Looking for some help here regarding versions of email apps/clients.
I am currently using Embryo 6.1 which includes Email 4.0 (or at least that was it says in application management). The icon is a white envelope with a blue "@" symbol on it. It does work fine with exchange accounts. I just don't like how things are laid out as much.
Most other ROMs I have used so far have either included a version with "exchange" which I really don't know the version but I do know the icon is again a white envelope that is open with a yellow card coming out of it, the card has an "@" symbol on it. See the image below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What version of email is this, I have always seen it referred to as "exchange email?" My googling has not been very productive to answer what version or even the name, only yielded some images with the icon above.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
I know this doesn't answer your question, but it may give you an alternate you prefer. I've used Touchdown for a year for my exchange account. I love it - it is very similar to having Outlook on your phone. 30 day trial. http://nitrodesk.com/

I'm curios why don't people ask questions, like this one, in the Q&A forum instead of posting it here in apps and themes??

+1 for K9-Mail. It works, just works, does what it's supposed to do, all the time, every time. Push emails, poll, whatever it just works.

Why don't you just use the aosp mail? Imho really it's the best e-mail app and if you have an msn/hotmail/outlook account it beats their mail app to the ground (yuk).
It's easy to replace stock email with it. I would suggest you extract the version from CM7/9/10 zip depending on the version of your FW.

While playing with android today, I discovered something in the docs which people have been looking for. (I remember there was a thread on this few days ago but couldn't find it now. :S) The docs tells you how to make the IME not cover the fullscreen.
Picture speaks a thousand words:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The decision is controlled by the App, the TextView itself by specifying android:imeOptions.
See here: http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/on-screen-inputs.html (Ctrl+F: flagNoExtractUi)
I hope this helps the devs.
omg some please make this happen
me likey...i hate the keyboard being fullscreen sometimes..

You realize this is up to the developer of every single application that you use. I know some of our local wiz devs can whip this into the stock open sourced apps, such as the browser (please!) and messaging. However, for 3rd party apps it is going to rely on the developers seeing this thread, taking interest in this idea, and implementing it.
So... you have an app you use, point your developers to this thread and ask for some love.
daveid is right.
The picture above is a quick hack on my Mms.apk. However, I do think it's possible to make it a default behavior. Need someone to force this to always on in the framework. That's dirty hack though, at least to me.
I remember there was a thread on this few days ago but couldn't find it now. :S

You were probably referring to my post. I knew I should have posted it in the dev section. My thread is of people saying they want it but with no progress. good job tho. hopefully we will start to see a fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666990
well you said that the app is what follows this restriction; to make it always use fullscreen. what if we just remove the feature from the IME.apk all together? is the noextract cmd written within the IME? if so we can make the app have to use the non full screen mode. perhaps set the parameters to zero on IME so fullscreen can never be called upon. just a thought. don't know that much about this stuff. could u share exactly what you did to make this work? just insert the noextract value in the apk and resign?

Or up to the devs of IME's to simulate that flag always being set. I'm looking into it in my mod anyway.

In case you didn't know, Twitter has been working on an official app for Android and Apple, and Android's app is available in the market now.

touiteur still has more features...like multiple reply function. Plus it has @ auto complete. Also threaded replies is a must for me!
official twitter app sync with your contacts is amazing feature though and I like how it builds in the OS like facebook does
I'm not much of a Twatter person, but this is a nice looking app, will try it instead of Twicca
Nice, simple...damn, sync feature is nice...but I got used to Touiteurs different colours..
thanks for the head up bro! This app is awesome! Love the sync feature.

hmm it seems the sync feature replaces your contacts address book name with their twitter name which is actually pretty damn annoying

yeah it doesn't give any syncing option anywhere. it says that i have no contacts when i look in view yet i have 10 followers who i follow. that makes them contacts surely?
and where is this map interaction? i cant find it
FOR 2.1 Only !
My personal strategy does not involve, being on 2.1 until an official release gets modded, so I can't use it. Maybe it aught to be said up front. FOR 2.1 Only ! Doesn't show in my 1.5 market.
Just for the record.

You're only doing yourself a disservice, the jump from 1.5 to the current 2.1 build everyone is using is massive compared to what an official release is going to provide on top of what we have.

You may be right. That's why it's personal. I'm not recommending it. I'm not justifying it. It just is.
Back on topic: the 2.1 issue for com.twitter.android should be posted. Even the QR code should have been posted.

the sync is strange. I even switched it to Sync All and it did add the people I follow to my contacts, but the one contact that I already had in my phonebook, whom I also follow on twitter, did not get added or updated with the twitter link. oh well.
I found the map interaction after viewing a profile that had location-based tweets turned on, then pressing Menu > map.
yay
this twitter app is sick, i like the animations, and its pretty smooth.
I'm looking to sideload the sms app that i've had with two previous android phones. After getting my new N5 yesterday, it seems the stock 'messaging' app has been replaced in favor of hangouts. New to hangouts, but after about a day, i can say f-that. I know other sms apps are out there, but i really just want the one I've had for years. I promise I've used the search feature, please don't fault me if this info is out there.

Hi, you need to install the app you want, go to Settings/wireless & Network/More/Default SMS app

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

There you new app may show up, so, you can set it as default.
Btw, your post was not too clear but is that what you mean?

The problem is that the messaging app wasn't installed. My N5 was bought from the play store jsut this week. Maybe it is installed on the t-mobile or sprint variants? Has anyone pulled that apk and posted it anywhere? My wife just got an unlocked moto x and it has it.

this is the stock MMS.apk you see in that picture
Thanks, I see it's not totally the stock messaging app, but I will give it a try. It mentions a lack of bloat, but new useful features. Anyone know what additional features are that they've added?

Does this replace K9 or augment it? Get similar capability with Floatifications on ROMs with Halo or allowing Xposed XHalo module.
If it replaced K9, will it takes its configuration?
Very nice, but... cannot open/save attachments in Exchange mail

An interesting concept and implementation, though I am not big fan of green email icon though, I actually hate the icon (no offend)... I would probably recommend you to make it use email app's own icon to displayed (not sure how difficult this would be)
