Is there any way to get the Asus email widget to open GMail instead of the stock Email app?

Menu in the top right hand of the screen (in the email app)
Click account settings
Add Account is in the top right hand corner.
Make it your default. If you have another email account setup, you may want to delete it. The widget will tell you the total unread emails across all accounts setup.

Already done that
I'd like to know if there's a way to make it so that tapping the widget brings you to the GMail app instead though
The stock email app isn't quite as good as GMail
@slient
I have the same question/problem
I think that's impossible because Google is blocking every connection with Gmail app. No app on the market can connect to Gmail! Even ASUS is not allowed to create an app that works hand-in-hand with Gmail... sadly...

Well, technically, the desired effect can be achieved by checking for unread mail the way it is now but tap action should just open the different app.

Ah my bad, I misread the OP.
Out of curiosity what features do you want the gmail app for? The only real difference I saw was priority inbox/starred mails support. I don't use that often enough myself to worry about it.

GMail handles labels better and has a bigger viewing panel
also the default email app doesn't string conversations together
Not impossible, launcher pro has gmail widgets that I use everyday on OG EVO and 3D EVO

Anybody know how to do this, it is extremely annoying to have to remember to select google calendar every time you make an entry.
http://androidforums.com/samsung-ca...-calendar-default-when-adding-new-events.html
Has anyone figured this out yet? I HATE that I can not change this to default to google's calendar instead of "my calendar"
I agree this is really annoying. I've had to go back and change multiple entries because I forgot to make that adjustment when creating an event.
However in the link above someone made the suggestion of downloading Jorte calendar because it has setting to make google the default. Did you guys give that a try?

I tried Jorte, don't really like it to be honest, feels a bit cluttered and unintuitive to me.
Still waiting for a better alternative...

I'm using Jorte right now. I like the widgets that can display my calendar on the home screen. However, the settings are cryptic at best, and the buttons in the app don't have labels and seem to do different things with each press...
However, it is worth it to have my calendar correctly sync with google without me having to re-select the calendar for each new appointment. I make a LOT of appointments on my phone, and when I realized they weren't syncing, I had to change a LOT of appointments.
Has anyone found a better solution to this bug yet?

Bump for this one. Is this something that would need changed at the OS level? I.e., no quick fix via a small app
Devs, we are calling you!!!!!!!

i'm using gemini calendar. it works great and has some other features.
This is fixed in the new 2.2 update; you can completely disable the "my calendar" app and use the stock google calendar and widget.

It does work on froyo.

Looking for suggestions on a good contacts widget similar to the one in sense. Everything I've found so far won't display their facebook linked images.
Any suggestions?
From my Evo 4g on Tapatalk
If you get launcher pro plus, it has a facebook widget just like sense.
I was going for a contacts widget more than a facebook widget. Besides I'm wanting to stick to go launcher. I like it.

I use this one called scrollable contactwidget beta (spelled just like that), it's awesome and you can chafe the alpha to zero so it's clear.
To bad I'm not at my 8, I would share a screen shot

I just installed this widget and I like it, but it won't sync the persons contact image, because the contacts get their images from their facebook sync'd image.

It should work fine if you link the account back to a Gmail contact. I've tried all the other contact widgets and even with this flaw it's better then the other bloated ones. IMO.

All of my contacts are gmail contacts. All have linked facebook accts with pics. They have photos in my contact list, but they don't show in the widget.

Any way to create a custom shortcut to manually sync gmail using adw? I've found that if I turn off background data it triples my battery life but I still want to be able to easily sync gmail with one click.
I looked through the gmail activities but didn't see anything. I couldn't even find a shortcut to get straight to accounts and sync.

Maybe try Any Cut from the market. Not sure if it can do THAT in particular but it can make shortcuts for a lot of cool stuff. And its free! Worth a shot.

try a different rom. I'm on 4G all day and easily make it through the day on a senseless GB rom. That way there is no need to turn off data. U do have the fastest phone in the market right now, u know?
on GB I had a specific set of apps I always uninstalled. Social hub being one of them.
Now that I'm on ics it seems uninstalling social hub is keeping me from setting up my email. Any one know a workaround for this? I really don't want to use social hub as battery life is what I'm after so the less background apps the better.
Thanks.

Delete email,exchange, and social hub...reboot....drop these into system/app reboot and there you go.

Thanks. This is what I wanted..
Does the hotmail/live mail icons turn into just a square for you guys? it happened when I installed the above .apks
Not a big deal, just a nuisance.
Unless I'm mistaken this is only for GMail app... I use the Exchange option to setup gmail email and don't have social hub installed and is working fine.

This also happened to me! Thanks for the fix!! This email app is great
P.S. Does anyone know what I may have deleted to make the icon badge notifications disappear?
This is the number above the apps for say you get an e-mail or text?
Is that also because social hub is gone (deleted from my ICS)
BadgeProvider.apk provides the unread email and sms badges. They only work with TouchWiz launcher and stock email and sms apps.
I'm using Nova Launcher, which has it's own plug in to provide unread counts.
In Gingerbread I had 2 separate email icons, one for Exchange and the other for Gmail. How can I do that with CM9?
Thanks,

I installed Gmail as a separate app and now I have the two email boxes with different icons I wanted. I suspect I am downloading the same email 2x, but I got the usability I wanted.

use the stock android email (yellow icon) for exchange and gmail.apk for gmail
Just a thought - have you installed the Google Apps package (often simply called GAPPS) which need installing separately in CM? That might be why you had to install gmail separately, but it means you'll be missing other stuff too. You can find the GAPPS download link in the CM9 thread. Use the right one, so NOT the one for CM10.
Pretty sure gmail hasn't been included in any gapps package for a long time now
