
I don't recall what the Xoom e-mail app looks like, but if it's anything like the Galaxy Tab e-mail app, then I know what you mean. Sweet!
Fortunately, one of the devs (thank you!) got the Galaxy Tab e-mail app to work with the G-Tab and that's what I've been using ever since. Probably the best e-mail app I've ever used on Android. Search for the thread in the Apps section.

Thanks for the tip. I have been looking for a better e mail app. K-9 is functional but I just don't like it. I will search it out. Now if the Adam calendar app was a little more stable the business side of my tab would be complete. Its beautiful and syncs perfectly just has weird crashes.
Edit: the galaxy mail app is amazing. I was able to rip out k-9 and the gmail app because this does hotmail and Gmail better than both in one app.

Just searched the apps forum for "mail" and it came right up...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895075&highlight=mail
It was actually the gMail app, not the mail app, it was the Gmail icon, same as on my GTab, but it was two paneled and awesome!
but I'll check into the updated mail app.
Edit - Found a picture here http:/ /computershopper.com /var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/media/images/motorola-xoom-with-honeycomb3/684280-1-eng-US/motorola-xoom-with-honeycomb.jpg

It is built with the fragmnets api from honeycomb. Even if you could get your hands on an apk it won't run.

So here's a few answers I couldn't find from all the kickass people at XDA
- Sync Android Bookmarks (bookmarks in stock browser on my phone never showed up on my xoom...?)
- Have bookmarks show up in a different order (right now they show up according to when you added them... not alphabetical or most-used...)
- Which app you guys recommend for screenshots
- Which app you guys recommend for flashlight (using the dual-LED)
that's it for now really... everything else kicks ass. I'll edit the topic if there's more! You guys add yours if you need random questions answered...
If you have Google Chrome installed on your computer and you are logged on to your Google account, then the stock browser will synchronize your bookmarks with Chrome. I may be wrong here, but I think that you have to actually organize your bookmarks in Chrome unless you download a 3rd party app.

actually I don't want to sync with my Chrome, I want to sink with my Android devices only ... there is such an app as "Bookmarks sync" in the apps list, meaning it does store bookmarks... I'm just wondering why it doesn't sync between my N1 and Xoom

first thing I did is turn it on and use the 1-click method (well 14 clicks but they're all "OK" hehe)
so that's weird... no way to have bookmarks show up in alphabetical order?
"Flashlight" is very bright. The widget is nice and small.

I switched recently to Boca and could not be happier in terms of performance and battery life.
I am missing one thing though: the well designed / slick / beautiful email app from Samsung (probably the only touchwiz thing I miss I would say)
Which email app are you guys using? Kaiten, Moxier, Enhanced email look interesting. Any advice?
I remember a post a year ago explaining Samsung's email app was just a derivative of another one but I cant find the ppst anymore... Could be interesting to explore this as well

Email
I tried Maildroid, it seemed okay. I prefer Samsung email over the Gmail app too...
I really like the Samsung email app on my 8.9. I use that for my work email and keep my personal email in the gmail app. On my galaxy s and my (former) evo I use the enhanced email app. The developer for that app was really responsive when I first got it (back when it was $0.99, and had less than 50 downloads). I originally got the enhanced email app because it was the first one I could find that offered exchange phone lock password requirement bypass.
Thank you, I will have a look I checked K9 and Kaiten mail but I can't believe they still don't support Exchange 2010
I lve the Samsung app, definitely my favorite but I haven't found anyway to install it on a non Samsung ROM. I tried restoring with Titanium backup, I tried installing through ADB, but then got some certificates issues... Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
Couldn't find anything on the web with people able to go around and install it
If you want the samsung mail then you need to use a Touchwiz based rom. Boca is a CM7 based rom. Other than that if you need trie exchange support then touchdown is the best. Or just use imap and kaiten.

Yes I know that you need a Samsung Rom to have the right certificates for Samsung's apps which is definitely not the case with AOSP or CM ROMs
I was just wondering if some people had found workarounds
Touchdown? It's not gonna happen the application is bulky and ugly...
Thanks anyway
But there is some hope...
Unfortunately not yet for exchange accounts

Its not even about certificates more so than the whole touchwiz framework that needs to be there. If you are just after two pane email.for your gmail, run 160-182 dpi and set browser for ipad and you will get the gmail ipad site. On the other hand, Touchdown is not ugly once you fiddle with it but is the only working EWS client next to ICS I believe, unless you want Good for Enterprise (shutters at the thought).
Lemme know what you end up with.

Already using Good Enterprise for my Work email on my tab. It's not bad actually but eats a lot of battery
I am not looking for an app for GMail, but my personal exchange email. It looks like the one tat messes the least with your overall Android experience is Enhanced Email (And it does support Exchange 2010 accounts). Only downside is it doesn't seem to add any proprietary calendar and to be honest the default Android calendar is relly... ugly... (And not very practical)
Forget about Enhanced Email... It looked interesting from everything I read... BUT I tried the eval app. It resets all the sync emails every time I get over a few days emails... (Could be an issue with the trial version though, but if you make a trial version, you make it good....)
Besides it doesn't allow you to input from your device more than the name, number and email of a contact. Forget about birthdays, etc...
The developer seems reactive but it'snot going to be enough. Aaah I miss my Samsung's email client !!!
So, not I wont get this and I may very well stay on the stock app even though it misses pinch and zoom as well as search...
I hope ICS will be better. Anyway K9 is getting close to a good working solution for Exchange 2010 so I will probably wait until then..
Now I am using MIUI rom but missing Samsung stock email app. I tried pasting apk and odex to system folder but it is not working. Is there any way to get this application on miui. I tried. Different market mail like k9, Maildroid bit nothing comes close to samsung mail app

Hi All,
I'm just coming over to the S3 from a Motorola Photon.
I loved the universal inbox app on the photon (to be able to manage my 10 different emails (Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo/Corporate etc).
Is there anything like this for the S3? The S3 email app is not as well organized as the Photon's was (each email had it's own icon i could click on an view emails from - instead on the S3 its more a drop-down selection). Could one port / take the photon's email app and install it on the S3 (where would I find this?)
Thanks!
Kaiten Email has a universal InBox, as does its free version, K-9 Mail.
I'm just a satisfied Kaiten Email purchaser.

OK, I guess that "clean/slick interfaces" didn't come through in your original post, though that's a highly subjective statement: e.g., Kaiten is pretty clean and slick, to me.
Plus, there's tons of unified email apps out there, such as AquaMail and others. Just search the Play store for possible hits.

Hello there,
i use the program gmail that comes by default, and i think it´s great.
But, one thing i´ve noticed is, this software doens´t work with the multiscreen. Only messaging. But messagin it´s not push email, but only sync from time to time, which it´s diferent from the gmail program.
Which one do you use for gmail? the messaging program, or the gmail app?
many thanks
By messaging app is that the stock samsung email app? If so that's what I use only because I monitor 4 email accounts. If I had only a Gmail account to monitor I'd use the stock Gmail app. I find it much better then all other email apps put out by the companies.
Yes it is.
But if we want to use the multiscreen we have to use the messaging app, which its not push, But the gmail one
Sent from my GT-I8150 using Tapatalk 2
Correct. For push you need stock Gmail app. However I think in jb someone said there are more options for multiscreen. Or on the Note 2 essentially you could do any apps. Hopefully that will make its way to us.

WHOAHHHH!!! Samsung really listens.......i.mean.REALLY.listens........WHOAHHHHHHHHHHHH :good:
The samsung email app does work with push on gmail.
Just configure as "exchange server" and use m.google.com as adress.
Disable calendar syncing at next dialogues (as it would sync your gmail calendar twice)
I will continue to use the gmail app, I'm holding out until the note2 like multiscreen update.... anyway, the email app does have interesting features, like rich text editing and pasting graphics inside a mail
Anyone know how to get the old stock email app working on pixel? I've installed an old apk but as soon as I try and open it, it says to use Gmail and points me that way. Makes me feel like I'm using an iPhone.

Why not just download another email app. Like Outlook, that one works well with all email accounts.
I'd strongly recommend K9 as an email app. Been using that since my G1 and it's still outstanding!
K9 or blue mail works great, I've used k9 for a long time, just switched over to blue, very hard to decide which one is the keeper ?
Sent from my Pixel using XDA-Developers mobile app
These guys are not actually correct.
The "stock" email program STILL EXISTS, and in fact, is actually INSTALLED on Pixel devices from factory!
BUT, google has merged its UI into the GMAIL program.
So you have two options if you want to use the "stock" email program;
1) Set up your IMAP email account through the GMAIL program,
2) DISABLE the gmail program, and guess what happens? The "email" program launcher icon shows up in your launcher!
HOWEVER, it really is a much better idea to use k9mail instead. It is far more feature rich.

Aquamail Pro is nice, arguably better than K9, although it was just acquired by MobiSystems so who knows how future updates are going to look. Large companies acquiring small, indie developer projects does not usually end well for the app.
Security-wise, Aquamail, K9 and Nine are about the only third-party apps I'd consider.
I know this thread is now almost 2 months old.
what I"m looking for is a mail app to keep my gmail separate from my 2 exchange emails - and it MUST integrate with a calendar widget.
I haven't found one that works best. I liked the old "Mail" app - I could left swipe to delete, right to options - all your reply, reply-all, forward options right at the top of each message, rather than the options dots.
Outlook won't get sucked into my Google Calendar.

Aquamail - I tried just about every top email app. Also needed it to support Calendar, works perfect. I use the paid version and can't imagine a more customizable Android email client. Absolutely outstanding. Extremely reliable too.
Use Nine for Exchange. I've been using it for years, best Android email client.

Yeah, definitely for Exchange. I still prefer K9 for IMAP (easy to have lots of aliases) but Nine is definitely where it's at for Exchange. Great integration to Calendar and more!
It seems that only the Lollipop branch of the stock email app 7.0-x is merged into Gmail. Earlier versions of the stock email app, targeted for KitKat like email app 6.3-x, are still working. I am on CM 11 and the fresh installed email app 6.3-1218562 seems functional and wants to be configured with an email account.
However, regarding security concerns it may be still better to use an alternative mail client like K9. I ask me now how that one performs on low-level phones with weak hardware. All these super-rich features of that nice K9 mailing app needs surely hardware power. I noticed a similar behavior also on more recent Gmail versions. These are far more hardware hungry then older ones. That's the reason why I like the stock email app, - it seems lightweight and fast.
