I recently switched from the Samsung Fascinate to the Droid X and while using the Fascinate I installed the Galaxy Tabs email and fell in love with it. So when I got the DX one of the first things I did was try and install the email app, but it would just FC, I changed the permissions, rebooted, pretty much did everything I could think of.
My question is, does anyone want to give porting the Galaxy Tabs email app to the DX, or is are there any other email apps that have that same kind of feel, where when you turn the phone to landscape it has the emails on the left side and the preview on the right.

So, I just traded my Fascinate for the Droid X and it's great! The one thing I would say I miss the most is the email app that I was using from the Galaxy Tab. It looked great and when you turned the phone to landscape it had the two pane email list on the left and preview on the right.
I know that it couldn't have been too hard to port from the Galaxy Tab to the Fascinate, but doing so with the DX is probably a different story. I tried putting the Tabs email apk in system/apps using Root Explorer, but that did nothing and that is about the extent of my dev skills. So I was hoping someone may want to give this a shot. The apk is attached below. Thanks and good luck!
I haven't tried it...but did you change the permissions of the apk to mimic the others in that system/apps?
It should look like

I did, that is usually the first thing i try. After i replaced the DX email apk with the Tabs email apk and then changed the permissions, the email app was no longer in my app drawer.
Did you reboot your phone after you changed permissions?
I did reboot after changing permissions.
Hi guys, first-time poster here. This seems like a great community. I have a Droid 2, and recently installed Fission ROM on it. Love everything about it, except I can no longer access the built in motorola widgets, such as Text message, and toggle buttons for blue tooth, wifi, gps and airplane mode. Any way to get these back?
Edit: Appears I am also missing backup assistant, not fun having only 9 of my contacts available. I used Bootstrapper before installing the rom.
I think I put this in the wrong forum...sorry about that, feel free to mod me.
If I Remember Correctly, (I Am On A Thunderbolt) Fission Is A "Stock" Rom Meaning Moto Blur Is Gone, Meaning Motorola Widgets Are Gone
I think he's right, fission is AOSP-like so you're not gonna have the moto widgets. As for your contacts, I would be syncing them with your Gmail account that way whenever you switch roms/phones and sign in to your phone with your Google account, bam, you have all your contacts and apps. Also just fyi, I believe fission is no longer supported so I'd recommend trying a rom that is, i.e. liberty or apex.

Bare with me, I am used to rooted devices running CM. G1, MTS3G, G2, and now the MTS4G. So maybe some of these things are just sense issues or just normal...I don't know, but I don't like them.
Why doesn't the desktop picture move when sliding screens? I loved that feature because I leave my "center" screen free of icons, and I always know when I am at center because the pic is centered. With this, the pic is always centered and I never know which way to slide. Minor, but still a PIA.
In Contacts the only thing I have checked is Google Contacts, yet when I start to type a name to send a text, each conta7ct shows up 4 times. Again, minor but I don't like it.
Actually that's it. I guess I have to deal with some issues until we get Soff root, I'm just spoiled with CM7.
Also not liking the new style text messages, looks too "Iphone" if you ask me. I like the old standard thread design.
Dear lord someone needs to come out with a way to get s-off so I can run CM.
There's an app for that!
LauncherPro is a great launcher/home screen replacement that you can use without rooting the phone. It will give you more customization options for a better home screen experience without needing to root.
Handcent SMS is an excellent replacement for SMS/MMS messaging. I like it a lot better than the Sense version!
I recently entered the custom Rom arena and am loving my new found freedom.
I've currently got CyanogenMod 10.1 installed and everything is going pretty well.
Excuse my simple question if it's been answered here already (I did search hard first), but can anyone tell me:
Can I load some stock HOX apps like Mail, Car Mode and the stock touchscreen into custom roms?
I especially doubt the last one is an option but it is way ahead of the Cyanogen lockscreen in my opinion. Well it is in my case where my company policy forces the password lock via Exchange meaning in Cyanogen I can't choose an app from the lockscreen to open as the numpad replaces the app icons along the bottom. On stock HTC they are there and can be dragged into the "ring" to open them (admittedly the numpad appears before app opens but it's still faster to jump into an app than Cyanogen method).
Apart from that I really like the HTC mail app. It runs rings around K9 and the Cyanogen mail app so I would love to know if I can install some of the HTC stock apps and have the best of both worlds.
Thanks.

Got the 12.2 yesterday and quickly decide Touchwiz had to go. I decide to use an alternate launcher and setup email and calendar widgets. Lo and behold...there is no native email widget anymore! What the heck is Samsung thinking? It doesn't exist in Touchwiz or any other launcher I've tried.
I really like the email client tweaks but not tw nor magazine ux. I can't believe Sammy removed the native widget and force you to use mag-ux to see email list on home screen. Root might help because emailwidget supposedly works with root but i haven't tried it yet. I'm trying to hold off rooting until we have some more root/rom options.
Any ideas or alternatives?
Personally I like keeping my email clients separate.
My ISP uses POP, for which I currently use Aqua.
I use stock Gmail app for Gmail.
For my exchange email at work I use Touchdown HD.
What other solutions and/or recommendations are there for native email and calendar widgets?? I am using Nova Launcher, so no Mag UX for me, and therefore no widgets for email and calendar.
I use EventFlow for my agenda and calendar.
Not sure about widgets for stock email application but perhaps Android Pro Widget ?
I'm using K-9, and really pleased with it. In fact, went back and installed it on my Note 2 and Xoom (which doesn't see much use anymore.)
This is indeed the worst surprise on this tablet. I had the habit to use the great email widget on my other Sansung tablets and phones and now I discover it is not available on the Note Pro.
I've switched to Aqua mail on the advice of someone in another thread and its widgets are perfect for me. Check it out.

Just got my 12.2 today and try to configure it like my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1... couldn't find the eMail (multi-account) widget...
I'm very disappointed that they remove this. I like to have it in my Homepage with my Google Calendar and Tasks manager (GTask).
Come on Sammy, put it back !
