auto sync gmail - Kindle Fire Themes and Apps

Has anyone gotten their gmail to auto sync? Has anyone gotten facebook to work?

Yeah, Covered it in one of the threads in dev:

Actually, the sync settings are still technically there... you just can't get to them from amazon's settings app. I found an app in the market using another device called "sync settings" that basically just shortcuts that settings window - and now I have sync working perfectly.
Syncsettings: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.francesandmarky.android.syncsettings

Thank you for your help!

There is an easier way.
1. Open the gmail app
2. Menu -> Accounts (do not select anything yet)
3. Menu ->Account settings
C.

Hahahah. Nice Find!

Thank you!

I have also noticed that gmail sync mysteriously turns off and I have to switch it back on in the menu. The problem is I have already done that but it turned itself off again. I don't know if it is CM7 bug or Google issue.

Anyone get calendar to sync. Its not in the option menu to sync

Yes

For that one go into the Calendar and select Menu>More>Calendars. You should see a list of all your calendars associated with your gmail account. You'll have 2 options for each one: Sync and Visible. Give it a minute or two to load everything.

I have gapps.zip but see no calendar app. What's it's full name?
Edit: yeah, definitely no calendar app, just the sync adapted

Make Google Calendar the Default

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.

[Q] Asus Email Widget for GMail?

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

[Q] multiple email boxes with separate icons?

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

[Q] Remove Email App Icon in Android 5.0?

Just wondering if it's possible to remove the Email app in 5.0?
I think it's stupid that all the Email app does is tell you to use the GMail app for all accounts. I got and understood that the first time i launched Email, and now I'd like to remove the app (or at very least the Icon) if possible.
Thanks!
Disable the app
Edit: From the app drawer drag up to app info and then choose disable.

Thanks for this! I am having the issue now where my exchange emails don't give me a notifications. I have changed it where it should be showing but they don't. Also my messages are not being pushed automatically either. Any help?
Thanks!
