[Q] **PLEASE HELP** Email Account 1x1 Widget Missing - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I've seen this question posted on various forums, including this one, but there's never been an answer. I just upgraded to a Galaxy S3 with JB and the email account shortcut is missing. I use the stock email app for my personal pop3 email as well as my corporate email. I really don't want to use a 3rd party email app, this one works fine for me. With my old Bionic (running JB as well) I had this shortcut to go directly to each account, the GS3 does not have this. Can this be added?
Also just rooted and rom'd the phone to the Synergy rom and it's still not there.

is synergy debloated? maybe the stock samsung email app has been removed.

Yes, it's somewhat debloated, but it wasn't in the stock JB rom either. I love the phone, but this is really irritating...

Bump? Switched to CleanROM and still no go...

Nobody? I can't be the only one that uses this shortcut?

Bueller?

I am very Very disappointed that they removed this widget. Is there any way to get it back on a 4.3 stock or jellybeans rom on Vox Note 3?

[Q] E-Mail Notification

Okay, I have been through this so much. Email notification for anything other than GMail.
On stock, any emails that come in from say Yahoo, AOL etc get the notification bubble on the Mail app. However seems like if we flash a ROM that is senseless that this just doesn't work.
Things I have tried:
Wiped Davik Cache and re-flashed ROM
Used POP3 settings for AOL
Used IMAP settings for AOL
Used Launcher Pro, no go
Used ADW Launcher with Notification add on.
Installed 3rd party ROM with Sense.. and it works perfect. So what is it that a senseless ROM breaks?
Looking for a program that either one shows new email notifications (bubble) or what settign to make it work in a Non-Sense ROM.
Please I am not looking to kill off my AOL account as I have had it for 10 plus years. I have both gmail and aol and would like to use both.
You can link the aol account to your gmail account.

That would make all emails go through gmail. Thanx for suggestion. Lookign for why it works with sense to have both inboxes and get notificiation no problem..
Because it's a feature of HTC Sense. You run a "senseless" rom, that feature is removed.
So the capability is completely broken in a senseless ROM? No way?

I'm sure it isn't completely broken, there is most likely a workaround somewhere. Unfortunately, I only use Gmail, and run a Sense based rom, so I am not sure how it would be done. The AOSP mail client has different features from the Sense mail client on Android.
I think I get what your saying. If the mail client was left in from the Sense, whihc it usually is, that apk works only as a sense based. So when sense isn't runing it down't work anymore.
With our great developers around here would have thought a fixed would have been done by now..

I don't think very many people use AOL anymore, so it probably isn't a priority at all. You might be able to PM a developer, or post a request in the Q&A forum for it.
I get that, but you also have exchange, yahoo and all the others this phone can use.. not everyone in the world has gmail. LOL
I do appreciate you answering tho... must be some answer out there...

I can't seem to get K-9, maildroid or enhanced email to work reliably with Sense. However, when I go to sense they all work perfectly. Go figure

email and other stock apps?

I am running GummyChaged 1.8.1 and love it, but like stock email app and some other stock apps, how do I get them installed again?
The reason why I like stock apps is, it shows all my folders from hotmail apart from inbox and also allows customization, I have tried K9 mail and not happy with it.
I'd assume there would be a ROM for it but I haven't seen one that has individual stock apps, only a full restore, sorry D:
You could also check the Market(if you haven't already), that's about all I can think of.

Does Samsung Ever Upgrade Stock Apps?

Hi all, I'm a very recent switcher from iPhone (just got the SR 5 days ago after owning the original iPhone and then the 3gs for the past 4 years) and had a question about the stock apps.
I really like the stock Samsung e-mail app over the Gmail app for managing my gmail accounts but one thing that is a glaring omission is the inability to archive e-mails. I know you can do this through the Gmail app but to me the Samsung app is just slicker plus it has unified inbox which was great on the iPhone.
In the original iPhone mail app you used to not be able to archive Gmail email for the longest time until a fairly recent update (i think it was the same update that gave us unified inbox- not sure though). Along the same lines, is it possible that Samsung will ever update the stock e-mail app to support archiving? If so, how do you update stock apps? Does it only come with a new OS update like ICS?
I guess I could be persuaded into looking at 3rd party apps but I think I really prefer to stay with stock because I know it has been specifically designed with this phone's hardware in mind and is probably the most optimized with regards to memory management, battery, etc. Thanks!
gmail for android supports archiving already.
You might be able to archive with activesync/imap if you move the email out of the inbox folder but that's more of a hack then anything else.
To answer your original question I would not expect many changes to the stock apps excluding those that are in the market (maps, gmail, etc) until we get ics.

Best email app on CM7 / Boca

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

Happy to find someone who shares my opinion
If you follow my link above you will find a version of Samsung's app hat installs on MIUI but is a bit buggy (Will not easily allow to attach something to the email and will not support Exchange accounts)

a couple more noob questions

I'm not new to Android or Marshmallow, just the S7 and the Samsung skin and apps. I currently hooked up my company's exchange client using the S7 account manager and am using the mail and calendar app in Knox. Anyway, the crux of it is ... I'm not really liking the way the mail app works. I was previously using Touchdown on my Moto X and have been pretty used to that. Is there any opinions on whether the default mail client sucks, or is good does somebody have an Exchange (Activesync) mail client they REALLY like and want to suggest?
Or is this just a case of 'give it a few weeks to get used to it' sort of thing.
The same thing applies to the dialer, though I feel more stongly about this. I much prefer the stock Android dialer to the Sammy one. Can somebody give me some guidance on how to switch back.
Also, I'm really not liking the messaging client. That's easily switchable, but before I completely abandon it is there any really good things about it I'm missing out on that should make me reconsider?
Thanks,
- Steve

+1 for the Google Messenger. It's the only one I've used for a while now.
As for Exchange, I put all my work stuff into My Knox - using the stock email client - and perfectly happy there. I used to use Touchdown as well.
