Is there any way to alter the FB app so that I could install a 2nd or third alongside the original with different FB accounts? I've tried changing the package name and such with apktool but can't get it. Is it even possible? Any help is appreciated.
Just use FriendCaster for multiple account

I do but I don't like the UI as much, and notifications don't work at all

Hello, just got my NS4G today and thought I had a good plan to overcome the lack of Facebook contact sync. Plan A - Friendcaster Pro and Plan B - Facebook Sync. Well, both have worked mostly. I get alot of contacts and pictures, but missing many. I don't think its due to the the friends having blocked 3rd Party Apps sharing their information. Because on my Samsung Galaxy Tab10.1 32GB wifi, with the newest Touchwiz update, I get all my contacts using Friendcaster. But Samsung also now has provided a FB sync with Touchwiz so perhaps it is filling in the gaps?
Regardless, if 1 app can sync the contacts so should another. So that rules out some friends with different settings. Anyone run into this? I know Facebook sync is an island in itself on the Nexus. But I am pondering of anyone has found a non root solution? I have all MAC so I don't have an easy way to root.
Thoughts?

OK, I realized the contacts synched... at least more than I thought. However I'm having to link alot of Gmail contacts to Facebook counterparts than normal.
I also have 1 contact that just won't find the FB counterpart.
Are there any apps to smart join Gmail and Facebook entries? It got alot of them with friendcaster pro. Just need last mile.

I just got my phone a couple days ago and love it but couldn't figure out how to change from different email clients when using the stock email app. It allows you to set a default but are you able to go to a different email account besides going to the message app where is takes you to texts, email, fb, etc.
Thanks in advance and sorry if I sound like a noob.

I don't know your answer but if the "other" email account you want to use has an app in the market (most of the big ones do) I would suggest using that instead. Most stock android apps are pretty much just there to get you up and running until you install something better. I only use the default for exchange access for work.
OK that is probably what I will do then. I just would like to have all my emails in one place so it is easier to check.

Oh it's certainly capable. It's just nice getting "native" features like proper labels in gmail and such. If the stock email app isn't to your liking and you want to stay with an "all in one" app then check what the market has to offer.
Messaging App gives you Universal Inbox

Use the Messaging App instead of the Email App - Messaging gives you a Universal Inbox, or option to open any individual email account, Text Messaging, or Facebook.
(I haven't found an email app in Market that looks any better or does any better, for me)
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)
Hello anyone, is there a way to install the same app twice on my phone and keeping 2 sets of app data?
In my case I need to to operate 2 different Facebook accounts and I'd like to use the official Facebook app for both. Logging in and out multiple times an hour is not an option, and I don't like the other Facebook clients from the play store as well...
Thanks in advance!

Simple answer - no, it's not possible.
Long answer, yes it could be done, but whatever you try would require some form of interaction - you would either have to create multiple user accounts on your phone (semi-possible under JB) or use Titanium Backup to freeze one copy and un-freeze the other (should be doable, but I've never tried it).
I would also point out the advice BigJoe gave you under your other thread;-
first I don't have or do FB....but if must keep your secrets separate from work, why don't you use the browser "go mobile" for one and the app for your other one. Or if your work requires you to have a FB, why not just keep you private stuff....private.
I remember reading it was a violation of Facebook's Terms of Use to have multiple accounts, but never the less I don't FB.

The only real solution is to accept that you will simply have to either use the mobile browser version for one account or, if you require notifications, use another app for one of the accounts.
Will try the freezing, and thanks.

Hi, has anybody found a way for the calendar app to show other shared calendars from your Google account and not just the main account calendar? I have a few shared calendars from where I work attached to my Google account, but these do not show in the calendar app.
I found a couple of guides on the net from October/November and tried to follow them, but they don't seem to work now.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Seems like Google turned off that feature for new users December 14th?
Any workaround? Seems stupid that my calendar can't be used properly

I've managed to get all my calendars to show by logging into my Windows live calendar, then subscribing to the private ical address of the individual calendars.
This will work quite well for viewing the calendars, but if I need to make changes I will need to log into the proper Google calendar and do it from there.
Hope this helps anyone else with similar problems

Try this https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect
Found here https://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=151674&topic=13950&ctx=topic
I also found gsync manager in the windows store.

Look up the old suggestions on using Chrome/Safari from the desktop to mimic a mobile browser, disable javascript (necessarily to select multiple calendars), and use m.google.com/sync as a mobile site to enable multiple calendars. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that Google doesn't just let you pick these in a somewhat normal manner, but I was able to use that trick to enable multiple calendars to my Surface. Same trick I had to use with my WP7 device before Google allowed it to work from WP natively. Once you make the change it works fine, but you may have to do it again if you have more calendars to sync.
It doesn't work anymore
